movement, and are doing It itOicOurse
to enchance the value OF their silver
by having the governmnns double
it's price. 1t has been charged and
not denied by him, that many, in
Guiding Bryan himself, have been
paid by these silver milli0n0ires a
regular salary to talk silver during
the past two or three venrs. so the
popnlist who attempts the Use OF
prejudice against wealth does 50 be-
cause he doesn't know any better.
Ofcoursc, as an abstract PROPOSE
tion there isneither merit nor sense
in an appeal TO mans prejudice or
passions to influence him. It is det-
rimental to the individual and to
the country. But few fellows who
aspire 10 leadership have SO con
stanHy endeavOred to arouse the
prejudice OF men that they can not
think there is anything else inleader-
ship, and to this cause largely is due
the fact that populism can not grow
or succeed in this country. Tod
many OF the leaders are simply ap
pealing to prejudice for temporary
advantage, inyaribly at the expense
OF their own cause.

Our populist friends will notice
that Watson was not notified at
New York OF his nomination with
Bryan; that SewaIl did not pull oil
that Mr. Bryan has not yet accepted
the pOpulist nomination or plat
form. Can any one now dispute our
statement that there is no pOpulist
party: Members Of that party in
Hand county are at liberty now to
go where they please.

\ great many people may not un-
derstand the money question, but
here is simple thing that all men
know. While Harrison was press
dent only four yearSago, anu Mchln-
lev protection was in force, the coun-
try as whole was very prosperous.
The records show this, and no intel
lioent man denies it. Democratic
success with threatened free trade
and tariff reform came IN 1892, ana
the country has struggled ever since
with the most gigantic panic in its
history. This is so, is it not? OF
course. and the same money stand
ard prevailed then as now. That is
why the republican party says the
trouble is not with our money. And
to Il man who stops to candidiy
think il out for himself, it looks that
wav. does it not? What does the
ordinary man care about legal ten
deg.s. subsidiary coins, how much
silver was produced in 'steen hun
dred and two, the crime OF '73, or
what Mexico does, etc. What we
want 10 know is, what ails this coun-
Try? Why is our capital and why
are our laborers idle? What caused
that panic? These things exist now
and have existed ever snce democrat
cy won. These did not exist when
BENJAMIN Harrison was president,
and the Mckinley law was IN force.
1t would seem to be the part OF Wis
dom for us to go back to republicans
ism and to Mckinley protection.
That's just what republicans want
to do, reader. It's the democrats
who don't want to do it, and they
are irving to fool us by saying some
thing else will cure us OF all our ills.
In 1892 they gave us democracy and
free trade. 1t was dismal failure
wasn't it? Shall we let them TOOL us
again ON any dcdgel You tell!

Judge Palmer. the new silver pop,
stated in n speech. at Canton, 5. D..
last week: Il am wiling TO cOncede
that free silver is not n benefit TO the
working man" and still he and
Bryan pretend TO be for the down
trOdden masses and "tOiing mill
ions" If free silver is not Il good
thing for the laboring man, who is
it good for? All men but plutes are
laborers. But even suppose he only
meant day laborers and skilled Ia
borers, and not producing farmers,
what benefit could frea silver be to
farmers? Ii it is not goo9 for labor
ers, and would not give them more
wages or more employment how
could they pay for and consume
what the farmer produces? Now,
candidiy, if iree silver does not bene-
fit the laboring masses, does Palmer
expect to convince farmers that
plutes will consume their products
Our bright and erratic friend Palmer
has truly made some peculiar breaks
this year.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1896-08-20

Today we are enjoying democracy
and tariff reform-and 81 per cent OF
our skilled labor is idle. Men can
not buy products and be consumers
when they are idle. Under protec-
ton these men were employed and
consumed 150,O0O,O0O bushels Of
wheat more each year OF Hrrrisons 5
administration than they do now.

When William Bryan gets back
home to Nebraska. and if ne is real
ly suffering for a debate with some
one, there is one William Sterling,
another "boy orator" now a resi-

him wish that he had lost his voice"

1t is generally understood that news
papers are run, principally for the
benefit of the editors health. This is
especially true of party paper. The
paper supports party candidate be-
cause its editor loves to do such things
Months before every election he
fills each issue of his paper with praises
of candidates and urgings of votes for
them. OF course after his candidates
are safely landed in office, the printer
feels happy. He knows all the official
patronage in his line will come to his
hands. That is, it will if he lives in
some counties. He will print the
official stationery and blanks, he will
get notices and other public work
Perhaps he will get as much as $50 OIL
800 worth of work a year. If how
ever, this printer lives in Audubon
county he don't. The Audubon county
printer supports his party candidate
and the candidate, when he gets int
Office, forgets the very existence of hi
party paper. He gets his work don,
where he pleases. His party..paper Cal
go to the deuce. What does tn
county official care whether his part,
paper lives or dies. The paper will
always be in line, will take a slap OF
both sides of the face, and will stan,
right up to the rack, and support tn
official, when he comes up for re-elec
ton. The printer don't care bit hoy
he is treated in matters of this kind
He loves to support candidates for tn
pure fun in the game. That is all h
is running party paper for anyway
The party paper supports the candi
date and the candidate supports som
other fellow. Oh, its lots of fun.

THE STATE TREASURY.

In accordance with a resolution
adopted by the legislature, treasurer of
state, John Herriott. has prepared and
submitted statement of the condi-
ton confronting the state treasury at
the present time.
As has been known for some time
the condition of the treasury is not the
best, and something must be done, and
done soon, or the treasurer will have
to begin labelling warrants, "not paid
for want of funds" ...a
Mr.. Herriott's report is model of
clear statement regarding the causes
of the present exigency III the states
finances, and his recommendations for
relief are clearly and plainly set forth
In his report Mr.. Herriott says that
the present conditions are not because
of encouragement or of extravagent
appropriations, but because appropria'
tions have, with the growth OF
the state necessarily increased, while
at the same time revenues have de-
creased, by reason of there, seemingly
being less taxable property in Iowa al
the present time. than there was sever
al years ago. This Of cot rse, us every
body knows is not the case. There Is
without doubt large amount OF
taxable property that yearly escapes
assessment, this too, is often that class
of property which pays the larges
dividends. Another evil is the habi
of listing property at a low valuation
and then putting the tax levy way W
in order to even matters The treas
urer again says, that each township
puts its rates as low as possible, an(
tries to shift its burden of taxes ont,
the other townships of the county, an,
the counties repeat the performance
in regard to each other.
For reformatory measurers, tn,
treasurer suggests that the propert.
should be assessed at the real valua
ton and the tax levy based thereon, ant
that the state either assume direct con
troll of the assessment, or that count,
assessors be appointed, who will
have complete charge of the work o
property valuation. In closing the re
port he says that something must b,
done in the very near future or thu
treasury will have to stamp warrants
and the state will have incurred I'm
necessary interest and taxes, or appro
priatiOnS will have to be cut off.

The following from Walter Well
mans special correspondence gives a
fair idea of the situation in the United
Senate, and of the way that remark
ably courteous body lets on to transact
business: "The senate is in a queer
condition at best. No party has an
absolute majority, though the repub.
licans come very near it. Neither
party is united on any financial ques-
ton, and between the two are the sill
yer men, playing fast and loose, now
coquetting with one party and then
with the other, but always seeking the
advantage of the cause which they so
skillfully represent. The oldest sena-
tors are puzzled to know what the out
come of it all is to be. Some think the
silver substitute to the tariff will be
beaten and that the house measure will
yet pass without amendment. The
more reasonable view appears to be
that there will be 10 direct vote on the
question for long time to come, and
perhaps not at all. In the senate it is
always easy to secure delay, and delay
is what great many senators are
seeking. All hands appear to be play
ing in politics, and it is expected the
game will continue to the last, for nc
one forgets that the presidential cam
paign is coming rapidly upon u.s."

That soldiers monument is causing

That soldiers monument is causing
great deal of trouble for the legisla-
tors and other concerned and uncon-
cerned people. The location, the
medallions, of living soldiers, the
bronzes, the figure of victory, the whole
thing in fact, from the foundation up,
and back again is causing one con-
tinual "kick" from some aggrieved
person. 1t really seems that the state
of Iowa, in attempting to honor her
soldiers has only succeeded in raising
a much to be regretted dissension.

congressman and every influential

Fifty-one thousand dollars is the
cost of the code commission up to date
and the general opinion seems to be
that the work of the commission is
valueless, as far as the revision work
is concerned. With such an expendi.

cally no purpose, it is not surprising
that the state treasurer is asking for
an increase of funds.
