TO BROTHER HUNT,
One of His Brother Democrats
Gives Him Some Very
Sound Advice.
Colgate, N. D., May 11th, 1892.

Colgate, N. D., May 1lth, 1892.
Editor Pioneer:
I resd in the Steele County Tribune the fol-
lowing lines:
ut is very evident that The Republicans of
Steele county are no. particularly taken with
the Protective Tariff Delusion. 1t would have
suited us better if it had been little more
definite, but then progress is evolutionary"
Bravo! Brother Hunt; we gladly receive
you into tie democratic folds Of our country,
aud we welcome you as a brother Of true faith
and sound doctrine. Let the good work go
on, until we have snatchel the reins OF goy-
ernment from the hands of our enemies (the
Repuhlicans) and have freed tho million Of
souls from the bondage Of Protective Tax, that
most deluslve OF all delus!ons Keep UP the
fight through the columns of your valuable
paper! Meet the foe at every turn! Lat your
banner be Free Trade and your weapons be
sound logic. Imploro your countrymen not
to lay down their arms until Free Trade has
been established! Tho masses will hurry to
your call, and all will hail the day wien vic
tory shall have perclled upon your Free Trade
banner, and the Republican party shall have
become a memory Of the past
History will in after years describe the fall
OF that once great party and attribute the
cause Of its overthrow to protective tariff
deluson which finally exploded, and the party
become extinct Then the democratic party
will assert her sway over tho mild domain Of
grateful people.
Now, Brother Hunt, Gas by that cndearing
name now greet you as a brother democrat)
l would suggest that you change the name of
your paper from that of ''Steele County Tri-
bune' to that Of "Steele County Democrat"
for your political influence is great. There
fore let your light shine, that your power may
be felt, is the earnest wish of
A BROTHER DEMOCRAT,

OF Mr. Balfour.

LONDON, May 19,-Comparatively few
members were present in the House Of
Commons this evening when Mr.. Balfour
moved second reading of the Irish local
government bill. 1t is the general belief
that the bill will never get further than its

little real interest taken in 10. Thomas
Sexton. in movingl that the house reject
the bill declared that its provisions were q
series of dishonest and shabby expsdlents.

explaining the bill in detail. In conclu-
sion, he declared that nothing but ma
tional legislature would satisfy Ireland.

Mr.. Gladstone to say whether he thought
the time had come to dispense with the
guarantees in which he himself proposed in
1886 for the minority in Ireland He firmly
defended the clause providing for trials by
county councils. He thought that consid-
cradle darkness hung over the rule.
Mr.. Labouchere contended that IL was not

ment was putting liberal label on their
policy in order TO palm Off shoddy wares
10 was monstrous waste Of time TO discuss
second reading Of the bill. The days of tho
government were numbered, and why

them, squander the time or the houSef

ADDS; "If protection is beneficial farmers
are equally entitled with manufacturers to
be protected. If Mr.. Goschen had any

The Chronicle says: "The Gladstonians
ought to fervently pray Lord Salisbury to
deliver a series of addresses until the brink
OF the election. Fair trade is an inclined
plane which has led European countries
like Gadarene swine into O rea of absolute
prohibition. We should not be surprised to
hear that this speech brought up dissolution
OF the unionist alliance. IL will certainly
modify the country's belief in Lord Sails
buryis statesmanshfp."
The Standard says: "Lord Salisbury's
remarks on free trade will be q surprise,
even to many of his followers. The facts
he mentioned are susceptible Of other inter-
pretations than those he placed upon them.
He would have acted more prudently by
emitting this portion Of his speech"

sided scheme would involve us In angry
conflicts, and leave the most serious part
