ton with this feature OF the work that n
distressing error appeared in this
column, when IL was stated that the ore
body, lost when work was suspended
last year, had been again encountered.
The true state of affairs was this The
DRIFT had not been extended to the point
where the management had expected to
encounter the ore, but mixture had
been struck, which, for short time was
supposed to be- the true vein. II disap-
psared and when the point originally
designated by the surveyor had been
reached, the regular body was encount-
cred. Thus, the statement originated
regarding the recovery OF the ore-body
aud caused The DIAMOND DRILL to make
the bungling report. After little pre-
paratory work at No. 2 has been accom-
plished, the work will be To extend the
drift from the bottom Of the shaft TO the

The Cleveland Iron Mini

The Cleveland Iron Mining
MAR company will stop work on
ouErTE its third level at the Lake
RANGE. Shaft mine, and by Monday
the force will be about 100
men Less than now. This condition oi
affairs is brought about by reason OF the
fact that the company cannot market
the ore. II Was hoped that when re.
sumption was announced at the mine
that the force would be steadily added
to, but the company has been unable TO
make sales and reluctantly retrench.
They have large stocks Of ore now ON
hand, and do not wish to borrow more
money to add TO the unsold tonnage.
The mine IL well equipped for getting ore
out rapidly aud cheaply. The new cleo
trio haulage system is now in operation
and nothing is lacking but a market.
This does notcome. Labor disturbances,
tariff hesitancy and the general up
setting OF the business interests Of the
country have resulted in the stoppage.
The company regrets thatit cannot keep
the old force. Mr.. Mather while here this
week, said lac had made every possible
effort TO find place in the market, but
-Bessemer ores sell slowly, and just
now no sales can be made. lie thinks
tho condition il even worse than last
year.
Yesterday Mr. Edward Robins, OF this
city, brought into our office several spec
linens OF rock from the property he is
exploring 60 the northward OF this city.
These contained free gold plainly visible
to the naked eye, and one Of them, a
lean iron ore, contained four pieces Of
native gold. The association Of the gold
with the iron ore il an interesting feature
and means something important TO the
country.
Mr. Robins informs us that the vein II

Good Advice From u Young Populist
on the Subject.

10 the Editor:
Perhaps some of your readers who want
to do some work for the Populist party
and their country this fall would like to
know how a young Populist is carrying on
little campaign all by himself so that
other young men in the party can follow
out the idea themselves if they think it a
good one 1t is easy, cheap effective, re-
quires no wrangling, heated arguments or
cuss words, and no one gets angry.
1t is we'll known fact that man will
give in gracefully to a forcible and logical
argument when presented to him in well
written book, while if the same amount
OF logic was used on him in political
argument it would simply be waste of
wind. The truth might strike him pretty
hard and he Immediately gets mad and
mutters to his Populist friend about An
archists," riots" crazy FOOLS social
1sts,' etc. So, acting on these circum-
stances, l invested 81 in paper covered edi-
TONS of such reform books as Money
FOUND, The Railway Problem" ''Why
We Are Poor" Ten Men of Money Is
land The Silver Question: Seven FL
nancial Conspiracies, and other books
upon the live issues of the day. Now l
have these little bombshells nicely circu-
lated right in the ranks of the old partv
men, and among that peculiar class of
voters who never buy reform literature
to say nothing of ever reading any. They
are eye openers to them and as soon as
they hnlsh one | give them another in its
place and keep them moving There are
thousands of the old party men whom you
can never reach in any other way. Let
TINS be done all over the state and it's
none too early to begin at once, and the
old parties will have to get something be-
side brass bands glib speakers and sub
sidZed papers to stem the stampede from
their ranks. A campaign of education pays
in the long run Let voter get these
facts we'll grounded and its good bye"
to the old parties. Won't other young men
IN all parts of the state help in this good
work, and carry it on perseverngly and
systema tically, and make a special effort
for the young men, there are thousands
of them in the old parties for no other
reason than that their daddies are

the word thrifty" Who says the farmers
have not been thrifty? Not the Populists,
Mr. Governor. 1t is you and your party
that are always insinuating that the far
mer lacks thrift" ''diversifying," and that
is all that ails him. We Populists hold
that as a class the American farmers are
thrifty but not prosperous as the other
classes, and your own figures conclusively
prove 1t. The simple and undeniable fact
IS, that the farmers in this country con-
st1tute the home market" 1.-The consum-
ers" and ultimately pay for the s., 600, 900

tenths of the balance credit without CAPT.

capital produced by the farmer, and after
meeting these enormous charges the farmer
IN spite OF his immense production has moth

they have gone down on the gold basis

SO! VIII not the ruin of the farmers of
Minnesota carry down nine out of ten of

governor, now you are trying ito breed
alarm, distrust, suspicion, to array class
against class, poor against rich" ETC., etc.
W ny 10 tHc SONoTnOT so scared ABOUT dis

there is no cause for distrust and sus-

so foolish as to be in danger of being led
astray and alarmed by cranks with

ernor claims that the Repub-
lican party has been educating the
farmers for the last 80 years by common
schools, state universities, agricultural col
lege and farmers institutes, and yet he is
afraid they may be led astray by cranks.
Strange, isn't it? Yes, the little red school
house has done it's work. 1t is the glory
of true Republicanisn, Lincoln Republican,

Populists Let the governor shed another
tear for the rich mems loss in the late

the laborer and the farmer, need neither

the common people need is to do some seri-
Gus thinking for themselves, and they are
doing it now. In a little while they will
know how to obtain their right to ''life,

Some Suggestions From q Cores
pOndent.


To the Editor:
Allow me space in the columns of your
valuable paper to make a few remarks
about our politics, as we have no paper
in this county to represent our cause. 1t
is with great interest that we notice that
many of the so-called leading men one after
the other throughout the state are joining
our ranks, and the same is the fact in
this county.
The ticket nominated for state offices is
composed of men of high standing, and
especially MIR. Owen is the favorite of all
classes in this county, predict a
victorious result on the 9Th day of Novem-
Der next. Some good work has also been
done in this county by Hon. Nels Guam
and DR.. c. Johnson, and l hoe that they
VIII keep on and roll the ball throughout
the entire campaign so that we can carry
'hlS county for our party. But to be more
sure to carry this county it requires that
our next county convention be careful and
place men with high standing and undis-
puted characted and also from the different
towns, thereby spreading the strength
more widely. In order to get a good tick
ct in the county allow me to suggest some
names of men for the positions who will
do good work for the cause and whom
our party can place before our people with
out fear and by their local influence will
dement, our entire ticket. Hare is the

HOW Legislation Has Deprived the
People of Them.
To the Editor:
BE it never SO humble there is no place
like home" The United States was in
tended by it's founders for a country of
homes, but what have done? According
to the census of 1890, 52ls per cent of the
people are living in rented houses which
can never be homes 1t is a shame and
disgrace to the intelligence of the American
people that laws should have been made to
permit and encourage the selfish greedy
and scheming hypocrites to rob the people
before their face and eyes in the name of
law and order until half of the people of
the United States are homeless These are
the conditions that breed anarchists. A
homeless, hungry, hopeless people makes
very poor citizens and cannot be depended
on in troublesome times.
If the conditions that have taken the
homes from the people, namely financial
and protective class legislation, are per-
mitted to add to the homeless and hopeless
class, all the statesmen in the United
States and the army combined will not be
able to save us from scenes worse than the
French revolution of 100 years ago. To
prevent this the United States senate should
be abolished and the referendum take it's
place, so that wise legislation would be
enacted. There should be free and unlim-
tied coinage in the ratio of 16 to l. so that
debts would be paid with money of the
same value or purchasing power as that
in which they were created in 1873, when
silver was demonetized. That would give
a fair average of debts.
Repeal all tariff laws exempting the la
borer from taxation the necessaries of
life, and raise the necessary revenue by
direct and income tax, so that those who
have the property and the protection of
the government should pay for it, Limit
wealth by graded income tax so that
there would be no object in striving for
an income greater than $4,000 per year.
Limit the private ownership of land to a
maximum number of acres about the size
of an average United States farm. and
city lots to an amount not greater than
one block. fThe United States has limited
the amount of land to settersl So that
every family would own it's own home to
beautify and love. This would make a
contented and happy people, Danish anarchy
and the army would not have to be in
creased NrDJTFF

When Silver Is Money.

Industries will thrive and the hills be alive
With miners and prospectors galore,
When a law has been passed-that is one
that will last,
And silver is money once more.
AT sixteen to one, ere the trouble begun,
Peace and plenty all sides were found
Now the ratios so low it is a death blow,
And the white metal stays in the ground.
The gold bugs of the land united will stand
poor:
But their knell will be sung and their sor-
did hearts wrung
When silver is money once more.
When mines idle today can be worked and
will pay.
When hard times thing of the past,
The nabobs will see twas a righteous de-
cree
That made silver like gold unsurpassed
In its power to buy. Then all, low and
high.
Will rejoice and great good will inure
To the tillers of soil, to the bronzed sons
of toll,
When silver is money once more.
Let us hasten the day, and for it all pray;
Give idle ones work and little ones bread
Ills Saviors command, heard all through
the land
Let the poor and the hungry be fed"
The men now in power should welcome the
hour
When poverty shall enter no door,
And we of the West shall be doubly blest
When silver is money once more.
Peace and plenty will reign, to the gold
bugs disdain,
But twill help all the masses-God's
poor
Now in hunger and want, will not starve
or be gaunt
When silver is money once more.
