UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE.

UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE.
Yesterday-Thursday, March 4
the reign of the gold standard demo-
cratic executive ended and a gold
standard republican stepped into
the presidential shoes. There IS
practically no change in the ad-
ministration of public affairs so far
as vital questions are concerned
and the American people need ex-
pect but little change in general
conditions. A gold standard
republican is nc betteE than a gold
standard democrat. They are
both contr .ctionists Just the
same, call them by what political
party name you please. The gold
standard has never bred and can
neve breed anything but priva-
ton and Hardship to the common
people. That is it's history.
.. The policy of republicanism is
to enact or reconstruct the high
tariff Of old. A tariff is nothing
more nor less than a tax levied
upon the common people for what
they eat and wear. 1t protects
the wealthy manufacturer with one
hand and robs the laborer with the
other. That is republican protec
ton personified in the newly in
augurated William Mckinley.
Republicaism of today seeks to
reconstruct it's system of a prot
ective tariff-a policy which means
that the masses must pay a higher
price for the necessities of life, yet j,
denies them the money with which
to buv. That is protection under
the gold standard. The people
are denied a sufficient volume OF
money to properly transact the
business of the country, and repub-
licanism under Mckinley seeks to
inaugrate its protective policy and
force the masses to pay higher
prices, when they cannot obtain
money to pay e the low prices
that exist today. A reconstruct
ed tariff mean higher prices for
manufactured goods but it offers
nothing in the way of an increase
of price on farm products. II
offers nothing in the wav of in
creased wages for labor. During
80 years Of republican protection
wages went or adually down and
the prices Of all farm products fell
with them. What do you think Of
the outlook for a wave of pros
perity under this same policy

That you needed something in Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes

aided by brilliant fireworks. 1t is also
suggested that fleet of several YES
sells shall take part in the lombard
ment-and incidentally that one of
them be set afre by the defenders OF
the beleagured fort. MI. Hall esti-
mates the cost of this attraction to be
not over $500; it is certainly unique,
and met with the hearty support of
the meeting. AS an adjunct to this, w.
]. Driscol Jr., suggested that the own
ers of property along the river banks
be requested to burn colored lights
from time to time during the attack.
Monday night has been definitely set
aside for the Venetian water carnival
and fireworks at Como, and it is also
suggested that five or six barbecueS be
held in various parts Of the city on
the same evening, that the material
welfare of the visitors may be provided
for as well as their artistic sense OF
the beautiful.
w. A. Van Slyke presented another
novel idea. the drill of an electrical
brigade. He thinks that a company
of men, each ornamented by four or
five colOred incandeScent lights, would
present beautiful appearance as they
executed their military maneuvers On
the streets. These lights could be fed
from battery or dynamo on a float
either in the rear or advance of the
procession, and this float could also be
brilliantly Illuminated. Mr.. Van Slyke
said that he had Investigated the mat
ter and found that the scheme is thor
oughly practical.
Isaac Lederer thought that 1t would
be unique feature if on some partic-
ular night everybody who went abroad
and their name would be legion-was
to carry a Japanese lantern.
All these suggestions will be taken
into consideration by the executive
committee at it's meeting today

RAMSEY COUNTY ROADS.
Little to Be Done This Fall, Owing
to Lack of Funds.


At the regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners yesterday
forenoon, a resolution was adopted
granting the joint court house and city
hall commission permission to use the
room in the east end of the basement
of the county Jail for the purpose of
installing and operating machinery and
apparatus for heating and lighting the
court house and city hall, and to make
such alterations as may be necessary.
The board received a communication
from County Treasurer Edmund to
the effect that the sheriff had made
good the check for 1927 drawn by the
late George Allen and turned over to
the county treasurer, together with
the other receipts of the sheriff's office
The board took official notice of the
coming game of base ball between the
city and county employees, scheduled
to take place on Thursday, Aug. rs,
by adopting Mr.. Quehrs2 resolution
giving the county employees half holi-
day on that date.
The county auditor reported that the
balance on hand-in the roads and
bridges fund was $4.436.78.
The board assented to the commit
ment of Maud c. Matthews to the
state public school, and then adjourned
until p. M tomorrow to consider the
routine bills.
In the afternoon the committee on
roads and bridges held a meeting to
discuss the condition of the county
roads. 1t was decided in consequence
of the lack of funds not to construct
road this fall across the Keller marsh
but to begin the work early next spring
1t will cost 81, 300. The committee will

themselves on the result
Invitations had been sent out to 3d.

west, making them practically men,
bers Of the association, and securing
for them the reduced railroad fare of
one and onethird fare for the round
trip; also emitting them to the courte-
sizes of the Commercial club rooms in
ooth cities, and the prospects are that
a very large proportion of the reclp-
tents OF these remembranceS will avail
themselves of the opportunity to visit
the cities and make their fall pur-
chases. Indeed Secretary ]. HI. Beck,
of the Jobbers' union, says that many
other merchants who were uninten-
tonally overlooked are sending in for
their credentials
The excursionists commenced stray
Cling in yesterday morning; there was
no organized crowd of them, but every
train on every road entering the city
brought its quota, and the result was
that fully two hundred buyers thronged
the establishments lof the jobbers and
wholesalers of St. Paul and Mime

Jobbing trade known here for years.

an 1nconVenlentstime for them to start,
While the nextJeXcursion, on Monday
and Tuesday off next week, will prob
ably bring a much larger crowd. It is
expected, however, that by far the
largest crowd will come during the
week of the state fair. Their tickets
are good for ten days before return
ing.
While no particular arrangements
have been made for the entertain
ment of these visitors, beyond what is
mentioned above, each wholesale house
is looking out for the welfare of it's
own particular customers, and every
thing is being done to make them feel
well repaid for their visit. Perhaps
on future events of this kind more
general programme may be arranged.
but the visitors are well satisfied, as
evidenced by the expression of one of
them that he wouldn't have missed
the trip for anything, and he proposed
to come again during fair week."

AS He Turned Down Number of
acquisitions.


Assemblymen Reardon and Kirke, of
the committee on acquisitions, consid-
cred batch: Of applications for pur-
chases by the several departments
yesterday. Five of the requisitions
applied for were thrown out by the
committee. The first was for lumber
and painting a portion of the market
house, the estimated cost being given
by the marketmaster as $24.S The requi-
sition was dated Aug 2.
Two acquisitions submitted by the
police department were not approved.
One called for S52 for the payment of
labor performed and services rendered

Dill was contracted during the semi
annual inspection of the lamps used

Drawing Double.

The revelations made by the lobe as to
what was being done in the way of expensive
junkets and drawing of double salaries by
university professors, who also serve the state
in other capacities, has borne fruit, and has
started an investigation by the state auditor
as to some way of simplifying the accounting
system by combining the salaries in one
lump sum. The auditor, of course has no
power to fix the salaries Of the officials.
For instance, Prof. Folwell draws So 400 per
