squeezing of water out of inflated
stocks of industrial companies have
put powerful weapon in the hands of
those who believe that the safety of
the country depends upon the corpora
tions being subjected to searching ex-
animation and regulation. If as re-
suit of this the laws which may be
passed to effect this shall be too harsh
and sweeping, the men to blame are
those whose folly or greed produced
the conditions complained of.
st. Paul Dispatch: His speech,
whose keynote is permanency of the
policy with every-increasing taxation,
shows that Mr.. McCleary is not re-
publican. He stands with that class,
benefciaries of the protection, who
have carried the theory of protection
one step towards state socialism, not
with sanction of law, but against.it.
From being sheltered from outside
competition by law they have advanced
to sheltering themselves from inside
competition by forming combinations
or trusts. Saved from exterior COM
petition by the tariff they control the
domestic prices of their products and
maintain prices here by selling their
surplus abroad at or below cost. They
aim at monopoly and in many of the
larger lines have secured it. They are
the strenuous supporters of Mr.. Nc
Cleary's idea of the tariff.

Minnesota Dairy Interests.

Minnesota Dairy Interests.
Senator Clapp in his timely address
at orr county fair touched upon the
vast dairy industry of Minnesota plac-
ing us in the first rank as dairy state.
1t is we'll to keep before the people
some facts requiring our remarkable
and uniform victories in competition
with other states.
Our first real prominence was at New
Orleans. In 1884 Minnesota won the
grand sweepstakes at the New Orleans
cotton exposition. Since then Mime
sofa manufacturers of butter and
cheese have scored a constant success
sion of triumphs. In 1896 at the National
Creamery Butter-makers' contest, in
1897 at the Owatonna meeting of the
same association, in 1898 at Topeka, in
the same year four first premiums at
the Omaha exposition, in 1899 again at
the National Butter makers contest
at Sioux Falls, in 1900 at Lincoln.
Then next year came the Pan Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo with the
famous dairies of New York only a
short haul distant. There Minnesota
took second place in the sweepstakes
and was in the lead in most of the scor-
ings with no allowance for distance of
transportation. Experts agreed that
Minnesota stood shoulder to shoulder
with New York as dairy state.
Minnesota dairy products carried off
more prizes than those of any other
state at the Butter Makers conventions
at St. Paul in 1901 and at Milwaukee
in 1902 and the entries at those meet
ings were larger than ever before.
The crowning triumph was the CAP
ture of the grand sweepstakes prize at
the Paris exposition in 1900, in compe-
tition with the world. At St. Louis
Minnesota is repeating her victories of
the two decades.
Last year the value of the Minnesota
butter product alone was $18,3OO,OOO.
The farmers received twelve and a
quarter million dollars for their milk.
Facts are eloquent sometimes and
the ones recited here certainly illustrate
the value of diversiication of agricul-
tural products more forcibly than all
the abstract oratory and printed gener-
alizations that could be produced.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not
household necessity is Chamberlain's s
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about third the time usually re-
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be treated before inflam-
nation sets in, which insures quick
recovery. For sale by all druggists.

The Primary Election Fake

Here is another beauty of the pri-
mary election law. A man who voted
for any party ticket at the last election
a I'D who changes to another party, can
not vote at the coming primary elec-
tion. He is disfranchised, so far as
having a right to help nominate Of
fcers. That is the ruling of the assist
ant attorney general. This is a mag
nificent statute. First, it permits any
one to become candidate for any office
named in it's provisions, upon paying a
certain amount to the proper officer.
In other words a man purchases the
privilege of running for an Office, and
the state sells him that permission.
He has to buy that which he is entitled
to by being an American citizen. Next
he must make campaign for the NOM
ination, against as many others as have
bought the "liberty" to ask for it. The
voters make the nomination choosing
between the self-named candidates, but
the one who gets the nomination will
be in almost every instance the lucky
fellow who already has the Office and
keeps the emolument in his own family.
A nomination being made, a second
campaign follows, with it's added ex-
pense, and the result of an election
is more apt than not to be that the man
large majority Of the voters do not
want gets the plum. For instance, if
there are four candidates for one
Office, as there is for one in this county,
anyone who gets the most votes re-
ceives the nomination. If the vote
were evenly divided within one vote,
the one who has that one vote is the
nominee Of the county, although he is
not the choice of the county within
three-fourths, lacking one. Yet the
farmers, for whom ostensibly the law
was enacted, have made the nomina-
tion! Again the man in office has a
large percentage in his favor, for he
will get votes from all parts of the coun-
ty while his opponents are liable to get
support only from their own localities.
And smile that spreads over the
countenance of an Office holder is child
like and bland as candidates increase
for his place. There is considerable
agitation over the state to have the law
extend to state offices. By all means,
if we are to be "blest" with a continu.
ance of it, let it go as far as it can
and make life job for all the "serv,
ants" of the people. e.-Rochester Post
and Record.

THERE is little doubt that levy will
be made this fall for the paving of Main
street south to the postottice. The
movement will be hailed with great
satisfaction by all our citizens. Those
who have recently been in Mason City
and other progressive towns have noted
that the pavements add greatly to the
appearance and utility of the streets.
There is no reason why Austin should
be behind towns like Waseca in this
important improvement. ...:.. g

Window Reporter: Garden seeds
and letters calling attention to them
are very nicely written, but they are
simply a part of the McCleary machine
to catch voters. It is an easier thing to
get garden seeds which cost the sender
nothing, and on which Uncle Sam pays
the postage, than to attack the mono
poles and the trusts. Perhaps the
seeds sent would cost the farmers ten
cents. But will they blind him to the
fact that the congressman has done
nothing in all his years in congress to
legislate in their interest and adjust
the burdens daily placed upon them by
the great corporations of New Jersey?

Marx Twain's Coyote Description.

The coyote OF the farther des-
erts is a long slim, sick and sor-
~ looking skeleton with a gray
wolf skin stretched over it; a toll
erably bushy tail that forever
says down with despairing ex-
preston of forsakenness and mis-
cry, a furtive and evil eye, and
a long, sharp face, with slightly
lifted lip and exposed teeth.
He has a general Sinking ex-
preston all over. The coyote
is living, breathing allegory Of
want. He is always hungry.
He is always poor, out of luck
and friendless. The meanest Of
creatures despise him and even
the heas would desert him for a
velocipede. He is so spiritless
and cowardly that, even while
his exposed teeth are pretending
a threat. the rest of his face IS
apologizing for it. And he is
50 homely! so scrawny, and rib
by, and coarse haired, and pitiful |!
When he sees you he lifts his lip
and lets a fash of his teeth out
and then turns little out of the
course he was pursuing, de
presses his head bit and strikes
a long, soft-footed trot through
the sage brush. glancing over his
shoulder at you from time to
time till he is about out of easy
pistol range, and then he stops
and takes a deliberate survey OF
you. He will trot fifty yards,
and stop again; arother fifty, and
stop again; and finally, the gray
OF his gliding body blends with
the gray OF the sage brush, and
he disappears.

tants, acting on the advice of the
soothsayer of ueighboring vii.
lage, exhumed the body at mid
night and, with many organizations
hurled the body from one to an
other on pitchforks, at the same
time violently restraining from in

besought them to desist. All con
cerned in the outrage have been
arrested, and This time an example
is to be made.
