Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1899-03-01


The Granite Falls Tribune SAYS the
money problem was solved for all time
1896. Now will Putin am please give
us=the solution. He cannot do it and
the party behind him cannot do it for
the very good reason that nothing at
oil was solved at that time. We call
his attention to the fact that $500, 600
people voted for bimetallism without
waiting for the consent Of other .coun-
tries and that !, 1000, 900 voted for it as
soon as we can get the leading nations
to consent and that Puts own party
pledged itself to promote international
bimetallism in convention, but has
broken that pledge ever since it came
into power. If the money question
was settled in 1896, why did the senate
afterwards vote for, and the house
against the Matthews resolution which
declares that the debts of this nation
can be honestly paid in standard sill
yer dollars? Can you point to one
single act of congress since Mckinley
became president that confirms your,
statement that the money problem was
then settled for all time.

IN THE HANDS OF SCHEMERS.
Herman Enterprise: ~. r..
. The Odd Fellows Accident Insur-
ance Company of ST. Paul seems to be
in q very peculiar condition. The
president and other officers of the con-
Germ claim to have resigned four years
ago, at which time they believed the
business to be dissolved, yet the busi-
ness has been continued in their names
and. without their knowledge, their
signatures beaffixed by rubber stamps,
IN fac smile. Annual reports of the
business of the concern have been fled
regularly excepting the report of 1898,
which did not appear and which leads
to an investigation that is likely to go
hard with some parties. -.

r. THE TRUST OF TRUSTS.
Silver Knight Watchman:
The owners of one hundred and fifty
billions of bonds against the nations
and people of the earth constitute a
worldwide money trust, which has
dictated legislation on the money
question to all nations for more than
thirty years. This trust is the. parent
and master of all other trusts.

ON THE SUBJECT OF TWINE. -.
3 The tWine should be kept by the
state until the farmers call for it, and
" shopla be- sold to them without pros
lit to the state. Mi 8.
The practice of collecting hundreds
of thousands of dollars OF profit on
Irvine must discontinue and the Irvine
must be kept on hand subject to the
orders of the farmers for they alone
know when they need it and when they
are ready to pay for it.
The state-which in q taxing sense
Is the farmers, can better afford to
carry over some Irvine than can the
farmers afford to pay dealer big pros
fits for handling it-Fergus Globe.
There is a sharp point in Editor
Boen's comment on the Irvine question.
Why is it absolutely necessary that
every pound Of Irvine be disposed of
every season? A big surplus of Irvine
on hand at the states prison available
at any time to the farmers will be the
best protection against trust prices.
No one dare say that the state cannot
afford to keep an ample supply on
hand for direct sale to. the farmers.
