He is receiving letters from
capitalists everywhere who wish
to get some of these bonds when
they are issued. Graders are after
him, wanting the contract, and
there is every indication that the
road will be built. The Manitoba
people are getting interested, and
figure that if Hines road goes
through they can more cheapiy
ship their wheat to Duluth IN
stead of to Fl. William, on the
northern shore of Lake Superior,
as now. There are a dozen or
more lines now being agitated for
branches. But the aim is to run
20 Portal, on the international
boundary. Hines and others fig
ure that it will cut down the
freight on wheat at least 4 cents a
bushel, which will in many cases
represent the farmers profit, and
that this reduction will be made
by all the railways in the state,
thus saving the farmers millions
Of dollars. Some wealthy men Of
Duluth and Superior arc backing
the road, ard Hines gets salary
Of SIS month, the treasurer 500
per mon tn and the secretary $25
per month from the company.
Hines wife and family are still
living at Hannah and running the
farm. He says he will be content
to drop back into his quiet life
when his great purpose is realized.

This is the way Hines tells it in
his farmers meetings:
We'll, some Of the newspaper
fellers made heap sight of fun of
me, for daring to 90 to New York.
[ got there Washington s birth
day and found that no business
was done there that day. But
| wasn't going to be beat by a
holiday. and so, the first thing In
the morning, | bought a new col
lar and necktie and then had
some cards printed with 'Presl-
dent Hines, Farmers Railroad,
on them, and | was awfully tick
led to see how nice them card 5
looked. Then [ struck out to see
Senator Brio e and went up to his
house. His woman came to the
door, anyway [ spose twas his
woman, and she told me that Mr..
Bruce wasn't up yet and would
not do any business that day,
anyhow. But | talked to her how
important it was that | should
see him, and she told me to come
around again at noon, and | was
there on the dot. | had to wait
until 3 o'clock and then Brice
didn't want to talk to me, but
guess he did talk just to see what
had brought such a green fellow
to see him. After / had talked
awhile and had got out my map
he began to ask questions, and |
found out that he knew all about
the road, and all the brokers |
visited had heard of the road.
Brice asked me every kind of
question you could think Of,
where [ was born, how many
children [ had. what kind of
house lived in, what we had to
eat, how much | make on the
farm, and hundreds of other
things. He got very much inter-
ested, and we talked all the after
noon. and in the evening he called
in another millionaire, and we
talked some more and had supper,
which was a mighty good meal.
Well. | got from Brice a written
promise to take all the bonds at
per cent we issued when the
road was graded. had inst as
good time in Washing ton. The
boys said it would cost $500 to
get that bill for the right of way
through the Red Lake reservation
through the congress. Well, it
didn't cost 5 cents, for all our
congressman and senators promis-
ed me it would be done, and they
would not even let me pay for my
meals. And it has gone through
both houses and is now law. and
it didn't cost. a cent"
Tn his way home Hines went
to Allegheny and Joliet to visit
the iron mills of the Carnegie and
Illinois Steel Works plants and
get their rates on steel rails. His
plan is to bond the road for con-
struction for not more than
$4,000 per mile, which will be the
cheapest road ever built. He fig
ures the thing out in this way: 1t
will cost $1,000 per mile for rails,
$500 for ties, 5000 for laying the
track and 800 fo.. stock and
equipment, total of $1,000 per
mile. His chief endeavor now is
to get money enough t. grade the
100 miles from Deer river through
the forest. This will cost, he
figures, $500, 900, of which Duluth
and Superior are to raise 81, 700,
and the rest is to be obtained from
the counties through which the
railway will run. He is now
making a tour of the section

Pick tho Best Men.

A number of the county conventions
which have already been held have set
a good example for those which are to
follow in selecting as delegates to the
state convention at Grand Rapids, some
If the strongest men and most reliable
Republicans in their localities. The
national convention framed platform
IN which the loyal Republicans of
Michigan can stand and win, and the
national committee has outlined good
general plan for the canvass. But in
a campaign where so many attempts
are made to break into party lines,
and where issues are presented in some
new forms we need to bring our best
men to the front, both as delegates
and as candidates. There will be
no equivocation or evasion, we
take it, about the platform. There
should be wisdom shown in the
choice of candidates to make the can
vass, and for q starter nothing is better
than a rousing state convention. Let
Us have as delegates men of the stamp
that gave character to the meeting
ander the oaks in 1854, and to the hon.
est money convention in Detroit in 1878.

What Is FREQ Coinago7

A good many inquiries are made Of
the newspapers as to exactly what free
and unlimited coinage of silver means
1t means that any one, citizen or for
.igner, individual or corporation, may
take bullion, old spoons or foreign
.oin worth SO cents, and have it coined,
free of cost, into a dollar with debt
paying power of 100 cents. The word
unlimited means that there should be
no restriction as to the amount of silver
thus coined, and the word independent,
often used in this connection, means
that this government proposes to try
that experiment without reference to
what any other nation is doing. Under
the Bland act the government pur-
chased bullion in open market and
coined 100000 silver dollars per
month and made whatever profit there
was on the coinage. Under the Sher-
man act it purchased 100000 ounces
a month and either coined it or issued
silver certificates against it, the profit
going into the treasury. Under the
plan proposed by the Chicago conven-
ton and the free silverites the profit
would go, not to the government, but
to the individual or corporation that
carried the silver to the mint.

Considerable defamation is INDUCED
In nowadays about the possibility of
this great nation having q monetary
system of its own, without relation to
what Europe or any of the rest of the
world want. Considering the fact that
during the prosperous years of the
latest Republican administration our
foreign trade, export and import,
amounted to about one thousand mill
ion dollars in a single year, the import
ance of having some standard of money
values which we hold in common with
other countries becomes apparent. We
must make our settlements with for
cign countries in money which they
recognize. 1t is for this reason that
the cooperation of the commercial M
tons of the globe in settling the silver
question becomes all important. Nor
is this by any means new idea. Both
in 1878 and 1893 congress passed laws,
with the general assent of all parties,
providing for the appointment of com
missioners from this country to inter-
national bi-metallic conferences. The
last conference held gave promise, at
one time, of reaching some definite
conclusion, but the attitude of England
prevented that desirable result. Since
then there has been great change in
public sentiment and in official circles
in England, and there is every reason
to believe that il this country makes
no free silver experiment on its own
account, the silver question may
within two or three years be settled by
international agreement, and without
the wrenching of financial conditions
that would follow the attempt ON our
part to ignore the rest of the world.
To this effort the Republican party Is
pledged, and in this course It is but
following the presidents of 1873 and
$685.

Why the Distinction9

In large proportion of the mines
low worked in this country silver can
be profitably produced at 60 cents an
ounce, and it is now selling at trife
over SO cents. The free coinage people
propose that the government shall take
this silver, and by coming it, give it a
purchasing or debt-paying power to
the owner of S1.29. Who gets the ben
Eft? Not the government as it did
lnder the old coinage acts. Not the
people generally. The mine owners
alone. Why should the government,
that is, the people, confer such bene-
ct upon this one class of producers?
The silver product of the country in
1895 was actually worth about 500, OOO,-
300. The copper product was worth
s3s, OO0, 900, pig iron sos, O00, 900, soft
,oal $115, O0O, 900 and the wheat product,
even with small yield and low prices,
was worth, in the New York market,
over $500, 900, 900. Why should the gov
.rnment double the value of silver to
The mine owner and leave the other
products to take their chances at com
nercial rates?

Hon. Jas. O'Donnell never stated a
more patent truth in all his career,
than when he told the members of
the Lincoln club in his home city, a
few nights since, that what the coun.
try needed was free coinage of con.
fldence. This will apply particularly
to those Republicans who are dispos-
ed to take the view of the St Louis
coinage plank which the free silver
men and the mugwumps of the Dem
ocratic party wish them to take, with
out thinking and reading for them
selves. Most Of the people who are
lnveighing against that plank will be
found upon investigation, to care a
great deal more for the defeat OF the
Republican party than they do for
the success of free silver. A protect

posed to.--Exchangc.

There i probably no class Of men in
The country, not even the manufactur-
ere, who hsve suffered moro during the
past four years ON account Of threat
sned end accomplished changes In the
tariff than have the farmers The
threat Of modifying tho tariff, on free
trade lines, commenced its mischevious
work a. soon a. the result of the cleo
ton in 1892 was known. From that
time on the agitation of the subject
was = constant menace and disturb
ance to business of all kinds, until the
passage of the Wilson German act COM
pleted the destructive work. The
farmers have suffered In two ways.
In the first place the paralysis of gen.
oral business, and especially of manu-
featuring, has diminished the consum-
ing power of the country SO that the
home market is nowhere near as good as
1t was In the prosperous times of 1892.
In the next place the Wilson tariff
gave unfair advantage to the farmers
and wool growers of other countries.
These are the main causes of the pres
emit low prices of farm products. A
third cause, which applies particularly
to wheat, is the opening up of new ter
ritory In the Argentine Republic and
in Russia, and the improved means of
transportation by which their surplus
can be taken to the European markets.
The last named cause is beyond our
reach. The other two can be remedied
by the voters at the next election.
What the farmer needs more than any
thing else is to have the tariff question
settled on the protective policy and
settled for a life time, SO thoroughly
settled that he will have time to raise
and market crop before the question is
again agitated-time to grow flock of
sheep and get some benefit from them
before the tariff on wool is again taken
off. There is one way and only one to
accomplish all this and that is to elect
Mckinley president with a good Re-
publican majority in congress. But
multiplying words on the subject is
superhuous. The whole case was sue
cinctly stated in single sentence by
Mr.. Mckinley himself in recent
speech, in which he said, "What this
country needs is to get back to that pol
icy that will give us work and wages"
