In reviewing the situation through
out the state the Minneapolis Tribune
correspondent takes occasion to speak
of the republicans of Burleigh county as
follows: I'm Burleigh county the ticket
is also exceptionally strong. Colonel
Little's experience az a legislator, his
young energy and acquaintance and
knowledge of law will not be lost to the
state; and in DR.. VIM. A. Bentley, fifteen
years ago a member Of the Minnesota
legislature, n of the purest, strongest
and best Of men, we shall gain another
strong member in the legislature, while
John Yegen, of the..salt of the earth, will
also be reelected" OF Congressman
johnson the same correspondent says:
congressman johnson is one of the
hardest worked men IN the state and
word comes from every part of the state
as to the good impression he is making.
He was able two years ago, but has I'm.
proved by the experience of the past
two years in public life. He shines as q
tariff and honest money talker.".~ ,

NORTH DAKOTA raises, say 100000 900
bushels of wheat annually, Manitoba
produces, say 100000 bushels. There
is a duty of Is cents per bushel on
Manitoba wheat. If the bars were
thrown down and that wheat admitted
free the effect upon our market would
be the same as if North Dakota should
suddenly increase it's product 3O,OOO,O0O
bushels. The effect of such an increase
would be to knock down the prices from
10 to 20 cents per bushel. To knock off
the duty on wheat, strike it off on wool
and put it back on sugar is just what the
democratic party proposes to do. The
republicans prefer 20 cents per pound for
wool and 20 pound of sugar for a dollar.
The democratic policy will give 1O-cent
wool and 10 pounds of sugar for a
dollar,

SPEAKING of tin and of the fact that
American mills produced twenty million
pounds last year calls up the fact that
the forty-two mills now in operation or
about to commence operations will pro-
duce the coming year 23O million pounds
OF tin plate, employing in the mines, and
to furnish the coal, coke, charcoal, and
other elements which enter into it's con.
structlon $4,000 men, and these in turn
will employ 5000 more people in one
way and another, giving 47yO0O more
families for the farmer to feed. Any
one who thinks he would rather have
these families fed in Wales or Australia
than in America is at perfect liberty to
vote the democratic ticket. Democratic
success mean the destruction of this in
dnstry.

WHEN the Mckinley law was passed
there was not a pound of tin plate
manufactured in the United States, and
yet, except the bright metal, which forms
only 8 per cent. of the whole, the United
States produces all Of the materials
which enter into it's manufacture.
Under the Mckinley law forty-two
works for the manufacture of tin have
been established, and 2O,OOO,OOO pounds
OF tin plate was manufactured in this
country in 1892. The tariff is 20 cents
per pound on tin plate, and yet not a
single instance is known where any
reputable merchant advanced the price
of his goods. The manufacturers make
more goods and are satisfied with less
profits. That is all.

In 1890 the prize of hard coal at the
mines was only 8 cents per ton less than
it was in 1889. There was no duty on it
and little change for the better or worse.
In 1889 the average price OF soft coal
was Sl.OS at the mines, but under a duty
OF 10 cents per ton the price of
this coal went down to II cents per ton.
Over production, the result Of vigorous
home competition had something to do
with it, no doubt, but the tariff had
nothing whatever to do with the market
only this: If the foreigner wanted to
sell his coal in u market he was COM
PEELED to pay into the treasury rs cents
per ton for doing so. AS he could get
but 2 cents for his coal he left the mar
ket to our American coal. No American
was hurt thereby. The American work.
ingman was benefited, for he had all the
market there was.

This talk about the decision of the
California supreme court against the
constitutionality of placing an X in front
of the party name at head of Australian
ballot, is all bosh, and has nothing to dc
with North Dakota. The North Da.
kota law provides that if an elector de-
sires to vote for au entire group or
straight party ticket all he has to do is
to place an x mark in front of the name
of the party he desires to vote for at the
head OF the ballot. That's all there is of
it. The law is plain. To vote a straight
republican ticket make an x in front of
the words Republican Ticket" at head
of ballot and NOWHERE ELSE.

JUDGE FhANDEAU and other speakers
Saturday night at Fargo proved con-
clusively that so far as they were con-
cerned the democratic party and it's
attendants and allies, the populists, are
free traders. The judge mentioned
stoves as an instance of the %iniqulty Of
the tariff. Now, the duty on stove
plates before the Mckinley bill was
passed was II of a cent per pound.
The Mckinley law reduced the tariff on
this class Of goods, but whether it had
been reduced or raised the price would
have been governed by competition
among American manufacturers. The
effect Of the tariff on stoves is simply to
preserve the American market for Ameri-
can manufacturers, and the tendency is
to increased production at less expense
and to lower prices. Take. the steel rail

AND now the Associated Press reports
that Indiana populists charge Mrs.
Leash with being a traitor to their aus
because she told the truth concerning
the treatment extended to her and
Mrs. Weaver in Georgia, when both
we're rotten egged, and General Weaver
run out of the state by the democrats.
And yet the populists of North Dakota
rejoice in the smiles of democracy and in
the interest of the solid south have
entered into a scheme to scratch North
Dakota from the republican column. If
the election is thrown into the house
through fusion with the democrats.
Cleveland will be elected president
and Reid v~ice-president. But where
will the populists be at? They have
debauched themselves in their own
stronghold. Have betrayed themselves
in the hands of their most %unrelenting
opponents. And for what? The spoils

OFFICIAL AND PERSONAL RELA-
TONS.

NOAN
A professor in a leading college said,
and recently, that the man who sold his
vote was more to be admired than the
man who staid away from the polls and
voted not at all, for the man who sold
his vote attached a cash value thereto
and the man who did not vote attached
to it no value, whatever. OF course,
there may be exceptions taken to this
statement. But, nevertheless, there is,
therein, a deal of food for reflection. The
man who sits by and allows his vote to
go by default, while he may be in every
other respect a good citizen, is, in this
one, lacking. He who has opinions,
should not fear to express them, nor
should he fear to cast his ballot for the
persons who correctly represent. his
opinions. Nay, more than this, it is
absolutely necessary for him to cast his
ballot, does he desire the name of a
good citizen. To allow an election to
pass, without the exercise of the right of
suffrage is as reprehensible as to vote
directly against those principles which
II believes to be right. Every voter
who pockets his vote aids directly in the
defeat of his party.
The u of a pocket vote is, usually,
a dissatisfaction with the candidate or
candidates who represent ones party,
and a Discrimination to vote the opposite
ticket. The result is natural, q decision
to refrain from voting. Any official in
these United States occupies two dis
tinct and separate positions-personal
and official. In his official capacity he
may be required to perform duties which
are repugnant to him personally. And,
conversely, he may be at times disagree
ably personally, and at the same time be
an excellent official. The confounding
of the two positions-the constituting of
official acts as personal and the consid-
Grafton of personal traits as officials
leads too often to a disagreement be-
tween voter and candidate. And the
voter who can subordinate his personal
feelings to party success is the true
advocate of his party. Republicans
should lay aside all personal feelings,
should bury the personal Ratchet be-
meath their considerations for party and
success, and the size of North Dakota's
republican majority will be surprising,
even to the most sangnine.

ONE of the greatest scientific triumphs
Of the age is the long distance telephone,

strated Columbian week in Chicago.
Regular telephone service has been
inaugurated between Chicago and New
York. It is just little expensive-$9

objection ID only q matter Of the pres
ent. Doubtless, in 9 few years the tele-
phone will largely supersede the

TIE following is a clipping from the
u%tterances of James B. Weaver, whom
the democratic leaders OF North Dakota
call upon the rank and file to vote for
on November 9th:
Again has the democratic party of Iowa
spoken. Why, sir, l am astOnished beyond
measure that a party with a record so
utterly vile and wretched and wicked
should be lost to all shame and decency as
to make an appearance before the loyal
people. OF Iowa. They should be trampling
In the wilderness OF oblivion, and never
more return.

industry as an example. When America
manufactured only 2,7O0 tons the price
of steel rails was $166 per ton and was
not increased by the amount of the
tariff. When we manufactured 1,SOO,-
600 tons, with a duty of only 1894 per
ton, the price fell to $29. And so you
can take the whole range of manu-
featured articles which we can and do
make in the United States. The prices
have not been increased by a protective
tariff. Take a tariff levied upon sugar,
tea, coffee, etc., and taxes for revenue
would be laid on hat class of articles,
and it does IN every instance increase
the price and becomes a tax. As the
TRIBUNE has before suggested to the
farmers: Go to your merchant, be he
democrat or republican, and ask him to
show you his price lists of two years ago
and his price lists now, and you will
lind them lower now than then. Take
nails for instance. The tariff on wire
nails is 2 cents to 4 cents per pound.
And yet these very nails can be laid
down in Bismarck at $2.O5 per 100
pounds. The Mckinley law reduced the
price on some sizes from 4 cents to 2
cents per pound, but all sizes are sold at
the factory close to or below the duty,
showing that the statement that the
amount of the duty is added to the price
is false IN this case, as it is in most other
cases where the duty is levied for pro-
lection. The whole theory CT the pro-
tective tariff is to build up manufacture
ing interests which will make what we
require and consume our surplus farm
products aud employ our surplus labor.
The revenue is levied on articles used by
the rich, upon their luxuries, while the
things which the poor use are admitted
free or the duties are so adjusted that
prices have not been increased.

"WE are the people" Who? All the
way from sixty to seventy million men,
women and children, inhabiting this
broad land, living, almost all of us, in
comfort and happiness, industrious, in
telligent, law-abiding. Women, in a
small proportion, as ~wage-earners, but
never, except in isolated instances, in
employments unsuited to their strength.
Men the ~toilers, winning bread and sus-
tanning homes for wives and children.
Children protiting by the advantages of
a magnificent school system, daily pre-
pairing themselves for successful, credit
able service in the battle of life. Indeed,
we are the people; not for worlds would
we exchange our lot for that of lord
ridden England, army-ridden Germany,
despot-ridden Russia, or any other coun-
try on the round, revolving globe. We,
the people, notwithstanding the foolish
lies of those who seek to deceive us
against the evidence of our own senses,
know right we'll that this is not a land
Of oppression, we realize the blessings of
prosperity, we appreciate the vast diff
ference between our situation and that
of u neighbors across the water, we
recognize the Importance of keeping our
situation thus superior and that it rests
in our own bands to do it. We know
that in the intercourse of nations we
must guard our own interests and those
of our dependents against the encroach-
ments of others, as we are compelled to
do as individuals, and that we must
ourselves provide for our welfare as a
nation or none will do it. We are aware
of the primal necessity of self-defense in
the larger life of the nation, as we'll as
in the home. Firmly believing that
charity begins at home and that the
welfare Of our own greater self is in
separable from that of our individual
selves, we refuse to recognize it as a
duty or a privilege to overthrow a sys-
tenn which has brought to us such i'm
mense advantages over others, or i'm
peril our prosperity by compelling the
~wage-earners of our country to compete
against the products of any stranger
whose wife and daughter, mother and
sister must join him in a mans labor at
the forge or in the mine, to earn a
pittance we would scorn to pay a child!
We are the American people, and we are
for America as against the world.

DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is often called the

Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of DR.. Prices, it is not essential to use it the moment

UNADULTERATED DEMOCRACY.

The following nuggets are qualified
from Judge Benefits mine of pure
democracy, the Fargo Sun, and are pub
lished for the amusement of his brethren
in Bismarck, who after twenty years are
still defeated in their long nourished
purpose of voting for a democratic presi-
dent. They can't do it. They can vote
for Bidwell, Weaver or Harrison, but
there are no democratic electors on the
state ticket:
Let North Dakota declare for the popu-
list party with its platform, Which in
dorses the subtreasury, fiat money and
other denominations, and values within our
s%hrinkage. Every property owner. the
day after the election, would find himself
worth less than he was the day before:
the magnificent growth and prosperity of
the state would be seriously interrupted,
if not paralyZed.
TX
If there is anything that makes US tired
it is to hear a democrat say that there is
little or no difference in the democratic
and Independent platforms. There is as
much difference as there possibly can be.
A democrat can no more stand upon an
independent platform than he can upon
the republican or prohibition.
-
Democratic stump orators are going
about the state endeavoring to explain
away the action of the democratic electors
in withdrawing. They say it was done at
the request of the national committee. Do
not believe it. That committee could not
andd did not stultify itself by first advising
a straight ticket and afterwards indorsing
a lot of political guerillas and bush.

How true it is and has been, that the
egregiOus blunders of the democratic

The November North American Re-
view contains another of James G.
Blaine's characteristic letters-loyal to
his party and his country. Mr.. Blaine
notes the lack of excitement attending
the present elections, contrasting it
with the turmoil of interest that charac-
terized the campaign of the elder Har-
rlson. This change in the public IN
terest in such contests, he suggests, may
be accounted for by the growth in popu-
lation and the consequent absorption in
vast commercial and financial opera
tions, and it may possibly indicate a
subsistence in the future of extreme
craftsmanship. Mr.. Blaine gives special
attention to the letters of the presi-
dental candidates. OF President Harri-
sons letter he says, among other things
that perhaps none OF his predecessors
has made 80 exhaustive and none a more
clear presentation Of the questions in
volved." Mr.. Cleveland's letter is sub.
jected to searching criticism. Mr..
Blaine finds that in greater measure
than Mr.. Harrison's it departs from the
platform of his party, in fact, that "Mr.
Cleveland has made the platform upon
which he is now before the people" and
that "Mr. Cleveland's departure from the
position Of his party's platform on the
question of free trade confirms the i'm
preston, which has been general, that q
large proportion Of the democratic party
believed in protection in some form"
