Farm Stock and Home: The follow
ing is an extract from letter written
by Richard T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins
University, to correspondent in Min
nesota. Prof. Ely's words deserve the
profound consideration of all industri-
alists in the land, for he is one of their
ablest and most brilliant friends.
There is vague but very general
feeling, l find, that the Farmers ALI
ance is opposed to expenditures for the
higher education. If you have any in
fuence I hope you will urge upon the
order a broad and liberal policy. Do
the farmers want the highest education
in the country to become identified
with plutocracy, or do they want it to
be democratic in character! It seems
to me that in the past one great diff
Guilty against which the masses have
been obliged to contend has been the
Identification of the intrests of higher
education with those of wealth, and if
the farmers of the country wish to con-
tinue this state of things, and antagon-
ize the brains of the country, they can
do nothing better than to starve the
State Universities in the West. If, how
ever, they wish to draw to themselves
all that is best in our civilization, let
them sustain literally all popular edu-
cational institutions. earnestly hope
they will not pursue in this matter a
shortsighted and niggardly policy. /
am thoroughly convinced that there is
no money spent by the farmer which
yields, dollar for dollar, q larger return
than that part of his taxes which goes
to sustain the State Universities. The
better the State Universities the better
will be all the lower schools, even in.

What the Republican Party has Done.

The record of the legislation on
which the republican party will go to
the country in 1892, for it's Legislative
responsibility, so far as the coming
campaign is concerned, is ended. It
has redeemed the pledges it made in
the platform of 1888, to protect Amer
lean industries, to promote American
shipping, to create navy, to break up
the oppression of American citizens by
trusts and land grant corporations, to
grant home rule to deserving territor-
les, to promote morality and temper
ance, to provide for dependent war
veterans, and to authorize increased
recognition for silver currency. And
here, in what it has not done, it is en-
titled to the grateful recognition of the
country. 1t has stood like stone wall
between our business interests and
wild and more or less corrupt financial
legislation, by which it was sought to
depreciate the currency of the people
for the profit of the few.
On this record the Republican par
ty can afford to appeal confidently to
the thoughtful common sense of the
American peop,e.-Inter Ocean.

NEWSPAPER MUTATIONS.

Norman County Index: tits mat
ter of fact that prices on almost every
conceivable article that a farmer has
to buy has declined since the new tar
if law went into effect. This is not
politics. This is dollars and cents. No
man in this section was pleased with
the Mckinley bill, but the fact is we
are now buying almost everything
cheaper than MISUNDERSTANDING
the campaign orators who predicted to
the contrary.
Northfield News: It has been phil
osophically and yet practically figured
out by some one that out of every so
paid to a man who commands high
pay, 81 is for what he does and the
other 50 for what he knows. 1t is
knowing how that costs, and that is
valuable. The number of hours man
works is a consideration of minor i'm
portance when salaries are paid for,
and the fewer the men are who have
the natural ability to learn how, the
higher the figures go.
A bill has been introduced into the
Minnesota legislature that should he
passed without debate or opposition.
1t provided for paying the years taxes
in two installments, the first on or be-
fore April l, the second on or before
Oct. l. This manner of tax paying
has been in vogue in several States for
many years, and is so popular and
helpful that the tax payers of those
States could not be induced to return
to the old way. Such measure would
be a great relief to Minnesota tax
payers, therefore it is difficult to see
why any legislator can Oppose it.
Farm, Stock & Home.
Huchison Leader: The house sys-
enatically squelches all kinds of tenn
perance legislation. Submission of
a prohibition amendment was first de-
feated and then the bill turning license
money into county treasures went
down. We are of the opinion that pro-
hibition would carry in Minnesota if
the people were to have chance at it,
and the other bill was strong temper
ance measure. Not many towns would
vote for liscence if the money we're not
to go into the village treasury. There
is no doubt that good many people
favor icence for revenue only.
Many have the impression that be-
cause England is represented to be a
free trade country, she does not levy a
tax on foreign imports. On the con-
trary she has the highest tariff in the
world, and has collected in a single
year upward of 100000 more on
American products exported to Eng
land than this country collected in
tariff duties on English imports. 1t
is fact that, comparatively to pop
Il lation, more revenue is collected at
English custom houses than at those of
any other country in the world. The
English tariff, however, is a revenue,
and not protective tariff. 1t is levied
upon those articles of foreign produc-
ton from which the most revenue can
be realized, with the greatest compar-
alive ease of collection, and without
reference to the interests of manufac-
turers, whose enjoyment of low rates
of interest and cheap labor render
them independent of foreign COMPETE
tion.-Faribault Republican.

A New York firm applied to Abra-
ham Lincoln some years before he be-
came president, as to the financial
standing of one of his neighbors. Mr..
Lincoln replied as follows:
Yours of the 10th inst. received. I
am we'll acquainted with Mr.. -,
and know his circumstances. First of
all, he has a wife and baby; together
they ought to be worth $4,000 to any
man. Secondly, he has an Office in
which there is table worth 81 so, and
three chairs worth, say 81. Last of all
there is in one corner a large rat-hole
which will bear looking into.
Respectfully yours,
A. LINCOLN.

Congressman Lind is thus reported
in two recent interviews, one in St..
Paul paper the other in the New Ulm
Review:
Do look for Republican victory in
1922 Certainly l do. There was
good deal of personal feeling and don't
care feeling in the last campaign, and
men who were sore at some of their
party leaders paid off their grudges.
The Republican meeting at Minneap-
oils showed something of the good
feeling prevailing in the Republican
party at the present time, and in '92
all will be pulling together for victory.
think in time the work of the last
congress will be appreciated. Of course
blunders were made, but everybody
makes mistakes and it is human to err
occasionally. On the whole I think
the legislation of that body was extern
sive and efficient. As to the reciproci-
ty act, it is just as popular with the
business men of the east as it is in the
west, and 1 am confident it will prove
to be big thing for the country. If
it is not taken advantage of, it will Ger
tainly not be the fault of the govern
ment.
Judging by the resolutions adopted
at the league convention at Minneap-
oils last week, the Republican party
in this state has learned something.
Instead of a meaningless and evasive
"straddle" on the tariff issue, the con-
vention expressed itself in unmistak-
able terms, as follows:
We re-affirm our belief in the doc
trine of protection to American indus
tries, American labor and American
homes. We also believe in such re-
ciprocal trade with the nations of
America as will enlarge the markets
for the products of our farms and
manufactures without increasing the
competition which tends to lesson wag-
es and degrade our labor.
We favor such financial legislation
based on the policy suggested by the
late secretary of the treasury, as shall
maintain at least the present rate of
increase of the circulating medium
and tend toward an international agree
ment which will fix a standard ratio of
value between the money metals, gold
and silver.
We reaffirm our belief in and devo-
ton to the supreme and sovereign
right of every lawful citizen, rich or
poor, native or foreign born, white OF
black, to cast one free ballot in public
elections and have that ballot duly
counted.

It is claimed that the State is being
worked by parties who are raising
gray wolves for the bounty. State
Treasurer Bobleter stated on Friday
that on August l last he turned over
to the State Auditor $l2,893 wolf
bounties; which left on hand S,771.
Since that date the wolf bounties have
increased to $4,000, and as bulk of
the vouchers come in during the moths
of may, June and July, Col. Bobleter
feels sure that by August of this year
the state will be called upon to pay
nearly $25, 600 for killing wolves.

The sensation of the past week was
the popular uprising at New Orleans
last Saturday. Led by prominent
lawyer and openly abetted by the may
or and others, the crowd broke into the
city Jail and shot down eleven Italians
charge with .copspiring to assassinate
the late chief of police Hennessy. The
populace was exasperated by failure
to convict three of the accused, the
jury in the case being accused of &C
cepting brides. The affair is deplora-
bic, but will have tendency to dis
courage secret assassination.

Redwood Gazette.
THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1891.

A bill is introduced in the legisla-
ture to pay expenses of contesting
members, S5,796.6l being asked for,
of which only Sl,s96.6l is for actual
expense while $3.50 is attorneys fees
most of it going to VIM. Erwin and
Cyrus Wellington. The Legislature
should shut down on making fat jobs
for attorneys at the expense of the
state. A man intelligent enough to go
to the Legislature ought to be able to
present the merits of his own case in
an election contest.

ford had an income of q million dollars

The Midway News is severe on
straight tickets, so-called. Paradis and
Heatwole, of the Ncwses at Midway
and Northfeld, ought to get together
and compare views on this question of
loyalty to party. The latter thinks that
disloyalty to party nominations is what
killed SO many republican candidates
last fall. Here is what the Midway
man says about party straightness:
There are three classes who vote
straight tickets; the men who are in
politics for what there is in it, the men
who were dropped into a certain party
at birth as a calf is dropped with spots
on him, and the fools that don't know
enough to pick out ticket of their
own.
The Department of Agriculture pre-
diets coming scarcity in meat. ''The
natural increase of herds" says Stat
istician Dodge, "has been offset by the
unusual number of cattle marketed
during the closing months of 1890,
mainly on account of the small corn
crop and threatened scarcity of animal
food, and also by heavy reduction of
range cattle on the Pacific coast. So
heavy has this movement been that
there are indications of scarcity of stock
for fattening for next year, and de-
mand is already felt for young cattle to
he prepared for next years market"
Ex-Speaker Reed, in the course of a
few remarks recently made at a ban
quet, said: Il will challenge the world
to point to the equal of the Fifty-frst
congress for the great good it has done.
We have done more than pass great
measures. We have shown to the
people of this country that it is posi-
BILE to have responsible government.
What l claim" he continued, "for the
house of representatives is not what
has been done, but what it has rem
dered possible for all time to be done"
