in America, The price fixed on the sur
plus fixes the price on what is required
for home consumption less the cost OF
transportation. In short, the American
farmers produce is sold in a ..free trade
market with the world as competitors.
What this senator means about the
tariff ch%eapening the farmers supply
market is hard to understand. We
judge OF cheapness by comparison. II
one person offers an article for five dol
lars and another asks ten for the same
article, we say the former is cheap. Ii
the tariff has cheapened the market Tor
the farmers benefit, why is it that a
horde OF officers and inspectors are kept
along the border atanenormous expense
to the farmer to prevent smuggling? Is
it to prevent the people on the other
side bringing their goods across and sell,
ing them in this senator's cheap market!
Smugglers say if they lose one-third Of
their goods in transit. the sale OF the
two-thirds leaves them a profit. Yet
this senator with lnetible gall tells the
farmer that the tariff cheapens his sup
ply market. ~

ARTESIAN WELL NEAR WH1TEWOOD.
Scarcely anybody doubts the existence
of a vast artesian basin underly South
Dakota, for the fact has often been dem
onstrated. There are several wells now in
the state which flow heavy streams con-
stantly. Some time since a party was
formed to prospect for coal on Sinking
Water, a short distance north of here.
The drill was set and a six inch hole was
started. A sixteen foot stratum of hard
sandstone was drilled through, then eigh-
teen feet of fire clay, another ledge of
sandstone, a small vein of coal, then forty
feet of loose earth and a ledge of hard
rock. At this juncture, just LOG feet from
the surface. the workmen were obliged to
lift the drill, remove the machinery and
| abandon thei: search for coal on account
of the stream of water which burst up. The
opening was stopped up with an oak plug
and covered with rock, they first boring
an inch hole through the plug, through
which the water shot nearly twenty fee
into the air. The stream has not for
momen ceased to flow and does not ap
pear to h%uctuate. If such a stream car
be attained at a depth of 106 feet, it is a
least reasonable to suppose that at create
depth the pressure and volume would b.
greater. We have the utmost faith il
the ~artesian system and hope to see NOR
tests made ere many months.-Sertinel.

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER.

EDITOR UNIoN:-An Illinois senator
has made the discovery that the protec-
tive tariff has furnished the farmers OF
America with the best market in the
world. He also has discovered-and re-
ported his discovery-that the tariff has
cheapened the market where the farmer
goes to purchase bis supplies. To whom
is this senator telling this? Admitting
that there are farmers who will believe
this, who have, for the last half century,
been roofing in the ground to find some
thing, which when found, is gobbled by
the class this senator represents, yet
there are some among the farming class
whose vision enables them to see a hole
in a ladder. Following at the heels of
this senator a writer in the New
York Tribune who declares that the
senator has added much "valuable liter
allure" to the protection league, and
offers in detail, arguments in support OF
the senator's assertions. This writer
tells the farmer that there is ten cents
tariff per bushel on corn; that in the
year 1888 the crop in the United States
was 1,9O0,O00,00O bushels, which, at
ten cents per bushel tariff, puts in the
American farmers pockets $1S1, 10000
Here is sophistry with a witness. Need
the farmers be told that the tariff on
corn does notput q centin their
but, on the other hand, takes money
out? 1t does not put it in because
America sells corn instead OF buying. II
takes money out oftheirpockets because
it is sold to a people with whom we re.
fuse the free interchange OF commodities
IA people who will do just as every
farmer will do; viz, deal with those who
will in turn deal with them on equal
terms. Oursupples are sent abroada nd
sold; the buyer fixing the price. And
who is the buyer? The buyers are those
whom we compel to pay tribute for the
privilege OF selling their wares to us, and
he who has discovered that they do not,
exact the same tribute when making
their purchases Of us that we do when
purchasing OF Them, has discovered a
channel as a guide for human actions
not heretofore known. These people fix

A New Story of Webster.

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent him as a present an enormous
sized plow to use on his place. Web
ster gave out word that on a certain
day it would be christened. The day
arrived, and the surrounding farmers
for miles came to witness the event. A
dozen teams with a]ristocratic occupants
came down from Boston. 1t was ex-
pected by every one that Webster would
make a great speech on that occasion,
reviewing the history of farming back
to the time when Cincinnatus abdicated
the most mighty throne in the world to
cultivate turnips and cabbages in his
Roman garden. The pillow was brought
out and ten yoke of splendid oxen
hitched in front. More than two hun.
dred people stood around on the tiptoe
of expectation. Soon Webster made
his appearance. He had been calling
spirits from the vastly deep, and his gait
was somewhat uncertain. Selling the
plow-handles and spreading his fest, he
yelled out to the driver in his deep, bass
voice:
''Are you all ready, Mr.. WHghss"
"All ready, Mr.. Webstez." Was IL re-.
ply, meaning of course, for II peech.
Webster Strengthened hinnk p " 4
mighty effort and shouted:
"Then let her rip!"
The whole crowd dropped 10 the
ground and rosred with laughter, while
Webster with hk big pillow proceeded t.
rip up the soil.

ECONOMY IN BUSINESS VS., ECONOMY
ON FARM.

Business and professional men are
very free in their advice to farmers and
nine times out of ten it is in the line OF
economy and greater production. As
they are producing many crops at a
loss, they have been driven past econ
omy into want. Three fourths OF the
Black Hills, although not suffering for
home grown food, are without many
things which are necessary to a COM
Portable life, (eyen as their advisors
would interpret it), in both food and
clothing. Outside Of these necessities,
teams, toals and furniture are needed in
unlimited quantity. One season OF
good crops, fair prices, with reasonable
rates Of interests, and the volume OF
business done would astonish our mer-
chants. But while waiting for this crop,
farmers have must live and right here is
where they are effected by want Of econ
omy in town life. If a Merchant pays
$50 per month, rent, where $25 would
do, or hires three or four clerks where
would answer, lives in a high priced
dwelling when a cottage would accom-
modate the family, keeps a high priced
girl when the wife by working one half as
hard as the farmers wife could do her
own work, why, as a matter OF course,
meon must meet these extra expen-
SEES ard that someone is his customer.
And the same applies to banks and

half the economy that the farmer does,
they could comply with the new interest
law and still grow rich much faster than
the farmer. One more point while we
are on this subject. Tits an established
fact that the only sure revenue from
farming arises from the increase of the
land ia value. This TACT should enable
our business men to work on verge close

nATEs or

The interest question has finally been.
settled by the legislature, the rate fixed
being ten per cent on real estate and
twelve per cent on personal security.
There were many resolutions and PEE
titions received from different bodies and
sections asking that the rate be much
lower, many demanding seven per cent.
There is one point in favor OF the rate
fixed. While it is buta slight reduction
for the parties who are forced to borrow
money. It is also but a small reduction
in the rates obtained by legitimate
money loaners, and as it &c slishtly
interferes with existing rates, the law
should be obeyed to the letter. In the
matter OF real estate loans, while the
general rule IN this city to-day, adding
commissions, is twelve per cent; yet
some money is loaned at eleven and
one-half, and one party has b%eenloaning
as fast as he can obtain money from
eastern parties, at eleven per cent. In
chattel or personal securities, money is
is now loaned here at from twelve to
twenty-four per cent. The general rate
on short loans being one and one-hall
per cent. OF course it goes against the
grain to be forced to take twelve pei
cent when many are anxious to borrow
at eighteen, but it cannot be considered
u loss OF six per cent. Many parties
have been getting money for twelve PEI
per cent for a year past, and then thu
lower rates will make better risks ant
hence eastern money will be more readi
