|. Paul DisE atch interview

St. Paul Dispatch interview.
Fresh from the fields of his active
legislative duties at Washington, Hon.
John Lind, the brilliant, able and en-
ergetic young congressman from the
second district, arrived in St. Paul this
morning. Although somewhat fatigued
from his arduous duties during a con-
tinual attendance of ten months at
the national capital, Mr.. Lind is prepar-
ed to at once enter the fray, and his
ringing eioquence and convincing log
ic will soon be heard in every county
of his district, which is justly proud
of the record which her favorite son
has made during his career in public
life. At republican headquarters this
morning the congressman was sur
rounded by many admiring friends
from various parts of the state, for
John Lind's popularity is not confined
within the boundries of the Second
district.
"The recent session of congress. -
said MIR. Lind accomplished more
real work than any session within the
last decade. Although the filibuster-
ing tatics which were early inaugurated
and persistently followed during the
session by the democrats prevented us
from passing other important meas
ures, | am happy to say their schemes
were frustrated, and the first republi-
can house in several years has made
record for which its members will
need make no apology. The silver
Legislation enacted by the last con-
gress will, in my judgement. and in
fact, already has, worked an inculcula-
BILE benefit to the farmers of the
Northwest. Our medium of exchane e
will be increased between $5,OOO.OOO,
and $6,OOO.OOO, and the increase in the
price of bullion, of course, cannot fail
to be productive of good results to all
the laboring and agricultural classes"
"What position will you take on the
Mckinley bill, Mr. Linda"
"Why, [ have already taken posi-
ton. While l am free to say that it
is not exactly such a bill as 1 or other
of the Minnesota delegation would
have drawn up, it is far better meas
ure than the law it supersedes. 1t is,
as you are well aware, next to impossi-
BILE to frame tariff bill that will meet
the approval of all sections of our
country. The Minnesota delegation
did all in its power toward securing a
proper adjustment of the tariff, and
although we did not succeed in every
effort, we were not inclined to cry, 4
won't play because 1 cannot have
things my own way l shall have no
apologies to make to my constituents
on our position on the tariff question.
The anticipation bill would have pass
ed the house, as well as many other
beneficial measures, but were prevent
ed by democratic filibustering."
MIR. Lind did not desire to talk con-
corning his own course during the last
session. He succeeded in securing a
rebate on bagging material, which will
prove of great advantage to every
farmer and miller in the state, besides
| several other important measures, in
Guiding the relief to settlers on the
railroad lands in Brown and Redwood
counties. When asked about the out
look in his district, he said: 81 do not
apprehend anything serious, when ]
have to contend with Gen. Baker and
Lawyer Erwin as leading the opposi-
ton"
