The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1896-01-30

Senator John D. Cameron, in an
interview with Frank G. Carpenter,
special correspondent to the st. Paul
Globe, said: - 5s.",s"> 4
Congress is better than people
suppose it to be. Some of the best
work done by the body does not get
into the newspapers. The business
of congress is not done on the floor
of the house and senate, but in the
committee rooms. We are more and
more nearing the day when
the best of our government work
must be done by business brains
by thinking rather than by speech
making. The great men of congress
in the eyes of the people, are those
who can ably discuss points of or
der, who can spend hours in telling
why bill should he brought in
through the right wing of the cApitol,
rather than through the left wing, and
not as to the value of the bill itself.
The questions of the day are practi-
cal questions and they require
thought rather than speechmaking.
We want to know how our commerce
may be Increased and how our fnan-
cial and material condition may be
bettered rather than to show how
loud the American eagle screams or
to boast of the vast extent of country
covered by his pinjons."

The medium of exchange of the
farmer is the produce of his farm
The Warsaw Times sites an instance
which strikingly illustrates this fact:
A Kosciusko county farmer not
long ago went into a clothing store
in that city and purchased a suit of
clothes at remarkably low figure,
considering the quality of the goods.
The proprietor said: "That is the
cheapest suit of clothes you ever
bought" :.Oh, no." said the farmer,
"this suit cost me 20 bushels of wheat.
I have never paid over Is bushels Of
wheat for suit of clothes before"
