The Jamestown Alert speaks rightly
regarding the present low price of wheat.
A short time ago the gold-bug newspa.
pers were excIaiming to the farmers
"Seea Wheat is going up in price, but
silver ls in statu quo. How fallacious is
the claim of the silver men that the price
of wheat is regulated by the price of
silver" But these papers are quite as
close -mouthed as a clam, now. The
Alert says:
go to its legitimate high price, as ex-
pressed in money terms, is that under the
single gold standard no commodities can
reach as hIgh prioes- ss- they would with
an abundant currency in circulation
among the consumers of -four, which IS
not the case now and is not likely to be
for several wears. The ability of the
wheat. buying syndicates in Chicago,
Duluth and Minneapolis to offer future
delivery of wheat at low figure, and
there being no organized clique power
full enough TO take the offerings and
compel their fulillment. will also aid the
artifciaMy restricted demand in keeping
prices down, although, after the bulk
OF the spflng-WAeat crop l6 thrashed and
is put in possession OF the elevators,
the price may advance somewhat. as it
will be for the interest of the syndicate
to have it do so.
This is the plain condition that affects
detrimentally every legitimate interest
and business enterprise IN the country;
which is opposed to the welfare of 10
millions of people; which stagnates
trade; keeps agricultural communities
living on peasants profits; destroys the
element Of reward for industry and skill.
and blasts the spirit of progress of the
whole nation. This is the truth, although
in some quarters it is called pessimlsm
and lneipient anarchy to say so.''

How UTTERLY and absolutely cruel and

How UTTERLY and absolutely cruel and
cold -blooded Is the course of such papers
as the Grand Forks Herald regarding
the present deplorable condition OF
economic affairs in this country. This
class of papers depends almost entirely
upon the farmers for support; vet their
every inspiration is drawn from the
arguments of the class whose interests
are and always will be diametrically
opposed to the farmers. 1t is utterly
nauseating to see paper protesting to
be republican giving editorials day after
day prepared and sent out by an eastern
free-trade league which, to be consistent,
must be as friendly to the British bank.
ers and capitalists as it is to the British
manufacturers and worklngmen. Blu,
the reason why such papers as the
Herald are not in touch with the work.
ing people Is easily explained. They
have no faith iu the ability of the farmers
and waRe-workers to organize and act
for themselves in a political way. While
those who suffer most from the present
monetary conditions are compelled now
more than ever to keep their nose to the
grindstone in order to make living, the
creditor class, whose interests are sub.
served by dear money, have plenty of
leisure to control caucuses and conven-
tions in the populous counties and thus
obtain the ascendancy IN state conven.
tions and build the party platforms.
The Record wishes to give another in.
stance Of the belief on the part of most
politicians that the party platform will
be built next year regardless of the wishes
of the rank and file of the party.
Some weeks ago, IN Bismarck, the writer
conversed with popular off1ce.holder
and prominent politician Of Grand Forks
county. Speaking of the silver senti-
ment, the Grand Forks gentleman said:
"The state convention will declare for
gold. Hansbrough is modifying his
views. had talk with him not long
since. told him that it was all right
for him to believe in free silver, but he
ought to be more quiet about it, and that
It was not good policy for him to give
free-silver statements to the Twin City
papers" The writer suggested that there
was q very strong feeling among the
farmers in favor of more plentiful cir.
culation Of money. eyes" was the
reply. 'But the bankers and other
wealthy business men of the state are the
ones who have always controlled and
who, always will control the conven-
tions.'' And it is probable that the fore.
cast of the Grand Forks gentleman will
prove true. But that does not alter the
question of right, nor the fact that some
experimentation in the interests of the
common people ought to take place. Aud
distant when the interests Of blood will
take precedence over those of capital IN
the economic polity of this nation.

The Regular weekly Prairie Fire

lac Ne8ul6f " ookIy FTa1rl0 Eff0s
The prairie fire this week was on
Tuesday, and 1t started of to the north
west, somewhere near the George Gut
iabr place. 1t went toward the southeast
along the hills on the north side of Long
Lake Greek, tue side fre:on the south
west crossing the creek occasionally. but
being whipped out by the fighters Out
near the Dudley Walker school house, in
Cherry Grove, the first property we have
heard Of as being lost-some Afty tons of
hay belonging 10 H. W. Allen-was lost.
BY hard work along fire-euard north of
the Brown ranch, IN Logan district, the
fire WIS kept out of the slough near Mr..
Browns, where there were scores of hay.
stacks. The fire ran through Goose lake,
heading straight toward the Campbell
sheep-ranch, but, from the opposite side
OF the lake, it looked as though the
ranch fire.breaks were doing their work
all right
The losses of hay that the Record has
heard of are as follows: H. W. Allen,
90 tons; Israel Robinson, so tons; Oscar
Nelson and Mr.. Swanson, rs tons; Peter
g. Levin, IS tons. In addition to these
losses. there were number who had hay
stacked several miles from their home,
and who we're unable to say whether or
not it had been burned.
But the greatest loss-greatest because
it was about all he had-was that of
Hans Hanson, young man who came
out from Minneapolis about three years
ago. His live stock, besides a team
not fully paid for, consisted of two COWS,
two calves, two pigs, and lot of chick
ems. In fact the family were just
getting to the point where their cows,
their chickens and their pigs would
furnish good share of their food. Mr.,
Hanson was absent at the Edick coal
mine. Mrs. Hanson took her three little
children and went over to Nels Olson's
place, the fire then being quite distance
away. Before she got back home the
fire had reached the Hanson place, al.
though she ran all the way. The stable
caught and burned down, together with
the haystack, the granary. the two COWS,
the two calves, the two pigs, and all of the
chickens but three. The worst of it
was that the children, the youngest
baby about two years old, were greatly
dependent on the COWS for food. Two
subscription lists were started, and one
OF the lists, this morning, showed
that $3.50. four sheep and two pigs had
been contributed; and the other solicitor,
up to yesterday. had raised about $12,
besides which one neighbor had given
calf and another neighbor had come for
ward with some sheep and chickens. The
main idea of those circulating the lists was
to get another new -milch COW for the little
ones-the baby in particular. And, as is
usual in North Dakota where such con-
ditions exist, nine out of ten of the
settlers asked gave something to the
unfortunate ones.
