"The Eepublicans are Sweep 1112 Everything Before Them. he S As the campaign progresses the signs be •come more and more propitious. The Alli ance-Labor movement grows weaker as the p«'oplo the State learn more definitely of its processes and purposes. It is bernsgradu ally discovered that the two elements com prising the newest political movement are like oil and. water, and cannot be made to mix. What suits the so-called farmers is naturally and inevitably disliked by the so called working men. The former have a «hronic disposition to "shake the railroads over hell," nut the labor element—that sec tion of it which works with its hands—has discovered that a large proportion of the work which gives to it its daily bread pro ceeds directly or collaterally from the railroads. Hence anagonisms are be ing developed, and the new party is fail ing to pieces ot its own weight. Mean time the paid advocates of the English free trade movement, and the tin-horn statesman tooting for momentary noto riety, continue to traverse the cow-pal bs of the back country districts and preach about the overwhelming disasters to the agricultural interests—disasters that' never materialize. From the Fifth district—the section where the farm -ers movement early in the campaign promised the largest results—there is one •continual stream of reports that the fourth party ball is rapidly losing its momentum. Men who were formerly active in the Alliance movement are returning to their allegiance to the old parties. The leaders have given up the fight before the real battle was fairly be gun. Mr. LIND in the Second district, reports gun.

Without excep tion their reports are to the effect that the solid Republican phalanx from the North Star State in Congress will remajn unbroken. It is even as eerted that Charlie Oilman in the Filth has no possible chance for election, and that the farmers of the Second are not showing a vast amount -of agricultural enthusiasm for General Baker. Everywhere, from the horizon to the zenith,* the skies are bright, and it only remains for the leading Republicans in every county to do their duty by getting out the full vote to insure a more complete triumph than the old party lias known in an off year during the past generation. Only three weeks remain in which to perfect the party organization. These twenty-onedays should be if period of .sleepless activity on the part of every man— .young and old—who believes in the triumph •of Republican principle. Especially are the principles of protection and reci procity on trial in Minnesota this year. Re publicans all over tin North have their eyes fixed upon this State. They must not be disappointed. The verdict of this great Jigrieultural commonwealth mnst be spoken in no half-hearted way. The season of as sured material prosperity now dawning !or the whole country must not be post poned by any reactionary movement in the great and. growing Northwest.

A great victory is within our grasp. Lp us reach out and take it wiih'coirage.— Norfch iield News. A in O 1 -&* The latest information from the numer ous corps of correspondents enables the l'ioneer 1'iess to take this ,view of tho situation: There is reason for satisfaction with the Republican outlook in Minnesota. Some disaffection was expected, and some disaf fection there has been. But it reached its iteight, we believe, a week or more ago, and is now decreasing and will continue to de :r3nse until the day of election. The Re publican campaign has.onlyjust begun. It will be a manly, straightforward arid not a defensive campaign. The state administra tion needs no apology. It is its own best ad vocate. The affairs o! Minnesota have prof ited by having in the governor's chair a man of high business and executive ability, and at the heads ot departments men of pro bity and in harmony with the people. What could any Administration do which this hun not done? What better fortune could Min nesota ask than a continuance of the regimn that has advanced her interests aud helpoti to make her people at* least more prosper ous than amy others similacly situated? It is questions such as these that voters begin to ponder as soon as the first hurrah oi a campaign is over and issues such as these that weigh with them as the time for casting their ballots draws near. Nothing has so helped, the Republican 'ause as the now open and avowed fusion between the Democracy and the Farm era' Alliance. As long as these two bodies bore the semblance of independent organisa tion's even confident Republicans con essed that the situation had its serious features. There is ao lact of politics better established than the power of a party name. The Dem ocratic party, tn the Democratic party, •could hold the vote of almost every man who had ever belonged to it. Its ranks -would be'steady. The Farmers' Alliance, by virtue of the name, would capture a eon •siderable vote in the agricultural communi ties and, in the nature of things, this vote would be drawn more liberally from Republi can than '.rom Democratic sources. If the defection became considerable, there might .,le danger. Rut this prospect was so allur ing to the Democracy itself, and "the ad vantages of a secret collusion between it and *the Alliance were so -evident, that it could not keep itself within bounds. It proceeded -to the further step of a regular offensive and ./idefensive union with the Alliance und there ip^'hy forfeited the very advantage it had hoped to gain. It is a loser from that time forth -Sj.'' The Republican farmers who were getting .\'„r ready to vote the Alliance ticket are not Democrats by any means. They wepe being beguiled iifto support of the Alliance only be '. cause it represented to them Ja new and sepa rate movement and, as between 'two old j, parties, they are Republicans every •^time Now that they 'see the Alliance \*V movement to be bat a cover for the Demo a* emtio attack, they have changed their base. ''&u An Alliance ticket means" a Democratic ticket, and that they will never vote. In this way, the announcement of the fusion is turning., back to the Republican lines every day a number of voters who would otherwise-have left them. It is working equally unfavorably to the "Democrats in the opposite direction. The Democratic farmer reasons in the same way. He had Vintended,' lifter the manner ot his kind, to vote the regular party tiek.t .though the' .*£*,•" ?v5 Alliance movement made a strong appeal to him, as a farmer, and caused him to al most waver in his party allegiance. Now he is taught that it is all the same thing that the Democratic candidate and the Alli ance candidate represent one objeet and purpose, and he yields to his inclinations and goes with the Alliance. This isnot a fan cy picture, drawn trombopeor desire instead of irom real Hie. It is what is actually hap pening in the state at large. Events like the withdrawl of Wilkinson in the Second dis trict, on a bargain for a similar course by the Alliance candidate in the First, show the public thab tho Democratic-Alliance party is what they have to fight. And this has retained many a Republican vote that would otherwise have gone to the Alliance poll. juRt as it is demoralizing the Demo cratic line. Thaf party will now learn, what political experience in other states ought to hnvp taught it. that the habit of straight party voting and the reliance upon party right or wrong makes a successful fusion of two organizations during a cam paign a far more difficult and hopeless bus iness than swapping horses while crossing a stream. The reception accorded to Repub lican speakers every where shows that party interest and enthusiasm are awake and grow ing. We do not believe that the lourth of November has any surprises in store for the people of Minnesota. he ok It is not the Roman Catholic who is the great enemy of the American public school system and popular education. Neither of those classes who favor or oppose the read ing of the Bible in the public schools are the dangerous enemies to universal education. The danger most to"be feared today and the one to be taught against and conquered is the school book trust. Every book used in the schools of Minneso ta to-day. costs from fifty to seventy five per cent, more than it should and the surplus goes into the pockets of the mean est and most heartless gang of piratical socculators ever known. The man '. who would rob the State school fund would be ««nt to the penitentiary followed I by the hearty execrations of every citizen I in the State, good or bad. And yet, the people* of Minnesota Bubmit with out protest to a species of rob- I bery just as contemptible, just as open, just as inexcusable as though the State Auditor should take a half million from the school fund and decamp to Canada. Do the people of this state know that one school book publishing house has sent into retire ment three millionaires during the past twenty years, and that the same house is still piling up wealth at the rate of more than a million a year? It is generally known to the people that the PECKSNIFFS who publish the books used by the school children of Minnesota have be come one of the most demoralizing elements in every community in the land—that they hribe legislators with one hand while they pick the pockets of the poor with the other? There is only one way to kill this soulless and conscienceless trust. The State must buy the text books used in all the public schools and in the State Univer sity. Then, if the State cannot get those books at a fair price it can establish a State printing office and print them. The school book trust must follow the binding twine trust into the darkness of oblivion.—North field News. N a a For the first time since the present cam paign commenced the Republican state cen tral committee has made an estimate of tha strength of the Republican state ticket, and yesterday Chairman Heatwole gave it out that the present governor of the state will be re-elected by a majority of 15,500 or more votes. "You may give this out straight from me." said he, "and the only reason I do not make a close estimate is because I do not know to day how many votes Gov. Merriam will gain between now and Nov. 4. But I put down 15,000 ns the minimum." This estimate is based upon the reports made by the chair men of the county committees and others who attended the big committee meeting on Tuesday. These reports show also that there is every probability of the re-election of the five Minnesota fongressmen, and that, despite the special efforts which are being made by the Alliance and the Demo crats, the Republicans will in all probability have a majority of the members of the next legislature. The returns irom the country seem to indicate that the seheme of the Dem ocrats, while ostensibly working for the whole state, congressional and legislative tickets alike, is really to sacrifice the state and congressional tickets in the interest of the legislative candidates, with a view to the election of a combination Democratic-Alli ance United States senator to succeed Hon. C. K. Davis. There is good evidence also that the Democratic and Alliance managers, who have so far been working in conjunction with each other, are getting jealous oi each other, and that there in likely to be an open rupture before election da.v. W so as a Barrator Maj. Edwards, of the Fargo Argus, *ays he knows a thing or two about Minnesota politics. In a late.issue he refers to the re port of Judge Wilson'H speech at Fergus Falls in which the icicle candidate said, among other things, in defense of his con duct as a railroad attorney: Ths only case I argued at Washington while I was a member o'" congress -7as one against the Northern Pacific Railroad com pany, brought by one of its employes who had been seriously injured, I hod tried the case in the courts below, and while I was in congress in the United States supreme court, to which it had been appealed by the rail road company. I argued it against the company a&d had the judgment fci favor oi my client affirmed, on which I collected from the company a little over $28,000. The Argus tells a thing or two about this cuss in these words, written in the major's peculiar style: This particular case is familiar to the Da kota lawyers. It is true the "employe was dangerously injured," aud that the judge's, statement—on the face—looks well. But when it comes to be known that the case was? "taken on shares"—and the poor "employe's" share amounted to very little— the glossy fabric woven together'"by* the im maculate spellbinder, who admits himself to be without blemish, sinks beneath tho stat utory provision that barratry is one of those things that is described as stirring up litiga tion, and may be construed as a. charge against a lawyer who will go in to rob a railroad, provided he gets the most of the divy. Tom Wilson a Deco uDck Midway News: No, Tom Wilson is not a "salaried" railroad attorney. He is a /riend of the dear people, who,'when clients eome to him with prosecutions against the Chicago St Northwestern railroad, does all he can to discourage action, but if suite are instituted ngainst that company in' this state, defends' it every time. No he js not "salaried he is only a decoy duck, retained on the quiet, not only in and oat of court, bat in and out of the legislature, congress the church, every where.' .•$.* ~-rv Lind he or a Slayton Gazette: Congressman Lind is just how the recipient much praise on ac count of his able efforts in ehampionintr the interests of the farmers in the Northwest in congress. He was raised on farm until an accident* disqualified him for such labor. In his law practice as well ats in congress he haschampionedthe cause of the poor against the aergressions of corporations. He is a man wholly in sympathy with the masses. s&c 1 5 0 0 0 a it or a Martin County Sentinel: The Republican state central committe is making a vigorous campaign. Gov.

Figures Showing* our Advance in a Quarter of a Century. /)ur WcailtXi TVearly a ISan N I Created— Mig's S a a of \yajres JGain talnert—increase in be S a in The wealth of- the United States, in 18(50 was sixteen t'rwswtn'd- million f!n» lars, one-half of wincu v/as uestroytd during the civil war. In June, 1887, our wealth touched the imperial figures of sixty thousand millions, earning seven millions each day.«» In 1860 the wealth of the United States was $415 per capita/, in 1S87, $1 000 per capita. In the=o years of Protection the United States has earned over one-half of the sum added to the world's wealth during that time. "We nearlv equal Great Britain in pro duction of iroD, and excel her in the production of steel. In 1860 manufact ures in the United States amounted to $1,800,000,000 in 1887, to $7,000,000, 000. Our total industries now amount to $11,000,000,000. The Western States manufactured nearly as much in 1887 as "the whole country in 1860. The Southern States ulone now make 10 per cent, more pig iron than was made in the United States in 1860. The annual product of the United States exceeds that of England by more than one-half, and our trade is double that of England. England has increased her commerce less than six times since 1860 tne United States has increased her commerce more than six nines. While England has increased her export trade four times the exports iag annually of the United States have increased pig iron, 1,000,000 tons of American iron eight times. In these years, from the Ihird producing power, we have risen to (he first. Up to 1860 the entire exports »f the United States were $9,000,000, 000 since then they have amounted to $14,000,000,000. Protection has practically created many great industries since 1860—crockery, silk, steel rails, & employing countless laborers and distributing thousands of millions of money among our people. From no steel rails produced in 1867 we have risen to 2,101,904 tons produced in 1887, cheapening the cost of rails, en abling us to increase our railroads from 30,000 miles to 161,000, and reducing cost of transportation to less than half what it is in England. We have now more miles of railroad than all Europe, with rolling stock worth nine, times the merchant marine of England, and our inland trade is twenty times greater than her foreign commerce. Protection, by creating home markets, has increased the value of our farms from $6,645,046,007 in 1860 to $10,192,006, 776 in 1880. It has in the same time in creased our farm products from $1,675, 724,972 to $3,726,321,422. Of this vast increase less than one tenth has been ex ported more tiian nine teu ins has been consumed at home. The want of an adequate Borne market for our wheat has put our wheat growers at the mercy of half civilized India. The only remedy is to diminish production or increase the home market. Protection has maintained the high standard of wages in the United States, which is double that of England. If the American laborer 3rjuld live as English laborers do he could sive 37 per cent, of his wages. They save only 2 per cent, of their wages. American people should not, and will not, submit to the low standard of wages prevailing in other countries*^ They decrease the purchasing power anWChe consuming power of the people. Free-Trade in England meant cheap bread and has ruined her farmers. Free-Trade in this country means cheap hibor, diminished power to consume, low prices for farm products, and in the end ruin for our farmers. Protection has increased the savings of our people. There is deposited in the savings banks of the State of New York alone $506,000,000, which is $100,000,000 more than the entire accumulations in the savings banks of England in four centuries. Protection has diversified as well as created industries. It has opened new and fruitful fields for the employment ',"' women. It has enriched and educated our people and qualified them for the duties of freemen. High wages have made happy homes and good citizens. There never was on this earth a people so free, RO prosperous and with such splendid possibilities as the 60,000,000 that dwell in this republic. Shall the Protective policy which has accomplished this be overthrown? on Not E a Prices Protection enables producers to sell at lower prices with greater pr6fit. This comes under the well known law that cost depends largely upon the quantity of an article produced. It" a man builds a single family carriage, turns out every part himself—the woodwork, the iron work, the leather, going back to the pri mary sources of thtse component parts »f a carriage, the mine, the forest aud the animal, whose skin furnished the leather—it would probably take the man a year to complete the work, and a very costly work it would -be. But if there is such a large demand for carriages that thousands of men are engagedin pro ducing them, each one at work on a special part of the product in which he has acquired great skill, and the best and most costly mechanical appliances arc used, it is evident that the '-arriages thus produced can bo. sold at priees far below the cost of a siugiu vehicle, «nd yet all concerned make a profit whereas the single carriage would only be sold at a •great loss. Protection, by restricting competition to our own people and keeping the home market for the home producer, increases the home demnnd and the quantity of everything required to supply it. -fvii The same is true of all things^which may be produced in large quantities and ,for which there is a large demand and for this reason is it specially important to promote home manufactures of articles in general use, and especially of t?he necessaries of life. The great quantity of such articles wanted enables the, pro ducer to make them cheap, and in this 1 The Tin Plate Industry-' Wliy Not Establish tlie rarannfaciur* of it in America •'.It is supposed by many that tin plate made of tin which is mined in tom other part of the world aud made ictc tin plate or sheets and sold in this coun try, whereas, in point of fact, tin plate is nothing more or less than iron covered with composition ot* tin. It is admitted that the iron is mnnn fnctnred in this country and oujrhc to be, and no doubt many are aware that until the tin plate' industry was slaughtered by the rulings of a former Secretary oi the Treasury^ the manufacture of thi plate w&s carried on extensively in tliu country. The Secretary of the Treasury alluded to was apparently unaware that tin plat? was not made of tin, and DO Secretary ol the Treasury has seen fit since to offer tc point out his error in regard to it. "Within the past three years there has been discovered in the Black Hills ol, Dakota, mines of tin of sufficient abun dance to warrant the conclusion thai this country is able to supply all the tin required for its consumption as advan-' tageously as can be supplied in any pari of the world. In the first place, the Tariff act of 1864 fixed the duty on tin plate at two and a half cents' per pound, the same a? gal vanized sheets, but this rate was changed by a Treasury decision which has rightlj been termed one of the most inexcusabl* and costly ever made. If this rate oi I duty had been allowed to remain, w« should have had to day a prosperous tin plate industry, eni\Vying directly and indirectly 100,000 re and coiisum-' 40,000 tons of American ore, 400,000 tons of American limestone and 1,000,000 tons of American coal. Such is the amount of raw material con sumed in producing the tin plate con sumed in this country. To furnish this supply 100 mills and tinning works, each with over 3000 tons annual capacity, would be needed, as the product aggregates 318,000 tons, or 686. 000,000 pounds. The cost of producing this tin plate to the country would merely be the cost, of the material consumed in producing it, as we have capital and labor and land on which to build the mills in I abundance. Instead of this we havej wickedly and wantonly sent this money abroad to enrich a greedy syndicate of English manufacturers. Since 1864 we have sent abroad $208,310,655.07 in gold to purchase tin plate, aud, in addition to this, a Revenue Tariff has been paid of $78,636,892.80. Here we have, without thedutics, $300,000,000 sent out of the country, every dollar of which might! have gone to add to the resources of this' country and improve the condition of American labor. The 100,000 men em ployed directly and indirectly in making this tin plate in England kept that num ber in idleness in this country. There is no possible reason why there should not be a flourishing tin plate in dustry in this country. What workman is there who would not echo the unselfish assertion: I would rather pay one cent, if necessary, more for a dinner pail and establish an industry worth millions ol dollars annually to this nation than con tinue to support 100,000 Englishmen ir making tin plate wBen that number o! Americans want employment W a of S me W The benefits of Protection and conse quent high wases can have no bettei illustration than the pay roll of the work ers of Allegheny County, Pa. In th iron and steel wcrks alone it is enormous. In this industry 37,350 men are em ployed, anr. ey receive every two week: $939,500 in wages, or in a single yt^ $23,487,500. But iron and steel is not the only in dustry in Allegheny County. There an other works which may be classed witl' the above, and then there are the loco motive and glass works. In these indus tries are employed 17,500 men, gettins semi-monthly wages of §390,000. Thu makes a total of $1,329,000 paid tc 4 8 5 0 men every two weeks, or a grand total every year of $33,225,000. This, t, must be remembered, is the number o1 men employed and wages paid in a single county. Leave these industries unprotected and what would be the re sult We do not care to contemplate it. Thanks to the vote of an enlightened people, there is no danger of having to consider it for a long time to come, il! ever. These are not infant industries, but they no less need the Protection they now enjoy. And there are many more industries that could make a proportion ate showing if protected in the same way 70,000 men could be employed in the tin plate industry alone and its'tribu tuary industries were it adequately, pro tected, receiving upward of $40,000,000 annually in wages, and keeping iu this country many millions which now to England for tin plate and freight. A word more. In spite of the enor mous wages paid in the industries men-, tioDod the price of the commodity is not' increased one particle. If tin plate were manulactured in this country the price to the consumer would not be enhanced in the least on the contrary,, severe competition would tend to lower prices. Such figures as the above easily dissipate the worn out and delusive argument ol the Free-Traders that the Tariff is a tax. Patriotic Sentiments. :yft-g The higher and stronger we build the bulwarks of Protection to American in dustries the more efficient and potential we make the American man and the more firmly you establish American liberty and equality for by Protection only can we secure stability of 'prices and fairly re munerative wages to labor when subject only to the fluctuations incident to Amer ican competition uninterested by cheap labor, the products of cheap labor, cneap money, and the surplus dump of despoik and barbarous nations. Therefore, my cry is still for the American idea of Pro tection for American labor and against class legislation in the interest of cotton whiskey and Great Britain.—Congressmar Brumm.
