JUNIOR EDITOR'SCORNER.

The ST. Cloud Journal-Press
(which, by the way, has not fav-
ored US with an exchange since
the Doctor stroked it's fur the
wrong way last summer) is quo
ted approvingly by the Willmar
Argus this week in an article en-
titled, Just a Suggestion,
and in the same attempts to show
that the appreciation of gold is
not responsible for the greater
portion of the decrease in price
of commodities, the low wheat
prices for instance as being due
todecreased cost of production.
In other words, the farmer is not
as badly off as he thinks he is be-
cause he can raise his grain more
cheaply now than was possible
a few years ago. OF course any
farmer will readily see that with
increasing taxes and the drain on
the fertility of the soil the cost
of raising grain has not decreased
to any extent. But it was not
this discrepancy in the Journal
reasoning that We wished to
call special attention to. The
Journal concludes that the test
of values is the cost of labor, and
draws comfort from the fact that
prior to 1892 (before silver had
received it's final death blow wa
ges were as high as eyer. We
believe if the wage test were apr
piled now, impartially, the re-
suit would be staggering. Take
the aggregate amount of wages
paid to labor in the whole country
and divide the sum by the total
number Of laborers, whether en-
: ployed or not, and we are under
the impression that the J,-P.
would find that each man could
not buy as many gold dollars for
his labor as he could in 1872, If
the same test would be applied to
that year H. IT. :, n.
The subject of wages brings tx
mind the problem of farm wages
which is staring our farmers il
the face. The wages Of farm la
borers have beer kept up in spite
of the fact that the farmers abil

A WORK OF ART

And an ornament to the finest man
sion in the land.
If you are a subscriber to the
HERALD all you will have to do is to
send the price quoted above together
with the photograph you wish to have
enlarged and coupon cut from the
bottom of this page to the Portrait
Department of the HERALD and the
portrait will be executed at once and
forwarded to your address.
The size of these portraits being
14x17 inches, it is not safe to forward
them by mail, so all portraits ordered
by our out-of town patrons will be
forwarded to them by Wells Fargo
Express. The cost of the expreSsage
on these unframed pictures is rarely
over 25 cents, which is a small price
to pay for their transportation when
the safe delivery of the portrait is
considered.
All city orders for portraits will be
delivered directly, to the address of
the subscriber ordering them.

the first requisite for a good portrait

desired to make this arrangement so
that the work could be done without
any additional expense to the sub

pensive, as it was necessary to have the
work of the best artist that could be

it has arranged with

Cutting Tools.

A writer in The Engineering Maga-
zine calls attention to the fact that
cutting tools on metals do not al
ways wear to the extent that is com.
monty supposed. Ordinarily they
are burned by too great a speed, this
burn being accounted for as follows:
When two pieces of similar metal
are moved, the one upon the other,
while held together with consider
able pressure and without lubri-
cant, they soon will weld together
at the point undergoing tho greatest
strain and friction. Thus, an iron
shaft in an .ron box becomes cut or
CALLED, and. similarly, the point of
the steel tool when cutting iron is
often taken away after doing but lit
tie work. Dissimilar metals, how
ever, do not burn each other to so
great an extent. When an iron shaft
is contained in box of bronze, one
metal being no harder than the other,
they seldom or never unite, and
therefore, steel tool can cut brass
or hard bronze at very high speeds.
In planning cast steel, it is thought
questionable whether speed above
IL feet per minute is safe, though in
the case Of cast iron, where graphite
is present in the iron, it lubricates
the tool, and sometimes it is safe to
cut 20 feet each minute through the
material.

ment accepted second mortgage, and
halved the length of the road, which
must be completed before each new sup

Revenue Not Needed.

The following extract, from the New
has appeared in the editorial columns
of the Morning News in respect to the
republican plan for meeting the treasury
emergency. After reciting the details of
the plan, the Herald says:
IF the republicans, who now have con-
troll of the House by an overwhelming
majority, will only rise above the level
of partisanship and promptly take such
action as Mr.. Cleveland has urged and
the public interests demand they win win
lasting credit for their party and merit
the thanks of the country. But it is to
be borne in mind that the Presidents APP
peal is not for revenue, but for treasury
relief and protection of the public credit
and that what the emergency calls for is
not money. but a financial remedy for
the menacing drain on the gold reserve.
1T is reported, however, that the repub-
lican managers will ignore this vital truth
and seek to take advantage of the situa-
ton by forcing through a tariff measure
either coupled with or Independently of
the financial bill. Any tariff tinkering at
the present time would be worse than
useless. 1t would be mischievous More
revenue is not the remedy needed, and
the business interests of the country
would suffer from tariff agitation at the
very time when exemption from such ag-
itation is essential to prosperity"
The plan proposed by the republicans
for the treasury's relief has more politics
than patriotism in it. 1t is a pity that
they cannot rise above partisanship in
the present emergency and legislate
wholly and solely for the good of the
country. AS the Morning News has point
ed out, more revenue is not needed. More
revenue will not add TO the ability Of the
treasury to maintain gold payments Not
more money, but a certain kind of money
is what is wanted. The republicans know
what is wanted, but they do not intend
10 provide it, They are endeavoring to
shape legislation so as to benefit their
party. The interest of the country ap-
pears to be matter of secondary consid-
Grafton with them. 1t is hardly likely
that the President would approve a bill
greatly increasing the tariff. and the pros
pect of "A bond bill getting through the
Senate is not promising-even coin bill
such as is proposed. The result will be
that there viii be no legislation for the
benefit Of the treasury.
