"Protection" is in reality only the ^ old 'feudal bystem under another

name, dressed out in new togs to suit the fashion of the times. The basic, idea is identical with that of feudalism and when republican pa-

, pers and stump speakers flourish the empty dinner pail, they are only re-bashing the argument that has done the English land monopolists service for the last three hundred years. It i s the same old plea that when the lord of the manor has money the workers will enjoy good times, and there is nothing else to i t It is an extraordinary fact, but nevertheless true, that the English landowners have not only kept their own people comparatively contented with that sari of talk, but they have made it gospel wherever the British flag has been planted, and have impregnated the New World with the same pre­posterous delusion The United States has taken its thought, as it took the common law with which rules it, from England and it is real­ly not to be wondered at that the self same arguments which have prevailed in England should also meet with lavox and be believed here, that when the manor house flourishes, the ten­antry does well. It is the same old cry; prosperity has to begin at the top and trickle down, and yet is utterly absurd when looked at from a, rational viewpoint. Healthful grow­th of any sort must and always does have its beginning in the roots and not in the branches and there can be x>o real prosperity that does not start with producers.

G. A. OTTOMEYER The Ladies9 Store

OF NEW ULM Have you seen our large line of Ladies' Goats, Dresses, Skirts, Kimonos, Waits, etc?

We also show a very fine line of Misses and Childreja Coats and Dresses; we are certainly showing this fall the very latest styles as we have taken particular pains in getting only the very latest.

We keep the Munsing Wear. Maybe you don't know from ex­perience, but there is a vast differ­ence between Munsing Union Suits and those of ordinary quality:— difference in the looks, the comfort, the wear, the fit anj the price,— all in favor of Munsing wear. Its tine quality would justify a higher pr'ce, but its popularity is due to reasonableness of price combined with maintenance of fine quality.

Munsing Union Suits come in a large variety of light, medium and heavy weight fabrics in every required style and size, for Women and Children. Get it.

We carry the ' Iron Clad Hosiery", this is also a well known brand for its durability and fine make. In this line of hosiery you may find anything you desire for Ladiefe or Children from 15c up, in cotton, fleece or wool. Try a pair of our 25c quality and you will see that you could not get auy better hosiery or as fine a fit.

We keep a big line of Blankets, Outing Flannel and all other articles that belong to a first-class dry-goods-store.
