ECONOMY OF FACTS.
How Senators Pierce and Davis
Juggle With Truth.

t. the Editor of the Globe
The careless or ignorant way in which the
apologists for the Mckinley tariff bill quote
statistics is astounding. Senator Pierce, in
his speech at jamestown. made abo ut the
same errors in his sheep and wool statistics
that Senator Davis. of your state makes: and
this coincidence leads some to think that
there is preconcerted plan on the part of
the McKlnleyites to delude the people by an
economical use of facts. Senator Pierce
strongly affirmed that the Mckinley bill, al
though raising the duty ON almost every
thing, was measure to lower the prices of
oil commodities except wool, but on this one
item the duty had been raised about per
cent. which had already increased the price
of wool five cents per pound, or 20 per cent
This preposterous statement is taken from
the Minneapolis Tribune repOr: of his speech
give the statistics of the tariff and its appar-
ent effects on wool and sheep, and any one
can verify them by a reference to the reports
of the bureau of statistics of the United
States. In February. 1867, there were 3d.
1886 sheep in the United States: in 1877.
35,S 4.2Ou, or decrease of 1851, 1856 sheep
IN ten years under the most extraordinary
high tariff of lS67. ] find also that in Feb.
ruary. 1866, just prior to the passage of this
high wool tariff. there were in
the fn eight principal wool-growing states
and Ohio, 26, S24, SO sheep, and in 1867
there were 90, s79 222 in these states. After
eleven years of this, the highest wool tariff
our country ever had, in January, 1878. the
number of sheep had decreased in these
states to II, 1913, 600. or a loss of about IL
ueD. 0G'. ! also find that during twenty
seven years comprised in the time from 1913
to SAG, and from 1865 to 1887, the average
rate of'duty on clothing wool was 47l2 per
cent and the average price IN the American
market was lie cents per pound. During
the period of eighteen years from iS47 to
1864 the average duty was 31la per cent,
and the average price was 43 cents per
pound. That is, the average price was liz
cents per pound higher when the duty was
one third lower. also observe that in lS 8,
prior to the time any heavy duty was placed
oncwool, aud under what would now be
called a free trade tariff the price of wool
reached 80 cents per pound while under the
excessively high protection tariff of 1867,
in 1873 wool sold for 20 cents per pound
ana this year, with tariff almost as high az
the tariff OF 1867, WOOL has sold for 16
cents. These figures cannot be disputed, and
if the advocates of high tariff can find any
comfort from their perusal they are the
manufacturer and not the growers of this
product. n. B. WILKINSON

HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE, GRAND FORKS,
N. d., Oct. "a. To the Voters of North
Dakota: We are now on the eve of one
of the most important elections that has
ever taken place in the new state of
North Dakota. We are fighting for
principle. We are fighting for our
homes. We are fighting for our bust
ness interests. We are lighting to free
our young agricultural state from the
tentacles of unjust taxation thrown
about us in common with our sister
states Of the West and South by that
gigantic cutie fish of commerce whose
slnuOuS aims reach out from the At
lantlc seaboard to suck up our substance
the tariff. We are fighting the battle
OF the laborers and producers of the
West against the greed of capital in the
East. Our candidates are all good men
and true. We present you the names
OF men who fully represent the
whole people and not the selfish
interests of class. Our enemies are
cruel and cunning. They cannot stand
on the solid platform of truth and pro-
claim openly their loyalty to the section
OF the country in which we all live, but
they must and wilIresOrt to sOphistry,
subterfuge and DECEPTION. They will
stop at nothing to defeat US. 1t is the
budding of their Eastern masters that
we must be defeated, and that the prin-
clpieS we advocate must he crushed.
Therefore, it behooves us all to be on
the watch. All manner of reports will
doubtless be circulated concerning our
ticket and our candidates. Believe them
not. Take no stock in any reports. Our
candidates will be elected if you but do
your duty. Let us stand shoulder to
shoulder to the end.

meeting with very flattering measure
of success:,s johnson is a candidate on
three tickets for congress. He was
nominated first by the Republican
party OH high protective tariff plat
form. Then he was nominated on the
Farmers Alliance ticket on a platform
pledging its candidates to tariff reduc-
ton. Lastly he was nominated by the
on-lndependent party on
platform which pledges Its nominee to
come out from all other parties
and stand up for straight Pro-
hibltion first, last and all the
time.a He has accepted all the nominal
tons. He is a candidate on all the
tickets. But it is plain which is his
preference. Tie Republican com nit
tee has tried in vain to compel him to
come out on one side or the other. His
preference is plainly with the Prohibi-
tion-Farmers' alliance party. This was
shown here "wednesday night. There
were two meetings IN this city. One
Republican, addressed by Gov. Miller
at the opera house, to which all the
leading Republicans went. The other
was Farmers -Alliance-P Prohibition at
Odd Fellows hall. and here johnson
was in the front row in all his
glory. He nodded approval, and
was so evidently in SYM
party with the whole thing that it made
the Republicans swarm the next day.
What they have decided to do is not
yet definitely known, but it is reported
that they will pull johnson of the
ticket. 1t is said thatif he is not pulled
off there is large element of the Re-
publicans who will bolt for Hon. John
ID. Benton at the last moment. A little

They Are at Swords Points as Was
Predicted.
The fight which was predicted be-
tween Jud La Moure, Edwards and the
Republican central committee, is well
on now and will result in a complete
rupture of the committee. Jud, when
hot, always means business. and is not
CHI dice in the language with which he
expresses his feelings, and among all
the lies he tells he mixes in lots of
truth, for instance the following, from
the Argus, Oct. %:
The truth about the business of hiring the
hall at Grand Forks, which appeared in The
Argus this morning, is that got into the
city from Pembina Sunday evening, and,
after attending church, found that our peo-
pie mad m ade no arrangements for a hall,
and Monday morning i went and saw the
people in charge of the opera house and
asked them if it was engaged. They said no.
II was not; and, by the way. / had spoken to
them before about it. ] went there-hot sup
posing those fellows had hired it away from
me. But when he said it was not engaged
paid for il and took the receipt. Gov. Miller
and Senator Price will speak there Wednesday
night. l was little surprised to see that
stuff in the Argus. 1t has got so that when
anybody has got lot OF dirty rot to publish
thew go and throw it into The Argus, and so
nobody has any respect for 1t. Edwards is
against me. and takes delight in placing me in
false positions. Of course the Argus goes, but
the fact that Edwards is against me cuts no
figure. Our committee is sending out lots of
tariff literature and conducting an educa-
tional campaign. We appeal to the reason of
the voters. and not to their passions and
prejudices. This kind of a campaign is SUE
to teI. Our speakers are instructed to appeal
to reason, and not TO prejudice. In fact we
are not conducting this campaign from an
Argus standpoint, and that is what makes the
major hot at me.
When Jud got through he pulled his
hat over his eyes, said little profane
prayer and started for East Grand
Forks, where there are found those bev-
erages which go the head and worry the
heels. The last heard of him he was

And One of Them in the Hands of
Col. Edwards.


Special to the Globe
FARGO, Oct 24.-It is fast coming to
the surface that Edwards, of Argus
fame, ID prepared to knife Burke when
ever opportunity offers. The reason for
such action is apparent to all who are
acquainted with the facts of the present
and past history of political skuldug-
gerry i'll this county. Mr.. Burke's letter
acceptance, wherein he stated that he
would veto any lottery bill which might
be passed by the legislature, was and is
to-day looked upon as direct Insult to
those who were in the ring with Spencer
to pass the lottery bill last winter. Of
course, Jud La MOure, Edwards and
all others who banked on this rObber
scneme are the insultcd parties. and will
resent Mr.. Burke insult as soon as time
shall develop an opportunity. The
committee are angular toward each
other. hot in the collar and determined
that somebody shall suffer. 1t is also
stated that Burke doesn't bleed free
enough to suit the demands of the COM
mittee. However, all this may he, Mr..
Roach, the Democratic nominee for
governo. is constantly making friends
and voter as he traverseS the state in
company with Col. John d. Benton, the
nominee for congress. Tickets have
already been printed, leaving Mr..
Burke's name off and inserting that of
Muir in one instance. and Roach in an
other. The world moves and SO does
the Democratic party. Crack your
whip, Jud. Draw on Burke again.
Maybe he was out making speeches
when the other draft came.

dressed in a gorgeous coat Of tar and
feathers. The cartoon is CHASTITY
trophy of the wood engraver's art, and
the three-cO!umn editorial accompany
ing it roasts La Muure and the
Republican committee vigorously.
The paper is published by an
un-American fanatic, who supports
johnson because he is rank Prohibit
zionist and roaSts the committee because
they arc not Prohibtionists. The fact
is beginning to develop and is APP
parent to the Republicans of the state
that johnson is not trOtting square.
This publication has led to investigation
and the fact is now discovered that
johnson and this FOSs, editor of the
Normanden. and certain other Prohibit
ton Scandin2vianS have gone into
conspiracy against certain prom
inent candidates on the Republican
state ticket, who are not PrOhibitionists,
to trade off the Republican Norwegian
vote to the Prohibition candidates on
the Independent ticket. The candi-
dates to be slaughtered by this deal are
Bay for auditor, Booker for treasurer,
Walsh and Harmon for railroad COM
mlsSiOners, Burke for governor, and
one or two others. The discovery of this
rank perfidy on the part of johnson and
his Scandinavian cohorts has created a
howl of indignation in Republican
ranks. The regular Republican candi-
dates who did not receive Endorsement
at the hands of the recent Farmers AL
llance-PrOhibitiOn conventions see de-
feat staring them in the face unless
something is done at once. Their
friends are mad and there are signs
of dissension and war in the Re-
publican camp. The friends Of the
candidates on the regular Republican
ticket who were not Endorsed by the
Prohibitionists threaten war on John
son if he does not come Off the indie
pendent ticket. Chairman La Mondure
has his hands full to prevent an open
bolt to Benton. He has worked hard
for johnson and is still striving to pre-
serve order and discipline in the Re-
publican camp. But he cannot longer
hold down the safety valve unless John
son repudiates the Endorsement of the
Prohibition independent convention,
and declares himself a candidate on the
regular Republican ticket, and on tnat
ticket only. Ii he does not not do this
and he dare not and will not do it
there will be bolt to Benton before
week. The regular Republican can
didateS do not propose to sit still
and be traded off by the Scandinavian
Prohibitionists. Chairman La MOure is
at sea. He scarcely knows which way
to turn or what to do to preserve disci-
pline. But it is stated that he will make
formal request of johnson to declare
himself in this matter, whether he is
running on the independent ticket or
the regular Republican ticket, in few
days. Nom ID. PLUME.

CASS FOR BENTON.
No Way of Defeating Him in His
Home County.

Special to the Globe.
CASSELToN, Oct. 24.-FOr several
days the Fargo Argus has been publish
ing some bills which Col. John D. Ben
ton, when sheriff of this county, pre-
sented during his administration. Since
the first publication, the bill
the principal one-upOn which
they tune their harp, has been
reduced from S92 to $40. 1t is a well
known fact in this community that
these bills were discussed by Benton's
enemies at the time. and it is further
true beyond question that these bills
were passed upon by the county COM
missionerS. and, after a careful review
by them, allowed without dissenting
vote. The base and unfounded lies
which were concocted at the time. ana
which have been hundreds of times dis
proved. are now being spread
before the people as some
"a duck with chickens feet, which
can't swim. and will drown in its own
water. Now, taking it for granted the
bills as published are correct state
ments, what does 1t show? Simply that
Mr.. Benton received what was his due
not one cent mOre-nOt dollar that did
not properly and legally belong to him.
We do not mention this matter because
there are any fears OF injuring Mr.. Ben
ton in his canvass for congress, but to
show the filthy methods adopted to OPP
pose his election. There is not a stain
upon his character. not a dishonorable
act, not a single spot upon his record as
lawyer, citizen or personal friend,
and the good people of Cass county will
prove these words true on election day.

DEATH IN THE CUP.
Startling Statements for Tea and
Coffee Drinkers From a German
Scientist.

COHee Drinkers from a German
Scientist.
DR.. Mendel, distinguished scientist of
Berlin, has recently published an article on
the result of coffee drinking. He claims
that the results of excessive coffee drinking
is depression of spirits, frequent headaches
and sleeplessness. The muscles become
weak and shaky. and even the hands tremble
when at rest. An aversion to steady work is
also noticeable. The hearts action is rapid
and irregular. while pslpitation is frequent.
Nervous dyspepsia is also q frequent symp-
tom: the face becomes sallow. and the hands
and feet lose their natural warmth.
Tea drinking is claimed to have even q
more potent power for evil. These symptoms
may or may not be caused by tea and coffee
drinking, but it is aIarmingly true that
many of our brightest people complain of
the very troubles that DR.. Mendel attributes
to the use of these pleasant beverages. What
ever causes these signs of weakened nervous
system, the remedy is the same, Paine-s
Celery Compound. This pure food for the
nerves absolutely cOunteracts and removes
the harmful effects of stimulants, builds up
the wasted tissues of the body, and banishes
disease. dependency and despair. Promi-
neht members of the profession, successful
business men, leading society ladies, have
been brought back 10 the enjoyment of per-
feet health and vigor through the use of this
scovery. 1t is plainly your 0uty 10 your
family. your friends and yourself to use
Paine,s Celery Compound when suffering
and 'Outof-sOrts."
