Anenf the Circus.

Editor Haald.-Well. the circus has
come and gone-gone with thousands
Of hard earned dollars which ought to
have remained here. But the finan-
cial part is not the biggest item-the
aftermath Of the circus is distinctly
bad. All along every road leading out
Of Farmville, Saturday night could be
seen men, white and colored, drunk,
halfdrunk, staggering or staggering.
II didn't look nice
A thought like this came to me: II,
when those hundreds Of Methodist
stewards, Presbyterian elders and Bap-
list deacons were enjoying the pirouett-
ing Of Mademoiselle Evangellina Is

her own sweet thoughts and a blue
ribbon, il, / say, that just about then
Gabriel had given a blast on his trump.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-10-31

of the eastern states beyond the Ale
ghenies set about to open up the nu-
merous furnaces on the Atlantic coast
which have been practically idle for Is
years on account of the competition of
the Lake Superior ores, and the Penn
sylvania and Ohio furnaces, and the
duty on iron ore which has kept out
the cheap Mexican, Cuban and Nova
Scotian ores?
L ask the question again, WHY does
Bede or any other man want to strike
the duty off of iron ore, and particular
ly single out the one great thing that
is today building up Two Harbors and
all Lake and st. Louis counties, and
may in the next ten or fifteen years
make Lake and St. Louis counties i'm
measurably rich with iron manufac-
turtles, ETC.?
! I suppose if the Republican party
sees fit to reduce the tariff generally
iron ore and lumber may have to take
their, chances with other articles on the
schedule, but again I say, why should
anyone single out iron ore or lumber,
the two great articles of commerce of
Two Harbors and Duluth, and ask IL
have them made duty free?
I read the opening speech of Mr.. Fay
at the Armory at Duluth and 1 see that
he is unqualifedly opposed to, at this
time, taking the duty off of everything
we have to sell in this district and
leaving it on everything that we have
to buy. There are over $4,000 people
in st. Louis and Lake counties sub
sisting upon, or dependent upon our
iron industry, and it seems to me that
every voter in these two counties has
more, than party interests at. stake
1 believe that the future of the two
counties is at stake right on this prop
Iosition.
If Mr.. Bede did not know what he
was saying he cannot be excused, fol-
it then appears that he is not compe-
tent to act on important legislation and
is likely to fly off,. If he thought he
was right, and was speaking advisedlS
then all the more is he to be con
demned. If he advanced this PROPOSE
ton to catch Democratic votes, be
cause the Democratic party stands 70
