"A well posted gentleman, says the
Winona Republican, who has just re-
turned from South Dakota, says that
while the grain elevators are full to
oyerfiowing there yet remains 35 per
cent. of the wheat crop In the hands
of the farmers. There is undoubtedly
scarcity of cars, but this condition
of affairs is being overcome rapidly.

port favorably tonight upon his prop
osition to pay $500 and furnish the
free use of his pump at any time dur
ing the next five years that the city
pump fails. At least two of the COM
mittee favor it, and probably the
three. There is little doubt but that
the report will be accepted
Congressman Lind is good at il
Illustrations. A farmer one day asked
him if it was true, as some of the Dem
ocrats alleged, that the tariff law was
responsible for the Homestead strike.
The answer was: ''yes, the tariff is
responsible for the Homestead strike
just the same as you farmers are re-
sponsible for potato bugs; you grow
potatoes and thus give the the bugs
something to live and thrive upon; if
you raised no potatoes, there would be
no bugs. The tariff encourages and
fosters manufactures; take away the
tariff and there would be no factories;
and if there were no such great indus
tries, there would be no strikes. "-Er-
