DEMOCRATIC CIRCULAR.
Cunning Scheme Whereby Democrats
Hope to Catch Alliance Votes.

Cunning Scheme Whereby Democrats
Hope to Catch Alliance Votes.
The following circular has been sent out
from the headquarters of the Democratic
state central committee in which the Al
lance Democrat combine is clearly set forth,
and strong bid is made for the Alliance
vote under q specious pretext. The follow
ing is the circular il full:
ST.. PAUL, Oct, 1s90.-Dsar Sir: You have
been chosen from among the Democrats of your
town, not only because. of your character and
influence. but as. a Democrat SO deeply imbued
with the principles of our party, and so earnest
in their advocacy that YOU may be relied on to
contribute your aid to its success: Our
at this time enables us to assure you that moth
ing can defeat orr tickets, either state or con-
gressional, except the failure of Democrats to
cure this vote we will win as surely as the sun
rises on Nov. 4. 1t is certain that enough dis
satisfied Republicans will come to us to
insure this. We hear that some Democrats
have become infected with the Alliance move.
LII there are any such in your town, please try
and win them back. In the great tariff fight,
which is the real issue. Democrats and Alliance
men should be one. But the Democrats
we're, the leaders. Mr.. Owen and his
Republicn followers are but recent
Wilson and the Democracy have advocated-for
years. Impress on these Democrats that their
The latter is cunningly working to get
the Democrats to vote for Owen. He only
hopes now to win by a small plurality, and
every Democratic vote for Owen increases his
chances.
We must rely solely on that patriotic devotion
to country and principle which has kept the
Democrats of Minnesota true to their party
during all these years of its minority. Recall
ing the sturdy and magnificent courage with
which the Democrats of our state
have, under all discouragements, stood
by their party, we feel that. now
that success is within our reach. we can call on
them to make the extra effort needed to secure
it. For the sake of the party and it's principles,
we ask you to give somewhat of your time to
working for it. This is the peoples fight. We
have no barrel" and no rich class interests will
be made richer if we win. We
must rely on your unse]fish patriotism
and your sense of duty. We are
proud in the knowledge that call to duty
need not be accompanied with doodle" when
made to a Democrat. We ask you, then, to see
your neighbors, impress them with tho fact that
we will win if they do their duty, and to try and
see that every Democratic voter in your town is
at the polls on election day and casts ballot
for Winston and the entire ticket. Yours for
the right, w. M. CAMPBELL,
2. j. SMALLEY, Chairman.
Secretary.

A PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
One That VIII He Voted on at the Coming
Elect on Explained.

One That VIII He Voted on at the Coming
Elect on Explained.
w. W. Braden, state auditor, has addressed
the following communication to the press
explaining the proposed amendment to the
constitution relating the taxation of rail
roads.
To the Editor:
So many inquiries have been addressed to this
Office regarding the repeal of Chapter IL, Cen
eral Laws of 1887, relating to taxation of rail-
road companies, which repeal is so soon to be
voted for or against. that it may nog be map
propriate to answer these questions through the
columns of the public press. Chapter Ill.
Special Laws of 1888, provides: THAT In con-
sideration af payment on its gross earnings
by the ST. Paul, Saltwater and Taylor's Falls
railroad company it should be exempt from all
other forms of assessment and taxation" This
payment was to be per cent on its gross earn
ings for the first three years, per cent for the
next seven years and thereafter.
Section of this act provided that any com
pany owning or operating, or which hereafter
may own or operate lines of railroad in this
state. might file its acceptance of the provisions
of this law and thus become subject TO 1t. 1t
will be observed that 1T was optional with the
railroad companies to accept or reject the obi
cations of this act. Chap IL. General Laws of
1887. provides that any company owning or
operating, or which might hereafter operate
lines of railroad within this state, which had
not accepted of the law of 1878, should become
liable to pay of its gross earnings, as provided
by said law, thus placing all the roads on
uniform basis.
Chap. 19l of the General Laws OF 1889 provides
for the repeal of the law of 1887, which repeal
is required by Sec. 81. Art of the constitution,
must be submitted to a vote of the people be-
fore it can become operative Ii the vote be
yes. the law of 1887 will be repealed and the
gross earnings of taxation will not apply to the
following roads which have not formally
filed an acceptance of the law of 1873
until they do file such acceptance, viz: The
Winona Southwestern; Duluth, Red Wing y
Southern. and the Duluth & Winnipeg Railroad
companies, all new lines and in process of con-
struction at the present time.
The contention of some people is that gross
earnings under the interstate commerce law
cannot DO collected on, passenger or freight
traffic passing through the state; that taxes can
only be collected on such earnings under the
present laws, within the state. There seems to
DO ground for argument on both sides of this
question. The present answer, however, is that
the companies do pay gross earnings within
the state, and also traffic passing through
the state. In this connection it might be inter
esting to give the amount paid in by the COM
panies and also the increase in payment since
1880.
Amount paid in $780, 1924, $50. 81
Amount paid in 1855. 673, ,3U2. 90
Amount paid In lSSO. 102,oU3. 94
The receipts from state taxes for the year 1889
on basis of ITO mills for state revenue was
$79l, 663. w. w. BRADEN.

PRAisE FUR JEWS,

''There is Jew, said the Rev. DR.. Blank,
as he sat in his study with Jew hater, and
pointed to plaster, cast of Michael Angeles
magnificent head of Moses. Sand there is
another jew" he added, as he pointed to a
painting of the Veronica Christ "And there
are yet other jews he continued, as he
glanced around his walls at the pictures of
the prophets, apostles and sages, from David
and jeremiah to Paul and Peter. "Yes. my
christian brother, these are Jews, and are
they not men who have voiced the highest
thought of the world for ages, whose teach
ing is the guide of our life today. and who
will lead mankind to the end of timer" The
Jew hater had not, taken full account of these
things before hearing his pastors impas-
stoned words, which,, however, set him a.
thinking.-New York Sun.

SPEAKER REED IN ST. PAUL TONIGHT.

Two Rousing Mass Meetings. Reception
and Parade of the Flambeau Club.
This will be the banner night of the Re
publican campaign in st. Paul, for arrange
ments have been made for two grand mass
meetings, at which the principal speaker
will be Hon. Thomas Reed, of Maine,
speaker of the national house of representa-
tives. Mr.. Reed will arrive in st. Paul at 2
o'clock this afternoon and will be taken to
the Hotel Ryan by the reception committee,
where rooms have been secured for his use
during his stay in the city. 1t is expected
that Gov. Merriam, who was at Austin last
evening, will arrive in the city at or about
the same time as Mr.. Reed, who comes here
from Moline. Ill. Gov. Merriam will go to
the hotel, and after welcoming the dis
tinguished guest to the city, the two with
few invited guests will take carriages to Gov.
Merriam's residence, where they will take
dinner. From to o'clock Mr.. Reed will be
rendered a reception at the Hotel Ryan,
where all who desire can have the privilege
of meeting the great Republican leader.
The same lack of formality will be OBJ
served at the evening meetings as at tho re-
ception. In order to accommodate the
crowds who will want to hear Mr.. Reed, both

This is the last opportunity for the un-
registered voter to see that his name is in
cluded in the poll lists, and thus entitle him
to cast his ballot on Tuesday next. By the
terms of the law the judges of election will
be on duty at the several precincts from
noon until o'clock this evening, and like
other good citizens, will do all in their
power to expedite the registration and make
it as full and complete as possible. One of
the judges called attention yesterday to the
very important point that while they will do
their utmost to get out the certificates of
removal, the voter himself should be on
hand early and secure his certificate in
time to present 1t at the proper
voting precinct-the one in which he actu-
ally resides. The judges at each polling
place will have more business on hand than
they can we'll attend to under the most IA
vorable conditions, and they will be actu-
ally "swamped" if voters wait until or 8
o'clock this evening, before attending to
their registration. Under the circum-
stances, they earnestly advise every
voter to be at his polling place by noon, or
as soon thereafter as possible, in order that
the Acknowledgement of even one citizen
may be prevented.
