A Mr.. Hall, speaker for the Farmers
alliance of Missouri, in an address, made
an emphatic and veracious statement,
which is good reading for those who
never have good word for town people.
He said: II have no use for the dema-
gogue who goes around over the country
advocating the theory that the thieves
are in town and the honest men all in
the country. The retail merchants are
not your enemies. Where there is COM
petition among country retail merchants
you will find no trusts or combines to
take advantabe of you. Everywhere I
have been I have found spirit of COM
petition existing among retail merchants,
cutting down prices and undertaking
each other through the columns OF the
newspapers or printed hand bills, all
bidding for your trade. In forty seven
counties I have travelled over I have
failed to find combine among retail
merchants. If we drive every store out
of town but the one We patronize we will
have built up trust. III we organize
overthe country against men who have
not organized against us, we will be a
trust breeding instead Of trust-break-
ing organization. Let us not make
enemies Of men who are engaged in a
Legitimate business, but keep after the
trusts and unite for the welfare of our
common country.

ing searching queries, which probe to
the core the foolishness and insincerity
and decisions OF the independent move
ment:
Does the constitution of the alliance
in any way contemplate partisan action,
or can the powers therein conferred be
delegated to another organization?
Was it, or is it, the understanding of
the ailiance-T don't mean the officers
that the official organ was for the benefit
OF the order as an agricultural paper, or
was it to advance the political interests
OF few men?
II to boom the party why should the
alliance be put to the additional expense
II the alliance is not paying the ex-
pense because it would be irregular .
why was it necessary to defend the Rura-
lists Endorsement OF the ticket and its
course relative to the expense il its course
was regular?
What would an examination OF the
matter disclose financially?
Can some printer be induced to give
the expense of the Office of the Ruralist,
the official organ of the alliance, and yet
used exclusively for other purposes? .
What, il any, will be the benefit which
will accrue to the farmers by supporting
| the independent ticketY
Will it induce or prevent individual
or associated capital investments in our
state?
Why are democrats SO solicitous to
have farmer republicans vote the inde-
pendent ticket?
What, if any, has the alliance done
independent of outside help to better the
farmers condition?
Has it relieved us from dockage on
grain, or constitutional amendment
for irrigation?
Are its days of usefulness under the
present regime numbered?
Will it be wondered at il farmers are
called chumps for permitting the order
to be made the stepping stone?
Will it not be deplorable if the men
who have proved recreant to their trust
should be rewarded by political prefer
ment

In paragraph Major Mckinley con-
densed vast amount of information
about the tariff Legislation of which the
bill that bore his name was first rough
draft: "Would the farmers of Holmes
county rather have consumer or COM
petitor9 Every time you drive men out
of factories they change from consumers
to competitors. 1t is said the republi-
can protective tariff puts burdens upon
the people. There is not man in this
audience who knows anything about it,
for he does not feel the weight of federal
taxation. This tax is not paid by con-
sumers. II it is, why is it that England,
Belgium and Germany are crying out
against this new bill? You do not pay
it and the foreigner knows it. There is
not an item upon which protective duties
have been laid that has not been reduced
in price to the people who buy it. The
republican party fifteen years ago gave
to the country free coffee and tea, and it
has now given to it free sugar, and we
now have as result free and untaxed
breakfast table and duties under this bill
which went into operation yesterday are
lower than those of any bill since 1861.
With half dozen exceptions there have
been reductions all along the line. We
have reduced the duty wherever it would
not interfere with or injure home indus
try, and have increased it only where the
protection of our own manufacturing in
terests demanded it,"

Marshall Field & Co., the heavy whole

the heaviest increase in prices on ac-

pushes and velvets. Persons with linn
tied incomes will probably feel impelled
to wear cheaper material while at work
henceforth.

Meade county last year polled some
thing over 1900 votes, out of which
Pierre received 1890 and Huron 8, and
while Pierre has fulfilled every promise
she made to the people of the state, HUI
ron has done nothing but Islander every
portion of South Dakota west of Che
river. These are facts that every think
ing and reading man in the Hills knows
to be true, and there is no plausible ar
gument to offer why any voter west Of
the river should vote for Huron. Pierre
is our friend and neighbor, and her in
terests are in common with ours, and the
sentiment in this county is as strong to-
day for Pierre as it was one year ago.

The Kimball Index draws upon Mr..
Cummings his Legislative record in re-
gard to his position on election reform.
Mr.. Cummings is editor of the Dakota
Ruralist, the official organ of the indie
pendent movement In his paper he ar
raigns certain republican Legislators for
their opposition to the Australian ballot
system. Pages 722 and 1913 Of the house
journal show that Mr.. Cummings, as a
member of the committee on elections
and privileges, to which was referred the
Australian ballot bill, reported adversely
thereon, but recommended the enactment
of a law requiring the adoption of the
Rhines vote record system, scheme
which was backed by persistent Lobbyist
and in which there were understood to
be special inducements for support. The
Index declares that 1t is well-known
fact that but for Cummings work in
creating discussions in the committee on
elections and privileges, the Australian
ballot bill would have passed the house.
II Mr.. Cummings is of the opinion that
opposition to ballot reform is sufficient
justification to warrant condemnation of
fellow member, it might furnish inter
esting reading for him to explain how he
clears his own skirts.

put duty of four cents pound on
