countries would undoubtedly exhibit
any such intention, il ever actually
entertained, WAS sure TO be suicidal, and
they sent n commissioners, Mr.. Wcrmutb
over to Chicago, who on his return urged
the German manufacturers TO take the
utmost advantages Of the very liberal
offers made TO them at Chicago.
In answer to some objections from
Professor Noeel based ON our tariff,
Wermuth, according to the report il
Kuhlow's, declared that the imports Of
America had during the last nine months
increased, which must he attributed Ca

the exports from Germany were greater
than for the past period in 1899, though
not SO large as in 1890, when, as ~
matter Of TACT, goods were rushed into
the country to secure the duties to tie
importers.

c. III. RUSSELL, OF Berlin, Wis, agent
for the Berlin Marble Works, gives the
editor Of the Conglomeratc material for
a good article favoring the Mckinley bill.
The information is easily obtanableand
will stand without dispute. In Berlin and
vicinity are some very goodgranitequnr-
ries that had been worked in small way
for number OF years. IL was known
that there was just rs good granite there
as in any quarry ever opened. But the
Scotch granite was shipped over 10 this
country in the holds OF vessels and de-
livcrcd here so much cheaper than II
could be quarried in this country. that
the quarry owners were afraid to under
take the putting up OF aplant that would
enable them tn compete with the Scotch
quarries in the line OF getting out monu-
ments. After the Mckinley bill was
passed, the additional tariff on Scotch
granite raised prices sufficiently TO war
rant the expenditure Of money enough to
develop the Berlin qunrries on an extern
sive scale. Today they are producing n
granite that is good and even better than
can be brought from Scotland for the
same money. And the price is but trifle
in advance Of the old price, and the prob
ability is that it will decline soon. Com
petition is growing stronger and IL IL con-
tinues there will soon he no Scotch gran
lite in the American market. What n
victory for the principles OF the McKin-
ley tariff and OF protection in general.
The above is taken from the Calumet
Conglomerate, OF Red Jacket. The DIA-
MoND DRILL having the pleasure of
Mr. Russel's acquaintance and knowing
the facts set forth in the above To he
truths, is in II position to respond witha
hearty amen.

gers Of Minnesota have issued their
address to the public, appealing for an

Bhe work of complete and represen-
sative exhibit of Minnesota IS resources
and interests at the Worlds Fair.
The Commissioners have eliminated
trom their paper all attempts at rhe-
tOric, platitudes and verbage, of what
soeVer nature, and come square down
TO business in as few words as possible,
and in English so plain as to be I'M
Gerstood by everybody. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether or not Min
Eesota will respond as becomes her dig
niUyand proud possessions. We believe
she will. The words of the St. Paul
&l0be on the position of the commits
sion are so eminently just and free
from bias that we are prompted to
make brief extract from its columns.
1t says:
The Globe hopes very sincerely that
something will come Of this new effort,
and that people will be found ready
10 put their shoulders to the wheel
out OF q sense Of loyalty and local
patriotism They may be sure that
whatever they give will be honestly
and wisely used, and can count on it's
return, If not by the next, at any rate
by some future legislature. The his
SOTy 81 such movements has always
been that, while parsimony prevails
for while, in the long run the gov
eminent will compensate those who
have been generous with their SER
vices or their means for its advance
melt.
The amount required from each
county is tritiing, outside of Hen
nepin, Ramsey and ST. Louis. These
three countries will raise 81, Ats of the
100000 asked for, leaving S45, 525 to
be contributed by the remaining
seyenty-seven' counties. 1t is less
than an average of 5000 to the county.
Blue Earth is asked to raise 81, $40.
And unless the FREE PRESS is won
derfully at fault in it's estimation of
the composition of her citizens 1T will
be secured with little or no difficult y.
There ought to be found $50 men in
a county Of $4,000 people willing to
contribute $40 each to a cause so
worthy and needful, while we have
several who will easily give five times
that sum. Mankato put up 81, 900 on
her own responsibility for the New
Orleans exposition. She will do equal
or better for Worlds Fair.
AS soon as possible, and with little
delay, active operations will begin
for the raising of this fund. 1t is
truly to be Hoped that the public will
readily see the Importance of lending
all possible aid to the commission in
its work, and appreciate the fact that
is is not for the advancement of any
individual or private interest that
5he money is asked.

Wilson, of Winona, in a Chicago in

Democrats would surely send

silverites would join hands in his sup
port, dropping their convictions for
the individual. Mr.. w. also remarked,
incidentally, that while the Alliance
would endeavor to cut quite dash in

they magnifled their strength. Now
