THE YEAR AT HOME.

With the year just closed Mankato
can not complain. Business Of all
kinds has been good, our merchants
have enjoyed good trade Jour man.
ufacturing institutions have had
prosperous season f; with one exception
not business failure has occurred in
our midst during the past twelve
months, and this one exception was
a small concern which would not
have met misfortune had it not been
that for time it's manager was un-
able to give the business his personal
supervision. Labor of all kinds has
found employment at remuneratiye
wages, and the cases of real need are
as few as in any city of it's size. In
fact it is doubtful if there is any city
of it's size in the country in which the
effects of the depression have rested
as lightly as upon Mankato On the
other hand the outlook for 1894 is a
hopeful one. The propects for trade
are is active operation giving en-
ployment to about their usual num-
Der of hands, and if congress soon
settles the tariff agitation, Mankatu
will no doubt adjust it's business con-
ditiOns to the new order of affairs, as
readily any city in the country,
The agricultural country tributary
20 the city has probably suffered as
little as any agricultural community
it the northwest. Our farmers have
been turning their attention of late
years to Investigation of crops and
the results have illustrated the wis
dom they exercised,
On the whole Mankato and Blue
Earth county can enter upon the year
1894 with a feeling of thankfulness
for the blessings which 1893 showered
upon them, and with hopefulness
that 1894 has many good things in
store for them.

SHOULD TAKE A BROAD VIEW

The Minneapolis Tribune contained
long article the other day in a Ia
bored attempt to show that a duty on
iron ore is not needed. 1t
speaks principally, in fact, entirely,
of the Mesaba range. 1t claims that
no mining range in the world can COM
pete with it, so far as chedpness in
mining is concerned. This is a claim
that is more or less admitted by all
who are in any way acquainted with
mining But the Mesaba range is not
the only place in the United States
where iron ore is mined. And free
ore would interfere with the opera
tions of miners on other ranges, or
else result in severe cut in wages.
1t is also stated on good authority
that the expense Of mining on the
Mesaba range will increase as the
mines are worked, and that the use of
the steam shovel. upon which Mr..
Wilson bases his reasons for free ore,
will be more and more restricted as
time lapses. The Republican idea OF
the tariff is not sectional one. They
would not discriminate between sec
tionS because this or that Sc ctiOn can
conduct certain business at less ex-
pense. If, as is claimed by the free
trade advocates, mining can be con-
Quoted successfully on the Mesaba
range with ore on the free list, so
much to the advantage of Mesaba;
but 1T affords no reason whatever why
all the other iron mines of the country
should be placed in position where
they must cease operations OF else
cut seriously upon the price of labor.
But the question of putting ore on
the free list simply because it might
not, possibly, affect operations upon
the Mesaba range, is a narrow view
of thematter to take. The effect will
reach far beyond the question of min
ing. 1T will cut in two directions,
not only in the matter of mining on
other ranges, but as relates to the
matter of manufactured products.
The northwest is interested, in secur-
ing the working up of the ores Of its
mines upon the ground. BuU IF the
Wilson schedule relating to ores and
iron is to stand, it will seriously inter
fere with the Inauguration of such
desired end. With free ore and free
coal, the east could cut under every
thing the northwest could do, especial
ly as such manufacturing interests
are yet to be ablished here. If we
are to develop the magnificent resourc-
es which we have in the northwest,
then we must continue the protective
policy which alone will make it pos
sible and successful. To cut aloof
from it will simply mean that they
will remain indefinitely undeveloped,
and that we will continue to remain
as we are at present-Iargely an agri-
cultural section.

THE NEW YEAR.

1t is far pleasanter to turn from the
many sad reflections which the old
year must necessarily produce, and
look forward to what the new year
may have in store. There is always
hope over the hills and far away. A
hope for better things, better times
and better surroundings. This hope
fulness is characteristic feature of
the American. 1t leads him from con-
quest to conquest, to surmount OBJ
stacles, which to the average of man
kind, seem almost insurmountable.
He surveys what has already been
done in Harvesting the powers Of the
elements and using their forces for
the welfare of mankind, and in
burst of enthusiasm declares there
are few things impossible for man;
that though failures may for time
impede the way time will crown all
with success.
And so with hope we turn our eyes
upon 1894. What has it in store for
US? That it will bring its share Of
pain, cannot be denied, but we turn
from that to the more optimistic
view and hope that its joys and bless
ings may be increased, and that it
may hold increased prosperity III its
hand, and prove more generous in its
gifts than has it's predecessor.

worthy cases, and to encourage indus

Down at Window the Reporter says
there are certain persons who, when
they have things stolen from them,
search the premises of the party they
suspicion, during the night, without
due process of law. This strange
habit led them onto the premises, a
few nights ago, of citizen of that
place whose reputation for honesty
the Reporter says is beyond the
shadows of dispute, where they were
discovered in their work by the owner.
Such untimely visits are liable to
lead to serious consequences.

THE OLD YEAR.

The old year has closed, and 1893 be-
longs to history 1t is not always
pleasant to glance back over the
past. While pleasant memories may
be aroused, there are many things apt
to be recalled which do not tend to
cheer the heart of man. And yet
there is no better time than the first
day Of the New Year to look back
over the old one just rounded out and
note the mistakes made and the ad.
vantages gained, that we may profit
by them in the days to come. Taken
as a whole, the year just past has
been an eyentful one. One of it's
most remarkable events has been the
worlds fair at Chicago, which was
brought to successful close, and the
beauty and completeness Of which
aroused the enthusiasm of all who
saw it. But as an Offset to this bright
spot 10 the years history of our coun-
try, has been the great depression in
business and financial circles, and the
many appalling disasters which have
followed each other in quick success
sion. In future history, because Of
all these things, 1893 will stand out as
one OF the most eventfpl years in
peaceful times, and will mark it as a
prominent milepost in the closing
nineteenth century,
The financial depression has been of
unusual severity, and it's effects are
more or less continued by the uncer-
tainty as Just what the tariff legisla-
tlon will be. r. G. Dun & Co., in

agricultural society meeting resolu-

commissioners to purchase the fair

annual fair on. We think is should
be done. The society is doing a grand
good work in educating the young in
the direction of better farming, stock
growing, etc. The attendance at the
fair is good every year now, and the
interest growing. The society has
struggled onto established groundi

the wares purchased at our es-
tablishment with those in any
shop and note not only the
difference in the cost, but also
the superior manner in which
the NEW YORK CLOTH
ING HOUSE GAR
MENTS are fashioned. For
this season our Styles. Cloths,
and Making are superior to
anything attempted previously
and the prices are lower than
Clothing of such goodness and
reliability has ever been sold.
We venture to say that not
two establishments combined
in this city can show as many
styles at popular prices as we
have in our stock. A large
stock will hel p you select and
you may rest assured you cant
help but be suited at our store.
We mean to sell more Cloth
ing this year than we did last.
The outlook at the beginning
was not very bright as you are
no doubt aware; the talk of hard
times scared most of clothing
men, but we took adyanlge Of
the low prices and purchass d
in large quantities from some
of the largest manufacturers
in the country at very low fig
ures. This enables us to bring
the prices Of our Clo,hing
down to the very lowest notch.
You should in justice to your

compare prices where you will,
and you'll find that ours are
the lowest. Your money back
