No Mills Started.

When the matter was under cOnsidera-
ton, strong arguments were made be-
lore the committees of congress that an
adequate duty levied would result in
opening and founding mills for bag
manufacture, giving employment to large
numbers, thus becoming benefit. But
every expectation and representation
then made at Washington has failed
completely. On the Pacific coast are
but two manufactures of jute bags-the
California and Washington state pris-
ons. They give no benefit to labor.
Their combined output does not reach
100000 bags, where nearly 10000
600 are needed on the coast
Ia the line of the greatest good to
the greatest number" the agitation now
opening should not be permitted to lag
until fair basis is reached.
The PalOuse county is a consumer of
several millions of bags annually, and
the people of this region should join the
active list in bringing about change of
law which was only secured through
misrepresentation of one or two Cali
fornia mill owners, whose promises have
been in nOwise fulfilled.

Democracy Halts at No Deception.
Capt William H. Elliott. the repre-
sentative of the department of the in
terror, has this to say about the re-
peated reports of trouble" in Porto
Rico:
LET it be borne in mind that ma
terial for the wild and weird stories
published by the Democratic press Of
the United States is furnished by
Spaniards for the purpose of bringing
the citizens of Porto Rico into disre-
pute, and with the hope, false and
fallacious though it may prove, of
weakening the efforts being put forth
under the law of congress to- organize
an equita BILE civil government that will
accord to every man, rich or poor,
black or white, liberty and justice,
and in lieu thereof, turn the island
over as spoils to the rapaciously rich
and brutally harsh Spanish taskmak-
ers, as in the past"

The New Star-Spangled Banner.
Oh, say. can you see. by the far East
,ern light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose bread stripes and bright stars,
after many fight,
In lands near and far, is so gallantly
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayer, rising
high in the air,
Give proof to the world that our flag
is still there:
Oh, say, let the star-spangled banner
be waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
people we've saved!
Oh, thus be it always, whenever we
stand
Between the oppressed and kings
desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made us
powerful nation!
And onward we must, for our cause Is
just:
And this be our motto, I'm God is
our trust:'
Let the star-spangled banner In tri-
umph be waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
peoples we've saved!

Bryan Could Not Answer.

At the dedication of the cannon at
Fort Wayne, Ind, to the memory OF
Gen. Henry w. Lawton' William j.

Gov. Mount and heard the Republican
governor recite Lawton's famous
speech before he was killed: IF I
am shot by a Filipino bullet it might

because know from observation con-
firmed by captured prisoners. that
the continuance of the fighting is
chiefly due to reports that are sent
out from America
1t was a dramatic moment, and
Bryan who was the focus of 10000
eyes, sat through it silent, with bowed
head When he rose to speak he dis
regarded the expansion utterances Of
Gov. Mount, and paid tribute to Gen.
Lawtor as a soldier. He could not
answer the startling impeachment OF
the dead soldier.

England FavOrs Bry4n's Election.
One of the bogus issues raised In the
present campaign by the Democratic
party in order to play upon the pre1u-
dices of a class of American voters -
the secret alliance DOGGY. Not a scin-
tilla of evidence has ever been FUR
nished upon which to base the declara-
ton, yet it has been dwelt upon with
the same persistence and demagogic
iteration as the imperialistic fiction.
AS the imperialistic DOGGY is dwelt
upon to mask the real issue, so the
secret alliance cry is persisted in to
deceive that class of voters it is hoped
to influence through national preju-
dices.
The fact is, England desires the cleo
ton of Bryan. Two great English
journals, the London Spectator and
the London Truth, have made no
scruple to declare that it is for the in
terest of Great Britain and would be
most gratifying to her if Bryan should
be successful in the American presl-
Dental contest. Senator Depew OF
New York recently arrived from a
visit to Europe, and upon being inter-
viewed, declared that there was no
doubt of a prevailing sentiment in
England in favor of Bryan's election.
Now, it would seem from these facts
that if the detested "secret alliance
exists, Great Britain would be quite
willing to forego all the benefits de-
rived from it in exchange for the
greater advantages that would accrue
from the election of Mr.. Bryan. But.

necessary transportation, and they
were clamoring and eager for them.
Every town, village or county was
willing to offer large bonus to secure
q railroad, and many of them did issue
bonds to the full amount permitted by
law in order to secure the much-needed
line.
Many who are here tonight will re-
member how the people Of Mile Laos
county authorized such a bond issue
in 1886 to secure a north and south
railroad, and there are very few people
in the county to-day who are dissatis-
fled with the bargain
It is not surprising then that in the
early days of the state large bonuses
or grants of swamp lands were made
to railroads to aid their construction.
Since 1881 no new grants have been
made, and by an amendment to the
constitution, submitted to the people
that year, further grants are prohib-
tied.
During the past few years the land
grant railroads have been held to a
strict accounting. and every effort has
been made to close the grants and to
conserve for the benefit of the educa-
tiOnal and charitable institutions of the
state all the swamp lands remaining
after the grants have been satisfied.
Where it has been found that a rail-
road company had failed to comply
with the terms of it's grant or had not
earned the lands granted the law has
been invoked in defense of the states
interests. -
That Large Surplus.
Gov. Lind says: 1.-THE only difficulty
with our finances at the present time is
the large surplus in the treasury" and
he expresses regret that the legislature
will not cut down the tax levy. In
answer to this will say that the leg
islature did cut down the tax levy to
the lowest possible notch. and the sur
plus in the treasury is more apparent
than real. The state treasurer's state
ment for the fiscal year ending July
81, does show that there was 81, 1O9. 49,. 50
In the state treasury, and his state
ment also shows that almost 81 ZOO, 900
of that amount belongs to the perma-
nent and general school fund and that
$752,O00 will be distributed among the
school districts of the state next month
will come right back to the people. But
here are the figures that show to what
funds the amount in the treasury be-
longs:

ExpOrts of Agricultural Products.

Exports of Agricultural Products.
There is world of thought for
farmers in the record of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what it was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
seasons brought the bountiful crops, or
course, but good times, created by the
protective tariff, advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption ana
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record of exports of wheat ana hour
in values is as follows:

their wheat and it's product which are
sold abroad than when times were duh

Savings Bank Deposits Belle Bryan.

Sayinxs Bank Deposits Belle Bryan.
Much solicitude has been expressed
nv our opponents for the depositors in
savings banks. They constantly pa
rade before these depositors the adj
yantages of gold standard, but these
appeals will be in vain, because saw
ings bank depositors know that under
a gold standard there is increasing
danger that they will lose their
deposits because of the inability Of the
hanks to collect their assets; and they
still further know that, if the gold
standard is to continue indefinitely,
thew may be compelled to withdraw
their deposits in order to pay living ex-
penses.-Bryan's First Battle.
Since that was uttered savings bank
deposits have grown enormously. In
the year 1894, under Democratic free
trade, 3413,477 depositors in savings
banks had $1,265, 1904 to their credit:
in 1899 the number of depositors had
grown to 4,254,51e, and the money de-
posted to $1,7S2,974, 4S1.

The New Capitol.
The people of Minnesota can take
pardonable pride in their new capitol
building, the construction Of which was
authorized by the legislature of 1893.
It's cost will not exceed the amount ap-
propriated, namely, $4,000, 900, and it is
being honestly and substantially built.
This work affords pleasing contrast
to the experience of some other states
which have suffered from the extrava-
gance and mismanagement of political
boards of commissioners, the rapacity
of INSCRIPTIONS contractors and the
use of shoddy material The commits
sioners who have charge of the con-
struction of Minnesota's state capitol
are substantial business men who have
followed business principles and care
fully protected the states interests.
The result of their work will be hand
some, solid structure, ample for all
needs of the state government for sew
eral generations.
Railroad Land Grants.
Much has been said during the past
few years about the railroad land
grants. The legislature has at different
times granted large amounts of it's
swamp lands to aid in the construction
Of railroads, and while, in the light OF
to-day, it seems as though the same
results could have been obtained in
other ways or by smaller donations Of
land, it must be remembered that at
the time most of these grants were
made the, state was without railroads
