He is a plain, sensible gentleman,
easily approached by anybody,

for the esteem in which he is held
is his unfailing fealty to his con

She For SO years any man who hap
peied to be elected governor of New

presidential proportions AS a grower

somewhat about American presidents
and have endeavored with unprcjudiced

sion is that if Bland was not as great as

our generation. II we wait for a presi-
dent till the equal Of any member OF

to have a long interregnum.
AS scholar Bland did not rank with
Madison, John Quincy Adams or Gar
feld. He was not a soldier, as were
Washington, Jackson, Taylor and Grant.
He was not so much of Chesterfield
as Pierce or Arthur. As manipulation
he was not in it with Martin Van Buren,.
But in common sense, which, after all
is the best sense, he had had no superior
among our chief magistrates.
He had more intellect than Monroe,
Van Buren,. William Henry Harrison,
Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce,

Bland was honest as the day is long,
plain as an old shoe, artless as child
and knew no such word as fear. Ii he
had been elected president, he would
have restored the government to the
ton devoutly to be wished. He would
have recalled the truly Democratic days
when Jefferson rode to the capitol,
hltched his horse to a sapling and
walked in among the bepowdered and
becued magnates to be sworn in as presi-
dent and when Old Hickory smoked his
corncob pipe in the White House.

worn by Missouri farmers. But it was
not to be. Bland was the Moses of the
free silver hosts. The. great Nebraskan
is their Joshua. History repeating it
self, Bland was permitted to look into
but not to possess the promised land.
There can nowhere be found scintilla
of evidence that he ever regretted the

but that the defeat Of the Chicago plat
form in November, 1896, had much to
do with his declining health, for he had
passed the halcyon period OF youth,
when hope springs eternal in the human
breast.
In everything touching his character
Bland was particular even to fastidious-
ness. When his Colorado admirers pre-
sented him will, a silver service so mag
nificcnt as to make ones mouth water
merely to look upon it, he declined the
gift with thanks. thereby avoiding the
very appearance OF evil; but when, at the
silver wedding of himself and wife, his
Missouri colleagues in house and senate,
Democrats and Republicans, presented
them with a handsome silver souvenir
OF their affections he gladly and think

ST. Paul, June 26, 1899.
Wages are going up they tell us,
when we complain Of the Republican,
trust-lnaking policy. Let us see how
the Trust can afford to increase wages
and how they do not in fact benefit la
Dor. A trust is composed, let us say, Of
20 concerns. They each employed $50
hands. earning $500 year on the aver
age, and rs more expensive help or
travelling statesmen averaging $4,000 a
year. The aggregate is 5000 hands
earning $2,5oo,ooo and 500 office men
earning 100000; grand total of the
pay rolls, $3,5oo,ooo. If OH completing
the combine it is determined to reduce
the force of hands ne-fourth-often it
is more-it cuts the remaining payroll
down to $I,S75,ooo. Only one in 10, say,
of the office and travelling force is re-
tanned, the roll of the remaining so
amounting to 100000. Total OF the
remaining payrols, $1,o7s,ooo. How
much then, has the trust saved by the
combine? Why the difference between
the. former payroll and the remaining.
$I,775,ooo. Eve will increase wages"
says the Trust, and it does so, paltry
10 per cent This will require $1o7. 500
and this can be paid out OF what has
been saved by the combine on wages
alone and have $I,577,ooo remaining!
Not only has an army Of unemployed
been turned loose, but the price OF the
product has been raised, as in the case
OF barbed wire, from $I.75 to $500 per
hundred within year!

round 100000 produce and prepare
products OF the earth in mines and
minerals; an equal number are engaged
in transportation and communication
nearly 100000 in machinery and metal
products. Who will deny that the
wages and other conditions OF this fully
one-fourth Of the total Of such laborers
in the United States are as much under
control OF the gigantic combinations
concerned as ever the blacks OF the
South were by their white masters?
Down with the trusts. Down with the
money trust.
Republican authorities disagree as to
the amount of money it cost the money
power to elect Mckinley, the figures
being all the way from 100000 to
$5o,ooo,ooo. Hanna publicly admits the
payment of $1,000, 900 for what he deem

said that he understood it was 100000.
cold Man Of the Sea" Grosvenor puts
it at $4,000, 900, and declares it will cost

speaks by the card. But whatever the
sum it came from the trusts, combines
and money power in general, which
knew it would receive the benefits OF

power is now going to pledge itself, in

tack, chewing gum, sardine and tooth
pick trusts, while Gladiator Mckinley

tators in the boxes are the railroad, the
