wonder if A. C.. Mellette and John
Miller have measured their own size
with the rest, and discovered that they
are two of the smallest men and biGae t
failures that ever diSgraced public Of
fiee-no more fit to hold the positions
they occupy than horse to occupy the
pulpit. Gentlemen, how are the suffer
ing poor OF the Dakota going to be fed?
Mind, self-cOnceit, false pride, incOm-
potency and hypocrisy will not answer
for bread; the people are through now
standing around with their mouths open
behOlding you for your greatness. and
they want something To eat. The fact that
they came here inexperienced" doesn't
alter the fact that they are now hungry.
Dakota is able to feed her poor, if you
will put it in shape by organizing the
machinery; so contributions will
reach the desired places. What
do you propose TO do? They
can't live on the fact that you
could cut the two DakOtas up into lis
states the size of Rhode Island. While
| am an Out-and-Out Democrat, L am
sorry for the poor ignorant Republican
ignoramus, who has voted to lock him
self out doors. | am sorry for the Re-
publican fool, freezing and starving on
a Dakota farm, eaten up and buried un
der bonuses. who doesn't know enough
to vote himself warm clothes and the
comforts of life. l can conceive how
the cOlOred slaves of the South, held in
bondage under the constitution of the
United States and the lash of an owner:
l can conceive how these cOlOred peO-
pie, bringing in a revenue of wealth to

bondage. But l can't conceive how any
free white men, living on farms in the
Dakotas, or any other state, should vol

to slavery, and suffer to serve a policy
that made them even worse off than the
slave of the South before the war. A
man living on a farm who voluntarily
votes to tax himself for everything he
eats, drinks and wears, is heather in
politics, and not as fit to be trusted
with the ballot as tile emancipated
slaves of the South. Think of the peo-
pie of North Dakota in their present
condition. Think of them cast down by
low prices for everything they raise.
Think of Liverpool fixing the market
price of what they raise. Think of the
amount the mills, elevators and rail-

Think of the cost of everything they
have to buy. Think of the load they
are under; so heavy that they cannot
possibly throw it off. Then think of the
intelligence and wisdom of the people
being assembled in the shape of legis-
latnre to express their will, and two
thirds of them farmers, and that two
thirds being in favor of continuing the
load on their own heads. Instead of
saying "Give us good warm coat at
cheaper price, no matter where 1t
comes FROM" they say Give us cheap
goods at high prices, and what we raise
let us put up as common plumber for
everybody. and on this principle let us
elect United States senators and gov
ernOrS, members of congress. and make
no mistake about having this principle
carried OUT" and that is what they are
doing at Bismarck to-day. Talk about
the HindOO and his religion. Talk
about the barbariSm of the HOttentOt -
the Hottentot knows enough to go
under a shade tree to get out of the
blazing sun, but the farmer who votes
the Republican ticket refuses to buy
where he
CAN GET IT CHEAPEST,
refuses to take a good thing in place of
a poor, and votes a tax upon his
own head to prevent himself from
getting cheap comforts and luXuIies.
This is the wisdom of the Republican
farmer at the close of the nineteenth
century. Here is a man, a candidate for
the United States senate, a Republican
and popular candidate, tOo-a prOtec-
ZIONIST; that is, he believes in protect
ing Eastern manufacturers at the farm
ers' expense, and to some extent. pre-
sumo, home industry too. refer to NJ.
n. johnson, of Lakota, Nelson county.
Now, Nelson county is one of the unfOr.
tunate ones. for which we are very SOrry;
but in order to help the people of that
county along and keep the pot boiling all
around, the commissioners of the county
were authorized by law to issue bonds,
or pay a revenue, for catching gophers.
