While most of the writing and talk

che ventures on the, for them, thin
ice Of state issues to view with alarm
the record made by the Democrat
Alliance legislature in 1891, specifying,
however, as the one suffioing fact, the
tax rate for state taxes, which that
legislature advanced from the low rate
prevailing under Republican admins

Republican legislature last year re-
duced to is mills. And the readers and
audience are asked if they intend to
risk another such aWfully narrowing

Tt is true that the legislature Of 1891
levied a tax of 2.6 mills on the dollar.
1t is also true that the preceding Re-

mills for 1889 and of mills for 1890.

patch man is getting his eyes open, and Is
learning something himself. The people of
Minnesota have been led by the nose about

honors for himself as we'll as for his coun-
try. John Lind is a man for the people:
his honor has been tested and not found
wanting. His craftsmanship is above
the average, and his loyalty to his country Is
above reproach Can one say aus much of
Mr.. Erstis?
According to his record he Is simply ma
chine politician of common origin. 1t is
the duty Of every man in the state that is
compelled to labor for living, to vote for
the man that is their friend in act ana
deed Such a man Is Mr.. Lind. He can
neither be led nor driven. He has a clear
mind and knows right we'll how to use It..
He has proved himself to be not only good
business man. but statesman, and one could
depend on him If our state should be invaded
by foreign foe.
The foreign blood he has coursing through
his veins makes him strong and healthy.
America is his country to live In, to repre-
sent, and to die for if need be. All ye that
are friends to the common people. turn out
and vote for John Lind. for he has already
proved to you his ability to administer the
laws and to take care of your interest in
and out of the state. We believe the time
has come when party should be laid aside,
and men of worth and ability be elected. Now
is the time to test the matter.

Inen Cner0 was the Irvine plant IN
the state prison, that had amounted to
nothing either as an employment for
the convicts or as a price leveler be-
cause 1t had no sufficient plant. So
the legislature appropriated $500 as
a revolving fund''-that has since
missed it's orbit and revolved pretty
much out of sight--with which to buy
material, together with $4,000 for adj
ditional machinery. Then, too, came
the request for a state display in the
Columbian exposition, that was met
with a grant of $50, 000-increased $780,
600 by the next leg slature-appropria
tons that exceed the excess of state
tax over that Of 1890. Add to these
amounts the $4,000 voted to put in the
stone steps to the capitol, made neces-
sary by the decay Of the old ones, and
$4,000 put into the tub and pail plant
at Saltwater, and it is evident that
economies were practiced in other d.
rectons.
These cIitics of the legislature of 1891
never explain why succeeding Repub-
lican legislatures were able to reduce
the rate OF state tax. They do not men
ton the fact that the legislature Of
1891 based estimates Of revenue in part
on the gross earnings tax en- railways,
which, in 1890, yielded 100000. The
legislature Of 1893 reduced the rate to
p mills, and the gross earnings tax
that year was 100000 more than in
1890. The legislature Of 1897 could we'll
afford to cut the rate to LIS mills, for
the gross earnings tax had yielded ST.
090,510 in 1896, While the increas in the
taxable property Of the state for that
year was over $50OOO,00O more than
in 1890. These facts make apparent

ceive III their bare comparison of rates
