An IMMORTAL LIE.

poned his "Hold Your Wheat" circu-

might enjoy.-Duluth News-Tribune.
Really it would seem as If lie was
indestructible. It certainly has more
lives than boss tom-cat.
Every farmer in Minnesota knows
that we never issued "hold-your-
wheat" circular. Itwas issued by the
Rev. Geo. Muller, then publishing a
newspaper in ST. Paul called 1.-THE
State" which was hostile to us. He
was persuaded to do it by Charley
Pillsbury, the boss miller and wheat
operator Of the Northwest. We came
out in the daily papers the next day,
aud, las President of the Alliance), de-
nounced the circular, and told the
farmers to pay no attention to it, but
sell their wheat when they got ready;
and thereupon Mr.. Muller attacked us

were in the pay Of the enemy! And yet
year after year the same old lie is re-
vamped and retold, and we are made

ANOTHER PROOF.

AS an additional proof of the dis.
tress of the laboring classes, we may
mention the falling off in immigra-
tion. Back in the eighties, over 800, 900
foreigners came to our shores annual.
ly in search Of homes, and in 1892,
623, 900 immigrants arrived. Last year
the total number was only 311,.
600, and the steamship companies car
ried as many people from our shores
as they brought. In word, immigra-
tion has fallen from 100000 to nil.
What does this mean? That there
was no demand for labor, and hence
no Incentive to immigration.-Phila
delphia American.

OF THE LAST LEGIsLATURE-A LIT
TIE STORY.
Swift County Monitor: The Albert
Lea Standard reads very severe in
dlctment on the acts Of the recent Leg
lsiature, enumerating many things It
!aileu 10 90 and giving credit for a
Few Things 1t did do. And yet the last
Legislature was perhaps no better and
no worse tnan those that have preced-
ed it. 1t would be hard matter to
secure perfect lawmaking body, or
one that could approach near to that
desirable state wherein everything is
done right and nothing wrong.
That reminds US of the story OF a
poor young fellow who had been out
of work for long time. and was very
hard up, and wandered into a shoe
makers shop. He knew nothing Of
shoemaking; but when the boss asked
him If he understood the trade he was
SO desperate for something to do that
he said-"yes." Then said the boss, II
am going out for two or three hours;
take that bench and lea ther and tools
and make me shoe; and when l come
back | will decide whether or not
will employ you."
: And the young man went to work;
but the shoe he made was such a des.
perate botch and abortion that he was
ashamed of it himself. and hid it un-
der the bench, and took some more
leather and began again on another
shoe. He got that partly finished
when the boss returned He threw
up his hands in horror "Why," said
he, "I'll bet five dollars that is the
worst shoe ever made in this shop

man quietly. The money was put ur
in the hands of a stakeholder, where.

Every time gold-bug shop raises

political effect and that behind the
raise is a raise in rents or something
else that enables the company to play
even.
When we were in Kenyon, last week,
we overheard two intelligent travel
ling men discussing the situation.
Said one to the other:
"When | read the daily papers. about
the booming good times. and then re-
fleet how few orders l have obtained,
| begin to think that l must have lost
my grip; but when talk to the other
fellows, l meet on the road, l find
they are in precisely the same boat
that I am; and then I realize that
have not lost my grip. but that the
newspapers are lying"

er, ''and what is the use of putting up
the prices of articles if there is nc
corresponding increase in the bust
ness Of the country to enable men to
buy them. 1t is simply making times
worse by checking sales"
And so they went on; and it was
easy to see that they were already half
way Populists.
The Money-lenders are tearing their
shirts in their efforts to boom things
so as to head off the Populists; and
they shout to their followers all along

A SIGNIFICANT ADMISSION

THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION WHEN
SILVER WAS DEMONETIZED.
The st. Paul Globe says:
zone point of this silver discussion
seems to have been the subject OF
much presentat ion, intentional
and otherwise. Young Allen Thur
man adds his voice to the list Of those
who claim that the members Of the

lar from the list Of coins OF the
United States. did not know what they
were doing. And Mr.. Harvey bids us
search the files Of the newspapers Of
that date to see whether there was
any public discussion Of the measure.
This is an ingenious way of creating
false impression. OF course there ,cas no
discussion; and equally of course the
men who voted for that bill. for the
most part, paid little attention to its
contents, though perfectly familiar
with them. The explanation lies in
the fact that nobody regarded, in 1873,
the so-called 'demonetizati on" of the
silver dollar as of the slightest practi-
cal Importance, one way or the
other"

But Pyle crawls into another

VERY SENSIBLE.

The most dangerous power ever ex
erted in this nation is the plenary tax
ing power arrOgated by congress. At
each recent session the unchecked ex-
actions have run up to billion dol
lars. The Supreme Court in the in
come tax case. has claimed power at
least to question the robbery, but the
plumber will continue until the people
begin the great work Of retrenchment
and honesty down at the common
school houses and town meetings of
the campaign.-Minneapolis Times.
How wise all this is.
1t is dangerous for Congress to have
the power to tax the people as much
as it pleases. And as Congress repre-
sents the people the proposition then
stands:-it is dangerous to allow the
people to say how much they will con-
tribute to the support of their govern
ment! And as it is "a most danger
us" thing to let Congress do the tax
ing, who is to do it? The Supreme
Court? Who else is there? Or per-
haps we might have an international
conference and let John Bull decide
the question for us. John is good
fellow. and would cheerfully take
charge Of our affairs, as he has with
Ireland, India, Zululand, etc.

Won't he be kind enough to drop

who furnishes such pabulum as the

This means that according to the

favor Of free silver is to be kicked out
OF the Democratic party. That's right.
The party has now an immense ma
jority in Minnesota and can afford to
lose 10000 or 30, 900 votes and not feel
it. OF course it can.
