A I I a i: «•*•!$ •s mt 1,5- VOL. 23. P# 1 Highest of all jn Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2.—After congress fizzled out the democrats renewed their quarrel as to what kind of literature they should turn out into the campaign. I suggested to them that they should take the speeches of their great leaders—Gor man in the Senate and Wilson in the H^use—with the two letters of Cleve land. They did not look on it kind ly. They are in an awful mess. They are convicted of incompetency which ever way they turn. In O. M. Hall's little book he tells what congress has done. He men tions, among other things, war on the trusts. Wilson said the bill which ABSOWTEUTPORE A NEW Dry Goods Store In the Wilson Building. Worth of—^ New Dry Goods, DROP IN AND SEE OUR GOODS.

The Democratic party made war on the trusts by turning over vast sums to them. Hall should make another effort. Bob Miller, who used to be about Democratic headquarters in Minne sota in campaigns of other days, is now with the Democratic cpngression al committee here and will remain until election.

Let us* ask the ques tions and give logical. answers to them as to why silver would be of any benefit. What would free coinage mean? More money. How is the poor man to get it* He would get better prices for his produce, for his labor. What would he do with the money? Buy necessaries for himself and family. Would he not have to pay higher prices for every thing he purchased? I generally find that this question ends the silver man, for the next time I hear of him he is off in the fields of abuse of capitalists and the money power. Silver should be used to just such an extent as will insure the parity of all money. When you go beyond that you are on the rocks. I have talked with quite a number of Minnesota men lately who are just from the state. They say there is no trouble about the election of a Repub lican legislature, but some of them say that Washburn will have to be on the watch, or his enemies will put up enough jobs to defeat him. It seems rather strange that a man like Washburn, who has made such an able and creditable senator shoulc be in any danger of defeat by sharp practice, especially when he is ho doubt a choice of a majority of the Republicans of the state. But then Cush Davis came" very "hear^Jie sacrificed by jobbery when everybody supposed he was safe. C. A. Towne will make a capita representative for the Sixth district It looks as if Minnesota was going to get to the front in the next Congress, It is hardly to be expected that after what the country has gone through while waiting for the Demo cratic party to take care of the trusts in the tariff bill that the people wil take kindly to the threat that tariff smashing is to begin anew. The way to put a stop to it is to send Repub licans to congress. Several Democratic Senators say that the reason Cleveland wants that tariff kept alive is because he is afraid that the money question will again come to the front'and that Congress will insist upon doing something for silver. The eastern friends of Cleve and do not want to see anything done in this direction. ARTHUR W. DUNN. The Hennepin county Populists want greenbacks "in sufficient quan tities to supply the commercial and industrial demands of the country." As there is a good deal more money in the country than is needed to sup ply such demand,, and it has been stacked up for some time waiting for a cessation of the threats of the Pop ulists and the menace of deranged tariff conditions to be withdrawn, the Pops ought to be satisfied with the present conditions. What they are after, however, is fiat money redeem able in nothing.—Minneapolis Jour nal. The populists are said te have nominated a book'agent in the 2nd district for congress. An exchange says they needed a man who is "able to talk incessantly and harp the same old tune without variation." They have the right man if that is the necessary qualification.—St. Peter Tribune. That book agent was here last week, and his chin flopped in the breeze, while his tongue "whizzed" like a cylinder in a threshing ma chine. What Long lacks in argu ment he makes up in wind.

WORTHINGTON, MINNESOTA, SEPT. 6, 1804. jfgns of a coming higher standard of litics, says the Luverne Herald, is the sentiment now very commonly entertained and expressed that a man's word in matters pertaining to politics should be as good as his Word in his every-day dealings with his neighbors. The man who delib erately tells a lie, or fails to keep his Word, or is found to be guilty of any species of deception in the ordinary course of business transactions, is l^eld in utter contempt by all honor able men.
