The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1891-10-16

THE weekly abuse of the Board Of
Managers of the Worlds Fair for Min
nesota, penned by the editor of the
Rerieer, is nothing short of the out
pourings of diseased mind, and at
once stamps the author as a black
guard and calamity shrieker. The
FREE PRESS has taken occasion
to inform the public as to
the character and high standing Of
the gentlemen who compose the COM
mission, and they are too honorable
and well known in the State to be at
all disturbed over the raving and
ranting of demagogue Of the stripe
of Wise. The unselfish and wholly
patriotic desire Of the commission to
give to Minnesota such standing
among the States Of the Union as
shall reflect credit rather than dis
grace upon the commonwealth, by Sc
curing fund sufficiently large to do
the work Systematically and in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of every man
who is broad-gauged enough to know
our worth and requirements, should
receive the hearty appreciation of the
community. Every citizen Of the state
should have an equal interest with
the commission in the display at Chi
cago The gentlemen of the Board
give their time without reward or
hope Of reward other than that to be
gained in the satisfaction Of having
given TO the state such an exhibit as
all will be proud to look upon and in
yite their friends TO see. Minnesota
has twice been disgraced in failing to
show up her resources at Philadelphia
and New Orleans, and it is a sorrow
full spectacle to see few men in the
state bending their every energy to
make third failure assured even be-
fore the Exposition shall open. The
city of Mankato appropriated 1000
for an individual display of her inter-
ests at New Orleans. 1t is not
pertinent to the question to
here state whether or not that sum
was wisely expended. II is, however,
proper to say that the public spirit
manifested on the part Of our city was
worthy the cause to which it was de-
voted and was an example which
should be followed at this time. If
the plan which will be submitted to
the people for raising additional funds
is accepted by the public, the amount
apportioned to Blue Earth county will
amount to only about 1000. We have
one Of the wealthiest counties in the
State, the sixth city in point of popul-
alton, and contiguous country sur
passing any section in the Northwest.
| There is no doubt about Blue Earth
county responding to the call when it
shall be made, and it is quite certain
! that all other counties will come for
ward and show their earnestness in
having Minnesota put to the front at
| Chicago in '93.

BROKEN DOWN AGAIN.

The Washington dispatches have
Secretary Blaine sick again. This
time recovery was impossible. While
he is strong enough to get around, he
is not, nor will he ever be, they say,
strong enough to again take charge
Of his department, 1.-THE reports
which the president has received con-
corning Mr.. Blaine's health" says
member of the administration ''are
very discouraging, though, Of course,
tending to remove any fear the presi
dent may have had that the secretary
would run away with the presidential
nomination next year. | can tell you
the view taken of Blaine in the cabi-
net and among Mr.. Blaine's nearest
friends, and this is that he is an inn
possibility as a candidate for the presi-
deney. ;" This little conversation re-
Veals the milk in the cocoanut. The
Washington authorities undoubtedly
prefer to have the country believe
that the man from Maine is unable to
attend to business. 1t very evident
that they want the country to believe
that he is broken down entirely, and
consequently beyond all thought as a
presidential possibility. No doubt
fear Of him has much to do with this
for it only needs one little word from
him, as regards the presidential mat
ter, to cast all his competitors in the
shade. So it is well to be somewhat
cautious in accepting reports that re-
late to the secretary'S health We
are all human, and look to our own
interests first; hence those who have
an eye upon the big chair in the White
House may not be the best authority
nnon the matter of health when their
are concerned. We are
inclined tgtle belief, however,. that

ALBERT GIFFIN, a London tina ncial
agent, seems to have fore bodings as
to the soundneSS of our financial sys-
TEN. AS claims that the United
States is issuing more paper currency
then it can float and keep at par and
expects a financial crash here about
February 1st. In paper currency, Mr..
Gifin, alludes to our silver certitl-
Gates If those certificates were like
the silver dollars there might be some
basis for Mr.. Giffin'S criticism. But
they are not. The silver certificate is
issued upon dollars worth of silver,
and not upon IS or S0cents worth, as
is the real value of the coined dollar.
1t is this feature of full value which
Andrew Carnegie in late magazine
article, commended, stating that it
was the only good feature of the new
silver law. The fact of the matter il
the government only issues certiti-
Gates to the extent Of the market
value Of the silver it buys. If the
4,500, 900 ounces which the law pro-
vides shall be purchased each month,
is worth 81 per ounce, than the gov
eminent issues S4,500,000 in certifi-
Gates, and if it is less, then a less
amount is issued. Hence it will be
seen that there is a legitimate basis
for our currency. circulation. instead
of it's being showed out as fiat issue,
as would be inferred from Mr.. Giffin,s
talk 1t is, however, safe to say that
with free and unlimited coinage Of
silver we would be unable to hold the
silver certificates at par as well as the
coin dollar, as it would be beyond the
power of our gold reserve to SO main
tain them.

Chicago, the Western Union Tele-

entered decree this morning dismiss

striking the bill from the docket as to

This Was one of the cases for lnjunc-
ton to restrain defendants from with
holding market quotations, in which the
court held that the Board could not
monopolize market reports, and en-
joined it from doing.
To-day's action was taken on the
strength of plea by the defendants
that on March 81 last .the Board of
Trade had abolished the collection and
distribution of market reports entirely.
This finally settles the matter, as the
only prayer OF the petitioners was for
relief from discrimination.
