BELIEVE IN PROTECTION.
Why the Farmers Have Abundant Reason
to Vote For Mckinley.

New York Press: For the life of
him and his supporters, Mr., Bryan
cannot see how the farmer can be a
protectionist. He asks and they ask
if any sane man will contend that
the Dingley tariff could have anything
to do with increased exports of wheat,
corn or any kind of American food
products. Which, of course, has moth
ing to do with the reasons why Ameri
can farmers are protectionists. The
reason they are protectionists is that
they raise their food products to sell,
first of all and most of all, to Ameri-
can consumers and they know from
bitter experience that the American
consumer-that is, the wage Garner
cannot buy food products when he is
out of work and has not the money to
do it.
In 1892, with population of only
Go, 600, 900 this country (being under
the Mckinley law, with all wage
earners at work consumed 1858, 531, 730
bushels of wheat In 1894, with the
mills and factories closed by the Will
son law and the wage earners unable
to buy with their accustomed purchas-
ing power, there were consumed in
this country by the almost SO, 900, 600
people only S32, IN, 500 bushels of
wheat. Under the Mckinley law in
1892 the per capita consumption of
wheat in the United States was 5. 81
bushels. In 1894, under the Wilson
law, it was only al. Likewise in the
United States the consumption of corn
fell from 2, 600, 000 900 bushels in 1892
to 1, 900, 600, 900 bushels in 1896; the
per capita consumption being 80. 33
bushels in 1892 and IA 70 in 1896.
That is why the American farmer
is observation-disclosures he knows
that unless the American wage earners
are kept at work, making money with
which to buy, he has no consumers
for his products because he knows
that, when the American market is
level fat by loss of purchasing power
through loss of wage earnings, the
farmers wheat is not worth match
to burn it, and his live stock not
worth hammer to knock it in the
head.

BRYAN VS.. PRUDENTIAL.

Mr.. Bryan says that the farmer has
not shared in the much Wanted pros
perity and that the Republican argu-
ment to that effect will not fool him.
At Topeka he asserted that the trusts
had increased prices of their products
faster than the products of the farm
had increased in price, and that conse-
quently the farmer was worse off than
before. When Bryan said this he ought
to have acquainted himself with the
facts, or perhaps as in the case with
trusts he does not care for facts or
else he should have had Bank Com
missioner Breidenthal, of Kansas,
muzzled. Breidenthal is Populist,
and is the fusion candidate for COVER
nor of that state. The story he tells in
his report is as follows:
''The great increase of banking de-
posits and the general improvement
in the condition of Kansas banks is the
natural result of four years of good
crops The big wheat crop of 1897
enabled many of our farmers to pay
off their entire indebtedness The pro-
ceeds of the crops of 1898 and 1899
were invested largely in Improvements,
in the purchase of machinery, house
hold furniture and in stock. The pro-
ceeds of this years immense wheat
crop will largely go to the banks. ;.
confidently expect the deposits in
banks under my control to reach $50, :
900, 900 before the close of the year
To illustrate what this large surplus
means, I call attention to the fact that
our banks could stand withdrawal
of deposits double the amount with
drawn during the panic of 1898 with
out calling in single loan, and still
have reserve of 90 per cent in ex-
cess of tnhe legal requirements. -
It will be seen that Mr.. Breidenthal
does not agree with Bryan that the
farmer has not been prosperous. He
shows that not only has he shared in
the prosperity, but has prospered be-
yond anything of the past. And fur
Their his prosperity is not on the
wane, but will greatly increase this
year. That is the reason that Kansas
is Republican this year. 1t is this
same prosperity that is turning far
mers of Nebraska away from Bryan

PRESERVE THE LAWN.
County Commissioners Should Protect
the Court House Grounds.

Now that the Bryan meeting is past,
the use of the court house lawn for
public meetings can be discussed in
cool blood Some of those who have
favored it's use for the Bryan meeting
were opposed to its being used for
public gatherings when the G. A. R.
wanted to hold its Decoration day
exercises there two or three years ago,
on the grounds that such gathering
would injure the grass and young
trees. Last spring these exercises
were held in Glenwood cemetery, and
so much damage was done the grass
and trees there by the crowd that the
cemetery association at once took ac-
tion to prevent any such gatherings on
its grounds in the future What hap
pened at the cemetery would have
happened on the court house lawn,
only in degree as much greater as
the crowd was greater
1t is fortunate thing for the con-
tinued beauty of the court house
grounds that rain prevented yester-
days crowds from assembling there.
These grounds were not intended to be
overrun by crowds of people, to tram
pie down the grass and break the trees,
and the county commissioners ought
not to allow the use of the grounds for
any kind of an assemblage.. If a
meeting of one political party is per-
mitted to be held there, the. favor can
not be denied another, and if the
grounds were used for political pur-
poses they certainly could not be de-
MED to the Grand Army and other or
CARNATIONS. Let the line be drawn
strictly and the grounds be kept for
the purposes for which they were in
tended. In this request, the Free
Press is Joined by good many citi-
zens of the county who are not old SOL
diers, but who take just pride in the
county's fine property.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY in MINNESOTA.

This useful little book is from the
pen of Professor Thos. Shaw of the
university of Minnesota, and it has
been written, as the author states in
the preface, in the hope that it may
prove helpful to the farmers. The book,
which embraces some 216 pages, is
strongly bound in paper and is hand
some1y illustrated, and it covers the
whole ground relating to sheep hus-
bandry as adapted to Minnesota con-
ditions. But, since Minnesota condi-
lions are Virtually the same as all the
northwest, the book is equally applic-
able to all the northwest. 1t treats of
every phase of sheep husbandry, as
adapted to the conditions of the farm,
from the birth of the lamb until it
reaches the block, inasmuch that the
individual who follows the instruc-
tions contained therein will follow a
safe guide, even though previously
unacquainted with sheep husbandry
The book is published and distributed
under the auspicies of the Minnesota
Live Stock Breeders association.
1t was written by the author without
compensation and is dedicated to the
farmers of the state. A copy will be
sent to any farmer in Minnesota who
forwards cents for postage Any one
outside of Minnesota can obtain a
copy who forwards % cents to the

AGAINST BRYANISM.
That is the Verdict Already Rendered by
Four States.

st. Louis Globe Democrat Since
April four states that gave their cleo
toral votes to Mckinley have held
elections, and the Republicans have
swept them all by exceptionally large
pluralities, They are Oregon. Rhode
Island, Vermont and Maine In the
three New England states the Repub-
lican pluralities were not as large as
in 1896. but far beyond the average of
the years before the Democratic party
went into partnership with free silver
and Populism. In Oregon, on the
opposite side of the country, the Re
publican plurality greatly exceeded
that 1896. Oregon was very close in
its state election that year. The Re
publican plurality was less than 500 in
the spring and McKinley's plurality
in November was only 2117. But
Oregon's Republican plurality this
year is over 10, 600. In the four states
mentioned every Republican candidate
for congress has been elected, making
a total of ten for the next house. All
the state officers and legislatures are
Republican.
Taking Oregon as the test for the
west, there will be large Republican
gains in that region, enough to add
twenty or thirty electoral votes to the
Republican side The result in Ore
gon is the more significant because
Bryan canvassed the state in the spring
and hoped to cut down or reverse the
Republican lead. 1t is evident that
Mckinley will carry the New England
states by majorities not greatly re-
duced from the phenomenal figures of
1896. 1t is claimed that Bryan has
improved chances in Indiana, Ken
lucky and Maryland. They would fall
far short of electing him. Besides, the
Republicans confidently count on car
rying the three states. The sound
money city of Baltimore will decide
the result in Maryland. In Kentcuky
the Gold Democrats and anti -Goebel
vote will go to Mckinley. Republi-
cans do not consider Indiana seri-
ously in doubt. The prospects are splen-
did, and yet earnest, unceasing work
is essential

POOR SECURITY.
John Anderson Charged With
Committing Forgery.
He is Said to Have Signed Fictitions
Names to Note and Borrowed
Money on it.

John Anderson was arrested by Off
Ger Daniels in saloon at about mid
night on warrant sworn out by w.
Fl. Hotchkiss, of Lincoln, charging
him with forgery. He was locked up
at the city hall, and today Sheriff
Forsyth took him to st. James to
answer to the charge, the alleged crime
having been committed at Madelia
Mr.. Hotchkiss was in the city this
morning and states that about two
weeks ago Anderson borrowed So of
him, giving as security note for $50,
which he claimed to have received
from the sale of horse. This note
purported to have been signed by
Severt Knutson and G. F. Smith. An
derson was to pay the money back on
the following Monday. He said that
he wanted the money to go to Sibley,
Iowa, to visit his family, but he did
not go, and skipped out on Tuesday,
not being seen by Mr.. Hotchkiss again
until arrested last night. Anderson
has been on drunk and was not
completely sobered off today. Mr..
Hotchkiss hunted for the signers of
the note but could not find any such
parties.
The note is dated July 9th and is to
become due Nov. list. Anderson s
name is endorsed on the back. Mr..
Hotchkiss states that Anderson had
Attorney Devlin, of Madelia, draw up
the note two weeks ago and date it
back, leaving the place for the sigma
lures blank. He claims that Ander-
son then signed two fictitious names to
the note The endorsement on the
back is apparently made by the same
person who signed these names. Mr..
Hotchkiss also ascertained that Ander-
son did not have a horse at the time OF
the loan.
Anderson denies that he forged the
signatures and says that he will be
able to produce the persons who signed
the note. He says that he sold the
horse two or three weeks ago and took
the note in payment, but this state
ment conflicts with the date of the
note. He says that he will return Mr..
Hotchkiss his money. He says that he
had horse and sold it, but it was re-
turned to him. He says that he paid
So for the horse and sold it second
time for $50 on the representation that
it was trotter and would pass any
thing in this section. Anderson says
that when he is drunk he sometimes
goes by the name of Severt Knutson,
Ole Olson and other names He says
that he used the So loan to go tx
Shelby, Iowa, and after staying there
two hours returned home. He says
that his father-in-law has 8, 700 acres
of land and will back him up.
Anderson has been working for &
Mr.. Olson, who is neighbor of Mr.
Hotchkiss, and the latter had already
handed him So on Olson's account
Anderson wants to settle, but Hotch
kiss gave it out that he would prose
cute the case to a finish.

My Dear McCleary: 1 have your
letter and I need not assure you that
would find great deal Of pleasure in
going to your town to speak, but the
fact is that l had arranged to go in
and stump the state of Iowa from end
to end. had my meetings announced
and great preparations had been made
for holding them, and it will not be
possible at present to cancel these
dates. If 1 should go into Minnesota,
think that I ought to go up into
Eddy's and Morris district Every
body tells me that you have got your
people educated up to the point where
nearly all of them vote the Republican
ticket without speeches, and if go
to Minnesota, do you not think it
would be better for me to tackle the
close territory. am not sure that I
can come, but if I do, 1 think they
regard your district as absolutely sure.
Your work four years ago, not only
fixed your own district but your pub
lie speeches went far to fix the whole
country.
With thanks for the kind words of
your letter, l am
