You may drive the farmer down, 80 he

not eat coal: daughter and prolonged
applause.) You can drive the farmer
down 50 that he cannot buy factory made
goods, but his wife can do like the wife of
Old-make the clothing for the family off
of the farm-but when you close your fac
wealth of the cities to feed your starving
men, made starving by your vicious,
greedy, avar1cious legislature. (Ap-
plause.)
"But, my friends, why should we try to
see who can hold out the longest in suf-
fering? Why try to SEQ who can endure
the most hardships and yet live? Why
not try to see who can contribute most to
the greatness and to the glory and to the
prosperity Of this nation9"
why, those who can contribute most
should make this government what the
fathers intended. For 100 years this
nation has been the light of the world.
For 100 years the best Of all nations have
looked to this nation for hope and instruc-
tion."
"Where we recognize that man has his
rights and can defend them, he must also
respect the rights of others. Let US show
tual practice those great doctrines Of hu-
man equality and Of equal rights and
make this government what the fathers
intended, so that We shall lead the world,
step by step, onto higher ground"
The banks of Minnesota are so pros.
porous under the gold standard, that
their return of property for taxation
this year is s., 600, 900 less than one year
ago. This is official, as presented by
the bo ard of equalization.
By the way, since the present board
refused to raise the bank valuations
people are expressing surprise at the
attitude of the board and wondering
what it is going to do anyhow. People
should remember that after all the
present board is one-half what the old
one was. That is, one-half of the old
members hold over, those from the
even numbered judicial districts.
Therefore, instead of there being full
assurance that distinctive and genuine
reforms in matters of taxation will be
accomplished this year, there is only
one-half ground for hope. The people
are watching the good half, however,
very closely, and as in the old battle
days, expect every imam to DO his
duty"
The Republicans are getting on with
labor. In Idaho and Illinois it stands
at the point of McKinley's bayonets.
In Indiania outrages on the Mine Work
ers have caused appeals that will reach
its membership, now 1.OO0,0OO strong.
In Ohio the organized bodies, one after
another, are declaring for the Mclean
ticket, while the Federation of Labor,
of which Mr.. Gompers is the able
head, stands as unit on the leading
questions of the day, opposed to Re-
publican policies, domestic and foreign.
Labor should line up solid in 1900
against the G. o. P, and there is every
indication that it will.
Those conducting the Republican re-
ception to President Mckinley will do
we'll to remember the fate of one Grover
Cleveland, once ''received" at Minneap.
oils, and thereupon defeated for re-
election, and also that of one Andy
johnson who swung round tho circle,
and looked worse than 80 cents when it
was all over.
The dairy and food department keeps
right after the food adulterators. Vim,
victory and good vinegar is blazoned on
the department banner.
In the "open" season now on reports
from all over the state credit the game
and fish wardens, under Chief Agent
Beutner, with efficient and energetic
enforcement of the law. That depart

FRY" this season ever produced in the
history of the state commission.
Ex-Congressman Towne is on the
briny, Fastening home for the fall
political battles. His journalistic Ia
bors, however, will detain him for some
days after arrival, and he may not be
able to get into the campaigns before
Oct. IL to Is.
The veterans returned from Philadel-
phia do not tire of saying good things
of c. F. Kindred, formerly of the Min
nesota "Bloody Fifth" who is now gen.
eral manager of the Reading railroad.
They say, politically, that &C. F." is
likely to succeed Quay, in the United
States senate. G.. s. G.
