New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-07-28

Perhaps not, but surely no one would
lay it up to Clough.
1t is grossly unfair to make the poor
pay as much per capita as the rich to-
ward the support of the government.
Property is protected by our laws, and
should pay for its protection.-Gov.
Pingree in his letter to President McKiD-
ley anent the tariff bill.
After wrestling with three tariff bills
since 1890 this county will be excused
if it eschews the subject for the next one
hundred years.-O rtonville Herald Star.
"No question is ever settled until it is
settled r,ght."j The Dingley bill fails
to settle it rig ht. s !. =
The senate passed the Dingley tariff
bill on Saturday by vote of 40 to 80,
and with the addition of the presidents
signature it became the law of the land
within few hours after. The measure
will never prove popular, but it's case
OF the people getting all that they asked
for. Perhaps next time they will think
before they speak. t%z. -
In making his committee assignments
on Saturday Speaker Reed disposed of
the Minnesota members as follows:
Heatwole on Foreign Affairs, McCleary
on Banking and Currency and Labor,
Stevens on Public Lands. Eddy on Pub
lie Lands and Indian Affairs, Fletcher
on Territories and Morris on Rivers and
Harbors. Tawney, it seems, failed to
secure single important assignment.
Next to a return of prosperity the
most dreadful thing that could happen
to Bryan and his party would be an in
ternational agreement for bimetallism.-
Brainerd Tribune.
Well, if Bryan has nothing to fear but
the return of prosperity and the adop-
ZION of international bimetallism, his t.
tie to. the presidency three years hence
is reasonably clear. Neither of the above
conditions have assumed anything like
definite form, except in the imagination
Of a few.
Senator Hanna announces that he is
very much IN favor of the arbitration OF
the present coal strike, and complains
bitterly that none of the labor leaders
have approached him to secure his inau-
ence to bring that end about.-St. Louis
Times.
A little more arbitration before
the strike commenced, little more JUS
tice on the part Of the employer towards
employe at all times, little more will
lingness to give man his rights without
forcing him to fight for it, and the pres
ent trouble in which Mr.. Hanna now
finds himself would not have occurred.
From men who neglect to accord ser
wants these slight considerations, strik-
ers can expect but little.
A telegram to the Sunday Mlnneapo-
lis Times from Chicago announces a
program among capitalists which is to
result in the most stupendous financial
scheme ofthe age. It says:
