Waseca Herald :
How Our Farmers Are Robbed
“The London Financial Times
of October 24th, announces that
the shares and debentures of the
Chicago & Northwest Granaries
company are ‘over applied for,’
and the list is closed. The cap
italization is equal to about ft 1,-
200,000, in shares of ftso each,
and Jthe profits are expected to
be not-less than 50 per cent, per
annum. The property comprises
the Star elevator at Minneapolis,
a flour mill at Canby, and 75 ele
vators along the Chicago and
Northwestern road in Minnesota
and Dakota. The business is re-
Eorted in the prospectus as
aving paid dividends of 28 per
cent, in 1886,22 percent, in 1887
and 30 per cent, in 1888. Also
that “the country elevator pays
four or five cents per bushel less
than the wheat can be sold for,
and also that it does ‘consider
able’ in selling coal, seed, salt,
etc., to the farmers at the same
time that the grain is bought.”
The English investors are there
fore justified in expecting 15 per
cent, profit even upon the greatly
increased (watered) capitaliza
tion.
Neither the mill or the elevator
managers of this country, have
ever before given the public an
inside view of their profits, and
this revelation was only intended,
probably, for the English invest
ors: nevertheless it may open
the eyes of our people a little. Is
it any wonder that our farmers
(and, as a consequence, the rest
of us) are growing poor, while a
few men are accumulating for
tunes—immense fortunes-combi
nations which draw money from
the producing masses unjustly?
When will the people elect legis
lators that will make such rob
bery impossible?
Where Poll tin a— Didn’t Pay.
“Politeness pays, does it!” he remarked,
sarcastically; “you bet it doesn't, and I can
prove it I”
“Oh, pshaw} Of course it does,” some
one, who wanted to draw Him out.
“But it doesn’t You see, it was this way.
I have been told that it was impolite to paas
a lame man on the street, so this afternoon I
thought I’d try it It was right at the corner
of Essex and Appleton—not much of a crowd
along there, you know, and there was a
cripple right in front of me. I was in a
hurry, but I let him keep ahead, and just as
we turned into Appleton street—say, don’t
tell me politeness always pays,” and he
paused.
“Go on with the story.”
“Well, just as we turned into Appleton
street what did this cripple do but stoop down
and pick up a bright twenty dollar gold piece
from the sidewalk? Politeness pays, does it?
If I hadn’t been so hanged polite I might ’a
had that double eagle. I’m going out now to
bump into all the wonua and old men I see.”
—Lawrence Daily American.
Lady Visitor (at office of eminent physi
cian) —I have called, doctor, to ask if there
is any cure for sleep walking. I have had
the habit for years, and lately it has become
worse.
Dr. Highprice—lt can be cured, madam.
Take this prescription, and have it filled at
Colde, Steele & Co.’s.

Taking a Mean Advantage.
“I understood you to say, didn’t I, that the
baseball season has ended!” suggested a Hart
ford housewife to her husband.
“Yes, my dear.”
“Then you won’t have to go down town to
see the score any more?”
“Well, er, I’spose not, exactly; but then,
you know, one must see his friends once in a
while.”
“Why not make friends with those of your
own household?”
And that is just the way a woman acts. —

Ought to Learn by Experience.
A clerk in one of the departments in Wash
ington has discovered that “soldiers in the
late war were killed in their first, third and
fifth battles more than in any other.” After
a soldier is killed in three battles he ought to
have experience enough to escape death in all
the subsequent engagements. —Norristown

John was in business in the city and one

The Aftermath.
MR. AND MRS. BOWSER.
Hiw He Wanted to Be an Alderman bat
Failed to Bring It About.
“Well, what do you think*” queried Mr.
Bowser, as he looked up at me across the sup
per table one evening.
“You—you haven’t been and bought an
other horse, Mr. Bowser F’
“Horse! Can’t you think of anything but
horse? 1 suppose you’ll throw that horse up
to me to your dying dayl”
*Tm so glad you have decided not to buy
another! Is it some more chickens, or a new
fire escape, or another dog to eat us upF’
He turned pale and refused to say another
word for two hours. Then he could hold him
self no longer, and he suddenly observed:
“I suppose you will feel proud of the title
of Mrs. Aid. Bowser.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just what I say. You are soon to be
known as Mrs. Aid. Bowser."
“Are you going to run for offlceF’
“I am. It was settled this afternoon. I
am going to be nominated for alderman of
this ward.”
“Mr. Bowser, is it possible that you are
going to let them lead you into any such fool
ishness! 1 thought yon had a more level
head than that, in spite of all your mistakes.”
“My mistakes!” he shouted. “I never made
one in my life, except when I married you!
Level head! I’d like to see some one who
carries a more level head than I do!”
“And so you are going to be alderman!”
“If I live.”
“But what for?”
“Because it is the wish of the people. My
country calls. The committee have canvassed
the ward and concluded that I was not only
the best man for the office, but the only one
who stood any show against the vicious oppo
sition. It is a sacrifice on my part, but the
true patriot must be ready to sacrifice.”
I didn’t say any more. As soon as he left
the house next morning I prepared for visit
ors, and I was not disappointed. He was
hardly out of sight before the bell rang, and
1 opened the door to find a dirty looking fel
low with his hat on his ear who asked:
“Is Bowser home?”
“No, sir.”
“Gets out pretty early, doesn’t he? Leave
any money for me?”
“No, sir.-”
“He didn’t, eh? Purty specimen of a can
didate he is! Expects us to do all the figurin’
fur nuthin, does he?”
“Who are you, sir?”
“Who are I?” he repeated as he slanted his
hat a little more and spit over his shoulder.
“I’m the party as carries this ward in his
vest pocket, I am, and if old Bowse don’t cum
down liberally he gets left. Tell him to come
and see me.”
Nine times that forenoon I answered the
bell to find a ward heeler or some other sort
of political parasite on the door step. One of
them even went so far as to ask me to pledge
Mr. Bowser to vote for him to run one of the
city hall elevators. There were three others
waiting for him when he got home to dinner,
and I saw him give them money. He came
in excited and jubilant, and when I told him
what had occurred he replied:
“Let the dear people come! They know
that I am the man to do all I can for them if
1 am elected, and elected I shall be as sure as
the sun rises on the day. What do you think?
1 was talking with a prominent man belong
ing to the opposition and he said it would be
no use for his party to put up a man against
me. Bowser stock is way up, heyl”
For a week I lived in a state of miserable
agitation. Every hour in the day a ward
heeler rang the bell, and when he wasn’t
ringing, it was some man who wanted a sew
er or other contract. Every evening the
house was full of politicians laying plans and
guzzling down my currant wine, and on
three nights Mr. Bowser had to “go the
rounds” of the ward and “see the boys.” On
the last night I had to help him up stairs,
and the tears rolled down his cheeks as he
whimpered:
“Shay, Mrs. Bowser, it just breaks my
heart to shee how e’r people love me. They
cry f’r me, and—and I cry f’r zhem!”
This went on for a week, and then the cau
cus was held to nominate. Mr. Bowser said
he would go through by acclamation, but as
the boys would expect some sort of speech,
not to say a keg of beer, afterwards, he
would have to be on hand. As soon as nom
inate(j there would be no more heelers run
ning after him, and a nomination meant
election by a large majority. I didn’t say
much, but I felt pretty sure how it would
come out.
Along about 9 o’clock he came home. He
was running. He also breathed hard and
looked white.
“What on earth is the matter now?” I ask
ed as he banged into the hall.
“G—gonel” he gasped.
“How gone?"
“Gone up."
“Mr. Bowser, tell me what has happened.
You act as if you had met a ghost and lost
your senses.”
“I—l didn’t get the nom—nomination I” he
whispered, his knees quaking so that he had
to sit down on a chair.
“Why didn’t you?”
-Life.
“Because they concluded that Mr. Scott
was the more popular and the stronger man.”
“What I That cross-eyed loafer who was
arrested only last week for whipping his
wife?”
“Y—yes.”
We looked at each other for a long time
without speaking. Then I said:
“I thought the dear people loved you, Mr.
Bowser.”
“Yes."
“You were to be selected above all others
and honors thrust upon you."
“Yes.”
“Your country called upon'you to down the
vicious opposition. You were the patriot who
was ready to sacrifice himself.”
“Yes."
“How much has this experience cost you?”
“Four hundred.”
“Well, you have made a fool of yourself,
and I hope it will be a lesson to you. You’d
better go to bed."
“I—l guess I will.”
At midnight he woke up, sat up in bed and
exclaimed:
“Look here, old lady, I hope you feel
better, having accomplished your villainous
object I”
“What do you mean!”
“I mean that you defeated me in the cau
cus I Everybody knows you, and this oppor
tunity for revenge could not be passed over.
Mrs. Bowser, you have gone a step too farl
To-morrow 1 shall consult a lawyer about
divorce proceedings!”
“Go to sleep."
“Yes, I’ll go to sleep, but don’t imagine I
shall forget or overlook your base duplicity.
I have borne and borne, but this is the end!”
Next morning, however, he made no refer
ence to the matter, and as some of his party
made him believe that he had been with
drawn in the interests of harmony, he came
home one day to observe:

for mayor, but I sha’n’t take the nomination.

FOl the first time in the history of Journalism a paper is issued
solely for your commercial and political interests.
THE GREAT WEST
Will not take up strictly agricultural matters. While the farm
ers have such magnificent journals in that department there is no
room for the crowding in of another claimant for favor.
But the farmer does need a journal devoted solely to his commer
cial interest. And, in this age of political aggressions and trans
gressions, it is impossible for any one to enlarge upon commercial
matters without primarily assaulting the over-shadowing political
powers and abuses of the monopolists.
Our patrons will soon become convinced that Dr. Fish is the
man to take editorial charge of such a paper. He was for years on
the daily press in the Commercial Department, and is thoroughly
acquainted with Board of Trade grain dealing and Exchange mat
ters, and knows a bond from a pig’s ear. He has always been an *
“ anti-monopolist”—outspoken and fearless.
EVERY FARMER IN THE WEST
knows how necessary it is to drop all local “ notions ” and “ whims''
ana likes-and-dislikes—and unite upon a broad state and national
policy. You are helpless without a press devoted to the work.
The toiler will see the mighty influence ot his hardy legions, by num
ber and ballot, S wept to and fro by thieving politicians, unless he
will put MONEY into a powerful press. It is the only remedy.
It will take an unflinching stand for justice to the toiler, and for a purer
political atmosphere. It will contain papers from the best minds of the
West, not only from Minnesota and the Dakotas, but from Kansas, Ne
braska and lowa.
Subscriptions for one year will now continue from date to Jan. 1,180 l
a trifle more than 1% cents per copy. It is economy for
you to send us your name and one dollar at once.
