FL. G.. MaXfeld, a former Mankato
boy, has arrived. 1t is neat and
newsy, and announces that it will be
independent in politics, and will
work for those candidates who will
work for the best Interests of their
constituents. Among it's news items,
it says that M. r. Everett, of Water

DEMOCRATIC MiSREPRESENTA
TON

The Democrats of Massachusetts in
their platform state that during the
first Cleveland administration there
was accumulated in the federal treas
ury surplus of over $500, 900, 900, and
that this was turned over to the Har-
rison administration in 1889 and
squandered through RECKLESS eX-
penditures," and that when the
Democracy came into power in 1893
they found an empty treasury, want
of confidence" everywhere. Rarely is
a statement so mixed up with political
dishonesty, designed to convey an
idea different from that which &C
tually existed. In the first place when
Mr.. Cleveland assumed the presidency
in 1885, there was something of sur
plus on hand, and the revenues were
such that it kept constantly increas-
ing. But this was not due to any in
fiuence of Mr.. Cleveland or his admin
istration, but simply the result of Re-
publican legislation, and the existence
of Republican senate prevented the
Democrats from inaugurating policy
which would have proved as disas-
trous at that time as it has since.
What did the Cleveland administra-
tion do with this surplus? Nothing,
simply let it pile up in the treasury.
taking large slice of the peoples
money out of circulation every month
and making no move of any kind to
restore it to the money channels Of
the country. Such was the condition
when the Harrison administration as
sumed control And how did it pro-
coed to ''squander" this large surplus,
which was then about S15O.OOO, 900 in
excess of the reserve set aside to re-
deem the government outstanding
notes. 1t bought bonds, and Cancelled
them, so reducing the nations indebt-
edness, and during the Harrison ad-
ministration 1926, 100000 was "squand-
cred" in that way. Any business man
will approve of squandering money in
way that will reduce his indebted
Less. These are facts which can be
easily ascertained, but of course they
do not want to tell things as they are,
because it makes the 1855. 100000 in
creased bonded Indebtedness of Glove
lands second administration, and
which will cost at least half billion
before it Is paid, loom up in bad
shape in contrast. The treasury was
not bankrupt, nor confidence shaken
when the Democrats assumed control
but confidence was shaken immediate.
ly when Democracy commenced tC
talk free trade. That was the one
thing that precipitated the whole
trouble, and placed the whole country
in waiting position to see what they
would do. Possibly the Democratic
leaders think they can work another
campaign of Misrepresentation, but
the people are onto their game this
year, and such perversion of facts will
do them no good

A NOrlINAL CHANGE.
"Geo. e. Brett Incorporated" is
Now the Popular Firms Title.

Articles of incorporation have
been filed with the secretary of state
by Geo. E. Brett (incorporated). This
incorporation is to date from May 4th,
1896, and continue for twenty years.
The capital stock is $4,000, paid up,
and divided into shares of 800 each.
The limit of Indebtedness of the COM
pany is $4,000. The incorporators are
Geo. e Brett, Lizzie E. Brett, James
E. Brett and Edmund Rausch.
This change has been in contem-
plation for some time. Mr.. Rausch
has been in Mr.. Brett's employ for the
past seventeen years, and Ed. Brett
has now reached his majority, and
Mr.. Brett thought that it was right
that they should be given an interest
in the business. There will be no
change in the management of the
store, and probably none in the force
of clerks.
Mr.. Brett began business in Manka-
to in 1868, and soon after formed
partnership with j. III. Walker and S.
@. Soule, which continued for four
years under the firm name of Brett,
Walker & Soule. Since the dissolu-
tion of that partnership, Mr.. Brett
has been in business alone, and during
this time has built up a splendid
trade, his store today having a repu-
tation second to none in the state.
The friends of all concerned will
be pleased at the formation of a
stock company, and will wish it sue
cess.
