generally knows what he is talking about.
Speaking of the recent failure OF the
"Western Standard" to live more than
month he says ''Mr. Vandiver has Tor
years been tie special protege OF 1e"
st. Paul Republicans. His work Tor
Bierman, at the last election, was inspired
mostly by Republican otfice-holders who
wanted to defeat Bob Dunn. No friend
of silver ever put cent in the "Western
Standard. The paper was started ana
dropped to show the Mckinley folks
down east, how weak the silver sentiment
is in Minnesota and to weaken Congress-

All the farce was simply fixed up for its
effect down east.
Mr.. Horr characterize Mr.. Harvey as
infamous because the defender of silver
charged that congress was corrupt. AT
the risk of being classed in the same
category, Farm, Stock & Home must say
that the less Mr. Horn talks of that SUBJ
ject the higher opinion the country VIII
have both of him and congress. In 1872
congress passed what is known as the
..salarv crab BILL" a bill increasing pay
of conpressmen and making it retroactive
SO that extra pay could be collected for
two previous years. Public OPINION
forced the repeal of the ''grab'' clause,
but the dishonesty and the intention to
get something for nothing existed in that
congress at least. In February, 1878,
the very month in which silver was de-
monctized, the Chicago Tribune, repub"
lican paper, contained these words
Turkish corruption under the pashas
and beys, or Russian official rottenness
could scarcely be worse than 1t IS here
Pass over the time until the COMPARE
lively recent purchase OF legislators by
the "Sugar Trust" and it will be seen
that congress-which Mr.. Horr would
crown with a halo of virtue and purity
is not wholly without blemish or above
the influence of corruption. The infamy
does not exist in the criticism but IN the
fact which draws it forth.-Farm, Stock
& Home.
