Silver Lake.

Our friend. A. C. WEIGH, County
Lecturer of Mcleod Co., writes us
that Silver Lake Alliance held a meet
ing Jan. 80, and decided to give an
entertainment April 25th, at Silver
Lake.
He states further in his letter that
if Hompe, Hompe'spaper, (The Hen
ming Advocate, or any other cunning
serpent. says it will be better for us
to burn up the money, than to secure
ourselves free markets, it is an
out and out hired tool of the wheat
ring of Minnesota.
On October 23rd, Silver Lake ALI
ance bought a warehouse at Glencoe,
and found in the first carload of wheat
shipped. clear margin OF 6 cts. be-
tween Glencoe and Minneapolis. Sill
yer Lake Alliance at once raised the
price 5 cts. per bu. and on the next
day they received a letter from a
prominent wheat dealeri in Minneapo-
lis stating that if they did not pay
the list price for wheat at their sta
ton, he would compel them to shut
up their warehouse. The Alliance
men have now bought more wheat
than they can get cars to ship.
He also urges the farmers to fall in
line and aid our noble President and
State Lecturer in the grand work
they are doing in our behalf.

IT now turns out that the plot to
"assassinate" Jerry Simpson, over
which the sockless statesman made
such ado before the election, was a
scheme contrived by Jerry himself,
together with the aid of the Popullst
and Democratic State chairmen, to
excite the sympathy f Jerry's con
stituents. The reelection of this
ridiculous charlatan to the House is
one of the travesties OF the campaign
and the manner in which he helped
to bring it about is even more absurd
than his old dodge of winning the
support OF the farmers by circulating
the report that he had dispensed
with hosiery.

GENERAL WEAVER, late Peoples
Party candidate for President, says
that his party is not a temporary
affair, but it is going to stay in the
field, and that it will be a factor in
every future campaign General
Weaver also says that he has received
private advices from Alabama which
convince him that he carried that
State by 5000 plurality, and that he
expects to make fight for it. He
claims that the Peoples Party holds
the balance of power in more than
three. fourths of the States and also
in the United States Senate after
March 4 next, besides controlling the
Legislatures of SIX or seven States.
He holds that this will enable his
party to act as breakwater against
vicious legislation, and enable it to
enforce economic questions, such as
the free coinage OF silver and the
adoption OF the American system OF
CURRENCY.

DEPEW ON TIE LATE ELEC-
TION

The Democrats have got To carry out
the promises of their platform, reverse
the protection principle, revive State
banks and demonstrate to the voters
that we can get cheap goods, have
more prosperity, better employment
and receive more money for their work
under the Democratic principles than
they have received under the protection
principle.
"They must either do this or leave
things as they are. If they leave things
as thew are they will be defeated at The
next Presidential election, not only as
incompetents, but as liars and frauds.
If they try to work along on the present
laws and then claim credit for the
prosperity of the country we Will cry
Stop Theft all along the line. 1t
they carry out their promises OF their
platform and we do have, as result,
greater prosperity in the country as
whole, then they are sure of their hold
upon the government for long term
OF years.
"If on the other hand, the reversal
of the protective principles ana the
revival of State bank currency produce
business disaster, wide spread bank
ruptcv and arrangement of credit, and
throw hundreds of thousands out Of
employment, the Democrats will cease

evidence might give rise. 1t is unfortu
nate that scamps like Lingo should be
at large in any community, and yet no
court could have convicted him of the
murder of Mrs, Miller without ontrag-
ing justice and the laws of evidence.
If Lingo had lived IN lower degree of
latitude he would have been sent to
the gallows long ago or strung up by a
mob on short notice in accordance
with the Merchantville theory that he
deserved to be put out of the way on
general principles. 1t is to the credit
of the machinery of Camden county
Justice that he has at last been treated
precisely as white man under the
same circumstances would undoubtedly
have been on the original trial.

.,.sc~--aifh the declaration of
the Chicago platform, will be support
ed by the opinions and preiudices
of great majority of Democratic
voters, especially in the Southern
States, upon which the party
depends for more than half its
strength in Congress or in the
election OF President. Others will
resist praying for more cautious
and tentative course, but they will
no longer be able to say, as they
said in Congress last year or at the
convention in June, that Democratic
success in one or two Eastern States
is necessary. The victory of the
party in great Western States on an
extreme platform must tend power
fullyto strengthen those who urge a
general reconstruction of the tariff
according to the declaration made at
Chicago.
History teaches that the worst
tariff the country ever had was the
compromise measure OF March 2,
1888, providing for a slow and
gradual reduction of duties extend
ing over ten years. The prostratlon
oil industries and of business which
resulted was then without precedent,
and has never since been equalled.
Actual reduction of duties at once,
far enough to open works to severe
competition, with prospect of further
reduction after year or two, closing
establishments one by one and fore
ing prices downward continually,
would probably do more harm than
any sharp and radical change, how
ever bitter its immediate con-
sequences. The danger is that the
strife of Democratic factions for the
mastery within the party, and the
continuing uncertainty how far the
dominant faction may venture to 60 at
the next session of Congress, may
bring upou the country conditions even
worse, as respects the tariff, than those
created by the gradual, but definite,
reduction under the act of 1888. 1t
will require more constructive states
manshlp than Democrats appeared to
possess in the last Congress to meet
these difficulties with any measure OF
success, and the sooner they take hold
of the task the better for the country.
If the Democratic party Can SO
modify the tariff, by any process
whatever, as 10 give the country greater
progress and prosperity than it has
realized, the Tribune wants to see
that done with the least possible delay.
The whole world has been learning by
experience, and Republicans are
extremely willing to learn If the lesson
brings greater prosperity. But if the
Democratic party is unable to make
any beneficial change, or when it acts
at all is certain to disturb and PROSTATE
industries, the sooner that is known to
the people who have intrusted it with
power the better for all, for the sooner
they can prepare to correct their

OPPOSITION to "class" legislation
in any form appears to be the key
note to the policy the Peoples party
will pursue in the future. So much
at any rate may be judged from the
series OF resolutions composed by
the Farmers Alliance OF Indiana,
representing 5000 voters and en-
bodying the demands which that
body will make upon the next Leg
islature of the State These resolu-
tons include the revision of so much
OF the tax law as will transfer to
capitalists and corporations their just
burden of taxation; the enactment
of salary law that will place the
compensation of public officers on g
Level with compensation that similar
services will command in the open
market; law requiring securities to
be stamped by the assessors and
rendering them void otherwise; de-
nouncing the legislation of 1891,
which created one hundred new
offices demanding the repeal of the
law OF 1891 which increased the
States indebtedness SI,4oo,ooo; de-
handing the abolition of the free
pass system on railways; demanding
the suppression Of the liquor traffic,
and demanding such legislation as
will prevent the alleged wholesale
robbery of the State school fund by
a system Of false enumeration. While
in spirit these resolutions are COM
mendable in the main, there are
practical difficulties to the consum-
nation of many of them. The
resolutions are characteristic of the
body they emanate from-radical,
indiscriminate and impracticable.
And the hodge-godge contains
thrust at almost every corporate
interest in the State

When the Autumn season
opened we announced the
greatest stock of Dress Goods
in any market. The same
statement could have been
truthfully repeated every day
could be intensified to-day
at every point.
Advertisements of special
ties and bargains appear else
where. But they are all match

times over. At your command
to-day in this store are bar
gains enough to make a dozen
ordinary stores wild.
Take a single price-thirty
seven and one half cents.
Over four hundred styles OF
Wool Dress Goods at that
price, nearly all of which were
soc a yard ten days ago.

THE TARIFF PROSPECT.

Five million workers in this coun-
try are especially interested to know
what the Democratic party will do
about the tariff. Many of them
voted with that party in the belief
that it would not do what it had
promised. The platform it had
adopted at Chicago meant nothing,
they reasoned, because the candi-
date had modified that declaration
by his letter of acceptance. With
equal reason others concluded that
his statements meant nothing, because
thew we're contrary to the platform
he accepted Yet to thousands of
voters it is matter of grave per
sonal consequence whether the party
will do what 1t promised, or what
its candidate promised, or something
else.
The uncertainty about industries
upon which many depend for their
livelihood cannot be beneficial. Yet
it must continue until the next Con
gress has acted. No change can
come until March 4, when the next
President will make oath to enforce
existing laws. On account OF differ
erces regarding this and other
questions, it is by some expected
that he may not be disposed to call
an extra session OF Congress, and
unless he does the laws now in force
must stand for more than a year.
Hence shrewd Democrats already
advise an extra session and a speedy
decision. There are hundreds Of
works which have been brought into
operation by the new tariff, and the
prospect of change will lead owners
of these to prepare for the removal
of duties which have made their
existence possible. Many hundred
others have been adopted during
the last two years to the production
of goods which could not prohtably
be made here il present duties were
abolished or much reduced. What
may be done in all these establish
ments to prepare for future change
can only be conjectured, though
there is little reason to expect that
establishments will expand their
business.
1t is, therefore, likely that if Con
gress does not meet until December,
1893, it will meet after year Of
unpleasant and costly uncertainty.
