Facts and Figures .

Facts and Figures.
When thelast Minnesota legislature
made appropriations amounting to
one million dollars, a hue and cry of
extravaganza was directed against
that body, and especially against the
alliance members thereof. The con-
gress at about the same time made
appropriations amounting to a sum
total OF One Billion Dollars and
hardly voice has been heard against
it.
Now, for a few figures.
There are in the Union forty-four
states, and including the territories
we will, for convenience, call it an
even fifty. Let us now divide the
billion by fifty, and we find that each
state and territory will have just 20
million dollars to pay to make up
this Billion. But as the states are
not all alike in population, we will
look at the last census reports, and
we find that Minnesota has a popula-
ton of l, 3O1, S26, which places her as
an average state, and she will conse-
quently have topay herfull quota, or
just 20 million dollars. A tax levy
of 20 millions in one year! Do the
people know it? Then, why don't
they speak? The republicans OF
course are the ones that have done
it, and the democrats are awaiting
their chance to do likewise. Bro,
there was no real difference in the
votes by parties-E. w. FL If any
Minnesota legislature should even
have attempted to make a tax levy
of 20 millions in one year the people
would have made short work with
the members OF that legislature and
deservedly, but when republican
congress has done that very thing
it appears to be taken as a matter OF
course. Right here, an idea strikes
me: Would it not be d good plan to
collect all state and municipal taxes
by the way OF duty on imports?'
People wouldn't feel it then, wouldn't
know it, and no grumbling would be
heard. 1t strikes me that is the case
when Uncle Sam collects his 20 mil
lions a year from the people OF Min
nesota. C. AHLNEss.
Several parties have recently STOP
ped a sheet whose mission it is to
stand between plutocracy and the al
lance and fight both ways and have
done SO on account OF the recent at
tacks upon ''Donnelly & Fish, The
assaults are upon DonneIly's record
in Congress. We have not read the
first line yet of any OF these assaults
of Republican Gum Hompe de-
pend upon what has been told us. As
for Donnelly's voting for land grants
in the eos, he did SO. and so would
any other patriot-and for the Pacif-
ic Railway bills. No man had yet
dreamed OF the perfidious robberies
of the subsequent periods-and the
land grant-in it's infancy-with one
half the country unpeopled, was
thought wise and just. The explosion
of the Credit Mobilier awoke the ma
ton! The letters a noisy fellow by
the name of HOskins and Il. G. Hodg-
son are writing, are rich literature.
Both lie before us.

Land Titles.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Is there any title to land that is
good in the United States to-day?
I claim there is not. When the pa
tents OF this great nation are not
worth the cost OF the ink on them,
what other titles can hold good
against corporate greed? The late
decision OF the .. S, Supreme Court
has set a precedent that in the near
future may rise to plague the cor
poration robbers. What a grand
opportunity for President Harrison
to call upon congress to pass a
Credit Strengthening Act" and
make government patents on land
good!-and uphold the honor OF the
nation at home.

THE democratic cry of "Retrench-
ment and Reform" is disclosed to the
people as humbug. 1t was known
to be a humbug when the democratic
leaders took it up. They knew that
the only place where retrenchment
was possible was in the pension ap-
preparation and they also knew that
no reduction there was possible while
there was republican president and
senate. The measure for reducing
pensions has not been framed and
will not be until all departments of
the government become democratic.
Then it will come, along with tree
silver coinage and free trade.

THE Waco Day mistakes in saying
that the legislature that is to be
elected this fall is for Mr.. Clark. The
whole uperstructure of the state
pelitics ramifies itself into the con-
gressional and legislative contests.
The Hogg machinery is operating in
all and directing all. No man can
run either for congress or the state
legislature without it is as Hoggite
or an anti Hoggite. He must show
his colors, nolens, volens. 1t is not
credible that Clark has the majority
of the legislature unless he has the
majority of the county delegations,
and these he has not.

AN extensive conspiracy among the
conductors and ticket agents Of the
Santa Fe has been unearthed at
Kansas city. Its operations extend
to other roads, and the Santa Fe Is
the loser of untold revenue by the
frauds perpetrated on it by its en-
ployes and agents. The spoilers
and detectives have been on the track
for some weeks, but the trail was
well covered and it was difficult to
secure any, evidence of crookedness.
The end has come and some whole
sale discharges are expected on the
Santa Fe and the roads that have
entered into collision with it to de-
fraud.

MUHLHAUsER, the shOddy manu-.

hauser says that he will put up
$4,000 as forfeit if Vest will select
the shoddy cloth about which he has
so much to say from wool fabrics, the
two being submitted to him in the

that Vest has been airing his ig.
norance in congress on matters OF
which he assumes a knowledge but
of which he is profoundly ignorant.

tor in that fix.

THE present congress is going to
appropriate just as much money as
the "billion dollar" congress did. The
only difference is that they have
worked with no regard to the needs
of the public business, but simply
with a regard to make q record of
economy before the people. The re-.
suit is that the public business is
crippled with injudicious cuts where
money is really needed, and still the
record is one of more money spent
than in the previous congress.
