In the different parts Of the country
he had visited he said:
- found that the South, more es-
peclally the agricultural section. had
not felt the depression so much as we
have at the North. This is largely
due to the fact that they have had
several years Of poor results. The
1ar-reaching events of last year have
not seemed to touch the strictly
agricultural portion OF that section,
so things are in normal condition.
The country generally is not prosper
Gus on account of the low price of
cotton which has prevailed.
After | left the South l went to
New York, where / spent some little

1.-The great problem of what is to
become OF silver must be solved, but
there seems to be feeling among
the other great trading nations of
Cne world that sooner or later some
plan will be determined upon by
which silver can be used as money on
basis that will keep it equal to
gold. L am fully conui,,ced that the
amount Of gold IN circulation IN the scorld
does not form q broad enough basis for
uH the banking and credit facilities for use
an commerce. The silver must be
utilized, and in few years we may

chronicle the sudden and unexpected
death of Hon. Charles Canning, of
Duluth, one of the leading Alliance
men and Populists of this state. He
was present at our last annual meet

will be universally lamented wher-
ever known, as an earnest, honest,
able man. Peace to his spirit wher-

P. S.-Just as we go to press we
learn, from the morning papers, that
he committed suicide, by drowning
himself in the Red River, during a
temporary fit of insanity;-ca it
is said, by depression on account of
the A. P. A. victory in Duluth over
the Populists.
He will be enrolled as one of the
