According to the Heron Lake News,
"Mr. Eberle, of Window, agent for an
extensive cordage company, says bind
ing Irvine will be sold this year for
about 9 cents per pound-a reduction
of 40 per cent. from last years prices.
This is very gratifying and shows that
the hated Mckinley bill is getting in
its deadly work-on the cordage COM
pany.
Minneapolis Journal: There has
BEEN an advance in farm produce all
along the line over that of year ago.
May wheat sold here March "a, 1880,
at 99a cents; closing price last Satur-
day $lOOS. Oats sold March oath for
23s cents, against SIS cents now, and
corn went at % cents, against 81 cents
now. Potatoes were bringing 20 cents
a year ago and so cents now.
Hokah Chief: Grumbling seems to
be catching. Let one start complaint
and it goes all along down the line and
the last man feels worse than the first.
Let body of men, or the men of a
particular calling, get together and
talk oyer their grievances, and mole
hills grow into mountains. They are
like lot of sick people in hospital,
who talk over their symptoms and re-
solve that they are the sickest lot of
people on earth.
J. A. johnson editor of the St. Peter
Herald, scores the coward and dema-
gogue in the following vigorous Ian
guage: Every demagogue and pro-
fessional otfice-seeker now processes
great attachment for the farmers best
interests. If you don't see what you
want, ask for it; there's plenty in the
cellar is the Pecksnitfian rattle in the
throat of the politician who knows
nothing and cares nothing about the
farmer and his interests beyond secur-
ing his vote at the next election"
Renville Times: The Farmers Al
lance started in with a great flourish,
and purrosed "downing' the country
merchants" by establishing a cooper
alive store at Hector, and fixed the date
for opening at April LIST, 1891. 1t now
transpires that said enterprise has been
postponed until October LIST, 1891.
They probably discovered that mon
ey," not wind" was needed to make
their venture a success, and wisely
concluded to wait until latter harvest"
St. Peter Herald: American pork
is soon apt to find its way into Ger
many without restrictions. Our farm
er friend, Jerry Rusk is on his ear be-
cause of present restrictions and de-
mands that they be removed and as a
consequence President Harrison says
that they must be removed or Ameri-
can ports will be closed absolutely
against all German goods. That kind
of talk suits us. If a foreign country
does not want all of our business or at
least SO much as the people of that
country require then let us stop trad
ing at her stores entirely.
Todd Co. Argus: Many of our ex-
changes express the belief that Don
nelly has killed himself by his actions
in the senate. This is a mistake.
Though the people know him to be a
visionary man unsafe and unreliable
in politics yet when he hobs up in some
new quarter the people will trust him
again only to find that they have leaned
upon a broken reed. Donnelly has
done more damage to the cause in
which he processes to be so deeply in
terested than hundred good men
can repair in two years.
Faribault Republican: What will
the newspapers that have expended
columns in bewailing the wrong to the
poor workingman in his being obliged
to pay more for his dinner pail in con-
sequence of the passage of the McKin-
ley tariff, now say to the statement of
Mr.. Niedrienghaus, an American tin
plate manufacturer, that the foreign
tin plate makers have agreed to sell
the American market all the tin plate
they want without any added cost on
account Of the increased duty. If the
tariff is tax, who pays the taxi In
this case certainly not the owner of the
little tin pail.
Red, White and Blue in Worthing-
ton Globe: Wooden goods are cheap
er although the Mckinley bill Increased
the duty on all kinds of wool and on
all kinds of manufactures of wool, and
next to tin plate the democratic free
traders choose wool and it's products
as the lawful example," of the McKin-
ley bill. Clothing was to increase in
price, and blankets and fannels were
to become luxuries for the rich, all ION
account of the tariff" according to the
Cleveland free-trade prophet. Less
than six months of operation of the
Mckinley bill has proved the falsity
of his predictions. Prizes are not high.
