The Idea of an Economtst.

The little dog lay in the gutter with a
broken leg. and not one of the coarse men
who looked at him offered any assistance.
1t remained for the young woman in the
tailor-made suit to pick him up and place
him in the nearest stairway. Then did the
men look at one another abashed, while the
young woman went on her way.
"A woman said the fat man with the
red nose. "a woman with a disposition like
that would make some man a good wife.
Not much she wouldn't" said the thin
man with his coat buttoned tight. She
spoiled a three-dollar pair of gloves picking
up a fifty-cent dog"

II the reports have foundation the tariff
ciates are framing will embrace a wool and
wooden schedule having much lower duties
than that of the House bill. The wooden
manufacturers are not generally in favor
of SO high duties as those fixed by the
Dingley bill. but they were made in order
TO give the wool growers the same duty as
the Mckinley bill contains. The high duties
on wool do not seem TO be demanded by the
West generally. but are insisted upon by
a committee whose member seem TO desire
tia foreign wool shall be kept out of the
country - something like a prohibitory
fariff.

Thirty years ago the few steel rails used
in the United States were brought from
England. and the price, without any duty
added. was s94.SO a ton. Within the past
few weeks rails far superior TO those i'm
ported at that time have been sold in the
United States at 500 a ton. In 1867 only
1850 tons of steel rails were produced in
the United States. but in 1871 the duty was
made a specific rate at SOS a ton. The free
up for years. but. with the specific duty.
the manufacture of steel rails was rapidly
increased. reaching i'm 1850 the enormous
output of 2.091, 97s tons. During this entire
period of increased production the price
fell and with the fall of the price the duty
was reduced. In 1888 the duty was made
ST. per ton, and by the Mckinley law the
duty was further reduced to s13.44. In the
Dingley bill the duty is S7.s7. or a little
over o%ne-fourth of the duty Of 1871. Mem
bers OF the ways and means committee ia
vored putting steel rails upon tSse free list.
but in consideration of the fact that for
eign sailing vessels bounV from Europe TO
the Pacific coast for wheat would carry
rails at nominal cost for ballast the duty
of s7.S4 was agreed upon in order TO give
the American steel rail mills a fair chance
on the Pacific coast There is good reason
TO believe hat if. in 1870. when steel rails
were so high, the duty thereon had been
made nominal. England would have regu-
lated the price so as to control the produc-
ton lust as il did the price of tin plates
until the passage of the Mckinley law.

The only real trust dealing in the neces-
ssries OF life which can be affected by the
tariff is the Sugar Trust. and that is
curbed in the Dingley bill. II the Demo-
agine they have made political capital by
demanding a vote on the proposition TO put
the merchandise controlled by trusts on the
free list. 1t indicates that they have not yet
learned that the people cannot be longer
humbugged by such tricks.

dition in this county be an indication
OF the condition IN other counties in the
state pretty hard, so far as the de-
linquent tax list is concerned. In
1894 (although the list was not printed
until 1895, = year later than usual, no
lists having been printed in 81. except
as applied to nonresident holders) the
delinquent tax list made several pages
in our weekly edition. The delinquent
list Of 1895, printed at the same time
covered about five pages, or more, Of
the paper, the fee for printing amount
ing to over seven hundred dollars.
The 1898 list, printed by the Henry
Independent, covered in the neig bor-
hood of four pages, q trihe under, il
our memory serves as accurately. The
1897 list occupies about two pages.
This shows that the people of the
county have paid their taxes, and it is
quite certain that they would not have
paid them If they we're not in bette,
condition financially than they were
last year and the year previous. II
any body tells you that Codington
county people are not better off finan
cially than they were in 1896 and in
1885, just point to the size Of the de
linquent tax list. That ought to b.
convincing enough for anybody.

BpYAN AT SHELDON.

Last week VIM. ]. Bryan spoke at
Sheldon, Iowa, and the Mail OF that
city pays him the following tribute for
his nerve and audacity:
IAN advocate with less than extra
ordinary nerve could hot withstand the
withering blight which triumphant
republicanism has caused the buoyant
md much heralded free coinage cause
81 last year. A champion of average
courage would quail in the midst of
the prevailing better times and If he
did not fee from them would do the
wiser thingr-hHil and acknowledge
them. Mr.. Bryan isn't either. He is
begging away with persistence that
il attractive chiefly because it is rare.
He is insisting that Is to is the coun-
try's only salvation, as though the
country had not already been saved
despite that dogma. Republicans can
look ON and listen serenely content.
The politics they stand for are being
xbundantly indicated. Ths predictions
and promises they made last year are
being fulfilled this year. 1t is not
necessary that they should claim the
election OF Mckinley is directly re-
spOnsible for all that goes to make ur
the sum Of present betterment. 1t is
enough that MIR. Bryan's predictions oil
what would ensue In that event have
! utterly failed TO materialize. This is a
tremendous fact which Mr.. Bryan,
| adr0it and eloquent as he il, can neither
gainsay nor get over
