ing on a contest that has brought it
defeat An indemnity payable to the
victorious nation has been one Of the
terms of peace in the settlement Of al
most IL not every war that has oc-
Cured within the memory of people
now living. France paid most dearly
for her struggle against Germany,
several millions of francs being wrung
from her before the enemy's troops
were finally withdrawn ffom her bor-
ders. In more recent years China was
forced TO yield up Of her treasure TO
Japan, and Greece was forced to pay
heavily for her fasco OF war with
Turkey. What we shall demand Of
Spain as a condition TO peace, when
the time comes, except the independ-
ence of Cuba is OF course only proble-
matical. 1t must be conceded, how
ever, that our position will be the
stronger both in our negotiations in
behalf OF Cuba, for our own ends, as in
the requirement of coaling stations, if
we are in control of other Spanish ter
ritory. Though the matter has as
yet received no discussion it is posi-
BILE that we may demand Of Spain an
indemnity.
Should this be the case we could
hope for nothing unless some Spanish
territory were in our hands as secur

THE NGL BILL.

Many columns of more or less
valuable space in republican news
papers has been taken up during
the past few months in trying to
show that the high price paid for
wheat was due to the Dingley law
and the republican administration.
Silver papers declared that the
high price was caused by immense
exports from America to supply
the shortage in South America and
the old world caused by drouth
and a failure to produce the usual
crop there. There is a cause for
every effect. If the Dingley law
and the republican administration
caused high prices to be paid for
wheat a few months ago, who is
responsible for the falling prices
and the low rate being paid today?
The administration hasn't changed
lately, and the ''wave Of prosper
ity" started by this same Dingley
law is still waving. What's the
matter? 1t can't be the "silver
Craze'-that, according to rcpubli-
can authority, was ''dying out"
TWO years ago and must certainly
be dead by this time. Either this
is the case or else some unsc1upu-
lons republican editor has been w.
ing to us, and we can hardly be-
1leVe these disciples Of Irrational
honor" guilty Of SO grave an Of
tense. Or perhaps The UNION is
too inquisitive.
South Dakota's wheat crop this
year will reach fully 25,ooo,ooo of
bushels. Tie farmers who are
raising this crop want to know
whether the republicans were ly-
ing about the cause of the high
prices six months ago or whether
hey are lying about the cause of
he low price now. They are do
ng a little figuring on their own
hook, too.
