SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICS.

The alliance people of South Dakota
have presumably done a JudiciouS
thing in determining to run politics for
themselves this year. They have at
their head man of great individuality
and untiring persistence in the incul-
cation of what he deems beneficial aims
for his co-Workers. He has in the
past urged the strongest assertion of
the power of the agricultural element
in public affairs, and the present move
ment may be very considerably at
tributed to his labors. The opposition
vote in the state gathering of the
organization was SO small that it may
be assumed that the full strength of the
alliance will be brought to the work.
The voting membership of the local
alliances is probably from $4,000 to
$4,000, but that may be far below their
ballot box showing, as the influence
of the members and the objects
they set forth should add very
considerably to their vote. The
total vote of the state will no
doubt exceed $4,000 this year. Last
October the vote for governor was:
Republican, 1864; Democratic, 23,S4o.
Presenting that four-ffths of the ALI
ance vote will come from the Republic
ans, it cannot be supposed that the
Democrats would encounter any very
serious danger Of success. A remark
able revolution in politics could only
warrant suggestions of that sort. The
chances would be very decidedly in
favor of the success of the alliance.
The platform of the alliance, as set
forth, has much good material in it, and
some that would not invite cooperation
with any other party. 1t is assumed
that each of the old parties will go by
itself. Possibly the labor and some of
the prohibition vote will go with the
alliance. The temperance and tariff
questions will further reduce the Re-
publican vote. Perhaps those on the
ground can make chance for the DEM
ocrats; but the alliance men, if sent to
congress, would not at least be in the
service of fostered mOnopolieS.

THAT THYME BUSINESS.

Some time ago the GLOBE criticised
the governor for permitting himself to
be imposed upon by the commission he
had appointed to Investigate the feast
Dllity of establishing twine factory in
the state prison; yet, at the same time,
we gave his eXcellency due credit for
picking his flint and trying it again when
he discovered the imposition that had
been practiced upon him. The second
set of commissioners have returned
from their journeyings in the East, and
they make a report distinctly at vari-
ance with the report submitted by the
first set. On investigation they dis
cover that binding Irvine can be made as
readily from flax and jute. and much
cheaper than it can be made from
either MANILA or siSal. Instead of a
twine-manufacturing plant costing from
one to two millions of dollars, as repre-
scented by the former commission, they
are confident that the cost will not eX-
coed $4,000.
Naturally there is good deal of spec
ulation as to how the two sets of COM
missioners could get so far apart in
their estimates. Somebody has been
fooled, and awfully fooled, in this mat
ter; and the wonder is that Gov. MER-
RAM, with his shrewd business ideas,
could be so easily deluded into accept
ing the first report as conclusive state
ment of the business. Without intend
ing to reflect upon the first commission,
farther than that the members Gid not
exercise due diligence in their investi-
cations, we have no hesitation in say
ing that the Irvine trust has played an
important part in this business. 1t is
evident on the face of the whole matter
that 1t was the purpose of the Irvine
trust to prevent the state from entering
into competition, and the most charita
BILE construction we can place upon it
is that the trust played the governor
and his first commissioners for suckers.
The fine hand of the trust is seen in
every line of that first report. particu-

HURTS THE FARMER.

The claim has been made, and is no
doubt credited by some, that the tariff
on agricultural products in the MCKIN-
LEY bill will afford advantage to the
farmers in the Northwest. The imports
of farm products from Canada to the
United States are given the considerable
figures of SIS, 593, 900, and it is assumed
that the duties proposed will be nearly
prohibitory, so that the farmer will be
pretty much relieved from this COM
petition and have the additional sale
for his products. The prospect of this
loss to the Canadian producer Is re-
ported as filling him with alarm. He is
hurt, and therefore the American
farmer must be benefited. An eXamina-
ton of the figures of the traffic between
this country and Canada shows con-
siderable margin in favor of the United
States. The value of the articles sent
over by Canada is SIS, $4,000, while the
shipments of similar character from
the United States into Canada are S22,
333, 900. Canada will, of course, retail
ate by putting high duties on the
American products. The chief suffer-
ers on this side will be the farmers in
the West, as the chief articles sold to
Canada are wheat and flour, corn, hogs
and beef. Wheat and flour last year

RESTRICTING ALIENS.

The bill reported by the house judi
ciary committee yesterday, prohibiting
alien land ownership, will provoke I'M
limited discussion both in and out of
congress. There is much to be said in
favor of the proposed measure. and pos
sibly a few things to be said against it.
There has unquestionably been grave
abuse in this country of land title privi-
leges. Foreign syndicates have alb
sorbed large portion of what was once
the national domain, and are to-day the
owners of millions Of acres that ought
to have been left open for homesteads.
But it is also true that these syn
dicates in many instances got
their fingers burnt, and are to-day
repenting of their land investments.
They have their money planted with
out any immediate prospect of return,
and the remote prospect is too dim to be
comfortable. Hence the proposed legjs
lation comes too late to be of any special
benefit to any one. since most of the
land that is obtainable has been COB
bled up and the investors are sick of
their bargain. Still, the principle of
the proposed bill is correct, and it is
better to have an Endorsement of it late
than never.
If it is desirable to prohibit aliens
from acquiring realty in this country,
then the operation of the house bill
should be extended so as to prohibit
aliens from acquiring property of any
kind. This would put an end to what
appears to be serious menace to our
industrial interests. the formation of
foreign trusts to buy up and control the
various manufacturing industries. If
the principle of alien exclusion is light,
it ought to be broadened to meet all
emergencies.

THE SENATE TINKERs.

The man who drew the elephant in
the lottery and had nowhere to keep
the brute was not in a more perplexed
state of mind than the Republican SEN
ate with the MCKINLEY tariff bill on its
hands. There is evidently enough po-
litical sagacity in that millionaire club
to discover that to pass the bill in its
present shape would be to sound the
death knell of the Republican party.
They are not so sure but it has been
sounded, anyway, by the action of the
Republican house. Still, the Republican
senators have set their wits to work to
save something from the wreck, land what
job of tinkering they have on their
hands. There is scarcely clause of
the bill but will be patched before it
gets out of the senate. 1t will present
such a motley appearance when it goes
back to the house the distinguished
author of the measure will fail to recog-
nize his production.
1t is now square stand-up fight be-
tween the importers and the farmers on
one side and the manufacturers on the
other. Unfortunately, the farmers have
such small representation in congress
their voice is scarcely heard, but it is to
the credit of the importers and jobbers
that they are giving the trusts and
combines the sharpest fight they have
yet had on their hands. The importers
are on their mettle, and they are crowd
ing the senate committee rooms to such
an extent as to scarcely give the
monopoly lobby standing room. 1t is
the first time in the history of national
legislation for the last thirty years that
the protectionists have been squeezed
to the wall.
The effect of this courageous move
ment on the part of the importers is be-
ing felt in the senate. The majority
hesitate to carry out the Republican
policy of protection. The MCKINLEY
bill in the shape it came from the house
is the logical and legitimate outgrowth
of the Chicago platform, and yet the
Republican senators are afraid to in
dorse it. Not to do so is to violate the
pledges made in the party platform.
TO do so is to invite certain and over
whelming defeat at the next election.
What are they going to do about it?
1t now looks as if they propose to
tinker the bill to death. They are going
to amend it and patch it up in such
shape that the house Republicans under
the leadership Of REED and MCKINLEY
will refuse to accept 1t as an exposition
of Republican doctrine. Thus, the as
tute Republican senators imagine they
see their way out of the predicament
the party has been placed i'll by the
MCKINLEY crowd. Congress will prob
ably adjourn without passing tariff
bill, and then they will have sauce for
both the goose and the gander. 1t will
be Republican house that passed the
MCKINLEY bill and Republican senate
that wouldn't accept it; and thus they
hope to reconcile both those who favor
and those who oppose the measure.
There is still some wit left in the
miIlionalres' club.
If there is half as much wit among
the masses the trick will be understood
and the Republican party will suffer
for its cowardly attitude on this ques-
ton.

larly when it is read in comparison with
the clear-cut statements of the last re-
port, which carry conviction with them.
In response to the demands of the
farmers, who are suffering from the
extortions of the Irvine trust, the last
legislature empowered the governor to
take the necessary steps toward en-
ploying the convict labor in the Irvine
industry. We admit that it was bust
ness-like method TO make investigation
before proceeding to establish the Irvine
plant, but we regret that the investiga
ton was not conducted according to
business ideas. Virtually whole year
has been lost by the delay, and the
farmers will have to pay that much adj
ditional tribute to the Irvine trust. But,
as it is now apparent that the cost of a
Irvine plant is so Insignificant in COM
parison with the benefits that are to be
derived, we hope there will be no
further delay in getting the factory into
operation.
