BRYAN AND LIND TOUR OF THE STATE BY THE TWO GREAT LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE. Grand Outpouring of the People and Magnificent Display of Enthusiasm. Sweeps Over the Whole State Like an Irresistible, Overwhelming Tidal Wave. Unparalelled in the History of the State. Trade Balance Fallacy—Expansion vs, Reform the Imperialism — Roundup of Press Notes and Comment for Week, Ete., Ete. Rerorm Press BUREAU. Sr. Pavut, Oct. 1, 1900. Bryan’s tour of Minnesota has been one grand triumphal march. It far surpassed all precedent and even all expectations. Everywhere the people gathered in countless numbers and came from great distances to see and hear their great leaders, Bryan snd Lind. Ithas been an outpouring of people such as Minnesota, bas never seen before. The enthusiasm dis- played was overwhelming, irresistable. It swept over the country like a tidal wave and carried everything before it. Many a voter who was hesitating on the brink, plunged in and declared himself for Bryan and Lind with a will andavim that guarantees an over- whelming victory in November. Nor was the enthusiasm confined to any class or locality. Farmers with their wives and families drove across country dozens of miles to hear Bryan and Lind. In Duluth the laboring men were so anxious for an opportunity to hear Bryan, that they asked him to speak to them before they went to work in the morning, before 6 o’clock. The greatest demonstrations of all were the Twin City meetings. The surging masses of humanity that had gathered to greet their leaders,/the magnificent | display of enthusiasm, all this has no | parallel in the history of the state, and augurs well for the future. Bob Dunn’s speech against the pres- » administration is about the st thing on record. Democrats have at least one advantage in the pres- ent campaign. They don’t have to go back a generation or two to dig up ancient fossils in the boneyard of an- tiquity to throw at our opponents. We | can find carloads of brickbats and cob- | blestones on the streets and highways just anywhere. The greatest part of | the speech is devoted to a eulogy of Minnesota, its growth and prosperity. But Minnesota has not grown because of the Republican administrations, but rather in spite of it. The growth of Minnesota is not due to the Republican party but'to the energy, intelligence and thrift of her citizens, her wonder- ful resources and natural advantages. If the opposition can’t find anything | stronger against Governor Lind, they certainly won’t cut much ice. They had better go out of the business. The whole affair looks like a confession of incompetence on the part of the oppo- sition to make a case, more than any- thing else. A state with such resources and such energetic inhabitants as Min- nesota has, could not be retarded even by administrations of driveling im- veciles or arrant knaves, and in this respect the Republican administrations have not all been nearly as bad as they might have been. A few of them even came up toa very fair standard of in- ocuous mediocrity. | Down 1 the Minnesota River valley live thee farmers, Jones, Brown and Smith. Each owns a nice farm of 160 acres. Jones had his farm mortgaged for $5,000 at 6 per cent. During the past year he sold and took to town farm products amounting to $1,0(0,i.e., his exports amounted to $1,000. Now, the first thing he did was to pay the interest on tae mo:tgage amounting to $300. This left him $700 which he spent in clothing, furniture, farm im- plements, etc. His exports amounted to $1,000, his imports to $700, leaving a trade balance of $300 in his favor, ac- cording to McKinley’s way of figuring. Brown’s farm was not mortgaged. He also exported $1,000 worth of farm produce, allof which he invested in clothing and other necessities of life, farm implements, etc. His imports and exports were equal. Smith not only owned his farm, he had also lent out $5,000 to various peo- ple from which he realized the sum of $800 in interest. He also sold $1,000 worth of farm produce, all of which he invested in improvements, machin- ery, etc. His imports amounted to $1,300, his exports to $1,000, leaving a | trade balance of $300 againsthim. His imports were $300 more than his ex- ports. According to McKinley’s way of figuring, Jones was the most prosper- ous of these men, because his exports were $300 more than his imports, leay- ing a trade balance of $300 in his favor. To argue that we are prosperous be- cause we export more than we import is a fallacy like the rest of McKinley’s arguments. The simple fact is, that countless millions of foreign capital are invested in this country and the inter- est on these investments has to be paid for by products which we export and for which we consequently receive no returns. The only other country which has a similar trade balance in her favor is poor, down-trodden, starving India, which is similarly obliged to pay in- terest on immense investments of British capital, while in the case of Great Britain, which has invested im- mense sums in foreign countries, the imports far exceed the exports in value. What a tremendous waste of raw material af the university for our re- spected friend, Dr. W. W. Folwell, and | that is expansion. General Solicitor M. D. Grover of the Great Northern railway, to be making addresses upon the subject of Trusts,” when our great and good political au- thority, Marcus Aurelius Hanna, de- clares that there are no such things as trusts ! “‘We will give you the flag but not the constitution,’’ is what the Repub- lican administration says to the Phil- ippines. The flag is merely an em- blem. It has been held in the hands of traitors like Burr, and martyrs like Lincoln. It has floated over the slaughter of striking miners in Mon- tana, and over the heroic fields of ’76. It is merely an emblem: In the hands of a patriot, it stands for all thatis good and holy. In the hands of the carpet-bagger, the demagogue, the thief and the knavye, it is a meaning- less rag, or possibly even a cloak and pretext for his villany. The Constitution isa guarantee of equal rights and privileges to all. It is the thing itself of which the flag is the emblem. Without the Constitution the flag is nothing. Wherever the Consti- tution is extended, it becomes at once the paramount influence in the life of all that live under it. It is the same to all men at all times everywhere. It is an incalculable power for the uplifting of men, for justiceand liberty. It may be abused at times, but it carries within itself the power to remedy all such abuses. But this is the thing which the ad- ministration will not extend to the Philippines. McKinley will not give them the Constitution, but he does offer to them an emblem which may stand for much or nothing, accordingly as it isin the hands of a patriot or of a knave. Says Mac to the Philippines—‘‘You see we can’t let you have the Constitu- tion, but we will bring the flag, which | represents the Constitution and wave it over you,.and in our hands, that will be just as good as the Constitution, for you know we are all patriots and you can surely take my word for it, for you know Luma good and holy man and I am actuated only by the deepest sense of duty and I go to church every Sun- day and contribute liberally to the mis- sionary fund, but if you won’t take my word for it and refuse to submit, I | shall come over there and shoot down every mother’s son of you, and wade in gore up to my neck.” But .he untutored Filipino thought he smelled a rat and would not submit, and Mac started in tocarry out his threat, and the Filipino wouldn’t stand and take it meekly, but tried to get in alick edgewise occasionally, and so they are at it ever since and Justice sits on her eternal throne with blindfolded eyes and the man who calls the slaugh- ter in the Philippines inhuman murder and criminal aggression, is denounced as a traitor by Republican demagogues and mountebanks. When we annex new territory, par- cel it out into free and sovereign states and territories, make the inhabitants free and sovereign citizens of the United States and guarantee to them the full benefits of the Constitution, that is what made usa great nation, When by slaughter and bloodshed we conquer populous islands without extending to them the rights and privileges of the Constitution, without admitting them into the Union as free states, without making the in- habitants free and sovereign citizens of the United States, that is contrary | to the Declaration of Independence, that is imperialism. The Democratic party has always been the party of ex- pansion, the policy which has extended the flag and the Constitution from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Republic- an party has become the party of impe- rialism, the policy which proposes to, extend the flag by bloodshed and slaughter regardless of cost, but is not willing to extend the Constitution with its guarantee of equal rights and privi- leges to all. In the latest of the Republican na- tional press documents three savage sheets were devoted to showing the prosperity of the campaign as gauged by bank deposits, absolutely ignoring the fact that money piled up in banks is no evidence of prosperity. It is when money is out doing its work of stimu- lating business that the country pros- pers. The enormous accumulation of money in banks is one of the ills that the people have to complain of. It does nobody any good there, neither helping business that needs it, nor bringing returns to the people who own it. Speaking of Authority Hanna, here comes Republican Governor Mount of Indiana calling Hanna down in the fol- lowing fashion: ‘‘If Hanna made that statement (that there are no trusts) he either did not know what he was talk- ing about or wanted to fool the people of the country. There ARE trusts in this country and they are fast grinding the life out of the American people and Ihope the people will rise in their might and crush them.” ‘ ; If Bryan and the anti-imperialists are responsible for the present continuation of the war in the Philippines, will the Republican press kindly tell us who was responsible for it before Bryan took an interest in the Philippines? A people that has fought for liberty as long as the Filipinos, don’t mind keep- ing on a little longer. That’s the rea- son why they are at it still. The work of the state board of equal- ization was brought to a close last week. The work this board has ac- complished, under the administration of John Lind, and under his personal direction shows more than anything else the purpose of Governor Lind to secure justice for all, and equal priv-, ileges for none; to make every one bear an equal share of the burdens of the. government, and not let them rest only on those who are least able to bear them. A full report of the work ac- complished in revising the tax asséss- ments of the state will be published next week.

Stitch to Save my Li HUN UAE NATE iti ong eS A poaningd costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights ofaballroom. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress must be finished in tithe. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness. loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J. +» writes : “Dear Mrs. Pinkuam:—I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done forme. At one time I suffered everything a woman could. I had inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhea. At times could not hold a needle .to sew. The first dose of your Vegetable Compound helped me so much that I kept on using it. I have now taken six bottles and am well and able to do my work. I also ride a wheel and feel no bad effects from it. Iam thankful to the Giver of all good for giving you the wisdom of curing suffering women. I recommend your med- icine to every woman troubled with any of these diseases.” Mrs. Sarah Swoder, 103 West St., La Porte, Ind., writes: “Dear Mrs. PrycHam:—It gives me ce easure to tell you how much good Lyd . inkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. “T had been a sufferer for years with female trouble. I could not sew but a few minutes at a time without suffering terribly with my head. My back and kidneys also troubled me all the time. I was advised by a friend to take Bese med- icine. Ihad no faith in it, but decide: to try it. After taking one bottle I felt so much better that I continued its use, and by the time I had taken six bottles I wascured. There is no other medicine for me. I recommend it to all my friends.” REWARD Owing to the fact that some skeptical people have from time to time questioned the genuineness of the testimonial letters we are conatuenny, pee we have ° deposited with the National City Bank, 1» Mass., $5,000, sic wil paid to any sata who will show that the above testimonials are not genuine, or were the writers’ blished before obtaining permission.—Lyp1a E, Pinkuam Mepicins Co, HUNT WOMEN FOR SCIENTIST.

I ask for 100 men and twenty-five wo- men, because they give me as much trouble as 100 men. Besides, women take to the woods when white strang- ers appear, and have to be hunted out. If the village government hesitates about giving me the subjects, I threat- en them with imprisonment, and sit down and wait. “Presently a woman will be seen re- turning to the village.

And then of political bets. His eyes sudden- ly brightened. “Wh—what do you say,” he stam- mered, desperately, “to making a little bet with me?” “I've no objection,” she sweetly an- swered. “Then,” he went on, “let’s go ahead and make a bet.
