HURON, s. D., Nov. 1s.-The South
Dakota railroad commissioners were in
session here last night devising means to
relieve the grain blockade that has been in
creasing in magnitude for the last two
weeks. The storIr delayed hyaahing, and
the farmers have taken advantage offkhe
opportunity to haul their grain to market,
filling elevators, warehouses and sheds on
all the railroad lines with wheat.
BUYERS STOP BUYING.
In many instances buyers have been COM
PEELED to quit buying for want of storage
facilities. The farmers have hauled their
wheat for miles 20 Market only to be dis
appointed In making sales, and were obliged
to hauli back home. Hundred of Thousands
OF bushels of wheat are piled in
heaps or sacked in the open fields, and not
more than one-half of the crop is vet
threshed. The wheat receipts at Duluth
Minneapolis and st. Paul, from South
Dakota alone up to this date far exceed the
entire shipments OF last year, aud the crop
can scarcely be said to have commenced
moving.
The daily demand for cars exceeds the
suplyby from 800 to !, 800. it is said. The
commission says the railroad companies are
doing everything possible to lift the block
ade, but it is simply impossible to make any
inroads upon it, as the farmers are rushing
their grain into market with all possible
speed.

There never have been but two great par
ties, with directly opposing principles in this
country, because there has not been, just as
there cannot be now room save for two. Ia
the very nature of things only two great par
ties are simultaneously possible in any c0un-
try-a truth amply attested by past and pres
ent history. A countrys requirement IS for
the marshaling in opposite array OF two sets
Of principles, which are competitive and
stimulative while checking and restraining.
for its healthy growth and higher develop.
ment Since their foundation, the United
States have been controlled either bv the
Federalist-Wbig- Republican party or by the
Democratic party. Factions may spring from
the ranks of either of the grea. parties. but
such interposition can only be temporary,
however serious or lasting may be its effects.
The cause of this requirement for two sets Of
opposing principles can no more be fathomed
than the so-called positive and negative" of
electricity can be fathomed all that can be
seen Is that the requirement is demonstrated
in actual practice.
IN 1850 the Democratic party was shorn of
its strength by a split, and the Republican
party therefore. won at the polls without Sc
curing the majority of all the votes cast.
Viewed from the standpoint Of party mechan-
ism. It IS clear that here was piece of gross
msmanagement III the Democratic ranks. and
1t was attended by very serious consequences.
Nevertheless the Democracy lived on, and to-
day has more than recovered its former
strength. Ii survived and is now strong in
order to right great wrongs and enormous
abuses which its whilom and successful oppo-
nent' the Republican party. cannot redress,
for the simple reason that this party has been
the main creator of those wrongs and abuses.
The turning out of wicked and corrupt Re-
publican party and the putting in of an
honest, benehcent Democracy in 1892 will
prevent another striking instance of the ever
continuous play of the interacting and check
ing forces.
Though "a third party" is as impossible of
existence in this as in any other land. splits
or iactious islas may again occur to disturb
either OF our two existing parties. The Far
mers' Alliance might create disturbance in
the Democratic fold for instance. but. far from
any Likelihood OF such action appearing at
the present time, the prospect is that this
special agitation will rebound 10 the signal
advantage Of the Democrats.
Properly speaking 1t would be missioner

TO say that the Alliance has principles. since
only great party can set up and establish o
code Of principles. The Alliance cannot be,
nor does it even claim 10 be, party. IL Isl
body with grievances and very solid ones,
too. calling for redress The primary or i'm
mediate cause Of these grievances must be
removed first namely. political OPPRESSION
the secondary cause. or the farmers own
shortcomings, can only DO eliminated after
wards and by degrees.
Their grievances are patent. Through the
fundamentally Of the Republican party the
interests of agriculture have been set at def
ance. the market Of the United States stands
actually cornered against them by band OF
sharpest robbers. The manufacturing ana
moneyed corporations, having selfshly and
fraudulcntly concentrated the bulk Of the
country's gains into their own hands, COM
pei the tillers Of the soil to buy whatever
they want at the dearest rates and tosell their
own products. if at all, at the cheapest. IL
IS indeed high time, in view of such
wretched condition. that agriculture should
seek TO right itself by resorting to the mod
ern, practical method of cooperation. Ger
tainly its union" deserves to succeed, pro-
yided it be kept within legitimate limits and
is managed with sound judgment. This
proyiso Of course excludes anything like wild
schemes ignoring the equal interests of all
and restricts 10 healthy cooperative action.
The farmers in their movement must hold
steadily to one single aim-to get the oppres-
sive Republican load removed from their
backs. Under the circumstances. they can
alone act will the party whose principles and
practice Offer the surest guarantee OF giving
this much needed relief 1t is right that they
should hold conventions and discuss their
wrongs and wants. But, in order TO carry
their point. in order 70 win at the polls. they
must vote for candidates who stand firmly by
the principles Of the Democratic party, and
afterwards they must exert their influence for
the passing Of tho Democratic measures and
laws which are to benefit the whole country.

THE WOOL TARIFF.

One OF the most generally interesting State
campaigns which has ever taken place in the
history Of the country is that now being con-
Quoted in Ohio. because upon its issue is i'll
volyed the probable decision OF the next presi-
dency And one Of the most prominent and
important factors in this campaign is the e.
feet of protection on wool, the production Of
which is an industry in which the people Of
Ohio are largely interested.
When the Mckinley bill was before Con
gess its champion, the present Republican
candidate for Governor Of Ohio, told his con-
sttuents that one Of the first effects Of that
measure would be an advance in the price OF
wool Yet exactly the contrary has been real
lied, the product having steadily declined IN
value and the decline is still Going on. Major
Mckinley is industriously endeayoring, with
all the ingenuity Of which he is master. to ex-
plain away this. 10 him. most unfortunate
circumstance. but he. naturally. can make
but little headway with the ONO sheep raisers,
whose falling on of receipts is an argument
too realistic and substantial TO be refuted by
Mckinley's plausible explanations, master of
sophistry though hemay be. Butthe declinein
price is not the only irrelragable argument
which can be presented.
The indianapolis Sentinel gives a very in
torc5ting history of the effect which prohibit
tory tariffs have always had on wool. It
says
This country is obliged 10 import wool,
because we do not. and apparently cannot,
raise either the quantity or the quality neces-
sary tor all manufactures. Some grades OF
foreign wool are necessary for miXtIe with
domestic woods TO produce desirable results
in yarns. n consequence of this fact we
find a decrease Ill the price II do
nestle woods whenever there Is an in
crease in the tariff. and vice versa. for
the manufacturer compensates his loss
in increased duties by using shOdcy
and other substitutes until domestic wool IS
reduced. We began the protection Of wool IN
1921, with The price 40 - cents q pound. In
four years Of gradual decline 1T reached -
cents. The tariff of 1870 reduced the duty
and SO did the tariff of 1893. nder both wool
rose and maintained an average OK nearly 80
cents for twelve years. I'm 1872 the tarlh was
raised and wool went down To 80 cents In
1916 the tariff was reduced and the prlco of
wool increased. as 1t did also under the
further reduction OF ls5l.
During the civil war he price If wool IL
