How They Stand.
WASHINGTON, O,t. 16.-Governor Chur h
of Dskota, in his annual report, says
there has been a gain in the population
of the territory during the year o. - $40
in q total popu alton of 640,S2S. II e
quantity of land recently fled on anu
purchased for settlement during the yeer
was two and q half million acres. There
Is an awakened interest In all that per
tains to education; an increased
number of pupils in the higher a, d
special schools with marked tendency
toward some general system of schoo
for the territory. The report recon
mends that congress authorize the rental
of school lauds for the benefit of the
school fund. The governor incloses the
report of f. K. Carpenter, of the school
of mines, which stated that the mining
industry of the Black Hills Is taking on
new life. As the discovery of tin in
the Biach Hills, the governor remarks
that there Is not today producing tin
mine nor pound of Dakota tin IN the
markets. The governor recommends the
pass age by congress of a law enabling
him to veto items of appropriation in a
bill and approving suoh as are unob-
jectionsble. He also suggests
that authority be given TO him
to convene the leA islature in special ses-
sion when the interests of the territory
seem to demand it. The governor le
news his recommendation that the law
preventing aliens from acquiring ex-
tensive tracts of lani, be amend
ed so that capitalists or money cor
porations can loan money in the
territory on the land in case they be
come owners to be allowed certain
tin e in which to dispose of it. Ia con-
ciusion he ARK es that Dakota be admit
ted into the Union.

WhattParty!
The Oldest Fox Comes to the
Halter at Last.
The Biggest Political Joke of
the Season.

The insincerity of the republi-
can position upon the tariff in
this campaign was shown in a
very amusing manner at pub
lie meeting in Buffalo last week.
There was a joint debate in
that city for which 4,SO0 tickets
were issued; the democrats re-
ceiving 3 400, and the republicans
2,40O. A rope was stretched
down the center of the hall, all
the democrats being seated on
one side of the hall and all the
republicans on the other. The
democratic speaker of the eve
ming, Mr.. w. T. Mackey, was the
first to address the meeting. He
had spoken but a short time
when he said:
"The President, in his message
to Congress, said:
"' The present tariff system is il many
respects unjust. 1t makes unequal dis
tributiors, both of its burdens and its
benefits. l recommend an enlargement
of the free list so as to include within it
the numerous articles which yield incon-
siderable revenue, simpliication of the
complex and Inconsistent schedule of
duties upon certain manufactures. par
ticularly those Of cotton, iron and steel,
and a substantial reduction of the duties
upon those articles, and upon sugar, mo-
lasses, silk, WOOL aud WOODEN goods"
Turning to the democratic side
of the hall, he said: " ! ask every
democrat present who believes
that that is a statement of sound
principle, and that it correctly
represents the true issue in this
campaign, to raise his hand.
Every hand on the democratic
side was instantly raised. Then,
turning to the republican side,
he said; Il ask every republican
who believes that this is a cor
rect statement Of true principle
regarding the tariff question, to
raise his hand" A few hands
went up, but in a hesitating
manner, when, seeing that the
great mass of the republican
hearers were not in the move
ment, they were hastily drawn
down, until hardly a hand was
to be seen upon the republican
side. There was perfect 81
lence, when, after pausing for a
moment, the speaker, advancing
to the republican side of the
platform, said: cob, | forgot to
say that it was President Arthur
who said that in his message to
Congress-"
The effect of this statement
upon that audience can be more
easily imagined than described

Tariff Questions of Democrat Which Re
pubIicans Couldn't Answer.

Tariff Questions of Democrat Which a Re
publicans Couldn't Answer.
BUFFALo-The questions which Mr..
William F. Mackey, democrat, asked Con
gressman Weber, war-tax republican, in
their Joint debate the other day are the
talk of the city, and are being circulated.
Congressman Weber left them unanswer-
ed, and no repu5linan monopolist, who
gets practically the sole benefit of the
tariff laws, has yet attempted to answer
the m. They are as follows:
l. Why, when the republican tariff
com mission recomme nded a reduction of
20 per cent, does the republican party
nov oppose a reduction of per cent?
2. Why do workingmen earn higher
wages in unprotected than in protected
industries? And I urge here that they
do, as l have exemplifisd as regards the
wage earners in the wooden industry, and
L might also add the carpenter.
3. WHAT good Is a tariff to working
men. when American factories pay only
81 so wages for piece of Ingram carpet
on which the duty would be S2l?
4. Why have wages advanced more
rapidly in recent years in EnglaId than
IN Massachusetts,:
5. Why is 1t that in EngIaud labor gets
Sc per cent. of the value of the finished
goods and in this country only Is per
c-nt.?
6. Why, if there is only SC worth Of
labor in q ton OF steet rails, do We req 1ire
S17 of pro- ectIon?
Z. The protection on ION OF pig iron
is 50. The entire lator cost entire labor
cos5 entering into it is only 81 25. Wov,
If the protection is for the benefit of tbs
Isoorer, don't t1ey pay him the otn.r
s475?
s. Why was il necessary for M.
Carnegie, while making a profit of IS 600
day ous of the labor of his workmen, 70
cut their wages down Is cents day each!
9. Why, sE the end of twenty-eight
years of protection, are 80 600 American
Eorkmen. willing 30 work, out of en-
Ploymeus?
10. Why are wages over one-third high
er in free trade England than in mig b.
protected Germany?
IL. Why do three-four.hs OF the immi-
grants TO this country come from the hig
protection countries of Europes
II. Do you lieye with Mr.. B sine trat
"trusta are largely private affairs, with
which neither President Cleveland nor
any private citIzEn has any particular
right to interfere;" or do you believe with
Mr.. Poxderiy that ''they s-e menace TO
the welfare OF the whole people, and that
the arm of the government should reach
out and protec. the people from them"
I3. Why is it that ChIna, with her 3s2,-
100000 of inhabitants, and the most per
fec. protective system in the world. and
wages only 81 cents day, is no. flood
ing the rori ~ with the products of her
