Of Mrs. Henry Ward Beeches at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Scoville, at

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Senator Har-

Tariff Taxation.

The country is clearly opposed to any neod-
less additions to the subject of internal taxa
tion and is committed by its latest popular ut
terance to the system of tariff taxation. There
can be no misunderstanding, either about
the principle upon which this tariff taxation
shall be levied. Nothing has ever been made
palmer at a general election than that the con
trolling principle in the raising of revenue
from duties on imports is Jealous care for
American interests and American labor. The
people have declared that such legislation
should be had as will give ample protection
and encouragement to the industries and the
development of our country. 1t is therefore
earnestly hoped and expected that congress
will at the earliest practicable moment enact
revenue legislation that shall be fair, reason
able, conservative and just and which, while
supplying sufficient revenue for public pur-
poses, will still be generally beneficial and
helpful to every section ard every enterprise
of the people. To this policy we are all, of
whatever party, firmly bound by the voice of
the people-a power vastly more potential than
the expression of any political platform The
paramount duty of congress is to stop def
ciencies by the restoration of that protective
legislation which has always been the frmost
prop Of the treasury. The passage OF such q
| law or laws would strengthen the credit of the
government, both at home and abroad, and go
far toward stopping the drain upon the gold
reserve held for the redemption of our cur
! rency, which has been heavy and well nigh

Senator COckrell Of Missouri, in q
recent interview. has the following to
say Of the connection between wheat
and silver
AAnch criticism has been hurled at
Mr.. Bryan On the ground that he had
claimed that the price Of wheat vas
contingent on the price Of silver. The
facts are that prior to June %, 1898,
India, q great wheat exporting country,
gave silver the free and unlimited
privilege Of its mints as legal tender
at the ratio Of Is to /. The exporter of
wheat from India to England could
then sell MS wheat for gold and With
the gold buy silver bullion at its com
meroial value, take it to the minis and
have it coined into full legal tender at
the ratio named, and thus make a
profit Of tbs difference between its bull
lion value aud its coinage value, less
transportation charges, ETC., and then
sell wheat at 10, 10 and even % cents
less than other nations and still have
a handsome margin Of profit left. This
necessarily caused a large increase in
the production of wheat in India.
However, when India, on June g, 1888,
closed its minis to silver and broke
the connection previously existing be-
tween silver and wheat, then the ex-
porter Of wheat from India had no
advantage over the exporter from the
United States or any other country so
far as silver and gold is concerned.
"The increase in the price of wheat
this year is due, Of course, TO the fail
ure Of the crops in other countries.
Every sane man understands that, 1t
was so stated recently by the seore-
tary of agriculture, and no one but an
idiot would attribute it TO any other
cause"

judge WiI!coxon.

In the nomination of ". S. Wilcox
On, of Colby, for judge of the 54th dis
trict. the peoples party chose we'll and
wisely. There is not a more competent
attorney in all of the parties of the
district than he. His practice has
been so expanded in the last few years
that it takes in nearly the whole Of the
northwest part Of the state. He is
known by his friends to be a great
student Of law and of late mas been
paying particular attention to the de-
cisiOns of the United States supreme
court aud the federal courts beneath.
When elected, as he surely will be.
ne will bring to the bench the infoFma-
ton and experience of wide study
and practice. He has been three times
elected county attorney of Thomas
county and has to-day the entire con
fdence and esteem of his personal
friends and Of the people Of his coun-
ty. His personal character is above
repFoach. In his own county he is in
great demand as a lecturer at Sunday
school picnics and religious gather
ings. While not an avowed professor
of any church or religion he is full to
the brim of moral sympathy and intel
lectual integrity. In every respect We
believe him to be the peer Of Judge c.
W. Smith and, in some way, aside from
his political views, We regard him as an
ADLER man. Politically, his sympathies
and beliefs are all with the individual
as against the corporation; with the
poor as against the rich; in other
words be feels himself friendly to the
under dog in the great struggle for ex-
istenee, not that he would be unjust,
but that the helpless and poor need
protection; the rich and powerful can
take care of themselves.
Mr.. WilleOxon is full of human sym
pathy and when be takes his place as
judge will be able, upright and a just
judge.-Hill City Reveillee.

"TOo much praise cannot be bestowed

Money Orders and savings Ranks.

In tbs Office of the superintendent
OF the mouey-order system of the gen.
eral pOstOface at Washington is evil
dence which will convince the most
skepticai that there exists, especially
in the west, a demand for a govern
ment institution where the savings Of
the people may be deposited.
The mOney-Order system was estab-
lished for the accommodation of the
peOple-those who do not enjoy 3
bank account and cannot forward
money by checks. While the object Of
the system was purely to facilitate the
transaction Of business by Offering at
small cost the medium of transmit
ting money, experience has demonstrs-
ed that it is not infrequently used to
guard the savings of those who are not
within easy reach of banks, or fear to
trust their hsrd-earned dollars in the
keeping Of the banks,
Money orders are often obtained by
persons who have few dollars to lay
away. This is made evident by the
operation of the law, which declares a
money order void when not presented
for payment within one year. When q
money order is retained by the payee
beyond that period it can only be re-
newed by the superintendent OF the
system in Washington, and the num-
Der of cases where the money order
has been retained for one, two, three
and even more years is surprising.
The records show that in most instan-
ces where money orders are not pre-.
sented within the prescribed period
the order was purchased by the payee
with no other purpose than depositing
his money where he knew it would be
safe until wanted.
When the original money order has
become void duplicate is issued, upon
application, by the superintendent of
the system, and void duplicates are
replaced by warrants upon fund Gre
ated by uncalled-fOr money which has
accumulated since the system has been
in operation. Hundreds Of cases could
be given where farmers, miners me.
chanics and Othes persons have used
the money-OFder system for a savings
bank, among the most striking being
the case Of a miner at Leadville, Colo,
who purchased an order for $1,000.
payable to himself, and permitted the

the government he was not only will
ing to fOFegO the interest which he
would have received had the money
been placed in savings bank or other
wise invested, but he paid the commits
sion demanded by the government fer
issuing the order.
The use of the money-oFder system
as a savings bank is resOrted to as fire.

past. The mails bring to the postofiee
department daily numerous void
orders to be renewed, and the officials
who have the renewal of the orders

gnaw the stale bones that every dog

that protective tariff makes for high

depends upon supply and demand.
When there are more men than jobs
wages will be low; when there are more
