REPrRLrc SPECTAn

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Oct s.-The Daily Trade
Record, an independent publication. de-
voted to textile industries. publishes the
following letter from a selling agent Of
one of the mills he represents. which goes
to prove the fallacy Of the claims made by
the Republican party that a tax on wool
is necessary TO protect the American wool
raiser.
The writer of this letter is. according 70
the Record. a. Republican, and. Judging
from its tenor. is perfectly familiar with
his subject. The letter reads:
JUST a few lines to interest you upon
the falsity of the Republican hish-tarif
promises that with a duty of II cents per
pound on wool we should lave our farm
ers and sheep raisers increasing their
focks. and have a much larger product
OF American-grown wool than ever be-
fore in the history of the United States.
In &c, when Mckinley contested for
the presidency, a great cry was raised
about the free wool clause OF the Wilson
bill. If we had a duty Of II cents a pound,
it was promised. sheep would be grazing
upon every hill: wool would. as a United
States product, increase with leaps and
bounds as never before. In fact. we were
ali informed that the magic Il cents per
pound duty would aus the sheep to
produce more lambs, grow much better
wool, and much more per sheep than here
tcfore. In fact. as one Senator stated in
New York to a body Of hardshell-backed.
high-protection manufacturers: We have
caused the sheep to grow all the kinds Of
wool you desire but one, /. E., shoddy.
and to that request the poor sheep turn
their stern ends n fatty refuse
to comply
MILLIONS WEAR SHODDY.
Alas, what a large amount Of shoddy
has nevertheless clothed millions Of the
people of the United States.
Now let US see how much increase OF
wool and sheep there was in the United
States during the past twenty years, and
Increase since the late President Mckin,
ley signed the Dingley bill and restored

THE TWIN CITIES.

The mayor Of Minneapolis made
very good speech on Friday at the
Commercial club in which he advocated
the union of the two cities whose in
terests are almost identical. It is an
excellent idea, beautiful dream to be
realized when the millennium will have
come, when men are angels and when
Minneapolis is ready to merge its
greatness under the name of st. Paul.
For Of course we should insist upon
calling this great city st. Paul.
1t might be that the citizens Of our
twin would hold out for the name Min
heapolis, but If they go on showing
the beautiful spirit expressed in the
mayors speech, there is not much
doubt that they will see the fitness of
calling the Western metropolis by the
saints name. But If the future holds
no beautiful change in human nature
and Minneapolis citizens do not reform
with age, then there might come
contest as to the name for this city,
and a new and wholly different one
would have to be found. How about
McVeyville? Certainly the professor
knows more about these two cities
than any one else, and also facts about
them that no other living man knows.
It would be a delicate compliment.
Why not?
In his speech the mayor of Minneap-
lis also referred to the McVey mat
ter, which is not yet closed incident.
He said 1t would be a pity to disturb
Prof McVey either in his chair of
economics, or in relation to the COM
mittee for the Twin City exhibit. He
pleaded for the professor touchingly,
and said that st. Paul was too well
known to be injured by his misstate-
ment. He said further that McVey can
not possibly hurt st. Paul now. as the
statistics he is compiling are in the
aggregate. and that IL the figures pre-
scented were of the cities separately he
would not blame the people of st. Paul
for Directing. 1t strikes US that Prof.
McVey should be protected from his
friends.

1t happens in the present instance

instincts and to the development of the

that connection. But in the abyss to

THE OLD CAPITOL

The suggestions that have been made
as to the ultimate uses to which the
present capitol shall be put all point
to the retention of the building In the
service OF the state for administrative
purposes Indeed, as we remember it,
NO other disposition can be made of
the property under the deed Of gift
by which it passed to the people-it
must remain in use for state govern
ment purposes.
1t IS apparent that there will be much
need of the building, for already the
needs of the government have out
grown the new building. Since the
new capitol was planned there has
been a great growth in the activity
and resources of some Of the depart
ments that were then in the enbryotfc
state. The work Of the state dairy and
food commission has grown and Is
growing yearly. Going past the aims
of it's origfnators, it is branching out
into work that cannot be called other
than useful In order to carry it's
purpose to the end this department
must be provided with a great deal
more room than 1t now has and the
laboratory facilities must be greatly
elaborated. 1t might properly and le-
gally be given some of the space in
the building.
But the greatest use for the old
building will be found in devoting 1t to
the use OF the State Historical society.
The history of the state Of Minnesota
is writer, in the thousands of tones
now piled away and almost inaccessi-
by the society. If the books, trophies,
newspapers and specimens now con-
tanned in the storerooms of the society
were properly housed for display they
would require great deal Of room.
and the first floor of the building
would certainly not contain them.
It would be the part of wisdom for
the state to turn the old building over
to the State Historical society. 1t
would thus serve its proper end in
the administration of the state as the
repository Of its archives and would
insure the maintenance of the society
In it's present fourishing condition.
And there would still be room for the
laboratories of the dairy and food COM
of control and the state railroad and
warehouse commission.
