South Dakota is ia line with Pennsyl-
vania, California, Indiana, Ohio and
other great states whose republican con-
ventions have declared in favor OF the
free coinage OF silver and its equality in
debt-paying power with god. This,
however, has not been done in such
specific terms as in the South Dakota
platform, there being the element OF
doubt as to whether this country can
maintain bimetallism without world
wide agreement. South Dakota repub
licans have gone two steps beyond these

picking, and it did not matter nj whit
to those who held 10 this idea that occa-
sionally these who reached the field last
filed their pals first.
There were several kinds of berry
pickers among the "Hookers'' Of other
days. Some there were who picked ber-
ries as they performed their regular
work, for the sake Of getting everything
In sight These individuals were not all
of them stalwart among the young men
o star eyed and cherry Tipped among
the young women. Indeed truth compels
me to say that the best berriers were
usually the plainest looking % They
seemed TO have q sort OF instructive
knowledge Of just where the biggest
clumps OF the most productive bushes
were to be found, and their fingers
seemed 10 be 90 constructed that they
could pick berries with at least Ave
times the speed attainable by their com-
panions. It was not &C all uncommon,
for instance, for ugly old Solomon
Sykes, about the only gray headed mar
who used to go berrying, 70 I'LL all the
pals and baskets he had brought with
him and all he could borrow from
lazier, less enthusiastic pickers before
noon. Then he would lie around on the
rocks In the sun, chewing tobacco and
guying those who had frittered away
the early part Of the day and whose
pals and baskets were only partly filled.
There was another expert at picking
berries whose fame had been spread
abroad through all the neighboring
towns. II the good old souI-she was a
good old soul, despite her acrid words
and her vinegar visage-is still alive,
she is no doubt today filling o 10 quart

1.-THE Rockers, - as the inhabitants of
that blessed village used to be called,
were wont TO 60 to the berry fields in
parties, sometimes by families, but oft
ener in groups OF friends. They always
used to dress accordin" when their
mission was the gathering Of blackber-
ries, and any one who was foolish
enough to join q berrying party without
being properly attired was certain to
be laughed out of court, so 10 speak.
The code Of dress for q berrying party
was quite - rigid as is that for . social

Not that it was necessary for the men
TO wear coats and trousers of any par

to study the latest Paris modes. Bless
you, mol A party of berry pickers prop
erly dressed for their work would afford
the student Of extraordinary human at
tire an opportunity for interesting and
profitable contemplation. First Of all,
ever one, men and women alike wore
high cowhide boots. Naturally In most
cases the women borrowed their boots
from their husbands, from their fathers
or their brothers. Why did they all wear
boots? Snakes, for the berry fields In
the vicinity of 1.-THE Hook were rocky,
and in the interstices between the rocks
rattlesnakes and ~copperheads and per-
haps some other varieties Of venornous
reptiles had their homes. The snakes
were not very numerous, according 70 .

enunciation OF high character, noble
principles and fearless declarations. 1t
is made on that broad plane OF justice TO
all classes that has ever characterized
the advanced ideas Of the republican
party and promises all that can be honor
ably asked by any class. Its position on
reciprocity, restricted immigration
sound finance on the broadcast basis, cor
porate restrictions and agricultural en-
enlargement, is the basis OF the best
form OF government that can be given a
free people. The living issues of the
day are dealt with in manly declarations
OF purpose and the state administration
is commended for its fidelity to public
interests. These things are just and
proper, and viii appeal to the better con
science of our people with irresistible
