Frost and Snow.

Minneapolis Market Record The
frost last week in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas that was supposed to have done a
great amount of damage, to many lat
crops of corn, potatoes, etc, did very
much less harm than had been expected.
The corn was we'll out Of the way of frost
injury, and potatoes were generally So.
Some garden truck was killed and sorg-
hum patches burt, but important field
crops were too near general maturity to
receive especial harm. Late corn fodder
and some fields of mlllet suffered. A
stiff breeze in many sections kept Off
frost.
The snow storm did some damage, as
it melted on the wheat IN shock. but was
less serious than the effect of it upon
prices of grain would seem to indicate.
1t was no worse than RAIN perhaps. Still
considerable No. l wheat was made no
grade. and there was a general letting
down of quality all around, with more or
less sprouting and other evils of more
or less serious character on account of it.

the SOLDERING effects Of power at such
times have soon suppressed the ebulll-
tions OF lnexperience newly clothed with
authority.
Mr.. President, I believe that if from
some unsupposable cause the entire
government OF the United States were to
devolve upon the farmers Of our country
tomorrow the sound sense SO often &C.
credited to them would quickly over
come the faults OF inexperience. The
men of strength aud judgment among
them would come to the front, and I
dare say, very soon they would manage
the affairs of the nation quite as justly
and not whit less lntelligently than
now is done.
Where will better record of good
government be found than in the state
of Connecticut (to refer to no other WHOSE
legislature is always made up largely OF
farmers?
This class and part of the American
people, almost the fountain source of tlfe
sobriety and morality, steadiDess, and
strength of the national social fabric,
frugal, industrious, self-rellant, is not to
be feared but trusted. From that class
come, in large measure, the brains and
the vigor in each department of business
and in the professions. Your cities are
full of ia, mers' sons. Make a tally of
the successful men of today, and see if
the Rreater part of them did not begin
life on the farm.
OF one thing I am sure, and that is,
that they are too much 1.-The people, to
demand or desire class power or class
legislation. Once assured of fair con-
sideration for themselves, to all other
classes fair consideration they will cor
9lally extend.

EN-Gov. Ordway's Failing Health.

Sioux Falls Press. Word from Wash
ington is to the effect that Ex-Governor
N. G. Ordway is a physical wreck. Since
his return to the national capital from
his efforts to become United States
senator for North Dakota he has not
seen we'll day, and during the greater
part Of the time he has been confined to
his bed, although he is now able to drive
out occasionally. His strong physique
has shrunken and dwindled, and a part
Of his b dy is palsled. Whatever may
have been the enmitles which he in
spired during the occupancy of the
gubernatorial chair of the territory of
Dakota, there is no one in this common
wealth who will not regret to hear that
such splendid physical specimen as he
should now be almost helpless.

COL. BENToN's LETTER.
FARGO, n. D., Sept. T.. 1890.
Hon. Nj. n. johnson. Lal1ota, \. D.
DEAR SIR: I believe that the issues in
volved in the present campaign are of
vital Importance to the people Of North
Dakota and the issue that is of the great
est interest to every citizen. especially
to every agriculturalist is the tariff. In
The Republican Of August 18th, you are
reported as having sad:
Il stand squarely On the PLATFORM
This platform reaifirms the tariff decla-
ration of the republican national con-
vention Of 1888. 1t also endorses the
action of the republican members of both
Houses of Congress in the revision of the
tariff, which means an endorsement of
the Mckinley bill, since the only definite
action in regard to the tariff up to the
date OF your convention was the passage
of that bill by the House OF Representa-
tlves. I take issue with these views, and
claim that the tariff is manly chargeable
with the eXorbitantly high price of nearly
everything North Dakota has to buy,
while it does not increase the price of
our chief product at all.
In the Grand Forks Plaindealer you
are reported as having said:
He (Benton) has only to intimate that
he wants to meet me in JOINT discussion
and shall be ready to accommodate him
in any way he likes, and he may name
all the conditions, too
II you are still of that opinion I will
ask our committee to appoint meetings
at Grand Forks, Fargo, Casselton. Valley
City, jamestown, Bismarck, Mandan,
Dickinson, Lisbon, Wahpeton, Ellen
dale, Hillsboro, Grafton, and Larimore;
or will meet you at Grand Forks at an
early date you may fix, and arrange for
such meetings at times that may be
agreeable; and at those meetings will dis
cuss with you 1.-The Tariff Question and
how to Remedy it"-you to have one
hour and allow me to follow with the
same time; or I open with twenty min
utes, you to then have an hour, and I
close with forty minutes.
1 understand you are invited by the
Agricultural society to be at Wahpeton
on the 18th of this month. I shall also
be there. If you accept my proposition,
I will meet you on the evening of that
day and have the discussion for Wahpe-
ton at that time.
Please reply at YOUR earliest con-
venience. [ am sir.
Very Respectfully Yours,
JOHN D. BENTON.

FRIENDLY ADVICE IN ORDER.

The news from Central America is dis
heartening. II the war between Salvador ana
Guatemala continues it cannot be confined
TO those states 1t is inevitable that Costa
Rica and Nicaragua must take sides with
the former, and Honduras with the latter.
and there can be little doubt that in the
event of such general war between those
states Mexico will seize the favorable op-
portunity for pressing her claims against
Guatemala, and II they are not acceded to
that she will strike the latter in the rear
and thus become involved in the general
melee.
All Of the Central American states are in
. distressed condition financially, even
with peace prevailing within their borders.
None of them can afford to go to war.
Mexico, though enjoying unusual quiet
and stability, and embarked upon a career
OF unwonted prosperity, would suffer a
serious setback by undertaking military
operations OF any considerable extent, and
this would be felt in the financial circles of
the United States. whence the means for
carrying on many of Mexico's heaviest en-
terprises have been drawn.
In view Of this country's position as q

wise b, since the people are obliged TO buy
these dollars with their own money before
they get into circulation. In support of
this position against an objection of the
Philadelphia Prem. the Post quotes Pro-
lessor Taussig. OF Harvard. in the May
number Of the Quarterly journal Of Eco
Monies. who held that disembo yelling the
government. m merely makes the silver take
the place of another kind of money-gold.
These are generally regarded as high
authorities, and 1t may appear presumptu-
Gus 70 controvert their arguments. But II
the silver bill does not mean something
different from what 1t conveys TO the or
binary mind by its language. it pro-
vides for the purchase OF 4, 10000 ounces
of silver monthly, to be paid for by certif-
Gates. which. as soon as issued, become a
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and are redeemabie in lawful money.
1t is not apparent that they need to be
bought by anybody with other money, or
in any way converted into other money in
order to enter into the money circulation
of the country for the purchase of COM
modities or the payment of duty, including
customs dues.
The Post and Professor Taussig to the
contrary notwithstanding. men of ordinary
understanding must be excused for being
puzzled to understand why these certid-
Gates, thus issued and endowed with the
legal tender quality. do not to the extent
of their face value increase the money cir

ing gold or interfering with any OF its func-
