A New Railroad Project.

| The people to the south of us are
agitating and working for a new line
of railway, which will be OF vast i'm
portance and great value to all the
material and business interests of
Cresco. if the project can be consum-
ated. The line is TO start from the
coal region of Iowa at or near Osk-
| loosa then ce over the most feasible
route to Waterloo, thence through
Denver. in Bremen county, to Frederi-
ka to New Hampton, thence north
entering this county at or near
Lourdes, thence to Cresco. The line
OF road our friends who are agitating
say it to be part Of the Illinois
Central Railway system, whose line it
would intersect at Waterloo, thus con-
Meeting US with both Chicago, New
Orleans, and the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t would place our city in
direct communication with the coal
fields OF Iowa, insuring cheap transpor-
tation of fuel, one of the great needs
OF our people who are engaged, or who
may wish to engage in manufactures
OF any kind. At present the greatest
obstacle in the way OF establishing
and conducting manufactures in our
midst is the cost of coal, owing to
freight charges, consequent upon the
round-a-bout way from the coil fields
to our place, the product passing over
several lines in many instances. This
line would place us on a direct line
within two hundred miles of the large
coal fields of the state. Should our
city deem it wise and prudent to put
in plant for electric light, heat and
power, the cost of fuel is an impor-
tant item to be considered. The de-
velopment of science in the use of
electric power will be used in Michi-
gan during the present year to oper-
ate more than 40G miles of electric
railway. Improved inventions in the
cost OF operating roads have given
them a wonderful impetus in the last
year or two. In the near future it
may be possible to introduce them
into this portion of Iowa, ard travers-
ing the country from Cresco to Mason
City, such a line would cross or inter-
sect with seven lines of railway which
would give us the benefit OF each one
for freight or passenger transporta-
ton.

public treasury, declared himself and
his administration in favor of repudi-
ating that bond contract, in the inter.
est of the bond holding class, which
paid the price of his election, in the
following language:
Whatever may be the language OF
the contract, the United States will
discharge all its obligations in the
currency recognized as tho best
throughout the civilized world at the
time of payment" declares the Presi-
dent, NOR will we ever consent that
the wages of labor or it's frugal saw
savings shall be scaled down by per-
uniting payment in dollars of less
the best in every enlightened nation
of the earth."
This promise of the administration
to the men who plundered the gov
ernment, under the Cleveland ad-
ministration, are assured that they
shall have another $4,000, 900 under
the Mckinley admin istration. This
ought to show our interrogation for
whom is prosperity. The promise to
the wages of labor, is simply mock
cry, ,and must have caused his million
aire auditors to smile, they we'll
knowing that the labor of the coun-
try is to pay to them the bonus prom
ised by the president.
The wealth they represent bears
none of the burdens of taxation to
support them 1n their luxury, the
federal government deriving its rev.
enut from Indirect taxes which are
paid by consumers of taxed articles,
the wage Garner consuming as much
OF them as the coupon clipper, and,
as the laborers and producers are
vastly the most humorous class, they
bear the larger portion of the cost Of
government, the wealth of the mil
lionalres being entirely exempt
through the decision of the Supreme
court on the income tax.
For the past thirty years the legis-
lation of the country and the admin
istration of the law has been in the
interest of the wealth absorbers of
the country and against the wealth
producers, and no amount of soph-
istry canprevent men of intelli-
gence of the labor class from dis
cerning this truth.

Questions Answered.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER,
Dear Sir:-Please answer the fol
lowing in one of your TwIcE-A-
WEEK, and will oblige,
Yours &c.
A SUBSCRIBER,
1st. Why does prosperity always
come under Republican administra-
tions?
snd. Why have we more strikes
and labor troubles under the same
party power?
3rd. Does the Republican en-
ployer pocket all the prosperity and
pay his employees with confidencei
Seems to me such has been the rule.
1st. ''Why dose prosperity always
come under republican admiuistra-
tions?'
Answer. What of prosperity has
come to the people of the United
States is the result of short crops and
famine abroad and not to be credited
to the administration. When pros
perity reaches the classes who are
not in some syndicate, trust or COM
bine, organized to appropriate to
itself the proceeds of the labor done
by others, will be time enough to in
vestigate causes.
2nd. "Why have we more strikes
and labor troubles under the same
party power?"
Because the boasted prosperity has
not come to the masses, who contri-
buted nothing but their votes, to
party success. Those who poured
their money into the campaign must
first be paid. The cotton mills of
New England, wi b 135, 900 operatives
now on strike, because of a 10 per
cent. reduction. have just declared a
dividend of 16 per cent. The busi-
ness manager can hold his position
only by making large dividends to
the stockholders. Ten per cent. re-
duction from the pay of operatives,
who receive the unifcent sum of
80 cents day for their labor, still
leaves them a triflle over $4.00
week, and with employment on half
time as is given to most of them, they
earn annually the princely sum of
$104 to $125 year.
3rd. docs the republican employ
er pocket all the prosperity, and pay
his employees with confidence? Seelns
to me such has been the rule"
Our interrogation seems to have
formed the correct conclusion.
The national government does not
owe dollar of debt, except the gold
certificates, payable in gold. The
Cleveland bonds before they were
issued, Mr.. Cleveland asked of
congress authority to issue bonds
payable in gold, alleging that they
would bring $16,0OO,0OO more than
bonds which might be paid in silver.
Congress refused to give the author
ity asked. The bonds were issu ed
and sold to a syndicate headed by j.
Pierpont Morgan at $1.04, when in
the market they were worth $1.20,
and were disposed of by the syn
dicate at $1.24, realizing a profit of
about $15, 100000 on the purchase and
sale.

DR.. Gould cited some peculiar in
stances Of personifcation of objects
by children and of devotion to them
so intense as to amount almost to
worship. Two small girls made a
special pet Of a stone, to which they
gave the name Tom; others, becom
ing interested in all mice through
affection for one small, white mouse,
formed themselves into secret So
,ciety for the protection of the crea-
lures which are usually the detesta-
ton Of all womankind. Other in
stances were given of children Who
cherished particular affection for
special pillows or blankets, who
even had pet names for them and
who refused to be comforted if sep
arated from the beloved object.

wards! Therefore it was found nee
essary to return distance to let some
passengers alight, when the journey
was resumed westward, thence north
ward along the ridge. Somewhere to
the east of the ridge man could be
seen wading in water with scythe
in his hands. Further on the ceme-
terry was passed. Going nearly an
other mile north and not seeing ought
save a solitary duck in slough, we
turned the horses head for home and
in less than an hour, reached it.
Conclusions may be drawn from
some of the above facts by those who
read them. Of course questions will
force themselves upon us such as !:
Are we as patriotic as we should be
in these stirring times? Do we feel,
although born in distant country,
that we are under the protection of,
and that we should therefore protect
the star-spangled banner? Is there
any necessity, in order to prove our
loyalty to the Union, of displaying
flags and making other demonstra-
tons? and other questions. For our
part, suffice it to say that patriotism
like charity, may very properly begin
at home, and though we may quite
properly celebrate the birthday Of
our liberty, by demonstrations, yet
it is not inappropriate to spend the
day at home or among friends and
neighbors. BOB B.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

Will some Of our free silver friends
explain why wheat and silver parted
company? During the campaign OF
1896, one Of the fundamentals OF
their faith was that a bushel OF wheat
always had been and always would
be worth Just about as much as all
ounce OF silver. Starting with this
tremendous falsehood, they then ar
eued that wheat could not rise until
silver rose; that giving the latter
free coinage would at once cause it
to rise to $1.29 per ounce; and wheat
would go up, too, in the same pro-
portion.
vi course, intelligent men knew
that no such relation exists between
the prices OF silver and wheat, or sill
yer and anything else. But the un-
intelligent believed it, and several
millions of them showed their belief
by voting for that once eminent has
been, Wm. J. Bryan.
There is no excuse for even an I'M
Intelligent man to believe this silver
and wheat fallacy now. Silver is
lower to-day than it was in 1896,
and wheat has been lowering around
the dollar mark for the past year.
1t is now far above that; and BUSH
ell OF it is worth considerably more
than two ounces OF silver.
1t will not do to say that the high
price of wheat is because of the war,
for even a fool knows that is not
true. There is nothing in the prog
ress OF hostilities to affect the price
OF wheat. There is no interruption
OF commerce-no blocking OF wheat
exports, thus producing scarcity in
importing countries. The soldiers
in the field eat no more bread than
they did at home. The causes of
high wheat are we'll understood by
all. Briefly, they are, crop short
ages in most wheat-growing coun-
tries except our own.
When the world is raising each
year more wheat than it eats, as was
the case for several years prior to
1896, the price will be low, without
regard to the price OF silver or any
thing else. And when the worlds
wheat product is less than it's re.
quirements for food. wheat goes up,
irrespective of silver. The demon
stration OF the law of supply and de-
mand has knocked the favorite ar
gument of the great silver trust into
fragments.-.Toledo Blade.
