A Chance for DR.. Fish.

A Chance for Dr.. Fish.
''Gauthier de Ste Croix the Duluth
commission man who handled SO
much grain for the farmers of this
section last year, was in the city on
Monday making arrangements for
building an individual storage house
for the farmers here. The firm
of which Mr. Ste Croix is a member
makes a speciality of shipping grain
to the English market, but Mr.. Ste
Croix says they have never yet been
able to realize profit of 20 cents a
bushel after paying the freight, as
stated by the editor OF GREAT WEST.
On the contrary, he says, if DR.. Fish
will show them where they can
realize 2 cents bushel net profit
let alone 20 cents-on the English
market, they will pay him salary
OF s., 900 q year for his services"
Will G. de Ste Croix stick to his

and Sawyer did to. the $4,000? 1t
cost us about $175 to get the gristle
out of Bro. P's. backbone, and we
want to see some certainty about
this thing.
Now, we say this to Saint Croix-
and we hope some friend of his will
show him what we say: We de-
mand of you that you tell us what
YOU pay for your wheat-what you
pay for freight on every part of the
route-and what you get-1st, for

nish this itemized account to us (if
you ever authorized the above) YOU
are a fraud and a buffer. We will
wait two weeks to hear from you,
and if we do not, shall advise the
farmers to horsewhip you and then
duck you in the goose-pond.

Red Wing Advance Sun:
In respect to borrowed money lost
by the borrower, GREAT WEST says {:
IF government issues are lost they
1.-THE people, are the gamer as some
individual is the loser.
No interest is paid to any living
person on the lost money No mort
gage can be foreclosed on the lost
money.
But if the national bank bill is lost
the loser not only loses the money,
but pays the interest on lost money,
and also loses the lien-secured prop
erty."
That is, if a borrower of gold coin
loses it, he will not have to pay his
loan. principal, nor interest, but if it
was bank notes he borrowed and lost
he must pay principal and interest.
That is not SO. 1t makes no differ
ence IN the world what kind of mon
ey was borrowed and lost.
Our statement is true and yours
is-well, almost foolish-and every
one knows it fully. If the editor
OF that paper loses money out
OF his pocket which his Uncle willed
to him, or his debtor paid him, he
pays no interest on it after loss, nor
is his house and lot sold on a mort
gage on that lost money. II he bor-
rows money of bank and loses it he
pays interest on it just the same and
his lot will be ''foreclosed' on the
lien ''just the same" 1t is very in
teresting to have the Sun assert such
rare wOnders-but we think that il
the money lost were national
bank, mortgage-secured loan, or
''loose change" he'd find which drew
interest and which did not.

The laboring class, the artisans, are
at last awaking to the fact that pro-
lection is fraud so far as labor is
concerned. OF course the better edu-
Gated have known this for a long
time. The Grades Journal" of
Pittsburg, quotes the prices on plows,
etc., at home and broad, and dis
covers that if a $14 pillow is sold for
1915 after being sent to Europe,
then labor, in the shops, is being
paid on the 1915 basis, and capital
is getting the "protection" which lies
between $8.75 and $14!! OF course
if they can be sold for 1915 abroad,
they cost less to make, and capital
gets the natural profit on that price,
and protection-profit on the higher.

10 our friends in the Lincoln and
Yellow Medicine Counties, who wrote
for advice in the Hall blunder. we
would say:
Undoubtedly President Hall made
an egregious blunder. 1t was unfor-
tunate for himself. But we are en-
terlng now upon mighty work
with the nation looking upon us, and
rather than have Mr.. Hall called
down from his presidency we would
suggest a forgetfulness of the blum
der, and a union for the work. Mr..
Hall could not have realized the i'm
portance OF his correspondence at
the time. The nomination for head
OF our ticket is such as we endorse
thoroughly. More hereafter.

that the people should not have

Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is.the authority for the statement that the President indorSes Secretary Windom vlews 0f the silver question. He IS sure that the President will at very early day recommend to Congress the plan Of buying all the silver bullion offered at the market rate and iSSning thereon silver certificates. The President be- iieves emphatically that the coinage of silver dollars should cease. There are onls 60,000000 of these dollars now in circulation, and as the coinage goes on he dollars are piled up in the Treas nry. Ii takes some forcing to keep the amount of big dollars now in cir cdlation. The President, Mr. Smith says, fully lndorseS the plan ofissuing silver certificates which shall he a le- gal tender for al! debts, public and prlvate. Whether silver goes up or down, the Government will he respon- slble for the certificates, and there will be place for all of the silver pro- duced at its market value.

FREMONT.

"
 General John c. Fremont, once Governor of Arizona, has been placed on the retired list. As evil and military officer he is rated as small potato. His wife, nee Jessie Benton, whom he secretly married in 1S41, the same night he had engaged to marry Miss Paul and in honor of which event the guests had already assem- bled, gave him prominence, and log rolled him into position.
 John, like turkey Tn the dusk of the evening, is always looking up for a place to roost. In 1864 he was the bob-tall horse, entered by the ''Cleve- land assemblage" for the Presidency, as an opponent of Lincoln, but his wings had not sufficient strength for him to reach the top rail of the pollti- cal fence. As an evidence that Ere mont was willing, he hurried forward his letter of acceptance, which was dated only four days after his nomina- tion and three days before the Balti- more convention. It was chiefly de- voted to a vehement atttack upon Mir. Lincoln's administration. In that let ter he 'hinted" that if the Baltimore convention would nominate some other candidate than Lincoln he would retire from the contest, but plainly declared that if Lincoln was re-Domi- mated there would he no alternative but to organIze every element of op- position against him. Lincoln was nominated and as a consequence, Ere mont, the newly pipped asp'rant for Presidential honors, subslded.
 He was dropped from his military command Tn Missouri, in 1861. for in- competency. Gen. Hunter superseded him. His Notifications surrounding Saint Louis were monuments of his folly, as was also his proclamation of emancipation of slaves in Missouri, and declaration of martial law through out the State, which was nulh6ed by President Lincoln, who did not then regard emancipation as a necessary war measure, and for the further reason that such an act was the pre- rogative of the President alone, and because martial law can not be de- clared while courts are open and Tn discharge of their respective functions, as they were. at that time, in the State of Missourl.

The Russian influenza is rapidly spreading through the United States, and has reached as far west as Arizona and Montana. Thus far in the East ern cities where the malady has at- tackled large percentage of the pop ulation, it is not so vlrulent type as in some portions of Europe, where the mortality has alarmingly increased. In and around Boston there are said to be 25,000 persons afflicted. In New York 300 policemen are incapacitated by reason of the malady, aud in ali the Eastern, Middle and Southern States influenza is more or less prevalent.
 Should fla grippe m its peregrin- tions, visit Globe, the inmates of the post office and SILVER BELT office will likely be the first victims, as the mails are ready vehicle for its trasmission.
 Prof. Bartholomew, of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, says of the malady: Influenza comes quickly goes as quickly. The least robust, at any age, and women seem to be the first victims. It is here a question of bodily condition, not of the sex. The large numbers simultaneously attack ed attracts general attention, and those most impresslonable are seized, the onset being facilitated by any de- pressing emotion like fear or illness. There IS no rigor, properly, to be thus degiSnated, but rather a series of light chills and feeling of heat herewith. Sometimes malaise of a general kind is experienced, but like the attack it. self, IS short Tn duration, lasting but a few hours.
 With the first access of the nasal and faucial irritation comes the chilli ness, which Is followed by some fever lshnesS, with more pronounced malalse and, in general. the headache, weak ness and soreness of the members, es- peclally ot the larger joInts. With the progress of the case in some epi- demlcs there is considerable weakness, even marked depression of the vital powers. The pulse becomes small and weak, the mind gloomy, and restless ness ensues. When fatal termina- tion Is to occur, as rule, an exten- sion downward into the trachea and bronchI takes place.
 The rapidlty with which the disease supervenes-its preliminary develop ment being hours, and its whole dura- tion but matter of but three or four days-is Remarkable. Relapses are common, usually each succeeding sci zure being milder. but rot a few pass by easy transition into chronic bron- chitis, emphvsema. asthma, etc.

The heavy transactions Tn mines ana inning stocks Tn St. Louis during the year 1889 were phenominal, consider ing the fact that the business there IS of but few years growth. During the year just closed over 4,5Q0,OOO shares have changed hands on the open market, and nearly half as many through private trades. The business of the first six months of the year ex' ceeded the total transactions in 1888 by more than 100 per cent
 Mining is fast reaching firm and legitimate basis in St. Louis and "wlld- cat" mines are no longer negotiable Eastern people are beginning to ap- preciate the fact that mining IS as legitimate as any other buslness, re- quiring for its successful prosecution equal ability, experience and business method.
 It is refreshing to find an Eastern newspaper expressing such sound views on inning as the following from the St. Louls Globe Democrat: "T'he mining business is fair and legIti- mate business if conducted on a sound basis. There are few occupations but what have legitimate and specula- tive slde to them, and mining F no exception 10 that rule, and no enc is obliged to adopt the gambling method instead of the safe and conservative slde. If man buys stock knowing that speculators are at the h ad of the enterprise he must not complain if the mine does not bring him the wealth he desires, because he is gam bling with gamblers. A mine should be managed by a man with a fair knowledge of practical mining, and when lhe same amount of caution and experience Is brought to bear upon mining that IS exercised Tn other buSi ness the chances of failure are less than Tn many other industries. The latter clause, however, must be modi- fled with the thought that the mine k mlne and not an unknown prospect. Those who have failed in mining and then condemn the whole industry would have, in all probability, failed in other occupations. Those who have lost, knowing they were buylng for mere speculation, would have done the same thing on a horse race or in lot tery.
 Mining men, in a measure, are themselves responsible for the condi- tlon of puhlIc opinion which prevails in regard to mines and mining. and in thelr hands lies the remedy for the evil. The desire and, m some cases, the necessity to sell a property has made It easy to denounce and depre- ciate all other claims and localities. A narrow, illiberaI spirit has created a distrust, and has kept millions of dol lars from mining investments of fate and the industry will suffer until 1t has been removed hy honest men in demonstrating the injustice and fal- sitv."
