To The st1 Paul Globe:
Candidate Eustis in his st. Paul speech,
proved himself pretty much Of a prevarcator.
The Journal, in reporting it, said he C1ustis)
read 1t from manuscript; no doubt because he
portance that he ought not to trust to the
inspiration Of the mo@Ant. He wanted to
say exactly. the right thing about all the
questions discussed. SO in the quiet of his
Office he sat down and put his thoughts on
paper. If such the case, then his mis-
statements become downright presentations:
has passed and what a change; Fires have
been relit, wheels began to move and the
are advanced. money easy, the rate of In
terest low; shere is gold and enough to
spare Lost values have come back to farms
and stock" Candidate B sits qualities his
order that he may have hole to crawl out
Of when cornered, and when his attention
Is called TO the thousands or unemployed
men he will say they don't want to work.
Eustis cannot point to single specific case
OF an advance in wages by any factory of
any considerable pretentions, and of but few
cases of restoration Of the Old scale and Of
very few cases where full working time has
been restored. Let Eustis take the mining
turing in wood iron, cottons, woolens CT
leather. aOd show any marked advances in
labor If he can Let him show If he can
any advance in the prices Of farm la
Dor; farm products are now too low to war
ra-t raising OF wages. 1t costs, the farmer
too much in tribute to the carriers to trans
port his grains to market to warrant him
in paying higher farm wages; besides, there
are too many looking for work at any price.
If Candidate Eustis reads the press he must
read the statement Of Mark Hannas bust
ness manager, made short time ago, that
next year, 1899, would see the greatest min
ing strike the world ever knew, because Of
the low wages he must have heard of the
mining troubles at Pana, H.. the woodwork
ers' trouble at Oshkosh, Wis, and all be-
cause of low wages--not advanced wages.
Lost values coming back. On the day of
his speech wheat sold in the Minneapolis
| market for 581s cents per bushel. On the
corresponding day in '97, one year ago, it
so per cent higher than this year Of Nc
Kinley prosperity. 1898. Does that lcok like
Gates when he says wheat under the McKin-
ley administration reached 81 go per bushel.
Eustis knows as we'll as any man living that
that price was reached under the joe Letter
some five or six millions to have his son
run the wheat administration for few short
weeks. II 1t was the Mckinley administra-
ton that put the price up to 49, why in
the name Of God does not the Mckinley ad-
ministration keep it at $1.60? Why does
the Mckinley administration suffer it to de-
cline so per cent from the normal price OF
1897? Has Mckinley gone back on the poor
farmer he went back on silver? Candidate
Eustis had no accounting fer the 80 per cent
decline in the price of wheat, nor had he
any condolences TO offer the consumer for the
increased cost Of consumptive articles he
must buy tea, coffee sugar, etc. The farm
laborer has found no advances in his wages
under the Mckinley administration, and the
farmer himself is still forced to study econ
omy to make both ends meet. Candidate
Eustis offered no sympathy to the farmer
for the advanced cost Of lumber because
that would trespass upon the lumber trust.
Candidate Eustis did not discuss the railroad
tariff and show the farmer the enormous
dividends being paid watered stocks
through the freightage of his (the farmer's)
wheat, corn. oats, barley and stock; to do 50
would be contrary to his (Eustis0 pledges
to the railway interests. Candidate EUs IS
paid high compliment to Democrats Dewey
and Schley but he did not mention the Pop
ulist hero Hobson. Neither did he mention
the great Alger or Brother Abner, who spec
ulated in camp sites. When Candidate Eustis
writes another speech let him choose for a
text Truth" and adhere to the things that
at least have a semblance Of the subject in
them. Respectfully, H c. Irdla.
