McKINLEY'S LETTER OF ACCEPT
ANCE.

We publish elsewhere the full text
of President McKinley's letter of ac-
ceptance. 1t is like McKinley-very
like him. Having sought tefdOdge the
silver question when it was the lead
ing issue, he now pretends to think
that the election of Bryan would put
the country on a silver basis, when
advocates and opponents of silver
coinage both know that if elected Mr..
Bryan could not open the mints to
the free coinage of silver however
much he might desire to do SO.
Mr.. Mckinley claims credit for all
that the sunshine and rain and the good
conditions have brought to the
country, but SHES away from the fact
that the trusts, organized and protect
ed by his administration, have taken
to themselves the bulk of all the pros
perity of the country. Very few men
who Worl1sfor wages have received any
increase in their wages, but the cost
of living has been SO greatly enhanced
that the wage-earner finds that he
gets no share of any of the much adj
vertised ''era of prosperity A pros
perity that is mainly monopoliZed by
the trusts is not the sort of prosperity
American working men want.
After long lodging the question al
together, the President is at last
forced to a discussion of his attitude
to the Filipinos. His letter sounds
very pious and very patriotic, but in it
there is not even the semblance of the
ring of independence and liberty from
start to finish. 1t is just such let
ter as the prime minister of England
promising to give them good govern
ment. 1t is not good government
alone that the Filipinos want-it is
the right to rule their own country
without dictation by Spain, the United
States or any other country. The
President in his high-sounding plati-
tudes evidently exercises all his in
genuity to avoid the cruX of the ques-
ton.
The letter will lbe accepted by men
who have made up their minds to
violate their plain duty" and
vote the Republican ticket. 1t is a
sedentary to their quickened con-
sciences when they reflect upon how
they violate the Declaration of indie
nd To hni
violation of the spirit of the Monroe
doctrine.
In the early part of the campaign,
Mr.. Mckinley and all other Republi-
can leaders lodged the question of
Imperialism and thought to do so dur
ing the entire campaign. They laugh
ed when the Kansas City platform
called it 1.-THE paramount ISSUE" and
went on bowling prosperity and
SILVER" but now they see that they
can no longer dodge the paramount
isse" and have been forced to talk
about what is uppermost in the
minds of the voters. To be sure, Mr.
Mckinley does not meet the issue
squarely. He denies that there is any
danger of Imperialism and begs the
issue.
The substance of his position is
this: Trust me. / will do alright
j will give good government to the
Filipinos and will be father TO
them. Never mind the cost We will
get that back many times over by the
goods our syndicates will sell the peo-
pie who come to us through the policy
of criminal aggression

BEGs THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
News and Courier. Dem

Having finally disposed of all other
matters of which he cared to say anything,
the President comes at last to the war
in the Philippines to which he devotes
the last three fourths of his message. 1t
would be too tedious to follow him
through the long story the statements
and misstatements of which are already
familiar to those who have followed the
question and read the Presidents instruc-
tions to and the reports of the two COM
missions and of the American commanders
in the Philippines, from which the Presi-
dent quotes copiously and also other Off
cial reports and press reports of unbiased

authority. from which the President does
not quote at all. The Presidents theory
seems to be that the will OF the American
people as expressed by the President and
his Administration should be law and
gospel to all people whom we can buy or
conquer, and that it is an objectionable
sin that the Filipinos, whom we have
bought, will not allow us to conquer them
and convert them to our own ways of
thinking and acting.

For the first time the state land de-
partmeGt has been forced by condi-
tions to make a demand upon the coun-
ties that they take their pro rata share
of the permanent school fund, whether
they desire to or not. The department
has, in the past, been able to place
practically all the fund iii counties
which desired to take 1t, and has not
been compelled to force the distribu-
ton, which is within the power of the
commissioner.
The department has distributed to the
various counties of the state the un-
called-for balance of the July appor-
tionment of the permanent school fund,
amounting to $216, $40. Heretofore the
funds have only been sent to the vari-
Gus counties when called for by the
county auditors, and those counties de-
string one of the funds have not been
forced TO take them.
The law provides for January and
July appointments each year, ana
further provides that all funds appor
toned shall be sent out; but hereto
fore the apportionment has not been
large enough. Nearly or all of the
funds have been called for with the ap-
portionment year, thus accommodating
the counties that desired the money, as
well as those counties which did not
want it. But for the last three years
h fund has been growing larger,
while the demand has been decreasing.
The largest apportionment heretofore
made was $17S. 720. for May, 1899, a part
of which was carried to the next appor-
tionment, while the May apportionment
for this year vas $685., sos.
Letters from county auditors from
all parts of the state have convinced
the commissioner that a smaller part
of the fund will be called for durins
the present apportionment period than
for the past year., n that at least
s150.000 will lie idle In the state treas
ury. For this reason ne believes II to
be his duty TO take advantage of the
strict construction of the law, which
clearly provides hat all OF the fund
July OF each year. and need be distrib-
uted only at those periods.
This strict construction of the law is
forced by the conditions which prevail
over the state in the matter OF loans,
which is shown I'm national bank re-
ports. These show. for South Dakota,
an increase OF deposits Of $500, 0o0, and
a decrease in loans of $4,000 since
April. The same conditions must be
met by the state land department, and
the loaning forced. where possible. or
the state school fund will suffer for
lack of keeping the fund invested.

O-I-C

When a preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide, it
means that preparation is meritorious.
II you go into a store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel il has the endorsement
Of the world. The judgment OF the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants TO
sell you something else" in place of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't 1t stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out Of your credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR-
ETS Is O fraud. Beware of him! He
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits Of a reputation which another
business man has paid for, and IL his
conscience will allow him to go so far,
he will go farther. If he cheats his Gus
toner in n way, he will in another
and 1t is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub
stitutor. Remember CASCARETS are
never sold in bulk but in metal boxes
with the long tailed &C. on every box
and each tablet stamped c. c. c.
