senator not long ago, in the OF which fight

did lie saw the true significance OF the matter, and
carried te day i'm the face Of great opposition OF
course it cannot be expected that Mr.. Hill would have
talked this way had he supposed what ne said would

platform will arraign the Republican leader just the

A Debt-Paying Year,

This is a debt-paying year. The
Northwest has a habit of disappoin ting
people who do not expect much of it.
For the last two or three seasons it has
been paraded in the East as a drouth-
stricken region, worthless for agricul-
tural purposes, and yet it has, with the
exception Of a comparatively small per-
centage of its acreage, gone right on
raising big crops Of wheat,
and this season almost every county
is in line with the largest wheat
crop ever grown. Not having anything
else to say, the calamity" shriekers
mourn because the proceeds of the crop
go to pay debts Now, there is no better
use for money than to pay debts, and
the fact that the proceeds of one or two
crops will pay off all the debts a farmer
is likely to incur is one of the best rec
concentrations of this new country.
After the crop is sold the farmers Of
the Northwest will owe less money
than those of any other state in the
Union Northwestern Agriculturist.

Northwestern Prosperity.

1t has been pleasure for the Pioneer
Press to state and restate in it's columns
the indications of the approach of
prosperous era, for the promises rest
upon what seems an assured basis of
fact: The merchant read the promises
in the orders received, and from them it
is evident that the farmers are in the
midst of a bounteous period, caused by
large and excellent crops and high
prices. They will sell the grain, pay
their debts, and with the surplus add to
their farms, erect new houses or barns,
newly equip the farm with machinery,
buy necessaries and indulge in Injuries
This means "a corresponding degree of
prosperity in other lines, for mechanics
must work to supply such a demand.
and the jobbing houses will be kept
busy filling the orders.-St Paul Pic.

Stevens County Is in It.

We will be pardoned for again speak
ing for Stevens county. for we have a
pardonable pride in the county just at
this time, and we can't help growing a
little about it. - l,.ssa eg.es. 80, :.
The wealth of this county must con-
tinue to be in the farms and stock; we
have not sufficient water power to es-
tablish any large amount of manufacture
ing, and we need not hope to soon be able
to compete with the Twin Cities in the
use of steam. It is therefore the bust
ness OF: the county to devote it's whole
attention to agriculture and stock. For
| this we have everything in our favor
good land, good water, good grass and a
fine assortment of stock; healthy eli
mate and all the facilities for good mar
kets. We give below the yield of few
of our farms that have just come under
our notice, not selected as the best:

They say they are working for a bare

they think they are; their farms are

Advantages Of Minnesota.

Let me mention some OF the advan
tages offered by the State of Minnesota
to those who are willing to make their
homes with us and engage in manufac-
turing enterprises These may be
summed up as follows: g..
l. A great variety of raw materials,
so distributed that they can be obtained
at moderate cost at many points. ".".:
2. Numerous water powers in almost
every part of the state; cheap wood
from the ever growing forests, or cheap
coal from the coal fields of Iowa or ILL
nois. - j., ..sts.s.,: 5.... .--. ...-, -.
3. A climate unsurpassed for health,
and in every way favorable for indus
trial pursuits at all seasons of the year.
4. Convenience to markets, East,
West, North or South, by rail and by
river. y.--.. IT,: T.. .s... =.
5. A good supply of labor, which
can be had for fair and moderate
wages. @s:- II 49, .-.. ....
g. A large surplus of the very best of
food for man and beast. ."
Z. Homes, the fee-simple of which
can be bought by the savings of ordinary
industry. a .l... .-...- S.. ,-.-
The immense army of people could
not all engage in manufacturing, but
many of them could find homes on un-
improved lands and become producers
instead of remaining consumers, as
sured of steady employment and a
ready sale for all the surplus they can
produce Stock raising has always
been very profitable and will continue
to be until the West becomes so densely
settled that stock cannot, roam at large

Minnesota'S Future.

The rush of settlers through the
Northwestern states to the far Western
territory would lead a careless thinker
into a belief that the nearer states are
thoroughly settled. Such, however.
would be an egregious mistake Com
pared with period of twenty years
ago, the State of Minnesota, for in
stance, is we'll settled; but compared
with the Atlantic states, or, still more
striking, compared with Holland or
Belgium, countries teeming with
people, the possibilities of the
North Star state have not yet
been encroached upon. Minnesota con-
tains about So, 000 900 acres of land, and
of this 5000, 900, a trifing per cent, is
water, most advantageously distributed
in lakes and rivers. Probably not over
one-ffth of the dry land is in use, leav-
ing balance of millions of acres, even
throwing out some of them as useless,
ready for use and occupancy. The use
of land as demanded by such conditions
as exist in Europe is unknown in this
country, but as time brings increasing
millions of people it will bring enforced
economy Of the source of all susie
nance.
It is generally believed that Mime
sofa is an agricultural state entirely.
On the contrary, the export Of minerals
is equal in value to the export Of wheat,
and the value of manufactured articles
exceeds both combined. There are for
ests without limit, water powers with
out number, quarries of every kind.
Climatic conditions could not be i'm
proved and waterways reach to the
Atlantic and the gulf What more
could be asked by reasonable settlers?
The result of such conditions is as GER
tain as fate, for they weave the destiny
of the state The immigrant Of the
present day may hasten to other fields,
attracted by the enthusiasm Of boom,
but the population Of state like this
will go on increasing in spite Of every
form Of competition Northwestern
