proposed. 1t is called the Minneapolis,
Mile Laos &. Rainy Lake railroad; and
its projectors, propose. to raise most Of

to the possibilities Of the: Mile. Laos

that that section will secure road be-

The Isanti Cooperative Mercantile

general merchandise business some
thing on the plan of the old-fashioned
Grange supply houses, but which was
forced finally to throw up the sponge,
has had a long siege Of lawsuits. The
company was finally victorious in the
supreme court which handed down a
decision last Saturday stating that the
firm was corporation and not part
nership, thus limiting the liability of
each member of the firm. ,..=~. -.

Mr.. Henry Wallace of Des Moines,
Iowa, delivered an able and instruc-
tive address before a beet sugar con-
vention at New Ulm last week. He
puts the question to the farmers in this
way: why grow so bushels of corn
to the acre and sell it at 20 cents per
bushel, when you can grow from 10 to
20 tons of sugar beets to the acre and
sell 1t at from 81 to S. per ton?"
Fifty bushels of cor at 20 cents
aggregates $40. ten tons of beets at 81
aggregates S40-and twenty tons OF
beets at S. would bring 500 per acre
gross. III the possibilities of profit from
beet culture are even as good a. the
lowest aggregate named, 1t would not
take much to induce u northwestern
farmers to turn from corn and wheat
growing to sugar beet culture. All
the inducement they would need would
be the guarantee of a steady market
for the beets.
Could a steady market be insured If
a large percentage Of our farmers were
TO engage in beet culture? On this
head Mr.. Wallace presents some facts
and figures that are very striking. He
says there is practically unlimited mar
ket in this country for sugar. Accord
ing to official statistics our people have
consumed during the past three years
an average OF nearly 65 pounds OF sugar
per head. To supply this demand We
have imported during the last four
years an average OF 1,672,613 o. of
sugar, and TO pay for this sugar re-
Quires about our total export of wheat

Ma Rea, Democratic Gains.

Mayor-elect Harrison of Chicago,
spells the beautiful theory which Dem
ocratic shriekers were spreading
broadcast that the municipal elections
were a hopeful sign of restoration for
the Democracy. He admits that the
success was purely upon the question
of municipal reform and that national
questions did not enter into the cam
paign. Investigation of the conditions
attending Democratic success In other
cities show that this was the case gen
orally. In not a single n of the
municipal elections did national issues
cut any figure. while in the state cleo
ton Of Rhode Island, where national
issues were at the front, the Republi-
cans increased their vote 20 per cent
over that which they gave to William
Mckinley in 1895.

encamped there a monolith OF the I'm
peror, Asoka. was noticed standing ten
feet above the ground. On 1t was q
pils@m's inscription OF the ninth
century. which led the expedition to
dig around the stones TO a depth Of
fourteen feet, when an inscription OF
the emperor was found. He states that
in the twelfth year OF his reign (about
239 B. CD he had erected this column
on the very spot where Lord Buddah
was born. Eighteen miles northwest OF
the column the expedition cam upon
great ruins OF stupas, ~monasteries, and
palaces covered with forest and
stretching for five miles to the Ban
ganga river, the circumference being
about seven miles. This is the site OF
K~apilavastu, the capital of Buddha's
father, and will undoubtedly yield in
scriptions earlier than those OF Asoka.

A very careful and q thoroughly in
formed writer on finance has thrown
down a gauntlet which Mr.. Worthing-
ton c. Ford, chief Of the bureau Of sta
tistics in the treasury department DUR
ing President Cleveland's term Of Of
flee, must pick up, OF confess himself
to be discredited. Mr.. Ford has stated
officially that the exports of American
manufactures for the calendar year
1896 amounted to $3.50, &c.. sos, and
thereupon the Democrats have assert
ed the Wilson tariff to be the most ben
efcial of measures, acting directly to-
ward enlargement of our foreign
mand for home labor in the manufac-
ture Of the articles exported.
1t may be said in passing that if the
free trade statement, Tariff is a tax
added to the price OF the thing upon
which duty Is paid" be true. then the
wages paid for the manufacture of ar
ticles Of export must be lower than
those paid for articles manufactured
for home use. For such exports must
compete with the "untaxed manufac-
lures" of foreign countries.
But the gentleman who, under the
signature of "Statistician," occupied
nearly two columns of the Inter Ocean

and boldly denies the accuracy of Mr..
Ford's figures, and in great detail sets
forth the name and value of every class
