THE TURK LEFT.
Collected a Good Sum and Said Tam
kato Was No Good.

George Solomon, who claimed to be
a Turkish missionary from Palestine
and whose arrival was noted IN the
FREE PRESS last week, left town yes
terday.
His business, it seems, is not to give
lectures drought the country, but to
collect money from ministers ana
societies of Christian churches in this
country. He was evidently not par
ticular as to the creed, for he visited
nearly every pastor in town and ne
succeeded in collecting about ST.
Pretty fair days work, but he said to
Joseph Stahl, just before he went
away, that Mankato was "Nugh goot, "
and kicked because he hadn't 500 OF
Mankato coin to jingle in the pockets
of his Turkish blOomerS.
His Sultanic majesty stated that he
intends to build Christian churches
and school houses in the Holy Land
He saida fine building can be erected
for 500.

THE ID. NJ. M. s O. AIR LINE.
A Railroad That Would Pay Large
Returns.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
If a railway were run from Duluth
to Minneapolis, thence to Mankato,
and thence to Omaha it would be
almost an air line, as it would in leav-
ing Council Bluffs run up Mosquito
creek and have an easy grade out
of the valley of the Missouri river. 1t
would give Omaha line to lake navi-
CATION nearly 100 miles shorter than
any road at present to Chicago. 1t
would run through thickly settled
agricultural country from Minneapolis
to the Missouri river which would be
increased twenty per cent in value for
a distance of five miles on each side of
the road by giving low transportation
to eastern markets. 1t would almost
pay the owners of these farms to build
the road. 1t would be the shortest
route for the products of all Nebraska
and the northern part of Kansas to
the great lakes, as it runs through a
rich, thickly settled country, and as
four large cities are on it's way, the
local traffic would be profitable. If
built, at present prices of labor and
material, it would, on the return Of
good times, be worth double what it
cost. THOMAS SHARP.

Saloons Disappearing.

jackson, Jan. 1.-THE stringent law
and prohibition is rapidly driving the
saloon from Mississippi, If the de-
crease in the number of saloons con-
tinues for the next few years as it has
in tho last two or three, saloon will be
a curiosity. For tho twelve months OF
1894 only thirteen counties sold whisky
legally during any of that period. Sew
eral OF these counties have in the last
few months voted out the traffic in
liquors. Numerous counties which have
never voted for prohibition, however,
have no liquors sold within their bor-
ders. II them the stringent regulations
and high license have served the same
purpose. No license, even in the small
est towns, can be granted for less than
5000, as a State license, and the munici-
pality can assess as much more as it
desires, provided it in no case makes
the amount less than % per cent.

CHEAPER CLOTHES,
Beueficent Effects OF the Democratic Tar
IN TN Wool.


With the beginning of the new year
the democratic tariff on wool and on
clothing takes effect The provisions
of this democratic measure take off the
duty on wool and reduce the duty on
manufactured clothing. The effect Of
this measure will be to reduce the cost
of the clothing of the people of the
United States the amount Of two hun
dred million dollars year. This Is
the equivalent of the duties levied on
wool and woolen cloths by the McKin-
ley tariff and OF the reduction made by
the democratic tariff.
1t will be easy for anyone who uses
wool in any way as an article either Of
manufacture or personal apparel to
prove the amount of this reduction by
the difference in the market price, not
only in the trade, but In the retail stores.
Blankets, clothing of all kinds and
every other manufacture made of wool
are prompt to show the beneflcent ef-
feets of the democratic tariff.
HlS TeuuctlOH mas peeu accomplished
without the closing Of any mills or the
reduction Of any workingman's wages.
The American manufacturer and the
American workingman Is capable Of
competing with all the other manufac-
turers and worlsingmen OF the world If
he has his raw materials and his sources
Of production free from taxation. The
Mckinley tariff put the burden of its
high taxation on the raw wool. That
increased the price to the manufacture
er and made 1t necessary for him to re-
coup himself by tariff on his product.
This tariff compounded by interest and
profits piled up 80 high that the Ameri-
can manufacturer was not able to COM
pete in finished cloth In the markets Of
the world.
Now that wool is free the American
manufacturer and the American work
ingman are unfettered. Not only do
the consumers get every article OF
woolen goods they use at low rate,
but the manufacturers ore enabled 70
