‘Review Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. Two DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE tered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, ne Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter DA CAPO AND REPEAT. Did it ever occur to. you where this sort of thing is gotngto end? Demands are made for increased wages on ccount of the in- creased cost of living. whieh is mostly caused ‘by the increases of wages preetaely eeey i—a wheel within a wheel that promises to ‘go on indefinately. The manufacturer says: Certainly. you can have more wages and shorter hours—dig in, help yourselves, take anything you want, "but for heaven's sake don't shut down my plan’ siness is good, Iam behind on or- “ders, we must keep the plant in operation at ‘all hazzards. And the demands are conceded. *Doesthe manufacturer take itout of his net earnings? No. sir—not on your sister's pictme; it comes out of us consumers. The imanufacturer gets out a new owing-to-the in- ‘creused-cost-of-production-and-the-advance- ment-in-wages-and-raw-material price list ‘that more than makes up for the increases in Wages granted and “God’s putient poor again titwhere Mary Jane wears her beads."— ‘ew Richmond Republican Voice. j 1 Where is it going to end? It is going toend dear boy, just where itdid before, in yeur voting the Republican ticket. Itis going to yend in your voting to leave things as they are, . You clamor against the trusts and vote to Jet wellenough alone. You cry for tariff re- vision und vote to ttand pat. You fume against the proposed ship subsidy and elect men to vote for it. You protest against the domination of special interests and vote to renew their charters. You complain that our prosperity is absorbed by the forestallers and register your decision that prosperity must not be disturbed. Republican Voice is it? Vox et preterea nihil. Which is latin for hot air. As we remarked before, you are getting just what you voted for, President McKinley declared in his last speech. “the period of exclusion is past.” Ygu applauded that. But you are gving to vote against lowering one bar of the Chinese wall we have reared to shut ourselves out from the advantages that belong to us. President Roosevelt echoed the same senti- ament, saidonce that he would die for free trade. He could kill himself politically by <espousing it, Haven't seen any funeral motice, have you? + You are not alone in your folly. Console yourself. We have a hundred and fifty thous- and voters in Minnesota dazed with the sume silliness. They shout themselves black in the face for the bénefit of the trusts they de- nounce between whiles. They want to tame the railroads and they elect men like Mills and Miller to do it. They are keen for upsetting what Lind once called our imbecile tariff policy aud they gloat over the burial of the only men who ever tried to reverse it. Got acircular from one of them yesterday. He is plugging for Canadian reciprocity. This circular is a very clever statement of the foolishness of laying protective duties on wheat, a duty that was laid togull the farm- ers and not otherwise. He shows that it stands in the way ofthe American’ farmer's getting his best price much more than it helps him. Help him, indeed. it cannot, But is the author of this cireular going to do anything about it? Not from any symptoms yet ob_ -servable, He is going to work for all he is worth—and he’s worth a great deul—to head off the people who would accomplish some- thing in that direction. at Where is it going to end? Forthe present in your voting to leave things as they ure and -fighting with utmost determination those “who would better them. But finally you “shall join hands to abolish special privilege. when you are cured of your superstitions, <whea your voice is expressed in Voting, when a your wishes become horses on, which. you ride toaccomplishment. eas m Eset ti ee: Ist’t it plain as can be that whoever works fairly for his living makes more than he eats?

Hence every other will get what he makes. Prosperity will be subject to no abatement. That's as plain as two and two, But what do vou care? You give your Voice and Vote to keep things as they are aud you'll squelch any man who wants to try better ways! —Goodhue County News. NOW READY FOR BUSINESS. August Johnson, the Merchant Tailor, Has Some Rare Bargains to Offer. By the expenditure of about five hundred dollars August Johnson, the merchant tailor, has his sales and stock room fitted up in first class style, andit now presents about as attractive appearance as any business place in Grand Rapids. But the arrangement and neat interior ap- pearance of the place is not the great- est attraction that Johnson has to offer his customers.. You wjll notice alarge number of made up suits, pants and overcoats hanging up as you enter the store. These suits, overcoats, etc., are mostly goods that have been made to order for parties who have falled to call for them. On these goods original deposits of from fiye to fifteen dollars have been paid. They must be sold, and of course must go at a great sacrifice. In some icases they will be suld at less than one half the origina! cost. You mav find a suit that will fit you as per- fectly as though your own measure had been taken. However that may be, if you find in the lot what pleases youin pattern Johnson will make it fit perfectly and sell it at a price that will save the purchaser money. Just drop in and take a look at what he has to offer. A three thousand dollar stock of piece goods is now being received and will be ready for inspection. This will certainly be the finest stock of piece goods ever displayed by any merchant tvilorgn Itasca or any other county in this section of the state. If you do not find what strikes your fancy in the goods displayed Johnson has a thousasd samples of the very latest aud most fashionable patterns turned out of the factories. If Johnson can’t suit you, yoo can’t be suited, that’s all. To His New Field Prof. E. T. Carroll and family left for their new home in Wadena on Wednesday of this week.

Marriage of Miss Bessie Brady. The following item of interest to Grand Rapids people is taken from the St. Paul Globe of Aug. 27th. ‘Miss Bessie Brady, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was married last evening at St. Luke’s church, to Lawrence B.

Mr. W. 1), Washburn Jr., of Min- nsapolis, does not visit Itasca county very often notwithstanding he is the owner of seventy-five thousand acres of Itasca county real estate. His rare visits, however, is no indication that he does not keepin close touch with the progress of town and county. He is one of the most active business men in the northwest, and he has un- limited faith in the future of this, the banner agricultural county of northern Minnestoa. Mr, Washburn arrived in town Friday afternoon and immediately took a drive into the country in company with his local agent, Mr. George A. Fay. “He ex- pects to remain here several days looking after his interests. A Fight With Wolves. Frank Caldwell of the Big Fork, was in town Wednesday, and had an interesting story to relate of. exper- eee with a pack of five wolves near Virginia Iske. He was on his way home in the afternoon when he sud- came. upon .a.-bunch..of the “varmits.” They immediately showed ffght and there was nothing left for Frank to-do but fight back. He was armed, with a large Colt’s revolver’ which he used with deadly effect on three, when the other two-circled around and made their escape. As evidence of the exciting encounter, he brought a scalp to town with him. Mr. Chapman’s Address. A communication from Supt. H. H.
