The Official Divisional Map of South
Dakota, showing in colors the Black
Hills Gold Mines, the Grazing Lands,
the Artesian Basin, and the Big Sioux
Valley, is an outcome Of the Immigra-
ton Convention held in Mitchell Janu-
airy 10TH. 1896. The Executive Commit
tee of that Convention attempted 10
raise money by appropriation from
counties for the purpose of publishing
a State pamphlet and map. The
plan failed for lack Of means. The
money to publish these maps has been
advanced by private parties, and they
will be sold ut a price to paw the ex.
penscs. Much of the work has been
advanced by pr ivate parties, and they
VIII be old at a price to pay the ex.
penses. Much of the work has been
under the supervision Of Prof. j. l..
Todd, State Geologist, especially as loca.
ton OF lines between the four natural
divisions of the State. He also wrote
the descriptions of the four divisions
which are printed at the foot of the
map. The map is approved by the
Secretary Of State. President of South

Geologist, and the Engineer of Irrisa.

The tariff is an issue which we
must neither overlook nor abandon.
We, in Oregon, produce much wool;
we produce almost no silver. The
American consul at Bradford, Eng
land, has just furnished, in one of
his recent reports, statistics showing
that the amount of woolen goods
shipped from that place alone TO the
United States during eleven months
under the Wilson law was 334,454
pounds, while during the correspond
ing period under the Mckinley law
it was only 510S pounds.

BRYAN'S ABSURDITY.

AT New London, Conn.,, Bryan
yesterday run across Yankee who
punctured his soap bubble as neatly
as it has ever been done. One of
his auditors inquired:
where will we be when we get
free silver?"
Bryan Are you in favor of a
gold standard?
Auditor-I am.
Bryan-Tell me why?
Auditor-Because / believe it is
the best for the country. Every
nation will accept a gold dollar for
a dollar.
Bryan-Why, will tell you. Be-
cause of its value. The reason the
gold dollar and bullion are worth
the same is because the law says you
can convert the bullion into dollar
at the mint.
Now apply Bryan's answer to 412I
grains of copper, iron or aluminium,
or all of these metals, and then
would the world be rich indeed. If
you can make 4124 grains of silver,
now worth So cents, worth 100 cents,
then can you make 4124 grains of
copper, now worth less than two
cents, worth one dollar. If we can
do it with one, then can We with all.
The whole argument reduces itself to
an absurdity.

"You cannot find correct definl-
ton of an honest dollar in the speech
of any of the advocates of the gold
standard. Bryan. Well, little boy
orator, here is one: An honest dol
lar is dollar which, in all respects,
is equivalent to the dollar for which
it is exchanged; dollar paid by a
debtor equivalent to the dollar re-
ceived when the debt was contracted /;
a dollar that bears with it value
equivalent to every other dollar A
dollar which is of less purchasing
power than the dollar we borrow to-
day is a dishonest dollar when our
creditor is compelled by law to take
it in payment of that borrowed
dollar.

Yes, as Bryan says, 1.-The people
are interested in the plank in OUR
platform which declares against what
is known as government by lnjunc-
tion." The people ARE deeply in
terested in having the federal gov
ernment protect the United States
mails and interstate commerce from
mob rule, just as it did during the
Chicago riots. They are deeply in
terested in having government
strong enough, and man at its
head wise and courageous enough, to
resist social and political combus-
ton, and see to it that sedition and
violence do not gain ascendency.
The people should, and do. take a
great interest in the idea promul-
gated by the portion of the boy
orators platform which he refers to-
