It's enemies are attempting to
crowd the Devils Lake Free Press
to the wall this fail and double
loaded editorial in last weeks issue
urges its delinquent subscribers to
come to the front and assist it to
hold the fort. The Free Press is
an ably edited paper and nobly
held it's own in the three-handed
conflict that has been fought by
the papers of Devils Lake these
many moons. We hope the News
and Inter Ocean may not have the
opportunity afforded to plant
flowers on the grave of the Free
Press. Better quit boys.

H. E. Gage, brother OF R. B. Gage, OF
Daniels, has recently returned from trip
to the Alaskan gold fields where he spent
a year prospecting. He will spend the
winter here, expecting to return to the
scene OF operations early in the spring.
He says that Juneau and other
poin ts on the coast are crowded with
men who will be unable to get into the
interior for several month, many ofthem
not having funds to tide them over the
winter. In his opinion the richness of
the Klondyke has not been over estima.

await all who seek it the wealth of the
country sasyetfar form being developed.
Regarding the hardships experienced he
considers many OF the stories as being
greatly exaggerated.

ECK.ELS Makes II POINT.
In a recent address Comptroller
Eckels spoke of France as 'trestine

In a recent address Comptroller
Eckels spoke of France as resting
on the solid rock of sound
finance" The Souix Falls Press
called attention to the fact that
this is rather queer admission
coming from Eckels, the single
gold standard official, who reflects
the views of two administrations of
opposite party names. France has
population of about 100000
and per capita circulation in sill
yer of about $3.50 coined at the
ratio of Isl l, making the coin
value about $1.39 an ounce. The
United States has a population of
fully 100000 and circulation
Of silver per capita of $500. Our
silver was coined =. at the ratio of
l6 to l making the coin value ST. 20
an ounce.
If France is on sound basis with
700 millions of silver and 40 mil
lions population the United States
could stand the coinage of over
twice as much silver as we
now have, according to the admis-
sion of Mr.. Eckels, himself, and
still be on the safe side of the
''sound basis line of finance.
This little matter is called up by
the active work of the representa-
tives of the administration preach
ing to the country and trying to
educate the masses to retire the
greenbacks-a work that is being
carried on out side of attending
to the routine business of their
federal offices at Washington and
elsewhere.

The competition Of SO many re-
putable commission men at Duluth
is a good thing for North Dakota.
The shipper Of wheat is sure of
getting all there is in the market,
and there are many reputable firms
to whom it is perfectly safe to
consign wheat Any shipper can
tell the amount that he is entitled
to by deducting the freight and
small commission charge from the
published market price on date Of
sale. If a shipper wishes to hold
all or part of his consignment for
a future sale, a small charge for
storage and insurance only is
added. The buyers of hard wheat
are realizing its scarcity in this
region, and will have to bid up to
get it. Our Ainty wheat ought to
com mand a good sized premium
over the inferior soft variety the
year around and will do so when
ever the raisers of it are able to
hold it on their own farms until
sold and keep the bulk of the
crops out of the visible supply,
which is used with great effect by
the buyers of grain to depress the
price.-Jamestown Alert.

shire gives the following to tho
associated press at Boston:
II appeal to all republicans to meet
with joyous welcome the step England
may take toward bimetallism. Tho
movement earnestly and zealously begun
by President Mckinley, in obedience to
the ST. Louis platform was quickly
joined by the French ministry, and the
joint prospects are being seriously con-
sldered by the British cabinet, with q
reasonable prospect that England will
reopen her Indian minis, will use silver
as part of her bank reserve and other
wise cordially aid in reconciliation.
Every such indication should arouse
friendly feelings in the United States,
four -ffths of whose people. as we'll as
nine tenths Of the people Of India, desire
the bimetallic system, which so much de.
ponds upon English help. This is no
time for discriminating duties or denun-
ciatory demonstrations against any
European country, nor should bankers
alone assume to voice American senti-
ments. I entreat bimetallists every
where to make themselves heard against
the selfish outcries OF the engorged
money lenders of New York and Chicago
and their subservient newspapers"
-"W. H. Chandler"
Senator Chandler is one of the
few republican leaders now in
Office who have had the courage to
face the opposition and defy those
influences that now control the
party plans. He speaks out on all
proper occasions, voicing the
sentiments of those numerous
members of his party who believe
IN keeping faith with the country
and in restoring the only conditions
that can insure permanent good
times. Mr.. Chandler is urging
this in the ranks of his own organ
ization and has not yet seen the
necessity of partly abandoning
the party name for a time, if needs
be, to trlng about the chief thing
which the party platform agreed
to accomplish last year-but which
is now being declared ridiculous
to attempt, by the party press and
by certain leaders who have con-
troll of the executive and the admin
istration.
It will now be in order for the
press which Chandler speaks of
above, to begin their blare of trum-
pets-to down out the sound of
the senator's voice. Whether any
benefit ever comes of a partial
restoration, of a pretended acqui-
essence by England in the bime-
tallic policy, the frequent refer
ence to and approval of the same
by certain leaders still in the repub-
lican ranks is a favorable sign. 1t
shows the gold syndicate there are
still some friends of the laboring
classes in this country. not sup.
pressed.
