New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-10-03

Republican policies or not, brought forth
nothing to recommend suppression of
the Republican regime in this state. Let
it be noted that the legislature of 1890,
wherein the blatant reformers of the
Dsnnelly stripe had their opportunity,
accomplished no legislation advantage
Gus to the farmers, and with the excep-
tion of passing the Australian ballet law
the record of public service was blank.
For this meager service the taxpayers
had to pay $21 900 for running expenses
more than the succeeding Republican
Legislature entailed upon them. Here is
record, on the part of the so-called AL
lance reformers, of cold-blooded ciph-
er taxing the people extravagan+ly. On
the other hand, the legislature of 1898
lowered the state taxes from 2.2 mills to
IL mills, or $3S6,OOO less than the Ali
ance legislature. It continued the form
er good Republican work of creating the
railroad and warehouse commission bv
enacting the country elevator law, which
placed all the country elevators and ware
houses handling grain under the railway
and warehouse commissioners, a measure
of conspicuous advantage to farmers,
since their grain could be inspected,
weighed and graded by state officers in
stead of the agents buyers.
The Legislature Of 1898 also continued
the good work for the farmers by enact
ing law providing that anybody may
construct an elevator and warehouse On
any siding, or at any station, and the rail
way companies, in the absence of a sid.
ing, must construct one wherever one is
demanded for use at a grain warehouse
or elevator constructed at station.
The legislature of 1898, in behalf OF
the farmers, also enacted law compell-
ing railway companies to build spur
tracks and sidings at railway functions to
facilitate the process Of transferring cars
from one road to another and to save the
delay of unloading and transferring the
grain.
In addition to these advantageous
enactments for the farmers, the Republi-
can legislature of 1898 amended the
Australian ballot law and passed an act
providing for essential reform in the state
penitentiary.
The Alliance legislature of 1891, after
tremendous beating of tom-toms and
blowing of trumpets, as precursories of
the millennium, did literally nothing for
the farmers. Nothing, indeed, has ever
been done for the farmers of this state,
or of the United States, by any party ex-
cept the Republican party. All the great
advantages oe the agricultural depart
ment, of experiment stations, of weather
service, of easy marketing, of protection
in the weighing, grading and shipping of
grain, in reduction of grain rates, etc.
have accrued to the farmers under Re-
publican auspices and the facts support
ing such assertion cannot be too FREQUENT
ly cited. And now on the verge of an
other state election the people of this
state certainly will not have much diff
Guilty in deciding for themselves Which
party has promised and performed abun-
dantly and which has promised and done
literally nothing. Minneapolis Journal
What Shall Be Done with Anarchists?
National equality does not mean equal
individual force, but merely an inherent
right to the privilege of success. There
are therefore inequalities in the personal
possessions of man. Some men have
more force. ingenuity, adaptability than
others and such men can command great
er worldly possessions than those less
competent. We have many men to-day
in high educational positions whose
claim to recognition is that they are en-
dowed with peculiar knowledge in socio-
logy and political philosophy; they inn
part the idea that inequalities in men are
brought about by other than natural laws
which enable certain class to thrive and
prosper to the detriment Of others hav-
ing an equal moral right to prosperity,
and thereby evolve system of fallacious
reasoning, that infinite wrong is commit
ted, that in the establishment of our vast
industrial enterprises, some are enabled
to become rich ina worldly sense and
others remain poor or fail to accomplish
their ambition. This rambling and dis
connected view is brought to light IN our
literature and in the teachings of men
