Dreadful


T. q %
No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as umatism-that de-
plorable condition of the blood which
SO often renders the strongest man as
helpless as babe. Their mcrcurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is y deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-callcd blood reme-
dies arc at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
Rheumatism is a tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. s. S.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
About five years ago was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. I was
treated by all the leading physicians

The Australian ballot is very sim ple
thing when once understood. Nine ou

If the voters would follow the instruc-
tions given on the sample ballots and
posted in the polling places the errors
would be reduced to minimum.
Before voter ever accepts regular
ballet from the judges he should care
fully examine sample ballot, which is
always an exact fac simile of the regu-
Slar ballot except in the color of the
pAper. By 50 doing he familiarizes him
self with tho location of every name on
the ballot and no further examination
of the cumbersome sheet is necessary
when taken from the hands of the
Judges.
On the ballot for Brule county the
Bryan and Sewell electors. the Demo-
cratic county ticket and The Populist
state ticket are grouped under the name
OF Peoples Party.
Upon entering the polling booth first
place a cross within the circlo at the top
of your party tiuket.
II there is any candidate on your
ticket for whom you do not desire to
vote erase his name by drawing line
through it and place cross in the little
square to the left Of the name oftne can
didate for that Office on the other ticket
providing you desire to vote for him.
Then pass over to the right of the
tick0t and vote oD the amendments. Ii

B7 following these simple instruc-
tions an error is impossible. The voter
voter should keep carefully in mind
three important points:
i l. II the cross is placed in more than
one circle or If the cross is not within
the circle the entire ballot must be
thrown out.
z. If cross Is placed in the circle at

3. The crosses for individual cardi-
dates must be upon the left side and ju

The Chicago Records postal card
election returns from South Dakota show
159 electors who voted for Harrison that
have declared their intention OF voting
for BRYAN and only 95 who voted for
for Cleveland who say they are going to
vote for Mckinley. II the Records re-
turns are any indication of the strength
of the two candidates it shows that for
every 95 votes Bryan loses from the
Democrats he gains 1853 from the Re-
puplicans-nearly two for one-which
means that he will carry the state by a
good round majority.

They Have rrfedI,.

Ine pr0hlbltiOnlSts are endeaYOring to
work up an enthusiasm in this state to
offset the sober Judgement which seven
years experience has found it. They
make no attempt at square argument,
but appeal entirely to emotions. 1t is
worth while for the people of the state
to look at the facts OF tile case. This is
not the first state 70 experiment with
prohibition. Altogether sixteen OF the
greatest commonwealth in the land
have tried 1t. Realizing the evils of
drunkenness and dehauchery, and hoping
to reduce them Maine in 1864 adopted
the Dow law. Following the enthusiasm
which carried that state by storm and

was an imposing array. The temper
ance leaders confidently predicted the
early passage Of a national law. Their
prediction became disappointment. OF
all the splendid list only three remain.
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
New York did not put her law in force.
Delaware and Illinois after two wears of
trial abandoned theirs. Indiana and
Nebraska in three years, Massachusetts
in sixteen, Connecticut in eighteen and
Michigan in TWENTY-FIVE. Tis formed a
remarkable recession Of the wava, and
for time the prohibition element was
qulescent. About ten years ago another
mighty onslaught was made, and from
1887 to 1880 the pruiibitory constitutions
al amendment was submitted in thirteen
states. Only two. North and South
Dakota, adopted it. Pennsylvania re-
jected it by 1sS,027 majority, Texas by
9l,357, Massachusetts by 1880, West
Virginia by a4,ss7, Nebraska by 29,436,
Tennessee by 27.693, Connecticut by 27,-
500; Rhode Island by 1889, Washington
by 1l.943, Oregon by 1885, and even New
Hampshire by $3.50. Thus in these
thirteen states, comprising the most
thrifty and progressive commonwealth
in the land 927,304 voters expressed the
wish for a prohibi,ory amendment.
Eight states out Of forty five retained the
prohibitory amendment. Of these Iowa
has already gone over to local option,
and South Dakota has submitted q pro-
hibitory amendment. The people in
most Of the sober, prosperous states have
tried the experiment. lley have found
that state wide prohibition Increases the
consumption OF liquor. the number of
saloons, the amount Of fsunkeness, the
amons:alta of panperism and crime, and has
largely demoralized the communities.
They have gone back to system under
which each locality is allowed to govern
its own affairs, and deal with the drink
habit and its resulting lawlessness in its
own way. That South Dakota will do so
this fall does not admit of fdoubt.-Argus

excessive rate Of taxation the county

March 1. 1896. there was collected in
Feb. 1855, for the state $2.293.s5 and for
the county $2,44o.25, and that pro.
portion Will hold until all the tax levied
| for that year is collected, making about
5000 which the state government will
take from Sanborn county In one year
leaving but little In excess Of that
amount for the entire county expenses

We also pledge our nominees to the

We believe the passage OF the Wheeler

EDITOR OF THE GRAPHIC:
Immediately after the St. Louis ron-
vention, the gold peoples constant cry
was that this was campaign Of eluca-
ton. and that as tho people became edu-
Gated they would be opposed to the free
coinage OF silver. Over three months
have elapsed, aud great changes
have occurred, not, however, in favor of
the single gold standard, but in favor of
the free coinage of silver.
There seems to the average farmer and
laborer. but one side to this question,
and no intelligent man who makes a
study OF the question. can be in favor of
the single gold standard. OF late, the
gold bugs say but little about educating
the people. In fact, they are beginning
to be greatly alarmed about the people
becoming educated, and ale now making
a systematic effort all over the county,
by lies and treachery, to keep Republic
cans frcm attending free silver meetings
This was done in Eagle township one
evening last week. G0ldbug Tommie
and his cohorts, are now using Doodle,
with which they are making frantic
efforts to purchase the intelligent voters
of the county; and Mark Hanna, that
wretch III human form, on behalf Of the
gold syndicate. and its allies, has been
busy since July last in gathering from
every conceivable source. tho largest
corruption fund ever gathered together
in the world, and has been through his
agents distributing it all over tho county
for the past week, and is still distribut-
ing it with lavis, hands, and will no
doubt keep it Up until election day. The
great and most important question now
is. can our people be bought? viii they
sell their birtllright? Do the farmers
really understand what this fight means
to them? They must understand that
victory to the gold syndicate and its
allies means not only continuance of
our present hard times, but means their
subjugation, and enslavement. Farmers
of Brule county. the great question be-
fore you is, on the one side, Hanna,
plutocracy and misery. or Bryan, pros
perity and liberty.
