Nils r. Haugen and Others Visit the Presi-
go. dent-Elect.

Ex-Congressman Nils p. Haugen of
River Falls, Wis, and Mr.. Grevstad,
editor of The Scandinavian, made, on
behalf of the Scandinavians, a strong
plea in favor of the recognition of ex-
Gov, Hoard of Wisconsin by his APP
pointment to the cabinet as Secretary
OF Agriculture. Mr.. Haugen is one of
the most widely acquainted and force
tul men of his race in the country, and
he presented with uncommon vigor and
earnestness what he considered to be
the claims of Mr.. Hoard for consider
alton in connection with the cabinet
appointment. He said that Mr.. Hoard
was a practical farmer, and at the
same time public man of tried ability,
who for many years has enjoyed the
confidence and respect of not only the
great agricultural classes Of the West
and Northwest, but the unwavering
support and personal admiration of
the Scandinavians and other foreign
born citizens.
Gov Hoard, said Mr.. Haugen,
twas an excellent executive He pos
sesses a large share of administrative
ability, and was a useful and success
full public officer. The people like
him, trust him, and respect him.
In addition to all this, he is
practical farmer. He understands
the theory and the practice of agri-
culture, and has no equal as lecturer
on topics that touch upon farming and
farm life. So far as | can see, there
is no one else in view who is so adj
mirably qualified for the place of Sec
rotary of Agriculture as Mr.. Hoard.
Many of the politicians in Wisconsin
are opposed'to him, but on the other
hand, the people want him, and he has
large and important following"

Hoard has the backing of the farm
ers and common people Of his party,
as we'll as the endorsement of many
democrats from the fact that he would
make a good man for the position. -

ern saws that Senator Nelson Is ''ikely" to be
secretary of agriculture. Possibly. But the
Northwestern speaks with contempt of the
department which represents the industries
of the farming community, whereas nearly
all others, speaking directly or indirectly,
think that il ought to be sustained. A dai-
ryman estimates that the dairy industry
alone brings in yearly between 500 and 600
millions dollars. This industry alone makes
il important that the right man be appointed

poriionatelv small expense, increase farm
products enormously. For example, in the
past year we could have sold many million
dollars worth more of butter and cheese to
foreign nations if Secretary Morton had un-
dertaken. in the interests of the daiymen, 10
ship butter 10 London under the superintend-
ence of a special agent. Instead of this he
sent out Bulletins and saved the expendi-
ture. The only thing that can be said OF
Mr.. Morton is that he attempted to abolish
the -- humbug. When Knute Nelson
was governor Of Minnesota, he was interested
for the dairymen, but 1 believe that ~ Gov.
Hoard is a much better man for the position
of secretary of agriculture. Therefore,
take the liberty to ask the Nordlyset and all
of its readers, who have political influence,
TO spprise Major Mckinley that by the APP
pointment e Mr.. Hoard, ne will not only
win the approval Of all Republican farmers
but also Of the farmers of all parties. The
next secretary of agriculture should not only
be a Republican, but man VINO IS judge
of, and is in sympathy with agricultural la
terests. The prosperity of the agricultural
interests will rest on his shoulders. If the

PAPER.

One of our exchanges describes the
man who could not afford to take his
home paper as follows: By getting
hold of a foreign advertising sheet he
spent 81 writing to find out how to
keep sober, the answer being to take a
pledge. He also sent fifty 2 cent stamps
to find out how to raise turnips and re
ceived a postal card reply; Take hold
of the tops and pull" It was the same
person that sent 80 cents to q fellow in
the East for twelve useful household
articles and received q package of
needles. He is q near relative to the
man who sent 81 to find out how to

FROM A VETERAN PoPULIsr.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
I wish to thank some one for three
recent issus of your valuable paper in
which are marked three articles on
Political Chaos" by Samuel Archer,
Of Mica, n. Q. He is an odd veteran"
in our work, sad these articles evince a
steady aim and every shot counts. He
seems to get behind the curtains on
our stage of political action.
I5 is cheering and very encouraging
the way he rubs and Furnishes up the
original principles Of onr platforms
They are made to put on new lustre
and shine with new light. Ode Of the
best things he says is that the Oma-
ha platform enunciRted new princi
pies in the several departments of
our political government, and not
merely a little change of politics on
old principles. Hundreds Of thou.
sands Of people voting in the old
parties do not know this although that
document has been before the public
o more than Ave years. After read
ing the three articles I went to work
on the old platform and gave # the
benefit Of q half days thinking. 7 was
surprised at the result. I wish everv
PopuIist would do this. There is not
a particle of anarchy or communism
about it; but il is an evolution of great
and grand principles.
Mr.. Archer presents arguments set
ting forth this fact in the clearest and
best form I have yet seen. They ar'
go plain that he who runs may read
and he who digs coal or raises corn Of

This man evidently has q sensible
wife. He has just refused to subscribe
for THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER ard che is
now giving him q lesson which, let US
hope, will do him good. She says he
deserves a few ticks, and not love ticks,
either. Betsy BiIkins says: Any North
Carolina farmer who won't pay 81 for
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER until Jan.
1, 1899, ought TO have the same dose.
By needing the suggestions contained
in the paper, he can make and save
many more dollars. His plow will run
more easily and he'll never have to say
he is not posted. He will have fun and
the news. At night or at noon, at any
time when home from the field, he can
drive dull a r away by a CHEEKY talk
with Zske and Betsy, or turn to the
third page and read the news from the
four corners OF the earth, or laugh with
a thousand others at our jokes and
anecdotes. or read unprejudiced edi.
torials upon the leading events of the
week, or again, by perusing our farm
articles "a save money en- ugh TO pay
for the paper for years ahead.
And if he doesn't know that these
things will be worth many times one
dollar to him between now and Jan. 1,
1899, then his wife ought to be the man
ager of the farm and she very probably
is, if it. has a manager. In this case,
We ask her to subscribe.

80OpSS0 -

WHEREAS, The Declaration of Inde5
nendence. as q basis for q Republican
form of Government that might be

''That all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with certain II
alienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit OF happl-
ness; that to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
governed"
We hold, therefore, that to restore
and preserve these rights under q
Republican form of government, pri=
vate monopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether OF
the means of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes a monopoly IN private
hands, the people of the municipality,
state or union, as the case may be,
shall appropriate the same by right OF
eminent domain, paying a just value
therefor, and operate them for, and In
the interest of, the whole people.
FINANCE.
We demand q national currency,
safe, sound and flexible; issued by the
general government only; a full legal
tender for all debts and receivable for
all dues, and an equitable and efficient
q of distribution of this currency,
directly to the people. at the minimum
of expense and without the interven-
ton of banking corporations and in
sufficient volume to transact b busl-
ness Of the country on q cash basis.
(u) We demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
O) We demand q graduated income

troll all rates of transportation on q
just and equitable basis.
6) The telegraph and telephone,
like the postof1ce system. being a ne.
cessity for the transmission of intelli
gence, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest of

We demand that no land shall be
held by corporations for speculative
purposes or by railroads in excess of
their needs as carriers, and all lands
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.
