Vain - Some Facts About
Mortgages on Farm and City
Property.

sitions. First, that the |lN17th of debt
charges on this community uas not been
disproportional, considering the recent de-
velopment of the state.
Second, that the rate of increase has
been smaller in Minnesota than in other
states under somewhat similar conditions.
Third, that the increase of debt is an in
cident of the increase of wealth and has
only fairly kept pace with it.
Fourth, that by far the largest share of
this load has been assumed by the dealers
in city property, and that the increase in
farm debts is not above the normal.
There is one other point in these sta
tistics that should be brought out en-
phatically. Every Populist speaker en-
deavors to impress the farmer with a
sense of the outrage committed upon him
by the appreciation in the value of money.
No such appreciation can injure the
farmer only if it takes place between the
time when his debt is contracted and the
time when it has to be paid. All these
calamities, however, run back to the
demonstration of silver in 1873, and the
alleged contraction of currency since then.
But if what they assert should be true
instead of being false, as it is, their argu-
ment would be worthless. It is shown by
this census bulletin that the average life
of a mortgage upon farm property is only
four and a half years, h period SO short
that not even the most reckless ranter on
financial topics, would claim that there
had been an appreciable change within it
in the value of money. AS far as the
farmer is concerned, therefore, the injury
supposed to be done him by the alteration
in money values, becomes, in the light OF
these figures, mere smoke and moon
shine

who propose to use the labor unions as a
ladder by which they themselves may
climb to coveted political preferment The
motives of these men are too apparent to
compass success. No political party ever
achieved success in this country or OBJ
tanned permanent place in the hearts of
the people, without devotion to some prin-
ciple of government. The Populist party,
as it is differed today, and as it has made
its record in the few states where it has
been placed in control, stands for
no principle: 1t stands for greed
and gain, lust of power, class hatred,
and the overthrow of law and
order. The percentage of sincere and
honest workingmen who can be driven to

their leaders, is not likely to be larger
than the percentage who are guilty of acts

ST MICHAEL's STEEPLE BLOWN OVER.
 During terrific hurricane on Wednes- day morning, the wooden steeple on St
 Michaers church was blown down. It happened just about o'clock and was
 witnessed by several people. The wind
 was almost directly from the east and owing to this fact the church proper
 was not injured at all. The steeple in it's fall described a graceful curve and struck squalely on it's apex on the lawn in front of the building. The point was driven fully four feet into the ground, and for about 10 minutes the steeple performed the curious feat of standing on it's head. inelining slightly toward the building. Ropes were procured and an attempt made to pull it over into the street, but it gradually settled the other way and at last with wild crash, fell over against the belfry tower, with it's butt resting just above the large window in the organ loft. The only damage done besides the wreck of the steeple, was the ripping off of some of the moulding over the entrance and the demolition of the lamp post. One of the four pima cles on the tower was also blown over and partially destroyed. The general opinion is that the church looks much better without the steeple. It is very lucky that it was blown over by an east wind. for if it had gone over in the other direction the church or adjacent build-

AT THE CREAMERY.

Things are lively already. With a dozen cream patrons, Il who bring milk, several more to begin soon and two creamers sold or paid for the past week there is every prospect that the business will meet successful issue. Milk and cream by rail are becoming an estab- lished fact, daily shipments being made. As high as l450 spaces of cream have been received in a single day in this way alone. Two and sometimes three churn- ings are made daily, amounting some- times to 240 pounds of butter and more. Stepney creamery is in the midst of a grand dairy region, extending for miles east, north and west, and has on the south big and hungry city only 10 miles away. It must be success. 1t cannot help being In the hands of an ac tive and enterprising man with little capital. Even the creamery by products, which in back country sections are worth but little, here are prized, and proved to be worth nearly or quite one cent per quart for making choice young pork, veal and raising more fine dairy stock.
