A Daniel Come To Judgment.

W. have been fsEqred with q copy
Of Mr.. Hansbrough's speech on the
Mckinley bill, although we can
scarcely believe that any sane maj
would utter such stuff before our
National Legislature. Listen to this
Dakota Daniel: millions Of foreign
born citizens ael from want under
free trade, etc." and again, "Free
trade drove to this country, etc.
How could thousands of French and
Germans flee from Free Trade, when
their native land is blessed with Pro-
lection, their high tariff being to raise
money to pay their enormous standing
armies. To the United States be.
longs the distinction Of robbing her
farmers for the benefit Of a few PEN
nsylvania coal and iron barons, mon
opolists and manufacturing trusts and
combi1es. How was it that under
low tariff, emigrants poured into New
York at the rate Of a thousand per
day? Were they feel 1g from free
trade, as all that period England was
taxing her peoples bread. Ole more
Of H~ansbrough's gems.
The direct tendency Of the econo.
mic policy advocated by the Demo
cratic arty is to increase and intens-
ify Il destitution and want of our
people by br ,nging them into closer
competition with the pauperism of
the old world.
Are not foreigners who are known
only by the Numbers on their tags
who live on putrid horse flesh, and
other filth, working for as low as 50
cents to 81 pei lay supplanting the
American workmen? Is not this
competition with the pauperism of
the old world? This is the outcome
of the Republican millennium of the
past 80 years. We should think p.y-
ing $170 for an American binder that
is sold in England Cor 500, that pay
Ing 7 to 8 cents per Id for sugar that
is sold in Great Britain for 4 cts. per
h., that shutting out good wool and
bringing old rags to make shoddy
clothes, that high prices for what we
buy and low prices for what we sell
would s'intensify destitution," but our
Daniel says, the more We pay the
richer we will be, "Pro-dig-ous!"
Why should not the Dakota farmer
have a bounty on the wheat he raises
as well as the sugar grower. Mr.. II.
Is great upon protecting hen fruit,
straw and cabbage patches, etc.
We would respectfully advise MI.
H. not to distribute any more such
literature; it may do for the Indians
at Devils Lake if they cant read, or
perhaps some %irreverent granger will
call Mr.. H. a cahbagel headed hen
wife.

Mills should Take only Toll.

The Chicago Journal Of Commences rays:
From circulars recently sent to this office,
it ~ eviden that the Farmers Alliances
now becoming 80 numerous in several States,
are merely political associations, whose
politics is bad. and the purity Of whose
motives is doubtful.
We do not expect journals devoted to in-
terest Of trusts and monopolizing syndicates
to admire The Alliance, Wheel, The Grange
or other faI mers' organizations. The mono
polists want the people 10 take the tell, while
the maglates receivc the grist. That is
taking the tell the wrong way. The miller
should take a reasonable toll, and give the
patron Of the mill the Erist.

A GOOD story is told on the Rev.
Sam Jones, an incident that happen
ed when the well-know preacher first

Atlanta journal. He went to small
town and was told that he would haye
hard time in the church, as there
were numerous feuds existing between
the members, and two brothers, who
both belonged to the church, never
spoke to each other, nor did their
families.
The night for opening the meeting
arrived. Mr.. Jones entered the church
while the choir and congregation were
singing:
Come, angel band:
Come, and around me stand.
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my immortal home.
When the centre of the church was
reached Mr.. Jones stopped in the
aisle, waved his hat at the choir, and
shouted: "Stop stop that singing r
The music ceased at once, and Mr.
Jones continued:
That's not a fit song to be sing
ing in this church. | am told that
there are brothers and cousins who
belong here, end yet don't speak to
each other. Now, do you think there
is any danger of hearing the rustling

''The Tyler Grip"

The last appearance OF the grip,
which is now affecting good many
communities, was in 1S43. or course
there have been limited epidemics Of
influenza since, but nothing of such a
widespread nature. 1t is a singular
coincidence that the last severe cpl
demic was during the term that should
have been served by the grandfather
of the present President. As he died
within month after his inauguration,
the epidemic took place during that
part of Harrison's term that was I'LL
ed out BY Tyler. The disease was
known as the Tyler scrip" Tyler had
abandoned the Wing party on the
bank question, and during his entire
term he was cordially hated by the
Wings. Every affection, from the
hog cholera to the potato-rot, was
charged to Tyler. Tine Wings took all
unhappy experiences as just penalty
for having made Tyler the Vice Pres
dent. So when the influenza made its
painful way into every town and vii.
lage in the country, making strong
men weep and giving everybody a
sore throat and headache, the Wings
charged it to Tyler, and everybody
spoke Of the "Tylel grip" This much
is certain-that the two most decided
epidemics have followed the election
of Harrison to office and the Demo
Gratis may make the most of it.

Looks Like War.

BUTTE MINER, January 7.-Ever
since the Union Pacific and Chicago
&c Northwestern formed their traffic
combination, competing roads have
looked with more or less jealousy up
on the united companies and the pre-
diction was made in the outset that it
would in all probability result in an
open rate war. The prediction has
come TO pass, but not in the manner
anticipated. Instead of rival roads
being the first to declare war, the
usually conservative Union Pacific
seems to oe the one to throw down
the gauntlet and give notice that 1t Is
in for fight. The fact that the
Union Pacific and the Northwestern
have decided 70 make war on their
competitors gives rise to the supposi-
tion that they consider their power
sufficiently great since the consolida-
tion to snap their fingers at traffic
agreements, passenger associations
and other arrangements entered into
voluntarily TO prevent wicked and

There is not republican in either

egregious blunder. There is not a
republican in either house Of congress,

mits that the white race should dom
mate the southern as it does the north
ern section of our republic. Yet, de-
spite these facts, there is a common
chorus of holy horror against the

not more ''niggers" in congress from
that section. And those cries come
from statesmen who would consider
themselves contaminated by associa-
