out destroying the union, he succeeded
in reducing their wages over SO per
cent, at the same time advancing the
price of coal, enough to make up twice
over every dollar he had expended in
the fight.
However" continues Hanna, 'if the
trusts are a menace to the country,
what party better than the Republic
can party can give relief?"
The trusts contributed twenty mil
lions of dollars t elect William Nc
Kinley. They will stand ready to con-
tribute another twenty million next
year for the privilege of writing the
answer to Mr.. Hannas question.
Where will the twenty millions come
frsm? A comparison of farm products
now and four years ago, with the prices
of trust products, for the same two
periods shows that the purchasing
power of what the farmer produces
has shrunk one-third. A similar COM
parison between the wages of working
men, even those employed by trusts,
and the products of the trusts, shows
an even greater shrinkage in the pur-
chasing power of wages. Wages have
scarcely recovered beyond the figures
which held when Mckinley took office.
Where is the advantage of either farm
er or working man If every slight ad-
vance which comes to either is more
than twice taken away by the ad-
vance in prices which the trusts exact?
The farmers and workmen are to be
robbed to create the fund which is to
be used for their further oppression.
There is one consolation The people
are going to know all about the trusts
and their methods by the time the
next campaign begins. Witnesses be-
fore the industrial commission have
been letting the cat out of the bag.
Nearly all of the trusts are organized
under the laws of New Jersey. Straw
men are put up whose names are used
to comply with the law, requiring a
certain proportion of the directors of
each corporation to be citizens of New
j ersey. Five men are named who rep
resent nearly two billion dollars cap
| ital embraced in seventy-five trusts
and fifteen hundred other corporations
One of the witnesses, James B. Dill
of New York, considered one of the
ablest authorities on corporation laws
in the United States, made the frank
prediction that before many years the
supreme court of the United States
would declare the charters of a large
majority of these law breaking, law
defying concerns null and void and re-
duce the statues of their stock holders
to that of ordinary partnerships.
Such a decision can never come til
the Democratic party has reformed the
supreme court and redeemed it from its
present corporation control and sym.
pathy, but when IL does come IL will
Iinaugurate one of the most sweeping
reforms which has ever brought free
dom to the people.
Speaking Of judges, Josiah r. Adams
candidate for judge of the superior
court, of Pennsylvania, on the Republi
can ticket, has been forced to with
draw from the ticket, because Of opeI
charges that he had been connected

tions which had swindled the peopl
Iof Pennsylvania and other states ou

The proposition to indorse Senator
Nelson in the next State convention,
originating with the St. Paul Dispatch,
and very generally taken up by the
press Of the State, seems to be in al
most unanimous favor among Republi-
cans and others. There is no doubt
that such action will be taken, that it
will be the means of much good COM
ing to the party there can be no doubt.
We do not believe that such action is
at all essential to the reelection of
Senator Nelson, but we do believe that
it is form of Endorsement to which he
is justly entitled by the character of
his services in the senate and by the
ordinary rules and usages of the party

HON. JOEL P. HEATWOLE, of North
field, has announced, with something
more of ostentatiOn than appears to be
required either by the Importance of
the announcement or the public inter-
est to be excited thereby, that he will
not be candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor in 1900. That
somehow recalls an incident of the
past which closely parallels this an
nouncement. 1t was made in 1872 by
Zeb Shields, a local politician in St.
Louis, who remarked, ''Well, if old
Grant wants to be president agin, and
the people want him, why durn it all I
reckon | won't stand in his way"

THE Appleton Press wonders that
any Republican can ''deny that Sena-
tor Nelson was guilty of traitorous
hypocrisy in becoming a candidate for
the senate in opposition to Washburn!"
Where the Press ever got any such
idea as that is one of the mysteries
that must remain unsolved along with
the identity of the man who struck
Billy Patterson, and other equally in
volved propositions. Nelson was a
candidate against Washburn because
he wanted to be United States senator,
because he had perfect ri ght to be
and incidentally because whole lot OF
Republican senators and representa-.
tives did not want to and would not
vote for Washburn.

IN connection with the proposition
that Gov. Lind draw upon the treas
ury for money to bring the Thirteenth
regiment home, the Martin County
Sentinel says: ''Gov. Lind was elected
to stand between the people and the
gang that has been looting the State
treasury" This is rather cheap way
of getting little political advertising
out Of something that didn't happen.
Nobody has been looting the State
treasury in connection with the Thir-
teenth regiment and there isn't any
chance for Gov. Lind to stand between
anybody and it. The governor simply
preferred that the troops should be
brought home by fund raised by pri-
vates subscription and refused to do his
part towards bringing them home at
the States expense. There was no
"supterfuge," but a plain business
proposition that the troops, belonging
to Minnesota, should be brought hd2he
by Minnesota. Gov. Lind, thought
they shouldn't and that's all there is
to it.

At the regular council meeting last
Monday evening it was decided to have
the electric light poles wound with
wire to protect them from the damage
which will result if people persist in

them and by the careless handling OF
herds of cattle and horses within the

THERE should be no misapprehen-
sion as to the purpose of the efforts to
bring the Thirteenth regiment home.
The government has allowed the men
ample money for the expense neces-
sary to return them to the point where
they enlisted, and the movement to
raise fund for them is in the nature
of personal donation, the idea being
that the boys having served abroad so
long and undergone such privations
are entitled to little more than their
technical, legal rights. The govern
ment has been in no way negligent of
them but on the contrary has been
quite generous and disposed at all
times to be fair and liberal with them.

THE grannies Of the Thirteenth's
auxiliary fear that the reception of
that regiment will be a repetition of
the hospitality extended to the Twelfth
and Fourteenth, when the society peo-
pie took the work off the hands Of the
relatives. The boys won't care a
whoop who does the work and the
grannies are making themselves ridic-
ulous. The general public will be re-
lieved when the regiment returns and
the auxiliary is forced to disband. ~

A Bad Fire.

Tuesday afternoon two barns and a
granary on the old Milt Smith farm
now owned by L. S. Libby were de-
stroyed by fire, together with their
contents. The fire, which is said to
have caught either in the horse barn
or in the straw stack, had made such
Roadway before it was discovered that
it was impossible to save anything.
Two horses persisted and so tons of
hay, 2S0 bushels of wheat, $50 bushels
of oats, farming tools, etc., we're de-
stroyed. The farm was rented this
year by Leon Bergeron. Neither
Libby nor his tenant were insured and
everything is a total loss,

TINE FOR REFLECTION.

1t must be evident to the Republican
press Of this State that it is time to
call halt on the rule or ruin policy
pursued by certain party leaders, for
the accidents and occurrences of the
last two campaigns demonstrate the
inevitable consequences of control by
such influences and interests. If the
Republican party of Minnesota cannot
live unless few coddled interests may
thrive, it is high time for some one to
make protesting reference. That Re-
publican interests in this State are
menaced more from influences within
than without the party, and it is the
duty of every one who believes in Re-
publican doctrines and has the welfare
of the party at heart to make a pro-
test and objection, at least to the ex-
tent of limiting the fault.-Morris S,to

GIVE 'EM THE GLAD HAND

The Dispatch's suggestion, made some
weeks ago, that the next State conven-
ton indorse Senator Nelson as a mat
ter of course, has been generally COM
mented upon by the Republican press
of Minnesota, and, so far, as we have
noted, without one to oppose it,, AS
the Princeton UNION and some others
have pointed out, such action, while
not essential to Senator Nelson's re-
election, would be vastly beneficial to
the Republican party, and it was with
this in mind that the original sugges-
tion was made. The party needs all OF
Senator Nelson's friends, and will have
them, but it should give them the glad
hand on the first occasion, and that &C.
casion will be at the State convention.

GOLDEN GRAIN VS.. SILVER TALK.
"Coin" Harvey, who is engaged in
the thankless task of passing the hat
around in Nebraska, is not doing very
well. Thirty days of speech-making
has only been able to lure the COM
paratively small sum of So, 72O from the
pockets of the farmers, and Harvey is
said to be very discouraged at the
small attendance at his lectures.s The
fact Of the matter seems to be,says the
Lakefeld Standard, that the farmers
have been too busy harvesting really
good crop. Facts and figures are
stronger than fancy and fiction, and
golden grain is better than silver ora
tory.-Aitkin Age.
