United States Marshall Price and family
are here, en- route to Indianapolis. Fargo,
Grand Forks and other points are we'll
represented. The arrivals for the week
as registered number 219.
The interest in the North Dakota ex-
hiblt, especially in the building and it's
surroundings continues, and the WIS.,
itors come and go in an almost continu-
GUS stream.
Growing interest in the fair IS shown
by the increased attendance which last
week amounted to more than 100000.
Special days now come thick and fast
and the authorities have no fears now as
TO the success, financially, of the expo
sition.
The live stock show commencing on
the 22d is now the feature and the
pavilion for it's accommodation is daily
visited by from 5000 to 10000 people.
While North Dakota does not seem to
he in it except by proxy, n animal
bred and owned in the state, entered
through a Minnesota exhibitor walked
off with n of the best prizes. Our
neighboring state, Minnesota, is second
only to Illinois in the number of animals
shown and in prizes won. The pavilion,
modelled after the a%mpitheatre at Rome,
and the barns for the accommodation of
stock, cost S220,O0O. Ample stall room
is provided for more than 5000 animals.
While Minnesota appropriated specially
$4,000 for it's stock exhibit, paying cost
of transportation and feed and 81 per
day for the subsistence of each groom,
the owners of the stock exhibited have
added largely to this and are making a
display that will give great returns to
the state. H. F. Brown has twenty five
Of his great herd of Short Horns here
and N. P. Clarke, thirty-one of his, the
largest known herd of Clydesdales.
l see my old friend Southmayd raises
your hair a little on the silver question,
think some OF his points we'll taken.
I wished the TRIBUNE would strike out
boldly for the repeal of the purchasing
clause to the Sherman act, not with q
view Of crippling silver, but because it is
a fraud and a sham as all compromise
measures are. The silver advocates
we're led to accept it as the drowning
man is led to grasp anything that seems
to promise relief. Straightway the
bankers of the east commenced dis
crediting the use of silver and placing
obstacles in the way of it's circulation.
They commenced taking notes and
mortgages payable in gold, and did
everything that they could do to destroy
the use of silver and drive it from a
monetary existence, and some of the So
called silver states helped it along. I
noticed IN the Pacific coast that one
could not go into q bank and borrow
S25 for thirty days without giving a
note payable in gold for 1t. Gold was
IN general use though voted a nuisance
by every one and it was almost jmpos-
slble to get silver enough to meet large
pay rolls. People and business men
needed more silver while the bankers
were engaged in what ought to have
been regarded a treasl nable conspiracy
to destroy it's use. Indeed if it be treas.
on to make war on the government,
a felony to counterfeit and a crime to
SANDER n of it's citizens to his material
Injury. it ought to be rated a crime to
DO what the bankers have been instu-
mental in doing, viz, to disoredlt the
currency issued by the government
whether it be paper or silver or that
metal at one time demonetized by Ger
many as an experiment and then rein
stated for the purpose of trying the
Same experiment on silver.
Silver has been good enough
for currency since the days of Cesar and
most of the time on a more favorable
ratio than 16 to l and it is still COCO
enough for q circulating medium it it is
protected by natural instead of un'
natural and wicked Legislation. 1 re-
gard the Sherman provision wickec
and would vote for it's repeal, preferrinG
the Voorhees, bill to the Wilson, and
should prefer that with a free coinag {
provision. Let them dump the silver OF
the world upon us if they will. The,
will be mighty glad to have some OF il
to do business with as New York bank
ers are now glad to get anything tina
will represent a balance. The calamit!
cries Of the 'populists may have hat
effect upon the times, but the banker
commenced it first and finally went int
