GLENCOE, Mimi, June 19.-Rev. Mr..
Nash, of Fargo, delivered a very interest
ing lecture before the Glencoe Demo-
cratic Tariff Reform club last night, to
an appreciative and intelligent audi
ence. The ladies came out to hear Mr..
Nash. This is the first time that the
ladies have graced the meetings,
and they went away well pleased
with the lecture. Mr.. Nashs
subject was ''DoeS Protection Protect?"
The question was very ably handled
and he proved conclusively that protec-
ton does not protect by any means. He
spoke about an hour and twenty min
utes. The Glencoe club has glee club
of which they may well be proud. Six
teen voices were present last night
They sang the tariff reform song and
several other selections. The Glencoe

A HARD NUT
For Certain Changers of Dakota
to Crack.

Special TO the Globe.
FARGO, OAK, June 19.-Last fall the
Farmers alliance of North Dakota
placed contracts with Eastern manu-
facturers for supply of Irvine for this
years harvest at figures considerably
below those which tWine was to be had
last year, and sub-contracted the same
to farmers, members of the alliance.
1t now transpires inasmuch as the
Southern crops will be nearly if not
quite failure, there will be large
surplus of Irvine shipped to the North
west, and machine men state they will
be enabled to quote twines at figures
way below those obtained by the al
lance contracts. The question now
arises will the farmers belonging to the
alliance stand by the contract made by
the officials, thus paying from % to 40 per
cent more for Irvine than their neigh
bors who do not belong thereto.
