The CRY Goes Up From Dickinson to Dundee That
the Party Of Monopoly Must
Bite the Dust.
Evidence From Every Corner of the State Pointing
to the Triumphant Election of Ben
ton to Congress.
Eloquent Addresses by Men Who Seek to Give the
Farmer an Equal Chance With the
Manufacturer.

FARGO, n. d.. Oct. 17.-From all
along the political line come the most
cheering reports. The farmers are
through their urgent work and have
now time to stop and think what their
interests are in the coming contest for
congressman and state officers. They
know that the Eastern manufacturers
are becoming wealthy under the old
tariff, and that the Mckinley bill adds
still more to the sums annually put
away by these people. They further
more know that they are receiv-
ing no more for the products
from the farm-that neither wheat.
cattle or hogs are bringing
any more funds into their pockets.
Furthermore, they know that every dol
lars worth of goods they purchase to
clOthe themselves and families is cost
Ing 20 and % per cent more than last
fall. The query Immediately rises,
why is this? There is bnt one answer.
There can be but one. 1t is the robbery
of tme Mckinley bill, an outrage perpe-
trated by the Republican party upon
every farmer in the West and North
west. And while the farmer suffers the
laboring man is in want: the farmer
cannot afford to pay high wages and
protect himself and family from want.
His expenses are increased, while there
is no increase in the products
he raises for market. 1t is said by some
of the
Republican Freebooters
that large revenue is required for the
expenses Of the government, for the
payment of pensions, shipbuilding and
salaries; also, that internal improve
mentS must be COMPLETED, our rivers
kept navigable, public buildings erected
for the use of United States officials and
employees. Now mark it down for fut-
ure reference: The farmer has been
hearing these stories for years, and
knows that, beyond doubt, one-half
of all the taxes paid into the
United States treasury, from all
sources, are squandered for high
salaries and needless expenditures
which are OF no possible benefit to HIM
Or his family. He's willing to pay a
pension to the deserving soldier, ready
to improve our rivers and harborS and
put them in proper condition for COM
merce. At the same time he would
like to see the sums necessary to eX-
pend used in an economical manner.
instead of being stolen by the Rppubli-
can parasites who surround every ap-
preparation as thick as flies over mo-
lasses jug. He would like to know why
1t costs Sl,000,000 for a job that he can
do for half the money and make
good round percentage. He would
Ike 10 KNOW why government officials
are any better than he is; why
they would receive $40 for what he
would gladly receive s.. In other
WordS.he would like to know where the
money goes; who it is feathers his nest
and lives in luxury from the stealings
that he has to pay. 1t may be called
simple and ridiculed by the clustering
thieves. but let me tell you the farmers
are going to know where this money
goes or they will stop paying. They
know they pay the bills, and pay them
upon false promises. a false and living
phllosophy-th fool heritage of the old
Wing party-the once bright and power
full party of the land, buried beneath
the storm of indignant yeomen, who
were being robbed by
The Hydra-Headed Monster.
Protection, another name for highway
robbery-the rich stealing from the
poor, the laborer naught but a slave.
working day by day, for what? why,
SIMPLY to exc out living upon starva-

what OF tomorrow? what fools we
mOrtals be-" to rest IN peace, vote the
monopolist ticket and then complain
because goods are so high and the pro
ducts ofsthe farms so low. This condi-

this state. Col. John d. Benton. candi

with hundreds of others, are doing 6
noble work. Many of our farmers are

the party which has always, and is to
day the champion of the greatest THEY
Ing gang of the world. At the head OF
tne Democratic central committee Is
that eyer faithful laborer for his party
and the oppressed everywhere. Capt
Dan Maratta. His heart is in the work
and every business hour is spent in
efforts to further the cause he so ably
represents. Converts are coming oveI
at every meeting held and they bring
with them still more to swell the ranks
OF honest yenmen, who have the sense
to know and understand what theil
interests are and what the labor
ing people, the agriculturist. the
mechanic require to make them pros
porous and happy. 1t has been said
God helps those who help themselves. ;
Nothlhg was ever more true, and the
people or North Dakota fully realize If
and as the first and most imnOrtan
move they propose to put Col. John d
Benton in congress and w. n. Roacl

not stop at that. but will work earnestl,
and faithfully TO elect to every offic,
honest and upright men, men of inteili

representatives of any race, color O
persuasion; whose only aim is powe
and pelf. ~
