TIRE TARIFF QUESTION.


"As the tariff question is being talked mp very FIRE
quently, and most Of US not very well posted, il
would be regarded as quite favor II you would talk
the matter up through your paper and give youl
readers hcrt history of the tariff and also
its fruits, as this s question that il not very well
understood in tho West, ar at least amcng farm
ersr
This is question upon which the farmers
need to post themselves, above all others; fol
upon no question that has ever figured in poll
tics has there been more persistent efforts to
humbug and mislead the farming community.
Free Traders for years have hammered, and ham,
mered, and hammered away to convince farmers,
and especially Western farmers, that a protec-
tive tariff was for the exclusive benefit of East
ern manufacturers, and resulted in increasing
the price Of every article he was compelled to
purchase, while protection was of no benefit to
him; and that the Eastern manufacturer grew
rich at the expense Of the Western farmer. There
is nothing more untrue. Free Trade is utterly
selfish, and appeals to the selfshness of the in
dividual, the community, and the section, as
against other individuals communities, and sec.
tions, and teaches them to grasp and gather in
all they can get, regardless of how their neigh
bors fare, instead Of seeking thrift through the
prosperity of the whole community
A tariff is duty or tax laid upon goods OF
products of foreign manufacture or growth up
on their being landed at port of the country

DoSIPHAN AND BRowS.-Wc have heard much
about the expenses of these two Counties, and
the faxes. II has been fayorite cry, that if it
not fuE the taxes. newcomers would pour
into this County; bat for tha. matter we have
had 4 right smart SpTinklins of new -eomers ints
the County, in the past few years, in spite of
this supposed drawback. From n statement re-
cehtly published by the Clerk of Brown County,
we see that the expenses for all County purposes,
during the year lss2, were over $4,000. We
find, by inquiry ut the Clerks Office, that the
total expenditures for Doniphan County, the
same year, for all County purposes, were but
s21 1,00O-nearly e. eco less than those of Brown.
This includes everything-Courts, Roads and
Bridges, Paurers etc. We find, also, that Brown
has almost 100000 of County bonds outstand-
ing. We fail to see just where Brown County
POSSESSES such an immense advantage over DON
iphan. These who are in tine habit of grumbling
about the way the business of Doniphan County
is done, wonla do well to compare il with neigh
boring Counties.

Another Failure.

r. n. Clendenin, dealer in general
merchandise at Martlnsdale, (he is also
postmaster, keeps hotel, livery stable
and blacksmith shop, and has Z band
OF sheep in the vicinity,) has been at
tached by eastern creditors to secure
the payment of $4,000. Suit was
commenced to dissolve the partnership
existing between him and eastern par.
ties, and to restrict him from disposing
OF any of his property.-Independent.
1t is probable that Mr.. Clendenin's in.
solvency is due to the Barker failures,
as he was concerned in the Clendsnin
smelter and mixed up with F. w. Reed
4 Co.. both of whom have gone down.
1t was supposed that Clendenin would
have succumbed some time ago, but
he has maintained his position until
now. This is the third large Montana
failure growing out Of the bankruptcy
Of Tillinghast & Co., of Chicago.

instalments of dollar bills to be used
for the purpose of heading off thieving

money he obtained was presented to
him. He says he did not get cent
out of Cashier Love. He thinks he

CAPITAL REMOVAL.
A Northern Opinion Upon the Subject
Grand Forks News.

Northern Opinion Upon the Subject.
Grand Forks News.
A Herald correspondent makes some
interesting suggestions in regard to the
distribution of the territorial institutions,
and cites the fact that while Grand Forks, |
in point of enterprise and progress, NAV
be considered the first city in the terri
tory, yet all the public institutions have
been given to unimportant villages in
out of-the-way places. The facts re.
cited in the correspondence are quite
timely in view of the fact that Mr.. Walsh
of Grand Forks has introduced bill in
the council for the removal of the terri
torial capital to Huron. The presence of
prominent Huronists in Yankton with
$4,000 in cash may not have had any
weight when the time CAME to insert in
the bill the name of the place to which
it is proposed to move the
territorial records; the long
public service of our councilman and the
disposition he evinces every year not to
go to Yankton on account of press of
business at home and the poor pay re.
ceived by legislators, is standing rebuke
to any man whose imagination could
picture such thing. Nor have the citi-
zens of this county any reason to claim

sert Grand Forks in the removal bill SO
long as he could use the measure to fur.
ther the private schemes of himself and
friends.
There is wholesome lesson for the
people of north Dakota in this removal
Legislation. This vast country is yet a
territory, but it aspires to become q
state. We now have sufficient popula-
tion to entitle us to voice in the upper
house OF congress, and no matter what
political party comes into power we
will not much llonger be denied admis-
sion. Hence, the time is near at hand
when that portion of Dakota north of
the 46th parallel will be state, with
a seat of government and complete
outfit of official persons and parapher-
MALTA. By the dishonest actions of the
county of Yankton in repudiating its
bonds the entire territory has been
brought into disrepute. So also by the
pranks of political mountebanks who 20
to Yankton to misrepresent their con-
stituencies, the people whose svotes put
these shyster characters into Office are
disgraced both at home and abroad.
, The element that IS now taking root in
this country must see to it that north
J Dakota begins its stdte or territorial gov.
ernment upon principals of honesty.
! The conscientious men numbered among
the early settlers have been powerless to
} prevent chicanery in Office. Their con-
victions of right have been disregarded,
and tricksters and schemers have been
in the majority, but they stand ready to
join hands with honesty in the conduct
of public affairs, and revolution in
this regard must take place. The best
Interests of north Dakota depend up.
on it.
