Charges ArsWered,

Replying to communication from &.
L. Hayward, of Garden City, Clark
county, S. d., asking for information as
to certain statements made by Freeman
Knowles of Deadwood, in a recent
speech in that place, State Treasurer
Phillips submits the following:
PIERRE S. d., Sept. Is, 1896.
G. L. HHYwARD, Garden City, ). ID.
DEAR SIR :-Repiying to yours of the
10Th inst. i'll which you ask for informa-
tion as to statement made by Freeman
Knowles in a speech, made in our city,
in which he stated that at the time Of
the issue of 100000 of state funding
warrants / deposited $4,000 in the
banks of Deadwood, and that before the
state received one solitary cent of bene-
hit from the above warrants (S75,000) l
had paid $1,000 interest money.
There is not a word of truth in the
statement. The facts in the matter are
as follows: On February 8, 1895, this
office negotiated the sale of $4,000 of
funding warrants with the American
National bank of Deadwood, and the
funds were placed to my credit as state
treasurer on February IL, 1895. There
were warrants registered and not paid
| for want of funds at that time SAG, 1857
On receipt of the above funds registered
warrants to the amount of $4,000 were
Immediately called for payment, at
which time interest ceased.
On February IA, 1895, this office nego-
tiated the sale of $4,000 of state funding
warrants with the First National bank
of Deadwood. The funds were placed
to our credit February %, 1895. At that
time the total amount of warrants reg
istered and not paid for want of funds
was S63, ,06S.09. On February 20 all reg
istered warrants were called for pay
ment
On March IL, 1895, negotiated the
sale Of 1925, 900 of revenue warrants with
Messrs Mason, Lewis & Co., of Chicago.
The funds were placed to our credit
| March l6, 1895, since which time the
state has been on a cash basis.
On April ]. 1895, 100000 of funding
warrants were paid from the proceeds
of the last named sale, which were is-
sued and outstanding at the time be-
came state treasurer. The total amount
of funding warrants outstanding at the
time assumed the duties Of this Office
was S220,000. And the total amount OF
funding or revenue warrants outstand-
ing at the present time is $3.50 coo, which

Burning Coal Banks.

S. P. Morrell and +. A. McEveny re-
turned last Saturday afternoon from the
tt ranch, in Wyoming, where they
built dwelling house for T. n. Mat.
thews, the cattleman. The TT ranch is
almost directly south Of Gillette, on the
Belle Fourche river, and the country
about there is very rough and broken,
being cut up by the Belle Fourche and
its tributaries. Three miles from the
ranch is burning coal field, and its
presence may be easily detected by the
odor of burning sulphur that pervades
the air for a radius of ten miles or more.
Mr.. Morrell visited this field, and says
to all appearances it has been afire for
centuries, and, indeed, Indian traditions
bear out that supposition, for they tell
of the existence Of underground fires
in that immediate section when their
earliest fathers first visited the place.
The coal vein lies about fifteen or
twenty feet below the surface, and as
the fire has consumed the coal the earth
has crumbled, until large hollow area,
with precipitous banks, tells where the
fire has been. Under these banks the
fire is still alive, and the ground is
warmed for several yards, while the
sulphurous fumes are suffocating, In
one crack, caused by the earth prepar.
ing to topple away from their bank, Mr.
Morrell says he could see the fire, re.
sembling large, red hot coal, or, more
closely, molten iron, at depth of fif
teen feet. 1t does not blaze, but smould'
ers along; hence the consumption Of
the coal body is very slow, but steady

A recent Yankton special says: A
prominent politician, who has spent the
greater part of his life in Dakota politics
and who has recently made a trip
through the state to learn something OF
the situation, says Of the result Of his
investigations "The republicans are
putting up the greatest fight ever known
in this state, and the liberality of the
national committee in sending scores OF
prominent speakers into South Dakota
is extremely gratifying to the campaign
managers. Every inch of ground is
being contested, and the state Will be
carried for Mckinley and sound money
by overwhelming odds. There have
been distributed some twelve hundred
thousand pieces of literature, or an
average of about five pieces to every
man, woman and child in the state
This sound money and tariff literature
has been sent to every nook and corner
of each and every township, and il
making new converts every hour"

Petigrew's Artesian Speech.

Pettigrew, the senator, is now full
fiedged pop, with all the calamity howl
ing aud kicking proclivities common to
that ever restless and sorely disturbed
political organization. A recent dis
patch from Artesian gives the following
extract from his speech delivered in
that place:
"In his speech here Saturday night
Pettigrew said the supreme court of the
United States was composed Of corpora
tion lawyers, who decide cases in the
interest of monopolsts and when
Bryan would be elected they would bo
replaced by honest men as fast as they
died off-and may God hasten their re-
moval." The usual courtesy of the good
people Of Artcsan toward public
speakers is all that saved him from
being Missed from the stage. He says
Il am very anxious to debate with Nc
kinley on the financial question and /
would swipe him Off the face of the
earth" Pettigrew devoted twenty
minutes to abusing Mr.. Butterworth.
He said: poor old Ben! The last
dirty job he had was defending Breckin-
ridge" Throughout his whole speech
his language was anything but courte-
Gus and refined.
What is the matter with that good
consistent, liberal-minded senator OF
ours? One would naturally expect a
little something better from him after
sending him to Washington for seven
years. Possibly it is due to his espousal
of down.in-the.hee cause.

Carl Schurz, who participated in the
great crime Of 7S, thus refers to that aw
ful (?) event in his recent speech in
Chicago: "But hear myself asked, if
this is so, why was this act of 1878
pa sed secretly, epttiously, stealth
lily? For silver orators have been per-
sistently dinning into the popular ear
for many years, until millions believed
'assassinated' through the law Of 1878
by some dark, corrupt plot. This fable
has been so often and so authoritatiyely
disproved that l am unwilling to take it
up again in detail. Senator Sherman
did that recently in a most conclusive
manner. | will only add that / was a
member Of the senate at the time and
know whereof affirm; and emphatic
ally pronounce all the stories about the
act of 1873 being passed surreptitously ;
about senators and members being
somehow hypnotized, so that they did
not know what they were doing; about
some Englishman being on the ground
with much money to promote the
demonetization of silver, and so on, as
wholly and unqualifedly false. wish
to be scrupulously courteous to my op-
ponents. But as conscious student Of
contemporaneous history am bound to
say that in the forty years during which
have been an attentive observer OF
public affairs | have never witnessed
nor heard of such INSCRIPTIONS, shame
less, persistent, audacious, cumulative,
gigantic lying as has been and is now
done with regard to the act of 1878, its
origin, its nature. and its consequences. ~

Thomas B. Reed, in his introduction
to Protection and Prosperity" says
Somehow or other, times like these are
great educators. How very fine used to
be the sneer about lifting ones self by
the boot straps! How clear used also
to seem the demonstration that taxes
could create nothing What fine,
large mouth the consumer had those
days, and how puny and worthless
seemed the hands of the producer!
Now the untitled mouth has discovered
who owns the hands. This book will
show you that this has been the history
of nations, hundred times; nay, it has
been the history Of our own nation half
a score Of times in our short life. Like
the Spanish Grandee in the Cemetery
we were well and wanted to be better,
took medicine, and here we are. IL it
worth while to undergo this death and
resurrection again? We shall never do
it if we lay fast hold on the facts Of the
universe. There will be time come
when nations will be no more, when
the brotherhood Of man be established.
when communication may be so rapid,
when we shall be so equally advanced
in civilization. that nobody will care
where he lives or is buried when
distance shall break no ties, and when
the universal language is spoken by
everybody without accent; in that time
we may lose nationality and become
citizens Of the world. Then free trade
may reign. But such time will not
happen within the hundred years which
centre in thaC week when two English
speaking nations were ready to clutch
each other by the throat about a bound.
ary thousands of miles away, and the
German emperor was ready to fight the
kingdom of his grandmother about some
people in Africa whose ancestors left
the fatherIand SO long ago that history
is not quite sure they did leaye it
Nationality is fact, brotherhood is a
hope. Perhaps if we liye up to our fact,
that may be the best way to arrive at
our hone"

Under the republican system our ex-
port trade was sustained and it gave a
balance in our favor. Reinaugurate it,
and our present disturbances will soon
be adjusted and our financial perplexi
ties will largely, if not altogether, right
themselves. With a republican victory
in November the conditions that existed
in the early part oflS92 may be restored,
confidence return, and that splendid era
Of republican prosperity again bless the

The policy of protection has been
thoroughly tested in this country with
the most favorable results in q number
of instances. The New York Mail very
pertinently says: THE history Of pro-
lection is the record of the most pros
porous and glorious 80 years of our
national life. The marvellous develop.
ment ofresources, the magical expansion
of our industrial interests and the mag
nificent growth Of the nation in power
and influence have taken place under
the fostering care of tariff protection
Wherever there has been a breakdown
in the averages of prosperity, or wher-
ever there has been a downward
tendency in enterprise, wages or values,
1t has been due TO q temporary depart
ure from the protective principle and
the adoption of free trade. Protection
has invariably been attended by good
times, and low tariffs have invariably
been followed by periods Of depression
and hardship. The vital issue of 1896
is protection. Keep it before the people
and the people will do the rest"
