This is not a dream of the Rare
bit fiend, but glorious Fact.
We are really in earnest when we
say that we are going to reduce our
stock of Farm Implements. That's
why we are offering them at prices
unheard of before. Competitors
don't seem to realize our in
tentions, and have been trying to
beat our prices, but we know they
cannot continue. We are here,
and we have an enormous stock to
dispose of, and we are going to
force prices down, when as a
matter of fact, manufacturers and
jobbers are advancing prices.
For instance; Following a 596 adj
vance last fall, there was, last week
another 5G6 advance put on farm
wagons, making the same wagon
cost the dealer approximately $6 90
more than last year. Do you know
that we started out this spring with
65 wagons on hand from last sea-
son; These coast us$6.O 90 less than
they would right now, besides we
are cutting the old price all to
smithereens. The same applies to
gang plows. We were caugh
with an enormous stock on hand
which came in to late for last falls
trade, in fact everything in the
line Of farm implements is going
to be sold at prices that will ap-
peal to you. We want to make
cleanup, and have decided that
this is the year todoit. We would
not be surprised to see wagons sell
for from 800 to 500 next year,
and everything in farm 'imple-
ments will go skywards in like pro-
portion. Remember that all deal
ers have been up against gradual
advances for a year or two, but
have stood for it, but these adj
vances now amount to so much
that he must advance his price or
90 out of business. We are not
going out Of business. Weare not
advertising a CLOSING out sale'' or
a "Fire Sale. It is business
proposition to reduce a stock which
is to large. What is our loss is
your gain.

wonderful possibilities of this valley

pioneers who braved the dangers and
hardships of the frontier have one by
one been realized until now this great
territory, in the full of its maturity,
is feeding millions of people il! this

of its great virgin forests, its soil,
from Canada to the Gulf and for hum
dreds of miles east and west, has
lent itself to careful cultivation by
its teeming thousands, until the Mis-
sissippi Valleys marvellous produc-
ton of everything that grows is
continual source of wonder to the
world.
Foremost in this great belt of mar
velous fertility are the States OF Min
nesota and Iowa, which together
form a veritable land of milk and
honey, settled with happy, busy,
well-to-do people, tillers OF the soil,
artisans, manufacturers and capital
lists, who are ever increasingly taking
advantage of the possibilities OF their
environment.
Realizing this fact and knowing
that this country and these people
| are most in need of and most alive
| to the advantages of the modern con-
| veniences of transportation, the pro-
| moters of what is now known as the
| Dan Patch Air Line, chose Mime
| sofa and Iowa as one OF the best
! fields for their operation.
After careful study they selected
central and southern Minnesota and
northern Iowa as the territory OF
greatest promise and in greatest need
| of real transportation facilities. With
this determined, the great Twin Cities
at the north, and Dubuque, the Iowa
metropolis, at the south, became the
illogical choice for terminals, and
thence emanated the Minneapolis,
Rochester and Dubuque Traction
Company, the directors of which are
now building the longest electric
interurban ever projected and what
will undoubtedly be one of the best
paying roads ever built.

tiveness and the great railway posi-

BY MEAD PUBL SHING co
OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
Under Which Flag.

The grand dukes of the republican
party will have to make up their minds
soon to answer the question which they
prefer, support of mill bosses or votes
of the people.
They can not have both, as events
appear to be shaping themselves now.
If the party favors the popular demand
for tariff revision, it will have to give
up hope of big campaign contribution
from the tariff protected trusts. If the
party insists upon leaving the tariff
alone, it will have to give up hope OF
getting votes, for the people next year
year will devote themselves to the par
ty which offers them relief from the
burdens they have carried so long and
are SO weary of.
The grand dukes do not seem to real
ize the seriousness of the situation
The cry for tariff revision comes from
every part of the country. There is no
division of sentiment, except in SO tar
as benefciaries of the tariff are opposed
to changing it. In some places. where
the trusts are strong, standpatters are
numerous, but such places are few. An
overwhelming majority Of voters ev-
erywhere are determined that robber
trusts shall no longer be permitted to
mulct them as the tariff has enabled
them to do.
Which alternative will the republican
party choose? Under which flag will II
march into battle? Will it prefer the
the contributions of tariff beneficiaries
and try to get along without the peo'
pie, trusting to money to carry the
election? Or will it yield to public
sentiment and take firm stand in ia
vor of revising the tariff so that mil
bosses shall no longer be able to charge
Americans more for their goods thar
they ask of foreigners?
This is an important question for the
grand dukes to decide. 1t is hard FOL
them to cast aside the support OF trusts
with the enormous sums of money the.
know that they can count on. But !
would be harder to lose votes and b
dispossessed from power, as the part,
surely will if it defies the people.
For the people are in earnest in TIL
matter. All over the country they ar
demanding relief from trust exactions
and if the republican party refuses t
give it to them they will turn to SOM
other party.-Chicago Daily Journal.
