Letter from comrade Mcvay.

The time will soon be here for another
election, and am wondering II the vo-
ters of Lincoln county and the state OF
South Dakota will have forgotten the big
steal.
Times are worse, if there is any differ
ence, than they were year ago. Prices
are lower for all farm produce. yet our
taxes are higher. My own taxes are ex-
actly $40 II more than last year, about
twenty per cent. higher. Now there
must be reason for this. l believe it is
the duty of every taxpayer, of every vo-
ter to find out if he can where the fault
is. That there is a niger in the wood
pile is very evident and now the thing is
to get him uncovered.
for one am in favor Of bran new
outfit. If they should be equally as hun
CRY, trust they will be little more
modest. They won't gobble up all the
victuals and then choke themselves with
the platter.
1t was the opinion Of Thomas Jefferson
that political partles holding different
views and contesting each others opin-
ions. were necessary for the liberty Of the
people in a democratic government. If
this is true, it is evident that the more
equal they are IN numbers the better it
will be for all concerned. Human nature
is naturally inclined to selfishness. Let
any maa, or r'number Of men, become in
stalled in any position OF trust or power
and let them begin to feel that they are
secure, no matter what they do, and if
there is any seltishness, greed or dishon-
esty in their makeup it will develope it.
self. i may be wrong, but fear that
right here the trouble lies.
This state has been ruled so long by
one party that they have come to think
they have mortgage on it and all that is
within it.
Would 1t not be glorious il the people
Of South Dakota should rise up once in
their independence and manhood and
teach bossism that this is free country ?
Let all the people say amen.
J. H. MCVAY.
