BRO. PALMER of the Signal wishes
us to discuss the financial question
with him. Oh, no, brother, life is too
short, and the task too herculean, for
us to attempt to teach you finance,
or change your warped opinions.
Your party sets up an ass and says to
you, this is q horse, and you readily
believe, and all creation could not get
you to say it was anything else than
a horse, and it is a horse with you
until the Republican party calls it
some other name. We are giving the
readers of the NORTHWEST consider
able information upon the money
question, views of statesmen and
minds who have given the question
thought and study. Now let the Sig.
nal do the same and the people will
be benefited more than if we infiict
upon them column articles of oul
own manufacture. If Mckinley was
even half as willing to tell what he
knows upon the financial question as
Bro. Palmer is, the Republicans
would not now be in doubt as tC
where he stands. But Mac is SHARP
enough not to display his ignorance
Wish we could say as much for - .,r

SHEEP are bringing very fair prices
now in this country; but for all that,
it does not pay to raise cheap wool on
dear land. The shepherds who do
most of the complaining about free
wool are in the wool commission busi-
ness or editing high tariff newspa-
pers. The Louisville Courier Journal
is cruel enough to recall to their
minds little wool and tariff history,
as follows:
"As to prices Of wool, it may be
noted that in January, 1867, before
the passage of the high wool tariff,
fine wool was worth Gs cents a pound
in New York. In October of the same
year, after the passage of the high
tariff, the same grade of wool was
down to AS cents. We do not say that
the decline was due to the tariff; but
what would protectionists have said
il the tariff had been reduced? In 1865
fine wool sold for S1.02 a pound under
much lower tariff than that of 1867.
1t is true that these prices were on an
inflated currency, bat if we go back
to 1859 and 1860, when wool was vir-
tually free, it sold for go cents a
pound in currency equal to gold.
Under the tariff of 1867 it went down
to "a cents in 1879, and under the Nc
Kinley bill to 20 cents in 1894. Wool
has declined far less under the pres
ent tariff than under former tariffs,
and the recent decline has occurred
in a period of business depression due
to Mr. Sherman's unfortunate expert
ment with the finances of the coun-
try"

Nor q little dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed at the action of the Court
and Prosecuting Attorney in their
wholesale nolLe DroSequi Of cases
against criminals which the Grand
Jury had taken so much time and
pains to indict, and that too, after a
large number of witnesses upon the
cases had been summoned to the
county seat ready to testify. Prob
ably the Court and Prosecuting At
torney can give satisfactory excuse
for their actions, but to a man up q
tree the transaction looks shady
At best, court business is expensive
to the county, but the expense of the
term which has just closed has beer
unusually excessive, aggregating {
sum into the thousands of dollars
The Grand Jury was in session for {
week, working upon evidence to in
dict the persons whose cases were 81
hastily nollied, and it was reasonabl,
to be supposed that the prisoner
would be brought to trial, and thei
cases tried upon their merits. Blu
the abrupt termination of them no
only took the bar by surprise, bu
the people generally were astounde'
and were at a loss to comprehend it
meaning. Who can throw dayligh
upon the matter ?

IT is almost a certainty that the
republicans will straddle the money
question in a plank similar to the
one made at Minneapolis in 1892, OF
the present Ohio plank, of which Nc
Kinley is credited with being the
author. The democratic party at
Chicago should make clear cut
declaration upon the money ques
tion-for gold or for gold and silver
with the latter restored to it's full
place as money. Should this be
done the party of the people will
triumph at the coming November
election,

Lookout for the Engine!
The Lima Northern Built TO
Napoleon,
Iron Rails Now Connect Lima
and the Garden City of
the Northwest.

The laying OF iron on the Lima
Northern reached this cityWednesday
evening, and as we go to press iron
is being laid over the Maumee on the
temporary structure. A little delay
will be experienced at this point in
the continuance of iron laying be-
tween Napoleon and Wauseon, on
account of the grade not being fin
ished, but the delay will not be long,
and within the next two weeks this
city and Wauseon will be connected
with the iron band, as it is now with
Lima.
The new road is now ballasted to
Hamler, and the large force on this
part of the work are now employed
in ballasting the road between Ham
Ter and Napoleon, which work will
be completed within the next three
weeks.
When this is done regular through
trains will be run between Lima and
Napoleon, for both passenger and
freight traffic. When this occurs
Napoleon will have experienced her
long felt want of having more than
one railroad.
The building of the Lima North
ern has installed new vigor into our
beautiful little city, and has given il
an impetus which it has not expert
enced for a long series of years. And
now that Napoleon is on the up
grade it will continue to improve and
will not take a back seat for any 9th
er burg in the great Northwest.
