Reports from Manila, p. l., are to
the effect that the hemp trust has
completely dissolved, its stock going
all to pieces. This means that the pro-
duction and sale of hemp from this
time on will be practically unrestrict-
ed and that the fancy prices which
have ruled for hemp, sisal, and other
fiber will go still lower than that now
In force. This means further reduc-
ton In the price of sisal for binding
Irvine and q still more certain and ex-
tensive loss upon the immense pile Of
sisal now on hand at the state prison,
which was bought at fancy prices dur
ing the brief interval when the trusts
had control and Gov. Lind and. Ward
en- Reeve bought 1000, 900 pounds Of the
stuff at the very highest price it had
ever reached. The indications are that
this product will go as low as &c per
pound and that the 100000 pounds Of
fiber now on hand at the state prison
will have to be manufactured into
Irvine at loss Of not less than &c q
pound to the state. This fiber Is there
and must be manufactured. 1t Cam
not be permitted to lie there and rot.
On the other hand the trusts and COM
mercial manufacturers are buying
their sisal at Just about half what the
prison authorities paid for theirs and
when this prison material comes to be
manufactured it means that it must
be sold at loss Of &c pound or else
that the farmers must be charged &c a
pound more than it is worth in order
to make the prison books balance and
way the ultimate expense amust be
borne by the farmer, who, as usual
when the democratic party undertakes
to experiment. plays the roll Of sucker.

1t is going to lower the rates at these
points. whereas, In fact, the articles

are not shipped in any large quantities
from these points. It Is safe to say
that the difference In the cost Of

been an honest intention to accomplish

would have been made to apply, for

bermen Of Little Falls may ship gro-
ceries, clothing, boots and shoes at a.
reduced rate: the quarrymen OF st.

After the vigorous hammering they
have been resolving for the past eight
or ten days on the management of the
prison Irvine plant, the Democratic
managers have at last entered into an
explanation of the frightful conditions
prevailing at the prison, as depicted
by State Auditor Dunn in his address
at Milaca. The explanation comes In
the form of letter from B. F. Nelson.
chairman of the board Of prison man
ayers, and is in the nature Of a denial
of the figures furnished by Warden
Reeve to Auditor Dunn In an official
way. 1t will be observed that the only
question Of veracity raised is that
raised by Mr.. Nelson, and the figures
which he disputes are those furnished
by the warden of the state prison in
his official capacity and as an account
ing to the proper officer Of the state.
What Mr.. Nelson denies Is not Mr..
Dunn's statement, but the accuracy OF
the figures supplied Mr.. Dunn by
Warden Reeve. If it were question
Of veracity between MIR. Dunn and Mr..
Nelson, or between Mr.. Dunn and
Warden Reeve, there might be some
politics in It: but since it is a question
Of veracity between two Democratic
officials, there Is little to be said or
done except. to let the two proceed
with their explanations and entangle
each other. OF course, Mr.. Nelson's
exclamation, or defense, is addressed to
Mr.. Dunn, and that Official has prompt
" replied to the insinua lions contained
in Mr.. Nelson's statement Of the case
and the figures submitted to him by
Warden Reeve. Mr.. Dunn was indig-
nant. not because Mr.. Nelson had de-
MED anything he said, but because
Mr.. Nelson himself had" admitted to
Mr., Dunn that there was q. large short
are in the accounts at the state prison,
and he said the reason the board COM
PEELED the farmers to. accept all the
Irvine for which they had contracted
was that II they allowed any contracts
to be cancelled, It would result in such
q large shortage that it would prac-
tically destroy the twine industry, .,
the state prison. after which he pro-
ceeded to deny all that he he had pre-
viously admitted. The substance of
Mr.. Nelson's explanation is this-that
nenditure on account of manufacture
ing for the year 1900 over the year 1899
was the difference between $68,0o0.0o
and s460oo.Oo, or $22, 100000, in which the
cost of manufacturing about 600,00d
mounds of Irvine. included together
with $19,5OO expended for oil, repairs
and sacks in excess Of the expenditure
for those items in the year 1885," And
1.-The report Of the years business made
to the proper official, at the proper
time, will show small profit instead
of a loss of $40,000.00, as alleged" MI.
Nelson does not undertake to show
how, when or where he can show "a
small margin of profit" inasmuch as
the official reports Of Warden Reeve
show that there are outstanding &C.
counts of the prison Irvine plan:
amounting to 375,s65.Co. Just how the
Demccra tic officials are going to figure
out the profit on outstanding accounts
amounting to that sum. it would b

difficult to say, particularly when the
sums due are for Irvine, which the
farmers were forced to take when
they did not need it, and could not use
1t, owing to the short crop. Business
men do not count their profits upon
outstanding accounts. The farmers
feel it is great hardship to them to
have been compelled to accept Irvine
that they did not need, when it has
been the uniform custom Of the board
under Republican management to al
low cancellation any time before the
delivery Of tho Irvine, when the farmer
finds that his needs are less because OF
a short crop. This being the case,
there will be no rush on the part of the
farmers to pay up the $4,000 Of out
standing accounts for Irvine sold, and
Mr.. Nelson's statement that there will
be "a small profit, instead of loss Of
$4,000" will have to wait some time
for veriflcati6n. The fact Of the mat
ter is that, as Auditor Dunn says, the
prison Irvine plant has been badly
mismanaged, and Mr.. Nelson himself
admitted that fact In Mr.. Dunn's ONCE,
when he said to that official that 1.-The
board was running behind in it's &C.
counts and that the farmers had to be
held to their contracts, or else the
board would have to face a deficit Of
100000 at the end Of the fiscal year,
The more the public learns about the
reform" in the management Of tho
prison Irvine plant the more it begins
to dawn upon the mind Of the taxpay-
or that. Democratic reform is always
expensive. The prison Irvine manufact-
uring plant was established by a Re-
publican legislature. and has been OPP
Grated for years under Republican aus
lpices; to the ~incalculable benefit of the
farmer and the consumer Of Irvine. It
10 not that the prison plant could pro-
duce twines 20 much cheaper than the
trust manufacturers. but the fact that
the nnainte nance 81 the Irvine factory
operated by prison; labor and conduct
ed as a state institution. furnished
Irvine at the actual cost Of material
and labor and served a. q constant
check upon the operations Of the ,trust.
and enforced a lower rule Of prices.
The trust has been compelled, ever
since the establishment Of the prison
Irvine plant. up to the time the Demo-
Gratis got control Of it, to sell Irvine in
this state at figure far below that
ruling in other states whore they had
no such competition a. that furnished
by the state plant. 1t was in response
to the demand. for some kind of en-
p1oyment for prison labor that would
not conflict with free labor, and for the
installation of q plant to protect the
farmers from the voracity Of the
trust that the prison Irvine plant was
esta blished. Almost from the very
beginning of the production Of Irvine at
the plant it was self-sustaining, and by
careful and busipess-like methods IN
the purchase OF supplies and the en-
ployment Of labor. it was possible to
turn out Irvine without a loss to the
state at price ranging from 2 cents
to 8 cents below that charged by the
cordage trust. Almost Immediately af-
ter the Democrats got into control OF
the plant the conditions wer.. diamet-

It Is singular thing, indeed, that
Gov. Lind should be campaigning the
state and taking to himself credit for
the passage Of the so-called Somer-
vile law. to tax foreign corporations
doing business within this state. In
doing so the governor pays an uncon-
scious. and therefore a sincere, compile
ment to the republican legislature
which passed the bill. to the repub-.
lican auditor and to the repub-
lican secretary of state, who recon-
mended 1t in their biennial reports. and
to the republican policy. which has con-
sistently and continuously given itself
to the adoption OF just such measures,
ever since Il came into power, forty
years ago. II there is any political
significance I'm the passage Of the
Somerville bill 1t Is in the fact that the
governors recognized representative
on the floor Of the senate, Senator
Stockwell, was the most violent and
incorporating opponent Of the bill.
Senator StockWell Is at present tho
fusion nominee for congress In tho
nth district, having been selected for
that place. like every other fusion
nominee, at the direct instigation OF
Gov. Lind himself. Throughout tho
session Of 1899 Senator Stockwell was
admittedly and avowedly the govern
or's mouth-piece In the upper body Of
the legislature, and frequently chair
man Of the democratic caucuses, which
were held to discuss and consider vari-
GUS measures pending. Had Gov Lind
been such an advocate as he now pro-
fesses to be of the Somerville law It
ho~ 0~~oo11Nr1Sy Oh MA
and easy task for him to have called
of the opposition OF Senator Stock
we'll to the Somerville bill and to have
given 1t the support Of the democrats
In the senate. Instead of doing SO,
however, he gave Senator StockweN
his moral support in opposition to tho
bill by at least refraining from inter-
ference, and the most violent attacks
upon the bill when 1t was under dis
cussion in the various stages Of its
consideration before that body were
made by Senator Stockwell, who de-
clared that III this bill passed and be-
comes q law It will be a deliberate rob-
berry Of $780, 100 a year taken from tho
legitimate business men Of the state"

ton Of the democrats, and parade suoh
q bill as something distinctly deme-
cratic and something Of which the gov
ernor himself is proud and for which
he claims all credit. As a matter Of
fact the governor is entitled to the
credit for the passage Of the Some1-
