KANSAS DEFENDED.
An Eastern Journal Of Recognized Merit
and Influence Defends the States
Fair Name.

"A
undertaken to bring ruin upon the State
Of Kansas as punishment to her for
voting the Peoples party into power.
Newspapers under the shadow OF Wall
street now FIJI their editorial columns
with due warnings to everybody to keep
away from Kansas. Investors are as
sured that the citizens OF that State
are swlndlers and madmen. Riot is
averred to stalk red-hsnded in the cities.
Law and order are mere formal express
sons. This is all very transparent
scheme. The corporations, the rail-
roads, the National banks and the trusts
are in reality terrified at the growth OF
the Peoples party. They see in 1t the
power that will yet compel them to obey
the law and refrain from robbery OF the
people. They have set in, accordingly,
to blackmail and tFHduCe ons OF the
sovereign commonwealth composing
this republic, in order, ic possible, to
accomplish it's ruin. The facts are, as
every intelligent American knows, that
there is not in all the union q State
more advanced in intelligence and
capacity than is Kansas. Her natural
resources are in many respects unsur-
passed in the world. The energy and
thrift OF her people have reclaimed the
wilderness and made it, in the words OF
Bryan, to blossom 40 the rose. The
organs OF monopoly exclaimed two years
ago that Pupulism was dead foreVermors
in Kansas. In the recent election the
third party swept everything before it,
as it did In various States adjacent to
the historic Western commonwealth.
The animosity Of greed will strengthen
Kansas. That sheer malice is the
force behind the vili6cstiOn OF the State
Of Kansas will become evident when 1t
is remembered that the Peoples party
also swept North Carolina, Colorado,
Nebraska, and achieved notable triumphB
in various others. The Wal street
clique cannot, Of course, draw up an
indictment against whole people. Con-
sequently they pick out the State Of
Kansas, and are peculiarly vsnomous in
their assaults upon her Supreme court.
These are the very men who, not 90
many weeks ago, were exhortinR us to
respect courts and hold them in reverence.
1t all depends upon whose OK is gored,
apparently. 1t is curious revelation,
this Kansas conspiracy. 1t betrsys that
spirit of sectionalism which RnimateS
the Eastern financial mind and is at the
bottom Of most OF our National mis-.
understandings. The great difficulty Of
the situation is that the financial mag
nate is q blgot who looks upon every
one who differs from himself az an enemy
Of society. From the dawn Of history
until our own day the rich have always
stood in the way Of progress and human
ity. They murdered the humble clergy
who preached truth to the people and
pampered the proud ecclesiastio who
prated in their pulpit9. The best evil
6ence that any change in manners,
morals or ideas is a change for the better
is the fact that the propertied classes
have combined to attack it. Kansas
deserves the congratulations Of the
whole republic TtOeDtisth Century.

For County Treasurer.

J. G. Mishler, silver candidate for
county treasurer, was born in 1852,
in Ohio. He was raised on farm
until Is years of age, when he be-
came a clerk in a store. He was a
student at Smithville Academy, and
before he was II was engaged in
business at Magadore as member
of the firm of Slandenschlager &
Mishler. Later he bought out his
partner and run the business under
the name of J. G.. Mishler & Co. until
1877.
In 1878 Mr.. Mishler moved to Can
ton and went into the dry goods
business until 1882, when he located
in Perry, Iowa, where he was en-
gagged in the real estate business
until his coming to Duluth in 1886.
Since being resident of this city
Mr.. Mishler has been engaged in
the real estate business. He has
never been an Offce-seeker, and has
held but one official position in his
life and that was road-overseer
when a young man at Magadore.
He does not desire office but is
interested in the political issue of
this campaign and wants to see it
win. He has advocated the free
coinage of silver for ~ years. Voted
for Hayes, but had the election
been held two months later he
would have voted for Peter Cooper.
He has been staunch popul1st
since the formation of that party,
and has given of both his time and
money to support and spread it's
principle when they were both un-
popular and impossible of immedi-
ate victory.
Mr.. Mishler is an able business
man of sterling integrity, parti-
cularly fitted in every way for the
responsible duties of county treas
urer, and the people of st. Louis
County will surely make a mistake
if they do not entrust him for the
next two years with the manage
ment of their finances.

Ely. In further proof of the same
proposition he related a number of
instances that had come under his
own observation on the GOgebic
and MenOminee ranges, where in
dividual laborers had been fnan-
cially ruined by joining strikes and
labor unions.
The next speaker was Superin-
tendent H. B. Sturtevant, of the
Pioneer mine. He argued that the
price of labor in the iron mining
regions was regulated by the price
price would warrant it he felt sure
that all of the mining companies
doing business here would advance
wages accordingly, and it was for
their interests to do so, as cheap
wages produced cheap men and
cheap men were more expensive to
hire than high priced men.
superintendent John Pengilly
followed Mr.. Sturtevant. He said
that about ten years ago nine men
of which he was one, with as many
packs in three canoes, first landed
on what is now the site of this city
and began to open up the Chandler
mine, and that he has been here
ever since, and the speaker seemed
quite confident that he knew some
thing about mining and miners
needs, as he had worked in mine
from the age of IA years up to the
present time.
The speaker then took up the sew
eral demands made by the organ
izer of the miners union, Mr.. Askew,
and showed their unreasonable
ness from the speakers standpoint
claiming that the organizers OBJ
ject was not so much to benefit the
miner as it was to scoop into his
bag the $1.15 entrance fees and
