The defeat of Mr.. Work, the reg.
ular democratic nominee of the
Fourth district, will be regretted by
a great many democrats, despite the
fact that good, capable man and a
democrat carried off the honors.
We understand that the impression
had somehow. gone abroad that if
Mr.. Work was elected there would
be IN unnecessary outlay of public
money for certain purposes. How
much truth there is in the report
or what real effect it had upon the
election we are unable to say, but
it probably assisted materially in
his defeat. We do not believe that
such would have been the case had
he been elected, as Mr.. Work hold,
large interests in the county anc
would naturally be as much inter
ested in its financial welfare as any
member of the board. 1t speaks
we'll of the Fourth district, how
ever, when two democrats are op
posing candidates without repub

Supreme Court Decisions.

BISMARCK, Oct. 31.-In the case of
the State of North Dakota, defendant
in error, VS.. John Hass, plaintiff in er-
ror, an order has been entered wherein
the judgement of the district court of
Cass county was affirmed.
Chief Justic Corliss wrote the opin-
ion, and it is said to be elaborate.
In brief, the opinion holds that the
title of the prohibition act does not
contain two subjects, as is not in con-
tlict with the state constitution.
The next chapter in the Haas case
will be presented on Nov. 6, when the
attorney of Mr. Haas will make an ap-
plication for his discharge; this, after
he has served eighteen days of his SEN
tenco. The application will be made
to Judge Mcconnell and will excite a
good deal of interest.
In the case of Grandin Bros, respon-
dents, VS.. LaBar, appellants, LaBar
wins. The court holds that to appoint
receiver without notice to defendant
was wrong.

THE HOME MARKET.

J. 81. Tewnly, in F. S. & Home:
Please allow me to suggest a change
in one sentence in the chopped feed
department of F. S. & H. for Septem-
Der 18th, viz: "Where, oh where, has
the home market gone!"
We have no such market, we never
had one to ''go." Protection has been
promising us one for many years, but
it has not yet reached us. Now why
not change itt to "Oh, when, tell us
when will the home market Gomez" ;
The two strong arguments used by
its advocates in favor of protection ar
guments that are resorted to when all
others fail, are: First, it protects the
American laborer in mines and factor
les from competition with the pauper
labor of Europe, and gives him better
pay for his labor.
Second, by increasing the number Of
factories it increases the number of
employees in them, and by increasing
the number of consumers creates
home market for agricultural products.
The tenth census of the United
States shows that nearly one third of
the "persons engaged in manufactures
and mechanical industries were for
eign born. That the employers of
labor in such industries are importing
foreign laborers, because they can be
employed at lower wages than the
American laborer is willing to work
for, is a fact too well known to need
discussing here. The same authority
shows the average annual wages paid
to each employee in the above named
industries was, in 1880, thirty dollars
and sixty cents less than in 1870, a de-
cline in wages during decade of pro-
lection.
The statistical abstract of the United
States. twelfth number, shows that Of
the three leading agricultural products
exported, wheat, corn and cotton, the
percentage exported in 1859 was of
wheat, 2O.S1; Of corn, 0O.24; Of cotton,
57yO1. In 1888 the per cent of wheat
exported was q. .35; of corn, 3.55; and
of cotton, 69.22. The above figures are
taken from the two extreme years
given in the tables from which they
were taken. Oh when, tell us when
will protection give us home market
for agricultural products at the present
rate Of progress9.

There may be spice of envy in
the comments of some of those who
affect to be SO troubled over the ba-
rel of whisky his good friend Car
negie sent President Harrison from
Scotland. The amount has been un-
derstated. It was eighteen and a
half not fourteen gallons, and it was
rare stuff, selected by experts. The
value in Scotland was IS a gallon,
and the duty paid was $3.50 per gal
Ion, all paid by the generous friend
who SO delicately recognized the
need Of the toiler from Indiana. It
is not the only benevolent act credi-
ted to the gentleman. Last year he
gave $4,000 to aid in the election of
Mckinley. t is true that he ad-
mitted that his daily profits from
the steel rail trust reached about the
same figures, but that is his good
fortune. That donation might be q
recognition of the services done for
his trust by NICK Kinley, and not as in in

cation Of good fellowship and hu-

A WRONG TENDENCY. .

It is passing strange that the advo-
Gates of high protection will persist in
believing they must believe, or, being
honest, they would not SO persistently
assert it-that there is no middle
ground between our existing tar,ff sys-
tenn, with its ever increasing schedules
and Stree trade" It is passing
strange, because the men whose disci-
pies the advocates claim to be we're
unanimous and emphatic in declaring
that tariff for protection should be
and would be temporary; that the slid
ing scale of its schedules should be
downward not upward. The tariff of
the original protectionists was to pro-
tect manufacturers and none others;
no claim was ever made by them that
labor in factories would be benefited
a jot; protection in their estimation
was what experience has amply demon
strated it to be in fact, a subsidy to
manufacturers; protection was to build
up, strengthen and enrich manufac-

truth wore .'infant INDUSTRIES" but
with the implied and expressed under
standing that the maximum tariff was
the initial one, and that all subsequent
changes were to be reductions.
The tariff debates in congress from
1923 to 1840 furnish ample evidence
that the central thought of the protec-
tionists Of those days was to keep on
the pulse Of manufacturers the skillful

If the editor Of the Pembina Pho
nesr Express would take the trouble
to look up prices he would find that
there has been material advance
in prices since the Mckinley bill
went into effect. How could it be
otherwise since the tariff on nearly
all the necessaries of life has been
raised from 20 to 100 per cent.
Here is an unrefuted statement made
by Gov. Russell in a recent speech
delivered at Lawrence. Mass. The
statement was prepared for him by
a large retail store Of Boston, and
we would recommend its careful con-
sideration to the editor Of the Pion-
eer Express:
Gloves cost at retail from 25 to
SO cents a pair more than they did
before the Mckinley law was enact
ed.
Common lace curtains that cost
374 cents pair now cost IS cents.
Those that cost So now cost $2.4O.
Plush garments that cost $40 now
cost$25.
Pearl buttons have advanced from
$40 to $14a gross. Shirt buttons
are $l.17 dozen, instead of 75c.
Common wooden Astrakhan costs
$3.50 instead of $3.50 yard.
silk-plush garments have advan.
ced from SO to $l3; woolen hosiery
from 81 to SO cents a pair.
The rates of duty on certain kinds
of cloth, including kersey, corduroy
cloth and French cloaking, have ad'
vanced 80 per cent, while the prices
have advanced from 80 4-10 to AZ
4-lO per cent.
Underwear has advanced from 10
to 25 per cent. Blankets have ad'
vanced 81 per cent, and manufacture
ers refuse to accept orders for future
delivery. Neckties have gone up
from 338 to SO per cent. English
waterproof cloths that cost $l.75pel
yard now cost 1926.
Glassware has gone up from 8 to
go per cent, and crockery from s to
12 per cent. The price of common
foreign window glass has advanced
nearly >as per cent; Of ground glass
lo4 4-1o per cent; of common Am
erican window glass, from l79 tc
1873 per cent.
Anybody would know in advance
that these things must be true; but
if he wants the evidence to prove it
here is some of it ready for use.
