Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1891-10-30

The independents head their cam
paign dodgers, THE Lawyer v. ..
the Farmer" Why is a lawyer
worse than a doctor? The indepen-
dents elected q doctor to represent
them in the state legislature last fall.
A lawyer cant any more than take
your money; a doctor al take both
your money and your life.
Rev. Frencl, will not remain here
the coming year but will go to
Henry, in the Watertown district.
Rev. A. Jameson Of Pierre will
have charge Of this church the com.
ing year. The COURIER regrets to
see Rev. French leave but while we
must wish him success in leaving
we extend Rev. Jameson a hearty
welcome.
A Mr.. Getting, of Sioux City, WAS
the guest of Rev. G. w. Freeman a
couple Of days in the first of the
week. Nh. Getting WAS a member
Of the Baptist church in Wisconsin
Of which Ed. Freeman was pastor.
He is nov 50 years old but looks re-
markably well for his age. He ex-
presses quite strong hopes of re-
publican success in Iowa this year.
Have you seen any thing in the
Leader about high taxes this fall?
You remember there was to DO ire
FORM" Why do we not see some
of these low taxes quoted in that
medium this fall to make votes, as
were the enormous" taxes under
republican rule last fall? Is not
silence an indication that taxes are
higher than ever under reform
management?
Say, have you heard any thing more
about that investigation of the report
that we published some months ago,
wherein we showed that expenses are
unnecessarily growing heavier this
year than last? You know the Lea
der wos going toshow that up. The
editor of that paper knows that he
can not make a better showing for
the party Of his adoption than is
already made by the COURIER
hence this silence.
When on their way back from
Aberdeen recently, Col. Jolley and
Senator Kyle happened to ride in
the same car, and, while so doing,
chatted about things generally.
When they parted Col. Jolley said,
"Ifthings 60 as we expect them to 60,
I shall be with you down at Wash
ington this winter" Senator Kyle
replied, Between you and me, l
shall not feel sorry il you will"
Voter, ifyou love your senator, help
to cause his wishes to be realized.
When the Sub-Treasury bill pro-
vides," All lawful money received
at the suh-treasury as return OF the
actual amount of money advanced
by the government against farm pro-
ducts as above specified, shall be re-
turned, with a full report Of the
transaction, to the secretary Of the
treasury, who shall make record of
the transaction aud CANCEL and DE-
srRoY the money SO returned" Is
not that as bad as when the govern
ment burned the paper money
called ina few years ago,and paid coin
therefor? Just think of passing a
law that will destroy money!
A case came up before Justice
Kiplinger last Wednesday to recover
one.third OF the crops on some land.
The suit was brought by WI afoe,
for whom Mr.. Wallace appeared and
Mr.. Beavers YVES the defendent, for
whom Mr.. Ericsson appeared. The
ease was decided in favor Of the
defense. In the course of the trial a
twelve years cid boy, the son Of
Mr.. Dafoe, was on the stand and Mr..
Ericsson asked himsif he knew what
an oath was. He replied Sure of
He'll" If more persons thought so
there would be less swearing and
more truth.
The COURIER Of last week said,"
That the managers of this trial are re-
sponsible for a LARGE share ofthe
expense thereof, referring to the
Cassidy murder case. The Leader
reads it like this: The COURIER last
week says the managers Of this
Cassidy murder) trial are response
ble for the expense thereof, and
then PROCEEDS to comment on its
own fabrication. Well, Mr.. Leader,
We are willing to leave it as you have
left it; it probably hits the truth
nearer. Our idea is expressed in
our article, however.
Ignatius Donnelly did not speak
at Vermillion last Friday, but Sem
ator Kyle did and also the secretary
Of the National central committee of
the peoples party. Senator Kyle
spent several hours with the repub-
licans IN the court house at Vermill.
ion, talking to them on the political
questions Of the day. He there re.
peated his former statement in rela-
ton to Col. Jolley. He also admit
ted 10 Mr.. Gilmore, n man we'll post
ed on financial questions, that he
had misstated the money question in
his speech. Such are the reports
that reach us.

The Sub-Treasury plan carries
with it the ability to rob the people
of the bulk of their money when
their is a poor crop, for the money
depends upon the crop; good crop
and pleanty of money, and poor
