Il is generally lawyer, banker or
politician who gets the appointment.
President Moran also called on Sen
ators Hanna and Frye, who have charge
o. the ship subsidy bill now pending
before congress-, and made objections to
the bill as a representative of the farm
ers, and suggested several amendments
which would vastly improve the bill
These amendments were accepted in
whole or part by Senators Hanna and
Frye, and If the bill passes at all it will
be one that will be of some real benefi.
to the farmers Of the country instead OF
to a few fast ships as first intended
On Wednesday, January 80, President
Moran sailed for Europe, as the repre-
sentative of the allied national asso-
Citations of America, to close deal with
the principal grain exporters of Liver
pool, Antwerp, Paris and Berlin, and
close negotiations with those foreign
exporters whom | partially negotiated
with while in Europe last summer
We hope now to be able to organize
farmers elevators all over the wheat
belt and organize line of farmers
elevators which will ship their own SUI
perior grades Of grain without mixing"
to the European markets, and receive
the premiums on grades and rebates on
land and sea transportation, which
would amount to from 3 to 10 cents per
bushel, which can be saved to the farm
ers of America instead of building up
vast fortunes for the few middle men
through whose hands the products OF
the farm pass from producer to con-
sumer.
President Moran will remain abroad
couple of months and before returning
to America will visit his native coun-
cry and his boyhoods home in Head
ford, County Galway, Ireland.

vile, Mimi, president of the National
Grain Growers association of America,
who was summoned to Washington by
United States Senator James H. Kyle.
commission, to give testimony concern
ing the manner in which the line ele-
vatOrs of the Northwest combine to get
the farmers grain at disastrously low
ing matters concerning the handling OF
grain in the wheat section of the coun-
try. Among the points scored by PreSi-
dent Moran, as solution for this grow
ganize and do their own business with
out the intervention of the numerous
middlemen who absorb the farmers
profits on his products in it's passage
from producer to consumer
The judge pointed out that the enor-
nous fortunes acquired by the pro-
prietors of the line elevators was often
produced by combination, whereby the
elevator combine received more profits
or load Of grain from a farmer than
the farmer who toiled year to produce
his crop. With all his investment in
farm property and all the risks of the
elements, he was obliged to part with
his grain at about what it cost him to
produce, which is close to 60 cents per
bushel in the wheat belt of the country.
The price prevailing, on. an average,
for the last few years has been about
SO to IS cents per bushel at local points,
which would leave the farmer at the
most favorable circumstances only five
cents per bushel on wheat, while often
the line elevators make clear profit Of
three to seven cents per bushel for just
letting the farmer pass his products
through their hands. The result shows
that the combines are growing enor
mously rich while the farmers are grow
ing correspondingly poor.
One of the. remedies proposed by
outlined by the National Grain Growers
association: To organize the farmers
all over the world and build their own
farmers elevators, cotton warehouses;
corn cribs, cattle depots and produce
exchanges, etc. The object Of the in
-dustrial commission is to learn facts
concerning many matters of interest to
the people and to promulgate some line
OF legislation that would aid in remedy
ing existing evils.
President Moran made strong i'm
preston on the commission, which VIC
hope will be productive of good re-
suits.
On the conclusion of his testimony
before the commission, he called on
President Mckinley and had long in
terview concerning the extension of our
foreign markets in China and Japan to
consume our vastly increasing crops,
and also to urge the president to ap-
point a farmer in his cabinet, to be
secretary of agriculture, instead of law
yers and politicians. He also presented
the name of the man receiving the
unanimous Endorsement of the allied ma
tional agricultural associations, which
will most likely receive the same treat
ment farmers usually are considered.

Dear Sir:-Believing It to be my duty
TO the public will send you for publi-
cation III you so elect) an account Of thu
benefit myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
Last fall I caught heavy cold and
could not break it up, and it resulted In
catarrh in the head. It kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; it bothered me to breathe; was
raising large quantities of phlegm and
! was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t so happened was delegate
to the State Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union, last winter, and the last
evening of the session, I had been at
a committee meeting and Eric Olson,
state lecturer of F. A. & l. IT,, was pres
ent, and just as we were parting he
took out OF his pocket a little box and
commenced putting something into his
nostrils. l asked him what it was; he
asked him If 1t was good for It: he said
1t had been highly recommended to him.
l told him l had been suffering with
catarrh for some time and asked him to
let me try it; he did so and l took the
name OF the man who made it, j. B.
Dukes of Minneapolis. The next morn
ing found 1t had helped me very much.
When l got home l sat right down AMI
sent in an order for one-half dozen
boxes, and before had used half of one
box l was cured. The ringing in nv
ears had stopped, and it had cleaned
cut my lungs. l could feel the accumu-
lation in my lungs loosen and raised /.
In chunks. My daughter, Gladys, has
had catarrh for long time; we have
tried several remedies, and among them
DR.. Halls great remedy, that he offered
to give 500 for any case it will not
cure. She used several bottles and got
no relief She bled at the nose con-
tiEually. She had not used one-half
box of Dead Shot before the bleeding
was stopped and she was almost we'll.
have sold good many dozen boxes In
this section and have got to find one
person that has used it who is not con-
vinced that it is the only remedy that
will cure catarrh, thereby preventing so
many from dying with consumution.
Everyone who uses it tries to keep it in
the house, as 1t is a sure cure for a cold
as soon as it is contracted. am con-
vinced that after person has once had
eatarrrh, 1t being a parasite, the men,
brane of the nose will never get natural
again, and they will always be more
susceptible to colds and eatarrh: but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always on
hand, you are always ready to combat
It, Please send me two dozen boxes.
l am very respectfully yours,

against the bill, and thought at the time
that they were fatal to ever compromise
with the shipping interests who were
radically opposed to these amendments.
However. with the aid of several
Northwestern members on the senate
and house committees who had charge
OF this bill, We succeeded in securing the
following amendments Of value to the
farmers interests:
AMENDMENTS SECURED.
1. Amending the bill compelling ship
to carry at least one-half of it's register
ed capacity in cargo.
2. Providing 5000, 900 for the Pacific
trade. We want this increased to $4,-
100000.
3. 1t gives slow or tramp ships better
compensation for speed.
4. 1t reduces the compensation for
return or inward trip 20 per cent.
We want to abolish all compensation
for return trip.
5. Reduced compensation from 20
years full compensation to 10 years,
and a reduction for the remaining 10
years.
6. Makes all ships class A 1.
Z. 1t prohibits Standard Oil and coal
carrying and oil tank ships from any
compensation.
8. 1t applies Sherman antitrust law
to all vessels or lines, depriving them of
any subsidy during the balance of time,
if they combine to raise freight rates
on land or sea.
9. 1t cOmpels all vessels that come in
under this bill to enter into an agree
ment with heavy bond to build another
ship of equal size or tonnage as the one
admitted to American registry. This
will be sure to increase the building of
new American ships before any subsidy
will be paid to any vessel. This is what
the falmer wants-American ships.
10. 1t gives to foreign built ships
one-half Of the compensation given to
American built ships, and compels them
to build an equal amount of ships or
tonnage in America before it gets any
compensation. This also will give us
additional American built ships.
THIS IS WHAT THE FARMER
WANTS-AMER1CA SHIPS
ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS.
There are other amendments which so
improve the bill that those who first
prepared the bill can scarcely recognize
the bill, and while It is not all that the
farmers want, 1t is an immense i'm
prOvement on the first bill introduced.
and. while 1t is also very unsatisfactory
to the ship owners and builders, we can
say that when we recognize the i'm
meme work which was necessary to
get wen this bill up to it's present satis-
factory condition and remember the in
tense conflicting interests involved, and
the prospect OF securing something that
would aid the farmers of a practical ma
ture. we can congratulate the farmers
Of the nation on the successful termina-
ton of their efforts in amending this
bill, which we firmly believe with q
couple Of other amendments will give us
q fairly good bill. and we can do no bet-
ter than carry out to practical conclu-
sion the policy which we have already

In our own state of Minnesota WE
took an active and vigorous attitude
in the selection of successor to the
late United States senator c. K. Davis,
and won out handsomely with Gen.
Moses e. Clapp, whom it was a pleas
ure and duty to stand by, because of his
fearless and broad-minded ideas on
many questions which require manhood
and courage to proclaim, when those
| ideas are not in harmony with the poll
cies of the national administration, who
seems to be dominated by cringing
and effusive admiration to British ideas
and policies. Gen. Clapp's well known
sympathies with the Beers and his atti-
tude when a monster meeting was held
in st. Paul last summer to give SYM
pathy to- the Beers. He presided at the
meeting and made speech in their
favor, in contrast to the sniveling fear
Of nearly every prominent Republican
politician, who would not dare to appear
even in the proximity of the theater
where the meeting was held, for fear of
giving offense to the administration,
which has SO departed from the tradi-
tions~ and policies Of this government
that it will be no surprise to hear in
the near future the national anthem of
the British empire, God Save the King"
in the halls of our national capitol.
1t is refreshing to know that Mime
sofa is represented by two such speci-
mems of robust American manhood,
that Minnesota will be properly repre-
sented at the national capitol on matters
of that kind.
One of the United States senators
whom we have most friendly interest
in seeing reelected is United States
Senator George wv Mcbride, of Oregon
who has a mosh discreditable fight on
his hands, beingeopposed by Mr.. Cor
bett, who is inulti-millionaire and is
using money lasishly to buy his way
into the United States senate, where, 1t
appears, that none but millionaires are
wanted.
1t would be an outrage il money wins
against merit, and we hope to hear the
final termination of this contest will
show that there is something more in
this world that gold, and that merit and
a clean record and spotless reputation
do stand for something in this country.
g We hope to learn that Senator Nc
Bride has won, and saved the fair name
of the state Of Oregon from the foul blot
which her sister state of Montana has to
bow in shame when it's senatorial con-
test is mentioned.

FARMERS OBJECTTO
FIRST SUBSIDY BILL

Il. Agriculture is the greatest in
dustry of the nation, and is represented
through our National Agricultural asso-
Citations.
2. About 3S,OOO,OO0 people in the
United States engaged in agriculture.
3. The wealth of agricultural property
is greater than many interests combin-
ed, representing about 10000, ,0OO, 900.
4. We produce from the soil annually
about $4,000, 900, 900.
5. We are interested in the export
trade and it's extensions because we
furnish about 70 per cent of the entire
export trade of the nation, and amount
ing to $S5S,O0O,OOO in agricultural pro-
ducts in 1898.
s. The direction which we desire to
extend our export trade is the Pacific or
Asiatic countries. Because this is the
trade which we must get to absorb our
vastly increasing crops, as the value of
our export trade sets the price on the
entire crop raised, by the demand thus
created
Z. We must secure or revise our
treaties with Asiatic countries that will
permit us to extend our trade with
them.
g. We desire that American ships
be built that will extend our export
trade agricultural products).
9. We favor subsidizing American
ships for the freight that is actually
carried to foreign markets Irrespective
of speed and capacity.
10. We are willing that an appropria-
ton of 100000 be set aside annually
for 20 years for this purpose, and pay a
rate OF cents per ton per 100 miles for
all freight actually carried on outward
trip.
II. We are opposed to paying a
bounty or subsidy on imports on return
trip, as it neutralizes the tariff.
IL. We are in favor of extending
this aid to tramp ships who do the great
bulk of ocean carrying, and who are the
regulators of reight rates at sea.
13. We are opposed to the Frye-Payne
bill, because it will give at once to the
large ocean liners on the Atlantic the
bulk of the $9,0O0.0OO, because of the
speed and capacity clause, without CIV
ing any guarantee that one pound of
extra export trade would be added to
that we have already on the Atlantic.
IA. We favor dividing the subsidy
equally between the Atlantic and Pacific
ocean trade.
Is. We favor encouraging the estab-
lishment of small ship building plants
and the building of small ships, and
show ships as we'll as fast ships.
1C. We are intensely interested and
in earnest that some legislation will be
enacted that will benefit agriculture. We
desire that the industry of agriculture
shall be the primary one. and in so far
as this is obtained we are willing that
other interests shall enjoy measure Of
this aid, even though they have enjoyed
the protection of tariffs and bounties in
tho past.
There we're the objections We declared

BURIED HOUSES IN MEXICO.
Rare Discovery Made by Mormon
ArchaeOIOEists.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico,
Mexico, says: The party Of Mormon archae-
UlogistS and students who left Provo City
Utah. nearly year ago on an overland
trip to Valparaiso. Chile, have arrived here.
They spent some time IN the Garcia valley,
in the state OF Chihuahua, where they made
some extensive excavations and eXplora-
tions of ancient ruins which had never be-
fore been visited by archaeologists. Prot.
Benjamin Cuff who is in charge OF the
party, said: We found a great number or
mounds in the Garcia valley, the date or
which Is unknown. In the mounds which
we excavated We found some well-buit
houses made OF stone, well plastered and
most of them having cement floors. The
houses usually consisted of two to four
rooms though some OF them were larger.
The houses were always in groups or VII
lagos, never alone. The whole side OF the
mountain had evidently been under cult
walton and every ridge had a line of houses.
In front or at the side of each house we
found wall or terrace from one to six feet
high which had been leveled and used
evidently as a garden spot. Down the hill
sides and along the ravines We found these
terraces at regular intervals. They had ap-
parently served as reservoirs for the valley
below In the houses We found crockery,
stone implements and invariably charcoal.
In a cave we found some scraps Of excel
lent wooden cloth and also of a flax or linen
cloth 1t is clear TO us from our investiga-
ton that the cave jewellers and the mound
jewellers were the same people.
