tration.
The former chief grain. Inspector ter
minated his services with the depart-
ment about Aug. 1, 1898. 40 that during
the first seven months Of Gov. Ind 'a
term OF office he was IA ostensible
charge OF the department., although a
number Of changes and appointments
were made for him for which he was
not responsible. I draw attention to-
this IN order to show that no fair conn
parison can be made between the last
year and the preceding year, as the
term OF the Repub lican chief inspector
overlapped the first year Of Gov Lind e.
adminis ion.
The only fair comparison is one be-
tween the last full year. when inspect
or Clausen held Office under q Repub-l
lican governor, and the full year dur
Ing which Inspector Reishus has held
office under q Democratic governor,
that Is, between the years ct 1898 and
1900.
i. wish to be absolutely fair with our
opponents, and for that reason will
quote a few figures from the Fifteenth
Annual Report Of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissionersfo for the year
ending Nov. 80, 1899, which was made
by Chief Grain Inspector n s.. Reishus.
The figures for 1900 were taken from
the reports Of Mr.. Reishus to the state
auditors Office. These figures show
that the expenses Of the grain inspec-
| tion department for the crop years
ending Aug. 81. were as follows:

1900 with those fo1 1898, that Isl, the first
full year OF Democratic csadministration
with the last full years Of Republican
administration Of the eSdepartmert,, IT is
seen. that the expenses of grain In
spection during 1900 exceed the 1898 ex.
kpenses by $16,274.47. /. If the cost OF the
board of grain appeals is added to the.
i 1900 expenses, this, excess IS Increased
to s3O, AZ over 1893. There were more
cars OF wheat inspected in 1898 than
were Inspected In 1900. yet the cost Of
inspection was greater by $16, ,274 Al, ex-
Guiding the board OF appeals, a.ld this
increased cost is sufficient to pay 20
additional employees 5000 per year each.
Whether or not the employees staff was
increased to that extent, ! am not pres
pared to say, but it could be done for
that amount OF money. sss
These figures do not bear out the
statement OF Gov. Lind that the so-
called Democratic reforms have been
carried out without Increased expendi-

Mr.. Dunn said: wa
Since the day OF its birth the destinies
Of the State OF Minnesota have been
controlled by the Republican party,
with the exception Of one or two briet
but memorable periods, when certain
departments Of the state government
fell into the hands of the Philistines.
But for these temporary alterations,
,.the history of Minnesota has been one
of steady progress and increasing pros
perity and growth until she stands to-
day, the foremost Of the grand galaxy;
of young Western states which in years
to come will form the heart Of the Re-
public.
So interviewer during the past forty
years has been the history of our state
and that Of the Republican party in
Minnesota, that the history of-one is
the history Of the other. Their stories
, cannot be separated or read apart.
We are all proud of our state. proud
of its growth, proud OF its strength and
greatness, proud of its reputation. No
Minesotian can be ashamed Of his
state, for it's escutcheon is unstained
and 1t has nobly done its part in and
for the Union. 55

NOTHING TO FEAR.

Bradstreet's, the most radical
gold standard paper in the United
States, and the favorite pet and
protector of trusts, has this to say
of the republican national platform,
concerning these two menaces:
1t renews it's allegcnce to the princi-
pie of the gold standard, and declares
it's steadfast opposition to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, no measure
looking to which end could, it says, be
considered without the consent OF the
leading commercial nations Of the
world The convention does not, how
ever, propose this end, even With the
consent of other nations, and the ignis
fatuus of international bimetallism
thus fades out of our politics
The declaration about trusts is con-
sentative. The convention recognizes
the necessity and propriety of the hon
est cooperation of capital to meet new
business conditions. and especially to
extend our rapidly increasing foreign
trade, but it condemns all conspiracies
and combinations intended to restrict
business.
1t strains at gnat, in it's efforts
to show than any kind of a trust is
legitimate The only necessity or
propriety'' for them Is to squeeze
the people, and according to Brad
streets, the republicans favor them.
The democratic platform will be
outspoken on all forms Of trusts, no
matter what they profess 70 be
formed for, and if the democrats
had no other plank to stand on
they can win with this one.
