Wheat is selling for 10 cents q
bushel up in the Palouse valley.
Think of it Has Republican
ism and Democracy brought the
tanners to that p? Yes. Vote
for the old parties and starve.
Stop and ponder Wheat the
mainstay of mankind's existence;
that from which comes the staff
of life selling for the paltry sum
of 10 cents a bushel
To the Palouse country it is q
terrible calamity. To their fin
ancial interest it is almost as bad
as total loss of the crop. At
this price the cost of harvesting
will consume the entire proceeds.
The average cost of harvesting a
% bushel- to- the-acre crop is 18
cents bushel. 1t costs 6 cents
to cut it, 81 cents to thresh it, A
cents to sack it and q cents to
haul it to man ket, making a total
of 1S cents, to say nothing of
warehouse charges. Where is
the farmers pay for the long,
hard days spent in seedingP And
where is his tax and interest
money and his store bill to come
from? A rise in the market is
hoped for, but at present all eyes
are turned towards the railway
companies for relief. They are
now getting almost as much for
hauling the wheat to market
149 cents-as the farmer for rails
ing it. 1t may be that the profits
are not large at that, but it is
royal remuneration as compared
with what the farmer gets for
raisingit it.

Accord to man the natural
rights granted him by nature
and he will never starve, go
naked nor sleep in q box car.
Tear down the wire fences erect
ed by corporations to keep will
ing hands from raising food.
Knock out speculation in the
land by the single tax, and give
to every man a chance at land,
water, air and sunshine and he
will pull through. The fear of
the poor-house makes wolves of
humanity and the schemes of the
possessors of wealth to drive
them into a corner, only makes
them the more dangerous. Tile

Some few Republicans in this

Some few Republicans in this
county feel, or at least say that
the Populists will be defeated in
Custer county at the coming
election. We have no such fears
to express. The Populist cause
is stronger today than it was
two years ago, although the en-
tire vote of the county will not
be as large as it was at that time,
but our cause has q much brigh-
ter outlook. We have good men
on our ticket, and the principles
advocated by the Peoples party
is of the right kind. We have
no unkind word to say of any
nominee on the Republican
ticket, but the principles of that
party are such that no man in
the West should sustain, especi-
ally their position on silver,
which is always, without fail,
against the white metal.

Brother Cowen, of the Lemhi
Republic, thinks that many are
called but few are chosen" and
we have not the slightest idea
but that, when the vote is count.
ed In Lemhi county this fall he
will be mourning over the few
that are counted on his side
wait until you see how few. We
did not intend to put it in print,
although we have been aware of
the situation for a long time.
We pity his weakness, but his
presumption, under all circum-
stances, is certainly q matter of

Hftsr the strike.
Air-"After the Ball"

Air-"After the Ball"
Once a pretty maiden climbed an
old mans knee,
Asked for story-papa tell me,
Why are you lonely why are you
sad,
Why do your shopmates call you
a scab =?
I had friends, pet, long, long
years ago;
How / lost them you soon shall
know,
I'll tell it all pet, tell all my
shame,
I was a scab, pet, l was to blame.
Chorus.
After the strike is over,
After the men have won;
After the shops have opened;
After the notice is down,
Many the heart is aching,
Though the hope seems bright
That many scab will vanish
After the strike.
Brave men were fighting stand
ing side by side,
Fighting for justice, fighting
with pride,
l then was with them-with
them heart and soul,
But when the test came, I left
them in the cold.
I thought it best pet best to turn
a scab,
Best to return, pet, to the job l
had,
That's why I'm lonely, that's
why I'm sad,
That's why my shopmates call
me a scab.
Chorus.
Many years have passed, pet.
since | won that name,
And in song and story they have
told my shame,
l have tried to tell them, tried to
explain,
But they would not listen, plead
ing was in vain;
Everywhere l wander, every
where Iroam,
The story of my shame is sure to
find my home,
I'd give my life, pet, I'd give my
all,
If l had not turned traitor, or
scabbed at all.
Chorus.

The money power has made its
home in the nations capitol, and
under the protection of both the
Republican and Democratic
leaders each of which has the
power to crush it, it has depreci-
ated the values of all property,
multiplied the burdens of all
debts, paralyzed the industries
of 20, 900, 900 people, gorged the
national highways with half
starved citizen beggars and filed
the land with portentious muir
murings of a coming revolution.

We expect his speech will be of
the same character as all other

question is the finance, and the
Republicans touch it very light

dennis them. They consequent
