w. J. Bryan listened to Cham
berlain's Cardiff speech, in which
he described the growth of the
American tin-plate industry. 1t is
permissible to ask whether the ex-
Colonial Secretary's auditor was re-
minded of certain assertions made
by him in the House of Represen-
tatives concerning the Tariff on tin
plate. Free-Traders forget their
predictions so easily, it is very
probable that the fact that Bryan
declared in a set speech that Amer
leans could never acquire skill
enough to manufacture tin plate in
competition with the Welshmen,
and that the Mckinley bill could
not accomplish the result it aimed
at of establishing tin-plate III
dustry, entirely escaped his mem
ory.-San Francisco "Chronicle. "

aloud his pledge to Senator Clapp?
Where were all these fellows when
Dunn was working every night for
weeks to help make Mr.. Clapp the
successor of G. X. Davis?"
So did Eli Warner, Fred Schiff-
man, Oar Reese and others, but
while these gentlemen are for Mr..
Dunn they are dead against the Sen

know is, els Mr.. Dunn in favor
of the state convention endorsing
Senator Clspp for reelection, and
if he is nominated and elected Gov

answered by yes or no. Will Mr..

MORE ABOUT THE PLATFORM
TRUSTS,

While every intelligent person in
Minnesota knows that in our pres
-ent state of civilization we could
not get along without corporations,
there is settled impression that
amounts to conviction that the
world and. humanity would be bet
ter off if there was not single trust
in existence. They believe in the
enactment of legislation and the en-
forcement of legislation now upon
the statute books to counteract the
constantly increasing tendency to
transform corporations into trusts
and to regulate and control those
already in existence. They know
that the excess profits of trusts over
independent business are derived
from the people for which they re-
>ceive no recompense. They are
aware of the fact that whenever a
trust is created many are thrown
out of employment and many 60 to
work for others who used to work
for themselves. They are fully
convinced the government must run
the trusts or the trusts will run the
government. They deplore their
baneful influence in national and
state legislatures. They realize the
futility-of effective action as long
as each state acts independently of
the other. They know that any
successful legislation looking
towards control must be uniform
throughout the entire jurisdiction
of the nation; that the only way to
secure such uniformity is to put the
matter in the hands of Congress,
that in order to do this an amend.
ment to the national constitution is
necessary.
If the next convention does not
declare for such an amendment it
will not represent the sentiments of
Minnesota Republicans.

FOR THE FARMERS?
The National Government gives
the rivers and harbors some $780,
900, 900 year.
Is l. gives the cities great public
buildings, postoffices, court houses,
etc.
1t gives manufacturers protection
by the tariff.
1t gives it's veterans and their
families $4,000, 900 a year in
pensions as it should.
1t has loaned it's credit to private
individuals TO build railways, and
given them grants of millions of
acres of land.
y 1t has, however, done but little
for the farmer and for agriculture.
The farmer is the backbone of
the country; 1t is he who feeds the
entire population, and he is no
longer satisfied with poor roads.
At last it seems as if the National
Government was going to do some
thing for the farmer. A bill has
been introduced in Congress called
the Brownlow Bill, which appro-
pirates s24, 900, 900 as National aid
for the building of roads. The
farmer wants this bill to pass, and
he is determined that the National
Government shall do something for
him, as we'll as for the rest of its
tcitizens.

AT the present writing the Ma
t1onal Democratic committee is in
session here, and candidates for the
democratic nomination for Presi-
dent are being discussed by all from
all parts of the country. Judge
Parker, Senator German and w.
R. Hearst are most frequently men
toned, but as Tammany Hall has
as yet not expressed preference,
, it is mere guess work to predict the
successful candidate. If Tammany
should decide for Parker, the con.
sensus of opinion is that the solid
south will be for him, and New
| York and the south will very likely
! be able to name the man. In the
meantime the Hearst boom appears
to be gathering strength, and as
Bryan's friends are behind this
movement, it will be an important
factor in the deliberations of the
i National Democratic convention.
This is the opinion of prominent
democrats who cannot believe that
Bryan is politically as dead as many
of their party would have him.
