A Business Mans Idea
EDITOR TRIBUNE: It is easily seen
no man who carefully, honestly and
without prejudice, has studied the drift
OF public sentiment, and the trend OF
political conditions, during the last six
months, can fail to see that the principles
advocated by the republican party are
sure to be upheld, and sustained by
handsome majorities for that party's
ticket at the coming election in nearly
every northern state.
If present indications are worth any,
thing, North Dakota is sure to be num-
bered among the republican states after
next election.
Lincoln gave utterance to a wise and
true statement when he said: "You can
fool all the people part of the time, and
a part Of the people all the time, but you
cannot fool all the people all the time"
Previous and up to the election of two
years ago, democrats had for years been
preaching to the people that they were
being robbed under a high protective
tariff, and never missed an opportunity
to picture in glowing colors, the bless
ing that we're ure to follow the inau-
guration of Cleveland's free trade policy,
and the populists promised the farmers
a dollar a bushel for their wheat and
told them that the principles of their
party were the mi and only panacea
for all their ills and difficulties.
Under these deceptive misrepresenta-
lions and false promises a number of
men voted against their own interests.
By reason of the fact that the COVER
nor is not in full sympathy with all the
~falacies of populism, the people of this
state have escaped with only a part of
the curse and hardships which neces.
sarily must result from a full and COM
plete sway of that party's rule,
as shown in Colorado and Kansas.
Our voters have, however, learned by
experience and observation, that pop
ulism, and its principles, are not con-
ducive to prosperity and good govern
ment, and that their theories are of the
widest character, and are SURE to fail
whenever tested by practical applica-
ton.
The business interests of this state
know that if we want to be a prosperous
Independent, and self-sustaining com
monwealth, our must be de-
veloped, factories must be built and on
Grated, a home market for the products
OF our farmers must be created
and emigration must be encouraged
They also know that in order to &C.
complish these things, outside capital
will be required, and should be invited

The farmers of this state know tina,
their interests are identical with thos,
OF the business men; that business activ
