Ten. j. ii. Baker, who is pushing
John Lind so hard i'm the Second dis
trlct. is subjected to the most yillainous
newspaper abuse from the organs of
his opponent young candidate i'm the
state. Lind realizes that the low tariff
antl-Mckinley forces united are too
strong for him. and he is consequently
leaving no stone unturned to harass and
disunite the forces of Gen. Baker. Tie
Following letter from the latter will eX-
plain or rather contradict some of the
absurd calumines printed during the
past few days.
To the Editor of the Globe

eoidfaced and Infamous forgeres going the
ROUNDS OF the public press concerning GER
tain alleged speeches of mine on the tariff i'll
1865, as compared with those now deliver
IN $50. They purport to be taken original
ly from the Jasper Herald. l denounce the
alleged utterances imputed to me in 1853 as
INFAMOUS Iorgeries, clean-cut, coined lies
OF the ciumsiest sort. | never used any such
language or gave utteranee to any such ideas
at any time or place. No time or place is
specified when or where so spoke. Then,
as now, was hostile to the doctrines of PRO-
lection, and so said. The whole thihg is a
forgery and a base lie, SO transparent that it
shows falsehood on its face. cause re
duced to such extremities is rotten to the
core. j. e. BAKER
A letter from Mankato says that the
Mankato mills have word from their
Chicago correspondents that owing to
the Mckinley bill the -four merchants of
Holland and Belgium will not buy any
more of the second grade bakers -four
made In this country. This shuts out a
market which has taken over 1000 bar
rels of this grade of flour from the Man
kato mills yearly. So it seems that this
bill not only does not furnish market
for another bushel of wheat, but it
shuts Off q present market. Great is
protection and Mckinley is its prophet.

asked what he had to ssy of it, and re-

letter. but admits he knows such letter was
written. He also knows who wrote it. He
acknowledges to having himself expressed
