The Fargo Forum says a petition WAC
oelng circulated Tuesday in Fargo asking
the members of the Ninth district to sun
port John D. Benton for senator if Cass
county could not unite on a republican
candidate. The petition is said to he in 1ba
hands OF u. w. Francis, and originated in
Darling q Angeles Office. 1t is said to he
signed oy quite a number of republicans,
1t seems instead of anybody being
robbed at the Sheridan house the other
night only one man lost or claims to have
'ost any money and he only $40. 1t seems
that a "crack lieu" game was the popular
game that night and that may account for
certain alleged losses. No one lost a
mar on watch all the time and no sneak
thle new, can get their work in at this nonn.

ton while the men who should work in
the mills suffer the want Of the articles
which might be made therein. 1t is GER
tain that any large. general and per.
sistent prostration of industry, such as
is now perceptible in this land of won
derful richness and activity, is always
attributed to some form OF misgovern-
ment, to some hurtful act of legislation
or the menace OF such an act. When the
situation in this country to-day is con-
trasted with that which existed one year
ogo, and the fact is recalled that a great
political revolution has occurred mean
time, 1t is inevitable that the marvellous
change in the condition of industry
must be attributed chiefly to the fact
that the revolution, by menacing indus
try with hostile legislation, has produced
the disastrous results. The only serioue
overproduction that has afflicted this
nation was the overproduction of dem
ocratic votes in November last.

The following extract from "Progress
of the World' in September Review of
Reviews: IF our western friends, with
whose ultimate view and purpose we
have no contention, would but calm
themselves somewhat and weigh econ
omic facts more carefully, it seems to
us they would see that the govern
mental policy of buying and storing sill
yer must be abandoned, and further
that free silver coinage cannot, in the
true interest of silver, be adopted by the
United States alone. It seems to us,
therefore, that a. the Sherman act
ought to be abolished; (2) the banking
system ought somehow to be revised in
the interest of a more responsibility
elastic currency Of bank notes; and (yy
We should SO shape our policy in gen.
eral as to bling Europe to a realizing
n of the insuficiency of gold, where
upon (4) we should urge the adoption Of
ar international ratio for the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and sill
YER as full legal tender, and g. should
then make nor.enforcible all contracts
to psy either gold money exclusively or
silver money exclusively

On their return to Chicago from their
trip through the northwest the foreign
commissioners were loud in their praise
of North Dakota. The Chicago Herald
contained three columns of interviews
with the different members Of the dis
tinguished party, and without excep-
ton they sounded the praises of this
country. "What I have SEEM" said A. G.
Asdikiau of Turkey, sis a perfect revela-
ton. l was born and brought up in a
country which is old in history, but
after seeing the farming of North Da.
kota, [ came to the conclusion that the
latter is $4,000 years old, while my country
is in its teens. The whole souled hospi-
tally of the people surprised me-" "This
has been one of the best occasions for
scientific investigation I ever expert
enced," said DR.. Walther Lott, professor
of political economy in the University of
Munich. "After witnessing the excel
lent social and moral relations of this
contended people, I am sorry our
German emigrants do not form a larger
proportion of the population of North
Dakota. I hope to spread information
in my country among those who have
resolved to come to America which will
lead them to North Dakota"

AS the revenues CT the government

come some means of meeting this de-
fciency will have to be devised. The
government will either be obliged to
float a new issue Of bonds, or an income
tax will have to be imposed, or an in
crease in the tariff schedules must be
decided upon. It is a condition and not
a theory that confronts the democratic
congress now, and the country will not
be startled in the least if, after all it's
bowling, the party of Jackson and of
Jefferson shifts around from free trade
to high tariff in order to obtain the
necessary revenues to run the govern

LOOKING at the work of tho house
from q political standpoint, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, it was highly
creditable to the republicans. OF the
l24 votes for the Bland substitute, only
Ii were cast by republicans. or the 226
votes against that measure, 100 we're
from the republican eide OF the house.
Eighty. eight per cent. of the repub-
licans voting recorded themselves against
free coinage and a debased dollar. OF
the 124 aye votes for the Bland-Allison
substitute, 100 we're democrats. OF the
226 votes against free coinage III were
from democratic members. Thus but
81 per cent. of the democrats voting
supported the democratic presidents
safe money policy.

Mr.. N. G.. LAR1MoRE, the model farmer
a Lar1more, Grand Forks county,
told the foreign commissioners that by
using the best methods and machinery
it only cost him from $3.50 to IS an acre
to raise and market his wheat. One Of
the machines tested while the commits
sioners were there was the behring's
new pony binder which is fitted with
ball and roller bearings, similar to the.
modern bicycles 1t is said the draft
when cutting grain was but 298 pounds
and the machine was operated by two
herses without difficulty.

THE newspapers of Montana seem to
be unanimous in the desire for an extra
session of the state legislature to elect a
United States senator, but Governor
Richards hesitates and says he will not
call it unless the desire of the people is
overwhelming. As the desire of the
people of Montana is for free silver, no
matter what the rest of the country
may think about it, there can be but
little doubt of their desire for an extra
session to elect another silver senator.
Anyhow, for the best interest of the
northwest all round, on all matters it is
better that we have full representation.
Governor Richards ought to call the
legislature in extraordinary session.

TIE visit Of the foreign commissioners
to Fargo seems to hare been a botch.
Instead OF arriving ut 10 o'clock in the

commissioners arrived at 7:3O in the
morning, when, but few people were. up,
and left the city at 1890. This didn't
give Fargo half chance to entertain
them. Whoever managed the excursion
should have arranged to do better than,
that by the leading city in the state.

SENATOR: HANsBRoUGH, has presented
the following amendment to the Wilson
repeal bill now pending in the senate
"Pnovided, That the secretary of the
treasury SHALL issue silver certificates in
suitable denominations to replace all
classes of gold order paper, including ma.
tiOnal bank notes of less denominations
than $40 and shall purchase on the LIST and
the 18th day OF each month q sufficient
anOunt Of silver bullion and coin the same
into standard dollars of 1927. grains, as q
basis for circulation and redemption ut par
Of certificates.
Provided, further, That said certificates
shall be a legal tender for all amounts Of
500 or less, and provided farther that on
or after the passage and approval Of this
act the issue of gold coins and paper cur
reney of less denomination than 500 ex-
cept silver certificates herein provided for
shall cease"
Mr.. Hansbrough says that he offered
the amendment IN this mild form as the
only recognition silver is likely to re-
ceive at the hands of the president. The
scheme proposed by Mr.. Hansbrough is
hardly as good as the Window plan.

The New York Press ridicules the iclsa
of overproduction being responsible TO-
any great degree for the present depres-
sion, and declares that the real cause ir
the overproduetion Of democratic votes,
in the last campaign. 1t points to the.
fact that we have consumed all the pro-
ducts Of our iron industry and as for
wooden goods have imported over s6o,-
100000 worth during the last twelve
months. Even OF cotton goods We I'M
ported more than 43,O00,O00 pounds. 1t
is, says the Press, indeed a strange
doctrine-a doctrine neve heard OF, we
think, until free trade principles were
thrust upon the world-that impover;sh-
ment Of the people must follow upon the
great production of wealth. It was re.
served for the modern school of political
economy to teach that as you increase
the production Of cloth, you bare the
backs of the people; that as you produce
more wheat, you add Q panRs Of hun
ger to their stomachs; that as you en-
large the cotton crop, you reduce the
chance that q poor man shall have q
shirt; that as you turn more ore into
iron, you make it harder for q farmer to
buy q plowshare; that the more strenu-
ously honest men work to create wealth
the poorer they must become. Such
teaching, being in violation Of common
sense, cannot be accepted. Temporary
glut in q market sometimes there may
be; but no man can account for q per-
manent and continuous decline of prices
by alleging overproduction at q time
when hungry men cannot buy food OF
naked men clothes. Nor is it possible to
explain the compulsory idleness Of the
! mills upon q theory Of excessive produc.
