Railroad Development.
The history of railroads is the
most modern OF history. Men are
yet living, and not at an advanced
age, who can distinctly remember
when the first railroad train in the
United States began to run. What
q vast improvement there has been
from the Rocket of George
Stephenson and the small coaches
attached, to the ten-wheeler "Mogul'
engine, speeding along with it's train
OF steam heated, electric lighted vesti-
bule Pullmans, containing library.
barber shop, bath rooms, with every
comfort and convenience to be
found in the finest hotels. Then look
at the great railway systems en-
bracing thousands of miles of road.
and covering a territorywhich would
make a respectable kingdom in the
Old World. Pre-eminent among these

To Twine Purchasers for the Season
| Of 1891.
In response to many letters of in
quiry on Irvine, we desire to say that
arrangements will be made to carry
a full line OF Manila, Hemp, and
Jute Irvine for the alliances. Your
Business Agency will have the goods
here at the Twin cities and it is ex-
pected it will be able to so arrange
the price that you can buy early and
receive rebate if there should be a
drop in prices later in the season.
The bankers Of the country pro-
test against Senator Stanford's bill
to make money plentiful on the
ground that it will ruin the bankers.
What OF that? There are few hun
dred bankers in the country, but over
65, 100000 of other people, and as
long as money is scare the bankers
can Cypress and plumber the people
at pleasure. The Free Press favors
Senator Stanford g monetary scheme
on the ground that without cheap
and abundant money the people of
the country will be ruined. The
bankers confess, by this argument,
that their trade flourishes only at
the expense and distress of the peo-
pie generally. This is fat confess
sion that their business is a source of
disaster to the people, and if they
cannot flourish at the expense of the
people, let them go to the wall. The
pirate, on the same grounds, could
complain that the enforcement of the
law broke up his business, and there
lore he protested against the law
and it's enforcement. But the pir-
ate's protest does not avail much,
and neither will the banker's.-Na-
tional Free Press.
The Farmers Alliance has seven
members in the Oklahoma legisla-
ture. They have elected an Alliance
man for president of the the upper
house, and another speaker of the
lower house.
At the last moment, before going
to press, the clouds again darby
lower over the financial affairs. Wall
street cannot steady itself. No, it
never will be until the nation has
been passed through a strainer-and
woe unto those who get caught in
the treadmill. The end is not yet.
