THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

In recent magazine article, Mr..
LODGE lnStanced the quotations for
cotton goods as proof of the MCKIN-
LEY bills power to lower prices. Ac-
cording to his figures, the cotton fabrics
to which Republican legislation had
given additional protection had fallen
an average of ga per cent during the
past year. DAVID A. WELLS. in a re-
ply, supplies an important omission of
the Massachusetts congressman, and
that was his failure to tell his readers
that i'll the same period the raw material
or which these fabrics are made had de-
clined 81 per cent. The stagnant condi-
ton Of the cotton market. of which this
is evidence, has produced great distress
at the South, and the news from its large
cities is to the effect that money is tight
and collection slow. The planters are
unwilling to sell their crops for the
prices offered, and 500, OO9,OOJ worth of
their great staple is accumulated at the
centers of distribution, waiting favor
able turn.
THESE are the only gloomy tidingS
from business circles for the past week,
and the hope is expressed that this stu
alton may be only temporary. In all
quarters of the North, both east and
west, wholesalers and retailers agree
that the volume of trade is large and
prices satisfactory. Wheat has not
altered in value, but sale is ready for
all that it is offered, and. in spite of the
arguments SO freely offered in favor
of holding If If continues tO NOM fo
ward the SeabOard as fast as the rail-
roads can carry it. This means plenty
of money for this section. and one char
acteristic Of the present season has been
the local capacity to absorb local securi-
ties. a great many bonds have been
issued of late under authority given by
the last legislature. But in general
they have been disposed of at home
among people who have had surplus
for investment
No unusual activity is looked for in
Wall street until after the holidays, but
| except where there has been con-
certed effort to depress prices the tend
ency has of late been decidedly bull
iSh. Investment securities have been
largely bought, and. with some cOnspic-
uOus exceptions, stocks have shown an
| advance. Burlington and st. Paul have
been chiefly in demand Of the granger
class, the former going to 1861, and the
latter to 1874. Northern Pacific pre-
ferred suffered somewhat owing to UNI
favorable rumorS and showings. To-
wards the end, however, confidence
here, ten. was restored, ana the stock,
which had fallen to 672l, rose to 70115.

THEY BLAME THE GLOBE.

The GLOBE started Merriam's boom
for vice president Wednesday, 1t has
a hard and dirty row to hoe, and we wish
it much pleasure in the job it has un-
dertaken.-FairmOnt News.
The st. Paul GLOBE dominates Gov.
Merriam for vice president on the Re
publican ticket, and the News hurrahS
for Blaine. How will the Democracy
fare next year for an organ at the cap
itaI at that rate?-Shakopee Courier.
Tom Lowry starts boom for Merriam
for vice president, and the st. Paul
GLOBE strongly advocates it. 1t hardly
seems proper for Democratic paper to
be making suggestions to the z. o. D.,
but the Avalanche would most heartily
rejoice to see our young governor thus
hOnOred. Let that be the next work of
the Twins, and his name will be OH the
iISt.-Sauk Center Avalanche.
When the GLOBE tried to make Mer-
RAM appear as a proper man withal to
be the running mate of James q. Blaine
it didn't calculate that the brainy and
intellectual leader was at least deServ-
ing of companion on the ticket who
would possess some running strength
in himself, and not one who would
prove a load for the head of the ticket.
New Ulm Review.
The st. Paul GLOBE of Dec. 2 was
just too funny for anything. 1t act
uaIly had the uHheard-Of audacity 10
suggest and advise the Republicans to
nominate Bill Merriam for vice presl-
dent of the United States. Bill Mer-
riam. who has done more than any ten
Democrats in the state to ruin the Re
publican party, for vice president. Oh,
we gods. what mockery is this Pres
ton Times.
The st. Paul GLOBE, the leading
Democratic paper in the Northwest,
dominates w. X. Merriam for vice
president on the Republican ticket.
How would 1T do to put him on the
Democratic ticket? On the question of
taritf-the issue on which the next
presidential contest will be fought-the
governor has openly stated that he did
not know where he stood, but leaned
toward free trade. TO hitch a man of
Merrriam's caliber with Blaine would
be like hitching together thorough
bred and scrub. In the campaign of
1883 Merriam ran $4,000 votes behind
his ticket, and lacked less than 5000
of being defeated i'll 1890. The GLOBE
is evidently working in the interest of
the DemOcracy.-W Wright County Times.

PENSIONS FOR ALI.

There are no doubt some Incidental
advantages in government that has its
center on gilded pedestal, and not
down among the teeming masses.
Schemes to please the unthinking and
impress them that they are happy and
fortunate in being so well cared for NAV
be worked out. Even Russia tickles its
StOlid agriculturiStS with its benignant
regard for their welfare in advancing
money on the crops. Germany is ex-
perimenting with a device to keep the
superannuated from want, under GER
tain conditions. But the recently print
ed reports of consuls show the little
and staid country of Denmark in
the lead in the pension bust
ness. This aid is not confined to
those who have done the country
service in the army or public station.
All citizens, both native and naturalized,
above sixty years of age, are to be en-
titled to pension. That it is a liberal
one is to be inferred from the language
of the act that ''all such persons are to
be supported and provided for during
their declining years, not as paupers,
but as pensioners, losing none of their
political rights" The exceptions are
criminals, persons of bad character or
the recklessly Improvident. In the ideal
state good citizenship will count as well
as special service in war or in civil
place. In the analysis it is found that
the state is indebted for its exist
ence and welfare TO the good cit
iZen, i'll a large measure, and
his claims should have recogni-
ton with the others. The service in
war may have larger claims from its
greater sacrifices, but the measure is
only relative. All who fill the role OF
the citizen laudably have claims. The

The one thing needful now is the
auditorium. Those of the Washington
delegation who have returned bring en-
couraging tidings about their reception.
But the national committee '7ill need TO
be convinced that st. Paul can accom-
mOdate the convention as far as both
hotels and an adequate assembly hall
are concerned There will be no Diff
Guilty about the first condition. St Paul
together with Minneapolis and their
suburbs canmake as satisfactory a show
ing Id this regard as any place of three
times It's population in the country.
The statistics were carefully compiled
in advance of our sister city's recent
contest, and proved convincing beyond
the criticisms Of competitors. The same
towns will be in the race against st.
Paul, and the same facts will be avail
able again and with the same result.
The Exposition hall at Minneapolis,
however, was a powerful argument IN
its favor. A picture of imposing size,
displaying its appearance and capacity,
was early put on exhibition in Wash
ington. and told its own story without
the need of comment or exclamation.
Today we have no building fit either for
national or local public gathering,
and without it we have the right neither
to expect nor to desire the Democratic
convention. This want in our munich
pal equipment must first be supplied, If
we are to hold our present position or
aspire to be ranked among the Unions
first cities. No one disputes this fact.
No one questions that our progress has
been retarded because it has not long
since been supplied. No one doubts
that we have at our command an en-
tirely feasible method of securing what
we need. 1t would seem as though.
with all this, the proper course were not
hard to determine on.
The GLOBE is Of the opinion that,
whether we secure the Democratic con-
ventiOn or not, we ought to build the
hail and build 1t at once. The agitation
and efforts of the past few weeks will
not have been wasted if they accom-
pliSh nothing more than this. With
this step made forward we shall be in a
better condition for all time to come.
But the GLOBE is further of the opinion
that if we build the hall we shall get
the convention. No rivals would be
able to stand before the enthusiasm
such an achievement would excite.
Could our promoters show the national
committee that, in order to secure sue
cess in our endeavors, we had in the
course of month appropriated $685.
600 by regular taxation to construct a
building in which the delegates might
meet, and had In addition raised $780,
900 by private subscriptions as a guar
antee fund, they would not have to use
other forms of persuasion to win their
case. The point is, however, that only
about five weeks remain in which to
get the work we'll under way. Every
hours delay is dangerous. This is a
popular measure, and we cannot be at
it with too great dispatch.

YANKEE TROUBLE.

Connecticut has traditional repute
for the broad phylactery business. At
one period the Sunday traveller oil the
highway was reasonably certain to find
a stopping place in Jail. A writer in
one Of the magazines for the month re-
lates an incident where the Jealous
deacon who made the arrest was made
to suspect that he had taken in a small
pOX victim, and his regard for the Sab
bath and humanity disappeared ludi-
crously. The running of railroad trains
is still prohibited by law. But danger
of another sort has arisen by reason of
the enormous apple crop the past sea-
sOn. The cider mills are all running
day and night. The farmers haul in
their apples, and for every ten bush
els take back barrel of cider.
One mill owner will make 10000
barrels. The common one barrel
OF cider in the cellar will not
be lonesome, and the period when the
apple juice will be termed sweet cider
will be vigorously survived by the
contents of many barrels. Every Gel
lar will have enough barrels of alco-
hOlic cider after a while to keep the
whole family on jag the entire sea-
son. The prospect is causing great
alarm among the temperance people.
1t is urged that the apple growers turn
their cider into vinegar or interpose
some element to stay fermentation, but
they seem to have their heads set on APP
plejack. The only way to obviate such
direful conditions seems to be to cut
down the apple trees. That is rem
edy that every farmer is willing to see
his neighbor adopt, but he will set out
a few more trees himself.
