The Tariff.

The democratic party has been, and
will continue to be, the consistent op
ponent of that class of tariff legisla-
ton by which certain interests have
been permitted, through congressional
favor to draw a heavy tribute from
the American people. This monstrous
perversion of those equal OPP
portunities which our political institu-
tions were established to secure has
caused what may once have been in
FAINT industries to become the greatest
combinations of capital that the world
has ever known. These especia
favorites of the government have,
through trust methods, been converted
into monopolies, thus bringing TO an
end domestic competition, which was
the only alleged check upon the ex-
travagant profits made possible by the
protective system. These industrial
combinations, by the financial as
sistance they can give, now control
the policy of the republican party.
We denounce protection as a rob-
berry of the many to enrich the few,
and We favor a tariff limited to the
needs of the government, economically
administered and so levied as not to
discriminate against any industry,
class, or section, to the end that the
burdens of taxation shall be dis,
tributed as equally as possible.
We favor revision and gradual
reduction of the tariff by the friends
of the masses and for the common
veal and not by the friends of its
abuses, its extortions, and its dis
ordinations. keeping in view the
ultimate ends of equally of burdens

Trusts.
We recognize that the gigantic

Crops in Kanahec

There has never been a time when
all our agricultural crops promised the
farmers of this county so rich re-
ward for their industry as the present
season. The hay crop Of all varieties
is immense and the favorable weather
for the past few weeks has given an
opportunity for securing this crop in
fine order. Thousands of tons of hav
have been harvested in this county dur
ing the past two weeks. Many of our
farmers have put up from one hundred
to three hundred tons each. The oat
crop is fine and will return prolific
yield. The same can be said of pota-
toes, onions and other garden truck.
The acreage of wheat is small, but the
prospects for a bumper yield are great.
Corn is a little behind, but with a few
more weeks of good yellow weather
it will be far from a failure. a few
more weeks Of good weather and the
harvest will be ended, the crops Sc
cured andsth farmers well, rewarded
for their labor.-Mora Times. IS,

Dakota County Suggestion.

"A county assessor to be appointed
by the judges of the district court for
term of five years without eligibility
to disappointment is needed in order to
make tax assessments evener on the
people Of this county. The recent
efforts of the county board of equal
ization found great inequalities not
all of which could be remedied. The
taxable property of South St. Paul for
instance is assessed in many cases as
low as one tenth of it's actual value
while the farms and villages find their
personal property assessed at about
fifty per cent. What is needed is a.
man OF good judgment who shall be
paid good salary, not less than one
hundred dollars month. who shall
be in position to deal without fear
OF removal and without motive for
tavorltlsm. When such assessment is
made by one man for the whole county
greater equality will be secured and
then burden that is certainly a bur-
den would find evener adjustment to
the shoulders bearing it.-Dakota

good many horses were sold, Frank

several head of horses. A liveryman
from Cambridge was over and also
took away several head of horses.

likewise. The next sale will be reg

Dunn and State Taxes.

Through some oversight. the CON-
mlttee on resolutions appointed by
Senator Clapp at the State conven-
ton, neglected to incorporate in the
resolutions clause pledging the party
to the support of the four per cent tax
on the rgoss earnings of railroads.
Mr.. Dunn has always stood for this
Increased tax and in fact was the first
one to suggest such an increase. He
did this while he was State auditor.
Although the party platform is silent
on the matter Mr.. Dunn at the first
meeting of the State central committee,
the committee which is to manage the
campaign, made a speech in which he
said that he considered the four per
cent gross earnings tax of vital i'm
portance and that he wished the cam
paign this fall to be waged with spec
lal efforts to arouse the people to the
Importance of the measure in order
that they vote on the law which is
to be submitted to them at the election.
Dunn's public acts have always been
designed to aid the people. For eight
years, while State auditor, he guarded
their interests and his policies saved
the taxpayers hundreds of thousands
OF dollars. It was generally admitted.
during the campaign for the nominal
ton, that on his record as State audi
tor he was entitled to the nomination
but it was urged that he had now
proved traitor to the people and had
tied up to the railroads and was their
candidate for the governorship. The
fact that Dunn's first public utterance
after receiving the nomination was to
announce his firm determination to
increase the taxes of the railroads and
to urge the party managers to CO.
operate with him to that end, effect
ually disposes of the base SANDER that
he is in league with the railroads and
shows that he is, as he always was,
the faithful guardian of the peoples
interests. Prairie Leader.

clded in favor of the nomination of r.
G. Dunn, it ought to stop its clatter
and cease protesting against the
choice Of the convention. It is not
only Mr.. Dunn, that the Journal is
protesting against, but the entire con-
vention of the party in Minnesota.
Surely the Journal does not desire
to arrogate to itself peculiar powers
which cannot be considered much less
than dictatorial. The wisdom of the
Journal is certainly not greater than
the combined wisdom of the Republi-
can party. If there was any procedure
in the convention that could be char
acterized as crooked, unfair or unjust,
or if the majority carried with high
hand or with an arrogant air their
victory and their several choices of
nominees there might be some justif-
cation for gruntlement. But the
fact is that Minnesota Republicans
never held a cleaner convention and
never did the work mapped out by the
party with more sincerity and a higher
type Of honor than at the last cOnven-
ton. If the unseating of the Hennepin
county delegation still rancors in the
breast of the journal, it would be
much better for the Journal to releave
itself OF the nauseous bile in one issue
and get through with it's growing,
snarling, vicious methods. The un-
seating of the Hennepin delegation was
certainly much to the distaste of the
party in convention, but the testimony
offered pro and con seemed so pond
erous in behalf of unseating the dele
CATION that it was by all means the
best possible thing to do in the inter-
est OF clean politics and clean pri-
maries in Minnesota. We do not de-
sire to belittle the great influence ex-
ercised by the Minneapolis Journal.
but the Journal must not think that it
is greater or bigger in Minnesota than
the party to which it belongs. The
day is past and gone for either men or
Journals to dictate to a great party in
this State. The paper or man who at
tempts to dictate is of short duration.
Let the Journal act on the square and
either be silent on the candidacy of
the chosen nominee of it's party, or
stand by the convention that gave him
his nomination.-Eveleth Star.

We notice by the official report that
Ramsey county commissioners met
Sin regular session. on July 4th to
transact business, but the only men,
bers present were two country members
and one from the city. No quorum
was present and the board adjourned
until July 9TH. It must have been a

away and report at the commissioners

Mark h. Dunnell, former congress

Mark II. Dunnell, former congress-
man and distinguished citizen of the
northwest, died at this home at
Owatonna this week of heart failure,
He was eigthy-one years of age. He
taught school in Maine in the latter
forties and among his pupils were
Eugene Hale, Names senior United
Safes senator: John D. Long, former
secretary of the navy; Rev. G.. M. P.
King, president of Wayland semin-
airy, and others of eminence in their
various professions. He came to
Minnesota in 1865 and soon entered
public life, becoming member of the
State legislature in 1867. At the
close of the session he was appointed
State superintendent of public instruc-
ton, filing that position for three and
a half years. He resigned this office
upon his election to congress in the
fall of 1870. He served twelve con-
secutive years in the national house
of representatives, being one Of the
first congressman from the west to be
honored with what might be considered
a long term of service. Mr.. Dunnell
was Republican from the organiza-
ton of the party, being delegate to
the convention which nominated John
G. Fremont in 1856.

diatribe on the nominee of the Repub-

State either daily or weekly, had its
say and took it's position before the
party in which it claims membership
held it's convention. It opposed with
all it's vigor and wide influence the
nomination of r. G. Dunn. It had a
perfect right to take this position and
firmly advocate the candidacy of
