events that are transpiring around us
every day, that what was obscure a
few years ago is becoming more plain
and simply at the present time. Time
and experience are the great solvents
of all social problems. The great body
polite is like a child struggling up into
higher and better life. Slowly and
doubtfully his every step is taken in
advance and painfully and with humili-
alton does he recover from every fall.
So the lamp OF experience is the great
light by which its feet can be guided.

Judge d. B. Searle opeped the con-
gressional campaign at West Duluth,
Saturday, Oct. Is, to very large and
enthusiastic audience. 1t was impossible
for more than half of the crowd to get
into the hall at any time while he was
speaking. He was frequently interrupt
ed by applause and cheering during his
speech. Judge Searle said:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen:
am glad of this opportunity to meet
the people of West Duluth, not only to
discuss some of the issues involved in
this campaign, but to become person.
ally better acquainted with your peo-
pie. Standing as we do-at the head
of this great Lakeland at the gateway
of this great northwest, with all the
natural resources of wealth at your
door, and the superior advantages OF
this location as great commercial
centre, although not having the gift of
prophecy, l firmly believe that Duluth
is in the near future, destined to be one
of the greatest manufacturing and CON-
merclal centres in the United States
the rival OF the twin cities of St. Paul
and Minneapolis, as we'll as of Chicago
and Pittsburg. -
"The people of the new Sixth district
Of Minnesota bear a very important re-
lation to the balance OF the country.
We possess within our borders immense
forests of the most valuable timber
ready for the woodman's ak and ready
for the magic touch OF labor and cap
ital to convert the raw material, and
the finest beds Of iron ore, both in quail
ity and quantity, that perhaps exist in
the world, as well as millions of acres of
agricultural lands that return a hun
dred fold to the tiller of the soil. To
add to the value of all these Industries
we have cheap transportation to the
markets by wav OF the great lakes,
through the gates of your beautiful
cities of Duluth and West Duluth. Here
the coal, the iron and timber can all be
brought together at the least possible
cost to build one of the greatest manu-
featuring and commercial cities in the
United States"

SILVER COINAGE.

and Peoples Party Contrasted.
"There is another question which it
seems to me should briefly cover: that
is the question as to the free coinage OF
silver. The Republican party, as a
party, is in favor Of an honest currency
in which gold and silver alike shall be
worth one hundred cents on the dollar
The Democratic party, as a party, in
congress has advocated and the Peo-
ples' party in their platform do advo-
cate the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. The Republican party is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver as
standard money under such provisions
OF the legislature, or treaty stipulations
with other countries, as will secure and
maintain the parity of value of the coin
in the dollar of the two metals. So that
the purchasing and debt-paying power
Of one, without the aid Of the govern
ment fiat shall be at all times substan.

s"There is less pauperism in this
country than in any other country in
the world. We have upwards of 65,-
600, 900 OF people, and we have, accord
ing to the New York World, about Is,
900 paupers. England has about
thirty eight million people, and it has a
million paupers.
"The laboring classes save more
money on their wages in this country
than in any other. For instance, the
state Of New York has a population Of
1000, 900, 100000. of which are
wage-earners. It is said that these
1900, 900 people today have on deposit

Out of the population of England 49,.
OOO, 900 are wage-earners, they, accord.
ing to statistics, have in banks ol
Great Britain about $3.50, 100000.
II wish now to recur to the condition
Of labor and say that notwithstanding
it is true that the condition of the
working people has greatly improved
in every way in the last few years, yet
am not blind to the TACT that a great
number Of persons are worked to the
utmost OF their strength, or else are
occupied SO many hours per day that
they have no time for recreation
Hence there is want in the midst o
plenty. What can be done to help thest
Glasses into a better condition? Edu

cation wonld do much in this direction.
CAS- labor becomes more skillful and
intelligently directed, it secures to itself
an increasing share of a large and
larger product. But every one cannot
be skilled and educated. Wemust meet
conditions as they are. In my opinion
we find the cause of the condition of
this class of labor in emigration that
we are now receiving in this country.
A few years ago large majority Of the
emigrants that sought homes with us
were a superior class of people. They
constructed our railways, they built up
our cities, came into this great wilder
ness OF the northwest and subdued it,
and it blossomed like the rose. They
added immensely to the development
and wealth of the country and such
people should always be welcome to our
shores. [Applause.] But OF late years
the tide is turned. We are becoming
the dumping ground of the criminals
and the professional paupers of Europe.
This class now composes an increasing
share of our emigration. This should
be stopped, [Great applause.] Think
you understand by this time that l am
protectionist. believe that Amer lean
labor should be protected from this
criminal population. [Applause.] In
my opinion a law should be passed, if
one does not already exist, and if it
does exist it should be strictly enforced,
prohibiting such classes from coming to
this country, and thus protect our
workingmen from the competition OF
this class OF labor, which interferes in a
most distressing manner with u class
least able to bear it. [Applause.] l
wish to further say that the most just
and liberal legislation is due to the
laboring classes-that they may obtain
and enjoy their just rights and Dues"

Democrats and Republicans-absOlu tely
non-partisan in it's nature-to investi-
gate and report, among other things,
upon wages, domestic and foreign.
This committee selected the different
general industries employing laborers.
Following is their report: "By COM
parison of the rate of wages current in
September, 1891, in the, United States
and Great Britain, in same occupations,
it would appear that wages IN the
United States in these occupations
averaged II per cent. greater than in
Great Britain And the same senate
committee reported that wages are
still on the increased in the United States
and the cost of living on the decrease
The report is substantially confirmed
by the records of the census depart
ment.
edward Atkinson, the great stats.
tieian and apostle Of free trade in AM
erica, says in his work on Industrial
Progress of the Nation: The purchas-
ing value of a day labor has increased
in the last thirty years from 40 to 70
per cent. according to the grade and
skill of the workmen. But free traders
assert that this great difference in wages
between the two countries, and the ire
mendous rise in wages in this country
during the period Of protection, is not
due to the tariff First, because con-
ditions are not the same. This is, they
claim, a new country, and rapidly de-
veloping, and therefore wages, are
higher than in an old country, but I
would like to ask those statesmen if
the country is any newer now then it
was thirty years ago? And yet, wages
are 40 per cent. higher now than they
were then. 1t is true the country is de-
veloping more rapidly, but it is because
we have protective and not free trade
policy
"The most foolish of all assertions
made against the protective policy, is
that it does not help the wage-earners
here in America. If it does not help
them, why are wages II per cent.
higher here than in free trade England?
Why have wages increased in the last
thirty years 40 per cent, while their
wages have only increased 16 per cent?
Why is the purchasing power of
days wages in the United States al
most twice great as in Great Britain?
These are questions for free traders to
answer with actual facts and statistics,
and not with assertions as they have
heretofore done.

THE GREAT QUESTIONS.
Peculiar Interest Of theSixth Minnesota
-. j. District in All Of Them.

Elm discussing the great problems OF
the day ain impressed with the fact
that the Sixth district OF Minnesota,
and the whole Northwest. is as directly
interested in finding a solution of the
great economic questions that now agi-
tate the public mind, as is any part OF
the United States. We want to know
what is the best thing to do to develop
these great resources. It is not a
matter Of sentiment or craftsmanship,
but it is q matter of great business
Importance. To those who read the
signs of the times, it is plain that the
destiny Of humanity, for centuries to
come, will probably be determined by
the manner in which the political and
social questions now forcing themselves
to the front, are met by this genera
tion. These questions are: First,
the question of taxation or tariff; sec
sond, protection to American industrie
and American labor; third, our financial
policy, and fourth, the questions Of
cheap and equitable transportation fol
our people and products.
I'll am aware that the question 81
tariff has been fully discussed by theo.
rists, and our most prominent states
men for many years, and that it may
seem presumptious on my part to seek
- 4sg -
to enlightsn you, or find solution fol
question that has bafiied the greatest
minds Of the age. However, the exper-
fence Of humanity is adding day by day
to our knowledge Of these questions

things are being so sharply defined b,

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION
Importance Of this Question to This
District and the Northwest.

II wish now to refer to the trans
portation question. To the people of
the Northwest and the Sixth district
there is another question that presents
itself to us with the greatest promise
1t is the question of transportation
and the growing commerce of the great
lakes.
1.-The average cost of transportation
of railways of the country was about
nine-tenths of a cent per ton per mile
during the year 1891, while the aver
age cost of transportation upon the
lakes was as near as can be ascertained
one-tenth of a cent per ton per mile.
The traffic of the great lakes was last
year about 81 per cent of all the rail-
ways in the United States for the same
year. am credibly informed that there
we're 1. 100 more vessels passing through
the canal into Duluth during the year
1891 than passed through the Suez
canal during the year previous, and
that there passed through the 500
canal, at the outlet of Lake Superior,
nearly a million and three-quarters
more tons offreight than passed through
the Suez canal during the same period.
The annual saving OF this freight traffic
to the country may be better appre-
ciated, when it is stated that had the
same amount of freight been carried on
the railways of'the country that was
carried upon the lakes last year and
charged for at the current rates rail-
roads charge for such freights, it would
have cost the country $15O,OOO,O0O
more than was actually paid. With
these important facts before us, We can
not have too high an appreciation OF
the nece ssity of deepening all the chan
nels, communicating the great lakes, so
that there will be nowhere between
Duluth, Chicago and Buffalo, anything
but a deep water channel, and the
people of the northwest should never
rest satisfied until there is ship canal
constructed through American territory
from the great lakes to the sea. have
not the slightest doubt but that Duluth
will in the next fifteen years, or twenty
at the outside, receive into her habor
o cean-going vessels from every port on
| the high seas.

OUR IRON INDUSTRIES.
st. Louis County's iron Interests ant
the Protective Policy.

$50 we'll known are the benefits &C
cruing to the development of the whole
iron industries of Pennsylvania from
the policy of protection, and the en-
hancement of agricultural values aris-
ing therefrom, that no man could go
to congress from any of those districts
whether he was a Democrat or Re-
publican, unless he was at the same
time in favor of protection.
"We ofthe Sixth district of Minnesota,
are similarly situated. We have an
opportunity of developing the finest
iron industry of the world, and OF
building up one OF the greatest
manufacturing and commercial centres
in the United States at Duluth and
thereby creating a home market for
our agricultural products, that will
enable the farmers of the Sixth district
to diversity and double the value of
their crops and consequently double
the value of their farms. Sostrong are
my convictions upon this subject, that
I have no hesitancy in saying, that
whether he be- Republican, a Democrat,
or Populist, that's elected to congress
this fail from this district, he will be a
traitor to the best interests of this
district, if he does not vote and work
for protection.
"But l will now turn to the stock
argument of free traders that the tariff
promotes monopolies. have not time
to discuss this question only to say
that there is kind of monopoly or
trust in which private capitalists CON-
bine and conspire together to control
the market of some particular article
in commerce. Such are the STANDARD
Oil trust. whisky trust, etc: Such mon
Opolis as these are great evil, and
should be abolished and prohibited by
the government. The point wish to
make is, that those monopolies and
trusts exist quite as extensively in free
trade England as they do in America.
The reason for the existence OF monopo-
lies or trusts must be sought for out
side of u free trade or protective policy,
and their solution will not be found in
the abolition, of one or the triumph of
the other. The only monopoly that
the protective policy fosters is to secure
to American manufacturers American
markets. If that is what free traders
mean by fostering monopolies, they
can make the most OF it. 1t is doubt
less true that men of great business
capacity will amass much money in
any line of industry that they may fol-
low, but in no event can the growth of
large fortunes be laid to the charge OF
a protective policy. On the contrary,
the benefit of protection goes alike to
the mechanic, agriculturist and the
manufacturer. In proof of this point
with pride to the fact, that in no coun.
try, in the world is comfort enjoyed,
education acquired and independence
secured by so large a proportion of the
total population as in the United
States

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.
What the Agricultural Population Owe
to Our Tariff System.

"But now let us turn to our agricul-
tural. interests and see whether they
have prospered or not. There has in
the last few years come to the front in
this country, number of the so-called
statesmen and orators who supplement
the Democratic party and who in many
instances have fused with them. They
are devoting their whole time in an ef-
fort to arouse an unnatural jealousy
and antagonism in the mind of the
agriculturists against our manufacture
ing interests. This ia all wrong. Agri-
culture and manufacture are twin Sis
ters. They cannot be separated with
out violence to both: As one grows
the other advances. As one is checked,
the other halts. They sustain and
build up each other. If I am not able
to prove to you that agriculture has
been benefited by this policy of Ameri-
can protection, then I am willing to
admit that it is not good policy, and
it should be abandoned.
"But let us turn to another phase of
this question. Mr.. Dodge, statistician
Eof the United States department of ag-
riculture, few years ago divided the
states of the union into four groups,
according to the extent of the manu-
featuring industries. In the first group,
where manufacturing Industries were
well distributed and largely furnished a
home market for the farmer, farm lands
were worth $47 per acre and the average
value OF the farm products per man,
1887 per annum. In the second group,
where manufactures were less plentiful,
farm lands averaged $34 per acre, and
the farm products averaged 1894 per
man. In the third group, where go pei
cent. of the workers were farmers and
manufacturing industries were very
poorly distributed, farm lands averaged
500 per acre and the farm products
averaged $261 per man. In the fourth
group, where 70 per cent. of the labor
ers were farmers and the manufacture
ing industries were almost unknown
the value of farm lands averaged IS
per acre and the value OF farm products
averaged only $161 per man. ~
"Now when we come to further con
slider that the policy Of reciprocit,
adopted by the present ADMINISTRATION
which is a supplement- to the protective
policy, is opening new markets contin
ually for millions Of dollars Of agricul
ural and manufactured productions
this country may well look forward t,
the most prosperous era It has ever en-
Ijoyed. This policy OF reciprocity ha
already added more than 8 50, 0OO, OO'
to American exports and this is bene
at chiefly accruing to the farmers.
