HOW IT. WILL WORK.
CanadiaA Farmers VIII PROFIT By the wfl-
SON Bill.

Canadian Farmers VIII PROFIT By the wf-
SON Bill.
The Wilson bill opens our market to
the producers of Canada and gives them
an equal share in all our trade. They
pay no taxes in the United States, they
live cheaper, pay lower wages and can
usually sell for the same price or even
less and make money.
Hitherto they, under the Mckinley
bill, have made up what they did not
pay in taxes on farms and plants In the
United States by protective tariff at
the border. We saw that our own farm
ers, our own workmen and our own
manufacturers were given fair show;
that those who built up our towns, in
creased our industries, cleared our lands,
built our schoolhouses and churches
and maintained them-that these were
not subjected to ruinous competition;
that what they expended In the mate
rial development Of the country was
held for them. We all have to pay taxes
and all have to do our due share toward
helping to maintain law and order.
Those who do these things should not
be made to suffer for the benefit Of this
stranger, for him whose capital plant,
farm and industry are in foreign ooun-
try and who is not and cannot be q fac
tor Of our own national wealth. The
Canadian manufacturer, farmer or me-
chanio had to pay at the border a tax
equivalent, so far as could be computed,
to the full cost Of the privileges our
market offered him.
It is very much like city which
builds sidewalks, grades streets, puts in
waterworks, fire systems, builds and
maintains schools, ereots churches and
does all those things which make life
pleasant and agreeable. OF course these
things cost money, and to meet these ex-
penses taxes are laid on land, houses,
mercantile establishments, etc.
What would we think Of the political
economy which would allow peddlers to
go from house to house and sell every
article Of household need and luxury
without let, hindranoe, tax or icense2
They would drive over streets paved by
the money Of their competitors free Of
any tax. They would return nothing to
the municipality which allowed them to

"a Statement in the Demo
GRAFT and Herald About
County Finances that
Would
Puzzle Any Sane Person,
and Has the Appear
anceOf Coming from
-: the Court House
Gang.

The Morrison county Democrat OF
September 20. contains an article
headed ..Who Lies" and it pretends
to be a statement ABOUT the finances
of Morrison county. We cannot De-
lieve that any newspaper man YOU'D
construct the absurd tables OF figures
there presented. and certainly no
official will dare father them as being
a fair statement in the matter.
There is a good deal o. opportunity
to iuggle figures in county finances,
and puzzle the careless reader, by rea-
son of the peculiar system OF over
drafts carried in some funds. Money
paid to the county treasnrerfor some
funds has been used to pay orders
drawn ON other funds, and it there
fore takes some investigation TO
show how any fund stands.
Refuses and puzzles form entertain
ing parts of many publications.
When person has opportunity TO
study such literature and at the
same time consider what purports
to be q defense of the conduct OF
county affairs, it would seem that 1T
should be improved. Following is
the article:

crat and Transcript and then Draw
Your Own Conclusions.
Somebody has Lied and it Wasn't US.

The Transcript editor who thought
or at least tried to make the people
think-he had found a Sis, 900 increase
of the county debt during 1898 over
1892. has been forced to drop down to
$lO,0OO-a very small item foe concern
like the TRANSCRIPTION yet he has not
got down to the truth, as we will show
below in plain, cold figures. 10 begin
with be knows perfectly we'll who are
responsible for the entire excess, as he
has access TO the financial statements
of the two years, but he is not honest
enough to put the blame where it be-
lOqs-if any blame can be said to at
tach-but rings the charge, like the
rain, alike upon the just and unjust.
He designs to make people who are not
familiar with the county finances be-
liove that Frank Ellenbecker, Joe
Meyer, Henry Goulet, Dcnat Trettel
and few others who cannot possibly
affect the county debt a penny, are as
much to blame as the board Of county
commissioners, the purchasing agent or
the clerk of the court, some Of whom
handle all the county finances and al
low others 10 impose on them with ex-
cessive bills. Below We give some
figures taken from the financial state
ment, which shows cOnclusively that
the actual excess of expenses of 1898
over 1892 is $6,337.98, and also just
where it come from and who is to blame

first table. OF course to get that the {,
item other additional expenses,
$$496.43.', WAS necessary. That was
just an arbitrary amount taken to
make the statement have q plausible
appearance.
Notice the statement that precedes
the second table, increase OF rev
enue ORDERS etc. The county audi
tors financial statement for 1892
shows that the revenue expenses for
that year were $2O,5s7 Al, and the f.
nancial sta tement for 1893 shows that
the revenue expenses for 1893 were
$25, 1887 .25. The increase was 81, $780,
IS. This amount of Increase is not
of vital Importance, only to show
the gang are increasing in extrava-
gance. But tits important that any
figures given be true ones.
The complaint is not solely about
the expenses OF 1898, but about 1892
and other years as well. In 1892 the
expenses far exceeded the receipts,
and they also did in 1898. and why
the court house crowd and their or
gans should be SO anxious to de-
ceive us to the difference. we cannot
understand. They want to prove
that they spent over $4,000 more in
1893 than they did in 1892. but we
wish to defend them. They don't
know what they spent either year.
apparently, but the Transcript will
try to inform them If our marvel
of county auditor can't prepare
better statement than that. he bet
ter fall back ON his dignity, deny all
responsibility for anything, and do
all he can to elect the great Demo
cratic ticket.
Deputy Auditor Brick could
scarcely prepare a more foolish
sta tement, although his erroneous
and fatal letter during .the city cam
paign of last spring showed that his
advantages had been good for learn
ing how to form strange conclusions
from figures in financial sta tements.
The question of the management
of county affairs is the impor> ant
one before the voters Of Morrison
county this fall, and they will learn
the truth. The efforts of the gang
to deceive them will result in still
greater determine ton OF the people
to place an entire new set Of men in
county office. 1t is an absolute ne
cessity that a radical change be
made in the control of county mat
ters, and the sweep should he clean
one.
A man who is on the DemOcra tic
ticket is working to elect the balance
of the ticket, and is therefore assist
| ing in the effort to maintain the con-
| tr(.l of county affairs in the hands of
the present extravagant, faithless
and Improbable officials. Every
man on the ticket should be beaten,
and a thorough erstanding by
the people Of the condition of the
county will overwhelm the court
house crowd.
The Transcript will later give
proper attention to the comments
that precede and follow the table OF
figures in the Democrats article.
There will be no complaint, when
the campaign is finished, that the
Transcript has avoided any material
details in the discussion of county
finances.

Transcript editor and the public can

public from being further humbugged
