NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.

L
party carried the country in 1892, and
went to the devil in 1894.
Wealth Makers: Bonds for the bank
ersl Soup for the suckers that do the
voting! Let the eagle scream!
Caliope. A government of injunc-
tions. by judges, for the corporations.
What shall we call it,evolution or dev-
Hutton?
Oshkosh tWis.) Advocate: Take the
government out of the banking bust
ness, eh? What? Put the banks in
the government business!
Mandan Pioneer: There is no more
forcible writer among the Populists
than lgnatius Donnelly, of the REP
RESENTATIvE.
Facts and Figures: A toothpick
factory is said to have suspended. So
many people are living on soup that
toothpickS are drug on the market.
New Orleans Issue: If greenbacks,
which are government promises to
pay" are not good, why would bank,
notes which are government promises
to see paid, be as good?
Ritzville (Wash.) Mail: Times are
very hard, but we are safe in affirming
that there are no farmers who will be
reduced to the extremity of fighting
the income tax law in the courts in or
der to keep down losses.
Litchfield Ledger Rep.): We have
been an occasional visitor to St. Paul
ever since 1860, and during all that
time we have never witnessed the evil
dences Of stagnation in business that
seem to exist at the present time.
Preston Courier: A Courier sub
scriber remarked the other day that
he was getting weary of Republican
confidence" when offered $3.50 for
hogs. Knute's 10000 ajority don't
seem to raise prices much.
Waterville Advance: An attempt
will probably be made to defeat the
state capitol bill. The prevailing hard
times and the fact that the old build
ing is adequate is the basis of the Op-
position. Then, too, Minneapolis is
not feeling real sweet on st. Paul this
winter. The capitol measure is dead
duck.
Clarktield Advocate: r. A. Foster,
of WinOna, has secured corner on
the egg market and will force the
price OF eggs up to 80 or 40 cents
dozen in eastern cities. In the mean
time the price paid to Western farm.
ers will not be increased but rather
lowered. The Spectator is jubilant
over his success and expects to make
a great fortune in few weeks.
Gov. Waite in Chicago Times inter
view: Even the government loans
money to the whisky men. and that
without interest, storing without cost
to the whiskey men, in expensive bond
ed warehouses, the product of their
distilleries, there to remain until the
tax is paid-practically a loan to the
distillers. That's all right when corn
is made into whisky: but when it's
corn-my God! Then it's unconstitu-
tional.
Rock County News DENY: The
ShylOckS of Wall street are controlling
the finances of this country, and con-
gress, too! What right have the Roth
childS to dictate to President Cleve-
land or congress as to what shall be
bedOne? Gust every man, from presi-
dent down, that refuses to legislate
for the people at large and hesitates
to declare his freedom from trusts and
Wall street.
Fort Collins (Col.) Standard, Our
all fat friend Cleveland visited Column
bus, S. c., the other day and the legis-
lature being in session member Of
fered resolution that Cleveland be
invited to visit the legislature and &C
corded the privilege of the floor. Soon
as the resolution was read several
members objected and Representative
Dugan moved that it be laid on the
table. The motion was agreed to
unanimously. So much for our "all

larry, his interes t-bearing indebted
ness? II not, how can government
increase its credit by going deeper and
deeper into debt-buying it's own
money (greenbacks) which. are just 'as
good as gold'' and which the people
generally prefer to gold-and issue in
their stead, bonds upon which it will
have to pay interest? business is
business" and why should the gov
eminent be asked to do that which no
reasonable business man would think
Of doing?
Duluth Commonwealth: They saw
| the reason the bonds we're negotiated
| for per cent less than similar bonds
would fetch in open market was that
the syndicate has promised to protect
the government for the remainder of
this term against gold raids The only
thing like that in the contract that
has been published is where the gov
| eminent agrees to give the syndicate
the first chance at any future bond is
sue in consideration of their patriotic
comic to the rescue.
Martin County Sentinel (Rep.): The
Minneapolis Tribune, one of the
strongest supporters of corporations
and the money power published in the
state, forgot itself few days ago, in
an editorial concerning the proba BILE
results of war between Mexico and
Guatemala, and declared Mexico at
present to be very prosperous. This is
quite significant when we consider
how inferior Mexicans are to Ameri-
cans In everything that goes to make
a people prosperous, and the further
fact that Mexico is doing business on
silver basis. 1t is better to tell the
truth by mistake than to prevarica tie
increasingly.
Methodist Herald: The trial of
Harry Hayward on charge of the
murder of Miss Cling loses none of its
tragic interest as it progresses. The
perslstency and apparent candor Of
Claus Biixt, the Self-cOnfesSed murder
