MR.. KERN's SPEECH.

Tn subject on the programme assigned to
Mr.. Kern was: 1.-THE Land. the Day, the Oc-
casion" Mr.. Kern at once established the
best of feeling with the hearers by saying
that he had never heard of the subject be-
fore, and declaring that he had indicated
over the telephone to the committee on what
subject he would talk. What kind of a
damage suit, " he said, II would ask OF those
disciples of Blackstone sitting before me-, do
you think 1 had better institute against the
telephone company for failing to record my
message correctly?
1T seems appropriate that on this cele-
bration of the anniversary of the first Pres
ident of the United States, you should also
celebrate the selection of the first president
OF the university, Rev. Burris A. Jenkins.
l congratulate the city, the university, the
students, l congratulate you all that you
have secured the services of q young man,
faithful to his profession and loyal to his
government, who will devote himself to the
university, go that it's work and effort will
add to the proud fame of the city. [Loud
applause There is nothing that can be in
PRODUCED into a community that can freshen
1t up like one thousand clear-headed, bright
eyed men n women who are there to
study. The student with his college yell and
innocent fun has a tendency to loosen up
the old fossils.
we are here to celebrate the birthday
of the father of his country. Tt is a hundred
years since George Washington died. 1t is
a century since the lamp of his life went
out and we ought to felicitate ourselves on
the conditions we find ourselves in at the
end of the first century"
He told how welcome the flag is every
where and how it's thirteen stripes and few
stars ave been added to until nov there
are forty-five stars in the blue field. The
people Of America" said he, can and do
lay aside party differences n forget all
narrow things and assemble on the exalted
plane Of advancing the glory of a common
country. 1t is a matter of felicitation that
we have such q public temper that after
a prolonged and bitter political struggle in
which more than $500, 900 people cast their
votes for one man, the wires should bear
such a message. i hasten to extend my
congratulations. The people have been heard
and their will is law. (Signed) William Jen-
nings Bryan And then Immediately came
the response, I acknowledge your message
with thanks and beg you will receive my
best wishes for your health and happiness.
(Signed) William Mckinley II contrasted
this spirit with that manifesting itself in
France at this moment. Mr.. Kern said that
in such a presence IL would be out of place
to undertake to talk at length about Wash
ington, with whose history every schoolboy
is familiar. He said hat recently he had
seen able articles in the press trying TO
prove that Washington was not a Demo-
Graf. II thank God" said Mr.. Kern, that
George Washington was not a Democrat,
and that he was not a Republican. l am
sure he was not a Populist and no one Will
claim that he was a Prohibitionist. l thank
God that George Washington was above all
partisanship."

PROTECTION AND TRUSTS.

Bro. Wharton wants the populists
to explain why the tariff is blamed for
the rise of trusts, while some of the
biggest trusts have no protection. He
instances the Standard Oil Company
and the American Book Company.
We shall cheerfully furnish him lit
tie information on the subject.
The purpose of trust is to stop
competition and thus maintain higher
prices. In order to do this it must
have protection of some kind from
foreign competition; otherwise as soon
as the trust raised prices above the
European markets, plus the cost o1
transportation, the foreigners would
begin to compete with them. This
probationary be either natural OF
artificial. Take the iron industry, for
instance. Without tariff protection
a trust in that would be an Impossible
lity, as it would have to take in all
the iron manufacturers of England,
Scotland, Belgium, Germany, France,
anh Austria-an undertaking too stu
pendous to be thought of seriously.
This is one instance where the tariff
fosters gigantic trust.
The Standard Oil Company has, by
unjust alliances with the railroads,
frozen out competition, and obtained
control of all the petroleum fields of
the western hemisphere. They have
only one formidable competitor in
the world-the Nobel company, of
Russia. But the Nobels are hampered
by the enormous cost of transporting
the oil from the regions of the Caspian
Sea to the European markets.. They
have no home market, while the Stan
dard has it's best markets near home.
The result is that it is crowding the
Nobels out of the western European
markets, and of course has no oppo-
sition from them in America. This is
IS case where. natural protection
renders artificial protection unnecessa-
ry. If the Standard had needed pro-
lection it would have received it. It
has secured protection for the numer-
GUS valuable by-products of petroleum.
The reason is, that the same products
are obtained by the destructive distil-
lation of coal in manufacturing illum-
mating gas, and enormous amounts
of them are produced in Europe.
The American Book Company man.
ufactures books for the American
schools. OF course no civilized land
imports it's school books. They must
be written by persons thoroughly con-
versant with the methods of the schools
they are intended for. In order to
get amoment's consideration an Amer
lean school book must be written by
some well-known American teacher.
This is another case of natural pro-
lection.
Reduce the tariff, and you reduce
the power of all trusts not having a
natural protection against foreign
competition.

Great Northern Grievances.

Grand Forks Herald, Sept. 80.
Between designations and dismissals
there are more changes going on on
the Great Northern just now than the
average man can keep track of.
The recent order requiring condnc-
tors to give bonds for the faithful per-
formance of duty is a cause of friction
between employe and management
According to this order all conduct
ors are required to furnish bonds for
81 900 each, the cost of such bond to
be paid by the conductors. A passen-
ger conductors bond costs $40 per
annurh, and a freight conductors
is S.. There has been a very general
protest on the part of conductors
against this order, especially from
freight conductors who claim that if
they furnish the required bonds they
will be made personally responsible
for every triding error and that their
salaries will be materially reduced by
the inroad made upon them in this
way.
So far as the conductors on the
northern division are concerned most
of them seem to be inclined to submit
to the new regulation and furnish the
required bonds. On the Dakota d.
vision it is different. Ten freight cou-
ductors have absolutely refused to
furnish bonds, and have resigned their
positions, their resignations becoming
effective Oct. l.
Another disturbing element exists in
the alleged employment of ''hobo de-
tectives." Freight conductors are Of
course forbidden to receive money
from hoboes, or to carry them at all
without orders. Correctly or incor-
rectly there is an idea prevalent that
it is the practice of some conductors
to carry passengers of this class at
greatly reduced rates, and to put the
money in their own pockets. In order
to ascertain the extent to which this
alleged custom prevails the company
is said to have employed number of
detectives or spoilers who travel, no.
DO fashion, up and down the road,
and to catch the conductors if possible
in the act of selling cheap trahsporta-
tion. It is stated that as a result of
this system of spotting a number of
conductors all along the line are to
lose their positions as soon as their
places can be filed by other men. r = j

"The Farmers Alliance has begun to
compete with the trust, and Mr.. Han
ley, in summing up it's work, says:

farmers elevators this season in Min
nesOta and the Dakotas, and it is es-
timated that they will get about 49,.

share. Usually about 100 farmers be-
come stockholders and pay for their
elev ator outright. Then they appoint

from the local bank $1,000 to 1000,
which il used to buy grain.
They pledge Themselves to sell
if they have q carload and they at.
tach a draft for three-quarters Of the
value of the grain in the car to the
bill of lading, and with this money
buy grain next day. Only on these
terms can commission firms receive
consignments. r.
''The ultimate object is to establish

to build three large terminal elevat-
ors, one each at Duluth, Minneapolis,

be built at Duluth soon, on ground
