IMPRO WE'D RACING APPLI.
ANCES

As each further fraction is clipped off
the troitiGg record of the horse a gen.
eral ejaculation of surprise is sounded
over the marvellous improvement breed
ing has made i'll this noblest of brute
creation. This is we'll enough, but it
should be remembered that the breed
ing and training of the horse are not
solely responsible for the continued
lowering of the speed record. Perhaps
even more than the horses increased
ability mans ingenuity in racing appli-
ances has to do with the steady progress
Of the trotting record toward the two
minute mark. The improvement in the
track must be considered, whereby the
very earth is made to spring UP under a
horses hoofs and speed him on. With
out discussing the kite-shaped track. it
Is indlSpntable that the best of our mod
ern oval tracks are several seconds
faster than their old-time predecessors.
In the shooting and harnessIng of a
horse improvements conducive TO speed
have also been made, but the greatest
factor OF all is the new bicycle sulky
with pneumatic tires. This outlandish-
looking vehicle knocked at least a Sec
ond off the record, and probably more.
But the end is not yet. Some enthusiast
out in California has invented sulky
with olock-work attachment in
its wheels, which will absolutely re-
aleve the horse OF the weight of
sulky and driver by propelling
them along as fast as the horse can
travel. You wind up your sulky and it
does the rest, the action of the horse
merely giving it direction. What next?

A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY

The GLOBE has given some of the
reasons in its discussion of the issues of
the pending national campaign. This
morning it gives another one when it
tells the history of a gigantic conspir-
acy. The profits of wheat raising in
this state are stupendous. But the
farmers do not get them.
The methods of modern business
favor the growth of combinations.
There is combination in Minnesota
which for strength, secrecy and effect
iveness surpasses anything the invent
i've genius of man has yet devised. 1t
includes the states railroads, its ele-
vator companies and the leaders of the
Republican party. Its purpose is to
control the worlds wheat supply, and
up to this point it has succeeded.
The Democracy places the evidence
in the case before the people, that they
may weigh it. 1t appears in full in a
pamphlet which will have the widest
circulation. On another page of this
mornings GLOBE it is summarized IN
as short space as its importance will
permit. No one who is interested in
tales of daring and adventure can afford
to overlook it, because the boldest
achievements in this direction yet re-
corded are here transcribed. No one
who loves this state and cares for its
progress in greatness ought to pass it
by, because it discloses the secret of
our PROSTATE industrial life, and points
out remedy.
If figures and documents can prove
anything, the compilation thus made
shows that the farmers of this state are
living in subsection to band of cruel
taskmasters. They get up early, and
toll even by the light of the moon. and
the price of the commodities they pro-
duce is fixed, not by the honest deter
mination of the law of supply and de-
mand, but by the iron will of the ele-
vatOr ring. Over their backs is swung
the lash of moneyed power, and they
take what it is their owners pleasure
to give them, or they take nothing. An
nual dividends of from 20 to 40 per cent
measure the returns of those VINO buy
at what price they will. An endlesss
struggle with poverty is the fate of those
who sell at what price they can. Wheat
rules the world, but it is the elevator
company's magnate, not the farmer.
who holds the Scepter.

The New York Leaders Are All

Stantial buildings are none too good.
When the ST. Paul factory gets to run

our machines cheaper than any other
factory in the world"

your claim that New York would give
Cleveland G0.000 plurality, and suggest
ed that you carry the tidings to

Well" remarked the veteran Demo-
crat, with hearty laugh, Il am not in

ing messages to any one, but if the
Journal will go down to New York and
see Cleveland, Hill, Whitney, Sheehan,
Murphy, or Flower, it will find that
none of them are feeling blue over the
outlook"
Mr.. Parsons has been in politics in
New York for more than thirty years.
and has been trusted adviser of Ho-
ratio Seymour, Samuel J. Tilden, Gro
yer Cleveland, David b. Hill, Edward
Murphy Jr., John Kelly, aud all the

WHEAT Is KING.

The basis of Minnesota's wealth is the
fertility of her soil. No state in the
Union, no land on Gods green earth is
more favored by Nature in all that
makes for bountiful harvests. The &C
cumulated richness of ages rests in her
bosom, and gentle showers and glad
sunshine combine to keep her fecundity
perennial.
Wheat is the civilized worlds staple
food stuff. Men can get along without
everything else, but men cannot get
along without bread. On it their lives
depend. Fancy and caprice govern in
most mundane matters. Fashions pass
away and change. Tastes alter, ana
what was popular yesterday finds no
market today. Wheat alone is superior
to such fluctuations. The demand for
it and the need of it persist and increase
with the flight of time.
Minnesota admits the existence of no
competitor in the production of this
great commodity. Her soil endures the
strain of successive crops because Its
strength is eXhaustless. The grain in
the ear reaches its full perfection be-
meath the bright. cool skies of our sum-
merS. A noble race of freemen work
ing intelligently and faithfully in our
fields make the most of Gods bounty.
We can raise wheat in Minnesota, send
it to Liverpool, 5000 miles away, and
there win the prize for quality and price
III open rivalry with the whole world.
These are extraordinary facts, but no
one disputes their truth. Wheat rules
the world, and the farmers of Mime
sofa own the wheat. The profits OF
whoever controls monopoly are enor-
nous. The man who invented the tele-
phone reaps from it revenue which
exceeds the powers of easy calculation.
And yet not one person in ten thousand
contributes to his royalties. Every man,
woman and child who breathes the vital
air pays for the Minnesota farmers prod
uct. The farmers of Minnesota ought
to be the richest class of contemporary
society. They have in their hands the
supply of The worlds greatest need.
They produce the best wheat at the
least cost. Why Is it that they do not
find their business profitable?

A STATE ISSUE,

For this condition of affairs the Re-
publican party is responsible. The
leaders in the combination are the
leaders of the Republican party. Under
the encouragement of successive Re
publican legislatures, which refused
remedial legislation, our farmers have
been reduced to serfdom. On the
issue that everything is all right,
KNUTE NELSON stands today side by
side with Il. w. CHILDs, the Republi-
can candidate for the attorney gen.
eralship, and asks the support of
the people. The railroad attorney
and the author of the report whitewash-
ing the elevator ring embody the spirit
of Minnesota's Repubiicanism concern
ing the question. AS the representa-
tives of the Republican party they
claim that the past is without blemish,
and that the future can be made no
brighter for our agricultural interests
than by a continuance of what has
been.
The enemy has twitted the Democ-
racy with concentrating the campaign
on national problems. Here is a state
problem on which it challenges discus
sion. In its own platform it said in
words that can not be misunderstood:
We denounce the rapacious and con-
scienceless combination which has grown up
in this state with the connivance of Re-
publican legislatures between the elevator
companies. the miller and the railroads, by
which our grain markets have been monop-
olized and our farmers robbed of the fruits
of their hard labors. We reaf1irm our belief
that this combination rests upon the fact
that the railroads of this state have abjured
one OF their primary functions. the provision
of suitable means for handling grain, and
have given the same over to the control of
private persons; and we again declare our
belief that the remedy, simple but efficacious.
lies in legislation requiring the roads to re-
sumo their proper Junction. thus giving to
every station free and open market.
At its own convention it nominated for
the goVernorship DANIEL w. LAwLER,
who is mo mans man and wears no
mans collar" The Democracy does
not admit that tie past in Minnesota
has been all right. 1t declares that it
has been all wrong, because it believes
