Sioux City Journal: Things may be
too cheap. Whom the cost gets be-
low the paying point of the toiler;
when the industrious and frugal work
or cannot gain by his labor comfort
able home and the means to rear his
family in respectable and self-re-
speeding manner; when he cannot ,ro
vide for the education of his children
and for his own mental growth, then
things are too cheap. 1t is a cheap
ness that is tremendously costly; for
it is attain ID at the expense of the
manhood and womanhood of the ma
ton. 1t debases ci izenship. It is a
cheapness which a nation with pop
ular government, whose hulwark is
the virtue of the people: can least af-
ford.
Mankato Register: Don't srrrend-
er. Stand by your colors. Great arm
les engaged in behalf of the most
righteous of causes have been repeat
edly defeated, but would not surrender
Their purpose, and finally succeeded.
The Republican party has met defeat
i'll the midst of succe s. Con Sress had
just completed the work of redeeming
the party pledges, bit tn re was no
tim, fer beneficial le5ults to follow.
The enemy took adva 1tage of tn s
condition of things to max, all scr
injurious, misr,prese tltions, b it tn
light will break in due time, and the
wisdom of the republican policy will
manifest itself. There are those with
in or ranl who b ca He al nod an
feel that we should surrender the mag
niticent economic policy adopted by
the republican party. Let all such
stand firm. This is but a per o lical
confusion that means nothing. Results
of recent legislation are what will dem
onstrate the correctness of our posi-
ton. Prime your guns for another
fray, and stop your murmuliny.
Pay that debt! 1t is small one, to
be sure, and apparently not worth a
single thought. Then why not pay it?
Why suffer tho mortified lion of dun?
Why not take that little thorn out of
your finger at once? It will tester if
allowed to remain, and will cause ten
times the trouble. Why not relieve
your conscience of that little load?
You will feel the better for it by so do
ing. You contracted the debt know
ingly and willingly. Did you not mean
to pay it? Certainly you did. Then
why not pay it at once? Every days
delay increases morally the amount of
the obligation. Remember, too, that
your little debt and another mans lit
tie debt, and thousand of other mems
little debts make a little fortune for
your creditor, for they enable him to
pay his larger debts, feed his workmen
or his clerks, and keep his business
moving right along in times like these.
Don't you see how it is? Well. then
balance the account at once, and to-
night the ghost of that debt will not
trouble your dreams.-Ex.
St. Paul Globe: That there will be
a hard fight at the coming meeting of
the Minnesota Farmers Alliance, to
be held in this city Dec. 30, goes with
out saying. The candidacy of the
Sage of Nininger has served to stir up
Alliance circles as nothing else could
have done, and it is safe to say that
there will be upwards of 1000 dole
gates in attendance. The fight on the
part of those opro sed to Mr.. Donnelly
will be made in behalf of practical
farmer, who will undoubtedly be tax
on from the Fifth district. It may be
President R. J. Hall, whose friends
are insisting that in view of the ma
lcious attacks that have been made
upon him, it would only be just and
right to vindicate him by reelection.
Mr.. Hall does not desire the honor
again and may insist upon retiring in
favor of some other farmer. However
this may be, the foes of Donnelly,
Donnellyism and the Great West will
not allow quest ons of locality or any
thing else to divide their votes suf-
ficientlyj to elect the Sage of Min
niger.
