cents a bushel. This years wheat
crop in the three states of Minnesota
and the Dakotas is estimated at some
thing over 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels. The
advance makes the crop worth $780,
900, 900 more than it was in the sum-
mer months, aud if applied to the en-
tire wheat crop and reserves of the
country, adds s1OO,OOO,OOO more to the
nations wealth. During the same
time corn and oats have advanced
some five or six cents a bushel. Six
cents added to these crops increases
the nations wealth about 5000, 100000
more, or $780, 100000 in all. We have
not the statistics in regard to cotton,
but we understand that the advance
has been sufficient to add another
800, 100000 to the national assets"
In our local market, the price quot
ed today was 64c per bushel. This is
an advance of 22c per bushel from the
lowest price quoted which was about
42c about the middle of August. The
average yield of wheat in this county
is estimated at Is bushels per acre
At the price quoted every acre of
wheat grown in Blue Earth county is
worth $50 more than it was at that
time To note just how badly explo-
ded the Popocratic theory is by the
natural action of the markets, we will
state that on Aug. Is about the time
wheat was quoted at AZ cents in the
local markets, cash wheat was quoted
in Chicago at Sale, while the price of
silver on that day was 67s. On Satur-
day last Chicago quoted cash wheat
at 745c, and silver was quoted at 65bc.
A gain for wheat of 205c and a loss
for silver of BIC. And still we are told
that silver and not supply and de-
mand controls the price of wheat.
Never was theory more completely
swept away.

PLYnAT AND PORTER.
A Joint Discussion i'm Lime Township
in which the POpOcrats are
WOrSted.

The people of Lime township had
an opportunity to listen to joint dis
cussion upon the political issues Sat-
urday evening between Judge Porter
and VIM. N. Plymat, By mistake,
both these gentlemen were billed for
the Shoemaker school house on the
same evening, and as they both were
on hand at the appointed hour it was
agreed to divide the time, Judge Por-
ter opening in 40 minutes and closing
in 30 minutes and Mr.. Plymat speak
ing an hour between, and from what
we can learn we feel safe in predict
ing that the Popocratic party will not
again pit Judge Porter against Mr..
Plymat in political discussion.
The Judges speeches were in the
usual line of arraying class against
class and industry against industry
and predicting the dire consequences
that will follow if the Popocratic
party is not successful, and devoted
but very little attention to discus
sion of the real political issues. On
the other hand, Mr.. Plymat devoted
the most of his time reviewing the
history of the two parties, and show
that the people of no country or gov
eminent had been so prosperous and
had made such great strides in intel
ligence, Christianity and material de-
velopment as this country had don
during the years from '73 to 1913 in
elusive, and concluslvely demonstrate
ed that the Republican party is yet
the party of the people, with the aoil-
ity to maintain safe financial sys-
tenn with bimetalliSm-gold silver
and paper all circulating on parity,
and emphasized the fact that four
years ago in the very height of nation
al prosperity under Republican rule,
William Jennings Bryan and Judge
Porter, together with a whole line of
PopOcratic orators were urging the
people with the same vehemence to
entrust the Popocratic party with
the control of the government, and
predicting the dire consequences that
would follow if it was not done, and
then in few apt sentences showed
how the Popocratic party had demon
strated it's lack of ability to cope with
the great national issues of great
people, and through their incompe-

ELEVATOR ACCIDENT.
A rIankato Girl Killed in st. Paul FRI

A ST. Paul dispatch says that
Elizabeth Lefebbre, an enjoy of the
Dole Syrup, Co., 1873 Fifth street east,
met instant death at o'clock Friday
evening in the elevator shaft of the

when she incautiously stepped to one
side in the elevator. Her head caught
in hole in the wall land was crushed,
causing instant death. Her cousin,
Charles Raymond, who was running
the elevator at the time, saw the &C.
cident and endeavored to save her, but
in so doing sustained broken arm.
Miss Lefebbre, whose home was at
MankatO, was but II years old, and
was living with her sister, Mrs. Harry
Stiles, 80 Colorado street.
The coroner will make an investiga-
tion of the accident.

The reference that the FREE PRESS
has been called upon to make on diff
ferent occasions to the pretended
Republicanism Of the Lake Crystal
Union while filling it's columns with
free silver trash, has resulted, we are
glad to say, in bringing Bro. Neff to
his senses, and the last issue of his
paper gives more evidence of his re-
turning to the Republican standard
than has been shown in any issue
since the opening of the campaign.
Neff seems to begin to realize that a
newspaper cannot advocate free coin
age and still be Republican. There is
no such thing as free silver Repub-
lican, simply because the platform of
the Republican party denounces free
coinage just as emphatically as it does
free trade-and any man or newspaper
that advocates either cannot stand
up and rightfully claim to be Repub-
lican. Mr.. Neff has EVIDENTLY
found this out. His friends are glad
to know it.

A CONSERVATIVE statement Of the
Republican state committee as re-
suit of careful canvass of the state
is that Mckinley will carry the state
by 10000. Their reports from the
congressional districts is most encour-
aging. A few weeks ago Secretary
Lynch of the Populist state commit
tee claimed fusion majority of 3d.
900. A few days later on new ad-
vices he reduced it to $4,000. Chair
man Rossing, of the Democratic COM
mittee does not take Lynch's rosy
view of the situation, and makes cut
to 5,OO0-a virtual admission that the
state is lost to them. He further
claims the fusionists will elect the
seven congressman, but cautiously
declines to tell where the votes are
coming from to do it. Secretary
Lynch does not rgree with his Popo-
cratic brother and says they are only
sure of three, while admitting that
TOwne is more than likely to suffer
defeat. There is hardly question
now but that the congressional dele
cation in the next house will be solid
ly Republican.

TIT FOR TAT.

The FREE PRESS has heretofore pub
lished notices of Democratic, Demo
pop and Popocratic meetings freely
and without request save and except
that announced by one Foster which
took place last Friday evening. 1t
would as willingly have made men
tion of this as of any other, had not
the Popocratic organ, the ReUaeao, to-
tally ignored the appearance here
Thursday evening of Judge Flandreau
and General Clapp. When two as
prominent gentlemen as these, one a
lifelong Democrat, receive no notice
on the night of their appearance in
the Postmaster's organ, the FREE
PRESS felt under no obligation to Sc
cure an audience for the Popocratic
speaker, unknown to anyone in this
part Of the world.
Mr.. Currier did ask Mr.. Hunt if he
would insert notice of the meeting
and was answered in the negative
with a full explanation for his reasons
for declining. The assertion that Mr..
Currier rendered pay or that he offer
ed to pay for such notice is wholly
false. The question of compensation
was not approached. If it had been,
and Mr.. Currier had offered to pay for
the announcement it is needless to
say that his advertisement would have
been accepted and published. Mr..
Hunt is willing to plead guilty to the
charge of refusing to notice the meet
ing, and for the reasons stated. He
is also willing to admit that the small
turnout was largely occasioned be-
cause of the limited circulation of the
Revieao, and he is likewise willing to
cOncede that as an advertising me-
dunn the FREE PRESS has no equal in
Southern Minnesota.
The postmaster editor of the PopO-
cratic organ set the example of ignor-
ing the meeting of two as prominent
gentlemen as there are in the state,
and he should not kick about the
marrow mindcdness" of others. 1t is
istit for tat
