Declares for Mckinley,

Frank Sears. mayor of Webster, Day
county. who has for years been one of
the most prominent populists of that
section OF the state, has recently de-
clared himself supporter of Mckinley
for the presidency. His reasons for
forsaking the pop party and embracing
the principles advocated by the repub-
licans are given in a two column article
recently contributed by him to the
Webster Reporter and Farmer, from
which we extract the following:
The most superficial student Of rs
tory knows that wherever the expeH-
ment has been made of using cheap
money, either from choice or necessity,
il has Away resulted in driving better
money out of circulation. At one time
during the war 1t required 1886 of paper
money to buy one dollar in gold or sill
yer. Now, through the operation of the
law made by republicans to keep the
faith of the government, this paper
money is just as good as gold, and has
been since the first day of January, 1879.
A dollar in paper to-day will buy 1922
grains of pure gold, which is represented
in gold dollar, and no more, but il will
buy nearly double the amount Of silver
which is represented in a silver dollar.
And when l contemplate the possibility
of the United States adopting the free
coinage of silver. 10 to !, may well stop
and consider its effect upon the farmers
of these western prairies and the labor
ing men of this nation, upon whose
prosperity and happiness our own de-
pends. l believe, nay know, that a
vote for the free coinage of silver at l6
TO is vote not only for continuation
of the present depression and hard
times, but vote for harder times and
far lower prices than have yet prevailed.
Under the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver at l6 to / over $500, 600 900 of
gold now part of our circulating medi-
um would leave our country, We would
be upon silver basis, and the purchas-
ing power of dollar would be the COM
mercial value of the bullion in il, and as
natural consequence our circulation
would shrink one-half. This inter
ference with our monetary system
means the withdrawal of untold mill
ions of money invested in this country,
and it means lower prices for American
agricultural products and bankruptcy
for those engaged in producing them.
Farmers of Day county, these are the
questions which you and i must de-
termine, and / would say to you: Do
not vote the republican ticket next No
vember besause l say so, neither vote
the populist ticket because some advo-
cate of that party says so, but vote
whichever way you may decide only
and studied them in an unbiased and
unpreiudiced light. For myself, 1 have
done go, and hereafter ! am rep1bli-

Commenting upon the glowing future
Of the Black Hills, the Deadwood Min.
ing Review says: From our special
correspondent We learn that great ac-
tivity is manifest throughout the south
ern Hills, aud the same reports come to
US from our correspondents in Galena,
Bear Gulch, Squaw creek and Carbonate
districts. Miners are generally at work,
and men Of means and experience are
daily seen riding over our various dis
tricts examining ores and ore bodies,
making purchases and arrangements for
larger development of properties, erec-
ton of suitable machinery, building OF
roadways. etc. These reports come to
Us from all sections of the Hills and
from the reports Of new and valuable
discoveries being almost daily found,
We must once more affirm our statement
that the Hills can hardly be classed in
its infancy. We believe that from
Pringle on the south to Centennial
Prairie on the north; from Cambria and
Sundance along the west to the valleys
on the east. vast body of mineral ex-
lists and enough gold will be extracted
thersfrom to pay the debts ofthe world,
and this great field affords place for
profitable employment Of many millions
Of capital and hundreds Of thousands OF
men. No section Of country known to
civilization offers as much for capital
and labor, and no spot en- earth can
boast Of greater happiness and pros.
perity than can be found in the Black
Hills of South Dakota"

/, Charles Fl. Sheldon, governor of the
State of South Dakota. do hereby ap-
point Monday, the seventh day of Sep
tember next, legal holiday throughout
this state, and ask at the hands of our
people its faithful observance.
mo people in the union feel deeper,
heartier sympathy with ali the hopes
and aspirations of labor, than the peo-
pie Of our state. None recognize more
fully than we the just claims of the men
who labor with their hands. All
thoughtful men are willing to aid by all
the means in their power IN trying 10
secure to honest, intelligent labor the
full reward 10 which it is entitled. The
comforts and luxuries which we enjoy
are the products of human hands di-
rected by human skill. Let US all OBJ
serve this Gay by uniting heartily with
those who are supposed TO be especially
interested, in doing all which lies in eul
power TO build up and noble the
character Of American working men.
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal Of the state to be affixed at Pierre
