The HERALD can now offer its snoscri-

scarcely an article more useful or valuable
to person or family than Webster's Un-
Abridged Dictionary. We can furnish a
srhscriher with this valuable work nicely
bound aud the HERALD for one year LOT
the almost trivial sum of two dollars and
twenty-five cents. This is putting the
Dictionary at one dollar and twenty i've
cents, not more than the cost of the small
school edition. This offer also applies to
old subscribers who, by paying for the
paper one year in advance, and the ao-
ditional sum of one dollar and twenty
FIVE cents can secure the hook. When

If the Independents could hear the
exhultant cry that has gone up from
the heart of every republican in this
state, through the press, they would
soon learn that the action Of their
convention in rejecting the offer Of
fusion with the democrats was a
very poor political move. The re-
publicans have been in terrible sus-
pense since fusion was first thought
of, but the leaders did not sit idly
in their tents and let events take
their course. Instead, for the past
two months they hava not spared
time, money or influence to thwart
such scheme, ,and the result is that
fusion is rendered impossible, and
unless democrats put an exception
ally strong ticket in the field another
two years of republican misrule
must follow.

making II votes from three states
which are admittedly doubtful states

making II votes from three states
which are admittedly doubtful states
for 1892. On the other hand more
than two. thirds of the votes cast for
Mckinley and Blaine at Minneapolis
were given by delegates from states
which voted republican in 1883, or
which are certain republican states
now.
The survey of these figures will
forcibly recall the words Of Senator
Wolcott of Colorado in his speech
placing Mr.. Blaine in nomination.
Holding in his hands list of Fed
eral officers who had been packed
into the convention as Harrison's
supporters, and shaking the list in
the face of the convention he said:
II hold in my hand a list of 13O
otfice-holding republicans. Nine
tenths of them live IN states where
there is a hopeless democratic ma
jority. The trouble in this conven-
ton comes not alone from these men,
but from the 1000 or 5000 office:
holders who swarm in the corridors
of the hotels and haunt the delegates
when they ought to be in Washing
ton attending to their business"
The figures justify Senator Wal
colts Indignation and alarm. Har-
rison was nominated by lis
subordinates from southern states
and the negroes controlled by them.
Without them he would never have
been in sight of a nomination. The
republican or doubtful states north
Of the Ohio river, where the major
ity of the republican vote necessary
to elect Harrison must come from,
were opposed to his nomination.
These are not pleasant figures for
republican contemplation, and it is
no wonder that the leaders go about
with hearts bowed down. No won
der that there is more bitterness ex-
hibited against Harrison within his
party than was ever developed by
any past republican candidate !for

of reciprocity, that protective duty
or a discriminating duty on .Ameri-
can importations did not exist in
any instance beyond 20 per cent on
the articles manufactured in this
country and sent to Brazil, and ask
republican senators to tell me how
it was possible for the American
manufacturer to compete success
fully with the British manufacturer
in Brazil with a discriminating duty
in his favor of only 20 per cent,
when it required so per cent to ena-
bic him to compete with the same
manufacturer in the United States .
That is a conumdrum worthy of
the intellect of my friend from Iowa.
l should like to know that. 1t is
not an original proposition, for it
came from ex-Speaker Reed, when,
after his tour in Europe, he landed
in New York. 1t was before his re-
cent affectionate intercourse with
the Secretary of State, and the first
comment made on the Mckinley act
and reciprocity was: 81 should like
to know how our manufacturer can
compete in Brazil with the English
manufacturer with a discriminating
duty of only 5 to 90 per cent when
it takes 46 per cent protection to
enable him to compete with the same
manufacturer in the United States"
Any republican senator who can
answer that will greatly distinguish
himself.
Mr.. President, see what fraud it
is. Somebody Is robbed. If they
can compete in the open market of
Brazil with from 5 to 20 per cent
discriminating duty. on the same
goods and beat the English manu-
facturer out of that market, why
does it take so per cent protection
here to beat the same manufacturer
out of this market? Somebody is
being buncoed, and there is no es-
cape from the proposition.

The Democratic state convention
will be held in Fargo, on Tuesday,
September 9th.

Although nothing definate has been
learned from Chicago of the doings OF
the Democratic convention, it is pretty
safe to predict that Grover Cleveland
will be again the nominee The state
of Illinois heretofore divided between
Morrison and Palmer, has, through the
intlaence of the latter, swung into line
an& will cast its forty-eight for the ex-
president. Indiana follows suit with
thirty votes. In the event of Cleve-
lands defeat it would not surprise us
IN the least to hear that Gov. Boies, of
iowa, had been nominated. New York
is still for Hill, but it is quite possible
Chat the Empire state will go to Boies
OF some western candidateif Cleveland
is not nominated on the first ballot.
Should Cleveland be nominated, Gray,
Of Indiana, will be vice president.

1cKinley,s Latest Explanation.

AS chairman of the Republican
National Convention, Mckinley de-
fines the purposes of the party by
saying that "we propose to raise our
money to pay public expense by
taxing the products of other nations
rather than by taxing the products
of our own people,
If this means that republicans
wish to extort from foreigners the
taxes we owe but that foreigners do
not own for the support of our gov
ernment, it is fraudulent and tyran-
nical in intent. If it means that it
is possible for us to avoid paying
taxes on the importation of foreign
wealth at our ports, it is absurd.
If it means Mckinley taxes are lev
led on imports for revenue purpose,
it is false; for democrat tax of 80
per cent on foreign products would
yield more revenue to the govern
ment than Mckinley tax of 800
per cent. If foreigners paid our
taxes they would pay us far more
under democratic tariff than under
a Mckinley tariff; for when the Nc
Kinley tax shuts out foreign wealth
altogether the receipts of the treas
ury are cut down accordingly, while
the foreign wealth admitted under
the democratic tariff for revenue
would increase the receipts of the
treasury and be added to the tota.
wealth of the people.
1t is no wonder that Mckinley
has of frequently muddled himself
in trying to restate the principle OF
his bill. That principle is taxation
to prohibit imports and to deprive
American citizens of the right Of
making contract for delivery in this
country of foreign wealth. In thi'
principle Mckinley believes, bu
the country will not indorse it, ant
in trying to obscure it he continually
involves himself IN fresh absurdities
He means well. The great troubl,
with him is constipation of tn,
brains.-Nerth Dakota Advocate.

NUGGETS OF HARD SENSE.
Pithy Points From MIR. Vests Recent
Tariff Speech III the Senate.

A1AAA . PccClA III Ihe SeNALcs
Mr.. Vest: Oh, yes, Mr.. President,
the glories of protection are always
like those of a new country-the
best lands are always just over the
hill in the next township, but you
never reach them; you never get to
the end of the rainbow.
You had an enormous wool duty
in 1867, and for few years wool
went up and then went down. In
1883 you reduced the duty, and it
is said that struck fatal blow. In
October, 1890, you put back a duty
greater than ever before, and still
the price of wool has gone down.
Now, the Senator says, wait a few
years. lie is like the Scotchman
who tried to see how cheaply his
mare could live, and just when he
got her down to one straw day she
died and the experiment failed.
How long is the wool grower of
this country to wait for these results
when we know they will not come
and cannot come? The most mex
plicable part of this whole thing is
that this enormous duty of e1.76 for
the wool manufacturers was put on
according to the Finance Committee,
at the instance of the wool growers
of the United States. The republi-
can politicians were amongst them
and said: "Why, here, Uncle Sam,
how many sheep have you got?'
"Fifty, sir" "Vote for Harrison
and the wool on every sheep will be
worth SO more. There is 500 in
your pocket, educate your children,
buy the old woman coffee and sugar,
and get you new coat at Mckinley
prices; Elysium is just in front of
you." They voted the republican
ticket; and what was the result
Down went wool, and Uncle Sam has
no coat, and his wife no coffee and
sugar, and the children go to free
school or not at all.
Mr.. President, when I.spoke here

CLAIM to be independent Of the aid
of democratic votes to secure their
election. How they can make this
claim good in the face of cold facts
is more than we comprehend. 1t is
certain that they can not cut down
the democratic vote of 1890 and they
will have to turn 10000 republican

impossible, but they may poll votes
