The remarkable growth of foreign

nave Just been completed for the estab-
iishment of direct steamship lines from
Norloik. Charleston Savannah and
Brunswick to European ports. Five
years ago only three Southern ports had

nehts from other ports being made by
tramp steamers.

NOW eleven Southern ports have es-

large number of steamers, has engaged
nuch OF their cargocS through the whole
winter and up to March. and another
company, operating from Norfolk, has
about fifty or SIXTY steamers engaged

nights, beginning Sunday, Nov. %,

OF the Democratic candidate, for presi-

drive hundreds of thousands of old

DIR. JOHNSONS VIE WS.

HOW WE CAME 70 BE DEFEATED.
For the information of our readers
we copy the following from the last
number Of the Willmar Tribune:
1.-THE readers of Willmar Tribune
will remember that we objected very
strongly to the nomination of John
Lind by the Democratic party last
summer. We feared then THAT il John
Lind came before the Populists of the
Seventh district labeled as a Demo-
crat thousands Of Populists would re-
fuse to vote for him. We feared that
notwiths landing that we also made
him our nominee, it would neverthe-
less mean disaster to us. Our bret
rem at CroOkston will remember our
earnest Plea with them for this aspect
OF the case. We were, however, over
ruled and when we saw that remon-
STRANGE was in vain, we accepted their
program.
The magnificent campaign of Lind
led US to believe that he had over
come the difficulty. But the ballots
tell a different tale. Not only in this
county but all over the Seventh dis.
trict there is large detection In the
Populists ranks. And a study of the
returns show that this has happened
among Populists that had come from
the Republican party. Take this
county for instance. We made large
gains In this village, Green Lake and
DOvre which shows that the Demo
Gratis and Prohibitiontsts stood Loyalty
by US. But in all old Republican
towns We lost Populfsts0 enough to
dump US with greatathud. It is the
same story all over the district. The
laboring vote seems; TO- have stood by
us all over the state But the label
Democratic seems to- hays scared The
Scandinavian farmers every where.

WHERE ARE WE AT,
Editor Representative.

Editor Representative.
Now that the battle is over, and lost.
1t Is time for us to get our stray
thoughts together, and make it clear
to ourselves where We are at. There
are great many Peoples Party men
who. since the St. Louis convention,
have felt like strangers in strange
land, and the results Of the election
have not made the situation more
clear. We don't want to play prophet;
but we feel sure that free silver" will
not be the only issue four years hence.
The Omaha platform with its land
and transportation planks caught a
great number of Greenbackers, So
cialists and other radical thinkers,
who before that document was adopt
ed, never took any interest in politics,
because they didn't think the game
worth the chase, as the phrase goes.
The increasing poverty and enforced
idleness which we must have for the
next four years as sure as effect fol-
lows cause, will compel the people to
study the ecomic questions, and the
effect will be seen in the platform Of
the party that will stand up against
the G. o. P. in 1900. We had the re-
formation, or We might as we'll call it
religious revolution, about 400 years
ago; it was not peaceable affair; the
thousand years that preceded it (the
dark age) did nothing for enlighten-
ing and educating the people; it had
only foStered the british instinct in
man, and appealed to his passions.
In the course OF time the church and
the state, by their combined press on
the mass Of the people brought forth
the revolution 100 years ago, and with
the exception of the Scandinavian
countries, it kept the nations Of
Europe on the war path for years; and
still with religious and political liber-
ty, we. are again confronted with con-
ditions. which like the Gordian knot,
it-seems impossible to unite. Here is
what Ella Wheeler Wilcox says Of the
situations:

the right to ask il this is the effect OF
the teachings of the Christian relig-

we act as tine followers II the meek

the children OF Israel dancing around
the golden calf; or can the worship
nerS of the silver calf console them
selves with the fact, that the present
ratio between gold and silver is 30 to
l, and thereby justify their action.

And here are a few more cases
showing how the gale Of prosperity is
turning into hurricane, and blowing
good many honest men out of wa
ter.
Menasha, Wis, Nov. 1O.-The Paul
Paper Mill company made an assign
ment today for the benefit Of credi-
tors. The assets are 100000, and liza
bilitieS half this amount. The con-
Germ lost heavily by Chicago and Min

the assignment.

Boston, Nov. l0.-The Bay State
Stock Company on Congress Square
this city, closed its doors today.
But there are evidences that some
pursuits are really going to enjoy the
reign Of good times. which the elec-
ton Of Mr.. Mckinley has inau-
gurated. Read the following item.
Chicago, Nov. 10-The Lumber
mems association has Advanced the
price from 81 cents to 81 thousand
feet. and say they may still 60 higher.
Lumber has been on a steady decline
since 1893. The dealers who boos ted
prices say they have only taken step
toward the prices they will ask be fore
next spring, II the tide of prosperity
continues.
1t will greatly encourage the farm
ers, and add to their wealth and
facilitate their Improvements, to have
to pay more for the lumber they will
buy. This Is prosperity for the lum-
'bermen, but what is it for the pur-
chaser?.
And there Is another great int rest
which will be famed by rising breezes
Of prosperlty-the unhappy owners OF
the coal mines, who have AlfeRdy put
up the price Of that necessary article
so high that In many SECTIONS people
are burning corn to avoid the pur-
chase II coal. They are about to be
bled by tho wicked railroad compah les
which carry their prod uoe to market
They will, Of course, have to put W
tho price Of tho coal to meet the In
creased price OF transportetipn, and
thus sensible men who voted. sfor
