11ght money causes stock lies at
loss, says the current Wall Street re-
port. Tight money" is manufactured
at will by the bankers. They made a
panic in 1898 under Cleveland's sug-
gestion, to kill silver. They make it
now to increase interest, for did not the
rate for call money double in day?
And speaking of banking, promi-
nent ex-banker said, in commenting on
gold standard low interest: Men in
legitimate banking now have my SYM
pathy. Neither our state nor savings
banks are making dollar, and they
cannot while interest and discount are
so low. How can they compete with
the national banks, with the govern
ment actually furnishing them capital
to loan out, equal to the amount of
bonds they deposit and pays them inter-
est on the bonds besidesr'
Judge Steele has had the Republican
state central committee together once
more without setting the world turning
the other way, but not without the
usual ''break" being made. This time
there were several, one to in
crease the power of the Republican
bureau to do harm, and the other said
to be in having invited ex-Weighmaster
G. M. Reese of Hennepin to make re-
port on the Swedes of Hennepin. The
judge will not have another until Sep
tember, owing to the engagements of
Tams Bixby, Goodnow, Byrnes and

The State Dairy and Food Depart
: ment does not let up a minute in it's de-
termined efforts for protection of the
dairy interests and producers Of food
articles. The II manufacturers Of oleo-
margarine, backed by SAG, 1000, 900 of
trust money, have doubled their prod
uct within the last year, tons on tons of
which come into this state to rob the
farmer and dairyman. The Depart
ment is relentlessly pursuing the adul.
terators of lard, with the determina-
tion, if possible, to drive every pound
of the bogus stuff out of Minnesota
There is not great corporation operat-
ing this stuff in the state bat has been

lard have got to go.
J The Republican bureau letter did not
i like Governor Lind's Fourth of July
comment on the Philippine war that
the killing off of the liberty loving Fill
pinos is bad business" IT the Repub-
licans do not think it is ''bad business. -
let them wait till the boys come home
and see what they say. And the gov
ernor was also right in saying that the
masses Of the people pay the war ex.
penses, and the rich will reap the only
benefits Of the new colonial policy.
The people pay war expenses every
time they turn round;. whenever they
make deed, or mortgage, or con.
tract, draw money from the bank o1
send a telegram. If you are not in the
habit of doing either, in these gold
standard times of trust prosperity, Just
try it in sending a message by the tele
graph monopoly. The stamp they re-
quire you to put on or pay for is you1
contribution to our imperial policy.
Some fat and sleek officers from For
Smelling, though hiding their names
criticise Governor Lind, and seek t.
throw the blame of loss Of a North
western recruiting station on the Gov
ernor. It is more likely that the un
popularity of Emperor McKinley's wal
IS the true reason Fort Smelling wa,
dropped. It is sad if the said fat ani
sleek do not like Lind, for the people
who feed them do.
H. L. Chaffee Of Minneapolis is or
ganizing the commercial travellers
against the trust prosperity, (which ha:
turned so many Of the ''ubiquitous'' ou
in the cold. Things are vastly differ

Chaffee warned his brethren then, bu
they would not. Now they would.
Senator Knute Nelson should be ex
peditious with that Cass Lake job. He
is going to be very busy man little
later on.
Accidental omission of word by the
printer and proof reader in the last let
ter made it say that the savings bank
in St: Paul closed by the bank public
examiner had but $780, "otherwise
available" The omitted word was
''immediately." The truth was that
not more than 10 cents on dollar of i'm
mediate liabilities was on hand, and YET
great public servants like The Pioneer
Press denounce the action of the exam
liner and Governor Lind, in discharglng
their sworn duty to protect the public
