The at- tempt failed, however, and it looks as though both of these giant counties will be given self government before the legislature adjourns. Tue Herald- Review is rather pleased at the outcome of the city election held in Duluth the other day, not because it had auy particular in- terest in the success of either party, but the result was an emphatic slap in the face of that morning defender of everything monopolistic, the | ‘*Newspitoon,” as it is frequently re- ferred io. We read with much regret from week to week the apparently unend- ing warfare carried on between the Carlton county papers. Why is it, may well be asked, that editors of newspapers will persist in charging each other with all sorts of crime until the communities in which they live finally come to regerd all mem- | bers of the Fourth estate as escaped | convicts, gencral deadbeats and | social outcasts? True, there | have been some personalities passed between members of the fraternity | hereaway, but only in a mild form, | calculated to deceive the public | regarding the gigantic trust that has been in existence in Grand Rap- ids between the publishers for some time. Quite the contrary, however, seems to be the Carltgn county case. The brethren adjoining us on the south appear to be in dead earnest and determined to exterminate each other after the fashion of the famous Kilkinney cats. It is a}l wrong and should be submitted to a board of arbitration consisting of the Magnet Moose and the Herald-Review editor. eo HOW THEY LIED, During the whole campaign of last vear, the Republicans const antly | claimed that the election of Mc- Kinley meant the immediate return of prosperity, and so persistent were they in making the ciaim that they caught with it—chaff, though it was —a very large portion of the laboring vote, particularly of the unemployed vote. Indeed, immediately after the election the goldbug papers all over thé country commenced holding out the delus)ye hope to these poor dupes tbat we were then just on the eve of a period of unexampled prospesity, when there would be work for all at largely increased wages. For in- stance, on the morning after the election’ the Pittsburg Dispatch, a rabid goldbug paper, annouced the results under the following stirring Outside Relief is Urgently Needed.” Thus, we see thas the Republican Pronises have not been fulfilled and that there is no prospect of their being fulfilled. It was a knowledge of this fact that brought about our sweeping silver victory in this city on last Tuesday, and if the general election could be held over again McKinley would be buried out of sight and hardley a goldbug con’- gressman could be elected from Maine to California.—R. C. Mitchell in his Duluth Tribunal. WILL IT SUCCEED? Lyman J. Gage, money king, banker and, after March 4, secretary of the U. S. treasury, has very fully defined his position on the monetary question and informed the country specifically what his policy will be. It is sometimes well tu know the worst at once, and in the case of the new secretary’s policy the worst could be no worse. Mr. Gage, answering for publica- tion written questions, declares for the permanent retirement of the greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates and the gradual sale of the silver purchased under the Sher- man act. In place of this vast amount of money he proposes ‘“‘some | well-guarded system of bank note circulation, broader and more elastic than the present national bank act provides,” stipulating that “such bank notes should be redeemable ata central place in gold only.” It is fair to presume that Mr. Gage voices the purpose also of President- Elect McKinley, who has called him to his cabinet. At any rate he de- fines the purpose and plan of the banking intersts of the country, but for which the single gold stand- ard campaign, before and after the St. Louis convention, had not been. ‘That purpose, in a word, is to make gold alone, permanently, the sole standard and measure of values, and to give into the hands of the banks the issuance of all credit money. The gold standard policy, instead of waking any place for an enlarged use lof silver, proposes to contract: the present use of silver. It proposes further bond issues, and eitber a permanent national debt or a bank currency based on the state and municipal debts and bank capital. ‘The single gold standard program is precisely what the Herald-Review told its readers it would be imme- diately after the St. Louis conven- tion. It is precisely what Republi- cans then stoutly denied it would be. Understanding perfectly well the animus of the struggle, it was said following the election that the Issue of the coinage of silver was to be overshadowed by the greater issue whether the government or the banks should coutrol the paper curren ‘The insincere goldite press, realizing the force of this thrust, tried to make it appear that the free silver policy favoring an irredeemable, flat cur- rency, when they knew that it was standing for the very reverse—a cur- rency based on both the precious metals, while Mr. Gage, (President McKinley) proposes a currency based on bank resources. The success ofthe goldite program would sound the death knell to bi- metallism, as it intended to do. Will it succeed ? headlines: ‘“‘McKinley & Hobert ! Prosperity Assured—The People Vote Confidence Back—Gold Refused at the U.S. Treasury—The Old Stock- ingsGiving up Their Hoardings—Bus- iness Booming—Smoke to Soon Roll Out the Tops of Long Dissused Chim- neys—Workmen May Now Scour up Their Old Rusty Dinner Pails—The Gaunt Welf Hunger to no Longer Haunt the Homes of the Poor,’’&c. Of course this was a very charming annoucement to those who were gullible enough to believe it, but how has this promise been redeemed? Echo answers, ‘thow?” The plain truth is that the knowledge of the Yact that this country is doomed to four years more of Clevelang’s gold- standard policy had such a debres- sing effect upon all industries and in all lines of business, that the depres- sion bas been increasing in intensity from week to week, from that date notil the presept moment. Most of ube goldbug papers have now thrown off their disguise and are now en- deavoring to pacify the populace, by telling us that we must ‘tbe reason- able’hand “have patience” and must give McKinley ‘'tjme” to procure the enactment of a bigh tariff ahd then give that law “time” to be tested, before we can expect a return of pros- perity, and some of those papers are even frank enough to admit that there is no prosperity in sight as yet. For instance, the same paper aboye named, in its issue of Sunday, Jan- uary 23, announced the degree of prospetity which McKinley’s election has brought to Chicage, in the fol- lowing equally startling headlines: “Much Danger of Bread Riots— Four Thousand Starving People ‘Threaten the Careless Rich of Chicago —City is Becoming Aroused—Skiled Mechanics, Bookkeepers and Retail Merchants now Suppliants for Charity PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF ‘County Commissioners oF Itasca County, Minn, Held February 6th, 1897.
