SENATOR HANsBRoUGH is reported rs
saying that she has neither time nor in
clination to reply to the criticism of men
on the financial question who do not
understand it." Articles in the senator's
own paper, the Devils Lake Inter Ocean,
and interviews in the St. Paul and
Minneapolis papers before and since his
return to Washington contribute con-
vincing proof to all except those whose
minds are warped by incurable preju-
dices, that the senator has mastered the
financial problem. It is admitted on all
sides aud free coinage as we'll as anti
free silver advocates quote the senator
in advocacy of theic reasoning on the
financial problem.

United States have shut down for a
greater or less period. From the most
reliable data it is estimated that no
fewer than 100000 employees have been
thrown out OF work by the closing down
Of manufacturing establishments and
mines. OF this large aggregate it is
figured that 10000, or II per cent. we're
engaged in the production or manufao-
ture OF iron aud steel; 5000, or - per
cent. in wooden, silk and cotton mills;
$4,000, or II per cent in building trades;
$4,000, or 95 per cent. in silver mining
and allied industries, aud $1,000, or 8
per cent. in coal mining and coke
producing.

Now the United States must stop the
purchase of silver in any quantity at any
price, and cease to coin it in other than
subsidiary form ut any ratio. This action
will force an international conference, in
which we shall not be, as heretofore,
suppliants, but dictators. and the silver
men must take their chances. There is
one thing the silverltes are careful never
to mention. 1t is the fact that the BIZ
metallic countries chiefly and notably
France have for fifteen years been do
ing precisely what President Cleveland
recommends the extraordinary congress
to do. When We pass the repeal Of the
silver purchasing act, We will have made
the triumph OF bimetallism certain. We
shall be following the footsteps Of
France, fifteen years later, in fixing a
limit to the Issue OF silver for the sake Of
the betterment and permanency of silver

IHE Window plan, proposed by him at
the time of the passage of the Sherman
compromise measure, provided for the
use of silver as a money basis while re-
tanning gold as the sole standard. It
was suggested that the treasury of the
United States receive all the silver
bullion offered for sale or coinage, pay
ing for it in certificates calling not for
coin or gold, but for silver bullion equal
in value on the open market on the day
of their presentation to their face. Thus
for 100 ounces of silver presented when
silver is worth IS cents on the market,
q depositor would receive certificates for
SIS good at any time not for 100 ounces
of silver but for S75 worth of silver
bullion at the time of presentation.
So if silver has advanced to 81 an
ounce when these certificates were pre-
sented the holder would get seventy-fve
ounces for them, while if the metal had
allen to so cents an ounce he would be
entitled to $50 ounces. 1t is plain that,
however much silver varied
in price, the certificates would
remain at par with gold. At the
same time these certificates would be
real silver money. They would not call
for the expenditure of an ounce of gold
while they would be a demand for silver.
Thus, unlike our present pseudo silver
dollars, they would tend to increase the
value of silver and to reduce that of
gold, thus tending doubly to rectify the
present currency disorder and equate
once more the money metals. The plan
is open to the one objection that the
certificates, being redeemable only in
silver, might be cornered and manipu-
lated by speculators-as gold now often
is-for the plumber Of the federal treas.
ury. This, however, might be prevented
by giving the secretary the option of re.
deeming the certificates in gold coin at
any time when the price of silver seemed
unnaturally low.

That President Cleveland should be
so much in need of rest at this time
after having spent several months al
Buzzard's Bays construed by many
to indicate that there is something in
the report of his rapid and dangerous
increase of flesh. Mr.. Cleveland has
gone back to his favorite summer resort
that is c%ertaia, but it is possible that the
other theory. that he desires to escape
the wrath of any Guiteau silverites who
may be loating about Washington, bent
on doing their country a service, may
have some merit.

AFTER every fire there is always much
speculation as to what might have hap.
pened under conditions other than those
existing at the time Of the fire. Thus
persons were heard to remark that the
Sheridan house had a narrow escape,
and it would have burned had the wind
been in the north, or if it had been
night time, or if no one had heard the
fire bell ring, or if the fire had broken
out while another n was raging, etc.
AS a matter of fact the Sheridan house,
although a frame structure, is less liable
o burn than many Of the brick blocks.
1t is isolated 10 the extent that the fire.
men can get water to all sides of il. The
whole north wing might have burned
Monday night and still the fire would
have been brought under control with
out doing further damage. A fire in Bis.
marck has little show when six or eight
such streams of water as were turned on
the Sheridan house, are turned loose.
A fire is literally flooded out. The supply
is inexhaustible and the force is always
the same. No engine to get out of order,
but a steady stream by the gravity sys-
tenn. Bismarck has the finest water sys.
tenn in the northwestern better in the
United States-and no better or pu.er
water for all pur poses. By analysis at
the Smithsonian institute, it ranks third
in the United States.

INTERVIEWS with the leading iron and
steel men Of Pittsburg, indicate that un-
certainty as to prices affected by tariff
changes has had more to do with the
present stringency and 'hard times
than anything else. Uncertainty as to
what the present administration will do
is largely responsible for the depression.
All kinds of manufacturing industries
and business Of every sort is simply
paralyzed when the attitude of the
government is uncertain and undeter-
mined. If the democrats would do
something-anything-the situation
would be relieved. What trade and in
dustry requires is a settled policy. The
inability of the democratic party, in the
past, to successfully grapple with any
great question or inaugurate and carry
through to a successful termination, any
great national policy, leads the business
world to distrust the party at this time.
The democratic party has a faculty Of
looking backward instead of forward.
1t has been truly likened to the man
riding backwards in a railway train; he
could see nothing until the train had
passed it. The repeal of the Sherman
law will affect the situation but little.
The country will not prosper again until
the democratic position on the tariff is
clearly known--untl %legislations, not
theories, or promises, is had. The great
manufactures of the east cannot run until
they know what values are going to be.
If protection is to be destroyed, then in
order to run there must be a cut in
wages of the laboring classes, all the way
down the line from foreman to puddler.
and from the miner to the roustabout on
the vessels transporting the ore. Build
ing enterprises are Frustrated because
Of the probability or fear Of a cut or re-
duction in prices, and so it goes all
through the industrial world. If Cleve.
land and his democratic majority in
congress would follow up the repeal of
the Sherman law with a definite tariff
policy the country would have perma-
nent relief, but this question seems
likely to go over for the present through
the fear, inability and indisposition of
the democrats to tackle it. The TR1B-
USE will venture the prediction that it
will be found advisable in order to raise
revenues sufficient to run the govern.
ment to increase the Mckinley tariff law
from 10 to 20 per cent.

FARMING IN THE DAKorAs.


The Dakota farmer, who by reading
populist papers has come to believe that
he is the victim of all the ills that man.
kind is heir to, should stop to consider
the fact that the depression is universal
and that while the farmer is complain.
ing of the low prices received for his
products thousands of unemployed
workingmen in the country are suffering
for the necessarles of life, and for selfish
reasons favor the low price of the FOOD
staples. The Dakota Farmer. a semi
monthly publication published at
Huron. S. d., has been figuring a little
on the relative condition of the farmers
of the northwestern states and as will be
seen North Dakota shows the largest IN
per capita value OF farm products. The
Farmer says:
Last year the crops generally in the
northwest were good, in fact, big. On the
south of us, Nebraska raised l4S bushels of
corn, worth SAL, to every man, woman and
child in the states: II bushels of wheat
worth 81: II bushels of oats worth SO, and
haX worth 81. or, these four crops we're
worth S5S for every resident of that state.
On the east of us, Minnesota raised 10
bushels of corn worth 81: 80 bushels Of
wheat worth $40; 50 bushels OF oats worth
So, and flax worth about 50, or, total of
these crops worth SS7 per capita. Iowa,
with it's nearly two millions of people,
raised los bushels of corn worth $50; 4
bushels of wheat worth 50: 81 bushels of
oats worth sl3, and sl.so worth of fax,
making $3.50 per capita, while Kansas,
with nearly a million and a half Of popula-
ton, raised l02 bushels of corn worth SS22:
4s bushels of wheat worth S25: 81 bushels
of oats worth SO, and flax worth 81, or a
total of S66 per capita. But how about the
Dakotas? North Dakota, with 1888 900
people, raised 2 bushels Of corn worth S.82
per capita; 1872 bushels of wheat worth
500 per capita: 68 bushels of oats worth
$40 per capita, and flax worth 500, making
9 total of Sl2O per capita for every resi-
dent of that state. South Dakota's 1926 900
people raised 81 bushels of corn worth S1S
per capita; 81 bushels of wheat worth $40;
56 bushels of oats worth S13, and 1iaX
worth So, or, these four crops yielded the
farmers of our state and their families 1872
for every man, woman and child in our
state.
We freely extend whatever consolation
these facts ard comparisons give to our
readers. The Dakotas may not raise the
biggest crops every year., but farmers
should keep we'll in the foreground the
fact that the state averages up very favor
ably with her northwestern %neighbors.

make "a cents worth of wheat worth 81 for

store it away in government elevators

THERE are some arguments of the
ultra anti.silver papers that will not go.
For instance, the Minneapolis Tribune
congratulates Colorado upon 1.-The indus
trial revival inaugurated by the irriga-
ton canal now in process of construc.
ton and which will give employment to
5000 men, distribute 100000, and re-
claim 100000 acres of land.' It argues
further that the partial closing of the
mines may produce the good effect of
turning the attention of the state to
more paramount industries, "meaning, it
is presumed, farming" Colorado farm
log, without miners near by to consume
the products of the farm, would be q
very unsatisfactory business. The great
trouble with western farmers is the
great distance from market and the ex-
pense OF not only getting their products
to market but the manufactured prod
ucts IN exchange. The west has peopled
too fast. 1t should have settled up
more gradually. Instead of leaving all
of the manufacturing establishments in
New England they should have been
brought along and keep pace with the
development Of the country. Western
people have to pay a double haul-on
the raw material to the eastern seaboard
and on the manufactured products in
return. This places us at q disadvantage
which only the low price of farm land
the %cheapness of farming and the rich
ness of soil can overcome.
