From Wednesdays Minneapolis Tribune:
A WELCOME RECRUIT.
That is significant letter W. ich
the Tribune publishes today from
Isaac E. Staples, of Morrison
county, formally announcing the
severance of his connection with
the Democratic party. The Little
Falls Daily Transcript, in which
the letter appears, says that for
eight years Mr.. Staples has been
clerk of the court of Morrison
county, elected by Democratic
votes. He now occupies that Of
flee and is also mayor of the city
of Little Falls. He has occupied
prominent places on Democratic
committees and has been one Of
the most active and influential
workers in the party. It is con-
coded that had he remained a
Democrat, his party would have
nominated him again for clerk of
court the present year. Thus it
will be seen that Mr.. Staples
makes a sacrifice in leaving his
old party. The reasons he gives
for so doing are strong and CO.
herent and such as address them
selves to the common sense of
every Intelligent voter. One of
the strongest points he makes is
in showing the failure ofthe Dem
ocratic party to keep it's promises.
He says that the younger and
progressive element Of the party
has for years been looking forward
to the assumption of power by the
Democracy, believing that If it
could have complete control it
would inaugurate and carry out
a line of policy which would be of
great benefit to the nation. For
more than year it has had COM
plete control, and what is the re.
suit? 1--WE find to the contrary
says Mr.. Staples "that the ques-
tion Of free trade or protection is
no longer party or national issue
but a sectional difference. One
state demanding a tariff on sugar,
another inclined toward the pro-
lection of iron, and others rice
and tobacco, the party ignoring
the platform, wearing one mask
with the freestraders of the North.
west and Southeast, and replacing
it with another when facing the
iron industries Of Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Alabama'and Tennessee,
or the sugar industries Of Louisi-
ana. Tariff law now advocated
protects the interests of the South
and strikes at those of the North
that are not controlled by great
trusts -
This arraignment Eof his old
party is sufficiently severe, and
Mr.. Staples may we'll exclaim, *'I
feel that [ have long been laboring
under political delusions.'' He
calls attention to the fact that
thousands of. our factories are
closed, millions thrown out of
employment, and wages reduced
all owing tr the incapacity ofDem-
ocratic rule. Daily: failures, open
soup houses and organized charity
haYe taken the place Of prosperity
under Repu blican rule. These re.
suits Of the first Democratic vic.
tory, Mr. Staples concl udes, dem.
onstrates that the success Of The
party III the nation s disast er. The
Transcript says that Mr.. Staples Is
but one Of scores who have left
the Demo- partv In Little
Falls and Morrison county this
year. Practically the same tale .
comes to the Tribune from all
over the state. p erhaps the best
thing the Minnesota Democracy
can dois to fuse with the Populists
after all

One. Point on County Finances.

Last year, 1898, Morrison county
collected for the county revenue fund
$15,O11 25 and issued warrants
against that fund for $25, 3S6.25. The
highest rate of taxation allowed by
NV for county revenue, 5 mills on
the dollar, was levied, and still the
receipts were $4,000 less than the
orders issued against the fund. II
the county assessment was reduced
what would be the future condition
of the county? With the highesttax
rate possible for county revenue, the
expenses are SO great that in this
debt $4,000 in 1898. The receipts
will decrease in the same proportion
as the valuation decreases, and what
hope is there Of a decrease in expen-
ditures? Other counties can be run
on the amount OF revenue the law al
lows them to collect, but the limit
here only provides three-fiftls the
necessary amount. These facts
should cause our taxpayers 70 study
the situation, and see if something
cannot be done to improve it.
Our county revenue expenses
are unnaturally high, and must be
decreased. II is a question of the
greatest Importance to the county,
and will certainly receive the careful
attention of intelligent taxpayers.t
