Republican Platform.


= The republicans OF South Dakota, in
convention represented, affirm their full
faith in and ALLEGIANCE to the declaration
Of principles adopted by the national
republican convention at st. Louis in it's
entirety, constituting a platform OF a
great and progressive party, proud OF its
past record and achievements, courage
Gus in it's championship of the right and
unfaltering in the maintenance OF its po-
litical tenets.
9. We recognize in William McKin-
ley, our candidate for president, and
Garret A. Hobart, the nominee for vice
president, two typical Americans, tried
in the public service and found able and
true, pure in their lives, untarnished in
their honor and close to the people in
their experiences and sympathies, and
We pledge to them our most hearty and
willing effort and support, with the full
vote of South Dakota in the electoral
college. With such a platform and in
vinclble leader we enter the contest with
the inspiration Of a sure prophecy OF
victory at the polls in November next.
8. We commend the present republl-
can administration Of governmental af-
fairs of this state as honest and conom-
ical, and especially commend it's steady
purpose and effort in exposing and
bringing to speedy punishment a former
defaulting state treasurer, and recover
ing back for the state 30 large a porpor.
ton Of the stolen funds; and We demand a
passage OF an act by our legislature bro
viding adequate punishment for defalc
tons OF public officers.
4 The republican party having al
ways been the friend Of labor and labor
ing men, deplores the frequent strikes
and conflicts between employers and
employed, resulting at times in the de-
~struction OF life and property and grea,
injury to those Immediately concerned
and the public generally, and favors the
settlement Of all questions OF dispute
arising between labor and capital by1e'
gally constituted arbitration by which
all parties interested shall be bound.
5. We believe the transportation cor.
porations OF this state are the peoples
public servants; We oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them, but we do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board OF rsilway com
missioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, right
wrongs, and in general to prevent all un.
just determinations, and to provide q
reasonable maximum tariff OF passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con
v~ention Of this state, for the nomination
as members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the question Of legisla'
ton to carry out the meaning and pur'
pose OF this resolution.
: 6. We view with apprehension The
; growth Of corporate power in this coun
t try, ant. especially are We opposed Il
? trusts and combines which during re
! cent years have steadily multiplied, seek
!. ing by unjust and illegal means to STIFF
competition, and thereby, while fsttsriDl

Resolved, That since the assembling OF

they are making them in the wrong way.
They are taking medicines prepared by in
competent nurses, or inexperienced physi-
clans. They are daily submitting to exam
nations and local treatment, for which there
is generally no necessity. They are grow
ing steadily worse instead of steadily better.
There is no reason why almost every wo-
man should not be we'll and strong. Over
thirty years ago, DR.. R. ". Pierce, of Buff
falo, an eminent and successful specialist in
the treatment of the diseases of women,
discovered a wonderful specific for woman's
diseases that has since become world-fa-
nous as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t cures all forms Of female weakness and
disease. Its effect is Immediately percepti-
BILE in the better feeling of the patient. It
forces out impurity, soothes the infamma-
ton that is always present in disorders of
this kind, promotes regularity, and stops
facilitating drains on the system. 1t cures
nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, lack
of appetite, lack of vitality.

and its successful pursuit requires less
brain power less intellect. less of the
better and refined qualities of human ma
ture than any other important calling.
And the enormous profits of silver min
ing in the past are not to be taken as a
guide to the possible profits under free
silver coinage in the future. Recent in
ventions, and especially the development
of electricity. have made it possible to
operate mines far more easily and cheap
ly than by the old methods. A turbine
water wheel can be put in a canyon
twenty miles away and the power car
ried to a mine of high altitude by an
electric wire. Should free coinage COM
pei the American people to accept the
miners output as standard money the
world would be astonished at the flood
of silver that would roll from the mines
to the mints.
The United States mint directors re-
port for 1894 estimates that 145 mines pro-
duce more than half the worlds product
of silver-s226. 600 worth last year-and
that the average cost of mining it. ex-

per ounce fine. The present market price
is 63 cents. The free-coinage campaign
is to force the people to pay s1.29.

A Fable for the Times.

Once upon a time there lived in forest
an elephant and sixteen donkeys, all OF
whom We're very fond of a game of see
saw. As 1t was found that. by placing
the elephant upon one side of huge
plank and the sixteen donkeys on the 9TH
err a perfect equilibrium was maintained.
the sport was continued for a long time.
and yielded its participants much pleas
ure. One day the donkeys became sep
arated from the elephant. AS misfortunes
are said to be too sociable to come singly.
a famine then struck the land. and by the
tune 1t was over. the donkeys, emaciated
by hunger. had been reduced to One-half
their former weight. AT this time they
were overjoyed by again meeting the ele-
plant. and proposed a return to the old
game of see-saw. The elephant whose
bulk had meanwhile undergone no
change. upon seeing their condition at
tempted to dissuade them; but, by vote
OF Is to !. they overcame his objections
and the donkeys then arrayed themselves
upon one side of the plank. When the
elephant mounted the other side. the
plank came down under his weight with
a heavy crash. the donkeys were thrown
Violently into the air. fell into an adjoin-
ing abyss, and were never heard of
again.
Moral: A donkey can never adapt him
self to changed conditions.

The system of book keeping practised
by the silver trust for public inspection
is IA most wonderful system. On its face
1t bears all the marks of the most rigid
honesty. II is most simple system. for
the lawmaking powers of the silver
states are so entirely within the control
of the trust that no laws are enacted that
would in any way embarrass it. Occa-
sionally ii happens that the profits OF
some particular fragment OF the trust
reach such tremendous proportions that
something is done to cover up Its sue
cess. Two instances of this character
will suffice. In the last returns sent to
this city and published last Saturday is

The building in which Mark Hanna pre-
sides is a hive of Republican industry 1t
has turned out already 1.e00. 600 political
documents. and more than $780, 900 printed
pages and a force of eighty men is en-
ployed to ship campaign literature to all
parts of the country.
Such thing has never been known in
American politics before. These docu-
ments are printed in German. Polish Be-
hemian, Flemish. Norwegian Swedish.
French, Italian, YiddiSh and English
On the ground floor of the building is
the commercial travellers bureau; on the
second floor are the quarters of the exec
utive committee. dominated by Hanna.
Poyne. Dawes and Durbin. Next is the
speakers bureau. which has something
like 400 orators on the list. while in the
upper parts of the building are the litera-

it has only paid 50, SOS. 500 in dividends.
and that it's last dividend was % per
cent. paid in 1895. The fact is. however.
that previous to the consolidation. which
took place in August 1884. the California
had paid S31 800 600 in dividends. and the
Virginia had paid s42. 800 900. So. instead
of the dividends amounting to only S.
S3s,S00, they actually amount to 500.
Here is the other case:
According to the returns the Dead
wood-Terra Company, of South Dakota.
is capitalized at s5O00.000. 1t has only
paid s1240OO0 in dividends. and its last
dividend of 50 per cent. was paid in Au
gust last Before these two interests
were joined the Deadwood paid 900 in
eleven dividends and the Terra had paid
$4,000. Instead of these properties yield
ing only 81 240. 900 in dividends. they have
yielded 81, $780, 900.
The accompanying table shows the
profits of some of the great mines which
produce silver ore exclusively and silver
mixed with copper and lead.
Here are thirty mining properties that
are capitalized for $171 900 and that
