FARM LANDS ARE CHEAP.

Central South Dakota today beyond
all doubts offers the homeseekers
better opportunities for home or
investment than any other state in
the United States. Farm lands adapt
ed to general agriculture can now be
purchased from $40 to sos per acre,
that will double in value within the
next three to five years. But this
condition of affairs will not last long
as thousands OF homeseekers are
hocking into the state to avail them
selves OF. the golden opportunity of
securing these lands. The soil of the
state is of very productive charact-
er. and each year excellent crops Of
grain are raised in this state. The
yield is from 30 to 65 bushels to the
acre, and the grain is of an excellent
quality, and commands high price
in the markets. Farmers who have
bought lands and turned their atten-
tion to grain and sstock raising have
become wealthy, and many now own
well improved farms who had rented
in the in the eastern states for years
barely making living. We say once
more to the renter stop paying high
rents go and buy home of your own
while land is cheap and you will soon
have home and free from debt.

BAD DEAL FOR CONSUMERS.

When Senator Cummins declared
that the amount of the insurance
graft in all time does not equal the
amount of which the consumers OF
America are robbed-the world in
the governors own-every year under
the protective tariff, he may have had
the sugar trust in mind.
This great criminal organization
has the permission of the federal
government to levy an annual tribute
OF $40, ,0O0,0 900 on American users Of
sugar. How this is accomplished MI,
j. 9. Welliver describes in the cur
rent number Of Hampton's magazine.
The consumption Of sugar averages
so pounds for each Of our 80, 900 ,OOO
people. This makes the annual con-
sumption of sugar, 6,4OO, ,0OO, ,ooo
pounds. MI. Welliyer continues:
The difference between 4.es, tho
New York price, is 2.26 cents. That
is the excess of the American over
the English standard Wholesale price.
Multiply your 8 6,40o, ,OOO, 900 pounds
by 2.26 cents. That is the excess Of
the American over the English stand
ard wholesale price.
Multiply your 8,4OO ,Ooo, 900 pounds
by 2.26 cents per pound and you will
get $14l. $4,000. That Is the demon
stration that protection for the
trust-costs us over Sal 900 900 q
year.
The sugar trust is merely q favored
broker in foreign goods. TO project
that brokerage and maintain its
monopoly 1T stiles American industry !.
promised such expansion as In the
time would supply the American
market, and since then It's policy has
been to use beet sugar, not for iegiti !
mate development, but to shield tina
trusts monopoly of refining foreign
made sugar.
1t sends abroad more good Aneri-
can money each year than any other
industry in the land. to buy raw
sugar, when If the blight Of it's domi-.
nation were removed, American beets
would soon supply the entire Ameri-
can market. This money could be
kept here, and this industry develop
ed, if the tariff were not adjusted to
protect the trust rather than the beet
sugar industry. For the sugar tariff, !,
pretending to protect the beet sugar
Interest, really protects the trust and
gives it domination over the beet
manufacture. The sugar trust ii the
holder of franchise to stand and
take toll at every gateway to the
American market. 1t is the typical
robber baron of industrial monopoly
and irrigated finance.

WHERE GAUNT HUNGER Turks.

1t is becoming more and more APP
parent that the resources of Great
Britain are being too much absorbed
in building and maintaining warships
and making other preparations for
war. The commercial and industrial
vitality of the country is being un-
dermined in that way-and besides
all of this interest on the public debt
incurred by wars in the past has to be
paid.
Therefore, while our own country
is gladdened and hopeful as the tide
of returning prosperity rises higher
and higher and everyone really seek
ing employmentis able to find it, con
ditions in Great Britain seem to be
very little improved. We read from
time to time of state Of things there
which seems dismal and discouraging.
Pauperism steadily increases and the
old age pension bill, by lessening the
incentive to industry and thrift,
helps it on. The submerged tenth, in
spite of government assistance and
bountiful private charity, not only
remains submerged, but is increasing
in proportion to the total population.
A recent London Mail tells a dis
tressing story of the hordes of tramps
who swarmed into the country of
Kent hoping to make a few shillings
picking hops ahd peas. There is
something fundamentally wrong in
any civilization where m ore than a
tenth of the people are constantly on
the verge of starvation, and living
under conditions that necessarily de-
grade and debase them.
There are other things in the inter-
nal conditions of Great Britain to
cause uneasIness Her birth rate has
fallen off till it hardly keeps pace
with the death rate. The physical
stamina of her people is shown to
have distinctly deteriorated and in
sanity is rapidly increasing. She is
rent by political dissensions which

THE NATIONAL TROUBLES.

Russia, Turkey and Great Britain
are not the only countries in Europe
with many troubles peculiarly their.
own. Spain is having very serious
trouble over her war with Morocco.
Despite all reports that have been re-
ceiyed to the contrary, the occasional
successes of the Spanish forces
appear to have been trivial, while the,
reyerses have been frequent and
severe. And now the situation has.
become SO precarious that $1,000 ad-
dltional troops nave been ordered to-
Morocco in an attempt to turn the
tide Of affairs
If conditions at home were in every
way promising, Spain would have no
small task resting on her hands. The
Moorish fanatics fight to the last
breath and in their death throes
will bite the heel of the enemy. To
subjugate a Moor is about as difficu 1t,
an undertaking as to ciyilize Hot
tentot or convert Fiji cannibal. A
defeat means little, unless it is over.
whelming, and the slightest victory
feeds his martial spirit. II;
In country where every place
which can conceal man shelters Z
descendant of the prophet, and where
the religion teaches that death on
the field of battle means straight
waiting of the meanest to paradise,
there will never be any lack OF one, to
lead and many to follow.
But to these discouraging aspects
there is. added the overpowering anti
war sentiment in Spain. The pea--
santry have no heart for the conflict
while in the chief cities the opposi-
tion has been declared by popular In
snrrection against the transfer of the
troops. The impression is strong
among the people that Spain is being
used to fight the hattie Of other m
tions, and that to whatever limited
extent Spain may be interested Ii In
support Of certain private ouIi5rn-- =:

AT HEAD OF STATES.

Doane Robinson of the state stats-
tical department, has been working
out comparative figures ON produc-
tion of new wealth in the northWes-
tern states, using the government
figures to work from, and finds that
for last year South Dakota continued
to hold first place in production of
new wealth per capita of population.
The figures show that the cereal pro-
duction Of the states Of Iowa, Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Da-
kota, from the period extending from
1900 to 1908, on per capita of popula-
ton, were: Iowa, s876.94; Minneso-
ia, $463. .O5; North Dakota, S1,1O7. so;
South Dakota, S1,ll4.06.
The live stock figures for the same
period are: Iowa, $3.50; Minnesota,
s62 80; North Dakota, sl7l 30; South
Dakota, s223.4O.
For the year 1908, the cereal pro-
duction per capita of these states was:
Iowa, s97.5O; Minnesota, 5000;
North Dakota, $4,000; South Dako,
ia, $195.90. 6
These figures show that South Da-
kota continues to hold the lead for
production of new wealth per capita
among the states of the northwest,
and with tine Increased area opened
to production the past few years, will
no doubt hold it for some time to
come.

fiscal year ending June 80, 1909, were
$108, 900, 900 for France and S194, 600, 900

would lead us to cultivate this trade
with Canada, instead Of passing legis-

the year which ended June 80, these
systems carried 100, 900, 600 passengers

the latest safety devices, is the en-

Portion of Main Street to Be Paved
With Stone Blook-S5,ooo Appropri-
ated for Work.

BY the action taken by the board of
aldermen Monday night at its regular
monthly meeting, Main street is to be
paved with stone block, grouted and
cement, commencing at North street
westerly as far as the $1,000 appro-
priation will permit.
1t was reported that the cost per
equare yard would be between 81 and
$2.50, and therefore but between 1000
and $500 square yards Of Main streets
surface will be paved. AS that partic-
ular portion of Main street is more
narrow beginning at North street and
going westerly, it is the only logical
part to be paved for a good test. 1t
is right on the up grade of the street
where 1t will be given the best posi-
Bile test through weather, traffic, etc,
while if it had been voted to COM
mence paving at the junction of Main
and Union streets, the widest part Of
the street, only scant stretch of the
street could be paved; and it would
not show UP well in the eyes of the
taxpayers or serve the best purposes
for a thorough test.
Another disadvantage to the latter
section of Main street was the fact
that a new stone sewer is to be con-
structed at Church street and this
would interfere with the paving and
necessitate additional expense to the
city.
This new paving will stand the raw
ages of wear and time for a period Of
twenty years it is said. BY utilizing
the appropriation for that part the city
can be spared the expense Of rebuild
ing a number of new cross walks.
