There is fear expressed by some
that the 10 per cent of the stock asked
for by Mr., Collins from Mankato, can
not be raised. 1t would seem that
there ought to be no trouble in raising
that amount in the city for such an
enterprise, especially under the
guarantee which Mr.. Collins offers to
make. 1t is an investment upon
which, if properly managed, there
ought to be no risk, and the manage
ment of the property will be virtually
placed by the terms of his proposition
in the hands of Mankato people. There
ought to be strong effort made at
least to raise the required amount.
If this cannot be done, then perhaps
negotiations can be entered into by
which the local subscription asked for
can be reduced somewhat But in
the Judgment of the Free Press this
should not be asked for, until the city
has been thoroughly canvassed
1t will be recalled that the state
ment made at the council meeting Fri
day evening that if municipal light
ing plant was out of the question,
capital was ready to put in a new
lighting plant. This being SO, why
not divert this capital or the greater
part of it, to this new field, which
will give the city not only first class
lighting plant, but rapid transit and a
line into the country as we'll II
would surely be as profitable, or more
SO, than simply lighting plant alone
would be, and. would yield large re-
turns to the city at large. If large
part of this capital, which is said to
stand ready for such an investment
can be so diverted, the balance ought
to be easily raised. Why not try iii

In the recent municipal elections in
this state the interest in the mayor
atty fight at Fargo and Grand Forks
was greatest. In Fargo, Mayor John
son was defeated, Mr. Sweet being
successful by between fifty and sixty
votes. In Grand Forks the silk.stock-
ing candidate, DIR. Wheeler, the crack
rife shot. was supported by Geo. VIM
ship, Ernie Kent and the goody-goody
gang OF Pecksniffs. He was defeated
by plurality of los votes in favor Of
Mayor Dinnie, the candidate Of the
sinners and other ordinary people. In
Bismarck the Patterson faction seems
to have cut only a few chunks of polit-
ical ice. In the Fourth ward, where
in the Northwest hotel is situated,
and where its employees vote, Land
lord Patterson was elected by 9 major
ity much less than any Of the other
aldermanic candidates received. And
that was as far as It went. The three
other successful candidates for alder

In answer to correspondents the
Record will state, first, that land can
not be successfully contested where
the entryman has complied with the
law for five years and then moved
away. That ID, it cannot be success-
fully contested, where such q con-
dition prevails. before the seven or
eight years allowed . homestead
claimant within which to make proof
has passed. In other words, . person
may file on q homestesd, reside there-
on and comply with the law Tor i've
years, and then move away without
making proof. But he must make
the proof within the statutory period.
In the matter Of length OF time
allowed 10 which to make prpof on :
homestead claim, there is considerable
misunde nderstanding. a law went iato
effect July %, 1904, which extended
from seven 70 eight years the time
allowed within which TO make proof
to those who fled before the said July
-. 1894. It will thus be seen that iii
of those who fled before July %, 1894,
must prove up BY or before the 2eth Of
next July. as their eight years will be
up on or before the date named. All
who have tiled since said July 26, 1894,

Protection vs.. Free Trade.

Will farmers ever learn that they
have to sell their crops in the free
trade markets of the world, while
protection has cunningly raised the
price Of nearly everything they buy?-
York PA. Gazette.
Yes, the farmers learn, and they
learned few things from 1893 to 1897
that they will not soon forget. They
learned among other things that % a
bushel for their wheat that Demo-
cratic orators promised them if Cleve-
land was elected never materialized;
but, instead, they got SO cents for
their wheat during the Cleveland ad-
ministration. They also learned that
they do not have to depend upon for
eign markets for the sale Of their crops.
Whatever of market has been
developed for American farm crops in
foreign lands they know has been un-
der the protective administrations of
Mckinley and Roosevelt. The farm
er only needs the foreign market for
his surplus. The great bulk OF the
farm products of the country are con-
sumed at home, and the home market
is the farmers best market. During
the panic times of 1893-97 the farmer
suffered because his home market was
curtailed. When the labor of the
country was idle and soup-houses were
called into being to keep laboring
men and their families from starving,
there was no demand for farm pro-
duce. The farmers best customers,
the American wage-earners, we're idle
and had no money to buy farm pro-
duce. No possible foreign market
could make up to the farmer the
loss Of his home market, and the farm
er has learned that fact by bitter
experience. Protection has enlarged
the farmers home market, and also
given him good foreign markets for
his surplus. He doesn't have to de-
pend on the foreign markets; If he
did, he would find himself lamentably
short at the end OF the year. Free
trade closed the factories, but protec-
tion opened them and brought pros
perity to the farmer, and you can't
fool him now with your free-trade
cant. The statistics Of the country
show that only per cent of our farm
products are exported. The great
bulk, 95 per cent, is sold and con-
sumed at home. No; the farmers new
er will learn "that they have to sell
their crops in the free-trade markets
Of the world" They don't have to do
any such thing. There is a possibil-
ity Of so developing our industries
that we need not depend on any for
eign demand for our farm products.
The home market is the farmers best
market, and he wants to hold that
against the inroads of the frce-trader
who would rob hin, Of it.-York (Pa.) J
