Again, we are told that under
tree coinage, the great banks and
trust companies would pay off
their depositors with 50 cent dol
lars. Yet the bankers as a class
are fairly frantic in their opposi-
ton to d measure which they as
sert is going to give them a profit
of fifty cents on each dollar of
their enormous deposits. Their
pious souls revolt at the idea.
It is also claimed that those
owing debts payable in gold
would be ruined because of the
high premium they would be
compelled to pay for gold, and
yet strange to say the holders Of
gold mortgages are wild with
fear at the thought of being paid
IN gold dollars at a premium, or
failing to get the gold, be COM
PEELED to foreclose and take the
mortgaged property at half it's
value. What nonsense! IF the
great banks could double their
money as result of free coinage
does anybody doubt that they
would jump at the chance? If the
holders of gold mortgages could
Increase their value by forcing
gold to premium, would they
let such an opportunity go by?
By every trick and scheme of
manipulation known to finance,
they are working to add to their
accumulated millions, all the
time pretending that they OBJ.
pose free coinage in the interest
of the laboring man, the savings
bank deposition, and the down
trodden debtor. 1t ought to be
apparent to any person of usua
intelligence that they are:lookine
out strictly for themselves; thai
the gold standard gives then
certain advantages which they
might lose under free coinage
and hence their opposition

For Representative they had
no alternative but to take Mr..
Feig, as there were no other as
pirants. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Feig has never been elected
by a majority over 40 votes in
three campaigns, some of the de-
legates expressed fear that he
would have hard campaign on
his hands if he won this fall
AtWater Press.
Mr.. Feig began his boom for
speaker Of the next House last
spring as the files Of the AIinnea-
polls Journal will show. While
he might have been in position to
|7dictate to the Republican County
Convention he showed vast
amount of gall in declaring sever
al months in advance of his nomi-
nation that he would be elected.
No, gentlemen, the people OF
Kandiyohi county will vote for

If the audience was mainly
composed of Republicans there
must have been great change of
sentiment before the audience
filed out. It is useless for the
Gazette to deny that Lind's
speech did not set many Of his
hearers right on the great issue
Of the day. The great demand
for Lind buttons among former
Republicans and the enrolment
of former Republican Club mem.
bers on the Bryan & Lind rolls
is pretty good evidence that

This apparent confidence of the
republicans that Mckinley will
be elected is either for the pur-
pose of deceiving or else mis-
placed. 1t is a conceded fact
that if Bryan can carry a score
OF electoral votes in the central
prairie states he will be elected.
This is the first election in
which it will be possible for a
candidate to be elected without
carrying either New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania or Illinois. But
all polls taken of the central
states show very encouragingly
for Bryan. In Iowa a detection
of 10000 republican votes was

Unless $4,000 democrats who vot.

Illinois show a majority for Bry-

HOW ENGLAND KEEPS HER
GOLD.

The movement of goll to this
country from England and France
still continues, and is giving
some solicltude to European
bankers. The amount that has
already come and that had been
engaged for shipment up to the
last Saturday was estimated by
Dun S Review to amount to $685.,
100000. The Bank of England
has been raising it's rates of dis
count, but the movement goes on,
and Monday mornings dispatch
eS announced another sale of one
million of gold by that bank and
of similar sales in Paris and Ber-
lin. The gold reserve in the
Treasury now amounts to $l18.,
100000. But the Bank of Eng
land possesses a means of check
ing the flow of gold, when it be-
comes really embarrassing, that
we do not possess. It simply
raises the rate Of discount. This
means that manufacturers, mer-
chants, commercial houses, etc.,
that want money for carrying on
their enterprises, must pay a
higher rate to get it from the
bank, the great supply reservoir.
If the bank puts the rate high
enough then all those holding
gold will soon find that they make
more by selling it to business
houses at home then by shipping
it to US, or elsewhere. This, of
course, is hard on those engaged
in business, and the Bank of
England has the power actually
to control the scale of prices in
the English markets by it's power
thus to raise or lower the rate of
discount. OF course our banks
can also raise and lower the rates,
when acting together but in our
case they are unable to stop an
outflow Of gold for the simple
reason that one does not need to
go to the banks to get the gold
here as long as the Treasury sup
plies it. France, England, Ger
many, and other European ma
tons have each some central
financial power which can usually
put a stop to gold exports. If we
are going to run this country on
q single gold basis it behooves us
to develop some plan for keepin g
the gold here at home when it is
needed badly.-New York Voice

HASELTON AND OGREN

The above firm of gold-bug
defenders are just now having
fits about John Lind. Haselton
tears Lind's speech at Spicer all
to pieces in his last weeks weekly
letter. This of course is not to
be wondered at. Mr. Haselton
has the reputation of being the
most skillful, learned and bril-
liant lawyer of Hawick, and with
al the candidate for county com
missioner of Kandiyohi county
and he ought to be able to do up
John Lind by wave of the hand,
and a stroke of his pen. We I'M
derstand the republicans, espe-
cially Swedish republicans, feel
highly elated, that the Haw-
ick lawyer has been found able to
do up their distinguished country
man. We understand that the
county commissionership is the
reward for his lawyership's dis
tinguished services.
But while Haselton is the bril-
liant advocate, His Honor &. S.
Ogren is the philosopher and pro-
found counselor. He says, "Mr.
Lind is a good speaker. Well
he could do no less honor to his
misguided country man 'dressed
up in populist raiment. IT, But he
says further that "this (Lind's)
argument however did not carry
conviction to the hearts Of those
who heard him or make new con-
verts to the populist faith: -
But not understanding his assur-
ance-We are reminded Of the
boy who whistled to keep his
courage while he passed by the
grave-yard-he proceeds in a
two-column article, to be contin-
ued Indefinitely, to refute these
very arguments Of John Lind.
And not only that, he proceeds to
defame the character of John
Lind in the most literal Herr
Most style. Lind is an Office
seeker, designing demagogue,
etc, etc. "-.... y ,s.s2. +. ~
Now in regard to Haselton we
all know that he borders: on do.
tage, and we can forgive the old
gentleman for any extravaganza.
But Ogren is posing as an intelli-
gent business man in the use Of
mental facul ties, and for
him Is come out III the why he
has against . FELLOW country man
against the most ennill el1t man Of
bis own natl lily Is this state
ma 20 far IS we know il il this
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1896-09-29

nation, is beyond all precedent,
and deties not only common
sense, but common decency. We
venture to say that no man who
hears John Lind speak will ques-
ton his honesty in his views, no
matter how much he may differ
in his opinion with him. And no
man can be more fair and free
from prevarication than John
Lind in his speeches. To charge
John Lind with prevarication and
Juggling statistics, as Mr.. Ogren
does, is the foulest calumny, the
grossest injustice ever uttered
by mortal lips. And when Mr..
Ogren utters it against the first
Swede that has ever risen to pro-
minence in the politics of this
country it becomes blacker than
the Internal regions in Hades.
We are not writing this to
plead the cause of Mr.. Lind in
particular. He does not need
our defense. We write this to
protest against such infamous
SANDER against a man whose
only sin is that is he up for office,
and out defending a cause unpop-
ular with certain politicians.
These unjust attacks on Mr..
Lind is rousing every Swede
with any nationality feeling about
him to John Lind's vindication.
But G.. S. Ogren shows later on
in his article what sympathy he
has for the farmer. He says:
THE idea Of q farmer running
under on so cent wheat these
times is all nonsense when two
good hands can take care Of $50
to POO acres with a few days help
in threshing time : 4 What
has made farmers and lot of
others hard up has been reckless
speculation in land and many
other things, and buying beyond
their means. Now here you
have the plutocrat in all his hid
eous deforlnity. The idea of a
farmer going under on so cent
wheat is nonsense! Is it, you re-
publican farmer? (For a popu-
list farm er is an 'anarchist' and ,
we presume, not entitled to live
at all, according to Mr.. Ogren s
cOde.)
And ''buying beyond their
means?' Yes, that is so. The
foolish farmers got an idea some
years ago that they ought to live
like white people, for the politi-
clans told them that they we're,
indeed, citizens of the greatest
repu bic on the earth, free men,
and were untitled to the privile-
ges of the land as such. And
these fool farmers were induced
by some oily tongue agent to buy
a shoddy buggy and a Eastwood
organ On time at four times it's
value, and when pay day came and
the so cent wheat didn't reach
then mortgage the home. Oh yes,
the farmers have bought beyond
their means! And by SO doing
have made millionaires and few
rich men in every town. And
now these very men that made
their money out of the farmer by
selling him goods at a big profit
is haunting the farmer for buying
himself into bankruptcy on shod-
dy, and telling them that so cent
wheat is alright; that a farmer is
we'll paid when he get a bare ]iv-
ing of sour milk and potatoes!
Oh yes, Ogren he is the man to
throw dirt on John Lind! Ogren
can com NIT the crime and Hasel-
ton can defend him, and both are
a pair that ought to make a CAPT.
tai attraction to dime museum.
