get enough to buy 1900 bushels: 90
with that TO the sub. treasury also and
get enough cash to buy 10 900, and 80 on,
all the time putting this 50 per cent, or
four-ffths into more wheat. Garry il
clear down the scale ana he would have
stored about $4,000 bushels OF wheat in
the sub. treasury, on which he had drawn
81 per cent. Now there you have this
brilliant sub-treasury scheme OF Loucks,
ct al. A man with O,0aO bushels could
re-buy, aud re store until he had 81, 900
bushels 10 speculate upon or t. have the
government hold for him for n raise.
What snap that would be! Does any
sane man want the government ( an en-.
lightened people to go into that kind OF
business2
Judge Clifford also handled the CHEAP
wheat question, proving by his authori-
ties that in India wheat can be raised
for cents per bushel, and transported
TO market for Il cents more, but il
is raised by people who wear no clothes
and who simply exc out miserable ex-
isrence. Take of the 25 per cent duty it
takes to get such wheat into this county
and the price OF wheat would go so low
that American farmers would be driven
out Of the business. And if democrats
and independents hal their way they
would remove all protection.
GEN. G. A sILsBY.
The general is Que of those happy.
pleasant, and yet earnest speakers whom
IL is a delight to listen to, anl although
it was late when he began his address,
his bIg audience gave him applause all
through the speech He paid Miller and
Hand county a fine compliment for the
reception given the judge and himself,
and the grand demonstration for repub-
lican pri4ciples. He said he had spoken
TO larger crowds in the cities, but for
genuine, old time republican blow out
he mad to come to Hand county.
Then the eloquent little general told
briefly what the grand old party had ac-
complished IN its 80 years march CT
progress, SAID it was history, and while
some errors had been made, and always
would be, yet as whole il was the grand
est achievement OF man. On the other
hasd our democratic friends illustrated
how comparisons were odious. They
had opposed all leading measures, now
either laws or esta ablisbed policies of the
country. He compared Harison's calm,
cool, wise administration to that Of
Cleyeland's, especially with regard to
their actions on Dakota. Cleveland
wholly ignored every mention of this
grand new empire in his state papers;
evicted the honest Grow Creek settlers at
the bayonets point; chose Commissioner
Sparks, wEo said Dakota settlers were
frauds and not entitled to their lands;
said their titles were not good. driving
out capital, suspending hundreds of
claims; and drove both capital and inmi-
grants away from the republican north
west to the de mocratic southwest, to
surrou nd them with democratic senti-
ment. The general said, you all remem-
Der these things; how claims were can
celled, suspended, hung up. etc.
On the other hand Harrison had worked
earnestly for Dakota as a senator, and no
sooner was his election as president
flashed across the country than the
democratic house fell over itself to divide
US and let us IN, simply 10 rob republicans
OF their just credit. But that would not
benefit them, because everybody saw the
motive for such action. Harrison's every
act regarding South Dakota has been for
our interests, and We owe him debt Of
gratitude that ought to give him every
vote within the states borders.
Then the general took up the third
party, saying as they had no record 10
Judge by we must look at their promises.
He quoted portions Of the Omaha plat
form, preamble. declaration, or whatever
they cali it. from peoples party paper,
and completely pulverized it. He took
the first declaration that We are upon the
verge OF
MORAL, MATERIAL AND POLITICAL
RUM"
Considering first the MORAL lie. he asked
his intelligent audience II our women are
unchaste, or our men corrupt and immoral
He believed the American people would
hurl back this Insult by wiping the peo-
Piles party OFF the face OF the earth next
November. The MATERIAL lie was dis
posed of by their own platform, which
further along contradicted itself In stat
ing the annual agricultural product of
the United States to be worth many mill
