10Th to Goth, there is hope of high
barometer from the northwest with
cooling winds and respite from great
summer warmth. The Mercury per-
iod being central on the 2lst. promises
prolonged spell of cloudy days,
with probable tendency to drizzling
rains.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
tral on the 23rd, oath and 25th, with
moons first quarter on the 23rd. At
this period the barometer will fall
again, the temperature will rise and
threatening conditions will increase
into summer storms. The outlook
for diffused rains during this month.
A regular storm period covers the
last six days of August, being central
on the 10Th. The Moon is at extreme
declination south on the 9th, and
full on the 30th.
This period will reach its crisis
about Sunday the 10Th, to Wednes-
day, September lst. If very low
barometer and wide storm areas break
inland from the Gulf and south
Atlantic regions, heavy rains will
deluge the south, and lateral storms
will visit many interior localities.
Within a period of seven days, cen
trail on the 30th; or from August 2Sth
to September 3rd, look for seismic
reports from widely separated parts
of the Earth.

There has been considerable mis-
representation of Senator Crawford s
action in regard to the tariff bill
when it was being made up by the
senate, and not a little outright lying
by some others. That our readers
may know the truth we publish the
following list of articles for which
Mr.. Crawford voted for reductions OIL
to place on the free list. Oil, lumber
coal, iron ore, pulp wood, and wood
pulp were articles which he voted to
place on the free list:

REPRESENTATIVE WHITING, of San
born county, has written an open
letter to Gov. Vessey asking him to
call an extra session of the Legislature
to vote on the income tax amendment
to the federal constitution. 1t is very
doubtful if the adoption of the amend
ment can be FASTENED by such action
on the part of this state. All that
could be accomplished would be the
advertising. and Whiting has accomp-
lished his purpose by getting his
name in the papers.

THE MARKETS.

We cannot say that anything new
has occurred in the grain market the
past week. The price has been going
down with a regularity only equaled
by the rising and setting of the sun.
But that is nothing new. 1t was to
be expected, and is only what we
predicted last week.
The price of old wheat only fell
about 5 cents during the week. But
to our readers the price of new wheat
only is of interest. The closing price
at which new | Nor. could be sold to
arrive Wednesday for August and
September delivery was ST OF in Min
!leapolis, or 80 cents on the local
market. Velvet Chaff fell about 10
cents in two days, and the price Of
feres for same delivery as above was
96 cents in Minneapolis, and the trade
not anxious to take it at that. That
would make the local price about 81
cents. We look to see these prices
drop before our next issue. At Min
neapolis the receipts of wheat were
AZ cars Wednesday, and l29 cars of
that were winter wheat.
New 3 white oats closed at 81 cents,
making full local value not over %
cents. 1t may be true, as many in
sisr, that the oat crop is not as large
as the trade seems to believe, but it
will take light shipments to convince
the trade.
Barley is also on the toboggan
The bids for the new crop are from
43 to So cents, and only choice bring
ing the high figure.
The corn prospects have much to
do with the sloppy prices of feed
stuffs. 1t is quite probable that there
will not be much improvement in
prices until after the corn crop has
been made.
The fax market is holding quite
steady. As to what it will do latter
anyone can guess as well as the
writer.
We have been asked what our
opinion was as to prices later in the
season, and as TO the advisabiIity of
holding grain. We have nothing to
offer in this respect at this time. 1t
is too early in the seas N, the market
is not yet settled, and the estimate
of the yield is liable to change when
threshing is we'll on. We dare offer
no suggestion along this line, except
that it is usual for at least slight
advance as winter sets In, fact as
we'll known to- others as TO ourselves.
As TO the near future We will say
that we still look for drop in prices
from the present leyel.
As yet there is practically nothing
coming in and the local buyers are
not quoting prices.

WE take it that it will be conceded
the INDEPENDENT has been one of Coe
/. Crawford's most faithful support.
ers, if not the most influential, since
Mr.. Crawford first announced him
self for governor. But the now near
ly six years devoted to his interests
does not obligate us to accept every
thing he is pleased to do as a sena
tor, or to defend what appears to us
to be sins of omission. In our judg-
ment Mr.. Crawford madea great polit-
ical mistake in not lending his vote
and influence against tariff on agri-
cultural implements. No well inform
ed man will contend that removal
of the tariff would greatly lesson the
price of those articles to the consumer
but. so long as the industry is prac
tically in the hands of trust, wnat-
ever benefit may accrue from this tar
iff should be refused. In principle it
is the same as other trust controlled
products. although in actual saving
to the farmers it would be very little,
if anything. His refusal to support
agricultural implements for the free
list can only be supported upon the
old thanrv that protectiOn raises the
laborer's wages, which we do not be-
lieve to be true to any great degree
when the product of the labor is con-
trolled by a trust. Again, we cannot
endorse Mr.. Crawford's vote for $4
per ton tariff on print paper. There
is no justification for such tariff in
onr Judgment. We are also displeas
ed with his action in support OF the
high woolen schedule. His defense

costing l1.6 cents, paid under thu
Dingley law duty of 3.S9 cents;
under the Aldrich bill the duty is in
creased to 7.53 cents, or an advance
of 1851 cents.
The same cloth, if valued one. half
cents more per yard, would pay a
duty increase of 4.94 cents.
Simple colored dress goods, such as
used by the great mass of the people,
valued at 1921 cents, pays duty of
$40 cents under the Dingley act and
would pay 500 cents, or an increase Of
I'll cents, under the Al6rich bill.
Ordinary white goods, for women
and children, valued at 1920 cents,
must staud an increase in duty from
sos cents to 800 cents, or an advance
of almost 3 cents.
The duty on plain colored cotton
cloth, used by the masses for all kinds
of wear, is advanced from $50 cents
to 500 cents.
In the case of colored sateen, used
by women for skirts, waists, dress and
lining purposes, the duty is advanced
from S.38 cents to 1925 cents, or an
increase of 3.87 cents.
The percentage of increase in these
duties is, respectively, 98, 12l, 81, AS.
II and 46 per cent.
Mr.. Householder, if it costs you
from so to 100 per cent more to buy
dress goods for your wife and chill
dren after this year, you may know
you have none other than Senator
Aldrich to thank.
For the cotton goods mills of AL
drich's home town that have advanced
prices after Aldrich got his cotton du-
ties through the Senate, know whom
it is they have to thank.

The income tax amendment to the

every part of the west. Such a sys

property in sight and yet draw from

Such investments under the present

Chicago, I'll.

Gentlemen:
In response to your letter inquiring
my attitude toward the income tax
amendment, also the probable altitude
of our present state Legislature, will
say, | do not consider the constitu-
ton of the United States so sacred
and just that It's justness will last
forever, | am a progressive, and be
lieve that new conditions in our
industrious life sometimes require
changes. | am heartily in favor of
an income tax law, and believe the
nation should have the power to
enact such a law even if it never avails
itself of the privilege. | believe the
present Legislature of South Dakota
would give its approval without a
dissenting vote since our president
and Gov. Vessey both approve. /
believe it will be much easier to get
the consent of the state than to get
such law through our present "stand
pat" congress after congress gets per-
mission.
