Many persons seem to be of the
opinion that premium of 1876 in the
City of Mexico on gold signifies that
1876 cents in silver are equal to 100
cents in gold. The meaning is that
two dollars and thirty five cents in
silver equal a gold dollar. This is
what the silver standard does for Mex
leo. We hear of the sudden rise of
goods in Mexico, but not a rise of
wages.

Now that our Marshall Populist
newspaper friend has been here and
inspected the field with the expecta-
ton of getting away from the domains
of Bro. Case of the Marshall Reporter
we look forward to a visit from the
Grove statesman, the Hon. j. News
Byington, with great deal of pleasure.
We presume that Bro. Scribner can
clutch the blood red dragons of Wall
and Lombard streets with more i'm
aginary grasp than the Hon. J. News
Byington, yet we are of the opinion
that the latter, being closer to the
whiskers of Your Uncle Jim and the
Doughty Mexican mustache of your
Uncle 10, will have great deal
more pressure brought upon him to
move to this Gibraltar Of Wall and
Lombard street politics than did our
Marshall friend. OTrue it is, that the
Hon. John Arnett is for the Marshall
man, and is. struggling hard for his
removal here, but as Your Uncle 10
often says,a 'The Hon. John Arnett is
not the whole show by jugful," and
naturally this clever ward political
manipulation is likely to be set down
on.
The Hon. John Arnett libels the
Hon. J. News by saying that there is
not enough fire in the old man; that
he lacks certain amount of. robust
bo'shommie spirit; that he doesn't take
kindly to spirits and that he wouldn't
be able to place his paper on a founda-
ton where it would be the only paper
in Redwood Falls. The Hon. John is
also of the opinion that the Grove man
would be unable to pack primaries,
or have seven or eight men in his en-
ploy for voting purposes just about
primary and election time. But the
we'll and ditch man isn't onxito the
Grove statesman's curves. He hasn't
read his fiery editorials, wherein the
Grove man, by q professional base
ball curve sends his words deceptively
forward only to lodge square in the
throat of the dragons. He hasn't OBJ
served him on the stump or in the
field of politics enough to see his good
qualities as a. fit head for an anti
dragon paper in Redwood Falls. No.
The eyes of the Hon. John Arnett
have been dim to all these qualifca-
tons. He hasn't observed the run of
the Grove man last fall, when he came
within 1000 votes of being register of
deeds of Redwood county, but he
probably did observe that the Hon. J.
News didn't give down any or great
deal of the sinews of war.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Hon. John Arnettis plugging" for
the Marshall man we are of the opin-
ion the pressure of Uncle 10 and Uncle
Jim, with their allies, will prevail, and
that when the Hon. J. News comes to
Redwood Falls the fatted calf will be
killed, the distilleries will be thrown
wide open, and there will be one of the
hottest times the old town has ever

1t is a great thing for this country,
now that there is an existing gold
standard of value, that while we have
an abundance of silver, $521 ,OOO,O in
the Treasury, we have SO limited it,
that we have the use of both money
metals without fear of the deprecia-
ton of either.

We have several times Of late referred
to the largely increased shipments Of
grain from Southern ports. and the cor
responding falling off at the Northern
ports. We have given the figures from
Baltimore and Newport News and we
learn that the gain at Galveston for the
year was 100000 bushels. 1hne the gain
for New Orleans was 100000 bushels.
or more than hundred per cent.
The New York Herald admits that tho
Southern ports have the advantage. and
the Philadelphia Times in reviewing the
situation says:
The railway line that can place grain at
the seaboard with a haul OF 1000 miles
can do il cheaper than another line that
must carry II 1900 miles and within its
own territory will command the business
in spite Of all efforts to divert it to
more distant port.
The Improvement Of gulf harbors and
the multiplication Of railway lines with a
gulf terminus means that the grain within
a certain radius from these ports will be
exported therefrom Formerly the bulk OF
this grain was exported from New York,
but IL will never be again. Appeals TO
the interstate commerce commission VIII
DO in vain, for the geography OF the
country has decided in favor of the near
est ports. and from this there can be
no appeal that vii avail.
The Northern people must look to their
laurels. They ridiculed the idea that the
South could make iron and cotton goods
cheaper and better than they could be
made at the North. but they have found
out that they were in error. and since
the discovery was made Northern factor
les have been moving into Southern terri
tory.
The South has many advantager. ano
the fact that the grain trade has turned
this way opens the eyes Of the industrial
world to other possibilities.

A Northern preacher has recently been
drawing some lessons from the training
through which prize-Gghters go in pre-
pairing for the contest. There is at least
this lesson, the lesson Of self-control. 1t
IS good health and good morals to keep
the appetltes and the passions always in
check. The season Of Lent is an institu-
ton Of usefulness apart from its religious
significance. self-denial IS necessary to
physical. mental and moral development.
denial means liberty. for there is no
slave like the man who IS a slave to his
appetitcs
When the mental AMI moral nature
are made suhseryient 20 the flesh, then
man becomes brute, for all our appetites
we have in common with the brute croa-
ton. It IS tie mind and spirit that dif-
ferentiate us. It bohooves us. therefore.

WHY THE TREATY

The Richmond Times, in a brief edi-
torial, entitled The Treaty Assassl-
mated" declares that the Senate has
not been frank and abOve-bOard i'm
dealing with this subject; and that with
the exception Of Major Daniel the oppO-
sition has. under the disguise of friend
ly feeling for the principle of arbitration
fastened upon the measure first one and
then another amendment, until the whole
substance OF the treaty has been elimi-
mated. until now lit IS a mockery TO ask
Great Britain TO accept it, with all these
amendment strings TO IL. The Times Is
right in its statement that Major Daniel
"has always fought in the OPEN But it is
wrong. we think, in its declaration that
while the senators who have supported the
amendments express themselves favor
able TO the principle Of arbitration, they
are not willing TO commit themselves TO
putting the principle into ractice: and
that 1t is a very poor principle, forsooth,
that will not commit itself 10 practice"
The Times is labOring under grave
mistake in this matter. A senator may
be heartily in favor Of arbtrating every
question OF difference between this coun-
try and England which is at all suscept-
die Of arbitration, and yet unwilling to
tie the hands of the Senate for five years
In advance so that IL shah have no
say-so whatever upon the vital ques-
ton whether the subject Of dispute IS
suitable one to submit to arbitration
Lynchburg News.
May be so. But our criticism is that
some OF those who have taken this view
are at heart opposed to making a treaty
with England. We cannot but believe
that the amendments are tackled on, not
so much 10 protect the United States as to
emasculate the treaty in such way as
TO force Great Britain to reject It, These
senators are not willing to 30 on record
as opposing arbitration, especially since
the overtures came from this country.
But IL England can be made to decline
with thanks the eviscerated document,
that is Engand's affair, and the burden
is on that country. and not on the sena-
tors who believe 50 sincerely in "the prin-
ciple Of arbitration
The opposition has come from several
elements. In the first list we find Sena-
tor Daniel, who is honestly opposed TO the
text OF the treaty. ana he has made. as we
have said. an open fight. Then there are
Rcublicans who are Indifferent 10 a meas
ure which may reflect lustre on the late
Democratic administration. Again there
are Democrats who are opposed on gen.
eral principles to any measure emanating
from MIR. Cleveland and his Secretary OF
State And last there are Populists and
other Snverites who hate England and
all that concerns her. because they hold
her responsible for the gold standard.
our contention is that II 1t had not been
for this sort Of extraneous opposition,
the treaty would have gone through prac-
ticaliy as It was agreed upon between
Secretary Olney and the representative OF
Her Majesty. tho Queen. Hence We say
It was assassinated.

pabie OF carrying the country. that their
discomfort. instead OF decreasing. was
going TO be on the increase. and the
world naturally, therefore, concluded that
our troubles were far from being ended.
That Is tho reason we recover so slowly
from the panic Of 1898. 1T was caused by
the general breakdown Of confidence that
free silver brought on. and the world can
not yet see that the Republican party has
the slightest idea Of taking any steps to
remove the general and just discomfort Of
the agrlculturalists.
When the Republican party recognizes
the actual case, that our troubles grow
out OF the fact that the farmers have no
media Of exchange. and that they never
can have any until each State is authoriz-
ed 20 provide a currency that will stay
in that State. because 1t Is not wanted
elsewhere. we shall begin TO see the
breaking Of day. But our troubles will
never end until this prime and underly-
ing fact IS recognized as fact.
We have. on more than one occasion.
called attention TO the following fact, but
attention cannot be called to It too often.
We hear every fall of New York sending
large quantities OF money to the South to
move the cotton. and to tho West 10
move the grain and the meat. Why does
not one sending of this money to those
places do? Why does It not stay there
when once II is there? II has TO be sent
back to the South and West each fan.
which proves that as soon as it has per-
formed its mission Of moving the crops,
It goes right back to New York. why
is this? 1t IS because all our money IS
national money. good at its face all over
the Union; that New York wants it all.
and that she bids for it and takes it,
And so it will be with any money what
ever, VIC may have. that has the national
credit at its back. 1T Will be good at its
face all over the Union, and the CONNER
cial centres viii certainly take it all. The
farmers can never have a money that
will answer their purposes until they are
allowed to put out local paper circula-
ton, redeemable always on demand in
gold coin. This Will stay with them. be-
cause New York Will .,now nothing OF :he
solvency Of the banks that issue it. and
she will not. therefore, have It.
