Many similar cases might be men
toned but it would make this too
long; but as you are all now in al
lance with the Farmers Alliance,
which claims that their purposes are
identical with yours, though it
wants cheap labor with dear products,
it won't harm you to know how a
double-tongued free trade Senator
from Alabama puts the question. He
says: "Protection is bad because it
increases the cost of farm labor"
That is the farmers view of the ques-
tion. High prices for farm products
with cheap labor to produce them, is
the Alliance view of the matter. Pro-
lection which gives or secures labor to
many thousands of workmen is bad
for the farmers because it keeps the
price of farm laborers as we'll as 9TH
er labOrers above the starvation wa
ges in England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales. ~ B.

1T begins to look as though Italy is
going to evince considerable spunk
over the massacre of the Italians in
the New Orleans prison..a few days ago.
The dispatches state that the Italian
Minister at Washington has been
recalled. This procedure has tinkle
of war about it, but nothing definite
concerning the intentions of the Ital-
ian government has been ascertained,
though the steps taken indicate a
seVering of friendly relations. Cable
report that at Florence,
Italy, eighteen Americans have been
thrown into prison as retaliation for
the lynching of the members of the
gang at New Orleans. Owing to the
fact the investigation of the new Or
leans affair is not yet completed, it
would seem that King Humbert is a
little hasty. There is little rea-
son to believe that war will
grow out of this squall, some
of the stronger European powers
eSpauses Italy'S cause. No doubt ne
gotiations between the State depart
ments Of the respective countries will
begin in earnest soon. When time
has given the hot-headed Italians
chance to consider their impetuous
actions, they will probably regret their
haste. In the meantime America is
not to be ratified" by any Italian
bluff, either at home or abroad.

INTEREST AND USURY.
Editor Lamphere, of ALoorlead, Vigor-

Editor Lamphere, of Moorhead, Sigor-
ously Attacks Pending Legislation.
MooRHEAD, Mimi, April MIR.
George N. Lamphere has published a
four-column article in his Daily News,
entitled "Interest and Usury, in which
he attacks the usury bill pending in the
Minnesota legislature. He furnishes
data to prove that twelve states have
practically adopted the principle that
borrower and loaner should arrange
their own rates of interest, while in
other states the legal contract rates are
as high as 10 and even II per cent. Mr..
Lamphere believes that if the pending
usury bill becomes law, farmers will be
unable to borrow money on chattels or
lands, and already. he says, farmers in
Northwestern Minnesota who need small
sums to carry them over their Spring
work. are unable to secure loans because
the pending usury legislation has driven
all ready money out of reach.

wait until we returned, so as to have some
thing interesting to write about.
Fifty of the Hardin girls, accompanied

safely reached our destination. Having
waited fifteen minutes at the union depot
we proceeded to 2122 Olive street, where
Miss Duncan's mother keeps a private
boarding house. She was not expecting US,
so imagine her surprise when fifty girls
came running in upon her.
After resting awhile we started to the
