POOR JOEL, ANSWER. ' The Duke of Northfield Speed ily Called by Congress man Hall. SOKE SILLY QUESTIONS Are Well Answered by a Man Who Knows What He Is j Talking About. SOPHISTRIES STILETTOED. , The Ncrthfield Gentleman ; Should New Do a Little Answering. Hon. O. M. Hall has written a letter I answering many of the questions of Joel ! P. Ueatwole in such a manner as not lo leave the latter a leg to stand on. The Utter in lull is given below: Kkp \Vi.\i;. .Minn.. Oct. 6.— My Dear Mr. Heatwole: 1 have just read your letter published in this morning's Pio neer Press. While 1 concede that a candidate should not allow liiuiM'lt to be made a target for all me irrelevant and impertinent questions which may be Bred at him by irresponsible parlies, 1 nevertheless cannot see any impro priety in his answering questions direct ly pertinent to the great issue involved in his campaign, especially when they are asked by his principal opponent. 1 trust that you regard this matter in the same light. 1 will now answer as many of your thirty questions as my present time and space will permit, Before 1 am through with you 1 will answer them all. First— You slate that you have re liable authority for tlie assertion that two \e.its ago ilS'.rJi 1 promised that wheal would be worth $1.-5 per bushel i; the Democrats succeeded in that cam paign, etc., and ask me if 1 believed it to be true. The Price ol" Wheat. Answer— I never believed ii. to be true, and 1 never made any such state ment. 1 did contend that the election of a Democratic congress and adminis tration would, by a reform of the tariff, j be of great benefit to the farmer, of this country. Tiie position 1 took was that while tariff reform could not add one cent to the price of a farmer's wheat, it would increase the purchasing power of the money he received for hii wheat by mincing llio cost of the things he b 'light with it. 1 have repeatedly dis cussed this in many of ray speeches winch nave been published. 1 have before me the printed copy of my speech of acceptance, made when I was Cist nominated at Sbakopee in IS'jo, two years before the dates to which you re fer. 1 then ; aid, "A tax of 30 cents a bushel on wheat has never added a fraction of a cent to the selling price of our wheat." After dis cussing at some length the reasons for this statement I added: '•Consequently it makes no difference what the tariff may be, or whether there is any tariff at all on wheat. It does not enable us to sell it at an in creased price." *.";.*:•" "Whatever increases the cost of that which we buy, in effect decreases the value of that Which we sell. Protection Debases the Crops of the American farmer just as the Bourbons of France debased the coins ot the realm— lessening their purchasing power.'" Jt a tariff does not affect the selling price of the com modity,it is self-evident that the absence of a tariff cannot affect it. My position has always been that the price of wheat was determined in those foreign markets where we sold our surplus in competition with the world's wheat; and. therefore, as no legislation of ours could affect the foreign market, it could not affect the home market. But 1 con tended just as strenuously that, while we could not by tariff legislation in crease the normal price of our wiieat. we could, by reducing the- tariff upon tiie things we bought, so re duce their prices as in effect to give to our wiieat a greater purchasing power, lf wheat is low today, it is so because it is low in Liverpool. Our tariff legislation cannot have affected the price of oui wheat, because it could not affect the markets of Liverpool. Our surplus wheat crosses the ocean, but out tariff laws do not. lt is fortunate, in deed, for tiie American farmer that the taxes upon farm machinery, woolen goods, etc., have been removed or re duced. For with wiieat at its present world's pric*, and the necessaries of life at McKinley's prices, he would be ground between the millstones of low prices for what he sells and high prices for what he buys. Better Examine the Land, Joel. Passing, but not ignoring, questions 2. 3, ■;. 5 and 6, permit me to answer the questions scissored by you lrom a recent editorial in the Pioneer Press, viz., 7. t You say : "You voted to put a tax ot b_.l* per cent on rice (a Southern staple) and on barley (a Northern staple) you reduced the tax from tii.i'ti t0 25 per cent. Oil oats you reduced the tariff .run 35.09 to 20 "per cent; on potatoes you voted to scale the tariff from 51.06 to 20.TS per cent." Question— Why did you vote for the Southern rice planter and against the producers of barley, oats and potatoes ol your own district? Answer— l didn't. Joel.. Had you looked at the law instead of the editorial column of the Pioneer Press you would have omitted this question from your catechism. You have again been reliably misinformed. Let us look at the details of this ques tion. Rice— The law ol ISS3 taxed im ported rice -'.! cents per pound, or 1..**... per cent. This was a Kepublican law. McKinley in ISW reduced the tax to cents per pound, or 111.85 per cent, Also a Republican law. We reduced it top, cents per pound, or 8:5.8!) per — —^m Awarded lighest Honors — Fair. •PR; CREAM 7 BAHIN6 mmm MOST PERFECT MADE. . i pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Free |tm Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant j 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. 1 1 ___3B|^^ wF t . cent. lv oilier word*, wo reduced the proiccii.n upon this Southern staple 43 ncr cent below the Kepublican tariff of 188!. and 28 per oeut below the McKin ley law. Potatoes— The Kepublican law of 1581 taxed imported potatoes 15 ceuts per bushel; McKmlev increased the lax to 25 cents; we reduced it to 15 cents, the same as it was before the advent of McKinley ism. Oats— The law of 18S5 taxed imported oats M per cent; McKinley raised the lax toU'i.tni; we reduced it to 2J. being Hi per cent below McKinley and l per cent below ISS». Now compare these reductions on oats and potatoes with the -is and 42 per cent reduction on Southern rice and tell me where the ".sectionalism" comes In. Informed as to Barley. Barley— Under the Republican law of IS-sl imparled barley was taxed 21.513 per cent: "McKinley raised it tolil.oS per cent; we reduced it, not to 25 percent _.-. staled by you, mil to 30 per cent. We sectional Democrats leave upon this great Northern staple ß.-4 percent more than the Kepublican tariff of 1883. fco much has been said about barley, not by you. Joel, but by your assistants, that you must pardon mc if 1 say upon the subject more than the simple an swering of your question requires. Of all grains barley is the one most frequently sold by sample. Its value depends not merely upon its weight and plumpness, but largely upon its color. Two loads of barley may grade alike sj far as weight is concerned, and yet one, by reason of its color, will bring a much higher price than the other. In grading the weight is a determinable factor, but ihe color too often depends upon the jaundiced eye and cupidity of the one who does the* grading. Conse quently it is difficult to compare the prices of barley Iroui year to year with any degree of accuracy. We can com oare the price ot ,his season's "best" with that of last season's "best." but without samples we cannot compare the barley itself. I ftankly concede that this gives to all attempted com parisons of prices an element of uncer tainty and unreliability. Farmers Pooled on This. tew -j-** . , w _ ■ , — . , \m. warn As you go through the district dis cussing this treat issue to the people, you will tii id many intelligent men from the farms who can tell you all about barley. McKinley more than doubled the tariff mi it. If it in fact "protected" the farmer, if it really benefited him it must have permanently increased the price of barley. Now ask any business farmer, one who is in the' habit of watching the markets and keeping an account of his farming operations, to open his books; and, bearing in mind the color difference! of which 1 have spoken, let him see for himself whether upon the average b.irley Ims Drought a higher price in the years following the passage of the 'McKinley law il.tiu* than barley of like quality Drought In the same number of years preceding the McKinley law. 1 have done thisT . I have sold barley upon both sides of that law, before and alter its passage, direct from the farm, it was my duty to watch the trend of the barley market. I did so, and preserved memoranda thereof. I select for purposes of com parison the "barley months" of Sep leml.er, October and November in each year. Poor Uest Year. Quality. Quality. 18SS :l()c 45c IbSSJ 3UC 48. ISW 300 4TC li'S-i 2.1 c 4iie Tlie Price L'ncliansted. This shows that barley brought sub stantially the same price in the two years preceding the McKiuliiw law that it brought in the two years after that law. Although McKinley more than doubled the lax on barley, he did not permanently affect its marKet price, it was the prevailing opinion of those people who relied upon McKinley's prophecies that the passage of his law would create a marked and permanent advance in the price of barley. To some extent, and for a short time, his predic tions seemed to be realized. There was a brief "spurt" in . prices— a spasm of speculation which sent Parley up a few cents. But its force was soon spent, and barley has since retained substan tially the .same price it had before the McKiuley law, when the tariff was 8.41 per cent lower than it is iv the new law. The point 1 make is that it is within the knowiege and experience of every intel ligent tanner that McKinley's increased tariff ban no permanent effect upon the barley market. Barley is mainly consumed in the form of beer, Joel. The best barley makes tiie best titer. There has gro.vii up with us an enormous, but since the McKinley law, a decreasing export trade in beer. We send it to every port where the ships go. Its reputation is established all around, the globe. Only the best quality of beer is export ed, In order to maintain* this export trade, in order to maintain the reputa tion and grade 0 their beers, it is nec essary for our brewers to use only the best quality of barley. The crop in the United States is always a precarious crop. A slight raiu, a little dew dis tilled in the night, will often discolor and deteriorate the quality of the crop. Our Beer Sent Everywhere. And yet, in bushels, the crop may be amply sufficient for all purposes. We rarely produce sullicient barley of the best quality to meet the demands of our brewers. In order to maintain tiie standard of tlieir best beers they are compelled to import large quantities of barley, mainly from Canada, lf you will examine the statistics you will see that the large.t importations have been in the years when we had not a snort crop, but a poor crop— poor in quality. You will also find that the price paid for tins imported barley at "the place wiiere it was purchased (in Canada usually) was just about the same price that the best quality then brought in our own markets, in 1.93 the average value ot the barley imported (exclusive ot duty) was 40 cents, the market price of the same quality of barley in our own market that year. The brewers im ported it and paid the duty upon it be cause they must have it, and it could not be had in our own markets. The prosperity of the barley producer is directly dependent upon the prosper ity of the barley user. Strike down the breweries of this country and you prac tically destroy its barley market. Their prosperity depends upon their ability to maintain the standard of their beers, and for this they must have the very best quality of barley. If by a higher prohioitoryttariff you render it difficult or impossible for them to procure that quality elsewhere when we have it not at home, you embarrass and curtail their business, and by so doing diminish their purchasing powers in the markets where our barley is sold. Ido not believe in the policy of ob structing the prosperity of those who trade with us. 1 have no sympathy with that cannibalistic protectionism which leaches the unwholesome doctrine that the seller thrives by the ruination of the buyer. As to Future Legislation. Barley, as 1 am informed, is now bringing in our markets about the same prices the same quality brought in 1888 and 1888, before, and in 189_ and 1893, after, the McKiuley law. That law did not increase its price, but the Wilson law not only lias maintained the price of barley, but it has given to it a much greater purchasing power than it has had for many years past. A bushel of barley is worth more to the farmer, because it will buy more of the things he uses than at any time in the past thirty years. Our new tariff will not, in my judgment, raise the price of either barley or wheat, but it will in crease the value of both, because it has reduced the prices of the things pur chased by both. I shall probably again r°cur to the subject of barley before lam through with your questions. And, now. having thus crudely, but frankly and as fully as my limited space and time will permit, answered soma of your questions, allow me to remind yon that you have not as yet answered one of mine. Those which I ask relate to future legislation. Every subject.re ferred to In them will unquestionably be directly before the next congress for consideration, and probably In the form THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNiNG.

Vast Swarm of Winged Ants Mov ing Swiftly in the Sky. Utica Observer. "While driving home from Oneida last Friday," said a farmer who lives iv the extreme western part of the coun try, "1 saw a big cloud moving due north over the fields and woods. There wasn't any wind blowing, the air was still, and I was unable to account for the presence of a big, dark cloud speed ing away across the heavens on such a still, bright day. "At first 1 thought that it was a cloud of smoke from the railroads, but then when 1 first saw it the cloud was in such a position that it could not possibly have come trom the West Shore rail road, and even if it had there never was a cloud. of smoke that hung so closely together and so long as that did. As I sat on my wagon it appeared to me to be a mile long and perhaps half a mile wide, but. of course, that part of it was all speculation, for no one can make a very accurate guess of the size of a cloud. "The body in the sky was as dark as the smoke from a locomotive, and looked to be quite dense. It traveled quicker than any cloud ever scudded before a thunder shower in this section. When it first attracted attention it was high up in the heavens, but it rose and tell several times like the soaring of a bird. Once it was but a few feet above the top of some woods. Again it took an upward course, and continued on ward in an unswerving north course. It was about 5 o'clock that the cloud passed. "That evening I noticed a number of reddish winged wood ants about ou the grass and in the roads. It occurred to me the strange cloud in motion might have been a cloud of the flying ants. The more I pondered over the phenom enon the more 1 became convinced that it was a cloud of ants that passed over the country. Such a story was too big for me to tell, although there was proof enough of the fact for my mind, so 1 held my peace and simply spoke to my family of the strange cloud. Others had ' seen it, too, yet none suspected what it was, and we finally dismissed it. "A day or two afterward 1 - was in Constableviile and there the farmers told me they had seen the same thing. There was no doubt of it either, for a number of them watched the cloud and at that place it passed so slow that they caught the insects in their hands. They were the same flying ants. We com pared notes and found that it required just an hour for the swarm to move from the place where they were first seen to Constableviile. The distance in a straight line is thirty-one miles. They were in Oneida county at 5 o'clock and at just 6 o'clock they were seen in the North. The ants continued northward and nobody has told me where they slopped." .

Lake Indian reservation on terms that will give the poor man a chance as well as the wealthy lumber man. ...... The answer has been rendered in an emphatic manner at a dozen or more great meetings held by Maj. Baldwin since then in the woods of St. Louis ami Itasca, as well as among the fertile farms of Steams and Wright. The people are with Maj. Baldwin in his gallant lulu against the pine land rings, I hey want the rich lands of the. Red lake country opened, as provided in Baldwin's Chippewa bill, and they, are going to make it very warm for the men who dare to oppose this bill. The people in the lied river valley as well as those farther east are alive to the importance of this matter, and the other day, when Dr. McLean, the Dem ocratic candidate for congress, visited Crookston, he was promptly asked to state his position on the 'matter. Dr. McLean promptly declared that the position of Maj. Baldwin is right, and, after calling attention tothe rich lands in the reservdtion and the vexatious delays in opening it, he said: The Credit Is Baldwin's. "When the change of administration came two years ago," continued the doctor, "it was hoped that a remedy for all this would "be especially provided. The matter was at once brought to the attention of the interior department by Congressman Baldwin nnd other influ ential Democrats. Promot action was promised, and. m fact, was taken. Mr. Baldwin, who is the congressman from the Sixtii district, introduced and had passed in the house a bill calling tor the opening and settling of t c reservation just as soon as 100.008 acres was sur veyed and estimated. Senator Davis refused point blank to support the measure in the senate, and for that reason it did not become a 1 w." .' "To Mr. Baldwin, then." added Mr*. McLean, "belongs all the credit fot what was done toward opening this valuable piece of government land.?'.- ,; At the time Baldwin's bill passed; the house every member from Minne sota favored it, and Senator Washburn declared that he would do all in his power to hf Ip it through the senate. Senator Davis blocked the. way. and now it is reported that the pine land rings have secured a promise from Sen T ator Washburn to act with Senator Davis. If this is correct there are.sev eral questions the -people have aright to ask and demand' an answer ' before they elect legislators to vote for the return of Hon. W. D. Washburn. They are: ls it true, Senator Washburn, that you have promised to oppose Maj. Baldwin's Chippewa bill, providing for the opening of the Red Lake reserva tion as fast as 100.000 acres are surveyed am! estimated? If elected. Senator Washburn, will you co-operate with Maj. Baldwin to open the Ked Lake reservation as early and as rapidly as possible, or with Sen ator Davis to keep it sealed ud until the pine land rings want it opened? r- - *■• Meantime the people of Northern Minnesota have a right to demand Sen ator Davis' reasons for his actions on the Baldwin bill.

The people of the Third district of Minnesota have reason to be proud of the manner in which they have been represented in congress by Hon. O. M. Hall. He has in three years won a place among the leaders of his party in the lower house, and is considered one of Democracy's ablest advocates, either in the halls of congress or before the people. At the time Congressman William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, went home to his district to receive a nomination by acclamation he in vited a party friend from each of the great sections of this country. Eminent men ot long service, like Gov. elect Oates, of Alabama, and Gen. Charles Tracey, of New York, were chosen ftom other sections, but from the great West. Congressman Hall, of Minnesota, was the choice of Mr. Wil son. Mr. Hall went to Martinsburg when Mr. Wilson was renominated, and made a speech that set the convention wild. The delegates went home, and as soon as Mr. Wilson's congressional commit tee was organized, demands for the elo quent Minnesotan began to come in. Although knowing that Mr. Hall could hardly accept.

How the Postmasters in the Third ■ i District Aro Divided. rs An attempt has been made to injure Congressman Hall among the German Democrats of the state and his district •by the charge that he has not appointed or recommended German Democrats for public places. As all who have kept track of the appointments in the Third congressional district know, there is no foundation for such a charge. To show conclusively, however,' the falsity of this claim, it is only necessary to point to the fact that of the two consuls ap pointed from Minnesota during the •: present administration one is a German, Louis Stern, a bright, capable ana de serving young Democrat. But to get to the Third district, there have been eighty-six postmasters appointed in the ten counties composing it since March >_. 1803, and of these no less than thirty ..three are German- Americans, and good Midway Types, Magic City, 9-^2-r Country.
