A QUESTION OF GRADES.

Says the Fargo Commonwealth: The
railroads will carry a man from New
York to San Francisco for $50, and a
hog for IS, and Congressman free.
The Congressman rates IS lower than
man and $74 lower than hog.
The average Congressman is there
fore farther below the hog than the
hog Is below the average citizen.
Tie world would be better off If the
gold-bug Congressman were switched
off at Chicago and run through one of
Armour's blishments where hogs
are killed and slaughtered in two min
utes by the watch. Let them go
through it like a corporation bill
through Minnesota Legislature.

CROPS OF UPPER MINNESOTA
WHAT MIR. JOHN A. WILLARD SAYS OF
CROPS BETWEEN MANKATO AND
REDWOOD FALLS

WHAT MIR. JOHN A. WILLARD SAYS OF
CROPS BETWEEN MANKATO AND
REDWOOD FALLS.
The hot winds that prevailed, sew
eral weeks ago, seem to have done a
good deal Of damage to the crops
where the ground was dry and the
drouth prevailed, and the region ada
cent to the upper Minnesota was es-
pecially effected. Mr.. John A. Will
lard, of this city, who owns one Of the
largest farms in Redwood county, was
there last Saturday. To Minneapolis
Journal reporter he said: IF the real
crop conditions were known, wheat
would sell at over eighty cents per
bushel, today. 1t is all wrong for the
daily papers to report big yield when
there is no prospect Of over one-half a
crop. 1t hurts the very men it ought
t. helr-the farmers-.who will be
abliged to sell their wheat as soon as
threshed. They will get the low
price, while the farmer who is not
forced by debt, will get the big price.
There is practically no crop betwee n
Mankato and Redwood Falls. The
crops in the Minnesota valley are a
failure, and the shortage all over Min
nesota and the Dakotas, by reason Of
the recent hot winds and drought,
ought to send the price up to SOC and
81 per ushel."-Mankato Review.

A PASSION FOR HUMANITY.
THE ENTHUSIASM FOR NATURE HAS
GIVEN WAY TO IT

THE ENTHUSIASM FOR NATURE HAS
GIVEN WAY TO 1T.
Boston, July 15.-Speaking Of "The
Christianity Personality" J. w. h.
Stuckenberg said:
''1Ae epoch of personality means a
new era. We have had enthusiasm
Tor Nature, but now we have passion
for Humanity. Things have absorbed
the attentions; now Man is the SUI
preme concern. Political economy has
discussed riches, national wealth,
value and such things: but now
Roscher, one Of the foremost ecOnO-
mists, prOnOunces Man himself the
beginning and the end Of economic
science; and Europe and America echo
the thought. Coleridge affirmed that
property is the grand basis of govern
ment, but we are far beyond that.
We know that men are the grand
basis, while property IS but an attach
ment to the personality. Or our educa-
ton the great aim has been to teach
men something; now the aim is to
make them something"
This is from the proceedings Of the
Christian Endeavorers who have re-
Gently held an immense meeting in
Boston.
Mr.Stuckenberg has said that which
is worth remembering. 1t is noble
generalization. Religion rises to
higher levels when its representatives.
can talk that way. 1t is a villain
Gus creed which subordinates Gods
noblest creature, man, to the trash
and refuse which that creature can
gather around him. 1t was making
the much-heap more honorable than
the living temple Of the Almighty.
Mr.. Stuck n berg has simply given
voice to the doctrine which the Peo-
pies Party has preached for years
past; and he justifies our assertion
that that party is a resurgence,-a
resurrection-of the spirit of God for
the benefit of the human race.
Out Of the humblest of the earth he
has made his prophets-the farmers
take the place Of the fishermen;-we
can hear, like minor note, the Ser
mon on the Mount all through the
teachings OF that organization which
breaches human brotherhood and uni
versal Justice and righte BUSINESS.

THE GOLDBUG.

There was once man who lived in New
York,
Constructed somewhat on the fashion of
He was not very long but was awfully fat,
Nothing about him was small-but his hat.
He possessed the lineaments of a tough
Was mostly composed of beef belly and
bluff,
He didn't look brilliant but seemed well-fed,
And these were the words that he said
'I'm gold-bug; I'm a gold-bug;
My name is Grover,
And that I'm all over
A gold-bug, gold-bug.
You can tell from the size Of my head"
He was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of hide.
For his country (by substitute) bled and
He rose to be sheriff and hung two men<
CBut didn't require any substitute them;
Became a mayor by bowling a reform;
And when by the same means he CHANGED to
warm
A governors chair. and presidents next,
He suddenly took new text
'T'm a gold-bug, a gold-bug;
Free silver amt in 1T
Because I'm agin' 1t,
A gold-bug, I'm a gOld-bug.
BY this cry the country was vexed.
He vetoed pensions by the job lot,
He talked about tariff and similar rot;
He tried to hand over the rebel flags,
Went hunting and fishing and got on jags;
He snorted and raved Ger the German bill
Got muddled with Gresham and stuck on
On congress his patronage used as string,
And still he continued to sing:
"I'm gold-bug, a gold-bug,
Wall street has bought me,
And so has got me,
A gold-bug, I'm gold-bug.
And mighty good figure bring"
When first he was running lie made the
bluff:
lone term for a president is enough
But see how little he keeps his word;
He now is fishing around for third:
He writes long letters and talks through his
hat;
But, "Old Stuffed Prophet" we know where
you're at;
You are not Sin it," you're on the wrong
side;
And the people will soon let you slide,
You're gold-bug. gold-bug;
And so, dear Grover,
Wen throw you over;
For a gold-bug, for gold-bug
Is something we cannot abide.

TAKES A GLOOMY VIEW OF
THE SITUATION.
Washington, July 9.-'There will be
seven presidential tickets in the field
next year." said ex-Attorney General
Garland to-day, while discussing the
politicals situation. While admitting
that he is out of active politics, Mr..
Garland is rampant free silver man,
and predicts serious trouble through
out the land ii the silver question is
ignored, as he fears it will be.
"Yes," said he, "there will be seven
presidents tickets in the field: there
will be a nominal Democratic and a
nominal Republican ticket, bimetal-
lie and single gold standard tickets, a
Populist ticket, a Prohibition ticket
and Woman's Rights ticket. The
outlook is not at all encouraging to
the Democrats in any of the silver
states, and, although the convention
in Kentucky complimented Secretary
Carlisle by refusing to adopt a free
silver platform, l will wager five to
one that the Republicans carry that
state at the coming election"

CROP PROSPECTS

NORTHWESTERN YIELD WILL NOT
COME UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
Duluth, Mimi, July 23.-Nearly every
grain receiver at Duluth has received
dispatches from his Dakota reporters, in
most cases from men who have been sent
from here to Investigate, and which re-
port great damage to wheat by smut.
The reports. in addition. were to the eff
feet that the crop had been overestimat-
ed In the first place and that it had de-
Perforated during July, especially since
the cold weather set in, SO that it is now

CARLlSLE'S AXIOMS SPOILED

(Salt Lake City Tribune Rep.)
Mr.. Carlisle in one Of his speeches
delivered himself of five so-called
axioms, which the gold press in the
East is circulating as something pro-
found and unanswerable. They are
as follows:
/. There is not free-coinage coun-
try in the world to-day that is not on
silver basis.
2. There is not gold-standard
country in the world to-day that does
not use silver money along with gold.
3. There is not silver-s tandard
country in the world to-day that uses
any gold along with silver.
4. There is not silver standard
county In the world to-day that has
more than one-third of the circulation
per capita that the United States has.
s. There is not silver-standard
country in the world to-day where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work.
We will Offset those five with six
others:
l. There Is not one free-coinage
country in the world to-day that is
not enjoying unexampled prosperity,
the only drawback being foreign
debt contracted on the gold basis.
2. There is not a gold-standard
country in the world to-day the prop
erty of which has not shrunken from
IS to so per cent during the last q
years; not one in which there is not
unexampled depression, distress and
sorrow.
3. There is not a silver-standard
country in the world to-day that has
any need of gold money except to set
tie foreign balances, and there is not
gold-standard country in all the
world to-day that the bulk Of all the
gold is not locked up in the treasury
or in the banks, and the people are
suffering from sound money" as
phXia.
4. There is not a silver-standard
country in the world to-day where
there are any idle deposits lying In
the banks, all the money being in ac-
tive circulation and drawing large
interest, and the circulation per
capita in the United States Of real
money is just about what it is in
Mexico, nearly all the money Of ulti-
mate redemption being hid away in
the vaults Of the treasury and Ma
tioal banks.
There is not silver-standard coun-
ttry in the world to-day where the la
boring man is not receiving full pay
and moxe regular work than he ever
received before. There is not gold
country in the world to-day where q
vast proportion Of the people are not

Striking miners failed to induce the

Der of miners earned less than dollar a

which was taken 81 for relief club and 81
for rent, leaving him $16.08 to support
himself, wife and II children for month.

VERY TRUE.
THE FREE PASS AS A RRrRE

THE FREE PASS AS A BR1BE.
When a railroad sends out free
passes to the holders Of public office
it intends that such passes shall oper-
ate as bride, and long experience in
politics shows that they have the in
tended effect. It is theory of some
holders of such passes that they are
too high-minded to be Influenced BY
favors which they accept from those
whose interest it is to secure special
exemptions at the expense of the pub
lie. But that Is mere theory. In
practice the off1ce-holder is habitually
bribed when ,he makes a habit Of
s'dead-heading' railroads, telegraph
companies and other corporations
liable to be affected by the way in
which he does his duty or leaves it un-
done.
1t is we'll known to all who know
how political conventions and legis-
latures are manipulated that free
railroad passes are among the most
powerful means Of controlling them.
Hence many of the states have con-
stitutional provisions for the i'm
parchment and removal of any office
holder found using free pass. For
the same reason the Interstate Com
merce law prohibited the issuance Of
passes. Under such circumstances
the fact that the Acknowledgement of
the United States is charged. on what
seems to be convincing evidence, with
having free pass from the Pennsyl-
vania railroad demands the serious
attention of the President. For the
Attorney-General to accept and use
such pass is disregard of the law
which the President cannot afford to
overlook. And he will be fully sus-
tanned by the country ii his sense of
propriety prompts him to compel i'm
mediate payment for the pass or an
immediate rcsignation.-New York

UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW

SEVENTY FIVE MILLIONS IN

Los Angeles, Cal, July 23.-Judge Ross
in the United States district court has

der which many millions of dollars worth
of bonds have been issued in this state.
The bonds affected by the decision are es-
timated at s75.000,0O0. They are held all
over the United States and Europe, par
tcularly in Switzerland. The case adj
Indicated today was one where, under
the Wright law, a large quantity Of

Washington, July 22.-The Times
prints the outlines Of a manifesto, to be
issued by General Masterman Workman
Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, for
the boycott of all national banks. 1t
will be addressed to the knights Of La
Dor. the Farmers Alliance. the Peoples
party, reform clubs and kindred societies,
reciting "the wrongs of the toiling thou
sands and their sufferings at the hands
of the money making power" and call for
dealings between individuals. 1t is to
go into effect Sept. 1.
An advance draft of the circular or
manifesto was seen. 1t holds that "the
national banks are responsible for the de-
struction of the greenbacks, the payment
of the bonds in coin, the funding acts, the
demonetizing of silver, and all the cor
rupt financial legislation in this country
for the past 80 years. They have boy
cotted and Disseminated against every
kind Of money that promised relief to the
debtor class and prosperity to the indus

most and cruel and merciless kind.
This boycott will precipitate the great
conflict with the peojle on one side, and
the banks on the other, and the issues will
be as sharply drawn as in the struggle Of
Andrew Jackson with the old United
States bank so years ago.
1.-THE struggle of 1896 must result in
victory for the comon people, or the hope
of American liberty is lost, and recovery
impossible through methods now sane
toned by law.
'On and after Sept. 1, 1895, let every
knight of labor and every person who
loves justice as above the sordid interests
of the tyrants, refuse to accept national
bank notes in payment for wages, produce
or in payment of any debtor obligation
not necessary by the limited legal tender
qualities of the notes.
Boycott the notes of national banks"
says the circular in conclusion.
Mr.. Sovereign emphatically stated that
it was obligatory on every knight Of labor
to obey the order after the date named.
mot only that" said he, 'but we ex-
pect similar orders to be issued by the
heads of all sympathetic organizations"
