During the campaign the government
Will have to bear the blame tor the low
price OF wheat, for the reason that
gamblers purposely keep down the
price to beat the farmer. Such talk as
that Is unreasonable. There are just as
many gamblers trying to raise the price
OF wheat as there are those that are try
ing 10 keep The price down. The
gambler that has il lot of grain
on his hands wants the price to
60 up. of course, and while they
may ut times cause the price OF
wheat to vary it Is as likely to go above
a normal price as to go below it. The
real cause Of the low price is the vast
areas that have been s0wn to wheat
in the past decade. which has caused
hundreds OF millions of bushels of
wheat from Argentine. India, New
Zealand and Russia to come into COM
petition with wheat raised by the Amer
lean farmer. At the present time wheat
sells for little more than 70 cents in
Liverpool. Improved machinery and
Increased transportation facilities have
caused this decrease i'll price.-Slayton

democrats of Fillmore county have
at least the virtue OF standing by their
honest convictions. They have declared
themselves unequivocally against al
lance with the Populists. In taking
this stand they prove themselves to be
animated by much nobler motive than
the mere desire for the spols of Office.
They stand upon a much higher plane
than the Democrats OF Freeborn and
Waseca counties, who played into the
hands OF the Pupulists and recommend
ed the Endorsement Of Owen. But the
TACT Is that these two counties are so
thoroughly stepped in Populism that it's
doctrines dominate, and the little rem
mats OF the Democratic party have lost
all courage and Independence. Besides,
