i many bushels of wheat--two or three, say to

no class OF manufacture taat pays highly in
wages as that OF luSuries. 1t would give diver
siied employment and that always tends to the
advancement OF the community. For years

IN REGARD TO THE CURRENCY.
The Minnesota farmer has been producing
surplus for a great many years. America has
produced surplus for great many years,
that the currency OF this country to-day in coin
| Is 81 goo 600 900 in about equal proportions
OF gold and silver. When some fellow comes
around and asks You whether you do not want
a haser metal. which will drive gold, tell
him that you are producer, that you sell
| lug your surplus and that you want the best
money that the surplus win bring. If you are
going down hill and are lnsolvent and are gen
eral financial wreck, and never expect to benefit
your position. then you want to deprecate cur
rency to pay of the man you owe. But as Min
nesota produces surplus of wheat and barley.
why of course Minnesota producers farmers and
manufacturers and Wage earners want the best
| currency that the world can give"
Concluding Mr.. Davis urged upon the members
| OF the convention to go home and think the
! subject over. do your own thinking and settle
| IN your own minds that this policy is the best
for the country and place the matter before the
people in your respective localities, so that the
| people of the state can fully understand the
| issues and their bearing upon the prosperity of
| this country and be prepared to act during the
| coming contest"

10 destroy our home markets and degrade our

! such legislation as will make towards an inter-
| national agreement TO fix stap.e ratio between
the money metals.

have the hearty appreciation OF all citizens of
the Northwest for their labors in behalf OF the

from the operations of the systems whereby
food values are at the mercy OF gamblers.

the strong arms OF Benjamin Harris and
