than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plcation excels IN any other branch of his pro-

condemned the victims OF folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die uncared

I'M. Spears, our candidate for sheriff
was born in Huron county, Ohio,
September, 1st, 1886. When ten years
OF age his parents moved to Michigan,
where he lived until 1855 when he be-
came one Of lowa's pioneers. In 1862
he enlisted in the army and for over
three years was with the Army Of the
Potomac, at the front doing noble duty
as a soldier and a citizen. During
these terrible times, heat, cold and
exposure resulted in disabilities which
untitled him tor manual labor and
really entitle him to q pension, as
shown by physicians atidavits, al
though ho has never drawn CEN:
His army record shows that he was
always ready for duty at the front
and gives no hospital record" Can
you vote for better man? We ali
know his Jerauld county record. and Ii
is a very noticeable fact that OF all the
candidates who have ever run fol
office in our countyShe is one of tht
few whose former record is SO spotless
as. to be passed owe: in silence bs
opponents. Retain our present sherlt
by all means.

There is a certain class of men in
this country who have amassed
fabulous fortunes by "cornering"
the necessities of life, such as sugar,
salt, lumber, and grain These
men depend solely on this business
for a livelihood, and have no other
avocation. These men are CON
sidered, and justly so. enemies of
the Iaboring man. Their business
is detrimental to his interests, fact
which he has long since recognized.
But stop-these men now cry
loudly for protection, and they are in
favor of the Republican platform in
tot0, and this fact alone should be
sufficient to cause the laborer to
look on them with suspicion.
These men are monopelists, they be-
iieve in taking, from the poor and
giving to the rich, in buying up
and Withholding bread aud meat
from the poor people until prices
become exorbitant and hunger and
famine cry cut for food at any
price. These are the men who
favor protection and the Republi
can platform. Will you be deceiv
ed longer? Awake to a knowledge
of the truth!-Ne,c DomiRion.

WHERE YOU FIND THEM.
Some Of the ReaRlfes of tie
PreseIlI T.arin

Present Tariff
Some wholesome truths were
enumerated at barbecue, in New
York, by Prof. Turpey. He said.
.t.Where do you find all the monopo-
lists, all the men who have made
their millions by knocking the shin
giles off of law and mornlity2 In the
Republican party, with hardly an
exception. Yet that party unblush-
ingly procIaims itself the friend and
champion of American labor. His
tory affords no parallel for so CO.
lossal mockery and false pretense
since Mormon Henry VIII, of
England debauched his kingdom
and proudly styled binself .sDefen-
der of the Faith" How many
tramps and panics and great strikes
did we have in the country before
the Republican party dominated
our finances and our commercial
growth? Iflabor is SO excellently
protected under the system which
produces Goulds, Stanfords, Hun
tingtons and Carnegies, why do we
see labor everywhere organized and
struggling against these millionaire
Republican bosses? To use vuI-
gar expression, just chew upon that
conundrum and try to solve it.
"That sort of rubbish and deceit
will not go down with intelligent
men. Let me quote some of the beau
ties of the present tariff which the
Republicans say itwould besacrilege
to touch. Do you know that there
is one tariff for the rich and another
for the poor2
'Tlat altar of roses comes in free,

while linseed oil pays 60 per cent?
"That diamonds are assessed at 10

E.That the finest still wines in bot

That silk stockings pays a duty

sessed at 73 per cent?
"That spices enter free, while the
duty on salt is 50 per cent?
eThat of the s212, 100000 of Gus

Some one very pertinently sug-
gested that before Mr. Perry Simp-
son, of Point Pleasant, kicks against
Democratic nominees, he should at
least be known in Democratic har-
ness-PutRdm Democrat.
Where does the editor get his
authority to read Mr.. Simpson out of
the Democratic party? He is not
.kicking" against any Democratic
nominee that we know of Mr..
Simpson was Democrat before the
editor of the Democrat wore pants;
and to-day is a better and truer
Democrat than is editor Vickers.
If the Democrats of Putnam are
wise they will make this foolish
editor of their paper, stop his dirty
and unjustifable attacks upon Dem
ocrats, or we fear it will result in in
jury to the Democracy of Putnam
He seems to be bound body and
soul to a gang, who use him as their
tool to vent their spleen at Demo
Gratis. We now turn him over to
Mr. Simpson, who is fully able to
defend himself, and no doubt he
will do it in a way, with his pen
and tongue, that will make Yickers
wish he had never been born.

The high tariff press is compelled
to record the fact that the wool
market has not been so firm for
many months Because the Mills
bill passed and the industries of our
country are "threatened with lower
taxation the price of all clips is adj
vancing and orders are not easily
placed. If American manufacturers
can buy untaxed wool they can buy
more it If tile foreign wool with
which they mix the American fleeces
can be obtained without tax, there
will be more foreign wool bought
and more American fleece mixed.
Clothing all the while will be cheap
er to the extent of tax not needed
in the Treasury.

The Ring Of True Metal.

In deciding to support the Demo-
cratic ticket and the Democratic
cause this year the California Dem
oirott, the leading German newspa-
per of the Pacific slope, says that it
does so because il cannot approve
the Chicago Republican platform
a platform which it regards as hos
tile to the Republican platform of
1884 1t has hitherto been a Re
publican paper, but it thinks that
the party has turned it's back on its
pledges, and the Demohrat refuses
to follow it. President Cleveland,
it says, has redeemed the pledges of
his party by leading it into the
fight for tariff revision, and it APP
plauds him for his work. Speaking
of the Mills bill, the DemoLrat says:
''The Mills bill insures to Cali
fornia a yearly gain of 5000, 600 to
SlO,O00,U00; to this amount with the
cost price of the goods yearly inn
ported by Us be reduced. And this
Injuries not single interest in any
degree to excite concern. 1t gives
US free wool. That is to say. it
enables us to compete with England
and other nations, which is now out
OF the question. When the duty on
raw material, now amounting to
moro than go per cent, shall fall,
then only will the wooden industry
take genuine mounting upward,
and our sheep raisers will not suffer,
but their industry will become more
active. At any rate, the fall of
protective duty on wool will
insure to the masses cheaper cloth
ing. Even if the comparatively
small number of sheep raisers should
suffer loss under the Mills bill.
which as we before remarked will
not be the case, is it not IL good and
just policy to take into account in
the first line the greatest good of
the greatest NUMBER"
These utterances have the ring of
true metal.

With the exception of'the Chicago
Tribune, the Republican journals
have very generally if not wholly
ignored the Startling fact that our
diminishing manufactured products
because of high taxes upon raw
materials have finally closed the
fiscal year with debt to Europe of
SIS, 600. 900, even under the highest
taxes ever known in peace; but the
business men and the unemployed
and overtaxed labor of the country
will note and understand it. 1t
means that foreign mills and labor
are supplying our home markets
with goods which home mills and
labor should, and that we are taxing
consumers extortionately, avOwedly
for the protection of labor, and then
compelling our labor to wear for
eign goods. Free raw materials for
our manufacturers would at once
revive our industries and change
the balance of trade in our favor,
and free raw materials will come
whenever labor decides to think
and vote for labor.
