business interests of Boston. Chicago.
Cincinnati and St. Louis. made the reas-
suring statement in Washington that they
reported better business feeling than
had been noted for some time. which they
regarded as fOrerunner of permanent
improvement. 1t is worthy of note that
they reflect the common judgment of bus-

spread that they are fairly symptomatic
of the pulse of general trade. Nor on

Most Encouraging for Years.

In broad way last week was one of
the most encouraging in business circles
that this country has experienced for sew
rral years The general outburst of con-
iidence in financial circles was reflected
in the course of the stock markets. which
were hnllish from start to finish. The
reassurins uttcrances of the Presiden.
and the leading members of his cabinet
produced very favorable impressions:
hut beyond that it WAS seen tina. number
of encouraging factors were in evidence.
1t was perceived that the price of iron
had gone up: that railroad earnings We're
increasing: that money was in amr.c sup
ply for all legitimate purposes: that the
gold exports had dwindletl to n mere moth
ing and that the prospects of 4 speedy en-
actment cf the tariff hill wore daily grow
ing brighter. This induced a huoyant

Goo, Prophets i, the Northwest.

In Minnesota and other States of the
Northwest the spring opens with tho
promise cf abundant crops. especially of
our leading staple. wheat. And in spite
of the low prices now prevailing there is
every ground. as shown elsewhere. for
believing that our farmers will realize
fairly good prices for their crops. This
viii almost certainly stimulate the ac-
t!vi:y of trade and industry in the cities.
SO that hy next fall. with the aid of the
new tariff it is pretty safe to Anticipate
restoration of wholesome business CON
titions. Minnesota. therefore. is in full
sympathy with the cheerful prognosti-
rations of Mr.. Gage.-S.. Paul Pioneer

Export Bounty on Farm Products.

Export Bounty on Farm Products.
The proposition for bounty on stap.e
agricultural. exports is not new subject.
1t is departure from the protective pol
icy. 1t has heen considered for some
years by the farmers. especially by the
members of the National Grange. where
it has been fully discussed! but not yet
indorsed by IL majority of that body. Some
of the propositions seen to be favorable
hut it is doubtful whether the giving of n
bounty on agricultural products would be
beneficial to the farmer. There might be
some temporary benefits. but if it stilnu-
lated production the effect would be dis
astrous to the farmer. What troubles the
farmer row and makes low prices for his
productions is the fact that lie is now
producing more than the M. -i.et will read
i!y absorb of certain commodities. So
long as he continues to do this he must
he content With low prices. II this boun-
ty should stimulate the production and
increase the surplus offered in the mar
kets of the world. it would have the eff
feet of decreasing the price received by
the farmer rather than increasing it. As
l said. it is departure from the policy
of those who believe III protection. The
protective policy advocates the encour-
aseinent of production in those lines
where we are now not producing enough
to supply our own people. but are depend
ent TO an extent on foreign countries for
our supply. This proposition does not
have such purpose. 1t proposes simply
to donate ia the farmer certain bountes
on products exported. ard it is doubtful
whether it would at the most have more
than temporary beneficial effect. with
tendency to bad reactionary results

some Frec silver outcasts.

Some individuals. who bolted the Re-
publican party last year and voted for
Bryan. he'd meeting in this city and
organized what they call "Thc> Silver Re-
publican Party of the United States.
For some reason they do not care to join
the Populists or the free silver Demo-
Gratis. They seem to think they will have
q hetter chance of picking up Offices if
they have a distinct organization.
These boilers cannot he prevented from
forming new party. but in doing SO they
ought to state clearly to the public what
its principles are and what reason there
is for its existence. That has not been
done. EX-C0rgressman Towne declares
that
This is movement that has taken
deep root. and will grow until the restora-
tion of silver to an equality with gold has
been accomplished"
What is this equality that Towne and
his associates arc going to devote the
rest of their lives to securing? Does he
intend TO say that the time vii! come
again when sixteen ounces of silver will
exchange everywhere for one of gold?
Towne should look the facts in the
face. The price of silver. which was 130
cents an ounce in 1870. is go cents now.
In spite of the low price the silver miners
of the United States put 56000.00O
ounces IN the market last year and made
money at the business.
The demand for silver by silver stand
ard countries is decreasing because the
number of those countries is diminishing.
Japan. the most progressive of Asiatic
nations. with population of 100000.
has adopted the worlds gold standard.
Peru and Bolivia. though silvcr-producing
countries. are preparing to do so
Does Townc really believe that his lit
tie movement" will he able to raise the
purchasing power of 371 grains of silver
until it becomes cqua! once more to the
purchasing power of twenty-thrce grains
of gold? 1t is difficult to believe that any
intelligent man who knows what the
present silver production of the world is,
and how much more cheaply it is pro-
duced than of old. really imagines any
