THE browning evil of the age is
the protective system which has
been upheld and kept in vogue for
more than a quarter of a century by
the Republican party. Not only
has it depleted the treasury, but in
addition has caused Capitalization
of wealth. One-half of the proper
ty of the United States is now owned
by 40, 600 people and the other half
by IS, 600, 900. In another column
appears a letter from President
Cleveland, in which he truly asserts
that victory was won under the
banner of tariff reform. The presi-
dent realizes the injustice of the
present tariff law, and recognizes
the fact that the pledges made by
the Democratic party cannot be car
ried out if the Mckinley law is per.
mitted to remain in force. Under
that law the farmers are compelled
10 buy in protected markets and
sell in the open markets of the world.
Mr.. Cleveland, who has ever shown
himself to be friend to the people,
is impressed with the great wrong
inflicted upon them, and if the tariff
is not reformed it will not be his
fault.

WILL some paper that insists that
the silver plank in the Democratic
platform has been violated please ex-
plain what this qualifying clause in
that plank means: ''But the dollar
unit of coinage must be of equal in,
trinSic and exchangeable value, or
be adjusted through international
agreement or such safeguard as
viii secure the parity of the two
metals" This must be considered
in connection with the fact that a
free coinage resolution was voted
down by the eonvention.-Banner.

We are very much impressed with

Boss IsHAN HARRIS favors taxing
the people ten cents a mile for him
10 ride over the railroads when the
rate of travel is only three cents a
mile. Still it would be a grevious
wrong for a Tennesseean, who is a
Democrat, to oppose the boss views
on any question. When the boss
says protect the silver mine owners,
his command is heralded through
out the State, and when he says
''hold the fort, for l am coming by
rail as the rate of ten cents a mile, !"
the answer is waived back, ''by thy
grace we will" Great is Isham g.,

Why Do They Advertise p

The man who conducts his business
on the theory that it doesn't pay, and
he can't afford to advertise sets up his
judgment in opposition TO that of all the
best business men in the world. With
few years experience in conducting a
small business on few thousand dollars
capital he assumes TO know more than
thousands Of men whose hourly trans
actions aggregate more than his do in a
year, and who have made their millions
By pursuing a course that he says doesn't
pay. If advertising doesn't pay, why is
it that the most successful merchants in
every town, large and small, are the
heayiest advertisers? If advertising
doesn't pay who does the business? If
it doesn't pay to advertise, why do the
heaviest business firms in the world
f'spend millions in that way? Is it be-
cause they want TO donate those millions
of dollars to the newspaper and maga-
zine publishers, or because they don't
know as much about business as the six
for dollar "storekeeper" in a country
town, who says money spent in adver-
tising is thrown away. or donated to the
men to whom it is paid? Such talk is
simply ridiculous, and it requires more
than the average patience TO discuss the
proposition of whether advertising pays
or not with that kind of man. His
complacent self-conceit in assuming that
he knows more than the whole business
world is laughable, and reminds US of a
man who proved that the world doesn't
revolve by placing a pumpkin on a
stump and watch it all night.-Ex.

Some ethinR Good Behind IL.

Unless appearances deceive nightly,
certain mysterious movements Of offici-
ais Of the F. +. & NJ. V. system indicate
that we may expect to hear something
!. .a.op In this section soon. 1t has been
known for some time that company OF
Chicago capitalists had been negotiating
for coal lands in the northwestern part
of the Hills. Yesterday Chief Engineer
]. B. Berry, Of the Elkhorn. aceompa-
MED by. S. VI Dslzel and L. s. Blockly,
Of Chicago, and Leo Gluck of st. Louis,
arrived from the east. They took
breakfast, and rigs having been ordered
By telegraph and were standing await
ing them, they drove out of town quiet
ly, nobody apparently knowing who
they were or where they were going.
They had carriage and light spring
wagon, carrying camping outfit, and
stated they were going to Sundance. At
Spearfsh they took dinner but would
not register their names nor give any
information, and continued on their
journey. The fact is they have gone to
the coal fields and Beulah, and will be
gone several days. No doubt upon their
report and recommendation will de-
pend the company's action toward pur-
chasing coal property aid extending the
road to it from Belle Fourche.-Times

Tabor's Plucky Fight.

One of the men who have directly
suffered, and to great extent, from the
decline in silver is ex-senator Tabor Of
Colorado. The ex-senator has been a
very rich man and q very liberal one,
and he is now making a gallant struggle
to preserve some part Of his property.
The Denver News says Of Senator Tabor
"The decline in the value of silver aud
a few unfortunate ventures compelled
Tabor to place mortgages on his magni-
fcent buildings, and for a year past
slowly but surely the sea Of debt flooded
around him until he stood upon the
brink of ruin. A mortgage of sl50,000
soon swelled to $3.50, 900. and in March,
1898, he was forced into q contract Civ
ing Bennett x Myers S25, 900 in cash and
per cent month on 1915, 900 in order
to prevent foreclosure and disaster. The
first, second, third and fourth mortgages
were consolidated into one. Tabor then
signed notes for S275,O00 at interest a,
the rate OF 2 per cent month and oul
Of this huge sum he had only received
about $4,000 in cash. The difference
between the two amounts represents the
interest he has had to pay. But the
ex-senator did not propose to give uI
his wealth without n struggle. Away

The gold deposits Of this immediate
vicinity are attracting considerable at
tentions at this writing. Mining ex-
perts representing wealthy eastern cor
porations have been investigating the
merits of the mines in this vicinity
during the week, and many more are
expected here in the near future. The
character of the gold ores of this section,
and the methods best adapted to their
treatment are becoming better under
stood, which must necessarily result in
an increased demand, and enlarged
operations at no distant day. Taking
into consideration the fact that the gold
veins Of this section are vertical, going
down into the bowels of the earth with

that the ores yield readily to treat
ment by processes in common use else
where, it would be indeed strange and
anomalous if they sh9I IA be long ignor
ed. Everything poidts to q speedy re-

district, and it would be no surprise TO

upon a higher plane Of mining pros
perity than IS now anticipated by the
most hopeful.

Commenting upon the verdict render
ed in the Hicks murder case, the Dead
wood Pioneer says: "The verdict
reached by the jury in the Hicks MUIR
der case at Sturgis was what was sener-
ally expected. There was no doubt
whatsoever of guilt Of the accused, and
the only fear the public entertained of
a possible miscarriage ofjustice was in
duced by the impression the state
would be unable to corroborate the tes-
timony Of Walker, who, according to
his own story was an accomplice in the
crime In fixing Jay Hicks punishment
at death. and that of his brother for life
the jury evidently distinguished the de-
grees Of guilt Of the two. Jay Hicks
wantonly fred the shot that caused
death, and Of the three men concerned
in the crime was perhaps the only one
having murder in his heart when the
house was entered. Walkers story was
that the intention had been only to rob,
and that they were all masked that
shortly after entering the place Jay
Ticks tore the mask from his own face,
exposing himself to Meyers, and subse
quenty informed his accompices that
just before he unmasked he had deter
mined to commit the murder, and that
therefore it didn't matter whether
Meyers recognized him or not. A more
wanton, cold-blooded and deliberate
crime has never been committed, and
the criminals richly deserve the punish
ment the jury has fixed"
