TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES

TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES
The whole tariff issue, as far
as the great majority Of the
people are conc n e ID, is
tile question of prices. All the
.caviling of politicians and the
lquibbling of those protected BY
the tariff cannot disguise the
fact that under Republican tar
Tiff laws the cost of living has
vastly increased, and many
people have not received an
advance in incomes or wages to
meet the average enhanced
price of all they buy. Nor can
it be denied that under these
Republican tariff laws there
has been formed trusts and
combinations which have adj
vanced the average price of
commodities over GO per cent
during the past fourteen years.
The protection theory that
competition between mannfac
turers for the home market
keeps the price they charge for
their products here within a
reasonable scope-even if they
sell cheaper abroad-has entire.
~ broken down in consequence
OF combinations which have
advanced prices beyond all that
was thought possible. The
high tariff rates on most arti.
cles prevent competition from
abroad, and the combining Of
manufacturers has very greatly
eliminated competition at
home, so that if the present
tariff is continued there is no
relief in sight. There are two
remedies that will reduce these
high prices; namely, to curb
the trusts and combines so that
home competition would i'll
measure prevail, and to so re-
duce the tariff that competition
from abroad will compel reas.
enable prices here. The tariff
is not responsible for all the
vast increase in prices, neither
are the trusts and combines;
but these causes can be safely
charged with more then half of
the increase. Under a tariff
for revenue only, prices have
advanced in England about %
per cent. and the causes 70,
such increase are world wide
La protected Germany and
France prices have Increased
as much as here, and combina-
tons in restraint of trade SINH
lar to our trusts are prevalent.
The Republican politicians
and stump speakers will, of
course, try to befog the. tariff
issue with great mass of de-
tails and figures which but few
can understand; to tell the
plain facts would give away
the whole protection theory,
which is already breaking down
of it's own weight and the prac-
teal injustice of taking all the
people for the benefit of the
few who are protected.

The J OPPOSITION
TO BURKE
The Best They Can Put Up
Against Him Is Too Poor to
n Disoredit Him

~ Discredit Him
All sorts of subterfuges are
being used to try to defeat Gov
ernor Burke tor reelection.
These subterfuges are used
from the platform aud through
the press, and are used in both
the English and Scandinavian
language.
In long article in the Nor
manden of Grand Forks, r.
Smith r e t rson of Park
River labors very hard to dis
credit Burke and to boost John.
son. Throughout the entire ar.
ticle he makes frequent use of
the expression "His Iri 9 h
Highness." This is an open bid
for prejudice against Burke
because he is Irish, with the
self evident hope behind that
the writer can stir up predju.
dice among the Scandinavians
against Burke on that account
Such campaigning is too cheap
and is too discreditable to both
the author and the men who
ccuntenance it, to have any in
tluence or to be of any weight.
The whole purpose as noted.
of Mr. Peterson, is to bring ma
tional prejudice to bear among
the Scandinavians as agains,
Governor Burke. Mr.. Peterson
sadly underestimate the intel
ligence and "Reminiscences of
the Scandinavian people when
he makes this bold attempt,
and is himself the worst enemy
of the nationality which lie as
sutnes to praise and give credit.
u. Devine of Minot is quot
ed in the Evening Times Rec
ord of Valley City in an article
as roasting Gov. Burke. be-
cause he has not attempted to
coerce the Legislature. Among
other things Mr.. Devine is
quoted as saying. Tell me,
once when lie said, Gentlemen,
insist That you carry out the
pledges of this party" Other
equally absurd statements are
credited to Devine. The argu-
ments, aud the one argument
IF the gentleman seems to be
that Burke should be blamed
because he has not directly or
indirectly attempted to drive a
republican legislature to do
certain things which it had ne.
elected to do. in the opinion OF
Mr.. Devine. Such argument is
cheap, trashy, dishonest, and
not at all in line with progress,
sive republicanism. 1t can only
boost instead of hurting Cover
nor Burke.
c. A. Johnson might we'll
pray to be delivered from his
friends if the samples noted,
are good samples of his friends.
With the kind of opposition
that has been raised against
Governor Burke his election is
simply made a certainty in
stead of doubt. Republicans
are being driven to his support
every day by the rotteness of
the republican c a m pal q n
against him. T h people are
Disguised and will show their
resentment at the polls. G.. A.

those who claim. to be his
friends, and he may finally
awake to the fact. Had clean

made in behalf of Mr.. johnson,
the issue might have been
doubtful as to the governorship
but with the nature of the
campaign against urke it

EX,SULTON
Said To Be Deserted By
His HaFGm

Berlin, April lS-Abdul Hamid, ex-
sultan of Turkey, has of late been
the subject of many reports, one of
them being to the effect that he had
been deserted by his harem. Accord
ing to Turourie, the ex-sultan was
in such fear of beng poisoned that all
food or drink which he took had pre-
viously to be tasted by some member
of his entourage. Recently he de-
clared to make similar regulations
with regard to the physic prescribed
for him by his medical attendants.
The result was that the women of
the harem were called upon to swal-
low nauseous drugs and potions, a
regimen which soon told upon their
health. In order to save themselves
further experiences of the kind, they
decided to desert the ex.Comamnder
of the Faithful, which they did at the
dead of night, so as to avoid painful
parting scenes with the prisoner"
From an incident at Frankfort-on-
Main, it would appear that after the
dispersal of the ex-sulian's harem
some of the women were fascinated
by the footlights of the vaudeville
stage. The chief attraction at a
Frankfort music hall has been eight
genuine odalisques from Abdul Ham
ids harem," who appeared under the
charge of two eunuchs.
| A member of the audience discov
cred that one of the women spoke Ger
man with a pure Berlin accent. He
complained to the police, who proceed
ed to investigate the supposed fraud
The Turkish consul, being called, de
clared that the passports proved tha
seven of the members of the troupe
were actually women of the harem
The eighth alleged odalisque, whit
hailed from Berlin, fell on her knees
and implored the consuPs protection
declaring that she had been KIDNAPPED
by the two Turks in charge of thu
troupe. The police released the CIR
and are now making inquiries to as
certain how she fell into the hands o
the Turks.

TEACHER
For SiXty.FiVG Years Was
Mother Galbraith

Lexington, April 1S-Sixtyfive years
a teacher of the little folks class of
Sunday schools, and for over half a
century teacher of the same class in
the same school, is the record of
Mrs. Margaret Galbraith. known all
through this part of the state as
Mother Galbraith. Three generations
of the youth of the village and dis
trict received their earliest religious
instruction from her. Mrs. Galbraith
died few days ago at the age of SO.
She began her work in her eigh
teenth year, back in her native town
of Neville, Pa. Since 1858 her home
was at Lexington. In addition to
rearing a family of five children, one
of whom is now the village banker,
she was postmistress during the first
Cleveland administration and for
many, many years her quaint, little
old hotel was the only place in the
village where the belated stranger
might find entertainment.
AS long as any of the children's
children of her Sunday school classes
are alive Mother Galbraiths name
will be remembered. Her pupils in
the years of long ago are scattered
over the whole world. Many have
sent their children to her. Their chill
dren have sent the tots to her class.
Mother Galbraith, it seemed, was a
permanent fixture of the villages lit
| tie Presbyterian church. Her pupils? ?
Few have climbed the ladder of fame,
also few have gone astray from the
paths of the straight and narrow.
Mother Galbraiths guiding aim in
those years of work for her boys and
girls-they were hers, in truth-was
to help in raising up manly men and
womenly women. The character of
citizenship was elevated through her
work and prayers in the class room
She was, in word one of the best
arguments the staid little old church
ever had. From her department many
graduated into the church.
When the infirmities of over foui
score years kept her from going out
the keenest regret was that she was
compelled to give up her duties as
teacher. "The night comes on anC
there is still much work to do" she
said, accepting suffering as became 6
servant of her Master.
When they buried her the whole
village mourned.

JUST 13 OF 'EM

Did these 13 Republican ser ators
do right in voting against the central
board bill because 1t was recommend

Harmon? What, then, becomes of the
clamor of Republican papers some
months ago that Governor Harmon
was not the first to advance this prop

titled to no credit for it because II
was favored before him by Republic
an governors, particularly HerricR
