Seesaw Money,

The Mexican dollar wabbles with sill
ver The United States dollar stands
solid by gold. Measured in gold and
maintained at a parity with gold, it's
value remains. Within three years the
Mexican dollar has been as high as 20
cents. and it has been as low as 4S
cents. Its value rises and falls with
the demand for silver, and this varies
with the trade i'll silk and the trade in
tea, with the exchange on India and
the payment Of war indemnities by
China and Japan, and all the world Of
trade and speculation. Within the
year it has been as high as 60 cents,
and has dropped to it's present price.
This is the kind Of seesaw money
the United States is asked to adopt.
Up and down. Now high and now
low. Never good as a gold dollar, and
never maintaining any certain ratio
with it. Labor receives in this coun-
try in wages in year $2,OOO,OOO, 900.
If these wages had been paid in sill
yer this year the loss in the price of
silver in the past six months would
have cut the value of these wages
down by $1OOOO0,0OO, a tax on labor
one-fifth as large as that Of the cost Of

1t was due almost solely to the act
ivity of Mr. Chiids that the interpreta-
ton OF the constitutional prohibition
against the holding of a state office by
any member of the legislature was
brought before the supreme court,
and q precedent was established
which, it is universally admitted, will
accomplish one Of the greatest and
most needed reforms of the present
day.
Other cases which were tried were
followed up by Mr.. Childs with such
distinguished ability as to evoke ap-
plause from the whole Northwest,
were his handling of the Holden MIR
der case; the Great Northern-N Northern
Pacific consolidation case and that in
which the city of Duluth is now a
party. Though ne has served two
terms, and though several of the
ablest and most distinguished lawyers
Of the state were candidates for the
nomination in the state convention.
Mr.. Childs was nominated by an
easy majority, and so general was the
belief that he would be elected that,
had he chosen to go out Of his way
for the purpose, the Democrats Of the
state would have given him their en-
dorsement. He did not want it, for
the reason that he is a consistent and
conscientious Republican,, who has
done his whole duty by the people, who
elected him, and he felt confident Of
the result when it was placed in the
hands of the people whom he had
served.

Frank NJ. Eddy.

Frank M: Eddy of Glenwood, was
born in Pleasant Grove, MIMI, April
I, 1856, and is the first representative
of Minnesota who is native of the
state; in 1860 he removed to Iowa with
his parents, and in 1868 he returned to
Minnesota, residing at Elmira, Olmsted
county, until 1867, when he removed to
Pope county; in 1874 he returned to
Olmsted county, where he attended
school until 1878, working in a brick
yard during vacations to procure funds
to pay his expenses; he afterward
taught one term of district school in
Fillmore county, one term at Vicks-
burg, Renville county, and in the win
ter of 1890 returned to Pope county,
where he taught school for three years;
in 1883 he entered the employment of
the Northern Pacific Railway company
as a ''cruiser," or land examiner: his
political career commenced in 1884,
when he was elected clerk of the dis
trict court Of Pope county, and he has
held this position, also that of court re-
porter of the Sixteenth judicial dis
trict, continuously ever since; he was
elected to the Fifty-fourth congress as
a Republican, receiving 1920 votes,
against 17,4SO votes for Haldor E.

JOHN l.. GIBBS.
Republican Candidate for Lieuten.
ant Governor

Republican Candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor.
John L. Gibbs was born in Bradford
county, Pa, May 3, 1888. He received
an academic education; graduated
from Ann Arbor law school in 1861,
and admitted to the bar; was elected
county attorney of Freeborn county in
1862. His occupation outside of his
state duties is that Of a farmer. He
served five terms in the legislature of
Minnesota, beginning with the session
OF 1864. He was speaker of the house
OF Representatives in 1877 and also in
1885. Jan. 10, 1887, he was appointed
by Gov. A. r. McGill railroad and
warehouse commissioner, and was re-
appointed by Gov. Merriam. He is
married and his present residence is in
Freedom county. He was prominent
member for speakership honors before
the last session of the legislature.
Like Gov. ClOugh, John L. Gibbs is a
self-made man; from boyhood working
his way on a farm, earning money to
pay for an education, and ever since a
toller with hands and brain. MIR. Gibbs
is practical farmer, not of the prolix
OF fancy sort, but one who to-day holds
the pillow and milks the cows of his
famous herd. When 4 mere lad he
lost his father, and thenceforth he was
a Woodworking farmer boy. He paid
his way through the common schools
and Susquehanna college, and gradu-
ated from Ann ArbOr law school. He
came West upon Greeley's famous ad-
vice, in 1860, leaving the railroad in
Illinois, where his money gave out,
and then, by force of circumstances, he
walked through Iowa and into Mime
sofa as far as Albert Lea. There he
taught school for one year, and then
settled in Geneva, Freedom county,
where he has been engaged in practi-
cal, everyday farm labor to the pres
ent time, a period of thirty-four years.
Few men in the Northwest have done
more for the agricultural interests Of
Minnesota than John L. Gibbs. He
has conducted his agricultural efforts
in a progressive and successful man
ner. With the welfare Of his farmer
friends at heart, he has ever been at
the front in giving them the benefit of
his own study. With voice and pen he
has done more for the farmers of Min
nesota than any other man in the state,
and his work in this line has been en-
tirely unselfsh, and solely to improve
the condition of his associate agric,llt-
wrists. Twice he has been put forward
by the farming interests as guberna-
torial candidate, and as the coming
lieutenant governor and presiding Off
Ger Of the senate, he will have a rare
opportunity, that he will not be slow to
embrace, in the appointment of COM
mittees in the interests of public and
private agricultural welfare.

HENRY w. CHILDS.
Republican Candidate for Attorney
General

Republican Candidate for Attorney
General.
The Republican candidate for attor-
ney general was born in Onandaga
county, New York, in 1913, was educat-
ed primarily in the public schools of
that county and finished his education
in a course at the seminary of the
central conference of New York, sub
sequently taking up the study Of law
while engaged in educational work as
a teacher in one of the high schools
Of that section. He opened an Office
and practiced law in the city Of SYRIA
cuse until 1888, when he removed to
Minnesota and here resumed his pro-
fessional work in Fergus Falls, Otter
Tail county. In 1887 he was chosen
as the assistant of Attorney General
Clapp, and held that position during
the six years Of his ncumbency of the
office. In 1892 and 1894 Mr.. Childs
ran as the Republican candidate for
attorney general, and in each case was
elected by majority which was a
fattering testimonial to the esteem in
which he was held by the party and the
people Of the state at large.
While acting as the assistant of Gen.
Clapp Mr.. Childs displayed great abil-
ity in the handling Of the difficult cases
which were intrusted to him, and some
of the hardest fought cases which ever

Meanwhile, at the age Of twenty-five,
Gov. Clough had chosen from among
the fair maidens Of the .neighborhood
one whom he admired above all others,
and it. is still his boast that the best
deal he ever cOns,lmmated was when
he led gentle Addie Barton to the altar
and made her his wife, to share his
successes and enjoy the prosperity
which he has won at such cost of bodily
toll and mental eXertion. The simple
happiness and congeniality of their
lives has passed into Il proverb among
their friends, and in all his busy life
Of commercial care and political veXa-
ton there is one thing the governor
always has time to do, and that IS to
contribute an hour, or day, if need
be, to the pleasure Of his wife. 10
them have been born three children,
only one of whom lived to the age of
maturity, the others dying in infancy.
The governors only child, Nina, is
the wife of Roland HI. Hartley, prom

also a grandfather, for Mrs. Hartley

The question has often been asked,
how did Dave Clough, q .hard-headed

drift into politics? The true answer

HON. ALBERT BERG.

Candidate for Secretary of State.

The portrait of Secretary of State
Albert Berg is an excellent likeness,
and bespeaks the vigorous young man
hood and genial and jovial disposition
so well known to all his acquaint-
ances. Secretary Berg has performed
his official duties during. the present
term in an able manner, and will be
reelected by 4 rOusing majority. In
the election of 1894 he erceived 4,75S
votes more than Nelson for governor,
and ran ahead of the highest vote fol
any state officer by .1,721, while his
majority was 1,72O more than that Of
any other state officer.

in contests where the best legal tai
ent in the nation was arrayed against
him.
The eases of the counties Of Brown
and Redwood, against the Winona 4
st. Peter Land company, in which
those counties were saved thousands
of dollars Of back taxes and penalties,
were successfully conducted by Mr..
Childs, the cases being carried to the
highest judicial tribunal of the land
and there fought out on their merits
and by the invocation Of all the tao
tics of the legal profession.
In the discharge of his duties Mr..
Childs had in his care the celebrated
cases of the treasulers Of Meeker and
Hennepin counties, respectively, the
eases attracting much attention and
Mr.. Childs receiving great credit for
his able and fearless conduct of them.
When the state found itself unable to
bring the oil companies doing business
in Minnesota under the operations Of
an effective inspection law, Mr..
Childs' aid was invoked, and through
him an arrangement was made by
which Minnesota has one Of the, best
and most effective Oil inspection laws
in force In any state In the Union.
