sHELTERINe TWO MoNoPoLIEs.

There is no man on earth so fool
hardy who, while claiming to have any
knowledge whatever of his subject,
would declare that the Standard Oil
concern is not, SO far as the American
consumers of oil are concerned, a mo-
nopoly pure and simple. The monopoly
which it possesses has been created
chiefly through resort to every agency,
including the most heinous crime
against individual and state alike in its
effort to drive out and keep out com-
petitors. If ever the true history of the
Pennsylvania Oil fields is written it
will be found to reek in disclosures of
public and private outrage quite as ex-

SENATORS IVES AND M'NAMEE.

During the existence of the last two
sessions of the legislature of this state
no more useful, more industrious or
more conscientious men were included
in the membership of the state senate
than the two gentlemen who repre-
scented respectively the Thirty fourth
and the Thirty-fif senatorial dis
tricts, included in this county-Messrs.
McNamee and Ives.
These gentlemen were elected by the
votes of Democrats and fndepend-
ent citizens over their Republican OPP
ponents. They have given the amplest
proof of their worthiness Of the honor
thus done them. They have not only
served their party, but they have serv-

MINERAL PRODUCTS
AND LOST WORK DAYS
Latter in Coal Fields Foot Up Twenty
Millions for the Pres
ent Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22.-The
annual volume on the mineral re-
sources of the United States for 1901,
prepared by DR.. David t. Day, of the
geological survey. shows the number
OF working days lost in strikes in the
coal industry. The number of days
lost for the present year is placed at
20,000,000 days, compared with 733,S02
days in 1901, 4,87S,102 in 1900, and
2,124,154 in 1899.
The report places the total mineral
product of the country for the year at
$1,0S6, 529,521,sa gain of a little more
tEan 2 per cent over the production of
1900. Iron and coal are shown to be
the most important Of our mineral
products. The value of iron in 1901
was $242,174,000, as compared with
Sz59,944 900 in 1900, and the value of
coal was $34S, 1859, as compared with
$306, 81 1854 in 1900.
The value, of fuels increased from
s406,359,351 in 1900 to s442,995,9 04 in
1901. Every variety of fuel increased
in value except petroleum, which
showed an Increase in quantity of
5,763,665 barrels, but-a decline in value
OF $9,571 1878, due to the less valuable
character of the increased product of
the new petroleum fields as compared
with the older fields. Anthracite coal
increased 9,021, 207 long tons in output
and $26,746, 169 in value.

TO DOUBLE OUR PROSPERITY.

Directly to our north is a fertile ag
ricultural territory equal in extent to
that of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota combined. For five years it
has been knocking at our door with
petitions to trade with us by reciproc-
ity treaty.
For five years Republican political
bosses representing the pine stumpage
interest have influenced the dominant
party and defeated all reciprocity
pledges. They have defeated the COM
mercia1 expansion of our state. They
our near neighbors on the north, whose
only crime was that they wished to
give US their trade.
That trade our state bitterly needs.
with its railroads and jobbing interests
allied against Twin City commercial
extension, our opportunity for trade
expansion is into the rich territory to
our north-a territory which, except by
tariff barriers, should and would have
been ours for the past quarter of a
century.
From that territory no power under
the sun, except governmental barriers
erected and held in place by partisan
bigotry and organized greed, can ex-
clude our jobbers and manufacturers,
our merchandise and produce.
Reciprocity with Canada would dou-
BILE the prosperity of the Twin Cities
in a single year. 1t would give us an
impetus far greater than the Alaskan
development has given Seattle, to the
extent that the population and re-
sources Of the Western half of British
| Alaska.
If five years of the Klondike have
| doubled and trebled the population and
| commerce and industrial development
and wealth of Seattle, what would five
years of untrammeled commercial eXpan-
sion through reciprocity with Canada
not do for the Twin Cities, for Duluth
Superior, for Grand Forks and Crooks
ton, for Fargo and Moorhead, for Alex
andria, Brainerd, st. Cloud and the
common commercial and Industrial de-
velopment of Minnesota?
At one leap it would lift the Twin
Cities out of the condition of slow con-
valescence from the depression of the
panic period, and give them a sudden
and powerful impulse forward. Today
in st. Paul all conditions are ripe for
a forward movement. Both business
| blocks and residence sections are rent
ed to the full, and in the retail district
| there are waiting orders for fully 25 per
cent of the space on the most popular
streets, with numerous demands for
new buildings. But capital hesitates
to invest and awaits some new impe-
tus to start the ball rolling The same
condition prevails throughout the state
Reciprocity with Canada would create
that impetus. and one Of tremendous
uplifting power.
Why is it that Seattle has a strong
commercial boom, and Kansas City and
Los Angeles?
| Simply because they have untram-
meled commercial expansion into the
territory behind and beyond them.
Kansas City is not shut out
of Texas and Oklahoma and
Kansas and Colorado and the
newly developing territory to the south
and west by any artificial barriers;
| and SO it transpires that one Kansas
City bank today holds more de-
posits than all the banks of st. Paul.

THURSDAY, OCT. %, 1902.
A, BRAzEN PROPOSITION.

The Republican managers of this
state have become so brazen in their
methods, that they present as their
candidate for lieutenant governors
the running mate of Gov. Van SAINT
a man against whom the United States
government now has case pending III
the department of justice awaiting
prosecution for timber trespass!
Are the self-respecting voters of a
great commonwealth going to indorse
such a proposition in their ballots at
the polls?
Has partisan blindness become so
callous that man whose case is be-
fore the federal court on serious
charge can secure the Republican nom
ination with impunity for the high Of
flee of lieutenant governor, and there
after make successful appeal to the
100000 voters Of Minnesota for their
Endorsement of his qualifications for
position of public trust and duty?
If that is the political condition Of
this state, of what avail is character,
popular suffrage?
For years Republican officials have
protected the wholesale depredations of
public pine forests in our state; but
never before has machine politics been
so braZen as to take up a candidate
against whom the government has pre-
ferred charges and nominate him for
a high position on the state ticket while
the case was pending!
Common decency would dictate that
the candidate should wait at least until
his case had received it's hearing in
court and been settled, before asking
the people for their suffrage.
Do Republican managers think that
the people of Minnesota are so deaf and
blind that anything labeled Repub-
lican, even if it smell heavenward, can
receive support at the polls?
With a pine stumpage king as ma
-tional Republican committeeman for
the state and Republican tariff under
which lumber has risen So per thou
sand in five years, do Republican bosses
figure that any measure or candidate
identified with the lumber cause is en-,
titled to the Republican vote?.
The Glob e does not believe that
the farmers, workingmen and business
men of this great state will stand for
such brazen programme.
That partisanship has become so
densely insane is unbelievable. Ger
tatnly there is patriotism enough in the
North Star state to teach the response
bic bosses that such methods cannot
prevail.

Witnesses say that Moore hunted
Jeffrey up and shot him down while
he was unarned, the reason as
signed being that Jeffrey had &C

patch. Jeffrey made no denial of
having said as much, but said he
was not armed, and tried to avoid
a difficulty. Moore's fight would
indicate that it was not a case of

The Vote.

The above figures are complete
except as TO one small precinct in
Hancock county that cannot change
the result Stanley wins by 40
over Brasher and 541 over Taylor,
in a total of more than 1900 votes.
1t is always an easy matter to
point out the causes after the effect.
Judge Taylor's friends claim that
Taylor was defeated by Oil voters
in his own county who voted
against him, although it was
claimed that his county was prac-
tically solid.
Brasher clearly lost the nomina-
tion by wasting two weeks of valu-
able time in Henderson county,
where he got only 300 votes. The
same time devoted to Christian
county and to its organization,
which was neglected until the last
week in the campaign, would have
given him 20O0 votes instead of 1l0o
here. Mr.. Stanley wisely refrained
from stirring up the voters in Chris
tian and Hopkins counties, because
he knew that most of them would be
against him.
Stanley's race was a remarkable
one and the result was reached
with only such an organization
as his friends made for
him by their voluntary exer-
tions. The young men, usually the
hard workers, rallied to his sup
port in large numbers and helped
him greatly in realizing bis ambi-
ton. Mr.. Brasher is second in the
race and it is a singular coinci-
dence that the outcome was tore
told by fortune when the caudi-
dates drew for position on the bal
lot a month ago. Stanley got first
place, Brasher second and Taylor
third.
The district committee VIII re.
assemble at Dawson next Saturday
to canvass the county returns and
declare the result.
