Your letters on Protection" hit the nail
on the head every time. I W a farm OF
200 acres in the county of Welland, Onta-
rio, about ten miles from the boundary
line. and if we had free trade with the
United States my farm would be worth
nearly double in value; as it is, our best
market is in the United States, for in
stance: hay is worth here from $500 to
$500 per ton and in the city of Buffalo,
10 miles from here, it is worth from $14
to SIG per ton. Duties on a gross ton
(2,24O lbs.) $500; enterence 70 cents;
ferry expenses 80 cents; market fees Is
cents; so you can see by figuring up, that
it pays US even at that, and on the other
hand, if I want to buy a pillow I will have
to pay from $500 to $500 here, and il
Buffalo I can get just as good a pillow TO
$1,000; or a shovel mere retails at from 4
cents to $1.00, the price there is from 5
cents to Is cents. Forks for about hal

THE PROPOSED SCHOOL LAW.

It is hard to give eve a synopsis OF
the new school law. There is so much OF
it and SO radical in it's changes. Each
sub-district has a director as under the
the old law and they are allowed pay
for q certain number Of days. Each
township elects one man who is called a
supervisor. He has charge OF the schools
Of the township, levies the taxes, and is
in short, the autocrat OF the township.
His pay may be SIS for each school OF
the township. The supervisors OF the
different townships form a county board
OF education.

POLITICAL MUTUAL AID THICKER

POLITICAL MUTUAL AID TTsICKEftY.
The political horizon Of South Dako-
to begins to take on a peculiar hue.
Last October the legislature elected two
parties to represent the state in the
United States senate, whom it was sup
to forwarding OF the states interests.
Have they done SO? Numerous APP
pointments have been made, but with
what end in view? Have the qualifica-
tons and the political services of the
appointees alone been taken into ques-
ton in determining whether they should
receive the appointment, or has the mat
ter OF their preference for United States
senator next fall cut the larger figure?
Ii the latter has been the rule the ques-
ton arises, did the people elect the
United States senators for the purpose
OF going to Washington to form II mutu-
al aid administration society whose
whole purpose and aim seems to be to
perpetuate themselves in the United
States senate. The drawing for tho
long and short term had no sooner beel
finished than the party who al Sc
fortunate as to have drawn the Ion.

the time comes for another senatorial

to consider is, is it not dangerous t.
+ their interests to allow such matters tt

AFTER MOODY,

The New York Press has woven quite a
nice little politico-romantic halo about the
head of Senator Moody, attributing to him
the work by which Dakota territory got ten
votes in the last republican national con-
vention. Moody didn't do that work-it
was 10 Baily of Sioux Falls who planned
and executed it. He was there with a
proxy as a member of the national co :
mittee which determined the matter, and
there were two or three times when the
question hung in the balance, wavering
against the project for admission, but 10
managed to tip the beam in behalf of Da-
kota's claim, 1t wasn't Moody, who, either
by management or labor, added Il single
vote to Dakota's representation in the ma
tional convention. He made a very nice
delegate after the representation was fixed
but even then he wasn't the architect of
any conspicuous results further than secur-
ing the recognition OF the Dakota question
in the national platform.-Sioux Falls

Somebody somewhere has said that high

nation, from which must be reaped by the
nation the product of hard times, poverty
and distress. Whether this be true or
otherwise We are not prepared to say. but
with the great mass of mortgage ridden
farmers, who, with their families, are work
ing year in and year out for the sole bene-
tit Of mortgages, it certainly does seem
that the prosperity of our nation is depend
ing very largely upon speculation instead
of honest industry. Perhaps one of the
greatest evils which forces itself upon many
of our farmers of to-day is the necessity OF
securing advances on growing crops. It
makes life a burden, and labor a punish
ment, without hope of enjoying its returns.

state Of slavery, and no people can prosper

Drink for Fattening Hogs.

American Cui,i>,.aor says: Corn is
.eating food. 1t is too concentrated for
most kinds of stock, and even for hogs
it often creates a feverish state of the
system that requires good deal of wa
ter to cool down. A hog that is kept
feverish from overloaded stomach will
not fatten. 1t should have beets or
mangel wurzels, but if this is impossible
mix water with the chill taken off it
with little fine middlings. This will
distend the stomach and prevent consti-
patton. 1t will also furnish the albu-
minoid food necessary to make lean
meat, in which corn is deficient. If fat
tening hogs are given drink warm, and
thus mixed with wheat middlings, they
will drink much more heartily than they
will Of cold water alone, and be less
likely to get off their feed.
