NORTH REDWOOD, May 4.
read communication from MIR.
D. Stewart in last weeks Gazette in
regard to cheese factory and creamery.
| agree with Mr.. Stewart in all he said,
but think that our county is not in ia
vor Oft yet, as general thing. Dairy-
ing is only carried on as a side issue,
and a good wheat crop hurts that
branch of business. | cannot see why
we could not have the same success in
dairying as in the eastern part of this
state and in Wisconsin, where land and
hay are high and the dairy products
not as high here. A majority of farm
ers say we cannot raise so many calves
if we sell our milk. True; but would
it would not be better to raise only
half as many and have them good?
How many farmers are there that will
say there is money in raising calves
at S. head, at a year old? 1t is my
opinion that the same farmers that
chase their COWS off now will be hunt
ing for them again inside of two years.
1t is we'll known fact that our dairy
product is as good as any in the coun-
try, in our home market and for ship
ping, and when our farmers are taking
hold of it right | can see no reason
why our county can not be one of the
foremost in dairying. At the present
time it will pay the farmer to sell his
milk, as Mr.. Stewart has said, but
there is not enough interest taken by
the farmers to encourage any such en-
terprise. l for one would gladly see
20 factories in Redwood county in OPP
position to mine, for then the patrons
would be awake to their own interest
and what is good for them would sure
ly benefit me. CHAs. FLE1scHER
Republican League Meeting.
A we'll filled house attended the Re
publican league meeting on Tue 'day
evening, and heard sound doctrine
from Attorneys Somerville and Thomp-
son, of Sleepy Eye, and Madigan of
this place. Mr.. Somerville briefly
compared the record of the Republic
an party with the formless evasions
and professions of the democracy,
which latter party he claimed had
avoided making a record by doing
nothing and trying to prevent the Re-
publicans from doing anything. AS
the only available record of the ALI
ance party at hand, Mr.. Somerville
scored some good points at the ex-
pense of the last session of the Mime
sofa legislature, of fragrant memory
to all taxpayers.
Attorney Thompson directed atten,
ton to the financial record of the Re
publican party as relates to nationa
banks. He also paid his respects tc
the sub-treasury scheme advocated
by the peoples party, and showed
that the same principle had been
adopted and tried in Rhode Island
France, the Argentine Republic anc
in other countries, and in every cas-,
had brought disaster in it's train, il
short order. He counseled his audit
ors to investigate these financial ques
tions for themselves, and not be con
tent with looking at only one side O
them.
Attorney Madigan closed the speed
making by showing that any tax wa
a tariff, and that every person born in
to a civilized community was forced t
pay tariff for that privilege. MI
Madigan also insisted upon the hope
lessness of trying to build up grea
political party by an appeal to elias
prejudices.
During speaking the audience wa
repeatedly annoyed by the talkin,
and expressions of dissent from som
person in the rear, and just before ad
journment Jas. Arnold, of Vesta, aros
and moved a vote of thanks to tn
speakers, but rather illogically, not t.
say insultingly, added that what tn
speakers had said was not true an,
coupled this with the sweet assuranc
that he would speak here at som
future time. The audience heard Nj
Arnold with exemplary patience, bu
when Judge Baldwin rather waggist
ly suggested that Mr. Arnold state hi
case now, the prospect was too pail
full for the audience, and the allianc
agitator saved a stampede by decli1
ing to talk any more at that time.
great sigh of relief went up from til
crowd, which withdrew in good orde
to the stirring music of the drul
corps.
