TERMS, $500.

The past two years have been
Enthusiastically discouraging to the
farmers and business men of this
section. But there is no use be-
moaning the past. The time
spent in recounting losses should be
devoted to devising means for max
ing good those losses, and planning
for next years work. Those who
can lend their influence toward help
ing along the irrigation movement
should do it. Those who are Oh
farm and not in a position to do
this should try in some way to get
a start in sheep and other stock so
as to make a living even though
the wheat crop is a partial failure.
Determine to make success and
put forth oil your energies to that
end. Prepare to farm we'll that
which you put in crop, and you
will harvest more it you do net
scatter 70 much seed.

REPUBLICAN supremacy in North

upbuilding Of all that is for the best
interests of our people. Either the
Republican or Democratic party
must surely win. A vote therefore

counts one for the Democratic party

throw our vote where it does not

The Lindsay Post, Il Canadis

The Lindsay Post, a Canadian
newspaper, after inquiring how
the farmers of that domain will be
affected by the Mckinley bill, says:
''To the individual farmer, reciproci-
ty would give thirty cents additional
value on every bushel of barley
forty cents on every bushel ofpeas-
rs cents on every bushel of potatoes
-$4 a ton on hay-$30 on every
horse worth less than 6150-$10
on every head of cattle moro than
a year old-$1.50 on every sheep q
year old-75 cents on every lamb
and a similar increase upon every
character of farm produce" 1t is
true the Mckinley bill was not
passed in the interest of Canada,
England or any other foreign country
it is strictly American. If it cuts
the Canadian farmers according to
the above figuring it is plain that
it sstte American farmers just
that much.

FREE trade has been Ireland's
doom. That country. which has
been degraded by England's oppress-
ion once supported in reasonable Q
comfort 5000, 900 of people. Her
manufacture in linen, silk, wool,
and cotton, protected by tariffs and
encouraged by subsidies, absorbed
her capital, employed her laborers,
promoted diversity of industries,
and insured prosperity. To-day,
with only 100000 Of people, she
is the poorest, most distracted and
harrassed country on earth. The
cotton manufacture of Dublin,
which employed $4,000 operatives,
and the 5000 silk looms Of the
Liberty have been destroyed. Ire

LAST Thursday two Democratic
notables spoke in Oakes-and it was
u great ''spoke" NOTABLY in one
instance. Benz. Porter, candidate
for state senator, "broke the ice" for
Hon Taylor Crum. The most of
his speech, about the terrible "robber
tariff" be had down pat-on paper
and measured it off by the yard.
But it was a great "break" he made
about "women's and childrsn's S
clothing" in speaking of the Nc
Kinley bill-ft to go ringing
through our legislative halls. He
quoted something new about Grover
Cleayeland saying "a public Office
is private snap" but HE thought
"a public office public trust," or
vice versa. He thought $4,000 a
year fol county treasurer too much
and was ''private snap" while the
poor toilers" had to pay it. A
few years ago when his brother was
county treasurer we fancy We see
this same Benjamin running to him,
throwing his arms frantically
around his neck, and with brstherly
love and solicitude crying, 20,
Charles, this is too much; you must
not take it from these poor toilers,
they can't stand it; We must give
fifteen hundred back to thsm!"
Benjamin, however, was not run
ming for Office then and had no mo-
tive in quilting the "poor teilers."
Now is the time to act--to practice
economy instead Of simply to talk
it. Induce your ex-Democratic
ofice-holders to pay the surplus of
each year over 81, 900 back into the
county treasury, Mr.. Porter. 1t
would be only about $4,000 from
your brother to the ''poor toilers."

THIS is favorable year, owing to
poor crops and the consequent de-
preston in agriculture, for the Dem
ocratic howl that this state of affairs
is the result Of our tariff. They
would have you believe that the re-
Gently enacted Mckinley law IS the
reason Of the farmers poverty last
year. This was tho burden of Mr..
Porter's song rendered in Gorder'a
Opera House last Thursday. Mr..
Porter we'll knows, as does every
other sensible person, that the
reason of the present hard times
with our farmers is = failure Of
crops the past two years. The ar
gument that it is the Mckinley bill
or the result Of the tariff in any
way is simply prepostsrous. Two
years ago, when we had a good crop
and $1.25 per bushel for wheat,
what better times could our farmers
want2 The cry that the increased
tariff on woolsn goods will be to
our disadvantage is simply a bugbear
of Democratic creation. Even the
Democratic haranguers in broadc!oth
could net ask for clothing to be
cheaper, when Bittman sells good
pair of pants for $500, good
enough for even a Democrat to
wear. Let North Dakota Deme.
Gratis engage in sheep raising aud
they will not complain at the tariff
on wool. As has been aptly said
what difference does it make if you
do have to pay 81 more for a suit
Of clothes if you can make $40 in
