] do not propose to 60 into this
campaign on the defensive for / have
nothing to defend. | have served the
state for nearly four years 70 the best
OF my ability All the accounts of my
Office have been kept In strict compli-
ance with law. l have never loaned a
dollar OF the state money directly or
indirectly and what l say will be read
lily verified by Governor Lee and Gov
ernor Sheldon.
Today, can say II proudly and with
out fear OF being disputed that the cred
ii OF South DaLota is equal to that OF
any other state in the Union.
With your indulgence, l will read a
portion OF my report as treasurer dated
July l, 1898.
The financial condition of the state.
from the time / assumed the duties OF
the Office, show such marked i'm
provement that | deem il proper at this
time to give review OF the condition
as IL existed at the time | assumed the
duties OF the office, as compared with
the condition at the date OF this report
which condition is very gratifying to
myself and which ! trust will prove q
qualification to the people of the state
when their attention is called to the
facts and figures herein presented.
The liabilities OF the state on January
8, 1895. consisted OF the bonded debt,
the floating debt and the deficiency In
the trust funds, and were as follows:
Bonded debt, sl,0s0,200; floating debt,
100000; deficiency in the permanent
school fund, $45 1854; deficiency in the
interest and income common school
lands fund s52,524dS; deficiency in the
interest and income, endowment school
land funds, S6l0.26, making total liza
bility OF s1,35S, 6542S. After deducting
$13S, 76545, the amount received from
the Taylor shortage which was contin-
gent to the above liability, We find the
net debt to be $1,219,SSsS3.
There have been bonds issued to the
amount OF $4,000 and bonds paid to the
amount Of $275.600. The floating debt
has been liquidated and the school funds
have all teen made good. and as a re-
sult we find the bonded debt, which is
the entire debt of the state, to be $751;
10000. This alone would make a re-
duction in the indebtedness of the
state from January s, 1895 to July /,
1898. of $35S.2SS83.

Railroads Must be Controlled

BY its platform, adopted at Mitchell,
the Republican party Of this state
pledges itself TO support the present
railroad law passed by the last legis-
lature and supported by every Repub-
iican member Of thai body. And the
party further pledges the nominees on
the ticket to vigorously and relentless
ly carry On the contest to a successful
termination.
What stated at Mitchell at the time
OF my nomination. | again state mere.
that / am in full sympathy with the
Republican state platform there adopt
ed. and l wish 10 express my unquali-
fed approval of that declaration in tho
platform regarding the railroad ques-
tion now before the people Of this
state.
1t Is an undisputed fact that railroads
are public servants, and must be so re-
garded. or course. the benefits derived
by the people from the convenience or
railroads, are many and no one dis
putes the fact that they have been anu
are a great factor in orening up and
developing the state. They were with
the pioneers and have worked hand in
hand, as ii were. with them in develop
ing the resources OF this countray.
Now that our state has become rich
in productions and is dependent upon
the railroads to place cur various pro-
ducts upon the market. they must NOT
show disposition 10 take advantage OF
the situation and demand more than is
just and right compensation. II is
giving them too great power 10 allow
them to regulate and fix their OWE
rates-they are sure to abuse such priv
ileges.
They have been granted their fran
chises and other rights with the dis
tinct understanding that they treat all
the people justly. and that they charge
only such rates as will yield them
fair return upon their investments.
The law passed by the last legislature
places in a state commission The SUPER
vision of the roads and their rates, and
gives the commissioners full power TO
cequire justice and fair treatment for
all the people.

There is no word more frequently in
the mouths Of men than that OF con-
science. The word conscience properly
signifies that knowledge which a man
hath within himself OF his own
thought and actions, by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind
will either approve or condemn him.
according as he hath done good or evil;
therefore this knowledge or conscience
may properly be called both an accus-
er and Judge. So that whenever our
conscience accuseth US, We are GER
tainly guilty; but we are not always
innocent when 1t doth not accuse US:
for very often through the hardness
Of our hearts, or the fondness and ia
vor We bear ourselves, or through ig-
norance or neglect, we do not suffer
our conscience to take any cognizance
OF several sins We commit.

The treaty to be drawn by them. IL
accepted by their respective govern
ments. will doubtless be known as the
treaty OF Paris. Several agreements
in settlement of international Difficult
ties have borne the same title. One
of the most important of the treaties
was that of 1863, between Great Brit
ain on the one side, and France. Spain
and Portugal on the other. 1t involved
the cession of Havana to Spain by
Great Britain. which had taken it in
the previous year. Thus, after the
lapse of century and third, Havana
Is again at the disposal Of a Paris

law is d great advance in the right d.

state can easily 60 further. The pres
ent law controls only rates within the
state. Our farmers and shippers arc

mission TO carefully investigate rates,
and where found excessive, present the
facts to the interstate commerce com
mission and seek and demand reduc-
ton. A bill for such a law was intro
luced in our last legislature but was
defeated.
Our state platform pledges our
nominees for congress TO use all their
power and influence to so amend the
Interstate Commerce act that the Inter
state Commerce Commissioners shall
have power TO regulate interstate rates.
This Is absolutely necessary in order to
successfully make and maintain rail
road rates which are just and equitable.
