And SO on.
Oh, yes, grades and reputation of Min
nesota wheat have been 'ruined" by the
present regime!
Said Bob Ingerson in his great speech
nominating Blaine at Cincinnati in 1875:
''For the first time since man kept
record of events the sky has arched
above and domed land beneath, that
holds neither serf, servant nor q
slave"
These words were uttered in his
speech attempting to show that the Re-
publican party, above all things, stood
for freedom and equality Of all men, of
all races and all creeds. This quotation
sounds beautiful under conditions as
they now exist. What Republican dares
quote Ingersoll's speech, in the face of
the fact that some of our new citizens
own ''slaves and harems galore" and
we poor devils lick the stamps to pay
the freight?
Brave Andrew Carnegie! The stand
that son of Scotland has taken for true
Americanism, redeems him from host
of sins he committed in aiding the cleo
ton Of Mckinley.
What swipe Carnegie gave the inn
perialists, when they charged him with
paying the cable tolls on Senator Hoar's
speech, to carry the same to Aguinaldo.
II did not do it," declared Mr.. Car
negie, ''because the Fiipinos did not
need the speech to inspire them. But I
would contribute the amount ($4,0O0),
to put the speech into the hands Of
Americans who should read it, and who
should follow the advice it contains"
While corn is also lower than a year
ago, wheat continues the ''Jim Dandy
for driving home the political lesson to
farmers. Wheat is now 10 cents per
bushel lower than the average January
price for the past five years, and cents
lower than the January average for 10
years past! And this, too, with short
crops and good foreign demand What
will be the result with big crops and
less foreign demand? How the farmers
must enjoy this gold standard, trust
ridden administration sway of the
money power
Hanna has made his first shout for
campaign money, to send men out "to
meet the labor agitators, says Hanna,
''who are at work in tho west" In the
same breath Hanna declares the pros
perity Of labor will be a chief issue in
the campaign. Labor is SO prosperous
that it needs campaign money to show
it how prosperous and contented it is.
Apropos, Hanna's gold standard, So
cent wheat prosperity has been con-
served by the trust Touring mills of
Minneapolis and Duluth shutting down,
discharging employees, and, in some
cases, boarding up the mill windows. For
explanation the management simply said
it was '*ordered from headquarters.
Are these the tsmokestacks'' that
were to so becloud the sky as to drive
the people to spectacles?
The indications are that the name
"American League" may be adopted to
embrace all the work of organization OF
the different forces that will unite u1l.
der one banner in this campaign. It i;
certainly more euphonious and less oh
jectionable than "anti," as applied t.
Imperialism and to the trusts, and alto
gether most suggestive and patriotic.
With that, and with the flag already
adopted as the Liberty symbol, the anti.
Republican forces will have the goppites
where the hair is short and the ski, -~~r:v
