The question now arises: Has
Editor Moffet any better show at
Mandan for having a fair trial
than he would have at Bismarck?
1t does notlook from this distance
as if he had been treated right in
this matter. especially as Mandan
and Bismarck are only five miles
apart Mr.. Moffetmade affidavits
to the effect that hecould not have
a fair and impartial trial in the
sixth district, and asked that the
case be sent to some other dis
trict. This Judge Sauter refused
to do, and sent the case to Man
dan. The Judge may have been
acting in good faithin this matter,
but to a person up a tree it looks
as if he wanted to accommodate
the gang that is trying to down
Moffet. Judge Sauter is being
severely criticized for his actions
in the matter, ane apparently he
deserves it.

The Dingley bill became a law
after four months of the hardest
fight of the kind in the history of
the nation. 1t was passed by a
republican congress specially
called for the purpose of meeting
a deficit in the nations revenues
and to provide {. remedy. And
now when congress convenes
again what does it find? Have the
revenues increased? Is the trea-
sury full to overflowing? No.
not by any means. Instead we
find IL deficit in our revenues of
S45, 100000. The Dingley bill has
not the requirements. 1t is a
dismal failure. Its not a revenue
accummulator, it is a .'revenue
cutter. Advocate, Valley City.
The above is highly amusing.
Considering the fact that the
new tariff bill has been in opera
tion only four months and the
fact that prior to it's becoming a
law the country was flooded with
foreign goods, we are of the
opinion that the Dingley bill is
doing very we'll. The gain in
revenue over October during
November is large, and the gains
during December will be larger
still, and by the time we have
COTTON rid of the surplus importa.
tions to this country and the bill
has had a fair chance. we are OF
the opinion that it will prove &
great revenue getter. If the op
position will withhold their YER
dict for one year and give the
bill a fair trial, they will change
their minds. A big slice of the
deficiency mentioned above was
caused by the late but not la
mented Wilson bill.
