Democratic Government viii
Bring Better Times, Says Mr..
DuPant.
Give the Democratic party a little
chance" said Hon. E. w. Durant, of
Saltwater, to Capt. Cross, of ST. Paul,
yesterday, at the Merchants. LET me
see." he continued thonghtfully.
Twenty days from ROW will be the 18th
of September. By that time you will
see change for the better. 1t is folly,
however. to charge that the hard times
are owing TO the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland"
81 have never charged that returned
Capt. Cross pleasantly. at is true,
however. that some of our most en-
thusiastic Republicans, and some of the
leaders of the party, have done it. |
think the cause lies deeper. and do
not feel like laying every calamity at
the door of an opposition political
party"
You are right, captain" added Mr..
Durant. ''As | observed, the lower
house has passed the repeal bill. There
is no chance that the senate will stop
the good work. They will not act pre-
cipilately. but they are sure to take the
same course that was pursued by the
house.
"How are times in Saltwater? Why,
feel free to say that Saltwater is the
most prosperous city iii the state. We
have not felt the hard times half as
ho in n
numbering trade is good, although the
prices are not SO nigh for the products
as they have been in times past. We
have an abundance of money, and we
will weather tie storm with compare
lively little difficulty"
a - he exhibits made by the farmers
and stock breeders of Minnesota at tie
worlds fair have won great deal OF
merited fame for our state" said Col.
Clark Ch9mbers, of Uwa,onna, at the
Merchants yesterday.
That is true" joined Carl Juds0n, of
! Pennington. Il see that our horse men
have carried off the blue ribbons. That
| reminds me- am going to SEMI 4 tel
egram to G. \. Cusgrove. of LIE Sueur,
cougratulating him upon his success in
this particular. lie beat the best horses
of all the older states, and he surprised
the breeders of The country who knew
little of Minnesota
''Do you know said john Byers, of
! Hastings. ''that the best horses and
cattle in the entire country are being
bred in this state? The climate and the
conditions are all conducive 10 this end,
and the results were shown in Chicago"
But the best feature Of Mr. Cos
groves exhibit is that every animal
that ne showed there MAS bred by hm
| on his own farm, added Mr.. Chambers.
1T is an easy matter for any one to mi
about the country and collect first prize
| animals, If he has the money, at such
times as these. and then exhibit them
| and carry off the blue ribbons. Nh.
| Cosgrove, however. did nothing of this
sort. lie raised every animal himself,
| and the credit OF beating the country is
\ due 10 him." tr
Eyes, this is the best climate on earth
| for raising strong and rugged stock.
| persisted Mr.. BgerS. Il have been III
! the business good many years, ana
let me say, as an Illustration of the
| point that l wish To emphasize, that [
! have never known of an instance of
real hog cholera in the state. have
butchered good many i'll my tine, and
| have never found a trace of a disease
of any kind whatever"
minnesota is new state" inter-
rupted Col. Chambers, ''but 1t stands
nearly at the head of the list. For in
stance, as far back as when the New
Orleans exposition was held, Steele
! county carried off some of the best, OIL
really the first premiums on butter
Prior to that time Orange county, New
York, was supposed to stand unrivaied
Then Minnesota took first premiums fol
| fruits, too. although we are advertised
as living in frgid country, where NJ
fruits can be raised"
''It would have been lasting dis
grace" said Mr.. ByerS. "had the legis
lature refused TO pass the worlds fail
appropriation last winter. The fact is
that the farmers and the business mel
| in general OF the East are totally igno
rant of the resources and al vantage!
that we can show. The exhibits that
our farmers have made in Chicago
| prove that we take first rank, and all
this could not nave been done had
not the appropriation been made
And Mr.. Byers and the party then Wen
10 supper.
