GOOD FOR GOODHUE,

Even Goodhue county the most for
saken region of the state, politically,
has felt the breath of the great revo-
luton.
We read in the Red Wing Journal:
D. M. Clough received in this coun-
ty 5,O96 votes, John Lind 1875, while
on the National ticket Mckinley cleo
tors received 5,733 and Bryan electors
received 1922. The county ticket had
walk-away, there being opposition
to only one candidate, that for Coun-
ty Attorney.
We really believe that ten years aft
er the Peoples Party has carried the
nation, and effected all the reforms it
promised, it will have a majority of
the votes of old Goodhue; and the
back districts thereof will wake up to
the fact that civil war is over, and
Abraham Lincoln dead.

Now how in she name Of all that is

THE MONEY POWER.

From the days Of Jesus Christ upon
power. like the poor have always been
with us-and wherever the money
power holds sway, the poor will be
found.
Those who have antagonized the
money power, like Jesus Christ, have
been the pOOr-and the money power,
representing the rich, has found it
profitable to make the poor poorer and
increase their number-and to de-
nounce those who oppose the money
power, as anarchists, etc.
But Mr.. Justice Brown, of the U. S.
Supreme Court, seeing the danger in
this supremacy Of the money power,
took occasion to express his views up
on the subject, in his patriotic protest
against the infamous income tax deci-
sion and said:
'.As it implies declaration that
every income tax must be laid accord
ing to the rule Of apportionmcnt, the
decision involves nothing less than a
surrender Of the taxing power to the
money class. I hope it NAV
not prove the first step toward the
submergence of the liberties of the
people in sordid despotism of
wealth. As cannot escape the con-
viction that the decision OF the court
in this great case is fraught with i'm.
measurable danger to the future of
the country. and that it approaches
the proportions Of d national calamity,

pie, that the Supreme Court, little

to produce the calamity could be
found than "a surrender OF the tax.
ing power to the moneyed class" Ger.
tainly, the income tax decision, zap.
proaches the proportions of a national
| calamity" and is the forerunner of
other national calamities.

THE EFFECT OF THE ELECTION
OUR RIVALS PLEASED.

w h IA al xAESA0NOs
The following telegram has been re-
ceived from Mexico.
City of Mexico, Nov. 6.-No previous
presidential election In the United
States has created such excitement
and interest among all classes as the
present one for business men. Bank
erS and manufacturers felt that Next
can interests demanded the election
of Mckinley. The Mexican Herald
says:
"For Mexico the declaration Of the
American people in favor OF the gold
standard means continued prosperity
here. 1t signifies large dividends for
mills and banks, thus carrying into
effect many large and important I'M
dertakings for which capital would
not have been obtained in the United
States had Bryan been elected The
result is for the general good Of
Mexico"
This means that Mexico expects a
continuance of the present pros perity;
and that the decadence of the United
States will drive to her American
capital and American enterprise.
On the other hand England is
greatly tickled over the election of
McKinly. We quote the following:
London, Nov 6--The Associated
Press has commissioned number of
competent observers to make in
quiries in various business circles In
London, as to w1et effect the election
of Mr.. McKinle as had on the bust
ness outlook in England. In review
| ing and summarizing the results of

election of Mr.. Mckinley has had a
most favorable effect on financial and

1t Is said also that there is an i'm
mense amount of British capital

States. Some insurance companies, it
is announced, are prepared to invest

Before you cast another ballot
look over the ground and note
the deplorable condition that we,

on by the two old mistakes, you
know that they have been situa
ted 50 that they could have made
this country blossom as the rose,
and all the people contented and

wear, and cozy homes, and chill
dreu educated and made useful
citizens, an opportunity for all to
accumulate a sufliciency for old
age, happy. contsnted, and
prosperous people.
Are they? let us see; according
to the compilation of statistics by
a republican, Representative

on the floor of the house in the
fifty third congress, the indebted
ness Of the people of the United
States, in round numbers was
$32.000,O00,000, OF dollars, this
includes national, railroad, mu-
nicipal and farm mortgages, and
startling as these figures are, we
see that our congresses, demo-
cratic and republican, act as if
business was good and the con-
ditions all that could be desired,
and they go or making appropri-
atoms of more than 100000 900,
dollars for single year.
We find business paralyzed, the
price Of labor, and the products Of
labor continue to decline In val
ue the products of farm and fac
tory begging, all of the means OF
distribution controlled by gigan-
tic corporations that are sapping
the life from our industries, and
which are fostered by our not
paternal] (?)goyernment, the en-
enlargement Of pools, trusts and
combines, and the legalizing OF
those things that tend, not only
to impoverish the people. but
demoralize them as well, the
millions of tramps, caused by
the wise[?] legislation of our

of homes and meanB OF obtaining
