At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Swan Lake cheese factory held
on Monday of last week, there was a
good attendance, and while there was
no definite conclusion reached as to
operating the factory during the
coming season, yet committees were
appointed to canvas and ascertain as
to the support that could be relied on,
and report at an adjourned meeting to
be held yesterday. We certainly
hope the factory can be operated, and
would urge every farmer to make all
possible effort, not only to keep it in
operation the coming summer, but to
prepare also for an increased number
of COWS another season. There is
money in the cheese factories else
where, and why not here?
So much has been said to discourage

In regard to fax prices and price pro-
spects writer on the Market Record
says: "The fax price is now wholly
manipulated price, there being at
least 35c a bushel tackled on to the
price by the oil monopoly that has Sc
cured control Of the fax seed now in
the country. By raising the price of
fax they can raise the price of oil. The
legitimate price of fax is about ST. a
bu. now. And the new crop will bring
IS or 8Oc. at least, next season in Du-
luth. All the crop Is ''in sight" that is
in control ofthe oil men, and it is not
to exceed 100000 bu. il all, from which
there will be decrease for seed pur-
poses."

For smut IN wheat, Dlue stone ulS-
solved in water sprinkled over the
wheat before seeding is said to be an
effective preventive. One pound of
blue stone to three gallons of water is
sufficient for ten bushels of grain,
which can be used a few hours after
being treated. So far, however, we
have had little or no smut in the grain
in this vicinity, at least in comparison
with Dakota.
Miss E. May Waterman's dancing
class had their initial lesson at The
Morris last Saturday evening. The
class starts out with a good attend
ance, and with indications that the
number will steady increase. This
is an excellent opportunity for our
young people to improve their dan
cling and also for beginners who desire
instruction, as Miss Waterman is
painstaking with her pupils and a
very competent instructress.
Just about this season of the year
we find the question of good roads
occupies a prominent place in the
public mind. Unfortunately the in
terest lags as the weather settles, and
while we laugh at the story of the
negro who offered as an excuse for a
leaky roof "that when it rained he
could not fix it, and when it did not
rain it did not need fixing" yet our
neglect of repairs and improvements
on roads in the proper season has not
a much more plausible excuse to offer
than SambO's.

Should be Popul'sts.

Its only the party that stands for
the true interest of the wealth-pro-
ducers.
After twenty-five years Of Demo
cratic and Republican rule. we have a
debt of So, 900 100000, with 9,0OO,-
900 mortgaged homes and 1000, 900
out of employment, with 1924, 7O1
tenant farmers and 2,OOG. 600 tlamps.
During these twenty five years the two
old parties have given the rich rail
road corporations land enough to give
us all farm.
In 1860 the farmers and wagework-
ers owned 75 per cent of the wealth
of the country. To-day they own less
than 25 per cent.
In the last ten years our farmers
and toilers have increased Onr nation
al wealth so ,OOO. 600, 900, and every
dollar of it has gone into the hands of
plutocracy.
Both the old parties are controlled
by Wall street, in the interests of
banks, corporations and trusts.
Neither of the old parties offers 4
remedy. History does not record a
single case of an old party demanding
any righteous reforms-Edina lnde.

Another Bond Issue.

Cleveland and his friends, the bank
crs, who have idle money they want
to loan, but can't, in consequence of
the hard times have created have de-
cided upon another issue of bonds.
Cleveland, now that his party is a
corpse, appears to think that be might
as we'll be hanged for sheep as II
lamb. 1t is possible that he has not
yet quite paid off the debt of gratitu-
de incurred by the bankers contribu-
tions to his campaign fund IN 1892,
and that they are pointing out that
the trusts are given their return for
similar favors in the recent tariff
legislation. Anyway, Cleveland IS
doing all that the money lenders are
asking of him, and he insists that there
shall be ''no unnecessary delay"
But when the bond issue is over
with, what will it amount to? The
gold paid for the bonds can. be gotten
back again by the buyers the next
day. by their demanding gold for
greenbacks at only United States sub
treasury. Indeed, if wou!d-be buy
er has not the gold to buy with he
can get it from the. government s
small stock for glcenbacks as above
suggested. 50 that. viewed according
to either possibility, the government
may have no-morc gold when the
sale is a week over than it had before
the sale was made. What, then, be-
comes of the prctense that tie pur-
pose of the bond issue is to increase
the gold reserve? What the transac-
ton amouts to therefore, is simply
10 obligate the nation to pay more
tribute to the money lenders, and pile
up the burden Of matte nal indebted
ness upon this and future genera
tions, redecmable IN a scarce form OF
money.
Is this agony to be inflicted upon
an impoverished people every time
the money dealers shall see fit to Sc
arrange that the humbug gold basis
shall be drawn out of the public
treasury? GLOW long, oh Lord, how
long?" Will the. people meyer see
through their villaionous pretenses,
and rise up and overthrow the power
which employs them to extort tribute
from the nation?
Our only remedy for these evils is
in the political education of the peo-
ple.-Framers Tribune.

Result IN Minnesota.

The election returns from Mime
sofa turn Out some exceedingly dis
trustluy figures. There vas very
exciting campaign IN 1890 The fate
Of the presidency and control Of the
government was dependent upon it.
Does any one believe that that vote
ccald. III an off year bc increased H..
416? That is what the official returns
show That Republicans they cannot
create money but they seem to be
able, whenever occasion requires it,
to ''crcate'' votes They have, per
haps. learned the trick from the south
ern Democrats.
The vote as returned this year is as
follows: Republicans 13S.OS4 Popu-
lists. &c. 7Gl; Democrats 81, O34; Popu-
list gain 1922. and Democratic
loss of 3O,S10. There can be but one
conclusion drawn from these figures.
4 large part of the Democratic party
voted the Republican ticket. ana was
a big factor in the Republican gain of
34,37S. What the Populists have all

Now that sufficient time has elapsed
to permit u study Of the returns from
Wisconsin it appears that the Popu-
list party is the only one of the four
that gained any votes. The Popu-
list gain in the State is estimated by
State Chairman Schilling at 45, 900, or
about four times the vote cast in
1892. The victorious Republicans
have fewer votes by several thous.
ands than they had in 1892. Milwau-
kee coanty is fair sample of the

rison two years ago was 24,6O2; Up

What the Merchant Does.

The merchant turns his back to the
future. ruhs his eyes few times and
looks back through the fog of the
dead past and imagines that he sees
in dim letters in the tomb Of dead
promises, Republican or Democratic
greatness; lie turns then to his day
book and and writes his own death
warrant, signs it and walks to the
polls and votes that is be executed
with all the cruelty and dispatch pos
sible No difference does it make.
how hard pressed he or his custom
ers are, nor how low prices drop or
how scarce money becomes. the dim
vision Of the past, stimulated by an
indifference to TIE welfare of his
brother man, his mind dwarfed by
cruel visions, competitive system are
sufficient to make him willing to
sacrifice his home and all. for, the
sake of a party that once had some
sober patriotic men in its ranks

That Bond Issue.

\ correspondent at Omaha. Ned,
asks what proof there is that the last
Republican administration were about
TO issue more bonds when Harrison's s
term was about to expire, but put Off
doing SO IN order to place the burden
of blame upon the Democrats. The
fact is made clear in the following
letter from Secretary Carlisle:

OFFICE OF SECRETARY. !
.WAsHlNGroN, Sept. II, 1894.
To Mr.. Geo w. Dunn, Tiffin G.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 14th
inst, is received, and in response you
are advised that Secretary Foster, be-
fore he left the department., ordered
plates for the issue of bonds to be
prepared, but the S5,OOO.O 900 Of bonds
ISSUED IN February last were not en-
graved upon the plates-that Is 70 say,
the plates which Secretary Foster had
prepared were changed in order to
make them conform to the character
of the bonds issued in February.

The Future IS Ours.

me future IS OufS.
The late election was not a Repuli-
can victory so much as it was De-
mocratic defeat, and it was more an
of the anger OF the popu
lar discomfort. so widespread and
deep, and SO prolonged, since its first
great manifestation occurred in 1890,
neither of the two old parties offers
any remedy. They do not even pre-
tend to offer one. The Democrats
won the election Of 1892 upon denun-
citation of the "robber' tariff, and
when got in power straightway pro-
ceeded to pass u high tariff act en-
bodying, only in slightly lower per
centage, the very protective policy
which they had just denounced as
fraud and robbery. The Republicans
then made campaign devoted almost
entirely to denunciation of the Demo
cratic tariff law just passed. and are
no sooner given the control OF the
house. and in greater majority than
they had hoped for or demanded,
than their leaders and newspaper an
nounce that the party will not at
tempt to make any change in the con-
demned Democratic tariff.
Was there ever such wholesale
hombuggery practised upon anv
other civilized nation on earth?
More than this the oldi party in
power in the administration, with the
expressed consent of the old party
just elected to power in the lower
branch of congress. already announces
its purpose to add to the burdens of
a suffering people by another issue of
bonds is at the behest of the money
leaders of the east, as an investment
specially provided at the expense of
the taxpayer for Shylock's idle capi-
tai.
Surely,:.in!the case of both the con
federated old parties these strange
actions can be nothing but the insani-
ty which proceeds destruction.
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad'
Now, therefore, is the grand oppor-
tunity of the Peoples party. The
people arc casting about for a way
out of the Dismal Swamp Of hard
times, where they are still sinking,
and into which the twin like policies
of the two old parties have led them,
and, the people having placed each OF
the old parties in the lead in turn,
without result, except to plunge them
IN deeper, it is but natural that they
should now look 10 the Peoples party
for guidance and be ready at last to
give an attentive hearing to its pro
posed measure of relief.
On, then, with the work of educa-
ton! The future is surely ours,if We
will but act promptly and assiduous
ly taking advantage of the splendid
opportunity which the present situa
ton (Which could not be better if We
ourselves had devised it) affords fol
