At the Idea OF Outside Appeals for
Aid for the New state.


Aid for the New state.
The idea of North Dakota begging the
outside world for assistance to help a
few unfortunate farmers who lost their
crops. The great elevators at Duluth,
| the magnificent harbor that receives the
| greatest of Americas commerce., the
| great mills at Minneapolis, all built
upon the basis of DakOta's great wheat
| fields behind them: Sl0,000,00O for
the elevators and railroads for handling
| and carrying the crop after the farmer
has dug it out of the ground. and the
| farmer freezing and starving, and hav-
| ing to go to the outside world for charity
great God, what is this? The truth is
| too plain TO be denied. 1t is
but the rafting OF the hoOfs OF the
| pale horse of protection the policy that
would force miners to starve on wages
! less than the bonus the coal baron got
for protection on his coal; would force
the man who raised the wheat to beg
for bread; the policy that would see a
woman die of starvation, holding a
nursing bate at her breast. while the
| man her husband worked for was roll
ing in luxury. worth millions, under
protection, would stand still when there
were not box cars enough to carry the
wheat out of the country, when quar-
ter of a pound out of each bushel would
relieve all want, and wait for outside
charity to care for his people. Will the
people of North Dakota stand it, or will
they help themselves by putting the
bonus they now willingly pay the man
ufacturer in their own pockets to sup
port and care for themselves and faml-
lies?
North Dakota is about to select two
UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.
Are the farmers going TO send two men
to Washington to help rivet the fetters
tighter on them and refuse never to
take them off. but to still bind them in
slavery to serve the god of protection?
North Dakota, an agricultural state.

disgrace at the last election went Re-

the time she Is in the Union. the out
SIDE world is sending to some of her
people food and clothing, while there
are fifty Republican aspirants schemng
to get in the United States senate on
policy of protection, and not tne is
heard or looking after the interests OF
the people at home. Can one say this is
not true? You robbers and miserable
devils! Any man who talks protection
