J Leisch expires in the third commits.
sioner district and Eugene Clark ap.
peared as candidate for the position.
The bushes Of the convention dragged
along slowly after the appointment Of
the committees. All except the commit
tee on resolutions were ready to report
in few minutes, but the declaration Of
principles required more time to prepare.
The delay indicated q struggle in the
committee. In the mean time the con-
vention idly waited without demonstra-
tions OF any kind. There were no
speeches, nor calls for any, nor any st-
tempt to generate enthusiasm.
The only contest WAS IN Albion pre-
oinct which wss represented by two
contsnding factions. No caucus was
held owing to the temporary loss Of tho
school house key. No ballot was taken or
organization Effected. The three dele.
gates who presented themselves were
seated and given two-thirds votes each.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and the nomination Of
candidates ordered followed as given in
published call. This brought the legis-
Ilative candidates first with the more
important county officers following.
THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
B. W. Fuller was renominated for the
senate by the secretary casting the vote
of the convention. The result was re-
ceived almost in silence.

FARMER AND WAGE GARNER
When One Does Well the Other
PrOSpers.

About one-half of the voters of
the United States are engaged in
agricultural pursuits, as owners of
farms or employees thereon. 1t is
safe to assume that 80 per cent Of
farm-owners and employers of
labor on farms, are receiving no
remuneration for their labor or in
terest on their investment. 1t is
also fact, we'll understood by
those in a position to know, that
at least SO per cent of the agricul-
turists of this country are running
behind yearly, all on account OF
low prices for their products, says
ex-Gov. Hadley Of New Mexico.
The single-standard advocate
admits this, but claims the fact to

OTHER PEOPLES VIEWS.
Some Exceptions.

In his speech Wednesday evening Mr..
Francis quoted the wealth OF this coun-
try as $4,000, 100000 as shown by the
census Of 1890. ...
The gentleman is correct according to
statistics. But what interests the peo-
pie most, just now, Is, not how much
wealth there is in this country, but who
possesses that wealth. Quoting further
from statistics, using only round num-
bers. We ind $1,000 people own three
fourths OF the GA billion, or 4S billion,
while 64.OOO,0O0 people own one-fourth
or l6 billion. M.
Who comprise the $1,000 people? The
Wall street brokers and bankers, the
capitalists and corporations, the Wander
bilts, Astors, Rookafeller, J. Pierpont
Morgan, the Gould family, Belmont and
others and it is worthy Of notice they are
all "gold" standard men. ..
Who comprise the 81 million? The
farmers, the laborers, the mechanics, the
clerks, etc. There Is enough wealth in
this country, but it is owned and con-
trolled by the few, at the expense OF the
many. ....... ...... ..........
II Mr.. Francis was understood cor
rectly, be claimed the large increase IN
wealth from 1860 to 1890 was due to the
"buslness" policy carried out by the re-
publican party. II this be true, Is not
the accumulation of that wealth in the
hands of a few, also the result Of the
business policy OF the repu blican party !?
Quoting from Garfield, THAT the nan
who controls the volume o: the money of
a country, is master Of its Legislation and
commerce. is that policy which has
given $1,000 people control OF three
fourths of this country's wealth, policy
which should receive the endorsement Of
the common people!
Ia speaking of the class of men now
clumorlng free silver, Mr.. Francis said
"the man, whose wife supports him by
her labor at the wash tub is included IN
this class" Circumstances have brought
the writer in more or less close connec-
tion with the laboring women in James
town, and it has been found in the ma
jority of cases, that the vile is at work
because the husband can not get work.
In a report of the secretary OF the Ass o.
ciated Charities in Minneapolis, he says:
"The increased number OF women ap-
plying for work through our labor hu-
reau, is accounted for by the fact that
there is a larger demand for womRn's
Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1896-09-17
be due to the inexorable law of
supply and demand. The product

be due to the inexorable law of
supply and demand. The product
being large, the price is small.
Admitting this to be true, when
measured by the gold dollar, does
not the same rule of supply and
demand, by which all other COM
modities are measured, apply to
gold also? If one.half of the cot
ton or wheat crop were destroyed
and the other half doubled in price
you would rightfully claim tho ad-
vance as due to the short crop.
One-half of our money has been
practically destroyed by legislation
and the other half has doubled in
value. The advocates of bimetal-
lism ask to have the other half
restored by legislation, thus
doubling the amount of real
money, sound money, and by the
same law Of supply and demand
reducing its value one-half, as
measured by the products of labor.
Very few farmers or laborers are
going to be paralyzed or hypno-
tized by your 5O-cent dollar theory
for they see in the near future
bankruptcy and destitution ap-
preaching their homes with gigan-
tic strides, which they cannot
check under the gold standard.
Do not crush the farmer, for upon
him rests every other industry in
our country, even including stock
and grain gambling, trusts. COM
bines and all other monopolies.
That infexible law of supply and
demand is in evidence in the labor
question, just as in the wheat and
money proposition. If you cripple
the farmer by low prices he must
stop employing labor. If the
farmer is unable to buy manufac-
tured goods the manufacturer can
not employ labor. If the mer-
chant cannot sell goods he cannot
employ clerks. If railroads and
other avenues of transportation are
unable to obtain freight and pas
sengers on account Of low prices
for products and the poverty Of the
producers then they must curtail
their expenses and therefore will
reduce to the minimum the num-
Der of their employees.
/ The first question in which the
wage Garner is interested is, "Can
I get employment and secondly,
''What will the wages be?" The
tens of thousands of idle men
today will be increased to hun
dreds of thousands in very short
time if the farming and other in
dustries of the country are to con-
tinue to be crippled by the gold
standard and inevitable low prices
for their products.

From Saturdays Daily.

The republican county convention
called out q full attendance Of delegates.
There was an immense amount OF
csucusinR going on oil the morning.
The candidates were active and efforts
to break what was called the slate pro-
gram seemed unsuccessful.
The convention was called to order by
o. A. Boynton, chairman pro tenn, and
w. E. Berner chosen secretary.
In the preliminary organization the
following committees were appointed by
tho chairman, on motion:

1t hes been years since the republi-
cans of Stutsmsn county have fought
as perslstently and perseveringly for
nominations as they have this fall. This
is particularly true Of the city which has
about sixteen candidates for half q
dozen Of the principle offices. Around

court; Alderman r. B. Moses; E. B.
Dewey, ex-ohief Of police; F. R. Vim.
cent, Frank Eddy and others were
mentioned as rivals and the friends Of
each claimed good backing.
Register Of Deeds McElroy has served

WOULD SAVE BIC MONEY
County Tax List Liable to Be
Invalid. .

The delinquent tax list for Stutsman
county will soon be published for the
1895 tag. At the last meeting of the
board of county commissioners The Alert
submitted proposition to publish this
tax Inst at considerable reduction from
the maximum rates allowed by law to be
charged to property owners. The code
allows as such highest rate 20 cents for
land descriptions and 10 cents for lot
descriptions. The bid Of The Alert was
121 cents for land descriptions and IN
cents for lot descriptions-ressonabl
compensation for this work. The board
OF commissioners refused to save the tax
payers this money and gave the contract
to the North Dakota Capital at the max
imum rates. It is not now known just
how much saving could have been
effected by accepting The Alert's propo-
sition, but it is reported that the de-
scriptions will number some $500 OF
5000, the saving on which would
have amounted to 1925 or more to
the taxpayers Of the county. The COM
missioners asked the advice of the dis
trict attorney on The Alert's proposition
and bis opinion was given them that the
law which stipulates the maximum rates
did not prevent the board from accepting
. less rate if they 20 chose.
Another feature Of the matter was
peculiar to cay the least. 1t was stated
that Deputy Treasurer Nierling had
gwen q portion Of the copy for the tax
list to the Capital some time before the
contract was awarded by the board, and
Z claim was made that il the publishers
did not get the contract great injustice
would have been done them.
This action on the part Of the board in
giving the Capital publishers present
Of the difference between the maximum
rate and The Alert's bid is hard to ex-
plain on any grounds Of the board doing
their duty by the taxpayers. Section
1925 Of the political code requires that
all contracts for stationery, fuel and all
other articles for the use Of the county,
or labor to be performed therefor" when
the amount exceeds 800 shall be adver-
tised for, bids received, an6 the lowest
responsible bidder accepted. The at-
tention of the board, in public manner,
has been called to this section several
times, but no notice Oft appears to have
been taken.
The Alert ls informed that the delin.
quent tax sales in which the law is not
strictly complied with in every sense,
can be successfully attacked in the
courts. The costs of advertising are
charged to each description sold as part
of the costs. II the law which re.
quires work for the county to be adver.
tised for has not been complied with the
grounds for oontesting the legality Of
the publication are sufficient.
In the light of the above and from
many other evidences. it appears that
the county affairs are being run in the
interests of we'll creased political ma.
chine and not in the welfare OF the tax.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
II Declining Prices Continue
None But Gold Owners
Profit.
With Our Balance of Trade
We Should Be Pros
porous.

Robert Lindbloom, one of the
best known members of the Chi
cago chamber Of commerce, says:
Declining prices mean ruin to
the farmer, merchant, manufac-
turer and laborer. They mean
under consumption and under
employment, while advancing
prices moan profits, increased con-
sumption and full employment,
which again begets increased con-
sumption and confidence. Credit
is based on ability to pay, and this
ability is increased with profits and
decreased with declining values.
Nobody profits by declining values
except the few owners Of gold.
Everybody profits by advancing
prices, and general prosperity will
finally rest on relatively stationary
prices, as there can be no undue
imitation of a metallic money.
Now, if owners of mortgages have
to receive money which will not
exchange for as much goods as
formerly I can view that with COM
placency, as nobody really suffers
by it. The fact that they are
lenders of money stamps them as
owners of property which will
share in the general prosperity F.;
but if any loss is to be incurred by
I am in favor Of laying it
on those who can bear ton the
rich rather than the poor, on the
few instead Of the many, on those
whose loss will only be relative
rather than on to those to whom
the loss would be absolute. We
propose to give our farm products
in exchange for what gold we
need, and we propose to give $780,
100000 worth Of silver which
England now buys from us yearly
at the price which it worth to
mint, or we will mint it.
Did you know that during the
last three years Of distress the bal
ance of trade has been $653,OOO,-
600 in our favor? That is to say,
we have exported $653,OOO,OOO
more goods than we have imported; !;
SO we have had no trade reason for
sending any money of any kind
abroad, and if the protection school
is correct we should be rolling in
wealth, and we would be but for
the insane policy of trying to force
our silver dollar up to the value of
q "cornered'' gold dollar instead of
letting the gold dollar find the
level where it belongs, when the
American demand for it ceases and
the corner is broken. The $780,
100000 of gold in America if sent
to Europe will glut that market
and gold must decline. That is the
law Of supply and demand, and an
unlimited demand for silver will
increase it's value until silver and
gold meet at the old ratio, where it
remained for 200 years regardless
of the relative production of gold
and silver.
We propose no new experiment.
We propose to abandon an expert
ence which is condemned even by
the republican convention at st.
Louis.
Silver countries will trade direct
with US, instead Of with gold coun-
tries, and Germany and France,
already predisposed toward silver,
will adopt free silver in order to
retain their trade.
As each and every interest bear
ing obligation of this government
is distinctly and specifically pay
able in silver at our option the talk
of reputation is clearly dishonest.
