Thewhole world stands amazed at
the present unprecedented prosperity
of the United States. There never
has been time in the history of any
country when the conditions equaIled
it. All classes of people, the laborer,
the farmer, the dealer and the manu-
facturer are enjoying this substantial
prosperity, and it is monument to
the wise policy of the Republican
! party to which it is in a great meas
ure due the policy of sound money
and protection; protection to the
manufactures, to the farmer and to
| the American laborer. The best proof
of any policy or theory is the results
of its practical operation. We are
now ENJOYING such results that prove

and singing a different refrain? then

faith linked their fortunes with the

The board of prison managers, by
advice of Warden Wolfer, passed
resolution at their monthly meeting
this week, which is Of interest and of
prime Importance tothe farmers. The
law regulating the sale of prison
binder Irvine provides that if the sea-
sons output is not all ordered ID adj
vance, by farmers, before May f,that
the balance left on hand at that date
may be sold to dealers, who will resell
it to fsrmers at an advance in price.
Heretofore many farmers have delay
ed ordering the Irvine until welllalongs
towards harvest, when they could
better Judge how much, they would

quently found that there was no pri-
son Irvine left to supply their wants,
as the stock remaining on hand May

The commission appointed to revise
the tax laws of Minnesota and report
at special session of the legislature
to be held next winter, is deep in the
study of the subject, and have taken
hold of the work with an enthusiasm
which promises we'll for gooq results.
The members of the commission are
visiting various points in the state,
making thorough investigation of
the workings of the existing tax laws
and conditions in Minnesota. The
tax laws of other stateswill be brought

ism last year are already casting about
