The information which was brought
out yesterday as given to the public
last evening by the local papers, that
Mayer Brothers had an offer to remove
their foundry and machine works from
this city ought to arouse our citizens
to the point of taking prompt &C ton
to prevent if possible such move.
The board of trade took most prompt
and commendable action yesterday
morning when it authorized it's COM
mittee on manufactures to offer such
assistance as possible to assist this
firm to re-establish itself. But this
move ought to receive the hearty CO.
operation of our citizens in substan-
tial way if necessary. While the city
is on the lookout for manufacturing
institutions it should not forget those
now located here. The Mayer Brothers
establishment is too valuable a plant
to be allowed to leave the city, and
steps should be taken at once to make
it an object for them to remain, if
there is any real danger of removal
In any event, a little assistance at
this time might return in tenfold
capacity to the city's advantage in a
short space of time.

CORNSTALK DISEASE.

Vernon Center, Feb. 25, 1901.
Editor Free Press: There seems to
have been more complaint of the loss
of cattle the past season from the So
called cornstalk disease than usual.
Scientists are all at sea as to cause and
remedy. Many theories are advanced
only to be cast aside as worthless. 1
have theory or plan that have fol-
lowed successfully for many years and
will give it to my brother farmers for
what it is worth.
l have been farmer for over forty
years, have fed about the usual num-
Der of cattle kept on two hundred
acre farm, say from twenty-five to
thirty-five head, have always raised
corn, in fact it is what 1 call my
money crop and have every year with
few exceptions, turned my cattle in the
field Immediately after husking and in
all these years I have lost no cattle
from cornstalk disease. Now the ques-
ton Why have my cattle been exempt
from this disease2 All that I have to
offer is simply preventative, and
many years experience has in my
opinion confirmed it's value; That
cattle should have some green or sue
culent food to feed on every day for at
least two or three weeks after being
turned into the stalk fields. Let the
green feed be where they can run to it
when they please and they will mix it
with the stalks about right The
question may be asked what kind of
green feed can you have so late in the
season. That each one must decide
for himself. Ii you have clover field
that you intend to plant to corn the
following year let them feed on the
second crop and pillow in the spring or
sow rape seed in the corn the last time
of cultivation. This gives excellent
feed and it is right where you want it.
Plow the oat ground as soon as DOS
sible after harvesting and thoroughly
drag it and fine crop of feed may
often be raised from the scattered seed.
Almost any farmer can devise some
way to have green feed at this time of
year. L. S. TERRY.

A CHRISTIAN LIFE.
Impressive Remarks at the Funeral of
the Late James T. Fields.

The funeral of the late JAS T. Fields
occurred Wednesday at the First
Congregational church. Mr.. Fields
had been in failing health for some
time, and his death was a happy re-
lease. He was born In Canton, st.
Lawrence county, n. Y, Nov 18th,
1881. He was married in 1859 to
Miss Elizabeth Thompson. Twenty
seven years ago he settled with his
family at ST. Clair, in this county,
where he lived on his farm until he
removed to this city three years ago.
He leaves wife and six children:
Vim. j. and Robert J. Fields of st.
Clair, Mrs. Mary Wells of Mankato,
Mrs. G. W. Ray of Nicollet, Mrs. John
Dane of Cambria, and Miss Fanny NJ
Fields of tn is city. Two of his sisters
from New York, Mrs. Geo. Kelley
and Mrs. Isabel Martin, also Mrs. J.
E. Geary, sister from Cream, and
his brother, Robert, were with him
during his last sickness.
In the address at the funeral, Rev.
7. Merrill Edmands, his pastor, spoke
of his consistent Christian character.
He was honest, patient and faithful
in every relation of life. He had
deep religious nature, and from his
youth had been consistent member
of the Congregational church He loved
and sought to forward everything that
was for the good of the community.
Even in his weakness and in the
wandering of his mind as he neared
his end, his faith was strong and he
slept without fear of his waking, for
he knew that it would be to be with
the Christ that he loved. Such lives
are the strength of good citizenship,
the support of the church and a blessed
heritage for the children. To him
was the promise, "Be thou faithful
unto death.sand 1 will give thee the
crown. of life He lived for his
home, his church and his God, and he
went out of this world to live for these
things in larger sphere of life. The
remains were inferred in the Glen
wood cemetery.

HOW TO DRINK WATER.

Professor Silkham says slowly sip
ping water makes it a very benefici al
beverage. The results vary with the
temperature and the way it is drunk.
Slipping is powerful stimulant to the
circulation, which ordinary drinking
is not. That is why the German way
of drinking beer is universally regard
ed as very healthy. Water is liable to
be impure; besides it can be very
much improved when mixed with the
proper proportion of the essence of bar
ley malt and seasoned hops, in other
words made into Golden Grain
Belt beer. Sip that instead of water
and your health will be greatly i'm
proved. 1t is a splendid tonic for tired
men and women and should be in
every home. Order from your nearest
dealer or you can be supplied by M.
J. Smith.

the tariff is not the Legitimate cause"
of trusts. The cause therefor goes
deeper into our civilization and is
found in many of the results of our
modern progress. Rapid communica-
ton and rapid transit are the real
causes of trusts. Tariffs existed long ago.
but they did not cause trusts, but when
steam and electricity began to exexert
themselves, and as a result brought the
world more closely together then trusts
commenced to appear, and they have
waxed stronger ana stronger as the
progress in steam and electricity has
approached greater perfection. The
people will hardly be fooled by the
efforts of the free traders to create pre-
judice against large aggregations of
capital in order to carry to success
their attack upon our protective prin-
ciple. If there is an industry that can
stand reduction or entire removal of
tariff duties the Republicans stand
ready now, as they always have to
make the change

The United States has come to the
front in the matter of exports and
now leads the world. For the year
1900 the exports of the United States
were 81, 453, O13, $50. Those of Great
Britain were 81, Ais, 34S, 900; while
Germany came third with 81, $50, Gil, =
600. In 1875 both England and Ger
many surpassed the United States in
exports and far the greater portion of
that time up to within the last ten
years Germany has surpassed the
United States but since 1890 this coun-
try has led Germany in the volume of
its exports. A change in position
from third to first in ten years is not
bad.

1t is said the recent railroad consoli-
dations will effect a saving of $S5, 600,
600 annually in their operation. If as
good service is given as has heretofore
been rendered the public will not be
likely to enter complaint, though there
will be curiosity to know what part
of the $25, 600, 900 will eventually be
saved by the people as a result of the
lessened expense occasioned by the con-
solidation. This will doubtless come
about gradually as the state gradually
regulates the carrying charges of the
public carriers.

The senate committee on relations
with Cuba reached an agreement yes
terday as to an amendment to the
army appropriation bill, which it is
thought will tend to solve the Cuban
problem, and render an extra session
of congress unnecessary. The provi-
sions of this amendment are practi-
cally the same as given in these
columns last evening and cover the
points of difference between this
country and Cuba. The entire COM
mittee agreed to the amendment and
there will be no minority report, nor
opposition to it on the floor of the
senate The amendment is said to fully
satisfy the president and he feels that
in its adoption congress will assume
its share of responsibility in the
matter.

FOR BETTER INSPECTION.
Commissioner Mcconnell Will Divide
State Into Five Creamery Districts.

St. Paul, Feb. 26. -Commissioner
Mcconnell of the state dairy and food
department will reorganize the inspec-
ton work under his supervision by
dividing the state into five creamery
districts, each in charge of an inspec-
tor His plans are nearly completed
and will ne put in operation within a
few weeks.
The changes planned are important
to the creamery interests, and will
make state inspection more efficient
than it has ever before been. Under
former administrations the work of
the department was handled by inspec-
tors who had no definite territory, and
was not entirely satisfactory.
The boundaries of the new districts
have not been definitely decided. Three
will be. laid out in the southern part
of the state and two, in the counties
north of the center of the state Each
inspector will be responsible for his
own district, and more efficient work
will result
Each of the three large cities, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, will
have separate inspectors, and two
members of the headquarters staff will
take charge of whatever special work
occurs in any of the districts.

THE ASSAULT ON THE TARIFF.

The free trade organs are again at
it, abiding to the tariff as the legiti-
mate cause of trusts, and that it ought
to be removed on all trust made goods.
The fact of the matter is, that there
is hardly anything in the line of
manufactured goods that is not made
by trust and if the tariff was to be
removed from articles of trust manu-
facture, there would be almost abso-
lutte free trade. but this is what the
free traders want. About the only way
this would effect the trusts would be to
restrict manufacture and cause their
institutions to run on short time, and
at reduced wages to the hands en-
ployed. 1t would in fact effect the
wage earners employed therein to a
far greater extent than it would the
trusts themselves, for it would mean
loss of employment altogether, or
reduced time at reduced wages. But
in spite of the trusts there are many
small manufacturers in every locall-
ties who are doing profitable bust
ness, giving employment in the aggre-
gate to large number of hands, and
the o-called trust cure of free trade
would operate most disastrously upon
them. The great steel trust is prob
ably on scale large enough to protect
itself and would not suffer or be in
the least impaired if the Babcock bill
removing the tariff on it's products
should become law. 1t was formed
for world operations and is protection
within itself and if crowded to any
extent under the working of fee trade,
it would simply cut the wages of its
thousands of employees, and it's own
profit would be little impaired. If any
one suffered under free trade, it would
be labor that would come first. AS to
what effect the Babcock bill would
have on some of the small manufac-
turers of steel and iron products scat
tered here and there, we know not.
1t might not effect them, and then it
might seriously So But as remedy
for trusts the removal of the tariff
would prove dismal failure, because

FOR PRESIDENT.
Mrs VIM. N. PIymat a Candidate for
Dept. Pres. of the W. r. 6.

The Minneapolis Tribune and Times
and the ST. Paul Globe of Tuesday
each contained half tone cuts of Mrs.
VIM. N. Plymat of this city, whose
name will be presented for department
president of the Woman's Relief Corps
at the state convention next month.
Mrs. Plymat has resided in Blue Earth
county nearly all her life and is we'll
known for her benevolent and temper
ance work. The second district has
never been honored with the presi-
dency and recognizes in Mrs. Plymat a
lady we'll qualified for the position.
Minneapolis and Saltwater each have
a candidate but as these localities have
been represented several times the Or
ders in the southern part of the state
believe it is their turn to furnish a
leader. The Free Press joins with her
other friends in hoping Mrs Plymat
may land the prize.

A PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

In the legislature this week one of
the important matters expected to
come up in the bill providing for pri-
mary elections. There is apt to be
rather of hot fight during its con-
sideration and the outcome is hard to
foretell. The professional politicians
are almost solid against the measure,
for if it passes they will be Statesmen
out of job. The people want it and
on the reasoning of some should there
fore have it. There is no question
but that the people are heartily sick of
the present system and desire a
change. They wish a voice in primary
matters themselves instead of giving a
privileged few, as is now the case, the
opportunity of fixing things up in
some back rooms The objection made
by the professional politicians to a
primary election law is first, the at
tendant expense. True there will be
a greater expense attached to it than
under the present system, that is a
greater public expense, but if the peo-
pie desire the change they are doubt
less willing to stand the attendant ex-
pense. 1t is further urged that the
populous sections would get all of the
Offices to the detriment of the less
dense populated sections. But we have
noticed that that is often the case
under the present system. But even
if this is true. and there does Sc EN-
to be something in it, it is matter
that to a greater or less extent will
solve itself in time, or some remedy
will be found.
Under the present system the voters
can decide as to one Office who they
desire to fill it, as to the rest, they
have no choice. This is what they are
tired of and why they demand 6
change. They wish to have voice
in the selection of all who are to fill
the various offices. Call it an expert
ment if you please, it can never be-
come anything else until the people
have had an opportunity to give it a
free and fair trial, that is what they
demand, and it is what they have a
right to expect. The present legisla-
ture may defeat the measure now be-
fore it, if SO it will only postpone
matters two years when, if we mistake
not, the people will demand what they
want in a voice that will not be mis-,
understood.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
Bill For That Purpose Will Occupy Leg
islatiye Attention This Week.

st. Paul, Feb. 26. Direct primary
elections will form subject for good
deal of talk in the house the coming
week
The Hillmond bill, to apply the Min
neapolis method to nominations fol
all offices voted for on the blue ballot,
will be reached early in the week, as
it has been on the house general or
ders for two weeks, so that the mem
beers might familiarize themselves with
| it and have time to think about.
1t will carry a direct primary fol
congressman, judges of the district
court, members of the legislature and
all county officers.
A fierce fight can reasonably be
looked for. This will raise quite
naturally from the widespread differ,
ence of opinion on the merits of the
whole proposition. The details of its
execution have nothing to do with the
main question.
The argument for the bill will be
the same as obtained two years ago,
when it was passed to apply only to
Hennepin county. The sum and sub
stance of it is that it is better to put
the nominations directly into the hands
of the people rather than give that
power to the politicians, through the
convention system.
1t is urged for the bill that it will
abolish log rolling, trading and deals
that result in putting candidates in
the convention who cannot be elected
at the polls. 1t is also claim ed that
the bill will knock machine politics
into oblivion, by giving the people the
first and last chance at filling the
offices.
On the other hand, the DIRECTORS
find fatal complaints.
They allege that the effect of direct
primaries is to give the most populous
part of a county or of district the
chance to hog all the offices.
A representative thus expressed this
view of it:
This direct primary system would
result badly where two or more repre-
sentatives are to be elected in the
same district. The largset county or
the largest ward would get both and
leave the other nothing.
THAT is the way it resulted in Hen
nepin. The city of Minneapolis took
all the members of the legislature and
left the county without one, although
it has 20. 900 people.
THE Fifth and Sixth wards of Min
neapolis are one district, but all the
members were nominated from the
Fifth and the Sixth got none.
''It would be the same way in the
country. A large county would get
the district judge and all the members
of the legislature.
1.-The largest town in county would
get all the county officers and the viii
lage and the country would get moth
ing.
1.-The result would be even worse in
the country than in Minneapolis, for
the farmers don't turn out for the pri-
maries as they do in the villages and
the cities. 1t is hard enough now in
some country districts to get out
farmers enough to elect delegates.
And it would hurt the farming COM
munities. because votes would count. 1"
In reply, the advocates of the bill say
that these fears are largely imaginary
and would only be temporary at the
worst. The farmers would soon learn
that their votes counted and go to the
poles for the primary election.
