MINNESOTA HOMES.

The statistics of farms, homes and
mortgages in Minnesota as ascertain
ed by the census of 1890 shows that of
the III, 1893 farm families 99,91l, or
a. Is per cent, own their farms, and
II, 9S2, or rs per cent. ,rent.Of those
who own 46. 80 per cent. have incum-
brances thereon. This does not show
such bad state of affairs
as the professional agitators try to
make out, especially as the debt con-
tracted is for purchase money in all
but very small per cent. of cases
and is rapidly being liQuidated.
In cities of over 5000 inhabitants,
but not including Minneapolis and St.
Paul, taking and average 100 families,
81. 46 hire their houses, SO own with
membranes and 34.65 own without
incumbrance. OF this group of cities
Duluth has the largest per cent. OF
renters-63 93, Saltwater follows
with 1921, and Mankato's percentage
SO. 33-is the smallest. In Minneapo'
lis and St. Paul the percentage OF
home owners is small, being 81 fol
Minneapolis and 40 for st. Paul.
Thus the farmers are shown to De
more generally home owners than the
! denizens of cities, but this is partial
ly accounted for by the fact that
MANY persOns prefer 10 pay rent in
stead,of spending their money fol
takes, insurance and repairs, claim
ing that in the long run it is TIT
cheapest.
The showing for Mankato is an ex
ceedingiy good one and shows it to b.
eminently city of homes. 1t i
only another illustration of it's sole
growth, and speaks more eloQuentl.
than can words. of the contentmen
of it's citizens.

THE first party to testify before
the house ways and means committee
was representative from the Bur-
muda Islands who appeared in the in
terest of raisers of early vegetables
there, and wanted reduction of the
duties upon their products. Hs~ass
sured the committee that as regards
their products, at least, the foreigner
pays the tax. After all that has been
said by the free traders that it was
paid by the consumer, it is somewhat
amusing that committee supposed
to have been appointed fer the pur'
pose of framing tariff along free
trade lines, should run upon this con-
frmation of a Republican assertion,
the very first thing.

THE LESSON THEREFROr1.

The victory which has been won by
the Minnesota exhibitors at the stock
show at the worlds fair, can be turn
ed to good advantage by the farmers
of Minnesota if they but note the les
sons contained therein. Not every
farmer in the state can become a
breeder of fine stock and enter the
list for prizes. That in itself is OF
matter of small account, but they can
become the posSessors-- OF well bred
stock and thereby add to the value OF
their farms. They can also add great
ly to the dairy interests OF the state,
and through this to their own wealth
and comfort, They can produce fine
horses, such as are wanted everywhere
in the markets. The chance is now
open to them; the attention of the
world has been called to the possiblll'
ties of the state, and the FREE PRESS
greatly mistakes the temper OF the
farmers of Minnesota if it is not i'm
proved to the full measure. There is
no state in the Union better situated
for the development of the dairy and
live stock business than Minnesota
Her fine grasses and water is unriyal
ed, and the quality of the products
as has been shown by the past tests
is second to none, and it needs bu1
little pushing on the part of our PEG
pie to reach the topmost round o
success. The lesson to be extracted
from the success Of the Minnesota ex
hibit at the worlds fair is tina
the best in everything pays and tina
success in these days Of close competi
tion depends upon the using of tn
most improved methods in any line o
business in connection with energ
and push.

r1INNESOTA'S WOODS.

A worlds fair dispatch says:
The judges in the department of
forestry have not yet rendered their
official report, but enough is known Of
deliberations to make Minnestoans
proud of their exhibit. They have re-
ported very favorably on the display
of the North Star state, three cardinal
features of which they highly COM
mend.
The first feature is the arrangement
of log specimens illustrative of the
useful woods Of the state, in connec-
tion with which is registration of
all the ages of the trees, with an ex-
PLANTATION of their characteristics and
uses. The commercial features of
Minnesota's forestry exhibit also re-
ceived the emphatic approval of the
judges. In artistic arrangement and
ornamental beauty, these manufac-
tured specimens cannot be eXcelled by
other states.
A third feature of Minnesota for
estry as shown at the fair is it's prairie
phases, as illustrated by maps and
drawings of wind-breaks and shelter
breaks.
1t is understood that the judges
were also much impressed with the
beautiful perspective of the exhibit
as whole.

r1ANKATO ALL RIGHT.

With the opening of the banks to-
day Mankato again stepped into the
regular channels of trade. There is
nothing which has better illustrated
the solid growth of the city and the
stability ,of it's business institutions
than the strain it has just experience
ed. Though we have passed through
one of the Severest financial Stringen-
cies in the history of the country, and
our banks were closed for the period
Of one month because of scare
among the people, not business
house in the city has closed its doors.
and our industrial institutions are in
a flourishing condition. The bust
ness ability of the city has undergone
a severe strain, but has responded
nobly. The result shows the good
judgment which has been exercised
and the careful manner in which
every detail has been locked after.
Trade under the circumstances has
been good and is constantly on the in
crease;building and various improve
ments in all parts of the city are be-
ing pushed ahead and our old time
prosperity looms up at every hand. To-
day our banks open again stronger
than ever before, and commanding
the confidence of our people, who now
see how senseless were their fears.
Mankato is all right and no more solid
and prosperous city can be found in
the northwest. The lesson taught by
the past months experience is valu-
able one, for it has shown the people
how strong we are, and the lesson so
taught will no doubt be needed
through the future and so prevent
the recurrence of anything of the
, kind again.

WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

There is a cry going up from various
ouarterf of the state, and especially
from the western and northwestern
portions, for more men to help in
threshing. Here is chance for men
out of employment and at fair wages.
The Minneapolis Journal says that
men enough to supply the demand
cannot be secured. This indicates
that the financial scare is passing
away and matters are again resuming
their normal condition. There may
be instances, where men will not go
out of the city to accept work, but
we believe these cases prove few
where a man has others dependent
upon him and nothing to in the cities,
1t is said, however, that there are a
few skilled worKmen who have been
used to high wages who decline to go
into the country to work for the wages
offered. If such men have sufficient
means on hand to tide them through
until another spring they are fortu-
nate indeed, but if not, it would
seem that they were pursuing an uns
wise course in not accepting the
chances of work offered. La these
times when business men are running
at close margin or loss, and every
one is economizing because of the
close times, such parties will receive
but little sympathy from the public,
if they refuse to improve the chances
now presented them. With the many
volunteer committees now at work
in the various cities, to secure en-
ployment for those out of work, it
would seem that if one-half Of what
has been reported about men out OF en-
ployment is true, the demand for ex-
ira help in any particular section
could be easily supplied.

In their little scheme of excursion,
the Kansas Populists might secure a
number of valuable pointers in the
s,uth regarding such movement.
Their southern friends could speak
from experience. They have had all
they want of that kind Of experience
as the following paragraph from the
Atlanta Constitution will show:
The governor and the people of the
Southern states believe that this is
one country, with one flag and one
destiny. They want no sectional dis
examinations, and no ordinations
that would bind up one part of the
country at the expense of another
They believe that house devided
against itself cannot stand, and they
cling to the hope that the resources
of our craftsmanship and patriotism
will crystalize into wise and just laws
that will bring prosperity and hap
piness to our whole people, from
Marie to Texas, and from Carolina to
Colorado. So far as our financial and
commercial interests are concerned, we
ask for nothing more than fair field,
with equal justice to all and special
privileges to none.
The reasonable designs of the Kan
sas Populists will find but little sup
port outside of the borders Of that
state, except possibly among a few
Populist agitators.

A S30,000,000 iron trust has been
formed which will control nine-tenthS
of the productive mining capacity for
Bessemer ores of the United States,
and it is said it will hold about the
same relation to the Bessemer iron
ore trades of America, that the STAN
dard Oil Company does to the oil traf-
fic. 1t will control about all the
mines on the Mesaba range, and will
also control fleet of vessels on the

THEY STAND EXPOSED.

Senator Sherman in his speech in
the senate few days ago gave the
silverites, and especially Senator
Stewart, very hard blow when he
showed that the senator supported
and voted for the act of 1873, which
he now, in common with his free coin
age associates, holds up as a mon
strous crime. When Senator Stewart
whlningly pleaded that he did not
know what the measure contained,
Senator Sherman showed how he
(Stewart) made speech long after
the act was passed defending. it. Pro-
badly the most crushing blow he ad-
ministered to the free silverites was
the producing of a Colorado or Nevada
paper containing page or two OF as
sessment notices on silver mining
stock, which were payable IN g0td.
Here is a direct instance OF where
the free silverites show a lack OF
faith in the money they demand, and
are constantly declaring that failure
to secure Will drive the country to
ruin. This is indeed q crushing blow,
for 1T shows silver repudiated in the
house of it's supposed friends.
When this.showing of Sen. Sherman
is taken in connection with the fact
that has been made public for some
time back, that the banks OF the So
called silver states are rather shy OF
silver dollars, but keep on hand gooo
stocks of the yellow metal, aud als(
the fact that Senator Stewart ant
other silver mine owners put The gold
clause into their mortgages and othe
contracts, the selfishness of their pro
fessed friendship for silver stand
clearly revealed.
Yelled by the cry of help for thu
masses, they would secure if possible
a law which would give them mar
ket for the product of their mines
Further than this they have no cure
The distress and ruin 1T would brlni
to the business interests and the La
boring classes of the country is mat
ter of no concern to them, if they Ca
glch from the world through such
scheme gold for their pockets, On
can respect a sincere and earnest
though he may be mistaken, advocat
for free silver, but for this set {
selfish, scheming spectators the pull
| lie has no rffne But their scheme
exposed, and they are playing losln
game, and the heartlessness of the
actions has only added momentum
the movement against them. Thel
is every evidence of good sized ma
jority against them IN the senate, til
only question being when that maJo
ity can be recorded. Senator Woo
bees announces that he will be able

him realize this, public sentimer
should be strongly exerted.

FOR A WATER ROUTE.

We clip the following from the Min
neapolis Iribune's Washington's dis
patches:
Inconnection with the proposition
of Congressman Boon to provide by a
system of locks and dams for running
off some of the water from the head of
the Red river of the North down the
Minnesota river, Congressman Nc
Cleary, of the second district, finds an
advantage to Minnesota not calculat-
ed upon in the original project. Mr.,
McCleary does not know whether the
topography of the country makes the
scheme practical one or not, but If it
is practical, he says it will greatly
improve the water power of the
Minnesota, such as that of Granite
Falls. This alone is worthy of
consideration. Then with the import
ant work on the Mississippi river be-
tween ST. Paul and Minneapolis and
the consequent revival of steam boat
ing, Mr.. McCleary says that it is
1
proposed to investigate the question
whether the Minnesota river cannot
be cleared and improved so that boats
may run up to Mankato. He said
recently:
| "There is no such regulator OF
freight rates as river or lake navigat-
ion, and Mankato can afford to put q
boat,on the river and keep her there
if she does nothing else than keel
freights down. The business men Of
Mankato and of all the Minnesota rive
towns fully understand this, and they
have often offered to organize {
company to run line of boats for thi
purpose if the river were cleared"
Mr.. McCleary expects to devote
good deal of attention to this matte
before seeking to secure any legisla
ton, but if the conditions warrant b.
proposes to do all he can to make tn
Minnesota once more a navigabl

: feature in it's development.

MINNESOTA farmers are urged to
send samples of new wheat and other
cereals at once to superintendent
Hunt at the world fair, in order that
they may be judged. Three quarts
each from so or 100 farmers are de-

of 1913 has just been made. 1t has also
been decided to have sweepstakes
competition in cereals. They must
be at Chicago before September 10.
