MoNEY-LENDERs in Dakotah are
charging the farmers in the famine dis
trict as much as 60 per cent. a year for
loans. If the farmer borrows 1000
to keep his family alive, and to work
and seed his land for the next crop,
he must pay the lender 81, 800 in one
year, and must give good security that
he will do so, before he can oct the
money. All human experience shows
that this cannot be done and the in
evitabie consequence must be that the
money-lenders will acquire great tracts
of land at about half their yalue
while the present owners will be re,
duced to penury. Oneof the first laws
enacted in every new State should
forbid the taking of usurious interest.
1t is bad for the individual, for il
keeps him in hopeless poverty; bad
for the community, which cannot pro
cure needed improvements if its people
are kept poor; and bad for the State,
which is drained of its money to pay

A PETITION for Ballot Reform with
10000 signers will be sent to the New
York Legislature. The petition weigh
ell half ton, and bound in canvass and
leather it was put on dray on Satur-
day and drawn by four horses through
the streets of New York. 1t will take
more than four horse power to pull
successfully against the opposition of
machine politicians. 1t is cutting up
their business by the roots to take out
of their hands the choice of candi-
dates for Office and to prevent corrup-
ton of voters. But Ballot Reform is
bound to come.

Our working men have been 'be-
guiled" by the deceitful promise of
protection to labor until greedy com
bines, made possible only by excessive
war taxes in time of peace, have de-
creased wages, imported free trade
labor, and increased the cost of many
of the articles most consumed by
working men; but they are beginning
to refuse to be further "beguiled," and
it is only a question of to-day or of
the very near future when our intelli-
gent working men will vote solidly for
free raw materials for our industries
and for the repeal of all needless taxes
on the necessaries of life.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin,
a protectionist paper, has the follow
ing to say of the business interests of
the country: "The business interests
of this country demand a reduction
of the revenue, a removal of such
duties as are unnecessary or direct
tax upon the consumer, and adaptation
of surviving protective duties to
changed conditions of production and
administrative regulations and will
check frauds at the custom house with
out denying an honorable importer
common justice and fair play from the
hands of the Government under which
he lives.

The Republican managers do not care
for the negro, but they see no hope
of carrying another Presidential cleo
ton unless they can once more, in the
old Mississippi steamboat way, ''put a
niger on the safety valve" They
care nothing for the general interests
of the country; they care nothing for
prosperity-they care only for power,
and, as has been shown in the House
Of Representatives already, they will
do and dare everything to keep them
selves in power.

PUBLIC opinion has been concentrat-

of the Australian or Massachusetts
system. The genuine advocate of
progress will always strive to move in
harmony with public opinion, when
ever public opinion tends in the right
direction If other measures of
value can also be attained, so much
the better.

WHEN capital finds it necessary to

The farmers of the West are burn,
ing their corn for fuel, in the absence
of that "home market" of which they
hear so much. The woollen manufac-
turies of the East are closing their
mills because the tariff on wool pre-
vents them from sending their sur
plus production to foreign markets.
This is protection-with vengeance
at both ends of the line.

that Harrisons trip to Pennsylvania two
