p1LLsBURy's LETTER.
Dear Sir: have been meaning to
write you for some time, saying should
be very sorry not TO have you continue
as III member of the house Of representatives
from our state as long as the people in
your district want you there, as they
evidently do. Your course has met with
the cordial approval of nearly all the
people in this state especially on the
tariff question. I think it is safe to say
that 90 per cent of the Democrats and rs
per cent of the Republicans agree with
you. Whatever different opinion there
may be as to the necessity Of having a
general reform of the tariff III order to
promote the interest Of OUT whole
country, land I am quite sure that ma
terial reduction in the tariff would help
the country as whole, there is GER
tainly no chance for difference in
opinion but that the northwest would be
immensely benefited by very material
reduction of our tariff Oh almost every
article.
L hope, whatever is done, that the
duty on jute cloth will be removed.
There is only one mandatory that ]
know Of that manufactures the jude
cloth, and they make it direct into
seamless bags. Tt would be good deal
cheaper for the m1llers OF the northwest
to buy out that institution, as under the
present tariff we probably pay for it
every year. Yours very truly,
CHARLES A. PILLsBURY.
To Hon. Knute Nelson, M. G.
In conclusion Mr.. Lawler said that he
was in favor Of fair and just protective
tarif-a high tariff as he called it-and
under all circumstances was opposed to
tariff--a low tariff as he called it-and
under all circumstances was opposed to
tariff that reached beyond that point
which he termed low tariff. He re-
ferred to the Homestead riots, and
scored Andrew Carnegie.
IT have no doubt of the verdict" con-
Guided Mr.. Lawler.
Our brethren in the east will elect Gro
YER Cleveland as sure as the sun rises on
the 9Th day of November. Loud cheers
But Minnesota proposes to swell his
majority. This time Minnesota is a
tariff reform state. 1t is Grover
Cleveland state. loud cheers.) No
tariff reformer, dressed in the worn out
clothes of William Mckinley, Jr., can be
elected governor of Minnesota this fall.
loud and continuous cheering.) It
would be unnecessary and improper
now, my fellow-citizens to take any Of
YOUR time in discussion Of state issues.
Without solicitation on my part the
Democracy OF this state nominated
me for the high position of governor. l
have been a democrat ever since my
eyes first looked upon the sun in the
great state of Wisconsin, and Iobeyed
the command of myparty. Loud cheers
T have no pledges except the pledge that
if elected to this high office I shall al
ways be the honest, faithful and humble
servant of the people of Minnesota.
loud cheers.] II your candidate is
elected governor, you will find after in
auguration that his manhood has not
been pawned to any corporate interest.
Loud and reiterated cheers.] I believe
that under the magnificent system of
election which has recently been applied
to this state, the people Of Minnesota
will break away from old party ties and
old party lines, and will cast their bal
lots in November in the light OF consci-
ence and Of intelligence, and of an en-
liphtened self-interest. The gFandest
spectacle on earth to me, IN worldly af-
fairs. is an American citizen, with only
himself and God present, registering the
verdict Of free man, and / believe that
when the ballots are counted it will be
found that the political party in Mime
sofa which has had the same intelligence,
the same courage and the same honesty
that Grover Cleveland always has had
loud cheersl will be put ID power at the
state house.
