The Moorhead News is the sheet,
referred to elsewhere, which says
thatwe sold out on the fusion racket
Offering to bothrepubllcan and demo-
cratic state committees. Wehavejust
seen it's column Of republican slime.
Every man who reads the G. W. knows
how We stood and still stand in that
appearance" diffusion. We condemn
it in unmeasured terms-and hereby
declare that even that electoral mux
with democracy cost our party TO-
600 votes at this election. Those
four men if fully ware oftheir duty as
American citizens, would have in
stantly rejected the nomination by the
democrats. Not that democracy was
vile, or republicanism less danger
but because the unwritten constitu-
tion of man and republics demands
that one man shall not cover two
antagonistic parties. Webelieve this
is the first time in our history that
such a thing has occurred. We pray
God that it may never occur again.
In Duluth alone that move cost us q
thousand votes.
This is the attitude we have always
held, and the Moorhead News is simply
ratified when it says we have been
corruptly attached to that fusion
scheme. Even our nominees have
begged us to ''let up" on our radical
views against the move.

Why He Tagged the Train.

Why He Tagged the Train.
One Of Michiean's railroad COM
panies decided to establish freight
and ticket Office at R, q small
flag station in the southern part Of
the state. and the grocery-keeper Of
this hamlet was commissioned as
agent. The first morning he awoke
about o'clock, and hearing the linn
tied" whistle in the distance, hurried
~ slid into his trousers, and, without
stopping to finish dressing, dashed
down the stairs, flag in hand, ran out
upon the platform and began wildly
waving the flag across the track. The
train stopped; the conductor alighted,
and seeing no one but the agent in
sight, turned to him with the inquiry:
where's your passengers?"
Haven't any" replied the agent,
as he made another grab to keep his
trousers from dropping down.
''Then why in thunder did you stop
us?"
'W-well, I-I-thought perhaps
there might be someone who would
want to get off here"

A Robbery Of 80 per cent for the Bene-
At Of the PlutOcrats.

A Robbery Of 80 per cent for the Bene-
at the P1ut0crats.,
A writer upon this Subject Says:
Upon this point there is no difference
among economists. No matter which
side OF the silver question they may
take or how much they may differ as
to the cause, they are agreed upon
the fact that the period extending
from 1878 down to 1890 has been
one Of almost constantly falling
prices. The Economists Index Num-
bers show a decline of about &c per
cent; the tables OF DR.. Soetheer show
the same decline. The figures of
Prof. Sauerbeck show a fall of 81 per
cent; of Robert Griffin, 81 per cent;
and the Hamburg Tables Indicate an
average decline OF 33h per cent.
These are the most eminent autho-
rites who bave investigated the SUBJ
ject. The Economist, Soetbeer, and
Griffin are strong advocates of the
gold standard, while Sauerbeck and
Pa]garve lean to bimetallism. The
feeling Of the compiler. or compilers,
OF the Hamburg Tables do not know.
A fair average of these figures shows
a decline of 80 per cent, which in
dicates that gold has appreciated
about 43 per cent.
It is proper for me to add, however,
that tn. Sc figures are only brought
down to the beginning of 1887; but
the fact is generally reconized that
the decline has continued since then,
save as it was checked temporarily
by the monetary legislation of this
country in 1890. The economist
Index Numbers, however, have been
extended on to 1892, and they show
a decline of 3 per cent more since the
date | have given. And it is fair to
assume that prices will continue to
follow the same downward course un.
til the cause is removed, subject o.
course, to ephemeral spurts which
may result from short crops or othel
causes, materially diminishing the
supply of commodities.

If the 100000 employees of the
railroads in this country could see
things as they are. If they could
realize that by the naturalization Of
railroads their hours would be short.
ened, their wages doubled and the
rate of transportation be reduced
one-half,-if they knew that this re
suit would follow the NATURALIZATION
of railroads, wouldn't they be sui
cides, financially speaking, if they die
not further their own interests by
voting to insure such ends?

THE FALL OF RUPEE.
An Ang1o.Indian Financial View q
the Indian Silver Question.

An Anglo.Indian Financial View on
the Indian Silver Question.
LONDON, Marches 92!M Mr.. Lutterell
Tupp, formerly accountant general
OF the Indian government, delivered a
lecture this evening in the Westmin-
ster town hall on the subject of the
influence of the fall in the value OF sill
yer upon the commerce and finances
of India. There was a very large
audience, including many Anglo
Indian financiers. General Davies pre-
sided. Mr.. Tupp said that the rise in
the value Of silver since 1872 had been
due to the hope that America would
adopt the principle OF free coinage.
The recent downward movement had
been caused by the disappointment OF
that hope, The depreciation in silver
had disordered taxation and finance
in India and had mulcted the official
and ealaried classes of a third of their
incomes. midas trade had been
thrown into confusion and her mer-
chants badly handicapped by the
same cause. The Indian government
had remitted to England between
1871 and 1891, for home charges,
ETC., 1882, 100000 sterling, and had
lost thereon 266, 900, 900, which was
really a tribute to England, uDjustly
wrung from India. It was q tribute
Imposed by Indifference, stupidity and
ignorance. It was fearful burden
which England ought to at once re-
move. Nothing, said the speaker,
prevented the complete deliverance OF
India from her financial troubles and
misfortunes but the inveterate OBJ
stinacy and prejudice of Great Britain
in preventing America and France
from Immediately restoring silver to
it's proper value, which could be done
with q stroke of the pen, without
causing loss to any human being. A
general discussion followed and most
Of the speakers conceded with Mr..
Tupp's views. The meeting adopted
q vote of thanks to Mr.. Tupp.
