The sewer connection from the court house is now completed and the boxing, to prevent the frost from reaching it in winter, proved to bea larger piece of work than a casual glance would indicate.

The sewer system in general has been overhauled this season, and Hennessey & Murphy have been kept busy putting it into condition for first-class service in winter as well as in summer, ITASCA COUNTY AIR we Cures Hay Fever---Special Benefits Ex- perienced in This Locality.

He had never before had so much improvement and such pleas- ing freedom from the annoying symp- toms of hav fever in so. short a time, as he had here. He was able to en- joy the fishing in comfort and he keenly relished his success in angling for black bass. ‘With these large, modern hotels at Grand Rapids and so many handsome lakes near by,” said he, “your town should soon be- come a favorite health and pleasure resort of the North.” Mr. Ramage went to the Twin Cities this week and has written that the grand carnival uation of the county 1s $184,997, making a grand total of $893,232. displays promise to yield him a full measure of enjoyment. this | FICTION VERSUS FACT. The Free Sawing of Lumber Cuts no Ice in Regard to Free Coinage. A bright and pungent writer foists i a deceptive bit of fiction upon this’ ¢ community in the last issue of our H gold bug contemporary, in an effort to belittle the free coinage of silver question. The fiction is catchy be- cause the plot is laid here and applied locally. It denies the practicability | of a manufacturing enterprise for the “free sawing of lumber” by the govern- ment, upon the principles that under- lie free coinage. ‘Lhe author present- ed a Utopian view of the grand _pos- sibilities of such a free-of-cost saw mil | enterprise for Grand Rapids, and then proceeded to demolish the supposi- tion by calling attention to: the fact that human nature would lead others to resent the building up of our pros- perity at the expense of the rest of the country. “And,” said he, “they would be right. The scheme would be both outrageous and nonsensical, but not one whit more so than coin- ing the product of the silver syndicate mines into money at the public ex- pense.” If that is the case—if the free coin- age of silver does’ not stand upon a different plane than any supposed free coinage of lumber, then the question naturally arises: What great humini- tarian oj does this government strive to accomplish in proceeding with the free coinage of gold? Ifit is merely nonsense to do any free coinage then the supposition applies to gold as well as to silver. We can all imagine many ..possibili- ties, but the most -successful people are those who imagime that-which 1s correct. ‘No greater’ effort of “the brain is necessary.’ This ‘currency question is affected by certain condi- tions which should be taken intd con- sideration in order to not imagine in- correct: conclusions... Nearly every business man concedes that’ bimetall- ism (the free co nage of both gold and silver) is a_saieguard against the machi who, if the Id corner the gold of the world, and have a gold standard currency as the only legal tender, would, in due time, wring the tribute of Cesar from all whom they could marshal and-drive into the ranks, of .the debtors. That is the danger of shylockism, and to reduce that danger the voice of the people rises to high heaven, asking for the hght to shine upon thé-best course to pursue in order to overcome the evils of gold monometallism. ‘This effort is right, even as the demonetization of silver was wrong. . Of the special privileges formerly reserved by governments, the found- crs of this Union saw fit to retain only two, namely, the coinage of money and the postal ‘service, and they so decreed in the constitution. The government exercises a surveillance over some other Jines of business where questions of revenue and of regulation are involved, but it does not enter into other business on ac- count of and at the risk of the govern- ment. Therefore, while the principles of free coinage can apply to questions concerning money, those i are extraneous and inaj ble in such imaginative attempts to apply them to other lines of industry. ‘There is no intention in this article to enter into a thorough discussion of | free silver coinage, but it is written mainly to. ‘call attention to the fact that this government does not deem it unconstitutional to proceea with the free and unlimited coinage of gold. The pungent fiction reacts upon itself, however, if it is given any con- sideration. If-white and Norway pine were to be sawed free by the govern- ment and only these materials were allowed in house building in this country, the demands would make both of these kinds. of lumber valu- able and easily disposed of. But if congress should then step in any say, “you shall use none but Norway pine in house building,” the price of Nor- way would rapidly advance and white pine would be neglected and cheap. It would be under the ban and in a- position similar to that which the gold shylocks would like to have silver | hold among the nations of the world. The Great Contest. The next few’ wecks will witness he close of one of the greatest con- tests that this world has ever seen— a contest of brain against brain, vote against vote, theory against theory, policy against poticy. It will bea! contest based upon measures rather than upon men. But theré can be no contest as to the popularity of the Saint Paul & Duluth railroad. That is fixed and unchangeable, for the Duluth Short’ Line has alw been orite route between St. Paul, apolis. Duluth, West Superior, |- lwater other mportant orthwestern points. Its facilities are so complete, its equipment so per- fect, its trains so fast, its schedules so convenient, that it naturally appeals to the. tourist or the business man and always keeps its patrons. ‘To go on the Duluth Short Line, therefore, is to go with the er circu- lars and general infort f may be! obtained of ticket agent: “by Wwrit- ingto W.
