THE BANE OF BUSINESS.
Effects of Speculative Congressional Act
on Commerce.

EucctS OF speculative congressional Acu
on Commerce.
In anticipation of the passage of the
Mckinley bill, manufactures abroad
were immensely stimulated, as were
imports to this country for the last six
months of grace. The result was that
enormous quantities of imported goods
are held in bond in New York, and fair
ly overshadow the manufacturing inter
ests of this country, being in the nature
of overproduction and resting as a mem
ace to the trade. The effect is disas-
trous to labor, while not relieving in
any manner the consumer. Failures in
manufactures are resulting and must
result therefrom, and for some time the
country must stagger under the abnor-
NAL condition of affairs precipitated by
tariff tinkering. AS to the stupendous
mountain of goods in store, the chances
are that ultimately much will have to
be sold at sacrifice, and while this
will keep home fabrics out of the mar
ket it will also lend speculative feel,
| ing to the market which can never be
looked on as healthful.
The lesson taught is that legislated
business is the unsoundest kind of com.
merce. 1t is like dosing a man with
medicines instead of letting him eat his
daily bread. Speculative Congressional
acts have been the bane of business fol
many years, and no wonder can exist
that panics threaten and that failures
are getting to be a standard annual
crop. Nothing but evil can possibly
follow the acts of Congress which have
been promulgated under pressure of the
party which is backed and nourished by
the spectators of New York and the
monopolists of the whole country

COMPLEXION OF THE SENATE.
The Disastrous Results of the Present
Administration.

The Disastrous Results of the Present
Administration.
The United States Senate is now DO
litically divided into fifty-one Repub-
icans and thirty-seven Democrats, a
Republican majority of fourteen, a
very comfortable majority according to
the figures. But some important
changes are at hand. The Democrats
will elect, in place of the Republican
incumbents, Senators from New York,
Wisconsin and Illinois, with the strong
probability of one from New Hamp-
shire. Kansas and South Dakota are
in doubt, with the prospect of a
Farmers Alliance man from the former
State. Some of the Legislatures elect
ed in the Presidential year will have
the duty of electing twentyfour United
States Senators. OF these, Delaware,
Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia may be safely
counted upon for the Democrats, and
the Republicans will probably have
Maine, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Vermont The doubtful States,
now represented by Republicans, are
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
Michigan, New York, Rhode Island
and Wisconsin. The Democratic
prospects in those States are very
bright at present, and should there be
another tidal wave in 1892, it may be
regarded as certain that the next
Democratic President will be greeted
by a Congress Democratic in both
branches.
This is glorious prospect for the
party OF the people. and it may be re-
allied by earnest and persistent work
and thorough organization in every
district throughout the country. The
result of the late election shows con-
clusively that there is no Republican
stronghold which may be called unas-
sailable. The American people have a
way of their own to overturn the most
powerful political bulwarks, when they
come to the understanding that their
servants are unfaithful to them. The
Republican party has proved such a
disastrous failure during this admins
tratlon and Congress, that it is univer-
sally condemned. The magnificent re-
suits of Mr.. Cleveland's wise and pa
triotic administration are being more
generally understood by the contrast
presented by his successor. The infamy
d the present Congress has also had
considerable influence In discrediting

A Farmer Who Didn't Intend to
Lose His Change.
1t was about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Seed Farmer were in a Seventh
street dry goods house making a
few purchases. After fumbling
over silks and satins and other ex-
pensive goods the pair went to the
calico counter, where ten yards of
cheap calico were bought. The
clerk said ''That will be 50 cents;;''
so MIR. Farmer went down into his
pocket to his sock, as it were, and
hauled up an old pocketbook the
size of the fashionable hand bags
carried by ladies. From the
depths of its greasy recesses he
produced IS cents.
'sCan't let it go for that, can
ye?" said he.
The girl said that she could not,
SO down he went in the depths of
the pocketbook again. This time
he hauled out nice, new V and
gave it to the clerk. She put it
in the cash ball and pulled it up to
the railway. Away went the ball
and away went Mr.. Farmer with
''lll he gol swigged if I be taking
the papers and don't know your
bunko game" The next minute
the store was in roar as the hay
seed tumbled over people and
stools and sent bargain counters to
the floor in his wild chase after the
money ball. At last in turning a
corner his feet got tangled and
and down he went to the dust.
Rising to his feet he saw balls COM
ing from every direction, and was
trying to stop them with his UNI
brella. A floor walker got hold of
the man and ascertained what he
was about, after which he pacifed
him and gave him back his change.
AS he left the store H.. Seed
Farmer said to his wife, ''Hypatia,

THERE is considerable discussion as
TO whether the Worlds Fair should be
open on Sunday or not. The American
Sabbath Union appeared recently be-
fore the commissioners and urged the
closing OF the building on that day.
This request will be strongly endorsed
by public sentiment generally. Six
days in the week are sufficient for the
exhibition and Sunday should be OBJ
served on the fair grounds as we'll as
elsewhere. The fact that the exposi-
tion is d national affair should make
the duty OF this observance all the
more binding.-&. Cloud Journal Press.

If you know of a politician con
the fence" now is a good time to
knock him off. If undisturbed.
fence riding becomes confirmed
habit.
The rail straddler is a, first
cousin to the man who ''does not
care to express his opinion, -
or if he does express an al
legged opinion, begs you not to
give it publicity for fear that it
may offend the German, Irish Or
Scandinavian vote. - %
Once in long time the man on
the fence climbs down just in time
to capture some good fat office,
that in trying to escape it's pur-
suers inadvertently approaches too
near. Whenever this occurs
civilization is disgraced, angels
weep and mugwumps dance for
joy. III.
Fighters and workers, with the
courage to express an opinion not
feather tipped with desire for per-
sonal political honors are needed

Yes, it's right. This $4,000 is
not expended with view to MAX
ing the individual farmer a better
farmer and adding to his individ-
ual wealth, SO much as with a view
to a better development of the
agricultural resources of the State.
1t is the province of the farmers
institute to contribute to better
understanding Of the adaptability
of different varieties of grain and
breeds of stock to our soil and
climate. It is much more consist
ent for the State on the score OF
the development of natural re-
sources to conduct these institutes
than it is for the State to spend 10
or 20 times as much in the differ
ent professional schools it sup
ports. AS long as the State sees
fit to conduct high schools and
universities and provide the facili.
ties for all higher education it is
justified in educating the people in
the industrial arts. The profes.
sions have had more than their
share of the funds appropriated
for education. Minneapolis Joa1r.
