ANNEXED TO CANADA.

LET US sING:-'GoD SAVE THE
QUEEN."
Our forefathers were great fools to
fight eight years to liberate them
selves from the benign government of
Great Britain; for we are right back
now under the royal petticoats.
Read this and see how our Minister
to England is "commanded' to wait
on the Queen and obeys:
London, Nov. A.-Thomas F. Bay
ard, the United States ambassador,
and Mrs. Bayard, were commanded"
today to visit Windsor Castle on
Thursday next. and dine with the
queen. Mr.. and Mrs. Bayard will also
sleep at the ca tie that night, and Mr..
Bayard, in conseq uence, has been OBJ
liged to cancel his engagement to pre-
side at the Thanksgiving dinner Of
the American colony here.
And here is another interesting
item, in the same connection. from
one of the Minneapolis papers:
The Pillsbury- Washburn Flour COM
pany's report for the year ending Oct.
81, states that the net profits, includ-
ing g. ,663 brought forward. amounted
to e106. 979, as against e73,333 for the
previous year. After paying the in
terest on the Ge5entureS there re-
mains balance of EGG. 379, which the
directors deal with in the following
manner:
Interest on sinking fund on prefer
ence income certificates, 900; one
years dividend on the preferred
shares, 100000; to general reserve
fund, 10000; leaving to be carried
forward, G2,379.
Here we perceive that our American
system of financial nomenclature is
set aside, and the English system, of
pounds, shillings and pence, takes its
place. Hallelujah!
And note too that during the last
year this English concern, which can
not condescend to express itself in the
currency of our country, made over
$3.50, 900 net profit grinding the farm
ers' wheat, while the farmers that
raised the wheat we're covered with
mortgages and struggling to live.
Hurrah for Mckinley? We are get
ting there.
Stand up and take off your hats and
all sing together.
''Make her victorious.
Happy and glorius,

says that there is a considerable num-
Der of Democrats all over the country
who believe in tariff with incide ntal

Mr.. Bynum called particular atten-

votes cast at the election shows that
at least a million sound money Demo-
Gratis refused to support Bryan. OF

The News evidently lost sight of the
fact in the statement that the Popu-
list vote is reality; it is a known
quantity and gives US 10 states.
What we suppose the Nonconform-
ist means is that Bryan carried 10
states by the help Of the Populist vote,
which he would not have carried with
out that vote.

Il BET DECIDED.
HOW THE MINNESOTA FARMER IS PRO-
TECTED,

TECTED.
Editor Representative:
Please decide bet:
"A" bets that the big milling corpo-
ratiOns buy wheat in Manitoba and
bond it and grind and ship it out Of
the United States without paying
any tariff.
"B'' bets that they cannot do sc and
that they have to pay tariff even il
they do grind and ship it out of the
United States.
Please answer the above through
The REPRESENTATIVE, and give the
facts ia the case. Very truly yours.
James Hanna.
Hector, MINI.
In answer to the foregoing letter
from Senator Hanna we would say
that the Millers pay the tariff charges
on wheat imported from Manitoba,
the same as any one else. but after
they grind it they ship it to New York
and then to England; and, under an
arrangement, secured for them in the
Treasury Department., by the late
Senator Window, they get rebate
paid to them equal to the amount
they paid of tariff charges; SO that
they really pay nothing under the
tariff. This is one of the nice soft
snaps. for the encouragement of
"American industry,''-th mills be-
ing now owned by an English syndi-
cate, who keep their accounts in
pounds, shillings and pence, and sing
God save the Queen every day under
the shadow Of the American flag,
which played so conspicuous a part in
the recent political campaign. Char
ley Pillsbury is drum major of the pa
triotic brass band, and one Of the
noblest Republicans of them all!
Even this isn't all. The foxy crowd
in this beautiful city pretend, to the
United States government. that it
takes more bushels Of wheat to make
a barrel Of flour than are really re-
quired, and thus they get more for rebate
than they paid for tariff charqesN
And this acts as premium to in
duce them to buy wheat in Manitoba,
instead of from the fool farmers of
Minnesota, who sustain all this beau
tiful performance with their votes!
And they are happy. For are they
not protected oy a tariff against Cana
dian wheat? OF course they are!-God
bless their idiotic old souls! And they
wear Mckinley buttons and howl
themselves hoarse for Projection!
OF course they do! Protection with
a hole in the bottom Of the kettle,
through which the farmers soup all
runs into the English millers' mouths.
We live and move and have our be-
ing by the grace Of Queen Victoria
and the Rothschilds!-And we are the
successors @ of the men of 1776, who
licked the stutting out of old George
III and his Tory supporters; when
they had but 3, 100000 people, and now
we have 70.00O,OOO and we are a prov
ince of Great Britain. We don't even
own our own breweries. We can't get
drunk without paying tribute to John
Bull.
Glory hallelujah! Where are the
Prohibitionists?
Be very sure to see that there is an
American flag on every school house
and a mortgage on every farm.
We decide that "B" has lost the bet.
He will please pay the amount in Eng
lish currency. and apologize for be-
lieving that there is anything in this
country that does not hide swindle.

We had hoped to be able to write
Congressman Motsinger' from
Shoals, Ind. He has made fine race
and would have been elected, had it
not been for the report on the eve Of
the election that he had withdra wn
from the race. The parties who Cir
culated the rumOr need some de-OdOr-
iZer to make them refOrmers even for
Bryan Democrat, and good fumi-
CATION before they can enter the Popu-
list fold. Mr.. Motzinger deserves the
credit for the silver education of his
district, and the Nonct nformist be-
lieves in giving credit to whom credit
is due.-Indianapolis Nonconformist.
We are sorry for Mr.. Motsinger's de-
feat. He was one of the leaders of the
Midd!e-of-the-R Road element at the St.
Louis Populist convention. and is a
man of marked ienergy and ability.
We hope our friends in his district
will see that he, is, put forward again
in 1898. os1

FROM A CITY PITFALL
How Lawyer DAILY Got His Coun-
try Client Out of
HoIe

John Conlon OF Smartsville Yuba County,
literally got into hole during the storm
Thursday night, and his rescue was one
of those enjoyable Incidents seen once in
years, or perhaps in lifetime.
Conlon, just in from the country, was
laughing at an umbrella turned in the
wind at Market and Montgomery streets
when his hat parted company with him
and made black speck up at the tenth
story of the Crocker building. From the
umbrella his attention turned to the hat
which presently swooped downward like a
falling rocket-stick down into an area of
the Crocker building twelve feet below the
sidewalk.
As Conlon saw his hat fall he impulsively
scramb bled over the railing, and lowering
himself by his hands dropped to the bot
tom.
The nat was there in the wet and dark
Mesa little battered, but still in the
arena, so to speak, and Conlon put it once
more upon the top of himself. 1t was
much easier getting into that hole and re-
covering the hat than returning to a
level with all things mortal-iust twelve
feet higher up in the world.
DAILY wished his client good cheer and all
manner OF pleasant things in approved
legal style. but Conlon only prayed to be
taken out of the hole. And the rain came
down in torrents on the good and bad
alike-even upon the man situated like
Mr.. McGinty.
Lawyer Daily took off his heavy ulster
and forthwith proceeded to haul Conlon
to the earth above. Hoist awayr' came
from below, and willing hands overhead
began to pull on the coat. Presently there
came a crash--Conlon had fallen back
ward, with the two sleeves of the attor-
ney's coat in his grasp. By this time a
large crowd had gathered around the area
railing.
''Is that you, McGinty?" some one
asked.
I'm in hole" came back in ventriI-
oquist tones. And then the crowd got
rope from the Palace Hotel, and, with
pull altogether, hoisted the visitor from
