nomic laws as to contend that gold need
not rise in doing more than double work
as money, and commodities need not fail
in like manner, but that changed conditions
of production account for such fall in
prices? No one is SO obtuse to believe
that there las not been reduction in the
cost Of many commodities, but let us hon.
eStly face the question that money subSti-
tutes cannot be made into real money by
the alchemy of theories or that gold will
not continue to rise while it is the only
legal liquidator of debts. The business Of
the world must continue to be paralyzed
until gold and silver are alike money at a
fixed ratio whatever else nations may do to
avert it. The United States has suffered
least until lately because of her vast nat
ural wealth and heavy exports to meet for
eign debts. Now with wheat at so cents
bushel and cotton at less than cost of pro-
duction we have to pay in gold and the
shoe begins to pinch our financial corns,
and the end is not yet.
But here is the calamity of it: These
men are all successful at looking backward :;
but for looking forward they are not worth
cent. Like the Irish pilot in the old story,
they know every rock in the channel-when
they strike it! They lead the people wrong !;
and, when disaster stops them, and they
1an go no farther, they turn around and
kick the oracle off his tripod and proceed
to utter a new lot of short-sighted, false
prophecies, and the fool multitude follow
them into another mud-hole. And so it
goes from generation to generation, ito the

this incident does not stand alone. On

The producers, on the farms and in

mind that the saturnalia of crime,
corruption and misgovernment must
come to an end, and the common peo-
pie must take possession of the gov

by the plain citizens of 1776, dressed
in homespun; and the purpose of the
constitution was, not to build up an
aristocracy, but to make the whole
mass of the population prosperous and
happy. There is, therefore, nothing
radical or anarchical in the workers
taking possession of the hive and

Then Congress, not the State, will

place those commissioners were ap-
pealed to to reduce rates from Crook
ston, and Crookston alone, to certain
points. They proceeded to reduce
rates to and from all other points in
the state, on the Great Northern linel
The United States Supreme Court
held in the celebrated "Milk case'
that rates could only be reduced by
Court, in a judicial proceeding. Who

Smith sued John Brown for $1OO, pro-

Brown not only for $1O0 in favor of
John Smith, but in favor of Peter
Jones for $500; and Bill Jenkins for
$1,000; and Timothy Holahan for s., 900,
ETC., etc. When this thing reaches
the United States Court, about five
years from now, it will be laughed out
of the judicial precincts as an absur-
dity.
If Mr.. Becker and the other Rail-
road Commissioners, and Gov. Nelson,
really meant to help the farmers why
was not this appeal decided when first
made, nearly year ago, and decided
as to Crookston alone? Then other
points could have followed suit. No;

one cent per mile instead Of three
cents, and the people will laugh with
happiness.
But, says one, think Of the debt the
United States would have to incur
if they bought up the railroads :!
What Of it, If the thing that causes
the debt is able to pay the debt? In
Australia the people paid for the rail-
roads, out of their earnings, in ten
years; and in the meantime they
raised the wages of the employees and
cut down the rates tremendously; and
still had enough left to nearly pay all
the expenses of government; and
there the people now travel one thous-
and miles for $5; while here we pay

The honest. kindly, toilsome vet

seen in Picardy, is an existence of pa

lions borne by people that are among
the happiest of the happy.
From generation of out-of-door work
ers these people have derived a grand
physical inheritance that enables
them TO support lives of ecntented
toilinr on little bread and soup each
day. The soil OF the coast region Of
Picardy is exceedingly poor. bat as in
Scotland and along the Atlantic sea-

in the land has developed in
