sold. j. S. Noodle returned Wednes-
day from Chicago, where he has been
negotiating, with capitalists in re-

HARVEST EXCURSIONS.

The Chicago and Northwestern and
Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley
railroads are advertising in eastern cities
the harvest excursions from all points
east as far as Chicago for the coming
season. Tickets will be sold at rate of
one fare and third to all points in
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska,
through which this line runs. The
dates are August 25, September Is and
20, and tickets are good for thirty days.
IL there ever was a time when the
people of the Hills should take advant-
age of the situation to show their eastern
friends what the capabilities of the soil
are in this part of the world it has now
arrived. Wake up, and avail yourselves
of the opportunity to advertise the re-
sources of the Hills in practical way.
Send representative men east to work up
these excursions, bring the tourist and
capitalist here and prove to them that
we not only grow big crops of grain, but
have gold, silver, tin and dozen other
valuable minerals-as we'll as having the
finest live stock country in America.
This is the only way to get to the
front. Otherwise die of dry rot.

SHERMAN SPEAKS.

In Reply to Statements Made by the Peo-
Pies Party Orators Regarding Banks.
Toledo Blade: Some time ago lead
ing light of the farmers alliance of Cali
fornia was interviewed by Denver
paper on financial questions. The inter-
view has been republished in many west
ern peoples party papers with unquali-
fed commendation. In the interview he
used the following fallacious reasoning
in support of the allegation that 'the
government loans money to national
banks at per cent"
The power of the government to issue
legal bonds, paper money, has been es-
tablished by the United States supreme
court, aud the proposition to lend it to
the people at rate not to exceed 2 per
cent on cultivated lands at one-half their
value is certainly as safe transaction as
the present scheme by which it lends to
the national banks at per cent interest
80 per cent of the par value of it's own
promises to pay Omitted States) bonds.
IL have 100000 in United States
bonds and deposit them with the treas
urer, the government permits me to loan
80 per cent of the face value of the bonds
in national bank currency without inter.

terest on my bonds at Al per cent.
pocket the bank notes and lend them te
the farmers at IL per cent, or any rate
can force them to pay. Now, is the
bond any better security than the land
or is there any better reason why th'
government should lend to banks at
per cent than to farmers at per cent?
This is as compact and clear state
ment Of this fallacy as has been made
and emanates from leader of the peo
, Piles party. The Blade sent the abov
extract to Hon. John Sherman, asking
him to discuss the matter. Below
given Senator Sherman's reply:
MANSFIELD, Ohio, Aug. Ia, 1891

SHEEP RAISING IN THE NORTHWEST.

i
The possibilities OF the development Of
the American wool growing industry
cannot be appreciated by anyone who
has not visited the northwest very truth
fully remarks leading eastern ex-
change. Here are millions and millions
Of acres adapted to sheep raising, but
not utilized, yet we continue to import
more than half the wool we consume.
Almost limitless wealth lies stored in the
undeyeloped sources Of the Dakotas,
Montana and Idaho. The wheat from
the Red River valley in the eastern part
Of North Dakota is valuable enough and
sufficiently near to eastern markets to
make it's cultivation highly profitable.
But further west, where the soil becomes
more stingy, where the crops grow
smaller and more uncertain and the
freight charges and the time consumed
in reaching market grow, grain growing
or vegetable growing is out OF the ques-
tion at present. But sheep or wool can
be proftably transported great distance
to market. The northwest is ripe for
sheep raising.
In central and western North Dakota
there are millions of acres, including the
Bad Lands. covered with excellent sheep
feed the year round. Cattle do well
there, too, but in some places water is
scarce, and provision always ought to be
made for housing animals in case Sc
we're storms should come up. Sheep
need very little water and can be much
more economically and quickly housed
and fed in an emergency than can cat
tie. For these reasons, sheep raising is
more profitable for Dakota.
Dakotans are rapidly finding this out.
Last year their focks were augmented
by importations from other sections Of
at least 100000 head. Another lesson
seems to have been learned by sheep
raisers in the northwest. They have dis
covered that the best results come from
small f1ocks, so there is room for thous-
ands of new focks upon those wild lands.
The Mckinley bill has done some
thing to remedy the suicidal policy of
excessive importations Of foreign wool,
but the experience of this year has
shown that even present rates of duty do
not guarantee our wool growers from in
furious competition of foreign wool,
when, as is the case this year, the price
of wool in the worlds markets has been
abnormally depressed. Our wool grow
ers must have an absolute guarantee in
our protective legislation that no foreign
er will be allowed to depress his prices.
Then will the wild lands of Dakota be
quickly occupied by prosperous flock
masters.
The country filled up by an industrial
population the development of manu-
factures in the northwest will be next in
order,

NEWSPAPER NOMINATIONS.

The name of DR.. A. s. Stewart, of
Hot Springs, has been prominently men
toned as candidate for congress to fill
the seat made vacant by the death of
John r. Gamble. Outside of Penning-
ton county man the doctor would suit a
large majority of the southern Hills
Journal.
The death of Congressman Gamble
will necessitate an election this fall.
There are many who would be only too
willing to step into the vacancy; but we
predict the lucky man will be republi-
can and hail from the Black Hills; the
general feeling seeming to be that that
section is entitled to that honor.-Blunt
Advocate.
Edwin Van Cise, of Deadwood, is the
most eligible candidate in the Black
Hills, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Congressman Gamble. He is
honest, brainy, and conservative, and at
the same time gentleman who has the
welfare of the whole state at heart. He
would endeavor to do the greatest
amount of good to the greatest number
of people.-Minnesela Star.

cure its circulating notes by deposit of
a greater amount of these United States
bonds. Nor is the organization of
bank an exclusive privilege, but it is one
open to all citizens of the United States
upon the same terms and conditions.
These bonds are not the property of the
United States, as the paragraph assumes,
but the debt of the United States, held
and owned by individuals. The stock
holders have to buy these bonds at their
market price and now have to pay a very
large premium on them. They are the
debt of the people, considered the high
est possible security. They are the
property of the bank, which, like any
other holder, is entitled to the interest as
it accrues. These bonds are deposited
with designated officer in trust, to col
lect the interest and pay it to the own
ers of the bonds, but to hold the princi-
pal as security for the outstanding
notes of the bank. The government
pays nothing to the bank except what it
would pay to any other holder of these
bonds-the interest as it accrues. But
the United State levies upon the bank a
tax of per cent upon it's circulating
notes, partly to reimburse expenses in
CURED by the government in printing
the notes, in order to have the most
ample security against counterfeiting,
and also tax upon the corporate fran
chise granted by the government to the
bank. How any sane man can regard
this transaction as loan by the United
States to the bank is beyond my COM
prehension. Whatever may be said OF
national banks or the policy of supplant-
ing them by some other form of circu-
lating notes, this can be said of them
that the system has been the most sue
cessful banking system ever devised by
man. No one has ever lost dollar on
the circulating note of any national
bank, and the government has paid
nothing to them except the interest that
it would pay to any other creditor upon
it's bonds.
The business transaction which the
peoples party invites the United States
to embark in is to loan to anybody who
can furnish the requisite security, United
States notes, the aggregate amount oi
which is not fixed. No provision is tt
be made for the payment Of these notes
but they are to circulate as money with
ont redemption or the promise OF re
demption. When issued they are simpl,
an irredeemable paper money, precisel.
; similar in character and form to Cont
mental money and the French assignats

tionary war by the peoples party 9

fore, issued circular inviting the several
towns, boards of trades, business clubs,
etc., of the Hills to send delegates to a
convention to be held in Deadwood on
Wednesday, September 9. It is certain
the legislature will not make an appro.
priation even if it should be convened
hence if South Dakota makes an exhibit
in 1892 it will have to be done with
funds raised from private sources. The
