in having such organizations within
her line.
It is about time that John Lind
reiterated the statement that he
would not he candidate for the
governors chair next year. When
he does do SO again, it will un-
doubtedly be in all seriousness and

nation of the people of Minnesota,
that Mr.. Lind will be obliged
to ''go way back and sit down.
The violent manner in which the
growth of American trade was dis
cussed by German manufacturers at
Berlin showed they are badly hurt.
The denunciation of the United

characterizing our consuls in Ger
many as paid spies employed t"
watch the factories was simply
tribute to American intelligence
and enterprise Tariff laws alede-
signed to benefit the county that
makes them, and consular off GERS
! the world over are expected to be
active in the promotion OF trade.

In the midst of this unprecedented
prosperity the seeker after trouble
is again heard in the land. He
wants a revision OF the Tariff. He
wants to disturb the foundations of
business and bring about an
other era OF >taynatiun. illeness and
despair. II the American electorate
can be twice deluded within a de-
cade to take. action that has invaria-
