Doom of the Small Town.

A late number of the New York
World contains an article ON this
subject that ought to excite both the
interest and the apprehension of the
denizens OF such towns. There is no
question that our present system is
resulting in the centraliZing Of pOpu-
latiOn as it is of wealth. The dis
elimination OF railroads against the
small and in favor Of the large town,
against the small and in favor OF the
large manufacturer and merchant,
is the chief factor in the work OF
doom to the small town, for it is to
interest of the railroad to keep pro-
ducer and consumer as far apart as
possible. Believing that industrial
and social health will follow Il pro-
per distribution OF wealth, +. 5. <
H. has ever favored a regulation OF
railroads that would make their pres
ent ruinous determinations impos-
sible, and some time it will dawn
upon the business men and property
owners of country towns that in
this respect this journal has been
their most considerable friend
Farm, Stock and Home.
The above fact, and it is a fact
that anyone can observe for him.
self, is one of the strongest argu-
ments for government operation
of Transportation facilities When
the small towns realize it they
will see that they have no chance
for growth now in competition
with larger towns favored by re-
bates, and carload or trainload
shipments. Small towns are dy-
ing out all over the State of
Minnesota from this cause, and
yet the inhabitants thereof keep
right on fighting the Peoples
Party for advocating govern
ment OWNERSHIP p and operation OF
railroads and equal rates to all
localities. When will these people
learn what is for their own good?

Who dare say that such a thing;
is improbable or impossible?
What is the use to try to hide
the fact that this nation is stand

pay out silver, for if they do it
will "drive out of the country"
and put a premium upon it.
Frances treasury officials do pay
out silver, notwithstanding the
relatively large amount Of it held
there, and it does not drive gold
out of France, nor put a premium
upon it, but on the contrary the
store Of gold there is constantly
increasing. A recent report OF
the Bank of France, really the
French treasury, shows that dur
ing the year of '94 the increase
in the gold reserve was $71 ,6OO,-
600, and for the first three
months of 90 the increase was
$16, 100000, or nearly $88, OO0,-
600 for fifteen months, while in
about fourteen months the United
States borrowed $165, 100000,
to keep up her illegal reserve
and maintain the ''parity."
Notes of the Bank OF France are
payable in coin, and when pre-
sented for redemption they are
paid in coin, usually about half
and half gold and silver. Why is
that not the rule here? Probably
because the French Republic is
ruled by the people, while this
one is ruled by Wall street. At
all events, this is the only ex-
PLANTATION now in sight, II Farm,

After his course of lectures in
Minneapolis last week, W. H.
Harvey, the noted author OF
Coins Financial School and
other popular works, visited the
state university and by invita-
ton made an address in which
he dispassionate]y discussed the
free silver question. a couple OF
weeks previous a gold monomet-
alist had lectured before the
students and Was given a hearty
welcome and Endorsement by
Prof. Northrop, but if the Mime
apolis papers are to be believed,
Prof. Northrop treated Mr..
Harvey with scant courtesy il
not with positive rudeness and
took particular pains to discredit
Mr.. Harvey's arguments and to
warn the students against them.

to be converted into an educa-
tional annex for Wall street the

the better, and it may be we'll il

IN CIRCULATION,
Over $l5.O00,000 More Money on
the Move Last Month.

Washington, May :}.-The treasury
circulation statement for April shows
that during the month the cilcula-
ton OF all kinds of money in the
United States increased $l5. 249 $50,
making the total in circulation on
May !, 81 500, 434 la. or $2297 per
capita. Az compared with May !,
1894. the total circulation has de-
creased $92, 0o0, oM.- Informing Cpll.
The above little item shows
that the stagnation in business
is due to contraction of our cir
culating medium. According to
this statement our circulation
had been decreased 300, 100000
from May, 1894, to Maj cb, 1895.
No wonder business was stag
mating and getting worse and
worse. During last month 1885,
600, 900 has been let loose and
precisely during that time a
slight Improvement has been
noticed. See: This money con-
traction is what Populists have
claimed right along was the
trouble, and now facts prove
they were correct. We have said
right along, and we say now,
that as soon as our money men
will loosen their purse strings we
shall have better times. See how
they rule the destinies of this
country! They shut up the
money, and we have a panic
that staggers the whole country
from Maine to California. They
open up, and times begin to re-
vive. But damn thesystem that
allows a few men to play such
havoc with the business of TO-
100000 Of people.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, in a
speech before the Travelingmen' 8
(Rep.) Club, Of Marshalltown,
gave an extended history on the
finances of the United States. He
said the act of 1873 demonetiz-
ing silver was a ake,:though
he declared it was not a crime and
was not accomplished in secrecy.
He believes strongly in the res
tOratiOn ofsilver andis confident
that an International agreement
will be reached within reasonable
time on this question:. Allison is

sentiment is growing rapidly

Yes, Bro. Krause, "the silver
sentiment is growing rapidly"
"Allison is on the right track. -
He has got SO far as to admit
that the characterization in 1878
was a mistake, but he has not
got very far on the right track.
His hopeless in an international
agreement, something that ALI
son. and every posted man knows
will never come. England will
never agree. Gladstone has told
us SO time and again, and the
reason why. Any man that pre-
tends to favor free coinage of sill

England gets ready, is simply a

Our readers have noticed that
since Mr.. Lawson took hold OF
the local news columns, the Tri-
bune has been full of county news.
He will make it the newspaper OF
the county that everybody will
want to read. We ask our read
ers throughout the county to can
vass their neighbors for new sub
scribers. just tell them they
must read the Tribune to learn
the news. Tell them that they
need not read Doctor Johnson's
articles if they don't want to,
but. that Mr.. Lawson's news

the dollar per year. A good
