1t was passed under the Gree bal

raised by republicans, but seldom

paign of 1896. Gov. Lee approved
the measure for the simple reason
that if he had vetoed it the goldo.
Gratis would have charged him with
being opposed to fair and honest

registration law, under the guise OF
"a free ballot and a fair count

ciscly the contrary and result IN
keeping the republican party in
power in South Dakota. That is
its sole and only object. But ii

WiDing Out the Middlemnn,

The trust does not see why it should
divide the profit with a jobber. In
some Instances the wholesaler is al
ready ignored. and the sales are made
directly to the retailer. and the trust
gathers in all of the profit. 1t no longer
divides with any one. and it does not
intend to do so for the future. Is the
public benefited by this ~sidetracking
Of the middlemcn? 1t is not. for the
selling prices of the manufactured ar
ticles have not been lowered thereby.
1t is only the division Of profits which
is affected. The middleman Is crowd
ed out. and his share Of the profits
goes to the combine.-Denver Post.

Of independence should be taken by

That Registration Law.

Thursday mornings Journal had
considerable to say of the registra-
ton law passed at the last session
Of the Legislature and urged all
voters to register, or they would
not be allowed to vote. THE
UNION desires to say that Mayor
Wood has announced that no at
tention will be paid to this law in
Rapid City, and upon his recon-
mendation as states attorney the
commissioner board will take no
action in the matter.
The law is a dead letter and OF
no effect. Voters are not COMPEL
ed to register in order to vote.
The reason will be given at length
in these columns later.
Asto the political status of thu
enactment, it was a republican
dodge to defeat the silver vote
which is strongest in the country
districts where a failure to registe'
is most likely to occur. 1t was
strictly a political measure witt

that Great Britain, absolutely with
out a case, was proposing to grab
by force nearly one-third of the
territory Of Venezuela. knowing
that this result was certain Lord
Salisbury consented to the arbitra-
ton which he had hitherto con-
temptously rejected.
This is merely one more step in
Great Britain's way to a monopoly
of the gold supply of the world.
Witness her persistent struggle
for a free port leading to the klon-
dixie, which Mckinley at last
meanlv surrendered. Witness her
outrageous purpose to seize the
Transvaal, with the most valuable
gold fields in the world. The
Transvaal has just appointed a dl-
plomatic representative to the
United States in the person Of
Gen. James r.. O'Beirne of New
York, whom Mckinley will have to
refuse to receive on account of his
understanding with Great Britain.
With the TransJaal in her pos
session Great Britain would abso'
lutely control 70 percent of the gold
output of the world. 1t is the
purpose of this creditor nation of
the world, not only to >fasten the
single gold standard upon the
world, but to absolutely dominate
tae worlds output Of gold anc
thereby fix the price of gold at thu
highest possible figure. McKin
ley's administration is Great Brit

SnEinG In Business.
With the business of the country alb
sorbed by the trusts. what has the ris-
ing generation to live for. where can
it expect to obtain a start when grown
up? This is Il question which has
been in the mind of many, and it still
awaits solution. 1t is not only the
number of former employees made su-
periluous through industrial combines
of every nature, not only the number Of
small business men forced to the wall
by the big trusts. 1t is %depriving the
growing generation Of every chance to
start business for themselves. Not
many have looked at the matter in this
light, but it deserves to be looked at in
this way.
Aman in moderate circumstances may
have Il prosperous business today and
make Il decent living out of it for him
self and his family, but he is no longer
sure that he can leave it to his son.
He may be crushed by a trust at any
time. and what then? He may take
his available means and set his son
up in another business, and then both
may meet with the same fate. The
trust is no %respccter of persons. We
must not think that this combining Of
Industries is at an end. 1t has not yet
reached that point in its aggressive
evolution. zoe smaller combines are
absorbed by larger one and these in
Turn again by others still more power
full. One can no longer go into bust
ness for himself. because the trust has
absorbed all the facilities. This fact
Of itself should prove an incentive suf-
~ficiently strong to array all threatened
in this manner against the trusts and
the political party responsible for their

Lee Plat for Commissioner.

The silver forces Of the First
commissioner district have chosen
Lee Plat Of Rapid Valley as their
candidate for county commissioner.
A more able candidate for the
Office has never been named and
Mr.. Plat will without doubt be
cl ected.
The republicans have given it
out that if they can elect their can
didate for commissioner in the
FIRST district they will do away
with the current expense fund, IN
der which the county debt has been
reduced, taxes lign,cned and war
rants brought from 50 cents on the
dollar to IS cents. If the republic
cans succeed in clecting their can
didatc it means a return to the ola
POLICY Of 50 cent general warrants.
1t means that the warrant spccu
lator will be given a chance to
traffic in warrants at the expense
of the taxpayers of the county.
1t mean that the residents Of the
county must be taxed more heavily
to paw interest on the wholesale IS
sue of county general warrants.
1t means that the county debt will
increase instead Of decrease IS II
has done under the current cH'
pcnse fund. This is the sum and
substance Of the republicans posi-
ton on this commissioner PROPOSE
ton. Should such a policy vii
and a you as a taxpayer ailorc
to support 1t? Can Pennington
county afford to return to the oil,
policy of higher taxes, lower war
rants and Il heavier debt? This i!
the question involved in the com
,missloncrship contest.
Lee Platt, the silver nominee 70.
commissioner in the First district
is a taxpayer and n who has tn
best interests Of the county dcepl
at heart. He believes in standin
by the current expense fund--th
t one policy which has enabled Pen
nington county to increase he
warrants in the market, redee1
her credit before the world, rcduC
her debt in the face of adverse Gil
cumstances, and Tighten the burde
of taxation upon the people. Sue
is his platform, and favoring sue
a policy he asks the support OF a
who are interested in the welfar
, Of Pennington county. He is
, capable, clean and honest citizen
one we'll fitted for the duties devolN
!, ing upon a county commissioner

| trict a we'll support him and re
, publicans who believe that thi
county should continue to reduC

McKinley's Western Trip.

President Mckinley is swinging
through the west in an endeavor
to save his party from defeat in
the fall elections. Though neither
he nor one of his cabinet could
spare the time from ''pressing Of
fetal duties to greet Dewey on
MS arrival in New York, the whole
cabinet, with one exception have
Joined him in this twc-weeks polit-
zeal junket. With all the accom-
paniments Of a special train, pr
vatc cars, stenographers and press
representatives., Mckinley has
! been summoned to the rescue.
This trip illustrates Mckinley's
wabbllng character. Two months
ago it was announced officially
that he would 90 west to welcome
the returning soldiers. A few
weeks later it was discovered that
the volunteers were SO savage over
their outrageous treatment in the
Philippines that it was not deem
ed "judi :ious'' to have the presi-
dent face their frowns.
But within the last fortnight the
reports from the political manag-
ers in Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Ncb-
rasxa and South Dakota assumed
SO alarming a character in their
prophecy of republican disaster
that Mckinley wabbled again anG
concluded to go.
1t is announced that no politica.
addresses are to be made. This
of course is false. Once started,
every crossroads stopping place
will be smiled upon with a few
we'll chosen remarks about the flag
Mckinley and his secretaries viii
point to the prosperous condition
OF every trust in the United States:
will refer to the necessity of
"maintaining the honor of the
country and will wind up by ask.
ing "who will favor hauling dowr
the American hag?" He will omi'
to give the figures of the hun
dred millions of money already
worse than sunk in the Philippines
and he will omit to mention tina
he has already entered into a Sc.
cret agreement with Great Britain
to haul down the American flag a
Pyramid harbor, giving to tina
country its long sought free por
on the Alaskan coast.
1t is not customary for the Pres
ident Of the United States to e
on stumping tours in defense O
his policies. Still less is it Gus
tomaryt to employ every SUFFERING
Of mis-statement and false appea.
to cover up his blunders. In thI
: instance Mckinley will do all tn
and will back it up with lying an
! censored dispatches from Manila
but it will be in vain. The fac
F. are out and republican defeat
impending.
