A Rancher Has a Word.
ELLENsBURG, Wash, July 20

ELLENsBURG, Wash, July 20.
ED, DAwN.-Some time since
your paper contained an article
concerning gentleman rom San
Francisco who was in our midst
taking orders from groceries, dry
goods, hardware, etc. etc. You en-
tered a strong protest against us
farmers giving him our orders, and
said that weshould patronize home
merchants as they helped us pay
our taxes and were justly entitled
to our trade. Now this is all very
we'll to talk about, but does the
home merchant really stand by
the farmers? He says he does,
but on the contrary, we say that
he does not. The merchants of
Ellensburg have, it seems to us,
combined to simply freeze us out,
and hence, we are sending to Seat
tie and Tacoma thousands of dol
lars every month for the various
classes of goods which we use and
consume on the ranch.
You said further that those bus
mess men abroad of whom we Or
dered, bought not of our farm pro-
ducts. This is not true. More
than one house in Seattle is today
handling our butter and eggs, and
offer to take any of our products.
We get better prices in Seattle
than your merchants offer, in fact
your merchants refuse to handle
any more of our goods than they
can possibly help. They ought to
look out for markets for such of
our products as they think can be
sold at a profit and be prepared TO
handle the same, but on the other
hand they do not do so, and hence
we are forced to find a market in
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San
Francisco, or St. Paul.
Whenever your merchants are
willing to do the ia ir thing and be-
come satisfied with a fair profit,
they will get our trade and not be-
fore. We can stand it as long as
they can. RANcHER.

On Crupper or Pommel.

A wise philosopher of the Dogberry
class once said if two ride the same horse
one must ride behind Brother Carey OF
the Stars editorial comments on getting
together" suggests the query whether he
or pommel. There is foreign element
i'll this State claiming to be of pure demo
cratic material. That element is led by
Arthur p. German. Its political prin-
ciples are the Republican gold standard
all English importation, trusts and
monopoly, an English importation also
The other element believe the Chicago
platform lays down the policy distinct
lively in accord with democratic prin.
ciples," as laid down by Jefferson and
and triumphantly indicated by Jackson.
The principles heroicly sustained by these
great apostles of democracy, were dia-
metrically opposed to bank monopoly and
trust control of this government, and EN-
braced the principles enunciated in the
Chicago platform. These two theories of
government are as distinct as two persons
and if they are to be harmonized so as to
agree TO ride on the same horse one of
them must ride behind. The Chicago
platform party carrying the old Jefferson
and Jackson principles are bound to be in
the saddle
Brother Carey hints at dropping some
thing, and says, ''there is all ample suf-
ficiency of those issues that are distinctly
in accord with democratic principles. F"
But is there anything like the gold stan
dard, in those principles That is the
avowed policy of the democracy of Mary
land enunciated by the State convention
in June 1896 under Gorman's direction,
and under his orders has been adhered to
ever since.
Last week Mr.. German sent Mr.. Baugh-
man to the Chicago conference to repre-
sent his goldbug issue as the policy ofthe
Maryland democracy. These two distinct
policies cannot ride in the same party
wagon and both hold the lines, no more
than two can ride on the same horse with
out one riding behind. Where is brother
Carey going to sit, on the crupper or on
the pommel2

'Banks cannot stamp checks" This
stereotyped phrase is going the rounds of
the press without comment or explana-
ton. AS matter Of fact all banks can
and do stamp checks every day. This
order from the Treasury Department was
not to prevent banks from stamping
checks but to forbid them furnishing the
stamps free to their customers. Some Of
the banks were doing this as an induce
ment to draw custom to their counters,
and some of the skin flint banks COM
planned to the Department, which caused
the issue of this foolish order. What need
the government care if the stamp is paid
for and the money goes into the treasury,
who pays for the stamp? If the bank
chooses to find stamps free of cost to its
customers what need the Treasury De
partment to NEEDLE in the matter. 1t is
none Of the Departments business who
pays for the stamp,

The people must destroy monopoly

The people must destroy monopoly or
monopoly will destroy liberty and free
institutions must perish. What are the
greatest and most dangerous monopolies
that must be destroyed first, and whose
destruction would weaken if not totally
destroy all others?
The first and most powerful for evil is
the money monopoly controlled by the
banks. The next class of monopolies are
the natural monopolies; the nlonopolies
Transportation and travel the monopoly
on intelligence, the telegraph.
The third in order are the street rail
ways and all public franchises, which in
clude gas, electricity and water for
municipalities. With these public util-
tiles, owned and controlled by the gov
ernment, national, state and municipal,
for public use, the power of monopoly
would be broken, our courts, legislatures
and the ballot box would be freed from
the briber and corruptionist.

Though the county tax books for 1899
were closed to collection night before last,
it will be fully week before the delin-
quency list is ready for publication, owing
to the great amount of labor involved in
going through all the books and picking
out the long list of those who failed to
discharge their financial obligations to
Deer Lodge county. However this years
total delinquency is smaller by several
thousands Of dollars than was last years,
being only sS,247.S2.
The total amount OF county tax to be

COUNTER CLAIMS UPHELD
"A. o. H. Secures q Judgment
II Against Contractor White.
HE LOSES HIS LAW SUIT
Court Holds That He Violated His Con-
~ tract and That the A. o. H. Per-
formed Its Part Faithfully.
Judge Napton's Decision,

SswsE. B. White. the contractor who sued
I Division No. 1, Ancient Order of Hiber-
L mans for $2,31S.s4 balance alleged to be
! due for work done in erecting the A. o.
II. building, not only loses his suit but
judgment is rendered against him on
4 the counter claim of the defendant for
K J6,O7s.S9 and the defendants costs.
These costs amounted to $36215.
4 sF Judge Napton in the district court
/ The case. He decreed that the A. o. H.
Is entitled to judgment against Mr.
H White for s4.14s39 for the expense he
put that society to by not completing
his contract, and is entitled to judg-
ment for $3.50 for loss of rent from Dec
!, 1898, the date by which Mr.. White
contracted to complete the building, to
April 4, 1899, the date on which it was
completed.
The case is one in which considerable
public interest has been taken. It has
occupied much of the time of the dis
trict court, the taking Of testimony at
the last term and the hearing Of argu-
ment at the present term, being pro-
longed.
March s, 1s99 Mr.. White began suit
to recover the alleged balance of
s2,31s.84. claiming he had done work to
the amount of $10.796.38 and had been
paid only $S,477.54.
The defense in its answer asserted
that Mr.. White had violated the terms
of the contract, had thrown up the job
before completion, had delayed the
work and that the society had been OBJ
iiged to take up the undertaking and
complete it. The defense submitted
lengthy details as to the financial losses
1t has sustained and put in counter
claims for $5.804.43.
In his finding Of facts the judge states
that the plaintiff furnished materials
and performed labor between July %
and Dec 8, 1898. in the construction of
the A. O. H. building to the value Of
s10,796.3S, Of which the defendant has
paid $S,477.5O
That the labor was performed and
materials furnished under written
contract made July 22, 1898, whereby
the plaintiff, for $13575, agreed to COM
plete and turn over the building prior
to Dec 1; the plaintiff to furnish all the
labor, material tools, brick work, stone
work, carpenterwork, plastering, paint
ing, steam heating, plumbing, excavat-
ing, etc, in conformity with the plans
andfunder the supervision of the arch
itect, P. ]. Donahoe.

estimates furnished from time to time,

paid when made and that neither the
