BANK OF HOT SPRINGS.

Major II. z. Eaton has rendered his
resignation as manager of S. q. Fargo
& Sons interests in this place and it
has been accepted. On or about the
LIST of July he will assume the manage
ment of an incorporated bank in Hot
Springs, in winch Messrs. Lake and
HALEY Of Rapid City, will be largely
interested and several of our leading
business men will own considerable
stock. Furniture and fixtures have
been ordered and, although it will not
be expensively or elaborately furnished
it will be neat and tasty and arranged
with All eye to comfort and conven-
icnce. The building Of w. P. Phillips,
on Chicago avenue, at present occupied
by w. w. LaFleicae, has been procured
for the purpose, and being conveniently
located in the business portion Of the
city is admirably situated for the bank
ing business. Major Eaton is eminent-
ly capable of managing the affairs Of
the concern, being bcok-keeper of
long experience and a gentleman Of
shrewd business sagacity. During his
folr years ef faithful service for s. G.
Fargo & Son he has managed the, bust.
ness of the firm with credit to himself
and to the satisfaction of his employ
ers who deeply regret the necessity Of
dispensing with lis valuable services.
A bank is an institution that has long
been needed in Hot Springs and will
be great convenience to the business
men of the place as well as a profitable
investment for the incorporators.

DEMOCRATIC Position STATED.

Representative Mills in Few Words Tell.
What He and his Party Want to do.
In letter to the editor of the Voice
the prohibition organ, the Chairman of
Ways and Means Committee thus defined
the position of his party.
have yours of Aur. 10, and would say
in reply that tariff o not make wages
high. The only effect of high ta,iff is to
obstruct trade and transfer the earnings
of labor from the laborer to the manu-
facturer. The purpose of the Demo
cratic party is to remove the duty from
raw material of manufacture as fer as it
can be doae, aud permit that material to
be worked up here by cur own laborers,
and thus make greater demand for
their employment aRd consequently
better wages.
The reduction We propose on finishing
goods is very light, and We have left on
them more duties than will cover the
entire labor cost. On chemicals We have
left an average duty of % per cent,
while the labor cost, as shown by the
census is 109 per cent. Oo earthen ard
glassware we have left 80 per cent, and
the census shows 43 per cent. is labor
cost, On metals we havs left 3S per cent
and the census shows that the labor cost
is under 20 per cent. On hemp, jute and
fax we have left % per cent, and the
labor cost is 90 per cent. On wooleps we
have left 40 per cent, and the labor cost
is under 90 per cent. On cotton goods
We have left 80 per cent, and the labor
cost is 81 per cent.
Now, if the foreign product costs moth
ing, for labor, we have left enough to
compensate our manufacturers for all
their labor. The object of the Demo
cratic pErty is to open more markets for
the sale of our products, create a great
demand for them, increase the demand
for the employment of the labor that
makes them and thereby increase the
rate of wages of those VINO produce them.
Increase of wages must follow Increase Of
markets,

Democrats and Labor Men Will Send Smith to
Congress again.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 29.-The democratic
congressional convention of the 4th dis
trict was called to order at noon by John
Hinsey. George j. Obernan WAS made
temporary chairman and P. j. Grogan

nent and the convention adjourned until
O'clock.
At 2:15 the convention reassembled.

reoiting that unnecessary taxation is IN
just taxation, and favored a reduction of
the tariff. The name of Henry Smith

1000, 900 farmers of the country have all
some interest in this susj-ct. The value
of the dairy products OF the United States
is over 100000, goo per year. If the bo-
gus butter oompesion had been allowed to
90 On unchecked by federal law this great
production would have been so reduced
that all engaged in it would have e1psr-
fenced constant loss, and il is entirely
probable that the business of manufact-
uring honest butter and cheese on large
scale would have been driven out of the
country.
TIE INFLUENCE OF HoRATIo SEYMOUR
It was natural for Cleveland to take
the side of the farmers IN this great con
test. to protect their rights and prop
erty. AS a young democrat he was the
pupil OF Horatio Seymour who was al
way looked to as the great champion of
The dairy interests of the United States
He had learned from Seymour, and from
participation in agricultural movements
within the state, all about the great dairy
business of the country; end those who
went TO him to argue against his ap-
proval of the bill found him so well iu-
formed as to the interests OF the farm
srs, and SO determined that no imposi-
uop upon them should be allowed to pre-
vail, that they considered him very pre-
judiced. It was predicted that the law
would never be enforced. But the presi-
dent vas determined that it should be
enforced, and it has been.
FEDERAL PROTECTION NECESSARY.
Some state laws have been passed to
regulate the manufacture of bogus butter,
but none of them were effective in pro
tecting the farming interests Until the
national statute went into force. Nor
could any state Law afford the needed
protection to the hardworking farmers.
The goods made in one state could be
sold in another. The dealer in bogus
butter in New York could freely handle
falsely branded Massachusetts goods
without much risk of detection Or ex-
posure. 1t WAS necessary TO stop the evil
at the fountain head, that is, at the fac
tories, and to apply the remedy uniform
ly and simultaneously all over the United
