Mckinley managers have de-
cided that he will not make any
tour or speeches during the cam
paign, as he will have ample op-
portunity to meet the people, of
the country in the delegations
which are constantly making
pilgrimages to his home. There
is a fitness in this arrangement
that we should not overlook. Me-
Kinley's friends are largely sup
piled with passes or have ample
means to spend in railroad fare
to visit their candidates, but the
people whose interests Mr.. Bry-
an is championing-will as a rule
be obliged to stay home on
account of their slender purses,
and would not be able to send
delegations from both ends of the
continent to greet their leader.
Hence ills appropriate that Mr..
Bryan should visit different por-
tons of the country to give all a
chance to see and hear him.

Solomon Ogren says there is
only one man in the county as
far as he knows that reads the
Willmar Tribune exclusively.
AS the TRIBUNE has several
Thousand readers in the county
Mr.. Ogren's testimony is valu-
able as it shows that populists as
a rule read both sides and hence
need not be "misinformed," as he
states that all honest free silver
men are. This will bring all pc
pulists in the county except one
under Ogren's category Of elders
and spendthrifts, bankrupt spec
u]ators and broken politicians. -

Newer since slavery day has
the press in the parts Of the coun-

disregard for truth and such
stubborn obtuseness to the most
obvious consideration as it does
at present on the silver question.
This means that the money pow

representatives. in New York, Phil
adelphia and Chicago, is deter.
mined to continue the apprecia'
ton of gold, and determined
therefore that the facts shall not
be known. The bankers and the

greatest question of civilization.

THE PIONEER PRESS MAKES
A TRUE STATEMENT.


In answering a question pro.
pounded by L. O. Thorpe Of this
city the Pioneer Press states that
it is not the amount of money of
ultimate redemption that deter
mines the prices Of products but
the total amount of both credit
and redemption money and bank
credits and exchange that deter
mines the values. And as the
latter constitute 95 percent of
the business transacted, we have
to infer that gold and silver cut
no figure at all. Strange that
the Pioneer Press should be-
come so alarmed over the
prospects of having our pre-
sent silver money transferred into
the redemption money column,
when the total amount of silver
available for coinage could not
possibly reach more than three
percent of the total circulating
medium according to the figures
given and when the same could
not effect prices or values. The
Press however gave it's case
away in this sentence:
"Gold is not used at all in the
great majority of these transac
tions, but behind all the enor.
nous volume of checks and bills
OF exchange, through which the
business of commercial countries
is mainly done, is the gold re-
serve in the banks, which per
