tomorrow: Business improvemenemeets
many obstacles, and is scarcely as dis
tinct as it has been in recent weeks.
Strikes have checked the Improvement
in building and sume other trades, and
scarcity of coke has caused closing OF
some iron works. while strike OF all
bituminous ironworkers is ordered, and
may prove serious. More favorable crop
reports than were expected. which Justl-
fy larger hope for next fall, have ar
rested the upward tendency in prices of
products. The renewal of gold exports
occasions some disquietude; but the
gradual exhaustion of goods i'll the
hands of dealers makes the consumption
OF the people more distinctly felt and
apparently larger, and this demand in
creases witnthe gain in the number OF
hands at work. 1t cannot be said that
the uncertainty as to the future has
materially diminished, but there is evil
IDENTIFY growing impression that there
will be no important legislation OIL the
currency or the tariff. This impression,
whether erroneous or not, influences
the action of many. On the whole,
though progress is still obstructeG by
uncertainties, it has not been arrested.
The most Cheering sign is the decrease
in Importance of commercial failures;
for, though one more lean concern has
failed, with liabilities of S5,5O0.000, the
liabilities in all commercial fail ures for
the first week of April were only 81, 190,-

SncOme tax he said: There are several
OF us on the Democratic side who are
opposed to the Income tax. but we know
there are enough Republicans who will
vote to retain it in the bill to keep it
there, and we have the strange condition
ef seeing men vote for provision Oh

the rage and indignation of the peo-
pie against the Coal Ring, which was

was appointed to look after the mat

them. These gentlemen lodged a
complaint before the board of rail

against the rate on hard coal from

It seems that the charge for carrying

man over the head with club and
his troubles are over in a few min
utes; you break him down into pow
erty and drive him into the poor
house, and you inflict upon him years
which are veritable ages of misery.
But what is the remedy? 1t is a
peaceful and constitutional one. Let
the people rouse themselves to new
birth Of liberty. Let them rise like
a giant from his slumbers, and tear
the cords with which cunning men
have bound them; and seize upon the
heritage of their fathers; and make
this indeed the lana of the free and
the paradise of honest poverty; and a
literal hell for rogues, thieves and
their abettors, on the bench and of.

simply horrible! 1t is enough to
provoke mob law and hang-bee0f
judges. WHAT" Il hear some one
exclaim, hang a judge?" Certain
ly; what is judge, but a lawyer?
And nobody pretends that lawyers, as
a class, are Christ-like or immaculate
And when this lawyer, elevated to
the bench by some political deal or
juggle, or as the reward for some
dirty job, or as the recognized tool of
a corporation, goes to work to inject
words, whole sentences and false
meanings, into laws passed by the
people; and does it that wrong may
triumph and the wretched be crushed
utterly, and millions made miserable,
his neck should be stretched until it
it is as long as the catalogue of his
victims. Now we do not advise the
hanging of judges; it would be an in
sufficient remedy; some of them are
good men and patriots; and if the
mob hanged all the bad ones the cor
porations would pick out new
batch, and the old party voters would
elect them; and we would be just
where we started in at. But, in a
moral sense, the judge who prevents
a good law, in the interest Of law
breakers, to the detriment of mil
lions, is as deserving Of death as the
wretch who breaks that law in a sim

ers. In the second place an elevator
is not "a work of internal improve
ment" any more than a new capitol
building, or an insane asylum, or a
normal school or a water-clOset. It
does not improve the INTERVALS" of
the state, like a railroad or a canal.
The contrary Interpretation put up
on it by the Supreme Court, was
fraudulent; and made in the interest
Of the Wheat Ring of Robbers; and
in the hope that the thieves would
spend their money literally next fall,
to re-elect the judges who stood by
them, in this villainous thwarting of
public demand. But If the state
elevator is work of "intsrnal i'm.
provement," then it comes under the
rest OF the provision of the constitu-
tion quoted by you, which says,
"where grants Of land, or other prop
erty, shall have been made to the
state, especially dedicated by the
grant to specific purposes, and in
such cases the state shall devote
thereto the avails of such grant, and
may pledge or appropriate the
revenues derived from such works in
aid of their completion. In this
case fund had been raised by an in
spection fee, charged on the farmers
wheat; and by the act of the legisla-
ture of 1893, that fund was turned
over to e state, for "a specific pur-
pose," to-wit, to build grain-eleva-
tor, for the use Of the farmers: and
under the constitution the state was
pledged to carry out that trust. But,
instead of doing SO, the court wipes
out the law and leaves the trust
fund hanging in mid air, without a
purpose.
Now, my young friend, 60 to work
and get all your fellow students to
subscribe for the REPRESENTATIVE.
1t will be the antidote to counteract
the virus of the text books, and the
efforts of some of your teachers, whose
bread and butter depend on party
triumphs, which again depend upon
the satisfaction of the plutocracy.
You are being raised up, with per.
verted views, to help overthrow free
institutions in this great republic.
Hear both sides, if you would be
worthy OF the trust of mighty liberty.

What Should We Do With Our
Judges?


Rev. Samuel G.. Smith of St. Paul.
an eloquent and able man, delivered
a sermon recently which has made
quite a rattling among the dried
bones. Here is one of his utter
ances:
"May the executive department
decide what laws shall or Shall not
be enforced? Decidedly not. This is
Of the very essence of a despotism.
When statutes depend upon the
whim or temporary wrath of an ire
SpOnSible man entrusted with high
office our officers of public safety be-
come a public danger"
This is whack at Mayor Wright:
and it sounded so hard on the Mayors
ribs that he announces he is not a
candidate for reelection. But If the
executive department cannot decide
what laws shall or shall not be en-
forced, why should the judicial de-
partment claim that right? Is not
this also the very "essence of despet-
ism?" For instance, in Arkansas a
United States court has just decided
that if a loan company send man
into a neighborhood to make loans
for them; and he charges usurious
rates, that this agent of the COM
pany, handling the company's money,
is really the agent of the borrower,
who never saw him before; and there
fore the usury does not vitiate the
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-01-31
The Cause of 1t.

The cause of deficiency in the
treasury was very tersely stated by
Senator German the other day when
he said there have been three hun
dred odd million of dollars more ap-
priated in the last three years than
the revenues of the government have
amounted to-" That tells the whole
story in single sentence. And the
remedy follows just as shortly: Stop
appropriations Paul Globe.
This is very silly. II German had
said that there were three million
workmen tramping the land and pro-
ducing nothing, and living on
charity; and many other millions of
workmen subsisting on half-rations,
and employed about half the time;
while the exported products of the
farmers had fallen one-half in value,
which was the same in effect as if
they had only exported one-half the
usual amount; he would have shown
why the revenues are below the ap-
preparations.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-01-31

loan, although the statute of the
state says it should. Now courts are
supposed to interpret statutes and
constitutions; and in what statute or
constitution will that Judge find that
declaration, that the agent of the
lender is really the agent of the bor-
rover; and therefore the borrower
practiced usury upon himself? It is
like the defense in case in Texas;-
two men got into fight and one, bit
the others ear off. When the case
came to trial the attorney for the de-
fendant claimed that the two men,
in their fight, wrestled and rolled
over each other on the ground, and
that in this inextricable confusion
the plaintiff bit has oacm ear of!l Even
Texas jury could not swallow that
kind of bosh; but here we have still
greater nonsense, gravely uttered by
Judge of United States court! To
what base uses has the great republic
come, when such creatures can desc
crate it's ermine? And here is a
plain, clear, unequivocal statute, to
stop the oppression of the poor by
the rich, to punish violaters of law,
brushed aside by the invention of
statutory provisions, by a man who
has no right to make laws. In that
southern country the inhabitants
every day shoot or hang individuals,
who break the laws; and yet they
patiently submit to see statutes,
not@bfoken, but absolutely brushed
aside, repealed, wiped out; and a
whole vast community of hard-work-
ing people handed over to the rob-
bers and plunderers, against whom
the laws tried to protect them. 1t is
