OtTOMtYER'S THE REASONING O OWEN. It is Directed Mainly at the Burdens Aris ing from Demonetized Silver. The Conditions of the People faithfully Pictured. Eloquent Eeply to the Charge that^he was an Anarchist. Hon. S Owen, Populist candidate foi gcveruoi, appeared at liunei Hall Saturday evening and addiessul an au dience of neaily thiec-huudicd voters. Most of those piesent weie citizens of New Ulm, but a goodly numbei were farmers trom this and Nicollet counties. Mr. Owen's speech was fair and cour teous— such a one in fact as must make filends foi the man. His style was not of the Ianting kind which the majority of people expect from Popuhstic oratois, but on the contiary conservative and reasonable. He appealed to the better sympathies of his audience and did not -eek to stu them up to acts of rashness. Theie was also a noticeable lack of de ceiving hgures of great magnitude, the use of which is so common among speak ers who have no Other desire than to mislead the public He started out by saying that theie ts something wrong in this country.

Nevertheless it was never deep ei in the slough of despond than it is to day. It was a situation that should en list the best minds of the nation in dis covering remedies. The old parties he said held that a lit tle more or a little less of tariff doses would bring about the desired change, but this idea he ridiculed. Others ar gued that in diversified farming was a panacea for all the nations ills, but he showed that diversified farming was uni versal over all the world and that in New York State where diversified farm ing had been practised to the highest de gree for many years the people were worse off than weie the farmers of the west. The demonetization cf silver, he ar gued, was the unhappy cause of all oui woe and he endeavored to prove by ll lustiation that in making gold the sole basis of valuations, the purchasing pow er of the products of the soil had been leduced from year t© year while the pui chasmg power of the dollar foi the pay ment of debts, taxes, inteiest and the like had not increased The debt of the people was accordingly increasing with wonderful rapidity while thei'* power to ledeem was being steadily custailed. He refuted the idea that overproduction was the cause of low prices for products, by showing that as long as the country was filled with starving operatives there could be no overpioduction. He cited an instance to bear out this assertion. Last summer he had stood before a large gathering of/ faimers in Southern Minne sota. They weie gathered together to learn why it was that they could not sell their pioducts at a price sufficient to re munerate them for their toil. \A day or so later he stood before another throng of 5000 workmen in Minneapolis who were starving for want of money with which, to buy the products which their neigh- yj IT **r P1!1P3FlJ»^pT CHILDRENS UNDERWEAR Startling prices in these goods.

Between the two places there were thf cheapest tiansportation facilities the world has ever known. The restoration of silvei as a basie metal and as a help-meet to gold in car rying the burden of the country would change these conditions. It w»uld in crease the purchasing power of the dol lar. He did not like the idea of this nation being subject to England in financial matters. America was strong enough in resources, he said, to be a dictator fi nancially at the head of the procession of nations. The speaker also touched some upon the question of national banks and then alluded to the charge that the Populists were advocates of lawlessness. Here he grew eloquent and said. ''It is not so much the anarchy of poverty that we have tc fear as the anarchy of wealth, not the lawlessness of poverty, but the law lessness of wealth. The greatest strike of all time was when the money lords struck silver from its pedestal as a help meet to gold. Then you, and I and all of us fell down, while conscienceless greed flourished over us." Pullmann and men of his stripe weie the real anarchists of the country because they proposed to make law secondary to the individual and individual interests. He touched lightly upon state issues and state candi dates and then concluded. Not finding anything else to lay at the dooi of Jno. A. Johnson in his candida cy for the senate, his subtle enemies have started the story that he is a sympathizer with the A. P. A. The wickedness of this accusation lies in its utter falsity. Mr. Johnson never has, does not to-day and never will be a symhathizer with A. P. A. movements. It is not his nature, and he has fought that organization in hi3 newspaper as few other editors have dared to for the simple reason that he believes it to be narrow, selfish and Un American. We differ from Mr. Johnson in politics, but we do not believe in un justified abuse. Thafsr what these char ges are and their sole object is to preju dice the minds of honest voters against their best interests. If Mr. Johnson's enemies have no other method of defeat ing him than by charging him with le ing what he never was and never can be, they had better retire from the field of public life. They are the men whom the people are after, even as they are after the traitors to party pledges and person al honor. *«pj & "5*6$i|Sj» ¥WsW*$£§.

We want the voters of Brown and Red. wood counties to consider the following clippings. They are all taken from pa pers of good standing, and from journals that have no further interest in our sen atorial dispute than a desire to have righ teousness and honor in politics prevail. They speak plainly. The state central committee upholds W. W. Smith, and now it the republi cans of Brown county swallow this, they have strong stomachs. That Smith, Hays, Peterson combination ought to be frost-bitten by the people in Novem ber.—Springfield Advance. It is to be hoped that Sam Peterson will be turned down this year even if a democrat has to be elected to do it. Sam has been a legislator from that district till he seems to have thought that he owned the office.—Marshall Reporter. "Pants" Peterson may succeed in elect, ing a Democrat to the StateSenator from the Ninth district, but probably has no hope of going to tae legislature himself. That is the way some men are built.— Minneapolis Journal. Sam Peterson, senator from Brown eonnty, had a taste of legislative experi ence during the session of 1893 it suit ed him, but he failed to ^arry out his promises and his constituents were de ceived all around. He didn't do what he was placed in position to do, and the party was forced to look for some man who would perform what he was em ployed to do. Now Sam nominates him self he is a candidate without a party, except Sam himself. Political renegades are getting to be quite common.—St. Pe ter Tribune^ T. L. Gilbert, the Populist "candidate for senator in this district claims to have taken a hand in our Republican county convention. He says that he helped in getting some of die delegates to Vote for Sam Peterson. His idea was to get enough votes to have Peterson nomina- LADIES UNDERWEAR Ladies cotton Ribbed vests and pants at 25 cts. each. Ladies' heavy cotton vests and pants at 50 and 70 cts. each.

The Republican State committee gave Senator Peterson another knock-out last Friday, when it officially declared that E. D, French was, and S. D. Peterson was not, the nominee of the Republican Senatorial convention. This however does not mean that Senator Peterson can not run for the office. It means, howev er, that he must run as an independent, if at all, and he says that he proposes to make the run. In his latter statement rankles the animus of the traitor. Beat en at the primaries, beaten at the county convention, where his name was received with groans, put to rout at a Senatorial convention in which he dared not bring his forces and finally declared a bolter by the Republican State committee, his one object uow is to beat the regular nominee, even if a Democrat is to be elected. Senators Peterson and C. R. Davis of Nicollet, are two men who have been rejected by their party this year. Peterson betrayed his party in the mem orable contest in which Wmdom was beaten, and again, after the most sacred pledge that has ever fallen from his pol luted lips, in the election of O. K. Davis. In the latter he was assisted by C. R. Da vis. ..Both men, after committing their traitorous act, attempted to redeem themselves by posing as reform legisla tors. But both were under corporate in fluence which tbey now feebly exclaim is against them. Republicans of Redwood and Brown counties. The time has ar rived for a firm stand. Stand bythe Re publican ncminee, as declared by the State committee. Remember, when you step into the booth on Nov. 6th next that party interest and paity honor is at stake, and that a vote for the regular nominee is against boodle practices, is against the greatest foe of this govern ment—the buying of official positions. That much you owe to posterity.—Red wood Gazette. Mf^ n~trz— '*$*£' Seed Gems. A ^iThe following are some of the apt ex pressions which we have culled from the article by Thomas B.

YARNS, YARNS. Saxony yarn, 8 cts a skein. German Knitting yarn at 20 and 25 cts. per skein. We have one of the largest lines in the city. See it. OTTOtVtfiYEjrO When a man does not mean what he says, you can never tell what he does mean, except in the sorrowful way in which we are now learning the meaning of the Democratic platform. Individual Democrats have principles, but the party has none. The whole Democratic party except Hill—if it could be called a Democratic party without Hill—in the senate finds Democratic'principle in taxed and mon opolized sugar and taxed coal and taxed iron. Free raw material is Democratic principle in the White House. One important, nay, one indispensable perquisite, for the good government *of* this country by a party in power must be that that party shall be agreed with in itself. If it is agreed, then you know what it will do. If it be discordant and belligerent, what it will do nobody can tell. Of course, business must move some what. The prostrate form niudt stagger to its feet, because suspended animation long continued is death, and we are not going to die. There is not stupidity enough in this nation to kill it. Prosperity does not perch upon uncer tainty. The great motive power of oiir pro-** gress in civilization and comfort is the wide distribution of the wealth of the country which is the result of keeping all our people employed. The thing which hangs like a pull to day over business is the speech-making and letter-writing of Democratic leaders, and we can have no prosperity, even if the optomists are right until thesilver or these orators' silence and the gold of their speech have been brought to the parity of zero. It May do as Much for Ton. jjf Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving. 111., writes" that he had a Severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected'.
