The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1892-10-15

The warm feeling of the republi-
can press for the poor misguided
democrats call swallowed up in fu.
sion," is very touching. 1t is, indeed
to them, a deplorable condition of at.
fairs. This same fusion marks the
downfall of the republican party in
North Dakota. The republican press
has reason to feel bad. They cannot
stop the drift. Burke, Spencer, and
the rest of that stripe are doomed.
The democrats Of this state found out
what the republican party did not
want and straight way went and did
it. The people have fused and the
people will triumph.

Democratic Pla form.

Section Is. We are opposed to all sulnp-
tuary laws as an interference with the in
dividual rights of the citizen.
Sec. Is. Upon this statement of prin-
ciples and policies the Democratic party
asks the intelligent judgment of the Ameri
can people. 1t asks a change of admins
tration and a change Of party, in order that
there may be a change Of system and q
change of methods thus assuring the main,
t~enance, unimpaired, Of our institutions.

Murat Halstead of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette says that the
lack of funds in the democratic party
can be attributed to their war upon
the manufacturer. The republicans
have no cause to complain on this
score. The manufacturer SIMPLY
turns over to them as a campaign
fund a portion of the "blood" money
wrung from the farming and labor
ing classes through the operation of
the Mckinley law.

The wheat ring Exposure.

"For many years the farmers of the
Northwest have been Systematically
plundered by a gang of heightened
respectable thieves. whose headquar-
tiers are in Minneapolis, who amassed
colossal fortunes while the farmers
have remained poor. These thieves
are leaders of the republican party,
which has been used to screen them
from exposure and punishment; and
even now when their crimes have
been successfully brought to light,
all the machinery Of the party is en-
ployed to shield them from the odium
which attaches to thieves and rob.
bers." The above appears in a pam
phlet recently issued. exposing the
methods by which the railroads and
elevators have robbed the farmers--a
fact long and we'll known. but never
before so strongly backed with proofs.
Before the Pioneer Press became an
apologist and attorney for the wheat
ring, it printed an article showing the
progress of a bushel Of wheat from
the farm to Liverpool, proving con-
clusively that the big profits on wheat
r made before ii is shipped from
Duluth and Minneapolis. Beginning
with Crookston as a primary market,
it showed that the difference between
what the farmer received at Crooks.
ton and what the same grade of
wheat sold for in Minneapolis was
from Is to 25 cents per bushel. The
freight from Crookston to Minneap-
oils is 101 cents per bushel. These
are average prices for months in a
term of years, and after allowing a
reasonable profit and charges. shows
a steal of from 5 to 10 cents per
bushel from the farmers. How this
Infamous gang treats an Independent
buyer who tries to give a fair price
for wheat, the following letter will
show. 1t is written by the president
Of the Empire Elevator company:
Minneapolis, Mimi. TO Independent
Grain Buyer, Sacred Heart. Minn.-Dear
Sir: We understand you have commenced
buying wheat at Sacred Heart, and inaugu-
rated your business by advancing prices

list prices, as We will stand no nonsense in
that Market. Nothing but straight-for.

Yours truly,
H. W. PRATT, President.
This is how they treat men who
try TO give the farmer a fair price for
his wheat.> Through the long years
when drouth and frost we're playing
havoc with Dur crops, this gang were
making from 40 to so per cent. profit,
as has been proved by their letters to

In the United States patent records
for the year 1853 q curious error ex-
lists. A child's cradle was patented
in that year and placed in the records
under the head of agricultural i'm

was not a married man and supposed
that a cradle could only be used for
harvesting grain.-New York News.
