I live in the corn country, the
choice and select acreage OF the
world. a section of country that has
done more to refute the old ethnic
prejudice against the hog than all
other influences combined. The hog
has a hard time in this world. From
the dawn of history everything has
been against the hog. He was de
graded by the laws in nearly every
ancient State and is yet regarded as
a by-word and kissing among tue
people. Even to-day you insult a
man by calling him hog, though in
many cases it is Ghe hogs reputation
that is at stake. A few years ago
on the complaint of German and
French farmers who had pork to sell
the American hog suffered a rank
Injustice. On the ground that his
health was not good he was shut out
from the market places of Europe
though the excuse was false, because
he was and is to-day the most su
perb specimen of physical comfort
there is on tue earth. But being in
the pork business themselves they
lied about him and shut him out. We
all cot mad about it and appealed to
Congress and to the President; but
during the Cleveland regime we had
the accident to have for Secretary
of State a venerable survivor of the
Crustacean period of Delaware poll,
tics. So that administration closed
with nothing done for the American
hog.-Hon. j. P. Dolliver, ", c., q

The American Economist punctures
the argument made by the advocates
of the Wilson Free-Trade Tariff, to
the effect that increased impOrtations
would promote exports, by showing
the results of the new law, so far as
our trade with England for the past
eight months is concerned. From
the figures furnished by the Bureau
of Statistics, and reprinted by the
Economist, we learn that the British
imports of wooden goods into this
country have increased f3, 527 4T6
as compared with the corresponding
eight months in 1894, while our ex-
ports of such products as wheat -four,
bacon. cotton, cattle, salt beef and
fresh beef to England had fallen off
ga. O4s. 99I during the same period.
When the American farmers come
to consider these figures they will
conclude that they have been bun
coed by Messrs. Cleveland, Wilson,
Mills. ct al. who assured them SOL
EMMY that if they would permit En-
gland to food our markets with Brit
ISL manufactures that that country
would be eager to purchase every

What Congressman Say.

In my judgment upon wages and
the consequent distribution Of con-
sumable wealth is based all our hopes
of the future, and all the possible IN
crease Of our civilization The pro-
oress Of this nation is dependent
upon the progress of all. This is
no new thought with me. Our civil,
ization is not the civilization OF
Rome, a civilization of mobiles and
slaves, but a civilization which tends
to destroy distinction OF classes and
to lift all to a common and higher
level.-Hon. Thomas B. Reed.

FALSE IN FACT AND IN USE.

We are told that the annual pro
duction of gold is insufficient to
meet the demands of the world for
coinage purposes; that the total pro !
duction of gold in the world in 1895
was $2O3,O0O,OOo; that only one
third of this is devoted to coinage,
and the rapidly increasing popula-
tion of the world is decreasing the
per capita of gold, and therefore en-
hancing its value. The whole argu-
ment is based upon the proposition
that the use of gold IS consumption
of it; that the demand for GOLD for
coinage purposes is the annihilation
of that amount of metal. The fact
is that about sixty per cent, accord
ing to United States treasury Stats
tics, of gold is usedj for coinage.
A very small percentage of gold is
lost to the world by abrosion, etc.
The quantity of gold subject to COM
mercial and financial usage is in
creasing far more rapidly than the
population.
But the whole argument of the
silverite, built upon these quotations
of gold production, Is misleading in
other ways than by misstatements.
They leave out of consideration en-
tirely the extensive use of other
means Of representing value. Thus,
for example, in the United States, as
in every country having gold coin,
a large amount of silver is used with
gold. Improved means in banking
transaction and exchange are all the
time rendering the actual use of
money less and less necessary or con-
ven.ent. For every commercial
transaction involving value of 81,
where coin or other money is used,
there are transactions by means OF
checks, bills of exchange and drafts
involving hundreds of dollars in
value.
This statement about insufficiency
of gold to supply the monetary de
mand is false in fact, and more false
in the manner in which it is made by
the Popocrats.

reservation, the owners should be en-

This settles the question adversely to

ATTORNEY MADIGAN, OF REDWOOD
FALLS, HAS AN AIM IN
LIFE.
HE WANTS AN ERASER USED
ON THE RECORDS SHOWING HIS
CONVICTION IN THE COUNTY
COURT.
SUPREME COURT FIXES A DATE
Webber Denying What Is
Asked.

Ex-County Attorney M. Madigan of Red
wood Falls, who is the respondent in dis
barment proceedings pending before the SUI
preme court at this time, has recently ap-
pealed to the supreme court from an order
of Judge Webber. of Redwood denying his
motion for a vacation of the order sentenc-
ing him to term in Saltwater. Madigans
chief purpose in life. since his release, has
been to remove from the public records the
account of his conviction, and he applied
to the Redwood county court for an order
so removing. it there. This Judge Webber
denied, and the present appeal, growing out
of it,was yesterday set by the supreme court
for the same day as the disbarment proceed
ings, June %.
The story of Madigan's downfall has been
widely spread, and yet there are many who
believe that he has been wronged. There is
no doubt that his prosecution was taken ad-
vantage of to the utmost by his political
rivals, and the aim of the ex-county attor-
ney Is to so far have the stain on his name
removed that he may get even with his
political enemies. His friends point to the
present disbarment proceedings as an indi-
cation Of the bitter animus behind the whole
persecution, as they call it, in that the
case follows his service Of a term in prison
under the law. When the two cases come
up before the supreme court the fight will
be interesting no doubt for even Madigan's
enemies concede his bri1liancy and astute-
ness. and his prosecutors are none the less
able and spirited. All Redwood county is
aligned on one side or the other, either
avowedly or in sympathy, and the final out
come Of the case will be. watched with the
most lively interest.
