THE REPUBLICANS PARTY
WITHOUT A LEADER.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. a.
Today's treasury statement will show
al excess Of receipts Of over expendi-
lures for the month Of February of
$l21.S $40. The receipts for the month
are given as follows: Customs. S13.-
9OG, 1893: internal revenue, $40, 500, 1853;
miscellaneous. 81 ,346, os2 total, $26-
059,22S. The expenditures for the
month amounting to S25,93l, 3SS-Min-

Now where is the reason for
all this racket to pass a tariff
bill for more revenue? Here con-
gress has fooled away three
mouths to pass a revenue bill that
is as unnecessary as the fifth
wheel to Il wagon. IfTom Reed
can't bring out q better issue for
the coming campaign he had bet
ter quit. Ifhe can't get a bet
ter reason for expelling the free
silver senators from the party
than their refusal to vote for
this wholly unnecessary emerg-
ency tariff bill, he shows lack of
political sagacity. Indeed, the
course OF the Repu blicans since
congress met eyinces the utter
lack of craftsmanship and leader
ship as we'll. The insane at
tempt to force the whole party
to not only abandon the old
and time honored monetary prin-
ciples of the party, but also the
principles Of protection, TO COM
pei republicans to vote for an
out and out free trade tariff
bill, or be expelled from the par
ty--is indeed extraordinary. It
is the worst political blunder the
party has made for years. The
silver senators at once saw their
chance and Senator Garter in a
mastery speech planted himself
aud those who stood by him on
ground that is unasssilable. He
showed how the party (the gold

THE WORK OF SUBJECTION

When J. J. Hill, in the solid OPP
position of the country press to
his consolidation scheme, found
factor in his dominions which
could at SO critical d time success
fully dispute his authority, his
busy mind soon fixed on plan
for subjecting these wiley coun-
try pencil pushers. He accord
ing]y issued orders that no ad-
vertising mileage be issued to
the local papers along his lines.
This Was not done merely for
revenge, but was the first move
i'll his plan of subsection. It was
explained that shortly a new
plan of editorial transportation
would be inaugurated. Under
the old plan a yearly contract was
made by the publisher to give q
certain amount of advertising
space for a Gel tain amount Of
mileage. Both parties gave val
ne received and there was no OBJ
legation incurred The new
plan, and there is no doubt of it
now, is that every editor who will
make application for same will
receive d yearly free pass, entire
ly complimentary, Mr.. Hill
foresees, and his sagacity is fore
sight itself, that if the editor of
every local newspaper along his
lines rides On a pass given him
gratuitously by the company, the
opposition of these moulders of
public opinion to any OF the pet
schemes of the magnate would be
greatly modified, and perhaps
disappear entirely.
Nor does his plan of subsection
stop with the editors. At the
immigration convention at Fer
gus Falls, Mr.. Hill offered to
transport fifty farmers Of Otter
Tail county to St. Paul and back
ITO enable" them to inspect the
state agricultural farm. hat

A TERRIBLE RECORD.

Mr.. u. 0. Gates, of Mantor-
Vile, formerly register of deeds
of Dodge Co., has taken the trou-
bic to compile the number of
mortgages foreclosures which
have occurred in Minnesota since
1880, and in a letter to the Re-
preventative gives the results of
his labors, His tables show that
IN the 13 years of which the rec
ord deals, there we're 33,548
farms forclosed that we're not
redeemed, and 81, 112 town lots
sold to satisfy mortgages or the
Same which were MT redeemed.
The Representative concludes
with the following stirring com
ment:
Here is new state, with the
most fertile soil in the world, and
the most invigorating climate;
and nearly the whole land given
away: as q free gift, to those who
would come and live on it; and SO
occupied by the most energetic
and industrious people on earth:
and in half the life time Of u man.
according to the Bible, (''three
score and ten years'') the mort
cages on the lands of the state
amount, according to the United
States census Of 1890, to nearly
two hundred million dollars!
And 80, 548 farms, out of tot;,l
OF about 100000 farmers are
grabbed away from the owners
and handed over to idle money
lenders.

pet blast to Waken the dead

l STRAW WHICH SHOWS
THE WAY THE WIND
BLOWS.

The New York Chamber Of
Commerce demands the mainte
nance Of the present gold stand
ard of value. Poor Eddy and
the rest of the "bimetalIic''
gold monometallists will have to
get of the fence very soon or
they will incur the displeasure
Of the ''business INTERESTS of
the country. There is no use
trying to dodge the issue.
Choose We this day whom We
shall serve. The following is~an
extract from an appeal from the
Cham Der ut New York, report
ed in u dispatch to Minneapolis
Tribune March 5:
ut invites cooperation to this end in
al effort to create a strong public op
ition in behalf Of an unequivocal dec
laration by the political conventions
OF both Of the great parties in favor Of
the maintenance OF our existing stand
ard and OF the elimination Of all
doubtful expressions in respect to the
reOpening Of the minis of the United
States to the free coinage OF silver.
The times is past, if it ever existed,
for any halting and doubtful phrasiny
to express the meaning OF political
parties upon this important subject.
We must have no platforms that can
be interpreted or mean one thing in
one part Of the land and another thing
In another part of the land. It is i'm
portant to every business man, pro-
ducer and wage Garner to put stop to
the enormous cost of the government
and to all of our people resulting
from the continuance of the agitation
in favor OF the free coinage of silver,
WHICH stands in the way OF a. revival
OF confidence and national business
prosperity.
Therefore, we ask all citizens to un-
tie in a vigorous effort to urge the
selection of delegates to the political
conventions of both great parties who
will advocate clear and distinct plat.
form utterances in favor of the main.
tenanee of the present gold standard
OF value. The time is short and action
ought, therefore to be all the more
prompt and determined. -

THAT LABOR QUESTION.

Congressman McCleary in re-
| ply TO Mr.. Towne of Duluth, con
tended that wages were never SO
high as in 1892. That since 1878
wages had risen So per cent and
the purchasing power of the dol
lar had increased 70 per cent.
According to that showing labor
ers were more than 1925 per cent
better off in 1892 than in 1873.
Unfortunately the facts do not
bear out his statement. $50
much the worse for the facts, -
I persume the professor would
say. It was Jerry Simpson who
said: 1T may be thai figures
won't lie but liars will figure"
Is it not strange that our lab
Oring men are not sensible of
this great advancement in their
circumstances? Why are they
still grum bling? Why are soup
houses and pauperism increas-
ing? If this sort of increase is
having such terrible effect on the
over prosperous laborer would it
not be better after all, professor,
to go back to 1873 when we had
vastly less crime and pauperism?
If high wages and cheap pro-
ducts result in crime, pauperism,
trampism, ana1 chy- and strikes,
thereis nothing we should so
guard against as high wages and
cheap goods. Then where. goes
your basis for protection? You
have held up the tariff as the
wonderful magician which
brought us high wages and low
prices. Professor you have been

milton exists in the country. The
products of labor in general and
farm products especially is low,
too low to pay fair compensation
to the producers. Property is
depreclating everywhere. Con-
tidence, business confidence if
you like, is absent, because there
is no prospective profit in any
kind Of business on a falling mar
l1et Money seeks investm ent
in low interest bearing bonds,
instead of in'business, because of
this everlasting falling of prices
Of everything. Nobody denies
this fact.
Now we believe that true BIZ
metallisIn, the unlimited coinage
of silver into money, or the free
privilege to do so, will stop this
down ward trend of general pri-
ces, and enable business gener-
ally to start up again. We will
not discuss why we believe so at
this time. We will simply say
that we are thoroughly convinced
in our own mind, and so are
thousands and millions Of intelli-
gent citizens in the nation. that
it will do so.
But we are not hidebound nor
party fanatics. We don't care
how business is started again, if
it is only done. If the repu BIZ
can party, or the democratic par
ty have any other plan by which
they can revive we'll and good,
we Say. amen. We welcome re-
lief from any source and in any
honorable way. Nor do we
mean to say that free coinage of
silver is the only way to revive
business again. We are satisfied
that congress can enact a law
that will revive business conf
dence in short order without
resorting to free coinage o. silver.
We arc satisfied that a simple re-
solution Of congress peremptor-
ity instructing the secretary OF
the treasury to faithfully execute
existing laws will in a meas ure
revive business. The admins
tration would not dare to refuse
obeying positive instructions by
congress.
Now if the republican congress
would show a disposition to act
in this direction, if it would show
a true desire to relieve the coun-
try even then we would feel en-
couraged.
But simply an enlarged edition
of the Wilson bill and bond bills
will not revive industry. And
that is all congress has proposed
so far.
Let the republican congress
form uIute some better and more
feasible plan of reviving business
than free coinage of silver, and
we will at once stop our silver
talk. Until they do that do not
blame us silverites for urging
our views.
