TO PRESERVE, NOT DESTROY.

The Waseca Radical says that the
purpose of the anti-silver men is to
destroy the value of one-half of our
money. The Radical ought to know
better than to make any such asser-
tion as this. They simply favor the
repeal of the clause which authorizes
the monthly purchase of silver. The
remainder of the law which provides
for the circulation and maintaining
the two metals at parity is left intact
and will preserve the full value of our
circulation. The fact of the matter
is large majority of those who are
today working for the repeal of the
silver purchase clause favor 'bimetal-
lism upon some basis which will not
endanger the business interests of
the country. There is no question
but that the United States can main
tain the amount of silver it now has
on hand at parity with gold. if the
policy of enlarging it indefinitely is
ulSCOuUluu cus lUS COuUluuCu puI-
chase of silver out Of the way, uthe
path is clear to secure an information
al arrangement for the use Of silver
upon basis which will not endanger
business interests. The fact that
discussion was provoked upon the sill
yer question in the English house of
commons few days ago, for the first
time in years, is straw which shows
The tendency of the times, and indi-
Gates a general willingness to do
something in the matter, when the
United States refuses to further bear
the burden alone. The recommends
tion of the President is not move
which will destroy the value Of one
half of our money, but one, which if
acted upon will preserve the entire
circulation at it's face value.

the Ramsey county court restraining
the state railway and warehouse COM
mission from carrying out the law au-
thorizing the building of state ele-
vator at Duluth. The injunction was
sworn out by grain dealer at Fair

conflict with the state constitution
which forbids internal improvement
at the state expense. and holds that
the building is an internal improve

Facts Cannot Be Set Aside

Rock County Herald: The claim of
the silverites that the free coinage of
silver will raise the price Of silver to
the value indicated by the ratio of 16
to is conclusively proved to be false
by our own and the experience of 9TH
er nations. The stubborn facts
cannot be set aside that the value of
silver dollars like gold dollars is de-
termined by their weight and the
market value of either is determined
by the cost of it's production.

Sublime Contempt for Facts.

Blue Earth City Post: 1t is stated
on good authority that the Democrat
lc tariff bill will be framed and put
through congress without giving any
nearing to manufacturers and other
interested parties. This would be
strictly in accordance with free trade
theories and methods, which have a
sublime contempt for facts and ex-
perience.

The pinch of protection is felt more in
small countries which lack great diver
sifcation of soil and climate. Germany,
Austria, Italy and Russia are being depop-
ulated by protective tariffs, and their OPP
pressed come to this country because it
is the greatest free trade country on the
globe, trade being absolutely free from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans and
from Canada to Mexico. Five years of
McKinleyism would cost England one
fifth of its population and her manufac-
turing and commercial supremacy. One
decade of high protection has started
Canada on the down grade and has
brought about reaction there which it
took three decades to bring about in this
great country. The sentiment for an
nexation is growing rapidly there. On
April the Hon. Honore Mercier, prime
minister of Quebec from 1886 to 1892,
addressed an immense audience in Mon
treal on ''Tho Future of Canada" He
pictured the great advantages that would
follow union with the United States and
advocated political independence as the
first step to annexation. The meeting
passed a resolution in favor of immediate
independence.
Practically all to be gained by annex
alton, Of real benefit to the people, could
be obtained by the removal of the two
tariff walls between the countries. Ca
nadians are responsible for one of these
and could remove it at any time. We
will promise to remove half of our wall
and to take the Mckinley barbed wires
off of the top during the next two years.
1t is not likely that we will stop the
good work at once, and who knows what
may happen before the twentieth CEN
tury arrives? Slaves who realize their
condition and who could appreciate free
dom are already half free, and freemen
who do not appreciate their liberty and
cannot govern themselves wisely are
half slaves. When Canadians have stud
led their conditions and understand the
nature of their bonds, they will virtually
be free, even though politically and nom
inally subject to Great Britain.-Byron

The statement made in The Dodge
vile Chronicle of last week, in regard
to the form of the official ballot for
the judicial election being changed
from that published in The Democrat
is absolutely false. The official ballot
was printed from the same form of
type that was published in The Iowa
County Democrat and The Mineral
Point Tribune, for two weeks next
preceding the election day, and was in
the regular legal form used through
out Wisconsin. A comparison of an
official ballot with the form published
in The Democrat and The Tribune
will show them to be identically the
same. 1t is strange that the Chronicle
should publish falsehoods of such a
bare faced character. 1t must be that
repeated defeats at the ballot box have
made it mad.

Senator Appel's measure abolishing
the road district and road overseer
system i'll Wisconsin and providing
a township system has become law,
and it is confidently hoped, will work
a great change for the better in the
highways throughout the state.
Among The important provisions Of
the new law are the following:
Hereafter all taxes, assessed for
making anc repairing roads in any
town in the state, shall be paid in
money, and collected by the town
treasurer, at the same time and in the
same manner as other taxes are col
lected in said town for other town and
county purposes; and the taxes so col
lected shall be disbursed by said treas
urer on warrants drawn by the town
board. The amount of highway taxes
that may be assessed in any town for
any one year, and the manner of max
lag such assessments shall remain the
slme as now provided for by section
1910, of the revised statutes. and
amendments thereto. In case there
be filed with town clerk, thirty DAYS
prior to the time of holding the an
nual meeting, a petition in writing,
signed by not less than twenty-five
electors and free holders of the town
requesting that the electors of the
town shall, at such town meeting, vote
on the question whether the highway
tax in such town shall be paid in labor
instead of money, it shall be the duty
of the town clerk to post in three pub
lie places of the town at least ten days
prior to time of holding such annual
meeting, notice that such question will
be submitted at such meeting to vote
OF the electors. In case the electors,
at such meeting vote that the highway
taxes shall be paid in labor instead of
money for that year, such labor shall
be performed under the supervision of
road superintendent or superintend-
ents appointed by the town board
under this act, and at such time as
the town board or road superintendent
may determine. All the provisions of
the Revised Statutes Of 1878, and the
acts amendatory thereof for the col
lection of highway taxes, when paid
in labor, shall so far as applicable ap-
ply, except that such road superin-
tendent or superintendent shall have
all the powers and perform all the
duties of the road overseers mention
toned in said statutes.

The Washington correspondent Of
The Baltimore Sun concludes as fol-
lows long letter upon the financial
situation:
1.-The present condition of the treas
ury and the obvious fact that the
Sherman silver law is responsible for
it, has led to strengthening of the
sentiment in favor Of its repeal and
there is revival of the talk of an
extra session in congress to act on the
question. The president has not had
anything to say on the subject to any
of his congressional callers as yet,
however, and it is probable there will
not be an extra session before the first
of September, when it is understood
congress will be called together to con-
slider the administration plan for the
revision of the tariff. The president
will doubtless at the same time take
occasion in his message to urge i'm
mediate action on the monetary ques-
ton and will advise the immediate
repeal of the Sherman act"

WHY CANADIANS EMlGRAfE.
Commercial Freedom Would Stop the E,
odus and Annex Her to the United States.

Commercial Freedom Would Stop the Ex-
odus and Annex Her to the United States.
We are told by the New York Mail
and Express and other high Republican
authorities that Canada is unable to
stem the exodus of its people from the
eastern provinces into our New England
and middle states, and that to counterfeit
this loss NEARLY 800 agents are constant
ly employed travelling about the western
states to encourage emigration to Cam
ada and Offering $40 bonus to a head Of
family and s. for each member. Be-
sides this, free homesteads are provided"
Yet the tide is running strong from Cam
ada to this country, and the last census
shows that there are already nearly
1000, 900 Canadians here.
The Mail and Express says that Cana
dams come here because "they are con-
WINGED that on this side of the dividing
line lie opportunities for thrift and m
dustry." This is undoubtedly true.
Why, then, are there greater opportuni-
ties for thrift and industry here? Both
countries have high protective tariffs,
and both have millions of unused and
fertile farm and timber lands. It is not
natures fault that opportunities are
greater in this country; it is mans fault.
The artificial restriction of trade and
commerce by protective" tariffs is
mainly responsible for the present exo-
dus. It would drive the oppressed out
of any country which has no greater
variety of climate than has eastern Cam
ada. Protect" Michigan or Maine from
the rest of this country as Canada is
now protected from it, and the cost of
living will go up and wages down SO
much that thousands will emigrate to
the other states, and great offers of cash
viii be necessary to allure them back to
their protected" homes.
