In the Bondage of Trusts.

There is an interdependence be-
tween the KcKinleyized Republi-
can party and the trusts. The
trusts supply the funds by which
the Republican party is to be re-
turned to power, and the party hopes
to pass the force bill, surround the
ballot boxes in the southern states
with bayonets and maintain itself
perpetually in power. In the Ian
guage of the New York Tribune,
there are 100 tariff measures in the
force bill. No voter who objects to
the domination of trusts and mo-
nopolies can vote to return the
Republican party to power. The
party is in the bondage of trusts
and is willing to subverse the liber-
ties of the people to permit their
masters to amass wealth at the ex-
pense of the toiling millions.-Utica

While the free trade-high tariff

rebellion during this political cam
paign-we would call it's attention
to the fact that there is soldiers
discharge in the neighborhood Of
the ARGUS Office which says that the
volunteer soldier whose property it
is, was discharged from the service
of the United States on the 9th day
of September, 1865, on account Of
the close of the war. If the Pho
neer man will read over some Of his
old files, back in the sixties, he will
doubtless be forced to believe that
the war did actually close about
that period. It beats all how ex-
ceedingly slow some people are at
learning such simple, little facts.

"Muchly" Regulated Tariffs.

The Republican tariff history is
a curiosity. All it's reasons of 1861
were repudiated in 1883. All its
reasons of 1855 were repudiated in
1890. 1t may be possible that in
1900 it will admit that the tariff is
only the instrument of manufacture
ers who have money to pay for leg
islation. We may have tariff
campaign on that issue-that it is
a fine thing to have public spirited
manufacturers who will pay liber-
ally for tariff legislation. Certainly
it would not be at all more absurd
than McKinley's present position,
though it would be little palmer.

relief may be claimed as right,
and that such relief should be
granted under the sanction of the

of their service, but with advancing

The only party in existence to-
day advocating free trade is the Re-

trade with some parts of the globe

That is just what reciprocity

OfNarsery Stock at the Alderman Nursery

The people of this vicinity have now
last chance to get homegrown, bear
ing-sizo fruit trees, dug and planted
under the personal supervision of the
buyer if he wishes.
In planting the big orchard, bearing
size trees (simlar to those we are now
offering) were planted in plat as an
experiment. These trees bear every
year good crop of apples, and up to
date have borne ninetecn-twentieths of
the apples raised in the orchard-a fact
easily verified.
The moisture in the ground insures
q good spring for planting. and the
stock will be closed out. Parties who
want an orchard quickly coming into
bearing cannot afford to miss this op-
portunity.

canvassing this part Of Dakota.
