THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The Hardware Trade-The farm i'm
element manufacturers and dealers are
looking forward with reason to an eX-
ceIlent trade in agricultural machinery
of every description, this seeming to be
assured by the immense wheat crop
which in every probability will be
harvested this summer. This is only
one, although a considerable one, of
many industrial factors that are obvl-
ouSly likely TO make the year of 1891 an
exceedingly prosperous year for bust
ness men in the Northwest.
Northwestern Labor UniOn-True free
trade would be the abolition of all UNI
just restrictions, either private or gov
ernmental, on the production and diStri-
button of wealth, and consequently
would in a very short time put the work
ingman and the capitalist on footing
of practical equality, so that neither
would be able to Cypress the other.
The workingman is not child that he
needs protection. What he needs is
liberty. Liberty to labor on the raw ma
terials-the bounty of nature-without
being blackmailed by a law-created
landlord, and freedom to trade the
products of his labor to whomsoever
will give the most for them. Take away
the governmental restriction to labor
and to trade and its favoritism to cap
ital, and in mighty short time the
laborer Will protect himself from the Op-
preston of the capitalist.
The Progressive Age-We believe in
Sunday for more reasons than we have
space or time to tell. We need rest,
recreation and opportunity for social,
religious and intellectual culture. If we
could do it, we would have Sunday
every five days instead of every seven.
Believing all these does not prevent us
from believing that Sunday was made
Tor man and that its opportunities are
chiefly valuable because the other days
of the week are occupied with bread
getting. We would keep open the Chi
cago exposition every day in the week.
If that exposition will not be fit to be
seen on Sunday it ought to be closed on
Monday. The great labor classes can
not afford to lose days wages, and pay
an admission fee besides, 10 see the eX-
position. If the sticklers for Sunday
keeping would agitate more for the holy
keeping of every day, there would be
less reason for the universal revolt
against the religious affectation of the
times, and rational regime, in spiritual
as we'll as material affairs, would more
amply bless mankind.
Irish Standard-Some people do not
know when they have enough, and some
do not know what they do want but
they keep on begging for a little of
everything in sight. This is the position
OF RevS. Morrill, and Allen just now. :
Ii these gentlemen were wise
thev would resolve to mind their own
business in the future, keep out of city
matters as far as possible, and err on
the side of brevity rather than make
fools of themselves again. What a
laughing stock they made of themselves
and how their congregations must blush
tor them now!
South Minneapolis Telegram The
principal ambition of Rev. G.. l..
Morrill, seems to be newspaper notoriety,
and for that reason we would prefer not
TO mention his name. But. as his recent
ntterances have been heralded far and
near, we must fall in line and express
our sentiments in regard to the man and
the matter. In the first place, Morrill,
has no more right in the pulpit than any
Dther man who visits brothels and sings
mud. He may be, from a Baptist stand
point, theologlcally sound, but all must
agree that his methods are at least pc
eullar, and even his theology is ques-
tionable.
Northwestern Miller-Probably not
much satisfaction is being secured by
Inc Alliance people in the present in
vestigatlon into alleged elevator crook
edness at Duluth and other points. On
the other hand, much information is
being brought out by the evidence
which will give farmers better under
standing of the systems used, and help
to resiove from their minds the idea
that the business of wheat buying nee
sssarily renders every man who ell
