NEW 1OTk W Orlu
The tone of sincerity which characterizes
the platform of the Minnesota Democrats is
intensified by touch Of indignation.
There is no love for the protectionist and
his theories in the Northwest. The farmers
have been aroused TO q recognition Of the
fact that they have endured the burdens
while others have reaped the benefits of the
protective system, and the situation is en-
Uttered in Minnesota by striking object
lesson in the northern part of the state
There, as the Democrats say in their plat
form, are mines, whose value, at moderate
estimate is S2o.00a0 o0 but whose owners pay
less than $4,000 a year in taxes, while ''in
exchange for the votes of 2,oo0 employees CO.
creed into voting the Republican ticket the
Republican party has covenanted to perpetu
ate this system and to deliver to these men
the government of one of the counties of
this state.
Here is a state issue akin to that which
stirs the country at large. A company of
favored capitalists are increasing their wealth
by statutes, and corruptly helping to main
tain the Republican party in power.
Minnesota has also the school issue, the
Republicans asserting the right of the state
to stand in the place of the parents and to
dictate what the children shall be taught

In no states of the Union are the eAtrava-
gances and extremes of parental government
SO grivously felt as in those of the Northwest
Minnesota is only one of several that should.
and we believe can, be taken from the Repub-
lican column.

ALMOST ENTHUSIASTIC.

Our Republican contemporary, the es-
teemed Sank Center Herald, has almost
persuaded itself to be enthusiastic over
the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nee. The case is unique, and
therefore interesting. The Herald
works itself up to the pitch of
announcing that 'Hon. KNUTE MEL
son, as governor, will lead the party to
victory unequaled in years. His name
is tower of strength. He is in touch
with the people, and they will appre-
ciate this concession to their demands.
lie is the strongest candidate possible
by good many thousand votes"
This is admirable. 1t has the ring of
genuine, fervent, expectant loyalty. 1t
is worthy of the most capable cam
paign Munchausen in the business. 1t
shows beyond peradventure that our
Sank Center contemporary is Repub-
lican 10 the core. and to the extent of
having its eye on nothing less than
staff appointment.
But. unfortunately, the thing was
trifie overdonc. The strain was too
great-the perch was too lofty-and the
Herald fell down. 1t found itself
obliged to conclude the above-ouoted
roseate eulogy with the weak confess
sion that the balance of the ticket was
selected with due reference to add
ing strength to the head" This is
manifeStly an antl-climaX. A ticket
which runs so to strength in the
head - whose head is. in fac,
Z veritable tower of Strength
Mould never he under the discouraging
oecessity of drawing on its subordinate
place-fillers for strength. A head like
that ought to be able to run on Its own
merits. That 1t isn't, however, and that
/ne Republicans of Minnesota - our
'auk Center contemporary included
.eel that it isn't, is evidenced by the
fact and the admission that the rest of
the ticket is selected with reference to
adding strength to the head" If KNUTE

THE FRENCH REpUaLIC.

In the excitement attendant on our
own political campaign and the cam
paign in Great Britain. the recent cleo
tons in France passed almost unno-
ticed. The elections were merely local
in their character and of little positive
Importance, but the results were sig
nificant as showing the stability of the
republican form of government. The
cantons elected their representatives to
the different department councils,
equivalent to our state legislatures. In
the 1.400 cantons into which France is
divided gain of over 100 was made by
the friends of the republic. This
is a very gratifying showing, and
indicates that the French republic
has come TO stay. The gains made
by the monarchical- Boulanguist fusion
III 1889 were completely wiped out,
and the republic more firmly entrenched
than ever. The French republic. by the
way, is now entitled to rank as full
grown" 1t has attained its majority,
and ii is curious to note. in this connec-
ton, that the twenty-one years of re-
publlcanism just completed break the
record for duration of government in
France during this century. LOUIS
NAPOLEON reigned eighteen years as
emperor, and shorter intervals were
allotted the republic which Immediately
preceded him, the Orleanist monarchy,

A COMPARISON.

One OF Gov. MCkINLEY'S recent ut
teranceS is TO the following effect:
We cannot have free trade in this country
without having free trade conditions The
Democratic platform demands it upon these
conditions and is bound to have it al any cost
The world knows what these conditions are
The farmers and worKingmen of England
know what they are. Thousands of men
who have worked OH both sides of the ocean
and under both systems know these con-
ditions.
What are these conditions?
The international trade of Great Brit
ain amounts to s., $50, 600, 900 a year.
For the same period, and under the
beneficent workings of the MCKINLEY
tariff, the international trade of this
country amounts to Sl,S00000, 900. which
is less than half the amount of Great
Britain's trade.
While this tariff-protected country of
ours is selling Sl,000,0O0,O0O worth of
its goods in foreign markets, Great
Britain. without our population, or re-
sources, or area, or natural productions,
but also without our tariff, sells Sl,647,-
100000 worth of her goods
These are the comparative trade con-
dltlonS under free trade and high pro-
lection. At the risk of seeming dis
courteous, the GLOBE is constrained to
contradict Maj. MckINLEY'S assertion
that 1.-THE world knows what these con-
ditions are" \ good part of the Unit
ed States doesn't know, and that is why
Maj. MCKINLEY and his bill have the
country Dy the throat But we are
learning fast, and by next November,
please Providence, we'll know enough
to shake the incubus off.

THE TOBACCO HABIT.

There will be wall of genuine an
guish from the gentlemen who ostenta-
tlously declare with expanding chest
that they have never smoked tobacco in
their lives over the latest theory which
has been advanced about the comfort
ing weed. 1t has been long known the
use of tobacco preserved the teeth. Now
comes California physician and claims
that it prevents disease in general. Ex-
periments have shown that the develop
ment of various noXiouS germs is ar
rested by contact with tobacco smoke.
The bacilli Of typhus fever and pneu-
monia curl up and die under its in
tiuence; and it is further commended
that no regular smoker has ever been
known to have the consumption. Good
lungs seem 10 accompany the habit, and
sufferers from chest and throat troubles
are advised to try its effect This is
novel, cOnSoling and important, if true.

DEMOCRACY AND TIN PLATE

The Pioneer Press, which always
hoists the Hessian flag around election
time and fights for principles in which
protectioniSm with the yIgor of a CAR
NEGIE. 1t accuses the Democracy of
disloyalty in deriding the tax on tin,
and says no patriotic American would
claim that tin plate cannot be made in
this country. The contention, it de-
clares, is ali insult to the American
people.
Neither the Democracy nor any one
else denies that our factories can turn
out tin plate if they are helped in the
undertaking by subsidies large enough
to compensate them for their losses.
There is not the slightest doubt but
that tropical fruit could be raised
in winter in the district be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, if
the state would make it an object for
somebody to embark in the industry by
voting him a bonus of $1,000 for every
banana or lemon he produced. But the
money given to the tin plate manufact-
urer to keep him going is derived from
x
as would be the fund which might make
the raising of tropical fruit in the inter-
urban region a possibility. The state
has no sources of revenue except from
taxation, and taxation means a contri-
button of part of his earnings from
every citizen. The Republican party
believes in taking part of every citi-
zen's earnings and giving it to the own
ers of tin mines that they may grow
rich. The Democracy contends that
this is all wrong; that the government
has no right to levy taxes except for its
own support. and that for it to take
from one man to give TO another is
sin and shame. 1t is not false to
American principles, but in sympathy
with them. when it takes this position.
For this reason it opposes the tax on
tin.
The history of the tin industry in this
country under the MCKINLEY law
shows the wisdom of this view. The
Pioneer Press rises above statistics in
its flights on this subject. But the fig
ures are very accessible, and have been
published in all the newspapers. The
total production of tin plate in the
United States for the nine months end
Ing March 81, 1892, amounted to $780,
600. and of almost all this the black
sheets and the tin used in covering
them were imported from Wales. All
| that was done in America was to melt
| the foreign tin and dip the black plates
| in it. Five firms were engaged in
| this business during the first three
months the law was in operation,
but four OF these have since
! abandoned it because they did not find
IL profitable. Eleven more firms tried
their hand the second quarter.and seven
of these have since surrendered. To
support an industry of this pitiful char
acter and magnitude, every laborer pays
few cents extra on the pail in which
he carries his dinner when he goes to
work, and every housewife has to econ
omiZe little on the plates on which she
serves her humble meals. The friends
of truth ought to be grateful to the Pho
peer Press for calling attention to this
vindication of the wisdom of a revenue

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Faribault Democrat thinks that "vhe
Democratic convention which met in Mime
apolis Wednesday last did splendid days
work. and out of apparent chaos evolved
ticket of magnificent proportions headed by
Hon. Daniel W. Lawler, the scholar aud ora
tor of st. Paul, whose name is household
word in every county of Minnesota"
The Winona Republican says that the
STORY is current in the Twin Cities that
Judge Wilson refused the nomination for
governor Oh the Democratic ticket because
he wants to be elected United States senator
next winter. Possibly. But more plausi-
BILE theory is that the judge did not again
want to encounter defeat at the polls"
homely truth is plainly expressed by the
Faribault Register when it says that those
6. o. p. editors who so vigorously opposed
the nomination of Knute Nelson for gov
ernor of this state were obliged to take big
dose of very bitter defeat last week. which
made some of them pretty sick"
According to the Rochester Record and
Union the Democratic state ticket is ex-
actly what was expected it would be-one of
remarkable strength. and one that will
arouse wonderful enthusiasm 1t is headed
by that young orator and able lawyer Daniel
W. Lawler, of St. Paul. to whom the nomina-
be a tower OF strength to the ticket Mr..
LAWYERS nomination will be specially pleas
ing to the younger members of the Demo
cratic party. man of sound judgment, an
able lawyer, an exceptionally eloquent
speaker. Mr.. LAWYER will make all executive
OF whom the state will be proud"
Says the Wadena Tribune: THE prevail
ing remark among the Republicans in re-
gard TO Lawler for governor is that he is a.
Roman Catholic and should not stand at the
head of our state and dish out Catholicism.
Evidently this is the only stain q they can
find on his character. LAWYER is Roman
Catholic, but this certainly adds none TO his
discredit. What matters it whether he be
Roman Catholic or protestant just so the
principle lies within. Is not this better far
than man who has not the slightest spark
OF religion about him? Church affairs in so
far as denomination is concerned, should not
by any means be confused with state af-
