DISTRICT DELEGATE.

Blue Earth county is entitled to
and we believe will be freely accorded
one of the delegates from the second
congressional district to the Republi-
can National Convention. While the
matter has received little or no con-
sideration among the mass of the
party workers in this county, and
hence no one among the many parti-
cularly discussed in this connection,
the name of Hon. L. G.. M. Fletcher
has been incidentally mentioned, and
the FREE PRESS is glad to have the
opportunity to bring his name to the
attention of he Republicans of the
Republicans of the district, Mr..
Fletcher is a Republican OF long
standing and honorable attachments,
and while he has not, to our knoWl-
edge, been approached upon the ques-
ton, it is believed that he would &C
cept such an honor with gra teful
consideration. This district is second
to none in the state in point of politi-
cal Importance 1t is concededly the
safestRepublican district in the state,
and as such should be represented in
the National councils of the party by
it's strongest and best men.
If the Republicans of Blue Earth
county will unite upon Mr.. Fletcher
and ask for his selection as delegate,
there is little reason to doubt that it
will, as before stated, be freely given
to him. No more representative gen
tleman can be chosen, nor one whose
best efforts will be found working in
direct harmony with the essence OF
true Republican principles.
Let the friends of Mr.. Fletcher ''get
together" and ask that he be sent to
Minneapolis.

A FINE SHOWING.

When the Mckinley bill was under
consideration, one of the chief objec-
tiOnS urged against it was that it
would interfere seriously with our
foreign commerce. If such were the
case some of the bad results ought to
present themselves by this time.
However, the report of the Bureau of
Statistics settles this objection in a
most satisfactory manner. 1t proves
that the assertion that the tariff law
is a sort of a Chinese wall around
the nation is absolutely false and
without foundation whatever.
During the twelve months ending
March 81, 1892, the foreign commerce
of the United States was greater by
1874, 276, 22S than for the preceding
twelve months, and exceeded that of
1888 by 1912, l25, 600 Thus it is seen
that the dire forbodings of the free
traders have failed to materialize,
and the country has prospered as nev-
er before.
Nor does the free trade assertion,
that the increased foreign demand for
our farm produce is the cause for our
increased commerce hold good. For
not only have our exports increased
but our imports also. For the year
ending March 81, 1892, our imports
amounted to $685., 058,5S5. This is
greater than were the imports for
the previous year, during which time
there was such great rush to avoid
the supposed high duties of the Nc
Kinley law
But because the imports have in
creased it does not necessarily follow
that the people paid greater duty
thereon. In fact, the report of the
Bureau of Statistics shows the re-
verse to be the case. OF the 1887, O5S. $50
worth of imports, S46l, Alb, 523 came in
duty free; while the value of those
that paid duty was 1876, $50, O52. In
other words, 55 per cent. of the i'm
ports under the new tariff came in free
against 81 per cent. during the last
year of the old tariff.
AS a nation we have sold more goods
abroad under the Mckinley law than
formerly and have larger cash bal
ance in our favor. At the same time
we have purchased more goods abroad
but have not exceeded our sales. We
have also bought more American
goods than formerly. The Mckinley
law has not interfered with trade,
but has been healthy stimulus to it.
1t has not been oppressive; one of our
commercial agencies reported recent
ly that prices ruled Is per cent. lower
than ever before. The act is doing
the beneficial work for this country
which its friends predicted for it and
the time has not yet arrived when it
wants reforming" by the so-called
tariff reformers."

PROSPEROUS FAGTERS.
Blue Earth County Farmers Paying
Their Mortgages
Their Profits Invested in More Land
A Good Showing.

Inc mortgage records IN Register
Bierbauers office tell a Gathering tale
Of the prosperity of the farmers of
Blue Earth county. Despite some
Alliance pessimists, this has long
borne the enviable reputation of be-
ing one of the richest agricultural
counties in the state and Northwest,
and the figures below simply add to
the burden of proof.
The mortgages and satisfactions re-
corded from May 1st, 1891. to date are
scattered through dozen huge
volumes, but several hours of hard
work brought results that must prove
| of interest and value to all.
The sum of the mortgages of all dis
criptions placed upon farm lands
within the time mentioned foots up
to SOL, 7O3.35. OF this amount, $780,
600 was placed as part of the consi-
deration for newly purchased land,
leaving 1922, 703. 30 as having been
borrowed for other purposes. But it
is more than probable that a portion
of this should be added to the pur-
| chase mortgages, while another large
part is really renewals Of mortgages
previously given.
The satisfactiOns foot up to 1884,.
900. This leaves an apparent excess
OF mortgages of 1921, 703 35, which in
cludes many renewals.
Leaving out of consideration the
mortgages given upon newly pur-
chased property, the satisfactions ex-
coed the the remaining mortgages
by $3l, 296.65.
But correct idea of the matter
cannot be had without an explana
tion. The past two years have been
prosperous ones for the farmers.
Last years profits were devoted to
| the payment of old debts and the
| wiping out of mortgages which had
often been standing for five or six
years. Consequently the satisfac-
tions last year amounted to half more
than during the past twelve months.
On the other hand, the money made
| during the past year has been put in
to more land therefore more mort
cages than usual appear upon the
records.
| foot up more than usually and exceed
| the satisfactions is that during the
year farmers have been able to borrow
larger amounts than ever before upon
their lands, owing their increased
values.
All these things go to show the in
creased prosperity of our farmers.
While the Alliance hired lecturers
and speakers may claim that the
placing of mortgages indicates the
impoverished condition of the far
mers, the opposite is the case. In
their prosperity the farmers reach
out and secure adjoining forties and
eighties and pay half or three-fourths
down and give mortgage for the re-
| mainder. Had they the amount of
the mortgages which they have given,
they would have bought more land,
instead OF paying in cash the full
amount of their purchases. This is
proper, for it is poor land that will
not pay the interest on a mortgage
| and return fair income to the own
er besides.
Blue Earth county farmers were
never SO well off as today, and this is
shown by the rapid rise in the values
of farm lands, the new barns and
| houses going UP in all directions, and
the many signs of comfort and con-
yenience about their homes.
