Congressman Lind Declares that he will
not Vote For it.
Davis Commends him, and Hall SAYS It
will Strengthen him Politically.
Congressman Lind, who has all along
been supposed to be in favor of free
coinage of silver, has announced that
ne will not register his vote in favor OF
the Bland bill. He says: The passage
OF q free coinage act would not increase
the volumn of money in the country.
We arc. now utilizing all the silver we
produce as basis for legal tenders.
Our per capita of circulation is daily
increasing under the operation OF the
law passed by the last congress, and in
manner that involves no possible risk.
For these reasons, { will not vote for
free coinage at this time, although be-
lieve that is the only way to ultimately
obtain true bimetallism, unless it can
be effected by international agreement,

adopted the most sensible course and
one that greatly pleases his constituents.

country is fully employed as basis of
currency, there is nothing further to BE-
desired in the way Of coinage legislation.
Mr.Lind finds the present law adequate
and will oppose any change that tends
to initiate or debase the currency

that Lind has greatly strengthened his
position before the people of Minnesota

Fl, A. Roth, one of the Oldest resi-

Lake Prairie near LIE Sueur last Friday
morning. Had he lived he would have
been eighty years of age next summer.
SO that it was to old age chiefly that his
death was due, He was resident of
New Ulm for good many years and
was quite we'll known, owing to his
connection with the Continental Insur-
ance company for which, with his sons
he did a successful business. He never
