Congressman johnson IN Debate

Congressman Johnson IN Debate.
During the recent debate on the Bland
bill in congress the members had fun oc-
casionally as we'll rs sharp fighting. A
portion of the amusement was caused by
Congressman johnson OF North Dakota
who took part in the debate, and who
advocated the redemption Of silver in
gold. The Casselton Republican reports
| the incident:
Mr.. johnson related the incident Of bis
holding up one dollar, each OF our differ
ent kinds of paper money In his audi
ences during the last campaign, and OF
tering to give the whole bunch of money
to any one who would give a reasonable
definition of what constitutes Il green
back, a treasury note, silver certificate
and u national bank note. Congressman
Powers, a Vermonter, who talks through
his nose, and says "keow" for COW, arose
and interrupted Mr.. Johnson's sell
euIogy with: IL understand you to So.
you have taken out your money in your
own district. Was your vote increased
after that?" This was followed by rude
and boistorious laughter.
| Then Mr.. johnson made the same otfel
to the members of the house that be haO
made to his audiences in North Dakota
whereupon = Mr.. johnson. Of Posey Hol
low, Pusey county, Indiana. said: Make
it so go that it will be some object
Some men are SO modest that they dc
not like to rise before such an audienc.
AZ this for ST." More laughter.
| Than Mr. johnson ro)ataI h,s expe
rience with Treasurer Curtis in trying t,
get gold for u $40 silver certificate TO sat
isfy himself that the two metals wer
kept on a parity by this administration
He said the treasurer refused to Civ
him gold Tor his silver, which statemen
brought out this consoling remark fror
LATE Pence, member from tho san
hills OF Colorado: Curtis buncoed you.
This WAS followed by another hors
laugh.

COSTS SO CENTS
To CaiSc Hushel of Wheat in the
Red River Valley.

To CaiSc Bushel of Wheat in the
Red River Valley.
A Red river valley farmer estimates
the cost Of raising bushel Of wheat ID
1893. with II bushels yield, to be So cents.
This was raised on farm of 720 acres,
500 of which were in wheat, 100 reserved
for hay and pasture, and l25 summer fall
lowed. The above cost of Sc cents does
not allow anything for $4,000 invested
in land, stock, tools, buildings, etc. The
writer gives as the items OF expense, the
labor actually necessary at the going
wages paid last year, the board Of men,
twine, hail insurance. taxes. fuel, repairs,
threshing at L. cents bushel for wheat
and cents for oats. seed wheat, seed
oats, and from this delucts 5000 for
sale OF butter, eggs. and hogs raised on
the farm. Wear and tear on stock build-
ings, tools, etc, and interest on the in
| vestment is not figured in at all. The
farmers conclusions, as he gives them to
the readers of the Fargo Forum, are:
Now what must our farmers do. or
what can they do? They must raise less
wheat and more of something else in go
far as they can get even an equal amount
OF money by the change; they must gel
along with less help and must pay {
great deal less TO what they do employ
1t is plainly to be seen that unless thit
can be done the farmers may se vel
quit entirely. With a year or Two more
such as we are now experiencing but few
farmers will have anything they can cal
their own. The remedy nearest at hane
is as indicated and it must be used t
the greatest advantage, but do the bee
possible IN the way of economy and an.
relief will be only temporary.
Our Industries are staggering under
burden of heavy charges for interest AM
transportation for which the remedy i
political. The money must be issued b.
the nation-must be free from the meta
redemption dollar swapping lunacy an
must pay every debt, public or private
The government must also do the bank
ing Of the country and devise way TO
loaning money at low rate SO our peo
pie may enjoy the results OF their la boz
OF which they are now deprived mainl
through the exactlons OF high lnteres
way above what it is impossible for tn
industry to produce.

tMayhew's Tap Road.'

The object Of Henry Mayhew's long
trip to Duluth on snow shoes turns out
to be in connection with plans for build
ing the proposed railroad from Grand
Marais to the eastern Vermilion range.
He has been in conference with the Chi
cagoan who was to furnish the capital.
The latter wants an extension Of time

We are informed that the above tie m
is what can be termed ''too previous"
The party who controls the franchise
and who must first be consulted is now
and was in Grand Marais when Mr..
Mayhem left for Duluth. The assign
nent of said franchise was for two years.
It would seem from that as if the re-
quest for an extension of time was pure
fake. We said three weeks ago that
this enterprise was above being influ-
enced by local parties and we think so
yet.
