THE DULL TIMES.

The Eastern Papers Admit the Truth.
In summing up the business situa-
ton on Monday last, the Philadelphia
Press rather gloomily remarks:
This distinct pause which has come
in business is variously explained, but of
it's existence there can be no question
whatever. The stock market is dull. in
spite of much advice to buy stocks
Grain speculation has ceased. Textile
weeklies publish pages of interviews to
explain the dull market. Boot and shoe
shipments today only equal those of 1895
The iron and steel trade, while very
large, is tenth less than it was three
months ago. With loanable capital very
cheap, exports large and imports small,
no activity is apparent at any point
Cereals must average hover for the
next year, and cotton probably will.
Wooden manufacture has not met the
boom 1T anticipated, and both wool and
woolens are readjusting prices. In cot
ton permanently lower level has been
reached and both the capitalization and
profits of mills have to be adjusted to
it," 800 - . ~'"'' -

1t is now reported that the secretary
of war, the patriot Alger, in conjunc-
ton with Gen. Shafter and some great
patriotic politicians in Michigan, had
Matched out little business scheme in
connection with the campaign in Cuba.
1t is said that Alger had things fixed
up so that Shafter would be the head
guy, and when the job was finished he
would be appointed military governor
of the tobacco and sugar island, and
thus give the Alger syndicate of pilfer-
ers a cinch on the exploitation of the
Cuban people that were to be freed
from the Spanish yoke. Gen. Miles
now complains that Gen. Alger never
gave him the word to go to Cuba to
take command, although he was direct
ed to do SO by the president. In conse-
quence Alger and Miles are not on
speaking terms We may shortly
hear more about this business of free-
ing Cuba. The true story will come to
light and the dear people will then see
with open eyes what their sleek and
cunning governors meant by "freeipg'"

\ Grand Gathering.

1t was delightful sight TO see, on
last Saturday afternoon, at The Repre-
sentative office, the gathering of the
gallant band of delegates on their way
to the Cincinnati convention.
There were the heroes of a hundred
fights; the men whose clear heads and
honest hearts had withstood the temp
tations, assaults and receptions of a
whole generation of corrupt and dishon-
est men. Threats could not bulge them;
ISLANDERS could not mislead them; brides
could not buy them. The faith they had
pledged, in 1890, to the old Alliance
party had been kept to this hour: they
mad stood by the cradle Of the People S
party at Omaha, and they were now on
their way to drag it out of the pit which
bad men had intended should be its
grave

triot, Hamlin V. Poore, always reliable,
always laborious for the good of man.

our valued associate in the publication
OF this paper; there was S. w. Powell,

the ST. Croix valley; there was our ex-
Hcellent friend, S. NJ, Fairchild, of Min
'neapolis, and gallant Standard bearer
Charles H. Hopkins of Fairfax, an DID
soldier and one Of the best men in the
state, besides being our candidate for
state auditor; there was DR.. H. B. Fay.
OF Minneapolis, new man in our work,
but whose great energy has made his
name familiar all over the country;
there was our modest, but firm and emil
nently wise friend, E. w. Bonham, of
st. Paul; there were Messrs C. J. Amt
zen and his brother, 0. Arntzen, leading
and influential Populists of Chippewa
county; there was that sweet singer of
Boon Lake, Mr.. A. NJ Potted; there was
also Mr.. Skegerud, of Sacred Heart: Mr..
Rutherford, of Saltwater: Mr.. Seymour
Stephens, of Fairfax, Mimi; Mr.. Min
kle, of Nicollet county, and that brave
reformer, George Mennie. of Lincoln
county. Last, but by no means least
were those prominent Populists, George
w. Day, of this city, and Mr.. Parks, Of
Glencoe.
There were also number of ladies in
the party. including Mrs. and Miss Hop
kins, Mrs. G. L. Nicholson, Mrs George
W. Day, Mrs. and Miss Bonham, and
Mrs. Murkle; while Mrs. E. A. Twitchall
and Mrs. Ignatius Donnelly accompa-
MED their husbands.

didate for congress ?'-Norman County
Herald
l. When Ringdal was chairman of
the Popul!st state convention in 1896,
he refused to recognize any but fusion
lists, either on committees or on the
floor of the convention. Donnelly, Hal
vorson and Boon were all members of
the convention, but because they were
plain Populists they could not be rec
ognized by Ringdal, although they had
occupied the position to which he now
aspires.
2. Ringdal expects to get the Demo-
cratic vote in the district in return for
services he has rendered the Democratic
party in steering the Populists into the
Democratic camp.

Also summing up the situation, and. On
the same day, the Philadelphia Inquirer

Business still waits the shaping up

crops in prospect, but they are not made;
we expect to get good prices for cereals,
but the basis of value has not yet been

bellion. Nothing is of more importance
to benefit mankind than land, and
nothing gives a betetr excuse for de-
handing change in the administration
than the depriving mankind of the free
use OF land, for land he must have in
order to live, for he cannot live in the
air nor in the sea. The first duty of any
government is to see to it that all may
have the free use of enough of the earth
to provide his sustenance. All should
have enough, and all see this and all
would acknowledge it were it not for
land monopoly. Now, there are two
ways to get the land; one by socialism,
nave the government own all the land,

Government cannot exist without
taxes. With the single tax that would
be provided for, and no other taxation
would be required. All personal prop

taxation. A farm might pay a tax on
"a or IS per acre valuation, and one
farm in advance. All those without
land would soon find land abandoned by
spectators, for they would find it un-
profitable to pay tax when that land
was not let out for some one to labor
on. The landlord, when he could not
get his own living out Of the profits of
other peoples labor, will stop paying
tax without profit, while the farmers
could easily pay the one tax, being ex-
empt from all other taxes and rent. Be-
