A PLAN for promoting immigration
to the northwest and to the Red River
valley in particular, which is likely
to be carried out, was proposed by
j. j. Hill of the Great Northern rail-
way before his departure for Europe.
The plan is to raise $4,000 in St.
Paul, $4,000 il Minneapolis, and the
same in the counties and towns on
both sides of the Red River valley,
making $4,000, to which amount MIR.
Hill will add ano'h $4,000, making
a fund Of $50 600. One hundred
farmers will then be selected and sent
east to go to their old homes and
work for immigration.

coal OIL INSPECTION.

THE oil inspection bill introduced by
Representative Twohy yesterday seems to
cover the necessary ground. 1t If the
Minnesota law, with slight notifications,
and has worked well in that state II
fixes the flashing point of illuminating
oils ITO degrees, the standard required IN
the majority of the states, and puts the
cost of inspection on the wholesale deal

pany, where it belongs. 1t is Legislation
OF the right sort and should be enacted
without deIay.--Independent.
This a good deal like .1@ argument

porters pay the duty when as a mat
ter of fact it comes right out OF the
pockets of the consumer. So 1t wouid

have his profit, and the cost OF the
inspection would be added to the re.

WILL KILL THE PARTY.

Senators Stewart, Teller and Jones
take the ground that the grand
menace to the perpetuation Of the
republican party is its attitude on the
question Of the free coinage OF silver.
They do not hope for the passage Of
the senate bill by the house, owing to
the efforts of Reed and others to sup,
press it, and even should its passage
be forced they believe the president

people-ths democracy-in the next

FREE COINAGE Il

The national executive silver com
mittee, Gen. A. j. Warner chairman
has issued An address to congress and
the people urging the free and unre-
stricted coinage Of silver. Comment
ing on the recent action of congress
on the silver question the address
says:
"The senate has agained passed a bill
placing the coinage of gold and silver
upon n basis of equality, which relation
the two metals held from the foundation
OF the government to 1873, when this re-
lation was dishonesty broken in tine in
terest OF he creditor class. The same
interest is now putting forth every effort
and bringing every influence possible to
bear on the house 10 prevent the peoples
representatives from c%oncurring in this
just and beneficial measure, which ha
now twice passed the senate. The coun.
try demands money supply, self-regula
ting and sufficient to keep pace with
the increase of people and wealth and il
will have it. This demand is made, not
merely in the interest of the mineis OF
silver or gold. hut in the interest of ev-
cry INDUSTRY IN the land. Only the lew
who want money made scarce that it may
be made dearer, aud so be the more
easily controlled, are benefited by the
single gold standard.
"ihe people ut the late election" the
address says, "cleariy made known their
wishes on the Question, and why should
their representatives hesitate to carry out
lheir will" it is asked. Surely this
question of money - the address says, Evil
not longer be left to the control of Wall
street and the banks. 1t is a question
not for New York nr Boston alone, MOI
for one class alone, and it will not down
till silver and gold are placed on an equal
footing as money metals. The question
SO far as this congress is concerned
apparently, must go again to tue people
The issue, however, Is no longer doubt

LET THE EAGLE SCREAM +!

No census return is likely to de-
monstrate the pre-emiaenee OF the
United States more completely than
the aggregate of its mineral pro-
ducts. This is placed at S566.9SS,.
$50 for 1890. No country in the
world can compare with this. Great
Britain comes the nearest to 1t, with
mineral products of 1868, 100000 in
1886. The London Economist re
Gently grouped the aggregate MIN
eral product of the British Empire
in all parts of the world. with 266.-
100000 of population, and the total
is but S49S, 100000, or S6S,0SS,00O
less than the aggregate in this coun'
try.
By the side of these great totals
other nations make but beggarly
showing. Germany in 1888 had but
1928, 100000 of mineral products,
or barely fifth ofour OWL. France
produces only $50, 100000 from its
mines and quarrieS, a seventh OF ouI
total. Russia produces still less
and no other European nation ap
proaches these.
Our mineral product last year, in
short, was nearly as large as that OF
all Europe put together, which, al
the outside, was not over $3.50, 1000,
900. The mineral product of the
British Empire, outside OF Grea
Britain, is placed by the EcOnOmis
at Sl20,000,000. The product of thu
