Medicinal Products Of Louis.
lima.

1R0S1s
Not one Of the eloquent speakers
at the late immigration meeting
spoke Of the medicinal products Of
our soil. The reason is plain
they know nothing about them.
These products are unknown to
most Of our people. Some years
ago a Frenchman actually loaded a
vessel here with these medicinal
productions of the swamps of Louis
lana and took them to France. The
fact was unknown at the time, and
a knowledge Of it came to us through
a gentleman who personally knew
the circumstances Of the case. These
productions consisted Of herbs, plants,
roots, barks, etc. No doubt we
have been buying the medicines
made from them and the money
thus paid out has gone to France.
A distinguished citizen of New Or.
leans, lately deceased, told US that.
he personally knew several of these
medicinal products of our swamps,
and knew them to be extremely
valuable. The prodtcts Of Louisiana
are not even yet adequately ap
preciated. But they are coming TO
the front.-Algiers Press. j

REPUBLICAN TICKET.

THE republican convention now in
session at Watertown is the largest
political gathering ever held in the
territory. nearly ave hundred dele
gates seing present in person. Cen
trail Dakota organized Wednesday
morning and captured the prelimin-
ary organization after the hardest
and closest battle known in territorial
politics. AT the present writing il is
impossible to predict with accuracy
who the nominee will be, but it can
safely be said that no one can be nom
mated without the consent of Central
Dakota, which stands solid except
Edmunds, Mcpherson, Potter and
Walworih counties, who want to be
with the "band-wagon" and think the
vehicle is being driven by Mr.. Clifford.
That gentleman has more delegates
than any other candidate before the
convention, but, as we said before, he
eannotsbe nominated without the con-
sent OF that portion of Central Dakota
that has displayed sufficient back
bone to assert its individuality.

consumers wentfortransportation and
profits of middlemen.
The manufacture of plate glass
was established in 1906, when the
foreign-made article sold for Sc. 50
per square foot. The tariff on a
similar quality of glass is now 50
cents per foot, and the price has
steadily lowered until it is now rs
cents per square foot.
Pig iron, in 1860. sold for Sz2.7s
per ton. With tariff Of $6.7s pei
ton, it now sells for Sis.
Steel rails were first made here in
1867, when the price was 800 per
tor, The tariff has been as high
as $2S per ton, and is now $I7,
Steel rails are now quoted at $3T,
and have sometimes been lower.
A favorite plea of free traders is
that with wool and woolens on the
free list 'the poor mans blankets
would be sold for one-hah its pres.
ent price when the fact is prices
for blankets of equal quality are
about the same in the United States
and England Here is the proof.
Last year the secretary Of war in
vited bids for supplying army
blankets at four pounds weight, and
allowed foreigners to complete on
the same terms as American manu-
faclurers, that is, without paying the
tariff. The lowest British bid was
only thirty cents per blanket less than
that of an American. The tariff, II
il had been charged, would be
about $I.sy. Our free trade cabi-
nent officers gave the contract to
the foreigner who pays no taxes
and buys nothing in this country,
instead of faYoring the American,
who supplies work to hundreds Of
people and otherwise adds to the
wealth of our country. The money
from our national treasury went TO
foreign country, and American
soldiers are to sleep under British
blankets, because they can be made
in England for thirty cents less than
in this couniTy.
Ard there is'scme testimony from
the other side: Matthew Arnold,
the eminent English scholar, states
man and free trade advocate,
recently deceased, last year made a
tour 10 this roHntry, and afterwards
gave his conclusion in the Nine-
teenth Century Magazine, (April,
1889 la this paper the writer adj
mits that conditions in the United
States are favorable to "that i'm
mense class of people" whose in

he says, ''the humber kind Of work
is better paid in America than with
us, the higher kind worse. Luxur-

above all, European luxuries; but a

cheap as in England, and plain TODD
is on the whole cheaper.
