Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1892-12-23

One of the most gratifying exhibits Of
Canton's prosperity and an evidence Of
financial confidence can be found in a
comparison of the published statement of
the Lincoln County Bank. this week, and
statement published in the LEADER
last February. -.
Resources and Liabilities Jan. e. 8 s., ,sois1.
Deposits Jan. 90, s26 80.
Deposits Dec. 92, $S2, ,405, 80.
This makes a gain in deposits for
eleven months of $50. 94O,97, and an in
crease of resources and liabilities in the
same time of $44, ,2OO,76. These compari-
sons show phenomenal increase in a
town the size, of Canton. There is per-
haps few banks in the state that can
show such magnificent increase, and it
has grown month by month. 1t shows a
remarkable confidence of the people in
the bank and it's management. Cashier
Brown has just cause to feel proud of
his magnificent success, for to him alone
belongs the mastery management of the
bank and the courteous treatment of
customers.

HOW Mr.. xEwLANDs Is DOING
THIN6B.

The course pursued by Mr.. Newlands
at the Minneapolis Convention is entitled
to the praise Of every friend Of silver
everywhere. He has stated his ultima
tum to the convention-free coinage OF
silver or nothing. II the convention re.
fuse ia put free coinage in it's platform,
then he will visit the Democratic Con-
vention ct Chicago, and will see what
they will do. II they adopt free coin
age, he will act with the Democrats. II
the Democrats refuse to adopt free coin
age, then he stands with the people Of
Nevada in opposition TO both parties and
for free coinage anyhow, with some Pres.
idential candidate yet TO be named.-

PREDICTED HEN OWN DEATH.

PREDICTED HER OWN DEATH.
A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Times Democrat writes from Augusta,
Ca, as follows: Saturday afternoon at
6:20 o'clock little Addie Collier. four
teen years Of age, who lived with her
parents ct 1880 Florence street, went to
meet her Maker. Her death was Q most
singular one, from the foot that when
she said she would die. at that very time
did her soul leave It's body. Addie had
been having slight attacks Of fever for .
week or so previous to the day she died.
but she was not so unwell as to be con.
fined to her bed. In fact, the Last two
or three days she had been going to school
and playing with her companions. On
Saturday morning after she got up she
said: 1.-THE great white man 10 coming
for me just before dark" She repeated
this several times, but no one paid any
attention to it. Later in the day she told
several of the neighbors the same thing.
II have seen the great white man way
up In the skies, and he said he was COM
ing for me just before the sun goes
down." she said. As the day wore on
she kept repeating this. She went to bed
in the afternoon and began to say her
prayers. The family and . number Of
the neighbors who had heard what she
had said surrounded the bed, and just as
the clock On the mantelpiece tolled the
hour Of six Addie said, 1.-THE time 10
nearly come" Slow the minute hand Of
the clock moved IN, and more anxious
became the watchers. When the hand
reached 6:20 O'Clock Addie said: GOOD.
by. world; I an going up in the Skies"
and as the last word left her lips her soul
took it's fight.

HOW THE DEnOCRArs LOST
OREGON.

ORk0V0s
In an interview 81 Portland, Governor
Psnnoysr, referring to the late election
In Oregon. said:
1.-THE Democrats could easily have CAR
sied the State il they had not abandoned
free coinage and Endorsed Grover Cleve-
land. From 5000 TO 10000 Democrats
were driven from the Democratic ranks
TO the Peoples party by the open treason
10 principle and the blind idolatry Of the
late Democratic State Convention, which
changed the party platform to suit its
plutocratic candidate"
That 10 straight talk. and no doubt
truthfully explains the situation. The
Democrats will lose the country In the
same way and for the sams reason II the
Chicago Convention with blind zeal shall
persist in nominating Grover Cleveland.
In that case . large percentage Of the
party all ovsr the land will be driven
into the support Of the Peoples party.
We hope Governor Peunoysr may be
nominated st Omaha. We would rather
vote for him for President than almost
any man whose name has been mentioned
by any one in connection with that great
office. Governor Psnnoysr is IN able
man and has the courage to stand By his
convictions.

The Denver News in . late issue pub
Iished the affidavit Of +. A. Luchenbseh.
which reveals one Of the most startling
cases Of jobbery ever brought 10 light in
the history OF the country. Mr.. Luchen-
bach is one Of the best known and sub
s~tsntial citizens Of Colorado, and is
highly respected. II was in the year
1874 that he visited London TO place
some oil properties, and while there was
the guest OF Mfr. Earnest Seyd. One day
after dinner the conversation turned into
the question Of bribery in Parliament.
and Mr.. Seyd declared that no such cor
ruption existed there as In America. He
enacted q pledge from Mr.. Luchenbsch
not to reveal what he would tell him un.
ill after his death. This was agreed to.
He said: 81 went 10 America 10 the
Winter Of 1928, authorized to secure,

"to give me the names Of the members
to whom he paid the money. but this he
declined to do"
And now President Harrison and all
the gold bugs tell ms that England and
Germany will join voluntarily In q
scheme to restore silver to the place II
occupied before they paid their money
to have il disgraced and driven from the
monetary field. Was there ever such
transparent humbug attempted as ths
proposed international monetary confer
ence undertaken by the present Admin
istration, Cleveland tried one. and ther'
was one before that. This makes thu

people to bridge over . partisan ~exigenoy

The people will not discuss the tsHh

hearing anything more concerning that
chestnut. Money is the issue. not tariff.

pie into tariff discussions-they won't

That is we'll said. The tariff as an is
sue does not begin to figure In Importance
with the money question. As 9 matter
of fact IL cannot be materially reduced or
modified. and at the same time produce
the necessary revenue to support the
Government. The fixed charges against
the Government under existing statutes
are enormous and will admit Of little or
no abatement. The building Of . new
Navy, the pensions Of the veterans. the
sugar bounties and ship subsidies, added
to the current expenses Of maintaining
the Government. requires the raising oil
a vast sum OF money through our eve
Que systems. About all Of the Congresses
in the future are to be b~illion-dollsr Con
zresses. Nevada would care but little
about the extra tariff II she could gel
prosperity In her mines, which would
necessarily extend TO all branches Of bus
mess in the State. The tariff will no
be . factor In the silver States this year
Nobody talks about il or seems to cart

CONVENTION,

Ex.CONeREssmAN WHEN ON THE
wORR OF THE MINNEAF0Lns
CONVENTIONS,
For year or Two past ex-Congressmas
Thomas Wren, Of Eureka, has been in
the habit Of giving his views TO the pub
lie on important topics through the in
~strumentality Of . little circular publ
cation called "THE OCCASIONAL" DE
is now out with one Of these Issues, de-
voted TO . criticism Of the work OF the
Minneapolis Convention, in which he
takes the manly stand that both the
ticket and the platform deserve TO be
spurnsd with deep indignation BY the
true men and voters Of Nevada. MIR.
Wren has hitherto been . leading Repub-
lican and one Of the strictest party men
in the State. We believe that In his
present attitude he voices the sentiment
Of 95 per cent Of his former party ssso-
cistes IN eastern Nevada. The strong
and logical article alluded to from his
pen is ss follows:
"The net results Of the Republican Ma
tional Convention just adjourned 10 the
nomination Of Harrison for President and
whitelsw Reid, editor and principal pro
prietor Of the New York Tribune, for
Vice President, and the adoption OF .
strong snsi.silvsr plank in the Republican
platform.
The hostility Of Harrison to silver has
been % bitter ss was that Of Cleveland
during his administration. but less manly
and courageous, and therefore more dan
gerous. What Cleveland tried to accom-
plish against silver by open methods,
Harrison has attempted against il By
secret underhanded means.
Whitelsw Reid Haunted at the head
Of the editorial columns Of the Tribune
for more than . year that despicsbls lie,
IAN sighty-6ve cent dollar" He 10 and
always has been n Of the meanest enc
mics Of silver In the United States.
What may ironically be termed the
"dlver plank" in the platform was in
tended no doubt to catch silver votes. bot
in fact II squarely commits the Republi-
can party to the repeal Of oil laws for the
sale Of silver to the Government and its
coinage, until the bond.holders and
money-lending millionaires Of Europe
by agreement pay US forty cents An ounce
more for our silver than they have TO at
present.
The means by which this result has
been brought about does not admit Of .
doubt. The price Of members Of the con-
vention probably did not range a. high
Is the prices Of men did before the
war.
Cleveland will be nominated ct the
Chicago Convention by the same means.
IT the two.thirds rule don't defeat him,
and the scheme Of the gold bugs will have
succeeded 90 far - the nomination for
President by the Democratic and Rspub-
loan parties are concerned.
II the Democrats at Chicago shall fail
to give us . free coinage candidate on IN
unequivooal free coinage platform. then
there will be nothing left for the people
Of the silver States to do but to band
themselves together and support . ticket
Of their own"
