After a few remarks bv James Nc
Carney, James Flynn was asked TO
take the floor. He recounted his en-
listment, the battle of Shiloh, being
taken prisoner, and then how while
on a transport ship, he, as the drum
mer boy, was dared by the other
Union prisoners to sing John Brown,
Perched in the bow Of the boat, he
sang it spite of the rebels, and he
sang it Monday night toe, the whole
company enthusiastically joining in.
Justice Stenger, as representa-
tive of the bench, gave few remarks.
Speeches were aeked for from the
soldiers, but they declined, and in
true soldierly fashion would say
nothing about the Chicamaugua hos
pitfalls while still wearing Uncle Sans
uniform.
After some dis cussion regarding
sending presents to the boys at Man
lila, it was decided that H. L Smith
would be left free to appoint his own
committee, these to act in conjunc-
ticn with the local Red Cross society,
The company broke up with three
cheers and a tiger for the Morris sol
diers. That Morris should so hand
somely have welcomed her soldiers
was entirely fitting; and that the boys
were worthy of such welcome may
be perennial source of pride.

1t is pity to see the farm ma
chlnerv which is going to ruin in this
county. Binders are sometimes left
in the fields, but more often hauled
up to the farm house and there left
for the wind and rain to rust them to
prices. With proper housing, bin
der will last from six to ten years;
but without proper care, many ma
chine will break down the second
season. Then another 500 must be
spent for a new machine and the pur-
chaser is kept all the time in debt
Such poor management cannot make
prosperous farmers, yet this county
cannot be prosperous till the farmers
are prosperous.

10 be, for the committee on ways and
means and the committee on appro-
priations never confer. 1t has been
the invariaple rule that congresses OF
both political parties have spent more
than was provided for by the revenue.
Accordingly this deficit is always
made up at the next session with a
deficiency bill.SoMr. Owen S argument
about deficit is so much nonsense.
However, the Dingley bill was aimed
to prevent this, and while the excess
of expenditures over receipts for the
year ending June 30, 1898, was $40
SOL, 27121, yet when the unexpected
war expenditures are taken from this,
it will be seen that receipts would
have exceed expenditures. Were the
year to be reckoned for the calendar
year of 1897, it would be found that
under the Dingley bill the receipts
really exceeded the expenditures by
like $18,OO0,00O.
Would that we could take up more
of Mr.. Ovens alleged arguments, but
lack of space forbids.

Much has been said in different To-
calities about he unfair grading of
wheat. Four facts were brought out
by the meeting in St. Paul last We'd
nesdaY. First, inspectors are, like
other people, liable to err in a few
instances. Second, this years crop
contains more cookie then has been
true heretofore. To remove this
cookie is expensive and hardly prsc-
ticable for the large mills. Third,
much wheat was graded No. 2 when
shipped early in the season; it had
been threshed from the shock and
was wet or bleached. Fourth; local
graders where there was no competi-
ton were largely at fault. That wheat
has received it's full grade here in
Morris, where competition is sharp,
is shown by the statement of the Far
mers elevator that they had had only
two cars graded No. 2. So the whole
matter turns out very poor campaign
material for the Popocrats.

JUST BEHIND THE TIMES.
S. M. Owens Speech Only Repeated
The Same Theeadbare Arguments.


The Same Theeadbare Arguments.
Thursday night Of last week was
chilly, but the reception given S. NJ.
Owen at the opera house that night
was still chillier. Not more than 35
listeners, all told, gathered to hear
the Fusionist orator and over half of
these were Republicans. Mr.. Owen
went over the old question Of silver,
while his hearers tried had to keep
awake. Then he introduced garbled
statistics comparing the Dingley and
Wilson tariff bills. He saddled the
blame for the defalcati of Haugan,
the. Minneapolis treasurer upon Eus-
It's, when Mr.. Eustis had no more
connection with that fraud than did
Mr.. Owen or any other private citizen
of that much robbed city.
Mr.. Owen awakened no enthusiasm.
He seemed to be talking against
time. Some of his remarks are else
where considered editorialiy.

J. F. Schain, of Browns Valley, Goes
Before the Grain Commission.

Before the Grain Commission.
j. I. Schain, of Browns Valley, Re.
publican nominee for representative
from this district, was in town last
week Friday while enroute to his home
in Browns Valley. Mr.. Schain is at
present seeking the endorsement OF
the voters of the 18th district and
that he is entitled to support from
the farmers and business men is
shown by his attitude before the state
grain and warehouse commission on
Wednesday of last week. Because
OF the many objections to the grad
ing of this years crop of wheat. the
state inspector called a meeting of
those interested, at st. Paul last We'd
nesday. At this meeting j. T. Schain
appeared as the representative of the
Browns Valley farmers and business
men. He spoke of the dissatisfaction
with the grading of wheat at that
place, stating that most of the wheat
which had been bought there graded
No. 2. The inspectors, however, took
exceptions to this on the grounds that
their records showed only one car of
No. z wheat from Browns Valley.
This statement led Mr.. Schain to lay
no more blame against the terminal
inspectors. Before the meeting, Mr..
Schain had watched the inspectors at
their work and after examining into
their methods very carefully, he be-
came convinced that the fundamental
fault was not with the state graders,
but must be in some other quarter.
The real root of the trouble, says
Mr.. Schain, rests with the elevator
men in towns where there is no com
petition. At Browns Valley for in
stance, the line elevators have the
buying and grading of wheat all in
their own hands. Therefore they
force down the grade 70 No. 2, and
then sell the same wheat at terminals
for No. 1.
By the interest which Mr.. Schain
has taken in this question, he has
gained the confidence of the farmers
who market their grain at Browns
Valley. Mr.. Schain is strong Re
publican, but he went to St. Paul
and delivered good sized kick to
the commission, all irrespective of
party considerations. The probing
he gave the commission showed that
the latter was still sound and heal
thy. and not rotten to the core as
some Popocrats and other revenue
only" howlers would make us believe.
This single act shows somewhat of
Mr.. Schain's sterling character. He
has the, interests of the farmer at
heart for he is himself farmer.
With this man in the house of repre-
sentatlves, the apostles of fraud will
have to fight shy, The farmers will
cast their votes for him next Novem-
Der irrespective of party affiliations,
for they will deem it privilege to
help send such friend of theirs to
the state legislature.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1898-10-05

From the reports of P. NJ. Ring
dahPs speeches given in Populist pa
pers, we find that he considers the sill
yer question very insignificant, and
emphasizes the questions of trusts
and transportation. Ringdahl says
he will regulate railroad rates if he
goes to congress something which
he did not do when in the Legislature.
In regard to trusts and monopolies,
he will shew them off the face of the
earth. If Ringdahl will promise to
wipe out original sin, his category
will be complete. Trusts are a great
octopus on the commercial system of
today, but so is original sin. We all
must keep up the fight against I'M
lawful combinations as we must
against all evil, yet this generation
and many another will pass away
long before the millennium. We are
glad Mr.. Ringdahl is opposed to
trusts, but it is certainly bad taste for
him to talkas if he were the only right
Gus one left in Israel.

nR. OWEN CAMPAIGNING.

In one of the flights of oratory on
Thursday night, S. NJ. Owen said
@.How the people are fooled and ca
ioled that they may be defrauded
thereby"
By that remark he stigmatized his
own speech and branded himself as a
hypocrite.
When Mr.. Owen said that foreign
countries bought our silver bullion at
5Ocents on the dollar, then coined it
and bought our wheat with the silver
coin, now worth 100 cents on the dol
lar, he must have known that he lied.
A man of Mr.. Ovens business ex-
perience certainly must know how
foreign exchanges are accomplished.
American wheat is paid for with the
manufactured goods of England, the
wines Of France, the teas of China and
a hundred other products of as many
different countries The metals en-
ter very little into foreign exchanges,
but wherever silver is exported or I'M
ported, its valuation is just the same
for pure silver whether coined or I'M
coined. The utter absurdity of Mr.
Ovens statement is apparent when
the official records show that all the
silver produced in the United States
for the past ten years, if held by some
Liverpool wheat buyer, for example,
would not be sufficient to buy one
years wheat cropof the United States.
Another statement Of Mr.. Ovens |
which would probably strike a re-
sponsive chord if he were addressing
q full house was this, "Where we have
nothing to sell, prices are high; and
when we have something to sell,
prices are low, and they call it over
production" If Owen can set in OPP
Grafton an economic law whereby |
prices will go up when the demand is
low and down when the demand is
high, he will take his rank with Stock
ton and his negative gravity machine.
Stockton found that the negative
machine was great boon when he
was out mountaineering, but when
his lunch basket foated off into the
air and he himself had the machine
screwed up so high that he foated 20
feet above the ground and unable to
get down, he decided to have moth
ing more to do with negative gravity.
In other words, if Mr.. Owen would
negative the natural economic law Of
supply and demand regulating
prices, he may expect to find himself
floating in the air.
Then he had much to say about the
deficit caused by the Dingley bill.
Now Mr.. Owen knows that there new
er has been a tariff bill but what it
could be said to have caused a de
felt. Nor is anything else possible
under our system Of providing for
governmental expenditure. The tar
ifs are laid with only general
k knowledge Of wEat. expenditures a'e

YOU, JOHN LIND.

1OOs JOlIlN LINZ
An old soldier, conversant with
army regulations, brings John Lind
up with short turn with a commu-
nication to the Fairmont News. John
Lind gave an interview to the Mime
apolis Times in which he told of the
many charges the commissary de-
partment of the army would have to
answer for. He then particularizes
in regard to short weight on hay and
oats for the horses and worthless
shoes for the soldiers, Now the army
regulations require the quartermas-
ter to see that the government is not
cheated on it's invoices and each time
transfer,of army property is made,
vouchers are supposed to be given
and full measure is supposed to be
found when the transfer is made.
"Army regulations are the laws by
which an army is governed and the
above shows conclusively that the
man responsible for the state of af
fairs referred to by Mr.. Lind, is John
Lind, quartermaster of the 18th Mimi
Vols. If he was fool enough to re-
ceipt for $50 pounds of oats and re-
ceive only 120 pounds, or 100 pounds
of hay when he only received 70I
pounds, it was his own fault and the
swindled horses and mules failed to |
do their duty unless they kicked him
at every opportunity.
eff he issued worthless shoes to the
soldier boys they were swindled by
him. Had he done his duty the shoes
could have been returned and the
guilty contractor forced to disgorge,
but by issuing them to the boys he
destroyed the evidence and left. the
soldiers to suffer and the government
to be swindled.
''His duty was to look after such
matters. This was his business and
what he was there for, and if he has
failed to attend to it he has no cause
Of complaint. The government has
been swindled and the soldiers
abused because John Lind did not do
his duty. His plant proves one of
two things; either he does not know
MS duty, or thinks the people do not,
and has taken this method to deceive
hem and make little political cap
tai out of his own shortcomings. If
10 does not know his own duty he is
unfit for even quartermaster, and if
le does not know it and is attempt
ng to deceive the people he is GER
ainly an unfit man for governor. If
lie had done less protesting and de-
7oted more time 70 attending to his
luty there would have been no ,
rouble."
