The Best Thing Out.

The Dain Junior Hay Stackers
and Power Lift Push Rakes are the
greatest labor-saving haying tools
ever invented. They will take the
hay direct from the mower and
build it in a rick to any height de-
sired. These stackers are the only
one that deliver the hay into the
middle of the stack from bottom to
top. They are very simple in con-
struction and are a third lighter in
draft than any other stacker made.
The Dain Sweep Rake is the only
rake ever made that will positively
carry the teeth entirely off the
ground when heavily loaded, while
they work so easily that any boy
who can drive a horse can handle
them with ease They are the best.
Don't be persuaded into buying any
other, which dealers may recon-
mend as being Gust as good"
Remember, these machines are
handled exclusively by the Tom
Sweeney Hardware Co., Rapid City.
Others will say they can get them
for you, but we are the manufacture
'ers' agents and have the sole agen-
cy for Pennington county and trade
tributary thereto. We have a big
stock of both stackers and rakes-

will be glad to furnish any informa-
ton regarding them.

RObberies Of the Late War.

Uncle Sam purchased a large number
of vessels during the late war, some
thing like POO. He paid a round price
for them, and save for natural ''wear
and tear they are as good now as they
were the day he pun chased them. Most
of them are better now than then, be-
cause Uncle Sam has fixed them up.
He is now Offering some of these ships
for sale n the figures are interesting.
Uncle Sam paid $780, 900 for the Vul-
can. The Vulcan is now appraised at
500, 900. Uncle Sam paid $500, 900 for
the Niagara, but the Niagara is now
offered for sale at the appraised valua-
ton of $50, 900. He paid S57, 900 for the
East Boston, but offers it for sale now
at the appraised valuati on of 100000.
He paid $4,000 for the Enquirer,
which is now appraised at $4,000. He
paid $S5, 100 for the Scipio and is offer
ing it for sale at the appraised valua-
ton of $25, 1000. The Governor Russell
cost Uncle Sam ST. 900 and it is now
offered for sale at the appraised valua-
ton Of S35, 900. On these six vessels
alone Uncle Sam loses $574,26
Question: If Uncle Sam vas bilked
S574, 269 IN six vessels, how much vas
he bilked on 200 yessels?- Omaha

Trust Power in Elections.

Dimes, organized to destroy competition
in the field of transportation, produc-
tiOn or manufacture, are as surely plac-
ing their tools in the seats of legisla-
tive and Judiciary power as they are
using the leverage of vast we Alth to
crush trade rivals and competitors.
Whenever an election occurs whose
outcome may affect the interests of

their money are in evidence, working
to place in power men friendly to their
plans and purposes. Herein lies the
menace of trusts and their assistan,

The Evil and It's Remedy.

Take the railroads out of the hands

cheaply as every other man. There
would then be no more shooting down

Slave Workers in Hawaii.

Originally the workers on the plan
tations were kanakas, but they soon
proved inadequate. Then began the
importation of Chinese coolies, Portu-
guese contract laborers and finally Of
Japanese. These toilers we're bound
to forced labor by their contracts. The
coolie system has very little to COM
mend it I'VE the slave system as prac-
ticed in wi southern states before the
civil war. In some circumstances IL
may easily be worse, since the planter
who merely hires slaves from a foreign
contractor has less interest in their
we'll being than the former planters
who owned them. The United States
must now face this question whether it
will permit this system to continue in
Hawaii Buffalo Express.

es, killing even the native laborers
in d few hours and for which the
hundred years of investigation has
discovered no remedies. The ma
tives have repeatedly tried to
build good roads through their
possessions and have had to aban-
don the attempts on account of
pestilences thus let loose. The
natives are described as lazy, ig-
norant, immoral, vicious, utterly
untrustworthy and degraded to the
last degree. To emphasize the
foregoing warning, is given against
bringing plants ard live insects
from the Philippines to the United
States, as many of the latter would
prove fearfully destructive to
American crops and many of the
former are vicious weeds of the
most incradicable character. AS
to the bugs, it is stated that anna.
teur bug hunters are eagerly COL
lectlng live specimens in the Phil
ippines with the intention of bring
ing them to the United States. 1t
will be remembered that a college
professor, in a moment of scientific
enthusiasm, turned a gypsy moth
loose massachusetts where it has
already done S5,ooo,ooo damage
and hat another one imported the
English sparrow.
Just why the administration al
lowed this fearful report to reach
the public cannot be at present ex-
planned, though there are some
mean enough to insinuatc that Nc
kinley is trying to discover a plan
to let 90 his tail hold on the Philip
pine bear. To make it clear in the
public mind just how much of the
Philippines the American forces
now control, it may be mentioned
that our troops are holding a little
space around Manila about the area
of Greater New York.
Every expansion paper in the
country used 20 sneer at the "Span-
ish'sense of honor which made that
country maintain the war in Cuba
for three years. The same papers
are now appealing to the same fool.

unj just war OF subjugation in the

Otis Alleged Declaration

Lawton, a splendidly equipped SOL
der. had not Deer in the Philippines "a
month before he said bluntly that it
would take an army of 100, 900 to subju-
gate the island of Luzon alone, and
right on the heels of the old Indian
fighters opinion The Washington ma
chine told the country that Otis had
reported that 10000 would be enough.
Most likely he never said anything of
the kind. He had failed utterly with
10000 when he was reported to have
said 10000 was enough. If he said i,
he is crazy, and if he did not say it he
is being groomed for Il scapegoat.-

Where do You Stand?

Where do You Stand?
Public questions which have fore
ed themselves to the front during
the past year are being more freely
and commonly discussed among
the great masses Of people today
than ever before outside of the
heated period of a national politi-
cal campaign. With this discus
sion the assertion has often been
made to the effect that evils now
confront the American people
which actually threaten free gov
eminent and free institutions.
Such assertions have in years gone
by been made when their truth
was to be questioned and this fact
may lead people to PASS them by
lightly OF perhaps thoughtlcssly in
the discussions of today, but if
ever this republic faced a situation
more serious and more threatening
than the situation it faces today,
history fails to record it. In the
darkest days Of civil strife, though
Dur country was being laid waste
by the ravages of war, it faced
perils of no graver consequence
than the perils which the onward
march of civilization forces it to
face today. The UNION refers to
the Capitalization Of wealth from
the great masses into the hands of
the favored classes.
During the campaign of 1896
this condition had not reached the
climax of power which it possesses
today, but Notwithstanding that
fact the trusts and moneyed corpo-
rations voted their thousands Of
employees as they would drive SO
many cattle to water. Coerci on
was the rule for the first time in a
national campaign. The patriot
who had the manhood to declare
his honest convictions and assert
his right as a free man to support
those convictions at the polls was
discharged and forced into idle
ness. Where coercion of this
character failed, money was used
and the same result obtained.
This was denied during the
campaign of 1896, and it is still
denied by the members Of the
party employing such damnable
tactics to buy the presidency for
William Mckinley, but there is
not a republican into whose hands
these lines shall fall but who
knows down deep in his heart,
that these charges are only too
true. And further, the moneyed
interests of this country which fur
nished the great corruption fund
for the republican party III 1896,
stand ready to debauch the man
hood Of the nation again, defeat a
free ballot and a fair count and
snap the finger Of contempt in the
{aceof the law and the people.

If the republican party is not the
father of the trusts why have they
formed so rapidly under a republi-
can administration? And why do
such trust magnates as Havemeyer
assert that a protective tarfH-the
republican hobby of hobbies-is
the one thing which shields and
protects the formation of these
commercial monsters? THE UNION
will gladly print some good Nc

The Philippine Situation.

arc fighting the battle of the Unit
ed States in the Philippine Is
lands. That war is costing a mil
lion dollars a day. Therefore it is
consuming the wages of 500, 900
workers. The entire productive
capacity of the workers OF an av-
crage American state is being daily
consumed in war which is against
sense, justice and patriotism.
Were 200 fine farms swept into
the Mississippi every day for four
months and utterly destroyed with
buildings and crops all standing,
the country would be reused as
though by a national calamity.
Yet this is exactly what the war in
the Philippines is daily consum-
ing.
Every report which now comes
from the Philippines shows that
not less that 100, 900 men will be
necessary to subdue the present
rebellion, and that a new rebellion
a be depended on to spring into
life on the heels of each old one.
Moreover, Mindano, the second is
land Of the group, is absolutely
unconquerable on account of it's
impenetrablc jungles. 1t is now
admitted that the war may last for
years. The administration got
scared at last and has been trying
to make Otis the scapesoat by
saying it was his own fault if he
had not all the troops he wanted.
Otis has stood having his cable
dispatches edited until they read
like Spanish reports of victory
over the Cu5ans. He never muir
INJURED when the official editor at
the wal department made him
slaughter whole regiments of Fill
ipinos every day and break the
back Of the rebellion at least once
every 4S hours, but the attempt Of
tho administration to make him
the sCapcgoat was too much, and
he retaliated by turning loose some
wholesome information to the eff
feet that the volunteers we're sick
of the whole business and would
come home almost in a body de,
spite the $3.50 bounty bride
held out for re-enlistment. To
cap the climax the two great he,
roes of the volunteers, Generals
Funston and Hale declare that
they are sick of it and are coming
home with their regiments.
The administration is having a
hard time at the recruiting Offices
and is pursuing the same policy of
mystery and concealment that has
characterized its management oil
the whole war. The few recruits
who are being enlis ted it is notice.
able come from eastern points.
In the west, where letters from
volunteers in the Philippines have
been widely published, men KEEP
away from the recruiting offices as
they would from a small pox hos.
pital. 1t is all very well for the
imperialist press to howl about a
big army, but it fails to point Out
where it is to be secured. 1t is
also noticeable that the statesmen
who are talking SO loudly for ex'
pansion are not taking their owr
medicine and ~enlisting to conquer
the new possessions.
One Of the most remarkable per.
formances of the administration
was the giving out last week by
the agricultural department of q
report on the agricultural condi'
ton of the Philippines. A silver
man could not ask for a better
campaign document. While the
fertility Of the soil is admitted i
is declared to be almost impossible
to mature a crop without tremen'
dous losses by the typhoon. Il
