LOCAL MANUFACTURING.

The CHORES series of articles on
local manufacturing has excited great
interest among all classes of our clti-
ZenS, and is generally admitted TO be of
the utmost timeiineSS and Importance.
Its purpose is two fold. One object is
TO show what the city has achieved in
this direction. Its other and greater
object is TO suggest the room there is
for future progress. An impression
has prevailed that factories cannot be
operated here at a profit. There is Ito
truth in this view, but it has been 4
great barrier TO our natural and proper
development as a manufacturing cen
ter. It's explanation is TO be found
in the earlier history of the place.
An attempt was made, 4 long time
age. TO found harvester and pIoW works
in East ST. Paul. The attempts in The
end proved disastrous failures, and
many people lost large sums OF
money in consequence. The GLOBE
does not consider it eXpedient at this
time 10 discuss the reasons why these
enterprises did not succeed. Their
affairs have now been completely wound
up. and those who suffered from them
have ere this charged up their invest
ments to the profit and loss account.
Bat these experiences have made capt.
talists wary of similar ventures. Banks
have heSitated to extend accommodation
to men engaged in them, aud there has
existed popular feeling of distrust
which has been very discouraging. In
point Of fact, more large fortunes in
America have been made ir the manu-
featuring business than in any other
line except railrOading. n OF only is this
true, but here in Our own city such con-
Germs have been and are very prosper
Gus, and would be more so were there
others started which would supplement
and cooperate with them. The GLOBE
has been trying TO prove this. and it be-
lieves that it is doing so. There is no
better work for public newspaper than
the elimination of popular delusions
from IFS readers minds, and it hopes
that what 1t has 10 say on this subject
will receive the attention which its i'm
pOrtance merits. No one who reads
these manufacturing articles will have
reason to regret the time lie gives to
them. They are interesting and yalu-
able.

One of the funniest stories frcmWaSh-

entreaty of Massachusetts shoe manu-

FARMERS AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The national Alliance convention,
now in session at indianapolis, is an i'm
portant gathering Of the farmers of-this
country for a political purpose. The
GLOBE uses the term political advisedly.
for the fact cannot be disguised that.
despite this seasons pienitude youcl-
Safed by Providence and dwelt so low
ingly upon by President HARRISON in
his THANKSGIVING proclamation, the ag-
rieulturiSts still firmly believe that
they have wrongs TO be redressed and
Legislation to be secured in their favor.
These wrongs, of which their speakers
eloquently complain. are directly from
the hands of the Republican party.
Each fact, figure and statistical group
ing so forcibly presented by j. T. TILL
MAN is a rebuke to McKinleyisn. And
McKinleyism is the keynote to the Re-
publican hymn which is to be chanted
IN the coming presidential campaign.
On the ground at indianapolis there
is present strong lobby working for
an Endorsement of the Peoples party.
In fact. the future of that party may be
said to depend upon such encourage
ment as the Farmers Alliance alone
can give. Whether or not the cOnven-
ton will give such an Endorsement re-
mains to be seen. But, in any event,
the proceedings SO far reported are not
all encouraging to Republican hopes in
1892. The tone of the convention is
strongly anti-Republlcan. This senti-
ment will have its influence. even upon
those not disposed to perfect affiIiation
with the Alliance. The drift of argu-
ment is in the direction of Democracy,
simply because Democracy stands for
abolition of the very evils of which the
Alliance orators complain the loudest.
Mr.. TILLMAN's scathi ng review of
the Sl,009. 100000 congress could well
be utilized as Democratic cam
paign document in its entirety. A
portion OF it could consistently be incor-
pOrated as a substantial plank i'm the
Democratic platform. With the single
exception of the financial question.
upon which even the Alliance seems
hOpclessly divided, there are no politi-
cal issues upon which Democracy and
the Alliance could not work together
for the good of the country.
For this reason the GLOBE is justified
i'll saying that each national convention
OF the Farmers Alliance is an important
object lesson in the campaign of educa-
ton destined next year to result in Re
publican confusion. Truth is truth, TO
matter where enunciated. In bringing
the truth home to the people in a man
ner which will insure its dissemination
in so wide field. the Alliance conven-
ton is dealing Republicanism,a as taught
at the shrine OF MCKINLEY, blow
from which it will hardly recover in
time to fill another four years engage
ment in the White house.

DIR. CBRIsTIE's ELECTION.
The chair of theology at the Western

The chair of theology at the Western
university, of Allegheny. was yesterday
filled by the election of Rev. ROBERT
CHRISTIE, ID. d., pastor of the House OF
Hope church, st. Faul. BY a great
many of the residents of this city the
news welcome only in the sense of the
honor conferred upon a most worthy
and able man-will be received with
sorrow. For number of years the tace
of Dr. CHRISTIE has been familiar one
in the House of Hope and in wide circle
of devoted friends. They have learned
to know and love the man for his sterling
worth, rugged integrity of purpose and
scholarly attachments. As popular,
yet earnest, preacher, he won the re-
Spect and admiration of all who sat be-
meath his mlnistrations; as loyal citi-
zen of st. Paul, his influence has
ever been in favor of right, regardless
of expediency. Therefore, with the
congratulations due DR.. CHRISTIE. is
love, mingled with sorrow for his loss
to our community. Carrying with him
the best wishes Of st. Paul, he can look
back upon his labors in our midst with

received from his years Of devotion TO

for this condition of affairs, but he pre-
dicted that they would. 1.-THE study of
the cornfields,' he exclaimed, "has but

What could eapter, more expressive,
more pregnant than this? "The study
of the cornfields has but just begun"
That is true. and it is the Democracy's
mission in the Northwest to see that it
goes on. One seasons work in one COM
monwealth has there spread abroad a
realizing sense of the sin of protection
ism. Without reserve and without apol-
ogy, our party's orators have educated
the people on the question of tariff re-
form. One term of study has placed
the cornfields of Iowa OH the side of
freedom. When their course is ended
as Gov. BOIES has phrased it, the farm
ers everywhere will then be ready to
unitedly demand what is justly their
due The study of the cornfields has
but just begun" Here is the promise
of a harvest worthy of earnest work.

AGOOD EXAMPLE.

The example of Iowa should be an eX-
tremely encouraging one to The Demo
Gratis and tariff refOrmerS of Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Dakota and other states
where the conditions are similar. Let
what may be said about the prohibition
question in Iowa. it is evident that the
state is not in favor of the protective
system. Last year the issue was made
distinctly on McKiuleyism in the elee-
ton of congressman, Gov. BoIEs max
ing an active contest on that line, and
the majority for the Democrats was
larger than at either election of
the Democratic governor, when pro-
hibition was given some place.
The most marked gains for the
Democrats have been made in coun-
ties where there was little concern
about the temperance question, and the
tariff was the issue. So far as the Re
publicanS could effect it, the late cam
paign was waged on national issues and
not state questions. The Republican
platform arraigned the tariff reform
speech made by Gov. BoIES in New
York, and he unflinchingly defended it.
But the tariff reform sentiment is no
stronger in Iowa than in Minnesota. A
persistent adherence to that issue should
be as effective in this state as in Iowa.

TWO MYTHS.

The Chicago Post stands sponsor for a
remarkable story about Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND and Senator GoRMAN. Here is
what it says: During the campaign of
1884 the Democracy needed funds and
Mr.. GORMAN secured 800, 200, for which
there was the most urgent demand.
from ADRIAN S. HEWITT, with the I'M
derstanding that, if MIR. CLEVELAND
should be elected, EDWARD COOPER
should have the English mission. After
the Inauguration, when Mr.. GoRMAN
requested that this promise of his should
be honored, the president refused. The
senator from Maryland thereupOl be-
came alienated from the administration,
opposed its tariff policy. and has been
an anti-CleyelanditC ever since until his
recent alleged conversion This tale is
advanced at this time in explanation of
Mr.. GORMAN's fight at the st. Louis
convention OF 1888 against the free trade
plank which HENRY WATTERsoN
and other CLEVELAND adherentS were
endeavOrlng to insert in the platform,
in order that il might be consistent with
Mr.. CLEvELAND's lannon's message.
Without dlsputing all this at all. the
GLOBE begS leave to repeat another
story which Is at present having consid-
cradle currency. Here it is: After Mr.
CLEVELAND had taken his advanced
position on the tariff question, he had
some misgivings as to its political eX-
pediency. In order to neutralize what
he feared might be its effect OH the
party'S destiny. he drew moderate
declaration on the subject. and, sending
tor Air. GoRMAN, cOnfided it to his keep
ing. with the following request: He
asked that he should go to ST. Louis.
and, without disclosing its authorship.
should see that it was incorporated in
the Dem0cracy's platform of 1888. Mr..
GoRMAN tried to do So but was voted
down because the plank which he adj
vocated was supposed TO be in conflict
with the administrations views. and
because he was not at liberty to let the
contrary be known. Out OF this grew
the popular impression that he was an
anti-CleyelaDdite, and out OF sympathy
with the Democracy's tariff reform doe
trines. To this day his lips have been
sealed on this matter. and Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND, who alone could set him right
with the world, has failed to do SO.
Here are two stories. equally well
vouched for, but suggesting different
differences. According to one. Mr.. COR
MAN quarreled with Mr.. CLEVELAND
over question of patronage. Accord
ing to the other. Mr.. GoRMAN has been
a friend and confidant OF Mr.. CLEVE-
LANDS all along. and. because of his
devotion, is martyr on the altar of
secrecy. where his chieftain inundated
him. The GLOBE ventures to say that
both stories are untrue. They carry on
their face the most palpable evidences
of deliberate fabrication. They are
what are called in sociology Geological
myths-thatiS. tales Invented to account
for historical fact or phenomenon. If
these two great Democratic leaders have
ever been at variance, the reason for it
is nothing so obvious nor SO absurd as
such reports would suggest.

THE WESTERN NEED

Some enthusiastic people are turning
TO Gov. BOIES. Of Iowa. as an eligible
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for president, in case it becomes
necessary TO look about little for
available timber. If it were desirable
to come to the West for the man, Iowa
should be taken into the field of eXplo-
ration. Still. it is probable that polit-
zeal eXpediency will not allow any in
yaSion of the geographical presidents
until 1896. at least. Ii the West can
next year show up in the electoral vote
nice bouquet OF Democratic states, it
will be in condition to insist
upon the candidate later. But when
1t goes into convention and com
pares notes with the East it has
little but hopeful anticipations to pa
rade. 1t is difficult to remember when
any state west Of the Wabash has voted
for Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. On the other hand, the Eastern
man shows that his section has states
enough that have been voting with the
Democrats to about elect a president
with the aid Of the South. They can
give reasonable assurances to fill tt e
electoral table full enough next year
without state from the Northwest OF
beyond The big river, aside from the
South. 1t will be shown that the drift
in the East is toward the Democratic
party. The West needs more Demo
cratic states TO make a strong claim for
the candidate
