EDDY'S SPEECH AGAIN.

I'm conclusion: We are and for a
long time have been suffering from a
period of unusual business depression.
The times have been hard and are
hard at present. That is one truism,
if my address does not contain a
single other, and I submit as the prin-
cipal causes for this condition OF
things:
First. The general decentralization
of silver by the leading commercial
nations of the world.
Second. The invasion and still
further threatened invasion of our
protective tariff system.
Third. The abandonment Of the re-
ciprocity scheme.
Fourth. The enormous payments
of foreign interest upon the national
and individual indebtedness.
Now what is the remedy? 1t is a
good thing for a man to know what
ails him and the causes of the ailment,
but the physician who informs a man
of his ailments and the causes there
| for, leaves his patient in more hope.

knew what was the matter with him.

ment. -
Second. A protective tariff upon all
articles produced and manufactured
in this country equal to the difference
of the cost of such production and
manufacture in this and the countries
with which we must compete.
Third. The adoption of the reel.
procity scheme in all it's fullness as
advocated by the greatest of al
statesmen, J ames G.. Blaine. i: -

UNE is taken in every English
reading farmers home in the
county. l am not satisfied with
anything less. I want you whoare
alive. to the danger of our econ
omic condition to take this m natter
in hand, and at once. Every
farmer can spare a dollar for the
paper that fights for his rights,
and will do so, no matter what
his politics are, if the subject is
brought properly to his notice.
Does the republican farmer want
to keep on selling his wheat for
40 cents or less per bushel, or
how? Can't he afford to invest
dollar in new ideas? Of course
he~can, and will too.
Another thing. You farmers
have not seen the worst this
crisis You will see lower prices
for products next year. unless
there should be an absolute fail
ure of crops over large area OF
the world, which is not likely tc
happen. Suppose you get only
IS cents for your wheat next
year, how then? Had we had
a good crop of winter wheat this
year, wheat would now be 35c
per bushel. Do you farmers
realize the slippery road you are
on? And do you want news

fearlessly? If so, boom the TR1
BUNE; if not, do as you like.
The WILLMAR TRIBUNE will
not die. It has support enough
to live, and to prosper too. But
as it is in a certain sense my
child, and started neither fo1
spite nor fun, but to help save
this beautiful farming communi
ty from an impending industrial

causing the panic We ID a t.say,

fore Cleveland was elected Pres
Efdent. Wesdo not lay the panic
to tariff chang es. Butt must
be admitted that the Dem ocrat
who 'argues;that the Mckinley
bill was the main cause Of the
hard times that did occur under
it has the best: Of the argument.
At any rate Mr.. Eddy must ad-
nit that "high tariff and reel
procity'' did not prevent the late
panic, how then can he propose it
as a remedy now? It is futile.
The fourth cause we will also
admit to be true. The drain of
money to pay interest on foreign
Indebtedness. But who is re-
sponsible for this state of affairs:
Is it not the Republican party:
If republican statesmen are in
fallible, why didn't they see this
danger and avoid it in thirty
years of glorious reign? Or are
they like the doctor who when
called to a sick man gave him
medicine that threw him into fit,
on being asked why he did that,
answered: II don't know what
ails him, but I CAN cure fits, SOL
thought I would make a disease
that I know how to treat Did
the Republican party allow this
nation to get into this vast for
eign Indebtedness, to show that
they could formulate a scheme
to relieve it?
But however desirable a relief
from this foreign Indebtedness
may be, we venture to say that
the Republican plan of help is
wholly inadequate. The common
people haven't the money-in
fact the money don't exist in the
country-to take up our bonds in
Europe. More money in the
country will be the first requisite.

This embodies our conception
Of what the Peoples partyis fight
ing for at present p: .
Willmar TRIBUNE is a Peoples
party paper, but it is not a slave
to it's own party when principles,
and the good of the nation is at
stake. It will fight .impracticable
theorists. inside of it's party as
relentlessly as it will enemies
without. The great object now
is union Of patriots of all parties
on some practical basis. The
editors of Willmar TRIBUNE, while
not wishing to dictate, are thor
oughly convinced that the above
platform embodies the issue Of
the day. Hence we give notice
to our co-workers that the Will
mar Tribune will advocate the
above views and stand on the
above platform in the coming
contest.
ThosePopulists who agree with
us, and we are convinced that we
have the brain ability and homes
ty with us, should at once assert
themselves, in a manner that
shall leave no doubt as to their
position. Positive and radical
action is at once necessary.
However desirable other re-
forms may be, they are not in is
sue now, and should not for a
moment be allowed to obscure or
divert attention from the main is
sue.
There will be, we persume, a
Peoples Party convention this
winter in the state to lay plans
for a campaign. Let leading
Peoples Party men in every coun-
ty make the call for their county
convention to elect delegates
so broad that the old party silv-
critics on the fence can cOnsci-
entiously participate. Throw the
doors wide OPEN, and hundreds
and thousands Of the best and
brainest old party men stand
ready to join us. They will final
lycome to us anyway, butwe want
them to help organize and fight
the preliminary battle. An out
stretched hand and a kind well
come will draw them at once.
Let us showthem by our actions
that we are fighting for principle,
and are not simply blind party
idolators like the old parties:

A Word To the Farmers of
kahdiyOfi Comfy.

While. new subscribers to the
TRIBUNE are continually coming
in and number have been gen
erous enough to pay in advance
for next year, still [ am not yet
satisfied with the size of our sub
scripti0n list, and I feel that I
may be excused for addressing
you farmers directly about this
matter
Last fall in the campaign you
will remem Der that we predicted
still harder times for the farmer,
unless this government should
enter on a different financial pol
icy. Whatever you may think of
my theories, you must all admit
that my prediction proved true.
A shrinking money volume pro
duces lower general prices, with
as much certainty as IRE burns,
no matter what political party
wins at the polls or what party
is in power. A belief that times
would still be harder induced me
to start the WILLMAR TRIBUNE
to advocate the cause of the com.
mon people, which means the
farmers in this section of the
country. You farmers had no
paper in the county that under
stood or dared to fearlessly es-
pouse your cause. You have
com planned Of this fact time and
again. Now, no matter what you
may think Of our effort to give
you light as to why yon have to
sell your produce for less than it
cost to raise it, you will admit
that we have at least tried the
best we know how to discuss
these matters. If you don t
agree with TRIBUNE editors in all
things, which we don't expect
you to do if you think for your
selves, you have nevertheless
got some new ideas from us. And
you must also admit that the
TRIBUNE is the only paper in the
county that discusses these
things. Our colleagues, while
they might excel US in some re:
spects, carefully refrain from
mentio Joining anything about the
diff Guilty Of the farmer or the
Ecommon man, and if perchance
they are ronted with too glar:
ing distress am 6 you to ignore

Bonds being sent back from Europe,
and also predicting financial disaster
in the event they should be- Now
for our information: We wish some
of our better informed contemporaries
would state just what occasion there
is for all this uneasness. Were not
the bonds sold and paid for? Are
they not the very best and safest in
vestment on earth? If they were
not would the English gold paid for
them ever have been forthcoming
Would there not be as much cause
Tor alarm, proportionally, if some
London broker should return a cargo
OF wheat or cotton to be sold in New
1orkf Inc only reason we can see
why either transaction would be pos
sible would be that the articles, Bonds
or wheat were worth more here than
in England. And it would seem that
their purchase by any one here or
elsewhere would be optional, and the
same with any other securities. And
then supposing the bonds did come
back and should continue to be held
in this country, the interest would
be paid here instead of sending the
gold over the ocean. And in case
the holders should want little ready
money to pull some enterprise through
it would seem possible to hypothecate
such securities. SO please inform us
where the financial danger is as I'M

At the first grand ball of the season in
the Darlington Hotel Miss Abigail Spales.
the daughter Of n wealthy farmer of East
Springfield township. had an experience
which tragically illustrates the hypnotic
craze. The wealth and fashion of half
a dozen great cities were represented Mt
this ball. hut matrons and drbutantes
were all eclipsed by the magnificent APP
pearance of Miss Spales who was not
known to any Of the members Of the floor

East and West AS the music fell into u
minor key and the strains of "Au Claire
de la Luud" echoed plainlively down the
| hall. the unknown uttered a shrek and
fell full le 9Th on the ballroom floor
In an instant all was confusion and
her apparently lifeess body was borne
away. Dr. Borland was called and dag
nosrd the case MS catalepsy.
Enquiry. however developed the fact
that the girl was the victim of hypnotic
suggestion; that she had never read Tril-
by; had never been to Il ball before, anu
actually had never waltzed before in her
life She WAS introduced to Storr Kellen,
her escort by young man whose name
is not given because criminal proceedings
are to be instituted against him. Hehyp-
noticed the girl early in the morning.,
drove her to n hotel in "a closed carriage.
and borrowed the iinery in which she was
dressed.
And so it goes. Murderers plead
as an excuse for their crime that they
were hypnotized; thieves the same.
And in all cases the influence is man.
Tested in a baleful and never a ben
eflclal manner. Surely we are on
the back track and the hypnotic
craze is mile stone.

the crime. The expense so far has
been enormous, and the jury is not
