TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA.

TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA.
The State of Minnesota, to be ap-
propiately represented at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, needs at least
hundred thousand dollars in addi-
ton to the amount at present avail
allie.
The Commission, feeling that the
deep interest manifested throughout
the State should have some public
and formal expression; believing also
taat some better plan for raising this
additional sum, than the one most
favorably considered by them, may
be suggested, have decided to cal!
convention for this two-fold purpose,
to be held in the Halt Of. Representa-
tives at St. Paul, on Thursday morn
ing, August 18th, at 10 o'clock, to
which convention each Qhasaber Of
Commerce, Board Of Trade, City and
Village Council in every city and
town throughout the State is Invited
to send two delegates.
In counties where there are no such
arganized bodies, the Chairman Of the
Board Of County Commissioners is re-
quested to appoint the delegates.
We earnestly desire that the news
papers of the State, always ready to
aid in every move which may prove
of benefit to our commonwealth. will
bring their mighty influence to the
support of the Commissioners in this
matter.
In no way can the Commission as
certain the wishes Of the people e1-
cept through the medium Of the press
or the gathering Of representative
body of citizens.
If with full knowledge of the vast
benefits to be derived from a proper
display of our resources and advan-
tages; if, after being advised as to the
gigantic preparations in contempla-
ton by some Of our sister States, the
people of Minnesota deside that $50,
600 is sufficient with which to exhib-
it and advertise our unequalrd at
fractions as a home for people Of all
classes and conditions, we will under
take to make such an exhibit as the
means at our command will warrant.
But we can not believe that such will
be their verdict.

them is their only remedy, SO they
can market their wheat as they do
hogs and chickens. I believe the
whole grain trade would cooperate
with the farmers. 1t Is a great bur
den in three months to take the
crop and pay for it. In the older
winter wheat states 1t is possible,
| but when obligations are to be met
the grain must be rushed to market,
the prices are lower and the specula-
tive element takes advantage OF the
situation. II farmers would hold
back Is per cent of their crop, it
would be a good thing for them and
the elevators. Really the elevators
are very important factor, and
deserve better treatment than they
receive from the Dakota legislature,
for they furnish the money to move
the CROP"
George A. Pillsbury,-I think. the
millers generally would indorse the
circular SO far as it advises farmers
to hold fIetr wheat. l am not
ESnthorixed speak for onr firm, but
1 think the manager would indorse
this feature of it. If the farmers can
manage to hold their wheat and not
force the market, it is the best thing
they can do, think the advice given
is sensible. Our firm has always be-
lieved in paying a good price for
wheat. The farmers havn't good
storage facilities now, it is true, but
they will improve in this respect.
They can store cheaper than we can,
though, and they would then be In
position to take advantage Of the
market the year round. l think new
crop wheat ought to sell for $1.00 per
bushel, unless something unusual
happens, and don't know what it
can be. There is this about high
prices for wheat that farmers often
overlook, and which must be consid-
cred. 1t will not do to have too high
wheat, for it generally ends in a re-
duetioa of prices because of a a fall
ing off in the consumption of flour.
For instance, we sell a great deal OF
-four in Holland Norway and Sweden.
If wheat is 81 a bushel 1t makes flour
pretty expensive by the time it reach
es those countries. The result is pee
pie econOmise and use rye and buck
wheat, or go without altogether.
Then down goes the price. believe
the general market for everything
will be better if wheat does not go
much over 81 a bushel.

opinion on the same matter to news
paper reporters, and we quote the
following:
]. M. .Hannaford, traffic manager
of the Northern Pacific, said he
thought it would be very good
thing for transportation companies.
There would be a. good many men,
who, like Oliver Dalrymple, the great
wheat raiser, believe that, for q series
of years, the early market is the
best. who would be compelled to sell
to raise money to pay mortgages: He
had no fears that the railroads would
not have all the wheat they could
handle from the very start. And II
the farmers will hold back some O1
their wheat, as planned, then the
transportation companies wonld
be relieved of the immense pressure
usually brought to bear upon them
during the threshing season. As he
understood the plan, it was simply
to hold back enough wheat to keep
the supply a little short Of the de.
mand. This would allow the wheat
to, come slowly into market, and
the transportation companies could
| more easily keep the way cleared. ~
E. Garden, ,:of the Northern Pacific
Elevator Company, said: s.The plan
is notieasible In my opinion; II it were
possible, ! think 1t would be 9 grand
Igood thing It would relieve the
markets and, # done generally would
