New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-10-21

AS the campaign approaches close,
we feel like giving three cheers for Gov.
ernor John Lind OF New Ulm, Like the
great commoner, Bryan, in hs triumph.
al tour of the nation, Mr.. Lind has moved
over this great state and, almost single
handed, fought the battle Of the common
people. How well he has succeeded re-
mains to be seen, but everything gust
now points to his triumphant election
The people seem to have grown tired OF
the domination OF rings of land steals, ol
the corruption of public funds for the
private gain of horde of office-seekers,
of the prostitution of public position for
the furtherance of over-weening political
ambition, and the sacrifice of high pub
lie positions regardless of political in
tegrity and moral honor and they in
%end to have thorough cleaning out.
They are going to do it, too, by the e.
lection OF Honest John Linda man of
great ability, of strickest moral and po-
litical integrity, with thorough appre-
citation of the Importance and needs Of
this great state and above all with a
strong determination that Minnesota
needs governor who will give tone and
responsibility to the various departments
of administration and who will not al
low public affairs to be conducted at
the expense of the people and in behalf
of individual land sharks and corpora
tons. Mr.. LIND combines all of these
qualities and the people know it. For
many years they have re garded him as a
public official with sense of security
and take no stock whatever in the me-
tropolitian newspaper yarns that his e.
lection as governor will result In discred-
ting the state in the eyes of the nation.
Nobody, who has at his back such rep.
utation as Mr.. Lind has and IN addition
thereto the confidence of the people of
his own state, will ever prove detri-
ment to the commonwealth as it's chief
executive. No administration, that has
honesty and economy in the conduct of
public affairs as its greatest aim, can ev-
er bring on disaster. Mr.. Lind has al
together too broad conception of the
rights of great industries and great COM
mon carriers and their value to the peo-
pie, to ever prove a stumbling block in
the way of progress. He has al equally
broad conception of the rights Of the
people and will never permit oppression.
Equal justice to all-that is Mr.. Limbs
platform, and it is one that Is going to
make him the best governor that this
state has ever had.

the past two.
Christian Ahlness, who is making the
race for Judge Of probate, is one Of the
best known and onesof the most respec-
ted citizens Of the county. He is max.
ing an honorable campaign, and the peo-

that If he is elected he will give to the
Office the benefit Of good judgement,wid
knowledge and thorough integrity. He
has demonstrated this on previous occa.

the Office Of treasurer and to all appear

a candidate could desire, Should this
prove true, Brown county will have no
reason to regret the action of majority
of its citizens. 49,. :.
A. G.. Matter the candidate for sheriff,
is young man and one in every way
qualified to undertake the responsible
duties of the Office. He has an excellent
reputation in the community in which
lie resides, is steady IN his habits, court
eous in his treatment Of others, and on
the whole man whom we can cheerful
~ recommend to others. 2s -
The office of surveyor of course is not
an overly important one, but at the same
time it requires experience. The COM
bined forces have nominated man who
possesses this qualification and the vot.
ers will make no mistake if they cast
their ballots for Julius Berndt. -
DR.. Rothenburg has no opposition IN
his race for the Office Of coroner and of
Course will be unanimously elected.
The candidates for commissioners are
all able men, two of them having been
tried for the past four years. The new
candidate, Peter Manderfeld, Is one who
should he elected by all means. He is
by all odds best fitted to succeed .Mr.
Koch. The people of the first district
should not ferget this.

1t may be for the big borrowers; but
for the man who loans money on farm
the interest rates haven't deprecated
much and it requires twice as much of
everything else now to buy the money
with which to pay the interest as it did
in 1873. Now tell US, will you, who has
suffered.

Business is just waiting for the people
to. say by their votes that they wan.
sound money and q stable currency. Min
neapolis Journal.
Business isn't doing anything Of the
kind. When the farmer gets such prices
for his products that he can afford to buy
more of the comforts of life than he alb
solutely needs, then, and not till then,
will business revive. The merchant in
the country town is not waiting for such
an invisible thing as confidence in sta
bic money standard to coax him into
selling his goods. On the contrary, just
let the streets of his city fill up with
farmers who want to exchange money
for what he has to dispose Of and see
how quick he sells it.. This confidence
business then becomes myth. If he
can only get rid OF the stuff on his shelves
and collect the price therefore, he is on
ly too willing to do it. He then tackles
the jobber for move Of the same stuff and
the jobber in turn tackles the manufac-
turer. Thus the wheels turn, the spin
dies are active and laborers are given
employment. That's the solution of the
whole business. Confidence in the out
come of the election has but very little
to do with it. People won't buy when
they haven't got anything to buy with,
and manufacturers won't run their shops
when the merchants cannot sell and are
therefore unable to buy. -

open the mills Of the United States to
the labor Of America than to open the
m1nts. Candidate Mckinley.
Wrong again, Mr.. Would -Presi-
dent. Open up yonr mills, and what
have you got? The merchants ont west
here, the medium through which the
mills expect to get rid Of their products,
haven't any prospect Of disposing Of
these goods and consequently refuse to
| buy. The mills cannot run for the Ia
borers alone, and must therefore shut
! down. Orders for big bills from coun-
| try merchants anda prospect Of their
being paid that's what keeps the mills
going, and no one knows it any bet
ter than Mckinley himself. No one knows
any better than he, too, tha4 you cannot
have such condition with a continually
declining market for everything that the
farmer has to raise. The trouble is not
with the tariff, it is plain, for our i'm
portatlons have not increased since the
repeal of the famous Mckinley bill, and
if Mr.. Mckinley will only be himself
again and start at the other end he will
find ready solution for the existing
evil. Open the minis; add new money
the life blood of business-to our gen
eral circulation; turn the tidefro TALL
ing to rising market; and all will be
we'll. The mills will then open of them
selves, whether Mckinley is elected or
not.

An Almost Fatal Shot,


Yesterday afternoon, Manuel Martinez,
who had been working with some sheep
shearers at Piedra Lumbre, about five
miles southeast of this city, drew his pay
and left the pens. AS he was passing over a
hill about 200 yards away, he fred his
pistol, according to his tale, at a rabbit,
but the ball landed in the midst
OF the forty sheep shearers and
struck Senovio Saiz in the neck,
fortunately, hewever, striking no vital
part. Martinez, when first captured, de-
MED that he had fired a shot, but after.
wards admitted that he shot at a rabbit,
not intending to shoot into the crowd. He
was brought to this city and lodged in Jail,
to await an examination, which will take
place mex Monday.

THAT TARIFF PLANK.
The Democratic Sheet At Santa Pc SIN Impos
Ing on unsuspecting Readers.

The Las Vegas OPTIC has been caught
and cornered In a rapk effort to commit
fraud, and, naturally. IL becomes abusive
aud personal. The OPrIc deliberately mis-
quotes the tariff plank ot the democratic
platform. Again WI ask; Will The OPTIc
be fair enough to make the correctioni
Dare The OPTIc be honesti-New Mer-
lean.
The tenacity with which the New Meri-
can holds to an untruth Is truly admirable,
even II the principle Of the thing Is nause-
ating. II carries on the third page OF the
paper a platform, not the one adopted by
the democratic convention at Chicago, but
one which was sent out presumably to sat
isfy those farmers and stock-raisers who
desire some protection on their products,
aud perhaps knowing that there are many
democratic organs, such as the Neto Meri.
can, which would gladly deceive the people
for the sake Of a few votes.
In order to verify The OPTIc's intsrpre-
tation oEtbe democratic platform, n re-
porter called on f. A. Manzanares, who
had just returned from Chicago, and who
attended every session Of the recent con-
ventIon in that city. He stated that the
platform did not declare for a protective
tariff, of any sort, and that the clause In
the platform running in the Neto Mexican,
speaking of tariff on raw materials Of the
south and west, including wool, hides,
sheep, cattle, and other live stock interests,
was not embodied In the platform finally
adopted by the democratic convention at
Chicago.
Again, we ask; Will the Neio Me1tcdn

Dare the New Mericdn be honest?

Bicycle support Patented.

Earnest W. Gram, an industrious and in
genious Las Vegas carpenter, who is at
present visiting the Hopewell gold min
ing camp, over in Rio Arriba county, will
soon receive letters patent on a bicycle
support, which is certain to make him q
rich man, as the appliance will at once
come into general use, and the price of 1t
will be within the reach Of all. Another
deserving citizen OF Las Vegas win profit
by this invention, as he has a half interest
in the patent.

freight cars in service equipped In this

to the company shops.
The question Of the handling by the rail-.
roads OF what 10 known as railroad mail p
upon which the government has not been
receiving any postage, Is assuming serious
proportions. The magnitude of the ex-
pense involved, should the law be carried
out literally, was at first lost sight OF by
many Of the officials, but after the general
attorneys OF the different lines were con-
suited by the officials In charge Of opera
tions, 1t was found that the position taken
by the postmaster general was sustained
by the law Of the land, and the only thing
that the railroads could do In the premises
was to plead for mercy.
