Secretary J. II. Turner, OF the Peoples
party national committee says: I'VE ind
by examining the above figures that the
democrats are now camping on the same
ground that the republicans occupied
thirty years ago, there being onl y sixty
cents difference TO the farmer under the
republican law OF 1861, and the demo
cratic law OF 1894.
The difference to the farmer between the
Mckinley and the present democratic
law is s21.12 on his yearly purchase,
therefore it must be this S2ll2 that all
this tariff racket is about. From this
table We can see exactly the relation in
parties SO far as the tariff IS concerned.
As the law now stands, the difference to
the farmer between the democratic and
republican parties on the tariff question
when measured in dollars and cents, Is
$2l.l2 Then the issue when narrowed
down is whether the farmer will pay
s2l.l2 tariff more or less annually.
When one has studied the money ques-
ton and sees how this same farmer is
robbed and plundered each year by the
money power of the world, the tariff
question dwindles into utter lusigniti-
cance.
Let us now examine into the naked
facts and see how the farmer has been
affected by vicious financial legislation
and robbed OF his birthright while the
politicians have been crying tariff tariff
in order to drown the cries of plum
dered people.
Let us take as the average crop OF the
cotton farmer, ten bales weighing 800
pounds each, a total OF 5000 pounds. We
find that the price of cotton in 1872, the
wear before silver was demonetized, was
worth from lS to 25 cents per pound, the
average price being about 20 cents. The
! ten bales OF cotton at that time at u
| cents per pound, would net the farmer
$1,000. The same ten bales of cotton now
at the present price OF 6 cents per pound
would net him $500 We tind from these
figures that some how the cotton farmer
has been robbed of 800 en- his years pro
duction of cotton. The crop that he
produced in 1872 cost no more labor thar

95 Cents for W heat.

P.D. Armour, Jr., has just completed
an actual test of feeding wheat to hogs
on his farm at Oconomowoc:

Sept % same pigs weighed Qbs.) $500
Gaining Qbs.). 525
And receiving nothing for feed except
1850 pounds of crushed wheat. Taking
the present market for hogs, S cents, 1t
would make the value received for the
wheat S26.25, or little over IS cents per
bnshel. against the cost Of about 53 cents
for wheat.-Chicago Herald.
By those having experience IN feeding
wheat it is claimed that better results
are obtained from soaking the wheat
until it sours rather than from crushing.
Practically as good results can be OBJ
tanned from feeding crushed wheat to
cattle and horses.

HARD UP FOR MATERIAL.
Trying to Arouse Partisanism on no
Good Grounds.

GOOO Grounds.
The Bismarck Tribune is making hard
effort to arouse prejudice against State
Auditor Porter because the volunteer
fire companies OF the state have not been
paid the 2 per cent premium tax, in full
before this time. The tax itself was only
collected in full by the commissioner OF
insurance the first of July, and for the
the entire state only amounts to S4,946.l2
which Is apportioned among "a different
towns and companies IN amounts rang
ing from S27 .O1 to s1,169.O3, and which
gives, of course, but small sum to each
fireman. OF the amount collected before
July l Auditor Porter paid out before
July the sum of S1,(S9.73, dividing it
among the smaller companies, paying
Bismarck, Wahpeton and Lisbon because
they wele to take part in the tourna-
ment. This left balance OF S3.756 80
to be divided among - of the larger
towns and jamestown has already re-
ceived its share of S295.99 and it is sup
posed the other towns have also or will
soon. The auditor states the fremen' 8
tax as fast as collected Is deposited by
the treasurer in the general fund, the
same a. other taxes, and paid out in the
same wav. 1t Is known that state lnstl-
tutlons and accounts for services rem.
dered and supplies advanced the state,
have not been promptly PAID either.
because the taxes are not collected fast
enough to meet the appropriations. The
attorney general held that it was neces-
sary under the constitution to pay the
salaries of the judges and stLte officers
first. The auditor is blamed by the
Tribune for doing this. 1t is also gener-
ally known that the state is three months
behind in it's accounts as above stated
and The firemen now getting their small
proportion Of the tax are no more incon-
venienced than hundreds of others sup.
plying the state with labor and materials
who have not been paid. The attempt
to make political capital against the
auditor for not making an exception OF
tiremen. who are not specially lnconven-
fenced thereby, is too tilmsy to amount
to anything.
The state tiremen are serving for some
thing else than the 3 per cent state tax
and are too intelligent and fair minded
to be used to vote against a competent
and faithful officer on such insignificant
grounds as above noted. Intact most Of
the boys will vote for Auditor Porter
instead OF against him, as they know he
has saved the state and the school funds
thousands OF dollars in refusing to allow
exhorbltant and unnecessary bills and
in cutting down the extor1ionate bills Of
a certain printing house at Bismarck

Draft Horse Breeding.

The Breeders Gazette says that it
believes that revival OF draft horse
breeding interest in the not very far dis
tant future is inevitable. The breeding
OF this class OF horses has been steadily
on tue decline for five or six years past,
and within the past two years has prac-
tically come to an end. Importations
from abroad have also ceased entirely,
and we are rapidly using up the accumu-
lations of the years of activity in this
branch Of horse breeding. There is as
yet no perceptible scarcity in the supply,
but where are the yearllngs and 2.year-
olds that should be coming on to take
the place Of the inevitable annual losses
that must 10 the ordinary course Of
events occur?
There has been no falling of IN the
uses for this class OF horses, neither 10
there likely to be. ELECTRICITY as a
motive power for street cars has greatly
reduced the demand for common ritf-raf1,
the rag-tag and the bob.tail sort, and the
bicycle has cut down the business OF city
livery stables fully one.hslf, 90 that for
the lighter class OF common horses the
outlook is not at all promising; but moth
ing has vet been found to take the place
of tho heavy draft horse, neither has the
method of handling the heavy carriage OF
our great cities undergone any change.
For this use heavy horses are needed,
and the farmer who is equipped for
breeding such horses will probably do
we'll to stick to the business.

legislative Considerations.

The people OF the county, including
jamestown, have to choose this fall two
from seven candidates for the legislature.
The candidates are all in the field and
are we'll known as rule. Only one OF
them has had any legislative experience.
In selecting the two names 10 vote for,
several important considerations arise.
In the first place the selection ought to
be from a purely business and practical
standpoint. We want men who can do
something after they get there and en-
list the aid OF others also. The removal
o, the feeble minded institution located
in connection with the hospital, must be
fought and prevented. It will be no
easy task if appearances are not deceiv
ing, to do this.
To remove this will cost the state at
least 100000 to begin with, and will be
an inheritance in the shape OF a tax for
our children and grand children to sup
port it for all time. All that this is for
is to give Grafton the institution, spend
the money there, and have the instltu-
ton an ornament to that town, besides
giving them the benefit Of feeble minded
society.
At the hospital already built the ap-
piauces for the feeble minded are
already provided, including the super
intendent, the attendants, the heat. the
water, and the room for them. with a
comparatively small expense in the
future for one ward building, as the
number of feeble minded increase.
Stutsman county needs the best quail
fed men in the house, in connection
with the state senator, to prevent the
Walsh county combination passing this
removal scheme. II Roger Allin is
elected governor, he will no doubt do all
he can to remove the institution to his
own county, although bill to amend
the constitution does not require the
signature Of the governor.
The chef reliance the people have to
prevent this is in the independent mem'
bers Of the legislature, who are pledged
| in their state platform to cut down state
expenses instead OF increasing them. The
county, therefore, will do we'll to elect
members whose views aud votes are IN
harmony with that platform, and with
other independent members, Of which
there 10 likely to be a larger number
in the next Legislature than ever before
The names OF the candidates to select
from are: John T. Eager and j. j
Nashold. independents; A. NJ: Halstead
Aug. Albrecht, democratic; J. }. Nler.
ling and E. j. Gleason. republican; E. T.
Kearney, by petition. Which two OF
these candidates do the voters think can
do the county tho most actual service in
the next legislature?

of Fargo, has lately used tubercullne as
q means OF diagnosing tuberculosis. or
animal consumption on number of the
herds in the Red River valley. He has
| been able to demonstrate that the dis
ease exists to a slight extent. Some
herds are entirely free from the disease,
others contained one or two affected ami
mails, while in one herd every animal
except one was affected by it. The ami.
mails which responded to the test were
killed, and upon post mortem his o1agno-
sis was verified. In using tuberculine a
rise of temperature in affected animals is
noticed, while in animals not affected the
temperature does not rise, hence it is
considered perfect means of diagnosing
the disease in various stages, and 1t
makes no difference whether it is Of long
or short standing. The results are the
same 10 every case.
In this connection It should be remem-
bered that tuberculosis is contagious,
and is not only transmitted from enc
animal to another, but is transmissable
from animal to man through the medium
of the milk and flesh. All domestic ami
mails except the horse, are susceptible to
a greater or lees extent.
