CHEAP LITERATURE.
Even with wheat at fourty cents q
bushel and potatoes at ten, our Min
! nesota farmers can have in their
houses, this winter, literature su-
| perior to anything known in the past,
and which will, in itself, constitute
an education for both the young and
old folks To pass away the time on
the cars purchased, for ten cents each,
a couple of magazines. These are
marvels of beauty and cheapness. One
of them is entitled "The Cosmopoli-
TAM" it is published at Irvington,
New York; price $l.10 per year. 1t
contains, in the October number, the
most beautiful engravings-some "a OF
them-sOme are Of page-SiZe; also 100
pages Of interesting reading matter,
including story by Rudyard Kipllng
There is an illustrated article upon
the Cuban Struggle for Freedom;"
and another upon "The Land Of the
| Epicure," relating to the Chesapeake
| Bay, the region Of the canvaSS-back
duck the diamond back terrapin, the
soft-shell crab, the wild turkey, the
oyster and innumerable varieties of
| fish. Here too is chapter on the Pro
gress of Science; another on State
| Universities; another on the celebrat-
ed miniatures and miniature painters.
Think Of all this for $1.1O year, or
less than 10 cents month.
And here is another equally good
publication of the same kind, called
'McClure's magazine," published at
80 Lafayette Place, New York City,
for ten cents number, or 81 year in
advance. 1t contains SO pages Of read
ing matter and many engravings.
There is an illustrated history of the
London Times; another of Major Gen.
Miles, description Of the Grant and
Lincoln bronze figures, and how they
were made; an account Of the Draft
riots in 1862 with the attack on the
office Of the New York Tribune;
Fables by Robert Louis Stevenson,
author of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, !"
with many stories.
Now l have not a cents worth of in
tercst in either of these publications;
and do not know man connected
with them, but it occurs to me that |
should call the attention of our farm
ers to them. For S. 10 they can secure
these two magazines for year! What
delight and instruction for everyone
in the household There is a third,
called Muncys Magazine, but I have
not the address of the publishers.
The mind must eat as we'll as the
body; and the men who feed both body
and mind live longer than those who
forget they have reasoning soul, and
contine their thoughts to their stom-
achs and backs as the beginning and
end Of all things.
Here you are, good reader, probably
paying 81 year for couple of old
party weekly newspapers, which distil
into your long ears lot Of subtle lies,
to impoyerish you and enrich fellows
living somewhere else. You might
just as we'll pay 81 year to be inocu
lated with small pox and yellow fever
Cut them off and try these two maga-
zines; and il you make oath at the
end of the year that you did not get
the worth of your money l will pay
you back your two dollars.
| GREAT FALLS.
| Great Falls is wonderful place. 1t
is built at the cataracts of the Mis-
souri, River. Twelve years ago it was
wilderness-today there are 10000
people living here; magnificent t
stores, banks, churches, private resi-
| dences, two daily papers, two copper
smelters, one of which employees 200
workmen, and the other 800, with a
| pay roll in the city, and in the terri
tory Immediately around it of 5000, 600
a month. Its future possibilities are
| Infinite. The river is succession of
water-powers, tumbling 600 feet in
five miles. Its available power is esti-
mated at 100000 horsepower, at its
| lowest stage Of water. This is equal
to Niagara. Minneapolis has, at it's
lowest stage, about 5000 horsepower
| Compare the two:--500, 900 and 5000.
And yet, Minneapolis is and always
| will be a great city. Close at hand
are unlimited quantities of bitumin-
| Gus coal, and the mountains are full
of gold, silver and copper; while vast
herds of cattle, sheep and horses Craze
| over the hills; and the irrigated val
leys produce abundant crops If the
Peoples Party ever get control of the
government Of this country and re-
move the grip Of the Money-pOwer
FROM the throat Of enterprise, this
city and state will leap forward to
| prodigious activity and prosperity and
become the wealthiest portion of the
| continent. But the nation will have
| to be governed in the interest of the
whole people and not in the interest
| Of a few money-dealers, before that
great end can be reached. Now the
silver mines of Montana are PRACTICAL
ly closed and pail Of gloom has set
tied over the whole region. There is
still considerable silver produced, but
it is by-product" in the refining of
the copper, which has to be taken out
with other impurities.
