One Of our citlzens has brother
out in the silver mines. A letter
was received by him recently in
which his brother said that he, as
a miner wasn't in favor Of free
silver. He says the owners Of the
mines are strongly in favor OF it
as it will make untold millions for
them, but the laborers in the
mines who are working for daily
wages do not want free silver be-.
cause they figure that if such a
thing should prevail it would at.
tract hundreds and thousands Of
men to this section Of the country
and it would cut the wages to
starvation rates. No free silver
in his; it is good enough just as it

Of their employers, whose interests
are Of necessity identical with

and sufficient fact in proof Of the
claim that free silver would be Of

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

Dr.. "A. "A. Ames opened the
state campaign here today, BY ap-:
pearing at the opera house at mo- 4
to place his claims before the
people as candidate for Cover.
nor. He announces himself as the
only real Populist in the field, and
the only real friend Of the people.
What call there was for Ames in
this fight we do not understand, as
the Popocrat Lind seems to suit
most Populists, and is the
choice of all the elements that are
arrayed this year against the Re
publican party and its principles
Of protection and sour d money.
Ames was an old time Democrat,
and one year came very near being
elected governor by that party.
Possibly his real reason for run
ming this year, is that there IS no
other candidate in the field who
ever pretended to be Democrat,
or who today expresses any respect
for that party. Oneof Lind's
favorite expressions in past cam.
paign's was that "while all Demo
Gratis were not murderers and horse
thieves all murderers and horse
thieves were Democrats. = Also
that "if the walls of states prisons
were torn down that SO per cent Of
those released would be Demo.
Gratis Possibly Ames thought
that such comments by Lind made
q poor invitation for Democratic
votes, and his known standing as
former Democrat, and his present
profession of Populism might
secure him many votes.
It is difficult to regard Ames'
candidacy very seriously, and he
will get but few votes.
Lind has back Of him the usual
Popocrat combination this year,
and election of governor that
leads such an aggregation would
be a disaster to Minnesota, as it
has proved to be to the few
Western states that have tried the
experiment. ----
Republican rule has been adj
vantageous to Minnesota, and its
best interests demand the con-
tinuance of that rule. The Re.
publican state ticket should BE-
elected, and it is especially i'm.
portant for any progressive state
to avoid Populistic control.

WAGE GARNER AND WAGE PAYER.

Minneapolis journal: The
Journal gave prominence. yester-
day to letter which we hope met
with a genuine and hearty re.
Spouse from every wage Garner in
the city. The writer, in very
admirable way, after referring to
the deliberate attempt on the part
of Bryan aud his follow ers to array
labor against capital, and employe
against employer, stated the real
position Of the wage Garner in this
political controversy. He called
the al tcntion of employees to the
fact that during the past three
years and more their employers,
as rule, have been suffering great
losses in their business, and have
in many instances been able to
retain their employees in their pay
only at, a great personal sacrifice
Many employers, out Of regard for
the fidelity and loyalty of their
employees. and out Of sympathy for
families which would have suffered
from the discharge Of husband,
father and brother, have retained
these wage earners when it was
not profitable to do. SO, and
when to do so meant to add
enormously to. the great struggle
which the employer was forced to
make to keep his head above water
and his business in existence.
This states the situation in 80
per cent Of the business establish
ments Of Minneapolis today, aud it
is safe to say that 80 per cent of
the business men and employers
Of Minneapolis are today thor
oughly convinced that nothing
can save them from further loss
and protect the country from
general wreck and disaster but the
overthrow OF the free silver de-
fusion, the establishment Of bust
ness conditions upon a sound
money financial basis, and the
restoration of confidence through.
out the business world. e
The wage earners of Minneapolis
are face to face with this propo.
.sition: Will they take the advice
Of Mr.. Bryan, who never had an
hours practical business expert.
ence in his life, who has nothing
whatever to lose if disaster comes,
but everything to gain by his
election; or, will they be infuenc.

General Grant was lnaugurated
president of the United States on
March 4, 1869. In his Inaugural
address he used these words: "To

otherwise expressly provided tor.
Let 1t he understood that no re.
pudiator Of one farthing of our
! public debt will be trusted in q

ward strengthening credit that
should be the best in the world. :
Bryan criticized the nation for
running into. debt under the pres.
ent Democratic administration.
His pet free trade plan was largely
resi- onsible for this condition. and
now no other man believes that
the Republican party will run the
nation in debt when they again
get control Of it. The Republican
party is the debt paying party;
the Democratic party is the debt
making party. The, nation and
county have both tried both, and
the experience Of both proves the
above.
