A FEW SEED THOUGHTS.

Reflections Concerning North Dakota.
Bear in mind the few following
facts:
That Dakota has an area of 10000
square miles; that it stretches north
and south, from the British posses
sions to Nebraska, $50 miles, and east
and west firm Minnesota to Montana.
$50 miles.
That North Dakota has an area Of
$4,000 square miles; that it is as large
rs all of the New England states with
the state of New Jersey thrown in;
that it has a population of l75,oOO
wide awake, energetic and intelli-
gent people.
Bear in mind that it has 1900 t.,
1900 miles of railroad already con-
structed.
Bear i'll mind that in North Dakota
there are many daily newspapers, and
countless number of weeklies.
Bear in mind that several flourish
ing towns have been started in the
past year.
Bear in mind that the climate of
Dakota is the healthiest in Christen.
dom.
Bear in mind that the soil of North
Dakota is inexhaustible in riches.
Bear in mind that IS per cent of
North Dakota is susceptible of the
highest cultivation.
Bear in mind that cattle raising
has been prosecuted successfully here
in the past year.
Bear in mind that North Dakota is
not a zone crop domain. but pota.
toes and all kinds of roots thrive in i.
remarkable degree.
Bear in mind that No. hard wheat
is the finest in the world and finds !,
market at our very doors.
Bear in mind that flour made from
this wheat commands the highest
price in the market.
Bear in mind that North Dakota
has a good name and is justly enyied
by older states.
Bear in mind that it has reputa.
tion to sustain, and that it devolves
upon individuals to do their utmost
to that end.
Bear in mind that the educational
fund of North Dakota is simply i'm.

Notice to Stockmen.

Stock brands will be inserted in the
PRESS for one year for the small sum
of $l2, exclusive of the cost of the
cut. This is dirt cheap and any
stockman, whether his herd is large
or small, can afford the investment.
If it saves only one stray, saying
nothing of range protection, it will
pay over three years advertising.

There is no intention of arguing here
the question of protection. The writer
is in favor of protection on wool and
on WoOlens, and has no confidence i'll
any plan that proposes to benefit WOOL
ems at the expense of wool, or vice YER
sa; nor any sympathy with efforts to
put them in apparently antagonistic
positions. But i'll this writing the in
quiry is merely as to the effect of the
legislation now proposed upon the eX-
isting state of affairs. Whatever may
be the fate of the bill now before the
House of Representatives, it is quite
worth while for us to examine ii care
fully.
The body of the bill proposes plan
for general reduction of duties by un-
form cut which, however often it is
changed up or down by the author, is
declared presistently to be "horizontal. J"
A double-headed "proviso" is added,
however, which invalidates absolutely
all claim to horizontal change, exposes
the doubt or ignorance in the mind of
the farmer as TO the resulting duties,
and, while, seeming to erect safeguards
against unexpected results, aims, with
one little phrase, a reckless blow that
could only have cNme from thought
lessness or from vicious intent. The
first clause of the proyiso, ono article
in Schedule X shall pay higher rate
of duty than 60 per cent" virtually as
serts that discrimination in imposing
customs duties is impractical, and that
a raw material may properly pay the
same rate.as the goods made from it,
The second clause of this proviso is,
''nothing in this act shall operate to re-
duce the duty on any article below the
rate at which said article was dutiable
under act of March >, 1861" (the Nor
rill taritl). Passing the ridiculous con-
fusion in the use OF the words "duty"
and crate" it may be said, that this
clause was probably inserted from a
fear that the "horizontal" line might
sag and touch bottom in unpleasant
places.
These results of this effort to steer a
straight course through channel hav-
ing irregular boundaries that are not
parallel, are always curious, often alb
surd and an Investigation of these de-
velops sounds reasons for the asser.
tions above made as to the nature and
intent of the bill. In applying the re-
duction proposed, it is necessary to
find what would be the rate OF duty
under the bill, and also how the duty
thus levied may be further reduced,
or raised, by the limits provided: that
is, first, to apply the language of the
bill, then the maximum Coo per cent?
limit, and the minimum morrill, act
limit. Let this be done with some OF
the important paragraphs making up
Schedule X.

The result with wool is as follows in

In class 2, washed wool pays the
same duty as unwashed; in class l, il
pays double duty; and in both classes,
secured wool pays treble duty.

of the clause in the Morrill, act levying
duty OF 9 cents a pound on woods val
