STIYERS WE'LL PLEASED,

Referring @toaszthe. Democratic
nominee for the legislature from
Morrison county the Brainerd
Journal whose editor is a candidate
on the same ticket, says:
"Henry Rasicot, the popular ex-
sheriff OF Morrison county, is we'll
known by every resident Of Morrison
county, and by many in the adjoin-
ing counties, and we can truthfully
say that the party in this district is
fortunate in having his name on the
legislative ticket. Like Mr.. Sheets
he has the enthusiastic support of the
Peoples party as we'll as of the
Democratic party, being one of the
few men who can and has this year
been delegate to both the Demo
cratic and the Peoples party Con-
ventions without his loyalty to either
being questioned. He will poll a
great vote in Morrison county and
throughout the district.

REPUBLICAN RALLY AT MOTLEY.
A Large Crowd Listen to Speeches by
C.L. Smith and Others.

On Friday evening of last week
a very enthusiastic Republican meet
ingwas held at Motley, that staunch
Republican village in the northwest
ern corner of this county. A number
Of Republicans from Little Falls,
Royalton and other portions of the
county attended, and the Staples
Republican Club came with drum
corps and torches, over 100 strong.
The Motley band met them at the
station, and they formed in line and
paraded about the city, then went
through some very good evolutions
in front of the hall. The meeting
was called to order by A. G. Law
renee, and a short opening speech de:
livered by Judge Richardson.
The next speech was made by A.
G. Lawrence, and then the speaker
Of the evening, Hon. c. L. Smith, of
Minneapolis, made very able and
interesting political address. He
confined his remarks mostly to the
question of protection and free trade
and his many telling points in favor
of the policy of the Republican party
were warmly applauded. He CON-
pared the condition of the country
under the tariff and financial policies
of the Republican party with it's con-
dition when free trade and state
banks fOurished and the Democratic
party was in power, and it does not
seem possible that the American peo-
pie will vote to return to the old pol
icy which could not but tend to re-
turn the country to it's old condition.
The hall was crowded, and the
audience listened attentively through
out the meeting. The Republicans
Of Motley have every appearance OF
being in good fighting trim this year
and this first meeting was certainly
a rousing one. A strong league club
has been formed, ond the campaign
will be an active one in that part of
the county.

WAGES DURING A PROTECTION
PERIOD.

Edward Atkinson in May Forum:
Wages have advanced steadily. In
1880 they were higher than even
during the paper money period, or
the period of the excessive demands
fo the war. General wages were
higher in 1890 tnan they were in
1880 by from 10 to 40 per cent,
according to the grade Of workman.
There has been during the twenty
seven years since 1855, subject to
temporary variations and fluctuations,
a steady advance in the rates of
wages, steady reduction in the cost
of labor per unit Of product, and a
corresponding reduction in the price
of goods of almost every kind to the
consu mer. There has never been a
period in the history Of this or any
other country when the general rate
of wages was as high as it is now, or
the prices of goods. relatively to the
wages, as low as they are today, nor a
period when the workman, in the
strict sense of the word, has so fully
secured to his own use and enjoyment
such steadily and progressively
increasing proportion of a constantly
increasing product.

The discussions for good roads is
being carried on determinedly in
every state in the union, and it is
probable that the next few years will
see a great improvement in the coun-
try roads of the United States. I'm.
proved wagon roads means great
benefits to farmers, yet the agricul-
tural classes are the slowest in taking
interest in the many plans to secure
the advantages that would be mainly
theirs. Any reasonable amount Of
money spent in improving roads in a
township would add much more to
the market value of the land than
had been expended on the roads, and
the expense Of transporting crops tc
market would be greatly decreased.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN!
A Gentlemen Who Stands Close to
President Hill, of the Great North.
ern, Buys Little Falls Prop.

Shortly after the dinner hour to-
day gentleman stopped into Mr..
H. Landahl's office on Oak street
and said he wished to buy some
real estate. He had a letter of in
PRODUCTION from Olaf O. Searle, OfSt.
Paul, and after being shown several
pieces purchased largely in Searle's
addition and also in Mississippi ad-
dition near the river. He took the
train for st. Paul this afternoon,
after appointing Mr.. Landau as
agent for the land in case OF a sudden
rise in price. There is nothing un-
usual in st. Paul mans coming to
Little Falls and investing the sum of
81 900 or $1,000 in good property, but
this case will create considerable
speculation when it is known that
the gentleman was none other than
Mr.. Magnus Lundberg, who is in the
office of President J. ]. Hill, of the
Great Northern, at st. Paul. Hehad
been keeping his eyes and ears open
and evidently knew what he was
doing. We leave you to draw your
own conclusions.
Messrs. LaFond and Staples, the
managers, have completed the
negotiations with Prof. G. n. Gray,
of Chicago. the greatest parachutest
living, for one of his dizzy leaps in
this city September 16, being the
second day of the Northern Mime
sofa fair. The professor has q
balloon S5 feet in height and 65 feet
in diameter and is under contract to
make an ascencion to the height of
bet ween 5000 and 5000 feet and from
that distance make his thrilling
parachute leap, one of the most
dangerous feats that may be
attempted. The managers Of the
fair have a cast iron contract with
Mr.. Gray and should the weather be
rainy or very windy the jumper
must remain and do his great act
the next day. Everything points
to, a most successful fair this year
of our Lord, 1892. n

Sixth District Democrats Sore on the
New Political Firm,

New Political Firm.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
Dan w. Lawler does not expect to
be elected governor of Minnesota.
Not that he does not crave the honor,
but rather because he was put up to
be knocked down, and will be re-
warded with "fat sit" in the event
of Cleveland's election. IF Mr.. Law
Ter ever cherished hope of election
his actions since the state nominating
convention would lead to the belief
that "wheels'' were part of the make
up Of the Lawler Uranium, where he
is regarded as class, a politician.
Dan seems to be rnnning wild, not
even stopping on signal to consult his
friends in general, and his Sixth dis
trict followers in particular. In spite
of the fact that the Stearns county
Democratic convention passeda a reso-
luton recommending him for place
on the state central committee, Theo;
Bruener, of St. Cloud, was turned
down, circumstantial evidence show

man of the committee. Chairman
Jacques had the St. Clond Judge slated
as one of the five members-at-large
but on submitting his little list to Mr.
Lawler, that gentleman blue-penciled
Bruener's name. According to the
story Mr.. Campbell made good hi:
statement that there was an "amic
able understanding between him ant
the gubernatorial nominee by telling
iawler that to replace Brother-in
law Macdonald with another St
Cloudite would be reflection on tn
editor of the St. Cloud Times. Law
Ter must have thought so, too, 70
Bruener was not given a place on tn
committee. The heavy Democrat

A well-to-do good-looking young
bachelor of Jefferson City was being
.badgered by the young ladies of a
club for not getting married. He
said: "I'll marry the girl Of your
club which on secret vote, you elect
to be my little wife," There were
nine members of the club. Each
girl went away in a corner and used
great caution in preparing her ballot
and Disgusting her handwriting. The
result was there were nine votes cast,
each girl receiving one. The young
man remains a bachelor, the club is
broken up, and the girls are all
mortal enemies, united in one
determination that they will never
speak to that nasty fellow again.
