TOOK In during August several thous-
and bushels. This year the total re-
celpts were 67 bushels for the entire
month, and that was delivered as
rent.
Our crop last year averaged about
o5 bushels. am yours truly,
j. BLAIR.
Praise the Lord for ]. Blair. He is
the man Diogenes was looking for, in
broad daylight, with a lighted lam
tern. and could not find. South Da-
kota should take especial pains to per-
petuate the breed of that man-for
that kind Of stock is nearly run out.
But we expect to hear, soon, that a
lying generation has risen up and
burned j. Blair alive, for dissipating
the universal illusion. What! Tell
the truth! Why the bottom will come
out Of North and South Dakota, if
this thing is persisted in. Stand
shoulder to shoulder, brothers; but let
one universal lie enfold the globe, so
that we may comfortably die behind
it.
Poor j. Blair. The idea of such a
man running an elevator in South Da-
kota! But it may be he has grown
desperate. You can't expect man to
lie much on 81 bushels of receipts in one
month. There is no room for the i'm
aglnation. The truth is squeezed out
OF him with a scream.
But. seriously, what an awful pic
ture does Mr.. Blair present. You can
not rival it in Dante's hell. Thirty
bushels on ninety acres-worth 45
cents per bushel! And the dreadful
winter coming. And no wood! And
the interest on the mortgage unpaid:
and all the countless robberies and ex-
tortions, reaching from ocean to
ocean.
May God in his infinite goodness,
have mercy on his Door, wretched chill
dren, who have never wronged Him,
and who look up to Him, through their
tears and miSerieS, as to their only
friend. God help them. Id.

Of course it is. The truth leaks out
of you fellows now and then. But it
is an avalanche of reconstruction, not
of destruction. 1t buries the rOgues

Here we have 1919 employees of

siderably more than half, in these pro

And yet these manufacturing states,
in ten years, made over three billion
dollars of wealth, most of it taken
from the West!

LIES ANSWERED.
Shallow Sophis tries.

But time are very hard, indeed, for
the time being in considerable dis
tricts Of South Dakota. The farmers
there-thOSe Of them that are not
enough well-informed to see the folly
OF the thing-are disposed to run after
the miraculous remedies for poverty
offered them by the Populsts. Money
is naturally very scarce with them,
and forgetting that its scarcity is due
to the fact that they have nothing to
offer in exchange for it. they eagerly
accept the Populist delusion, that
money could be made more plentiful
by putting lot of paper in the treas
ury hopper and grinding out unlimit-
ed issues of printed rags. They do
not stop to inquire how they are to
get hold even of this cheap money
when it comes out of the hopper, or
how they are going to get hold of any
money until they produce something
which they can offer in exchange for
it.-Pioneer Press.
And yet this fellow knows perfectly
we'll that when the bankers of Wall
street, in 1861, wanted to charge
the government from II to 36
per cent loans of money, the
government put lot of pa
per in the treasury hopper and ground
out unlimited issues of printed rags"
and not only carried on with them the
greatest war in the history of the
world, but produced the best times
this country has ever known. But the
Pioneer Press will say,-that gold rose
to 25O per cent premium over green
backs. Yes; over some greenbacks,
because they were disqualified on their
face. The government refused to ac-
cept them for duties on imports or to
pay interest on public debts. But the
$60,O00,0OO Of first greenbacks, that
did not have these qualifications, but
were full legal tender, kept side by
side with gold through all the horrors
of dreadful war. "Printed RAGS
Why this bankrupt newspaper would
be mighty glad to have hundred
thousand dollars of those 'printed
rags"
And how, they ask, could the people
get any Of the cheaper money if it was
issued. Easy enough. The more
money there is the cheaper it is
that is to say other things are
dearer:-that is to say, prices
rise. If we had twice as much
money as we have wheat, wheat
would be worth 81 bushel instead Of
80 cents, Then if a farmer sold 1000
bushels he would have $500 more of
the printed rags" than he gets now,
and he could pay off his debts, to that
amount.
These rascals see that plainly
enough, but they are working in the
interest of the money lenders and
against the producers. They are
hired to befuddle the people with just
such shallow arguments.

visited the Exposition, attended the

Astoria prides itself on its public
schools; no city in the state has a bet
ter conducted or more efficient school
system, and the interest taken by the

sufficient evidence Of the hearty sup

vate and promote our educational sys-
tenn.

at half-past 8 o'clock with a prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Bushong, Of the Methodist
