Hon. Herman Stockenstrom, the
eminent Swedish American Jour-
nalist has entered the editorial
sanctum of Svenska Amerikan-
Ska Posten. We congratulate
the journal on so eminent acqui-
sition to it's already able force.
Svenska Amerikanska Poster has
enjoyed a phenomenal success,
is a really great newspaper, the
greatest we believe, in the Swed-
ish language in America, if not
anywhere. Its success is due to
the fact that it is liberal and pro.
gressive and in touch with the
advancing ideas SO prominently
a distinguishing trait of the
SWedes as a people: Svenska
Amerikanska Posten has a great
future and is a Almighty power for
good wherever it is read, and it
is found in every state of the
Union wherever Swedes are
found. "

To the editor of the Globe:

chasing value of American silver
coin is in England at this time,
and what was its purchasing
value before it was demonetjzed
in 1873, and oblige.

Lansboro, Mimi. March 8, 1897.
Its purchasing power mere is
it's bullion value, about 68 cents
an ounce. Before demonstration
in 1873, it's value was $1.29 an OF.
The value of one dollar is now 50
cents, and was then $1.03."
Thus speaks that Hybrid-Plu-
tocratjc- Democratic Republican
sheet, the st. Paul Globe. And
yet every American, who has
ever crossed the Atlantic, and
every foreigner who has migrat-
ed to shores, knows that you will
no more find American money,
gold or silver, in circulation in
Europe than you find Europe
an money in this country. Who
is there that has ever seen a five

to the ''purser' of the ship, and
he gave him English, French or

that it will in Jlme cement them
into compact army animated by
the same chief purpose.
Between these two forces the
preliminary skirmish is now be-
ing fought in Kentucky. Here
after it will be fought in every
state of the Union. South of the
Ohio and west of the Mississippi
the silver forces will win at once
when it comes toa real contest.
The material interest of this Sec
ton is undissolubly united with
the white metal. For material
interest will decide this question
as much as it did this question as
it did the slavery question.
The North Eastern section will
ofcourseuphold thegold standard.
1t is for their interest, immedi-
ate interest we mean, to take
this stand. Thus the struggle
will become a sectional issue.
We ask our readers to note
down this prediction, and watch
the conrse of events, and see
how much of a prophet we are.
Let everybody prepare for the
conflict and choose on which side
they will stand. There will be
no middle ground. Fence riders
will be shot down by the fire
from the both armies, and die
without honors from anybody.
And they deserve to be.
We honor an open and manly
enemy. Every man has a right
to his opinion on this question.
If he believes in the gold stand
ard and says so openly, and fights
for it in a manly way he deserves
respect, no matter if we differ
from him. But from milk and

question is at stake, and on the

Let US have this question out

way or the other.

theorists apparently inside of
the peoples party. It is indeed
strange that men cannot under
stand that no matter how our
views may differ on hundred
and one different subjects, a ma
tional political party to be of any
account, must adopt a program
that will command the support
Of over one-half of all the voters
OF the nation. In forming plat
form we should ask, what step
will the majority of the voters of
the nation unite on in inacting
into law, now, for the benefit of
the nation? The answer to the
question should be our platform.
The majority in this country
rules. We must make a plat
form that the majority will vote
for. Otherwise we are putting
up men to be slaughtered, and
prove ourselves unworthy as po-
litical leaders and deservedly so.
We are glad to see Mr.. Donnelly
is thoroughly alive to the impor-
lance of this point. And we hope
that every prominent populist
will raise his voice and pen in
such a manner that the crank
shall hunt his hole in a short

We for once give notice to our

stand no nonsense. We have
neither time nor patience to
waste our effort on impracticable
theories, however true they may
be in the abstract, and however
practicable they may be when the

not wish to attempt the impos-

We had heard so much about
what persons who wish to be
known as friends of silver in
the Republican party were going
to do in case the party did not
come out squarely for bimetalism
that we were curious to see the
fun at the convention. We were
surprised that not a word was
said regarding platform, nor an
instruction given to delegates:
Everyone knows how the party
is supposed to stand on the tariff,
but there is some question re-
garding money, at least so the re.
formers in the old party say, and
we expected to hear some de-
mand made against another am
biguous straddle of the money
question. But everybody kept
mum, and the G.. 0. P. may
come out fat for the gold stand
ard as far as Kandiyohi county
republicans are concerned. The
tangle on this new complicated
primary law was just a tritle awk-
ward. If these statesmen who
helped to pass the law are in
doubt as to it's provisions, what
is to be expected from ordinary
people? Congressman Eddy will
no doubt feel sighted when he
reads the TR1BUNE's report of
the convention to find that his
name was not once mentioned
in the convention.

THE SCANDINAVIAN PRESS.

The Scandinavian reform press
OF this state is steadily marching
to the front as never before.
We have so many good journals,
all good and each one striving to
be better than the other, that it
would be invidious to make dis
tinctions. First stands Svenska
Amerikanska Poster with over
10000 circulation. With a lesser
and yet very large circulation we
may mention, Nye Normanden,
Rodhuggeren, Duluth Scandinav,
Populisten and still others that
we are not so we'll acquainted
with. All of these journals are
ably edited. Rodhuggaren is
now an eight page paper and full
of meat all the time. We per-
sumo our Scandinavian readers
are all. subscribers to one or
more OF the above papers. II
some are not they should be.
Even if you don't agree with all
these papers advocate, you
should have one of them anyway
so as to keep up with the line of
progress. Withoutdisparagement
to the Representative with it's
10000 circulation, and fire and
lightning of the ininmitable
Donnelly, and the able English
populist press all over the state,
we dare say that the Scandinav-
ian reform press is one of the
mighty forces that is moving
things politically in Minnesota.
The Scandinavian people are
great readers and deep thinkers.
Dime novels have no attraction
for them. You find scarcely any
in the ordinary Scandinavian
home. But instead, you see
books and newspapers every
where of the sort that furnishes
solid food for thought, religious
or political. And this reform
literature is doing it's mighty
work of polit ical regeneration.
Nothing can stem the the re-
form movement among the
Scandinavians. Proverbially,
the Scandinavian moves slow, he
looks before he leaps. But when
he does leap, it is a step forward,
never to be retraced.
Another unique popularity of
the Scandinavian press is the
volumi',ous correspondence pri-
vate parties they contain.
Few English papers contain any,
thing outside of the editorial con-
tributors. Not so the Scandi.
navian papers. Whole pages
in them are devoted to letters
from subscribers dealing with

a man should be compelled by
law to pay back only what he
borrowed, with fair interest, &C.
cording to the contract, or wheth-
er he should by law be made to
pay something he never agreed
to pay, something for which he
never received a consideration.
Let US suppose for the sake of IL
lustration, that Bro. Satterlee
receives dollar for which he
agrees to send for 50 consecutive
weeks a six column eight page
newspaper called the Atwater
Republican. We will suppose
that Bro. Satterlee has figured
out before hand the cost of
printing such a paper and made
up the contents accordingly. But
after Bro. Satterlee has received
his dollar congress passes law
that all newspapers must be
seven columns and filled with
original matter. Bro. Satterlee
must of course comply with the
newspaper law Or loose his
franchise. Now does Bro. Sat.
terlee mean to say that such d
law as we have here supposed
to be passed for the regulation
OF newspaper would only involve
a question of expediency? Yet it
is precisely such law that con
gress passed when it repealed
the Sherman law and stopped the
usual and necessary supply oil
S4,5OO,000 per month. BY stop
ping that regular and necessary
supply of money. money was
maze SCarCer and dearer, be-
cause the supply of money was
diminished, and every debtor
was by that law adjudged to pay
his debt in more valuable money
unit than he had agreed to pay ir
the contract. Every money OBJ
legation in the land was violated,
changed for the benefit of the
creditor and to the detriment O.
the debtor by that act. It was
an act of confscation of ever,
debtors property for the benefit
OF the creditor. And to claim
that such Legislation does rot in
volve moral turpitude, is simply
a matter of expediency simply
shows that Bro. Satterlee does
not ever dream of the issues in
volved in the money question.

We always thought there was
some niger concealed in the late
election law. Editor Paradis of
the Midway News-strong Re-
publican,-brings the African
out of the wood pile. The great
republican victory of last fall
was of course utilized to still
further restrict the liberties and
rights of the common people.
The independent and liberty low
ing men in the party will see
what it all means when conven-
ton convenes. Read the follow
ing:
''The boosted independence of the
American citizen is fast becoming a
thing of the past and an object of rid
icule. He has always been wont to
regard the primaries as the bulwark
of his liberty, but in Minnesota the
independent man has finally been leg
islated out of the primaries, who hap
pens not be in harmony with the To-
cal machine, it is the privilege of any
one present to challenge his vote.
He may make oath that he has affiliated
with the party holding the primary,
but the law says that "the judges are
to pass upon the truth of such statements
and receive or reject his vote in &C.
cordance with their conclusions. {"
Inasmuch as "the chairman of the
county committee may select such
Judges" if he wants to, it is plain to
| see that the chairman of the county
committee is simply vested with the
power to disfranchise such as may be
most objectionable to him. Thus the
chairmen of committees, from precinct
to state, become power unto them
selves, from whose decision THERE'S no

THE ATWATER REPUBLICAN
ON MONEY.

Inc TRIBUNE, OF Wlllmar, mas call
ed for our ideas on the money ques-
ton, and in reply we will say that
we have many but they are not yet all
definite. We are in favor of sound
money, every dollar of which is at
par, be it gold, silver or paper. We
are in favor of intrinsic money, which
is worth it's value anywhere on the
earth. # such money is not impos-
sible, give us the nearest to it. We
are in favor of all the silver that
can be kept at parity with gold. AS
to single or double standard we have
no fixed preference. We are in favor
of all the fiat money necessary and
sustainable and we do not care who
issues it, so long as it's value is main
tanned, and it is redeemable in our
redemption money, whatever that may
be.-Atwater Republican.
Yes, Bro Satterlee has ideas
on the money question, and a
reading of the above will disclose
that they are not all definite! We
present the above to our populist
friends as a good sample of the
state of information on the ques-
ton in the minds of the ordinary
old party newspaper man. To
even tyro in monetary science tits
evident Bro, Satterlee does not
know the meaning of the terms he
uses. We don't mean any disre-
spect to Bro. Satterlee, but truth
compels us to state it that way.
Now what is the use to argue
with Bro Satterlee on the money
question, when he is utterly ig-
norant as to the meaning Of near
ly every specific term used in
monetary science. AS we'll
might we attempt a discussion
with our chore boy about the in
fection and conjugation of greek
verbs
The money question is a terra
incognito to Bro. Satterlee. Now
we never thought that Bro Sat-
terlee was superstitious, yet he
sees in his imagination this
unkpown territory inhabited with
hobgoblins and gigantic mon;
sters of fearful mica! He eau
tions us to go slow. He says:
'.We have 40 creed in money matters:
We believe it to be a question for
grave consideration, and while we
cannot point out the way, we can and
do advice all to be slow and sure in
choosing a stand. It is not ques-
ton of right or wrong but one OF ex-
ped;ency. Don'tjump at conclusions
but hold to reason and calm, sunbias-
ed Judgment. = zze..,s. .ss, -
It is not a question of right
wrong but one of expediency.'
S. Well, now, that is news to us!
We always thought is was a ques-
ton Of right and wrong whether
