the Spanish peasants has been great

trade was done throughout Spain in
bleached linen and linen yarns. No
household, however humble, but
owned its set of linen sheets, which
formed part of the dowry of every
peasant girl on her wedding day. On
account of the greater cost of linen,

New Metal of Much Value.

Alien is the name given to a new
metal which is composed of two parts
of aluminium and one part of zinc,
writes Consul General Guenther from
Frankfort. 1t is sail to equal cast iron
in strength, but is much more elastic.
Alien is superior because it does not
rust as easily as does iron, and it
takes a high polish. Besides being
very strong, this new metal is capable
of filling out the most delicate lines
and figures of forms in casting.

the legislature in St. Paul in a body
and plainly state the range citizens
side of the question. Such a dele
cation would make a showing that
could not be ignored. They could
present the injustice of the whole
scheme. We are not asking the
farmers of southern Minnesota to
put tonnage tax on their wheat,
their corn, their butter. hogs and
cattle to help build up this part of
the state or to relieve us from our
share of taxation. We could do this
with as much justice as they prac-
tice when they attempt to pass the
tonnage bill.
There is but one crop of iron ore.
When once harvested it is gone and
gone forever. There are thousands
upon thousands of crops of wheat,
corn, cattle and hogs. Why should
they pass an iniquitous law forcing
us to depart from the regular meth
DDS of taxation practiced through
out the country, and divide with
them, when they will be unwilling
later to divide with us when our
crop is gone. No other state where
iron is mined has such tax nor do
their people advocate such a tax.
The citizens of the range are do
ing the rest of the state great and
lasting service in educating the
children of the many newcomers
and training them to become good
Americans. We should receive
some encouragement in this good
work.
. Such delegation could point out
the vast importance to the rest of
the state of the markets of Duluth
and the range towns. If we count
the people employed on the ore.car-
rying railroads, on the ore and lum-
Der docks and vessels, and all those
on the farms of central and south
ern Minnesota who are working to
supply these markets with food for
man and beast, we shall not be far
out of the way by stating that fully
a quarter OF million of people de-
rive their support in whole or in
part from the mines and mills of
st. Louis county, all of which pros
perity would be interrupted or de-
stroyed by the passage of this in
iquitous tonnage tax bill, 80.
