TIE RACE PROBLEM.

Some of the small caliber repub-

Of the southern states. This is simp.

WHO SETS the PRlCE7

In our trade with the world, who
sets the price on our exports?
England, as the clearing house or
credit center of the business world,
sets the price,.
How do you know?
Taking sample case and follow it.,
like a wild beast, to it's lair. Grain is
chief export. A farmer comes to
the station with ten wagonloads, or a
carload of wheat Does he fix the
price?
No.
He asks the price?
Yes.
OF whom?
The grain buyers.
How does she" get it?
BY telegram from Chicago.
How does Chicago fix the price for
the buyer and the farmer?
Chicago gets it from New York.
How does New York fix the price
Of wheat for Chicago, for the elevator
man and the farmer?
New York Board of Trade gets it
by cable from London, where it starts
at ten O'Clock in the morning and low
ing to the difference in time) it reach
es New York and is repeated through
Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis,
Omaha, to Boggtown crossroads be-
fore ten O'Clock the same day.
How does London fix the price for
New York, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Omaha, and Boggtown crossroads?
All the nations of the world owe

AIDING The LAWLESs.

County Attorney Clement will next
week commence Gov. Lind's case
against the United States Express Co.
The complaint will tal]ege failure to
maintain general Office in this state,
to pay the special tax and comply with
other requirements of the law. The
suit, of course, will amount to nothing,
except to pile up few hundred doll
ars expense against the county, and
give Lind little cheap notoriety just
before election time.-Albert Lea
Times.
The above is sample of the opposi-
| ton Gov. Lind has to contend against
whenever and wherever he undertakes
to execute the laws and bring the great
corporations to justice.
There are no greater robbers in the
country than the express companies.
They charge the most exorbitant rates.
They have a combine so that there is
no competition and the entire country is
at their mercy. They fight in the legis-
lature and in the courts with all the
power and ability money can purchase,
every effort to make them pay any
taxes whatever. They hire the best
lawyers and in many cases own the
judges.
Gov. Lind, in order to get out OF the
corporation atmosphere, commences
an action in Freeborn county to compel
the insolent lawbreakers to pay their
taxes the same as other people do of
their own free will. The Times, a
trucking organ of Hannaism, uses its
power amongst its republican readers
to prejudice those who are likely to be
called as jurymen against the state
administration and defeat the ends of
justice. Gov. Lind has had up hill
work to accomplish anything in the
face of such an unscrupulous opposi-
tion, and it is only persistency, tact
and thorough knowledge of the law
that has enabled him to force the great
taxdodgers to bear q part of the public
burdens. ~t ~- .#..~. i ~~,-
The Times should be ashamed of the
manner in which it has pre-judged the
case and taken up the cause Of lawless-,
ness.-Fairmont Sentinel.

pany borrows money from the First
National bank (now watch the entire
closely), and pays the
farmer the cash. Instead of following
the grain. through the Chicago, De-
trOit and New York boards of trade,
let US jump all these, and suppose the
Omaha Elevator company sells the
grain directly on the London Board
of trade. (The result is the same and
the transaction is cleared of confus-
ing transfers and details.) Does the
Omaha Elevator company get the cash?
1t does not. The holders Of the Oma:
ha bonds have clipped the interest
coupons and deposited them with the
Board of Trade clearing house for
collection. When the Omaha wheat
is sold on the London Board of Trade
the clearing house pays the cash to
the bondholder for his interest cou-
pons and gives the coupons to the
Omaha Elevator company. Upon the
arrival of the coupons the Elevator
company calls at the Office of the city
treasurer and gets the money for the
coupons: and now it can repay it's
loan from the First National bank,
and the entire transaction is complete.
In this recital it appears that the
"bank" was necessary factor in ad.
vancing the funds to pay the farmer,
but If we examine a little farther we
find something quite interesting. The
city Levied tax on her citizens to pay
the INTEREST" on those bonds. She
had the q noney on hand months before
the coupons were presented and she
did not want to the people to see clear
ly the whple inwardness of the deal
by which we pay tribute or taxes to
Europe, ls they would see it if the
city treasp prer bought wheat with tax
money, a nd sent it to London to re-
deem interest coupons, so the city
deposits T" the tax money in the bank;
the bank loans the mon,y to the ele-
vator company, and when they pre-
sent the cPupons to the city treasurer
he checks Ion the "deposit," and the
whole thing is balanced on bank
books and the banker has had "inter-
est' too pr his part as go-between
in the game.
How long will Europe set the price
on your products?
AS long as you owe her.
How long will you owe her?
AS long las you refuse to coin money
to pay her off and cancel the debt.
How long will you refuse to coin
money an{ pay the debt?
AS longIas you want further "con-
sent.'' Tley have the system fixed to
suit them Exactly now, and we need
never MEYER, look for "them" VOL
UNFAIRLY tp abandon system that
makes US hewers of wood and draw
ers of wa1r" for them.

The men who had the interests Of the
south at heart were disqualified for
holding Office. Unscrupulous politi-
clans from the north held the Offices.
The illiterate negroes kept them there
after the reconstruction just because
they called themselves republicans.
Public affairs we're grossly misman-
aged, enormous taxes laid, debts piled
up mountain high, capital kept out on
account of taxes, and everything at a
standstill. This condition drove all
the whites into:the opposite party, and
the natural antipathy between the
races became bitter hatred. The
laws disfranchising the negroes are
the outgrowth of this feeling. We re-
gret the existence of this race hatred
but neither republicans nor any other
party can change it. It can only be
outgrown by the education of the ne
gro. 1t must he remembered that it is
only the negro who cannot read that
is disfranchised. 1t depends there
fore on the negro himself how long
this disfranchiseme6t shall last If
he is in earnest in his desire to be-
come voter he can soon acquire the
qualification.
Nor is the democratic party entirely
responsible for this legislation. The
republican papers are now claiming
North Carolina as a doubtful state.
They say, and say truly, that large
numbers of whites were democrats be-
cause the negroes were republicans.
and now that the negroes are tempor-
arily eliminated from politics these
whites will vote the republican ticket.
1t appears according to this that the
republicans of the South haye voted
against their political convictions in
order to beat the negroes. Are they
not then far worse than the democrats? =?
One thing more; the constitution
provides that where any voters are
disfranchised for any other reason
than on account of crime the repre-
tation of the state shall be reduced
proportion ately. For nearly four
years this provision has stared Me-
kinley and a republican congress in
the face, but they have not done any,
thing to carry it out. If the coustitu-
tion has been disregarded it has been
done by McKinley's party. The re-
publicans would do we'll to say as
little as possible concerning this
matter.
The North has shown no more in
clination towards the negro in poll
tics than the South has done. Eight
years ago negro happened to be
placed on the electoral ticket in our
state, but it caused such row that he
was bulldozed into Withdrawing tc
