used in Illinois. Is there any civilized
land on earth where capital does not
expect to pay its just share of taxation

draw from to 10 or 20 per cent for

ONE GOOD DEED.

While the fusionists are blackguard-
ing Gov. Lind because he will not or
cannot give them all fat onices, we take
pleasure In chronicling one good thing
he has done.
Gov. Lind takes exception to the predic-
ton Of certain leading citizens Of the Twin
Cities that the wheat crop of Minnesota for
the present year will reach SO, 000. 900 bushels
or more He takes 1t that such q statement
sent broadcast over the land has q bearish
tendency and docs the farmers Of the state
an injustice.
Good for you. governor. For IS years
this game has been played on the farm
ers, and you are the first governor that
has ever entered protest against it. It
has cost the wheat producers of this
state millions of dollars.
Our crop is not a big one this year.
Read this:
The following is a report of the condition
of the wheat crop along the 500 road from
Minneapolis to the Canadian boundary as
gathered from the station agents who have
reported on the story told by the thrasher.
In most instances not over 10 per cent of
the crop has been thrashed. The reports
In detail follow:
Lowry-No thrashing; wheat bleached
and low grade.
Barrett-wheat 81 to Is bushels; graded
Nos. 2 and 3.
Nashua-Grade No. northern; IA bushels.
Tenny-No. 2 grade. Is to II bushels.

Fullerton-No. 2 northern; to 9 bushels
Kilbernie-No. 8; Z bushels.

Napoleon-Eight bushels.
This is sample.
If we had a grain growers association
we might be able to collect facts as to
crops, and spread them all over the
world, and counteract the effect of the
lies. But that little scamp, Eric Olson,
busted that up. May he have no cause
to complain of the quality of the coal in
the next world; and may he have a
mountain of it on top of him sizzling

TO RETIRE GnnnnBAoxs.


Controller DAVIS Talks Of = Plan for
That Purpose.
CHICAGO. Aug. so.-comptroller of the
Currency Dawes. in Chicago. yesterday,
speaking Of currency reforms. said:
1T Is my opinion that congress at the
next session will pass the house caucus bill
now In the hands Of the senate finance
committee. which embodies the presidents
recommendations on q gold reserve fund.
OO0. 900 in gold will be set aside a. = fund for
the redemption Of greenbacks. The effect
of this will be to place about $125, 0OO, 900
between US and danger of trouble, It
amounts to putting the currency Of the
country on a gold basis and cannot be con-
trued any other way. It Is not q contrac-
ton of the currency or q retirement of
greenbacks, as some Democrats argue, be-
cause for every greenback turned into the
treasury an equivalent In gold Is issued
and put into circulation.
The condition Of the banks the country
over Is more prosperous than it has ever
been. and especially in tho West and South.
This is due to good crops which have re-
suited in the liquidation Of many farm
debts, and to the genral prosperity of the
country.
The Peoples party has for years de-
clared that it was the purpose OF the
Republican party, under the lead Of the
bankers, to destroy our greenbacks.
The foregoing shows we were true
prophets. The next session of congress
is to do the deed-unless the dread Of
the presidential election In 1900 forces
them to postpone it until 1901. But
sooner or later it must come, II the g.
o. P. remains in power.
And why this fight against green
backs?
The answer is plain: They were
originally paid out to our soldiers and
sailors, or to government employees or
contractors. They cost the people
nothing but the tenth of a cent for
printing them. AS they wore out, new
ones were substituted, and still they
cost the people the tenth of cent, even
when they represented ten dollars or
a hundred dollars.
The national bank note is an entirely
different thing. It never passed the
bankers counter until some one, on the
other side of it, handed over his note

DEBTS AND BORE INTEREST FROM
THE TIME 1T ENTERED INTO CIR
CULATION, AND 1T WILL REPRE-

AS LONG AS 1T EXISTS.
And now the Republicans are about
to wipe out the greenbacks. which bear
no interest, and have the nation behind
them, and put in their place the prom
ises of individuals secured by a govern
ment bond, called national bank notes.
And now it is proposed to destroy the
Peoples party, which defends the green
backs, and all go into the Democratic
party, which proposes to redeem them
in gold and silver, while the Republican
party proposes to redeem them in gold
alone. And that is the difference be-
tween "tweedle-dum" and "tweedle-
dee.'> I'D.
