THE NILSSON ACT.

The WILSON act is a source of more
tnhappineSS to the Iowa Prohibtionists
than the original PACKAGE decision
which the law WAS designed to over
throw. The United Statescircuit court,
sitting in Kansas, having decided that
the purport of the WILSON act cannot
give validity to laws prohibiting or re-
strlcting the importation and sale of
liquors that were in existence before
its passage, there is great consterna-
ton among the temperance people lest
the supreme court will sustain the de-
cision. In case the decision should be
sustained. as it is most apt to be, the
states will be obliged to revise their
liquor laws in accordance with the In
terstate commerce clause of the consti-
tuition.
The question may thus be briefly
stated anew: The supreme court has
held that no state can prohibit the inl-
portation and sale of liquors in original
packages, because this would be i'm vio-
lation of the exclusive power of congress
toregulate commerce among the several
states. Then congress, following sug-
gestion of the supreme court decision,
passed the WILSON act, delegating to
the states the power vested in con-
gresS, and empowering them to pass
laws prohibiting the importation and
sale of liquors. The validity of this act
is very questionable, and it will have to
be passed upon by the supreme court
before the liquor men are willing to
recognize it.
In the meantime. while this question
awaits final judicial determination, the
importation and sale of liquors is still
beyond control of the police power of
the state. according to the decision rem
dered by the United States circuit court
in Kansas. Thus it would seem that in
attempting to doctor the original pack
age decision congress has only sue
ceeded in making confusion worse con-
founded. The latest decision practi-
cally nulifies the police power of the
state over the traffic in liquors.

Hon. X. u. Hall. Morris, Minn.-Dear Sir:
have just read the article in the Pioneer
Press OF the 10th inst, which says "a pri-
yate snap that did not materialiZe" reflect
ing upon you and Mr.. Lathrop. In SO far as
that accu. a.ion is concerned can eXonorate
you both from any attempted participation
OF fraud upon the state, as neither of you
ever lntlmated any private gains i'll case a
sale was made. l interpreted your strong
preference to my system of machinery
from the thorough knowledge both you
and Mr.. Lathrop got of it by two
days critical inspection OF it when in full
operation, and saw for yourselves what it
did both in regard to quantity and quality Of
Irvine it made from both fax and jute, and
even made your Investigations SO thorough
as to test the Irvine with your own hands
upon the binder set with more than ordinary
tension. TO prove beyond a doubt the quality
of Irvine the machinery made. The attempt
of the writer of the article referred to- to
throw charges of Doodle upon both you and
Mr.. Lathrop. is a dead failure, and it would
be gratifying to me TO be able to say as much
for the last committee that came East TO ne
gotiate for machinery for the state. Yours
respectfully, j. C. ToDD.

through the Press in order to defend their
own actions, which will be an impossibility
to do without perversion of truth. which
cannot be put down, for / stand ready TO
make an affidavit as to the truth to all that l
have said against them and in,yindication of
yourself from any participation of attempted

it can be shaken off. Whether the contract
is annulled or carried out, the attempt or the

Public Opinion Is Turning Against

LONDON, Oct 24.-Pubiic opinion is be
coming very strong in condemnation of the
attitude of the London dock laborers and
equally strong in support of the position as
sumed by the employers. Newspapers
which have heretofore supported the dock-
men in their contentious with the companies
are now denouncing their course in vigorous
articles demanding that the men shall not
make fools of themselves. Several Journals
have plainly pointed out TO the men the Ger
tamty that unless they can find better
grounds than those upon which they now
stand in opposition to their employers. their
struggle. will result in defeat. The griev-
ances they now complain of can by no
means be accepted as justification for =
strike, and should they engage in general
strike thereupon, the public sympathy which
pulled them through on a former memorable
occasion will be wholly lacking.

The Republican Candidate
Shown to Be the Corpora

Some Quotations From the
Records Show Up Mer-
RAMS Position.
When Is That Demanded Pris-
on Investigation to Be
Ordered On?
Correspondence Showing the
InWardneSs Of the Twine
Machine Deal.

Why is it the big Republican organs,
followed by the smaller fry, which yelp
in concert, and tailed up by the Repub-
lican stump orators, have suddenly
dropped their calumnieS concerning
Judge Wilson's railroad record? They
opened the campaign with bawl all
along the line that Thomas Wilson was
railroad attorney and a corporation
sympathizer, but they have suddenly
dropped it. There are two reasons for
this:
First - Because the silly charge
brought out a vigorous defense that
clearly proved that not only was Judge
Wilson's record strongly opposed to
the abuse of corporate power, but that
Gov. Merriam's record was so decidedly
in favor of the corporations, as against
the farmers, that it became tender
subject, and was ordered dropped.
Second - Because the Republicans
found that in attempting to defend the
outrageous extortions of the Mckinley
bill they had their hands so full that
they could not afford to make further
issues.
But the Democrats do not propose to
allow the matter to drop here, and SO
easily. Having the Republicans Oh the
run, they propose to keep up the pur-
suit, nor stop until the line has been
crossed on election day. 1t is being
daily shown on the hustings that Gov.
Merriam opposed all measures to
place on the tax rolls those railroad
lands which were Justly subject TO tax
alton. 1t is being shown that In 1885,
10 m yxyoC m N
the house, he opposed tooth and nail the
bill introduced by Judge James Brown,
of Blue Earth county. 10 place on the
tax rolls the lands of the st. Paul &
Sioux City railroad company, and
finally secured its defeat.
Did not Gov. Merriam own many
acres of that land?
Will Gov. Merriam say now that the
defeat of that bill was not due to his
persistent efforts?
In 1885, when Gov. Merriam was no
member of the legislature. Judge " il
son introduced another bill to the same
effect, and it passed both houses and be-
came a law. There, in q nutshell, is
the record of the two candidates on
the matter of taxing lands which belong
to private individuals and which rail-
roads seek to cover up from taxation.
When the infamous House File 157 was
passed IN 1887, Gov. Merriam was a
member of the house. Did he vote
against the bill? Was his voice ever
raised against the outrage. In his re-
cent speeches he says he was
compelled. as speaker, to sign that
bill under penalty of impeach-
ment. Does he mean to say
he was compelled to sign a forged bill?
Did he use the proper scrutiny when
notorious that the lands exempted from
taxation by that bill were parceled out
as DribeS among members of the legis-
lature. Did Gov. Merriam, under his
oath OF office, ever call attention to this
corruption of the legislature, and en-
deavor to bring the bribe-giyers and
bribe-takerS to justice? 3d.
1t is small wonder the Republicans
have dropped their railroad cry.

THE BUTTON GAME.

A button factory in New Jersey is re-
ported to have raised the wages of its
employees Is per cent under the opera
ton of the MCKINLEY bill, and the in
cident is being paraded in the protection
oratory. 1t might be added, too. that
the agents of the factory are gathering
up all the button makers that come over
the water from the closing of their bust
ness by the effect of this tariff. On the
common kind of pearl buttons. used by
economical people or those of small
means, the MCKINLEY act multiplies
the old tariff by five. That is prohib-
itory. of course, and brings fairness to
the lucky factory owners in New Jer-
sey: but it robs the users of the buttons.
There are but few of these pearl button
works in this country, and there will be
no difficulty in forming a trust. if
one is not already constructed, and
taking entire control of the home
market. A noticeable point in
this button business is that tie
tariff follows the MCKINLEY rule, to
crowd heaviest upon the people of small
means, the labOring classes, and become
lighter on the buyers of better goods.
The buttons of the poorer persons pay
duty of 145 per cent. Fine buttons are
put i'll at So per cent, and the fancy arti-
Gle only 81 per cent. The buttons may
not be very serious matter in them
selves. Poor people can get along with
out buttons. perhaps; but they have as
good a right to have theirs at "a per
cent duty, in place of 145 per cent, as
the richer buyers. 1t is true, Mr.. Nc
KINLEY says that cheap things are
nasty, and the president intimates that
they are not In good form. Protective
tariffs now are for the sleek and pros
porous, and not the cheap people who
have to wolk for their living.
