seemed always glad to place at our dis
posal In return, MIR. Perkins, as an
individual and as an editor, has treat
ed us with the highest consideration.
We can say truthfully that the keen
est regret the writer has experienced
in years is his inability to support
Uncle George for governor.
A great issue has arisen in this ma
tion an issue which men discuss in
every hamlet The question is. shall
the government control the corpora
lions. or shall the corporations con-
troll the government? The people know
that the corporations are spending
millions to maintain the supremacy
they enjoy and to increase their power.
Daily the voters note the assaults
made on their beloved president, to
whom they look for relief, and they
konw the assailants They view with
anger and amazement the failure OF
the senate to carry out the will of the
people: and they are we'll aware that
not one inch of vantage will be gained
without the aid Of popular verdicts in
state contests.
In every state the corporations have
an agent who is known as their poll
| teal manager. In fact, his identity
and occupation are seldom concealed.
Everybody knows who holds this po-
sition in Iowa. Ask Joseph w. Blythe
of Burlington if he is the man, and he
| will not deny it. 1t is to the credit of
Mr.. Blythe that he is no hypocrite. He
is a strong. able. forceful man, whose
| ability is recognized by all. He seeks
/ openly to defeat measures of legisla-
ton which he believes will lessen the
power of the interests in his charge;
he does not scruple to use any means
which will accomplish his ends.
+. And Mr.. Blythe has never been
known to support a candidate for of

control in matters vital to the interests
he represents.
Mr.. Perkins has an honorable ambf-

ity to make a good governor But he
does not believe that any man can
be nominated for governor who has

1t is recalled by the American Recip-
rocal Tariff League thar more than
eight years ago this scheme for an al
lance against the United States was
proposed in an appeal to Europe by
eign affairs. The appeal was pub
lished in American newspapers at the
time, and was generally commented
upon. The general opinion in this
country was that it was merely hot
air. We thought Europe was buying
a billion dollars year of our pro-
ducts because she had to have them,
and could not get them anywhere else.
We We're so satisfied with ourselves a
few years ago, and believed SO fully
in the dependence Of the world upon
us, that an eminent American argued
that the United States could dictate
peace to the world by refusing to let
any nation have wheat unless it would
join with US. The crop of wheat in
this country in 1904 was so short that
to Europe, and to our great surprise
they did not have any famine, or send
us petitions begging us for bread. On
the contrary they got along very COM
fortably without our wheat, and the
price was actually lower in Europe,
for nearly a whole year, than in the
United States. Our great illusion,
that the world depended upon us for
bread, was thus dispelled. Germany
has only put into effect the suggestion
of the Austrian minister.
1t is pointed out that this move
ment may not end on the CONT
nent Chamberlain has been agitating
for several years in England the idea
of a tariff that would discriminate
against American grain and meats,
and he has just been triumphantly re-
elected from his district in Birming-
ham, on this platform, in the recent
British elections. He. does not hope for
| immediate action, but he has become
the leader of one of the two great
parties in England, and hopes to put
his policy in effect after the next cleo
ton.
This rising tide of discrimination
against American products could be
checked and held back if the United
States would make reasonable con-
cessions. Germany and all the con-
tinental countries that are now dis
eliminating against us would probably
give us their minimum rates, at once,
if we would adopt the Mckinley policy
of concessions and friendly negotia-
ton.

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

Chicago.-A large increase appears
in the number of visiting buyers and
this has added to activity in the mar
kets for staples, wholesalers reporting
strong demand in general dry goods,
. its and cloaks, mems furnishings
and footwear. Mail order demands
from the interior continue of satisfac-
tory extent and country merchants ex-
pect that spring trade will be as good
as last year. Farmers plan many inn
provements and OUTLAWS for these
promise to be LIBERAL Mercantile col
lections continue satisfactory.
Grand Rapids.--The furniture expo
sition has closed and while sales were
not as heavy as in January, 1905, a
large volume of business has been
transacted. The lumber market is
firm, with advancing prices. Unseas-
enable weather has had depressing
effect on the grocery trade; sales are
not as large as usual and collections
are somewhat slow Sales of light
rubber goods have been fair, but the
demand for heavy rubbers is not up to
former seasons.
st. Paul-January sales make a very
satisfactory showing, new high records
being established in some departments.
The wholesale drug trade is heavier
than ever before, markets are steady
and sales for the month were consid-
erably large than last year. Dry goods
sales exceed all previous records for
the same period. The hats, caps and
furnishing goods trade is active and
footwear manufacturers are fully en-
ployed Groceries and provisions are
in strong demand. Hardware trade is
we'll up to expectations and harness
manufacturers are busy. Spring trade
in millinery is satisfactory and jewel
! ry is fairly active. Collections are fair.
Minneapolis.-The' usual midwinter
conditions prevail in the jobbing trade
Orders received are running somewhat
in excess of previous years in prac-
tically all lines, particularly agricul-
| tural supplies, and collections are good.
Local retail trade is dull Unusually
mild weather has made little demand

ST. Louis.--Distributio of spring

goods, clothing and millinery leading.
Mail orders and orders from travelling
statesmen are fair and collections good.
Boston.-Activity in the mills and
factories Is as pronounced as formerly
and the volume of business in whole
sale circles is satisfactory in most
branches. Dry goods jobbers report an
active demand for prints. ginghams
and all wash fabrics, retailers buying

WHY klCK7

The Sioux City Journal makes
strong objection to the acceptance by
Governor Cummins of invitations to
address farmers institutes at Spirit
Lake and two or three other points IN
the Eleventh district 1t objects in the
tally, cites the fact that the governor
"has a legislature on his hands" and
NO time to address the farmers espec-
tally, as it is to be presumed, IN the
Eleventh district, and is altogether
disgruntled because certain associa-
tions of farmers in the Eleventh have
elsewhere have been doing, invited the
governor of the state to talk to them
on matters they consider important to
their interests
The Journals anxiety for the gov
ernor's presence in Des Moines during
the legislative session is overstrained.
If he were not incidentally dropping
into the Eleventh the Journal doubt
less could endure with equanimity
a much more protracted absence than
the ones contemplated by the gov
ernor. Indeed the Journal is anxious
to make the governors absence from
the executive chambers permanent Its
worriment, properly placed, is over the
effect of Cummins on the Eleventh dis
trict sentiment, such as 1T is, for the.
Journals candidacy for the governor
ship The Journal is practically the
candidate. Mr.. Perkins, divorced from
his great Journal could scarcely hold
90 large a following and the Journal
is alarmed because the governor is to
talk to the farmers upon their request.
It is afraid he will say something.
What is Cummins likely to say? II
he refers at all to political issues he
will urge rate legislation and favor a
state primary law. What is there in
this to excite the Journal? Indubit-
ably, if asked. he will make his position
clear as against the control of Iowa
politics by railroad attorneys, but
what is there in this that should alarm
the Journal? Had the governor been
last summer the Journal would not
have filed stch vigorous protest. Why
file it now? He will say nothing more
than he would have said last year or
last summer. Perhaps the Journal
fears those psychological moments"
that seem to accompany frank state
not counterfeit by equal frankness?
There is no copyright on this kind Of
psychology. Instead of hiding in the
tall grass and whining when a farm
ers' institute requests the governor of
the state to speak to it on public mat
tiers, why does not the Journals can
didate speak on public matters plainly
to formers Institutes himself? Why
try to make bluebeard chamber of
the Eleventh and deny its farmers the
right to ask and the governor of the
state the right to speak to them when
requested?
To kick against a fair discussion
of open questions anywhere by any
one to any others is confession of
weakness. To shun or evade fair
questions is suspiciously Indicative of
a desire to hide something. Would the
Journal object as strongly to Mr..
Blythe's appearance at convention of
railroad men to oppose rate regula-
ton as it has against Governor Cum
Minis proposed addresses to the farm
ers' Institutes?

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Mr.. Perkins claim to be "the candi-
date of no faction is disposed of thus
by the Spirit Lake Beacon. Men
who stand for the primary law; for
keeping the control of politics away
from the corporations; for just public
control of railways and other princi-
pies of progressive republicanism are
tainted with his sheer that they are
opposed to him because he is the can
didate of no faction And yet his only
possible chance for nomination is in
the hollow of the hand of the most
offensive fractional leader in the state.
Mr. Perkins would never dared to en-
ter the field against Burlington oppo-
sition, for he knew he was unaccept-
able to Cummins republicans unem-
barrassed by district ties-not because
he is personally unfit. not because he
is not factional, but because his sue
cess will be the success of standpat-
ism and the saddling with corporation
leadership the republican party of
Iowa That's ALL
IF Mr.. Perkins is playing to the
Blythe faction while they occupy the
gallery his candidacy should be loked
upon as a huge joke, and production
of railway legislation insists the
