the protective tariff. Ten years ago
this statement would have been de-
nounced by that same paper as the
most bold. faced populist dollar-wheat-
dollar-silver argument. Read it, from
last Wednesday IS issue:
'"The duty on wheat never has had
the least effect on the price since we
began to export largely; though it has
been retained to make the farmer be-
lieve he was getting some direct bene-
fit out of protection. Our export
wheat is sold in the worlds market in
competition, not only with the cheap
grown wheat of Canada, but with the
cheaper grown wheat of India and Ar
gentina. The price made there makes
the price here, and removal of the
duty would not change it. Canadian
wheat completes with Minnesota wheat
as much now as it would if it came
across the line duty free. The only
difference is that then it would all be
handled here, and dealers believe we
should have steadier Market"

Hon. O. O. Sageng, the bright young
populist representative from Otter Tail
county, made the best speech of the
session yesterday. He made some of
the republican house leaders on either
side of the bill appear ridiculous as
he exposed their cringing and shifting
attitudes on this bill for tax reform
which confessedly had been 80 impor-
tant as to warrant them in calling a
special session of the legislature. Mr..
Sageng was favorable to the tax bill
until it was loaded down with the al
lace amendments.

the TAX BILL Is DEFEATED.

the TAX Gill Is DEFEATED.
After mutilating the tax bill beyond
recognition, the house of representa-
tives yesterday defeated the same by q
vote of 60 to "a. Several members
who had been friendly to the original
bill voted against it on account of the
objectional amendments. Some of the
most valuable features of the bill hav-
ing been eliminated, it was best that
the measure be killed. The parts which
gave the assessors power to get at
hidden wealth were by far the most
important ones in the sections relating
to personal property. If they had
been retained there would have been
some show of making the rich tax
dodgers contribute to the support Of
the state and local government, and
thus the burden of the farmer would
have been lightened. With these Sec
lions struck out it is undoubtedly true
that the taxes would fall with even
more weight on the farming commune
ty. There will undoubtedly be an ef-
fort made to revive the measure but
the chances of success are small. The
friends OF tax reform are disguised
with the determined efforts of the lead
ers in the legislature 10 prevent the
passage of any measure that touches
the wealthy classes. The enemies of
the bill are encouraged, and only q
few republican politicians seem to re-
cognize the danger to the party OF 60
ing before the people with confession
of impotence to do thing that they
themselves have recognized as of such
vital Importance that it warranted the
calling of an extra session. The PEG.
pie will probably be heard from later.

An EARLY STATE CONVENTION.

The state committee of the Peoples
party Of Minnesota met at St. Paul
last Friday evening and decided that
the state convention shall be held at
some date between June Is and July
Is of this year. This is the period
within which it is most convenient for
farmers to leave their work during the
summer months and it is mainly from
the farming districts from which the
demand for the continued existence
and growth of the populist party
comes. From all the old strongholds
of the populist party comes the de-
mand for the placing of the organiza-
tion in fighting trim. Populist prin-
ciples are marching on and have won
recognition from the people of both
the old parties. 1t has come to the
pass where even republican statesmen
are protesting belief in populistio
principles in order to hold their pop
ularity with the masses. This glad
dens the hearts of the old populists,
but their experience in the past warns
them that the adoption of these prin-
ciples cannot be trusted to the hands
of those controlled by the enemies of
populism. They feel more than ever
the need of standing by themselves in
dependently, ready as balance of
power to propose measures of pro-
gress and to assist in any good work
by whoever proposed, or on the other
hand, to assist in the fight to the death
of vicious legislation. A populist is
q man who has been divorced from
the worship of party name. He cares
less for the party than for the prin-
ciples it represents. This desire to
promote the principles of the party re-
CARELESS of consequences to themselves
have led populists in the past to make
sacrifices of party prestige, such as
would appall one who is held captive
under the spell of party name. The
patriotism thus displayed has been
mistaken for weakness, and the OBJ
servant populist has found that as the
dread of ap independent popular up
rising has receded in the minds of the
old line politicians, their attitude of
political virtue has been supplemented
with q desire for an understanding
with the corruptiDg Influences of the
nation. Therefore, unless Signs fail,
we expect to see renewed interest
manifested in the peoples organize
ton in Minnesota and eventually in
the nation. The best thing that can
possibly happen to promote true tax
reform and bring about needed rail-
road control will be q rousing PEG.
ple's state convention during the ear:
ly summer. Let all old populists re.
spond to the call when issued and put
their shoulders to the wheel. Let
them blow upon the embers of their
zeal until the fires of patriotism shall
glow and the path of freemen shall be
illumined with the blazing torch Of
enligh eminent and progress.
