Crops in the Dakotas Look Better
Than For the Last Two Years.
HURON, S. D., Special Telegram,
Hon. B. F. Ives of st. Lawrence was here
to-day returning from tour of inspection
of the wheat district of North Dakota He
says that from Bottineau, on the Manitoba
road, down through the Devils Lake region
and in the vicinity of Grand Forks
rains have prevailed and wheat looks
fine and prospects are encouraging as com.
pared with the same date last year. From
fifty miles above Fargo down to the South
Dakota line the outlook is less encouraging
than in some of the districts further north
and northwest. In the Red river valley
farmers have no reason to be discour-
aged. The season is somewhat back
ward, but early sown grain is in good
condition. That sown with press drills is
far ahead OF that sown in any other way.
The acreage is less than last year., The
present prospects, Mr.. Ives says, are better
in the localities visited than at the same
time in the past three years, notwithstand-
ing much OF the Late sown grain has not
vet sprouted. Mr.. Ives will report to the
st. Paul and Minneapolis boards Of trade.

Therefore the highest duty that could be
levied was pre-engaged by the public funds
already. At the most. the bill would pro-
Der OF public houses without correspond
ing reduction OF the actual traffic. The
measure was so framed that it would para

the existing law and throw back the tenn

bill passed its second reading.

BosToN, MASS, March 21. 1890.

Boston, MASS, March 21, 1890.
TO Hon. Elijah n. Moore, House of Rep
resentatiUeS, Washington, ID. c.:
Dear Sir:-You are reported as OPP
posing the levying of tax upon i'm
ported hides; you have said that the
duty, if imposed. would work injury
to your constituents in BrocktoD.
| am not one of your constituents,
but have had my factory in Brockton
tor good many years, and ] have paid
taxes there ever since 1878. OH the
strength of this, acting for myself alone,
/ write to ask you not to oppose the
duty on hides.
NV reasons for making this request
are the following:
a. Because wool is the keystone of
your protection arch, and if we can
knock that ont your whole fiimsy struc-
ture tumbles down.
e. Because" consistency is q Jewell"
and if yOu protectionists wish TO be
consistent you ought to put dnty on
hides SO long as you keep duty on
wool.
(3.) Because the people of this coun-
try do not yet fully appreciate the fact
that O duty ON wool Is al oppressive
burden upon them all, and this fact
will be appreciated when it is taught
by proper Object-lesson. Such an
obiect-lesson will be furnished by a
duty on hides; this duty, if imposed,
will demoralize the whole shoe and
leather industry for about six months,
and thus expose IN its nakedness the
mischief working scheme which your
party chooses to call "protection for
American labor"
(4.) Because the thing which you
call protection has been and is nothing
more nor less than government pud-
ding. The pudding. swarm to
Washington, each one trying to see
how much he can get. The pudding
distributors are vainly trying TO satisfy
the seekers. The impossibility of har-
monizing conflicting interests will make
il impossible for you 10 continue the
distribution OF favors 10 those who
come to Washington falsely claiming
TO represent the people.
g. Because | have been taught by
practical business experience to believe
that our country cannot attain slbo
highest possible industrial prospcrity

(6.) Because believe in a tariff for
revenue only, while you believe in
tariff for politics only, and because |
would like 10 see you and your pro-
tectionist friends commit political sui.
eide by an act Of supreme folly.
a. Because it is beautiful to see the
advocates OF q tariff for politics only
tying themselves up in knot, aud be-
cause the tighter You tie the knot the
better it is for the interests of the
people.
(S.) Because you protectionisss have
it in your power to make the hide an
instrument for the salvation OF our
industries. If You put duty upon it,
We shall struggle and suffer for few
months, and after that American in
dustries and American labor will be
able to entirely throw off the burden
of all oppressive tariff taxatioa, and
will enjoy the prosperity which your
party now denies them. remain, dear
sir, respectfully yours,

OLD VIRGINIA.;

LEXINGTON, VA, Apr. 10, 1890.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER Vir-
Sinia is waking up. With all the cul-
ture and moral worth of the dear old
mother of states. it is indisDutable that
she has, in material development, lag
ged far behind. The county of IL ck
bridge, in which the Washington and
Lee University has been diffusiDg light
Tor more than century, is not equal
to the county Of Lafayette in industrial
advancement.
But new era has dawned. IL seems
to be almost craze. In this part of
Virginia. bOoms have been IDaugurated
at WaynesborO, Buena Vista, Glasgow,
Clifton Forge, COvington, Salem and
Roanoke. The basis OF these enter.
priscs is chiefly the deposits of iron in
the mountains
Buena Vista and Glasgow are in this
county, and the other places mentioned
above are in adjoining counties. A
year ago, Buena Vista was a railroad
station with about fifty inhabitants.
1t now has a population of one thou

tries, with capital of over two mil.
lions of dollars, have been organized
and located there. Lots are selling al
the business center for as much as sixty
dollars front foot. Adjoining farms,
that could not have been sold at any
price twelve months since, have been
bought by companies at prices running

and northern capital is as largely re-
presented in them. II is argued that
the supply OF iron is abundant; that it
is of good quality, averaging over fifty
per cent. of pure metal; that ample
coal is found within easy distances;
that limestone, manganese and service
able woods are here; that the North
River furnishes ample power to dis
pense with steam; that three of The
trunk railroads of the country already
furnish the needed transportation that
labor here is both abundant and cheap;
that the climate is mild and healthy
that we are much nearer the business
center of the country than eastern
Tennessee or northern Alabama; and
that this country is as capable of sup
porting dense population as the
manufacturing districts of the north.
Nous re7rOns.
1t is interesting to note that the young
men, who have left this section for the
west, are coming back and going to
these new places for business. 1t is
hoped that these expectations will be
realized, for Virginia greatly needs
new blood and new capital to save her
from serious financial trouble. Other
wise Onr immense debt, our impover-
ished lands, and our thriftless white
trash and negro population make the
present and the future quite gloomy.

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.
From the Chicago Herald.l

euO SoiSoko hchetbst
It's the practice of many republican
organs to tell the truth about the mo-
nopoly tariff when no elec ton is pend
ing, but during campaign, when the
Quays, the Dudleys and the other pro-
tectionist vote buyers are ont for the
offices, they eat their words and indorse
every tax infamy that their party may
advance. The Herald has proved all
this before, but here are a few extracts
from the editorial bag of the Chicago
Tribune, the leading republican news
paper in the west, of Thursday, March
20, 1890.
Tariff duties are taxes.
Higher duties will increase the bur-
den put upon the millions.
The high duty 10 protecting the wool
grower and robbing the people.
The increased duties on wool and
wooden goods as provided in McKin-
ley's bill will work hardship to all
classes,
The wrong headed idea of reforming
the tariff by pushing up and increasing
taxes so as to make them as oppressive
to one class as to another instead of re-
ducing them must be abandoned.
The people are all users of leather
from the infant to the oldest men and
women and will hardly welcome Iegis-
lation adopted for the express purpose
of making them pay more for boots and
shoes.
So long as the burdens OF war tariff
remain and are adjusted so as to bear
'unequally on different classes tins ques-
ton will continue In politics and viii
be a thorn in the flesh of the party
responsible for it.
The heavy increase of the duty on
tin plate may serve to develop more
Carnegie millionaires at Pittsburg, but
1t must be at the cost of increasing the
expense OF every man who buys tin
bucket.
In these extracts will be found an
admission OF all that the Herald or the
democratic party has ever held as to
the monopoly tariff. 1t is device for
the enrichment of the few at the ex-
pense of the many. 1t Is maintained
| by the corrupt republican bosses. Re.
publican "revision and reduction" of
the tariff are always in the interest of
monopoly. What more is 10 be saidf

The man who bought the New York

Wanamsker's money, and furnished
Dudley with the wherewithal TO mar

During his absence the New York
World has brought against him the
most terrible indictment ever preferred
against any public man in this conn
try. The charges embrace the whole
sale purchase of votes, the frequent
sale OF his own vote and influence,
treachery to his friends and party,
bebauchery, the use Of official power
for the basest purposes, and the actual
robbery OF the state of Pennsylvania.
Ii is no general arraignment. The
