tries and manufactures in the last
twenty years, and at the same time
they nave tyrannical government
does that prove that a tyrannical gov
ernment is the proper form of govern
ment?
Here In Chisago county the people
by their .nIus rV have transformed
these pratr1es, these forests into beau
tlfui farms. They have built houses,
ana am glad to say, creditable houses
for themselves; they have made excel
lent farms. Has that been done by
law? No, 1t has been done by labor,
by care, by frugality. How are the
crops raised? They are raised by labor
of plowing, cultiVating, harvesting.
How are the buildings erected? BY
selling these crops. How are the crops
carried to market? By the great trans
portation system of the country. So the
farmer, instead of being interested in
having anybody charge too much for
the goods he has to buy, is interest
ed in selling his grain in the markets
of the world
PROBLEM OF TRUSTS.
Now, these trusts and combines
have become a serious matter in the
United States. The Standard Oil COM
cany has so arranged affairs that 1t
controls practically ali the oil in the
United States. The sugar trust con-
trolls the sale of sugar. No merchant
can sell sugar except at certain prices
hXed by the trust, without having the
right taken away from him to sell
sugar. Ask any grocer if that is not 80.
1t is protected by an enormous tariff
which shuts out the supply from the
rest of the world; they use this tariff
to bleed the people Of the United States
THE steel trust has been organized
Lately they organized a combination
which takes in the Illinois Steel COM
Fany, the Minnesota iron mines and
the mines on the Gogebic range, the
iron mines in Wisconsin, and the man
ufacturing concerns in Pennsylvania
and linked and banded them together
SO as to control the prices of every
thing, and the newspaper dispatches
and commercial reports say this indi-
Gates a speedy stiffening Of prices.
On the other hand as soon as they get
control of these mines and mills they
the output to keep the prices up, and
labor is discouraged. The price of
everything in the country Is thus kept
up close with the tariff rate. The tariff
system has also destroyed our mer-
chant marine. In 1860 about 50 per cent
Of our foreign commerce was carried
in our own vessels. Today less than
10 per cent goes abroad in our own
ships. This has occurred not under
the management of the Democratic
party, but under the management Of
the party that looks upon the Demo-
cratic party with disdain and
tries to thwart all it's efforts; we have
taxed the shipbuildlng industry out of
existence in this country.
''As Mr.. Rosing said, the silver ques-
ton is not a pressing question just
now; we had fight on that in 1896, and
the election Of Mckinley prevents any
silver bill becoming Il law now, but we
can fight these trusts and monopolies.
We want to build up our commerce and
increase the price of wheat. They
promised US prosperity two years ago
as the result of adopting the policy
proposed by that eminent business
man, the enemy of labor, Marcus A.
Hanna, Of Cleveland. They told US
that prosperity would follow. Instead
of being followed by new banks, new
industries the election Of 1895 was fol-
lowed by the breaking of banks every
where; banks went down all over the
country.
MIR. ROSING'S REMARKS.
NJ 11yho T,rJCo VU;I
lis, after discussing the national is
sues for a short time, directed his at
tention to state issues and paid his re-
spects to Mr.. Eustis in thecfollowing
languages:
II want to charge against Mr.. Eustis
deliberately that he was director in
the greatest swindle that the state
has ever seen or ever known, not only
this state, but the great Northwest.
want to charge that Mr.. Eustis was a
director and participated in the di-
rectors' meetings Of the Guaranty Loan
Company Of Minneapolis. And [ defy
Mr.. Eustis or any Of his friends to
deny the fact that he participated in
the meetings of the directors of that
company which swindled the people
out of nine millions of dollars; which
broke one of the most prosperous banks
in my county, and 1 tell you the people
down there don't love him. 1 make
this charge with the full knowledge of
the consequences of 1t, and I ask you.
my friends, If you want to elect a man
to the governorship of this great state
with such a record. Has he got the
right to call anybody members of the
| j
against Mr.. Eustis because he is a Re
publican, but because he stands before
you asking for your suffrages to the
highest position in the gift Of the peo-
pie of this state. The governor is an
| executive officer, and we want to Judge
whether he will make a good governor
there from a business mans standpoint,
and you, my friends, are best qualified
to judge whether you want a man with
that kind of q record for your gov
ernor.
"We have placed John Lind upon a
platform that means something. We

road affairs and place railroad COM
missioners in office who will try
to enforce the decision of the supreme
court We pledge John Lind to place
III the position OF bank examiner a man
who will try TO report upon the con-
dition of the banks. We pledged John
Lind to see to it that all the laws of
the state are executed as they are
written, and John Lind accepted the
task under these conditions, and I

election time comes again, when you
