REPUBLICAN MONEY.

We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to. debase
our currency or impair the credit Of
our country. We are therefore op-
posed to the free coinage of silver
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
of the world, which we pledge our
selves to promote, and until such
agreement can be obtained the exist
ing gold standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures de-
signed to maintain inviolably the
obligations of the United States, and
all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard
of the most enlightened nations of
the earth. ''-Republican platform of
1896.

M1NNEAPoL1s did herself proud in
entertaining the Minnesota Editors
and Publishers Association last
week. Nothing was left undone to
make the meeting pleasant and pro-
fitable. A thousand thanks are due
to the Minneapolis Press Club for the
cheerful and painstaking manner in
which they entertained the visitors
and attended to all their wants, also
to Mayor Pratt, Mrs. W. E.. Haskell,
The Minneapolis Street Railway Co.,
Wyman Partridge & Co., the great
wholesale dry goods house, and to
the Minnesota Rolling Mills Company
for courtesies extended. The state
is proud of it's great metropolis by
the Falls Of St. Anthony. In it's rap
i'd growth is reflected the growth and
developmenu OF the commonwealth
and of the entire Northwest. Three
cheers for Minneapolis!

A visit to the plant of the Mime
sofa Rolling Mills at Columbia
Heights, Minneapolis, last week, re-
vealed very clearly how waste mate
rial, apparently having little or no
value, may be utilized and converted
into something that has value. Old
iron from discarded reapers, mowers,
railway cars, railway rails, and nu-
merous other sources, is practically
valueless unless it can be transformed
SO as to again serve a useful purpose
in our economics. And that is just
what is being done at this plant,
which has recently been erected and
employs large number of men
another evidence of Mckinley pros
perity. At one machine we saw a
pile of old horse shoes being cut up,
preparatory to being melted again
at another, old railroad rails were
cut up into smaller pieces. Other
workmen were engaged in packing
the pieces into rectangular boxes,
ready to be put into the furnace.
When melted into mass the chunk
of iron glowing with a white heat was
quickly transferred to the rolling
mills, where it passed through be-
tween rollers back and forth until the
desired thickness of the rod or bar of
iron was reached-a very interesting
process.

EyENTa of great im1Nort:,nce and ;v

EVENTS of great importance and in
terest affecting our relations with
Spain and Cuba have crowded upon
one another lately. First came the
De LONE incident, which occasioned
the recall of the Spanish minister,
because in letter written by him he
had made disparaging remarks about
President Mckinley and the admin
istration. Next the U. S. battle ship,
Maine, was sent to Havana to make
a. friendly call, and while she lay
anchored in the harbor, about nine
O'Clock in the evening, a terrific ex-
plosion occurred, which completely
shattered the. strong ship and sent
25S Of the officers and crew to hor-
rib1e, watery grave. How the explo-
sion occurred is still a matter of spec
ulation, andis now being investigated
by our government. That it was
caused by an accident inside the ship
is very probable, yet many believe
that the treacherous Spaniards ex
ploded a torpedo under the ship and
caused it's destruction. Whatever
the cause, the loss of so many human
lives is deplorable. The ship cost
about $1,000, 900, and is almost to-
tai loss. If the investigation now in
progress should find that the explo-
sion resulted from an external cause,
war. with Spain is very imminent.
The situation is grave indeed. While
the United States has nothing to fear
as to the outcome in contest with
Spain, yet the feet of the latter coun-
try could doubtless inAict consider
able damage upon our ocean: CON-
merce and upon our seaport cities.
1t speaks we'll for the good sense of
the mass of the American people that
in such a critical time they are dis
posed to act with fairness and calm
ness. The jingos are relegated to the
rear. The people have no desire to
begin an unjust war, but if forced in
to one they will not stop until wrongs
are righted and human liberty sits
enthroned where tyranny now reigns::

THE American farmer has Jared eN-
tremely well during the year 1897,
the famous year of Protection and
prosperity. He received for his
brea,lstuffs double the money he re-
ceived in 1894 or 1895, and nearly
so per cent. more than he received
in 1896. The value of breadstuffs
exported from the United States in
1894 was $121, 123,377; in 1895,
$121, 571,555; in 1896, $177,27S,-
