MR.. LIND TO BE HEARD FROM.
The Minnesota Member will be in a Posi-
teon to make Himself Useful in
the Present CONGRESS-.

The Sunday papers were full of inter-
esting congressional news from Wash
lngton, and among the names most
prominently mentioned was that of Mr..
Lind of our own Second District. The
cyclone of last fall robbed the house
OF many of its leading Republican
members and SO Mr.. Lind finds himself
easily at che forefront of the majority.
He will therefore secure a place on
some of the NEST important committees
of the house, where his ability and ex-
perience will enable him to do telling
work. With the delegation of his own
state too, all members of which are new,
he will be a great help, and his acquain-
tance and knowledge of congressional
legislation will give him an opportunity
to get through matters for the state
which even man in the majority can.
not always accomplish.
One Of the com nittees to which he
will most likely be assig ned is that on
commerce. The powers of this body have
been enlarged so that now it is one OF the
m ost important under the control of the
speaker. Mr.. Lind was one Of its most
active members in the last congress. and
as thers was only one other Republican
member rs-eleeted, his prospects for
continuing q the committee are very
goott. Both intsrstats and foreign
commeros arc now under It's snperyis-
ion. aad the Second district represents

eve are too far away, We must raise

s'We are too far away, We must raise
our own chicory.''
So they got chicory seeds from Ger
many and put IN a small crop in Michi-
last spring. The farmers made more
money than they made out Of wheat,
1t set them crazy. Everyone wanted
to raise more Of it. Well, this fall the
Detroit factory is doubling it's capacity
and Ill the farmers are getting seed
through the factory and Jerry Rnsk
and preparing to plant chicory next
year.
WHAT'S the result? Why after paying
out to France and Germany over $40
100000 for ch1eory we are finally going
to make it here, at home, and save our
money--keep it in this country.
The history of this industry and how
we got it is like that of dozen other
industries which have come through
this wise Tariff measure. ..::
Last spring I visited Baron Babant's
4O0O-acre chicory farm in Whitewood,
Manitoba, on the Canadian Pacific. He
proposes to supply all Canada with
chicory and send his surplus raw chico
ry over to be manufactured in theUnited
States without paying any duty. His
fall crop is now coming to be manufac-
tured.
= 1t is funny about the price of chicory
too. 1t used to sell for - cents per
pound wholesale. Competition brought
it down to 10 cents, then to 8 cents, then
to 4 cents, and now it is offered who'll
sale at 81 cents. Our retail grocers are
keeping the news from the people and
still selling chicory at IL cts. per pound,
when they conld sell it at S cents,
By'and by, if we get Tariff on raw
chicory. every farmer can raise a sub
stitute which will improve his coffee.
One-half chicory gives delightful flavor
to coffee. Good coffee costs 30 cents
pound. 1t is one of the burdens of our
farmers and mechanics to buy it, for We
all drink coffee. But soon chicory will
be one of our crops and S8, O0O. 600 will
be saved to our country every year.

RLrS SIMPLE VERSION.

Eli Perkins has . very simple and
clear method of stating his ideas, and he
has lately added contribution to tariff
literature, which, while applying to
but one article, can be easily made
use Of in illustrating the effects of SINH.
lar tariff legislation. The story will be
found very interesting by those who
saw dt last fall to ridicule the 'sacorn,"
STRAW and other features of: the Nc
Kinley bill. Tho story is as follows:
I want to tell eur little children q
story abont ohicory. I suppose you
don't know what ohicory is. Well it
is vegetable like parsnir which the
French and Germans are raising, dry.
ing, browning. grinding and using in
stead of coffee. We have been sending
out about $s.000,OOo to Germany every
year'for this little article. 1t tastes like
coffee, is good wholesome food, but 1t
has no nerve stimulant like coffee.
Children can drink chicory as they can
milk. .r
To get to the story: When they were
putting the tariff on different things
last year and got down to ''C'' they
came right on to chicory.
!. ssWhat's chicory? asked Major Nc
Kinley.
No one was able to tell anything
about it except that we paid Europe
$4,000 ,000every year.for what was used.
swell, what shall we do with it? -
asked several Congressman.
''Why, if we can't raise it, said Nc
Kinley, and the people want tive will
let raw chicory come in. free.ibut we
will put Protective Tariff on manufac-
tured chicory. We will try and bring
the manufactures to America if we can t
raise the stuff So theTariff went on
to manufactured chicory.
Suddenly / noticed a great stir among
the chicory importers. "Why this Nc
Kinley bill has raised the Dickens
they said. we cant import ground
chicory any more from France ard Ger
many. We must make it here.''
So they wrote and telegraphed the
foreign chicory manufacturers that they
must hurry up and bring their chicory
factories over here. And sure enough
there was stampede from Europe. and
chiccry factories began to go up in
Jersey City, Hoboken, Williamsburg,
Newark and Brooklyn. Then Philadel-

MILLS FEELS SORE.

That was very intsre sing as well as
amusing answer that Nj. Mills returned
to Speak1rC CrispFwhsns ohszots q second
place on the Ways and Means commit
tee of the House. Mr.. Mills had by the
grace of q former congress been per-
mitted to hold first place on the same
committee and this fact came in very
handy in politely informing Nr. Crisp
that he vas in tho habit Of taking only
the best that the Speaker could afford.
This short bot pointed reply leaves
the speaker in very peculiar position.
Tho plaoe which Mills wants has No
doubt bssn promised 70 Springer, and
not for any particular fitness that 1lli-
nois man may possess over Mills or b.
cause he is NoHhern man. but simply
to pay of debt to which he owes his
present power. Mills, knowing this, is
determined to sulk, and, unless he gets
what he wants We may expect 10 find
the Democratic majority, or rather the
ruling faction, In the house in some
very serrowful straits before tho session
is over. With Mills holding back on
one side, tho Cleveland mon all dis
gruntled and Tom Reed and the Re-
publican minority tripping them up at
every chance. that overwhelming ma
jority will not have have the easy sail
ing that it looked for. Legislation as
result will make very slow progress.

THE SAGE A N

Ignatius Donnelly Elected President Of
h Minnesota Farmers Alliance.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 30.-The committee on
credentials in the farmers convention
took nearly all day to do their work,
not being ready to report until the even
ing session. The afternoon session was
occupied by speeches by Mr.. Ashley, of
Iowa, lecturer of the National Farmers
Alliance; H. L. Loucks, of South Da-
kota, president of the Alliance of that
state and late candidate for governor on
the Independent ticket; Mr.. Donnelly
and Miss Eva Mcdonald.
The committee report, when it was
finally presented, gave seats to 693 dele
gates. The next matter in order was
the reports of officers, but it was moved
to suspend the order and proceed to the
election of a president. The anti-Don-
nelly men wanted more time to encom-
pass his defeat. A viva voce vote was
not conclusive, and a call of the coun-
ties was taken, which resulted in a vote
of 407 to PIG in favor of proceeding to
dispose of the presidency.
Messrs. Donnelly and Halverson were
placed in nomination, and the roll call
that followed showed how completely
the Donnelly spirit predominated. The
ballot gave him $40 votes to 1O5 for Hal
uerson, 6 for Hall and 2 for Owen. Mr..
Donnelly made a short speech of accept
ance and the convention adjourned for
the day,
