?J 11—1.1. r- $&}'!"- :F, W. JOHtfSONEdifcor aad Publisher. vVednesday, April 6, 1892. DEFINING THEIR fQSfflQN. The Minnes6lateiiidei!aGy gate their creed nnd program to the woi'ld yester day and foreshadowed the attitude •which the Democratic national conven tion may take at Chicago, f-, With respect to the tariff, the Minne-' gota Democrats must be credited with an exhibition of candor certainly not habitual with their party, It has gen erally been the custom for Democrats throughout the country to testify their disapprobation of the Republican policy by juggle word3 which mean noth ing or by a call for a tariff-for-revenue only. Yesterday the Minnesota Deni crats came squarely out with this de claration: "We are opposed to the theory of pro tection, as a manifestation of the prin ciple of paternalism in politics, with which our party is continually at war." There can be nothing more explicit than that, and it that is to be the atti tude of the party in this critical year, the Republicans can hardly desire any change in it. The Democrats, after de claring hostility to tiie principle of pro tection, proceed to asseverate their ad herence to "laws by which the revenues of the nation shall be accomodated to the needs of the government, economic ally administered within its legitimate sphere, which shall make commerce and industry free and shall guard their freedom when attained." And that is a roundabout way of saying that they •want free trade or'a system as near free xrade as^they can get, like that of England for instance, which levies dut ies on 20 articles like liquors, tea and coffee, some chemicals and tobacco. It is gratifying to see the Democrats come out so squarely against protection both as a theory and a practice,for they csin never win on such a platform.. The Republican party holds solidly to the essential policy of protection, They do not all agree as to the extent to which it is necessary to carry the principle, but the majority of the party, it may safely be said, are firm in the belief that the traditional policy of moderate protec tion first proposed by Hamilton for the development and establishment of our own manufaetui'es, is necessary for the industrial welfare of the country, and they have a long series of magnificent results to which they may point as con firmatory of their position. Opposition to protection will defeat the Democratic or any other party •which wages a campaign on that basis. And with respect to their fiscal policy the Minnesota Democrats have placed themselves in hostility to the principles of sound finance. They advocate the use of both gold and silver. That is all right but they go on to say that the sole function of the government is to open the mints to free coinage of dol lars (silver they prefer) and "if there has been a sufficient fluctuation in the value of either to make the existing ratios unequal, then to readjust the ratios so that the number of grains of either mecal in unit of coinage, the dol lar, shall be equivalent in value." That is to say, they would have free coinage of dollars which would have to be re minted continually to follow the fluctu ation of the silver market, which is a financial absurdity. They propose free coinage without reference to the outside world's ratio. Change of ratio as they proposo would not help silver under fiee coinage unless all nations agree to a common ratio and then the change of standard would demonetize immense quantities of silver, The Minnesota Democrats have made a bad mess of it. They are not for sound and honest dol lars. The Republican party is. On the issues the Democrats have made the state campaign will be fought And the Republicans hold the vantage ground as against Democrats and third party people.—Minneapolis Journal. Your Uncle Holm an attempted to tack on an amendment to the army bill the other day which wasjnot germane to the bill, or, in other words, was one of those pernicious tricks known as a rider to an appropriation bill. The rules of the House only allow such an amendment when it provides for a re duction of expenses. Mr. Crain- of Texas made the point of order that Holman's amendment did not reduce expenses, but simply provided for de ferring the payment of a debt that was obligatory upon the government. There has been hardly anything said on the floor of the House that has caused the Indiana note shaver to squuni as did this point from his fellow Democrat. The reason is^that it applied not only to tfi© ^amendment under consideration but to the whole policy of alleged re trenchment and reform of which Hol xnan is the leader. There is hardly a single item of the retrenchment effected thus far by the five-cent Congress but i«hat will simply be crowded over on to future Congresses as deficiencies, "1 Wl iji_ I he Board of County Commissioners of Brown County, met pursuant to ad journment, Friday, April 1st, 1892, at 1 o'clock p.
