The so called democratic party
headed by Palmer in 1896 and
supported by Watte1son had a fol-
lowing of 10000 in the United
States and carried one township
in which there we're about six votes
This is the democratic party which
the St. Paul Globe an1 Chicago
Chronicle support. The six mil
lions who supported Bryan are
supposed to know nothing while
the few thousand Palmer helpers
of the republican party in 1896 are
the whole thing-''in a horn" 1t
would seem that candidate for
the presidency would need the
votes of 5000, 900 democrats more
than he would the votes of 10000
republican assistants of 1896. 1t
is absolutely likely that 100000
of voters know as much as 100000
voters and are much safer and
more likely to be trusted with the
reins of government. Majorities
rule in this country.

NORTH DAkorA,s FLAX.

Within the memory OF many
now living in this state it has
been said that farming never
would pay in she region now
known as North Dakota. It was
explained by men who assumed to
know that our state was a bleak
and barren waste, with a soil too
poor for grains and climate so
severe that neither man nor beast
could flourish. How short-sight
ed those wiseacrss wereis evidenc-
ed by the fine farms and splendid
crops of the North Dakota of to.
day. Famous for its hard wheat,
the state is not content to rest on
that grain alone. Farmers are
diversifying their crops and not
the least valuable of their present
products is fax. Farmers are
raising fax at the rate of eighteen
to twenty-one bushels to the acre
and getting rich at the business.
The total fax crop of North Da-
kota is more than fifty per cent of
the entire yield of the United
States, amounting to 100000
bushels and bringing $l9,0O0,000
into the state. The aggregate flax
yield of the United States is about
2S,000,000 bushels, of which, as
we have said, North Dakota
furnishes 100000 bushels,
Minnesota about 100000, South
Dakota 100000 and Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas the
remainder. What better evidence
of the mighty development of the
northwest could there be, by the
way, than the last report of North
ern Pacific gross earnings? From
q country characterized by Gener-
a H4zen not three decades ago as
in the main arid and worthless
that road has derived nearly ten
aud half millions in gross earn
ings in the first three months of
the present fiscal year and the
increase in revenue is expected to
be about 100000 for the four
months of the fiscal year to date.
The Ct. Northern, has nearly
double the miles of road travers-
ing our state and in its report to
be issued shortly will give figures
proportionstely larger.

SENATOR FORAKER is quoted as
having said in his Ohio campaign
that the democratic party 'could
do nothing to change the standard
of values" but that the republican
party "has no such trouble" This
should be accepted as a high COM
pliment to the democratic party,
for it must be remembered that
the change which the republican
party has made in the standard of
values involved an enormous in
justice to the producers of wealth.
