AN UNEQUAL EXCHANGE.

The Revieov thinks that the fact
that the exports Of American manu-
featured products have increased $780,
OO0 900 since the Mckinley law was
repealed is an effective reply against
the restoration Of protection. This
statement shows that our neighbor
has adjusted it's eye to but one side Of
the matter. What has America
gained by this increased export Of
seventy millions, when the chance
for home labor has been displaced by
the importing of more than S200,000,-
900 millions in the meantime, of the
products of cheap European labor.
Our idle mills and smokeless smoke
stacks, and wOrkingmen out of work
give far different reply to the repeal
of that most benefcent measure,
than what the Reuieao interprets, and
only testities to the stupidity of the
American people in allowing others
to do the work that they might just
do Wcll uO IOT UUcIuSSlVGS. Ii UuO
seventy millions had been a gain in
our total manufactures it would have
been somewhat different story and
there might be an opportunity for
congratulation. But with men
thrown out of employment, with
mills everywhere closed, with our
total exports in almost every direc-
tion cut down, with consumption
of all products greatly reduced, it is
hardly probable that the great ma
jority of the American people will
be able to see with our neighbor,
who're fragmentary increase onein
direction meets the total loss of
several times as much, and is an SET
fective reply against the restoration"
of adequate protection to our indus
tries. 1t is queer mind, coupled
with queer arithmetic that looks up
on gain of seventy millions as an
adequate recompense for the loss of
several times as much.

THEY TALKED POLITICS.
Then one Brother n-law Broke a
Rib for the Other.

The people up in Judson haven't
got done yet talking about the recent
political battle fought there. j. W.
Wigley was driving along Tuesday
and met his brother-in-law, Thos. r..
Owens, driving to the creamery, and
stopped to have a chat about the re-
cent caucus. He asked Owens why
he was not at the caucus, and the lat
ter replied that he didn't see how it
was anybody's business. Mr.. Wigley
thought it was somebody's business,
and then, according to his version of
the affair, Owens got down from his
wagon, pulled Wigley down
over the front wheel, struck and
kicked him, sand broke one rib and
cracked'two more. Wigley is confined
to his house under the care Of DR..
Williams, of Lake Crystal.
Wednesday, Mr.. Wigley's father,
Hon. Richard Wigley, procured a
warrant for the arrest of Owens, and
Sheriff Bowen went out to serve it,.
The warrant charges assault in the
second degree, which is penetenti-
airy offense.

SOr1E FREE SILVER PRICES.

From time to time the free silver
monometallists point out the beauties
of free silver and refer to Mexico as
an object lesson of silver paradise.
But the exploits with the Mexican
free silver dollar, by which the real
situation under free and unlimited
silver has been most forcibly revealed
to the American, has been a decided
damper upon the ardor of the advo-
Gates of debased dollar. They have
squirmed a considerable under
the object lesson which has
been given by many business men
throughout the country and have tried
to break it's force by saying that the
reason for the difference between the
Mexican dollar is because one is legal
tender here and the other is not. But
this is not true, for in Mexico, where
the Mexican dollar is legal tender, 1t
is worth no more and the American
dollar possesses the same advantage
over it. The effect of free silver in
Mexico is shown by the following
table giving a comparison OF prices
in the United States and Mexico,
prepared by Mayor Campbell, OF Ell
Paso, Texas This great change is
found immediate upon entering Next

MCKINLEY EPlGRAnS.

1t is not an increase in the volume
of money which is the need Of the
time, but an increase in the volume
of business. Not an increase of coin,
but an increase of confidence. Not
more coinage, but an active use of the
money coined. Not open minis for
the unlimited coinage of the silver of
the world, but open mills for the full
and unrestricted labor of American
WOrkmen.
The employment of our minis for
the coinage of the silver of the world
would not bring the necessaries and
comforts of life back to our people.
These will only come with the en-
ployment of the masses, and such en-
plOyment is certain to follow the re-
establishment of a wise protective
policy, which shall encourage manu-
featuring at home.
Protection has lost none of it's virtue
and Importance. The first duty Of
the Republican party, if restored to
power in the country, will be the en-
actment of d tariff law which will
raise all the money necessary to con-
duct the government, economically
and honestly administered, and SO ad-
justed as to give preference to home
manufactures and adequate protec-
tion to home labor and home markets.

w. D. Richardson, of Garden City,
has a herd of fifteen Guerrnseys
entered at the state fair. He will
make circuit of state fairs with
them, going to indianapolis, Mil
waukee, Springfield, ILL.,, and ST.
Louis. This will keep him busy until
Oct. 10. He has one Of the finest
herds in the county, and has been
awarded many prizes in the past. 1t
is curious fact that the twin city
papers have not mentioned this herd
in the list of entries, and that it wins
better prizes in other states than in
this. There are some features about
this apparent discrimination that
may lead to investigation hereafter.

WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN.

The Northwestern. Miner, a nOn-par-
tisan industrial paper published at
Duluth, notes that the iron industry
has suffered to a possibly greater ex-
tent than most any other from the
unsettled condition Of monetary az
fairs. It states that during the
month of August there was a reduc-
tion in the blast furnace capacity
amounting to the equivalent of mil
lion tons year; iron mines have been
closed and from so to Is per cent of
their help discharged. Speaking of
the future it says that but little will
be done by manufacturers and mine
operators until the result Of the
coming election is known. AS to
what would be the result if the cleo
tion of Mckinley could be assured as
a positive fact, can be gathered from
the following interviews which the
Miner publishes:
A prominent mine owner says: IF
Mckinley were elected we would at
once prepare to double our capacity
for taking out ore next season."
eff Mckinley were elected" says
G. r. Heneage of the Pennsylvania &
Ohio Coal Company, 1--WE should
largely increase our capacity for
handling coal at the head of the
lakes next season.

the American Steele Barge Works,
"we should begin on two or three
more big boats right away and COM

dock"
''If Mckinley were elected" says
the Northern Pacific Railroad Off
cials, "we should inaugurate at once
extensive Improvements on our line
at the head of the lakes"
''If Mckinley were elected" says
Major Sears, government engineer, sit
would be safe to let the contract for
the local harbor Improvements under
the continuous contract system. No
contracts will be awarded until after
the election"

THEY nUST DECEIVE TO WIN.

The Fairmont Independent wants to
know why papers like Frank Days
Sentinel and others, that are running
extracts of Blaine's speech at the top
of their editorial columns, do not do
justice to the people by publishing
the whole sheech. Why? Simply
because printing the whole of it
would be giving their case away and
show that Blaine was strong sound
money man, who believed, and stated
in the speech, from which they make
garbled extract, that this govern
ment could not coin free and unlim-
tied quantities of 92-cent dollar and
hold it at parity with gold. They
know that holding the views he did
when he made that speech in 1878,
Mr., Blaine, were he alive today, would
be one of the strongest and most &C.
tive supporters of Major McKin-
ley and the Republican platform in
the country. One cannot imagine,
after reading that speech, advocating
53-cent dollar. And knowing his
sturdy Americanism, there is no man
that can honestly say that if alive,
he would be found supporting the
Chicago platform with it's vicious and
anarchistic attack upon law and or
der and the supreme court. The

that can imagine him descending to
the level of the Altgeld's and Till

WHAT POPOCRATIC SUCCESS
WOULD LEAD TO.

When Mr.. Lind addressed the Pop
ulist convention last week he said
that he was neither Populist
nor a Democrat. He went further
and would have the people infer that
he was beyond all party. But that
is hardly true. His assertion that he
is neither Populist nor Democrat
is doubtless true. He has developed.
according to his own statement into a
Popcrat, and at the time Of his re-
marks in this city informed his fol-
lowers that he stood squarely upon
the Chicago platform. In standing
squarely upon that platform, he en-
dorses it's sentiments, and as he made
no exceptions to it whatever swallows
it whole-its anarchistic sentiments
and all. The Popocratic conventions
which placed Mr.. Lind in nomination
were thoroughly imbued with the
Populistic sentiment which has had
run through the west for number
of years back, and which brought
Kansas to the very verge of ruin. The
ideas which prevailed at Chicago pre-
vail among the local leaders, and are
openly accepted by Mr.. Lind. The
success then, of Mr.. Lind and his
Popocratic following would mean the
launching of Minnesota upon the
same sea of distress that Kansas has
passed through as d result of the rule
of Populism there. 1t would mean
the same assaults upon capital that
were made there. 1t would mean the
same Indictment of the poor against
the rich, which Mr. Lind has already
begun to preach. Do the people of Min
nesota want such revolutionary pro-
ceeding in the progress of their state
to take place? 1T is a state of mag
niicent resources, and it wants and
invites capital to come and develop
those resources, build up great indus
tries, build up large armies OF con-
consumers and so furnish market
for the products of it's magnificent
farms.
Minnesota does not want any policy
pursued, nor any set of men elected
to Office that in any way incites labor
against capital. And melting labor
against capital is the chief stock in
trade of the present Popocratic COM
bination. Minnesota does not want
to drift backward, but push forward,
but the only progress it will make, by
the election Of any man standing
upon the Chicago platform, is of the
kind that proceeds toward chaos.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-09-04

and would result in bringing down
the rate of interest and cause an i'm
mediate rise in the price OF all COM
modities. 1t predicts as result an
era of great prosperity to the United
States, and that it will seriously Grip
pie England. Only couple of para
graphs of the article are copied in the
papers, but what is purported as the
entire article is printed on leafiet,
and is being circulated by the millions
from Popocratic headquarters. 1t is
claimed that the article in question
appeared in the Financial Neaos in its
issue of March 10th last. Such an eX-
preston from snch source could not
otherwise than attract the attention
of business men everywhere, and as a
result the attention of the London
Financial Neacs was called to it and it
was asked if it ever published such an
article. In it's issue of Aug. 18th the
editor of the Financial Neaos replying
TO the inquiries made, says:
"No such article aoas eUer printed by
''us and its aChole tenor Is directly OPP
"posed to the vieoU ace haze taken of
"tbe effect Of free silver IN the United
Estates"
1t is not probable, however, that
the fact that the article was never
published in that journal, will make
any difference with the Popocrats and
the spread of the forgery will doubt
less go on. Among the papers which
helped to spread the forgery was the
local advocate of 50-cent dollars,
which published the extract some
days ago. Doubtless it did it honest
ly believing that it was genuine. Will
it now correct the false impression
which it helped to spread?
But the Financial Neaos article is
not the only forgery which some of
the silverites have been putting
forth. They have been publishing a
latter claimed to have been written
by DR.. Arendt, the leading bimetal-
list of Germany, and one of the lead
ers of that. cause in Europe. In
this they make him say that the cleo
tion of Bryan would be good thing
for the cause of silver, and would
eventually force the cause of bimetal
lism upon the world. They further
make him say that were he voter
IN this country he would earnestly
support, and vote for Bryan. 1t
turns out that this is also a forgery
and that DIR. Arendt never wrote
this article, nor does he hold such
views. The article looked somewhat
fishy from the fact that DR.. Arendt
published in the North american Re
yieao a month or two ago an article in
which he set forth entirely different
views, holding that the adoption of
free silver would not only be bad
thing for this country, but that it
would prove most serious blow to
the cause Of bimetallism throughout
the world.
The cause of the silverites is surely
getting desperate when they are
obliged to resort, not only to base
forgeries, but also to garbling the
words of the dead.

This goods in this table can be pur-

der all the supposed advantages OF

gives 80 bushels of wheat in exchange
for these goods he will have only
about 33 cents left, whereas the Am

correspondent of the New York
Herald in commenting upon this

Mayor Campbell prevail in the larger
cities. but range higher in the inter-
ior points. Mexican labor is paid in
the larger cities from Is cents to

American money" The beauties ~
thus revealed under the reign of

the American wage Garner nor the
American farmer as just the thing
they want. and they will hardly care
to exchange the alleged 5000 cent dol
