up to 1000 and right in the dead OF
winter, and all for no purpose Other
than an effort on the part of this
mining company to coerce and intim-
date members of organized labor in
to renouncing their unions and sign
ing the scab list of the Homestake
Mining company. The aforesaid &C
ton of the Homestake Mining com
pany was in no way prompted O.
brought on by the local unions in

any demands upon the company and
had not requested any advance IL
wages, nor for any reduction in. the
hours of labor; in fact no efforts had
been made by the union men to alter
or change the conditions under which
they had been working for many
years, and there had been no strain
ed relations between employer and
employe, nor did any exist at the time
of the company taking action agains+
organized labor.
We, the undersigned unions involv-
ed, having been forced into this con-
fict through the position taken by
the Homestake Mining company,
wherein they declare against organ
lied labor in general, propose to
unitedly defend our right to organize
for the protection of ourselves and
our fellow, men.
The members of the organized
labor movement will know what ac-.
ton is necessary when this notice
reaches them~ We appeal to the un1
organized workers to acquaint them
selves with the exact situation in
Lead, s.. D. before soming here.
Don't join the scab, strike-breaking
army. Don't be deceived by agents
of the company who tell you there IS
no trouble here. Roeyour own think
ing. Be men and Assist your fellow
working men in the Black Hills to
maintain their organization which is
fighting your battles as well as their
own.f =
We further request that this letter
he read in the meetings znf all the
local unions and central bodies to
which it is sent, and that they assist
rs in making public the conditions as
they exist here.

Jonas Gray's Trouble

Jonas GRAY, who has conducted a
general produce business in this city
for a number of years, has met with
financial reverses which called for
investigation on the part of his
creditors. 1t seems that Mr.. Gray
left Canton on the early train Monday
morning, destination unknown, and
his creditors became alarmed and
from their standpoint they deemed
security necessary, which brought out
two attachments, one for the Farmers
Elevator Co., and the other for the
First National bank.
It seems from what we can learn
that Mr.. Gray was caught badly in a
slump in the egg market and a heavy
decline in prices. 1t is reported he
had three Cars Of eggs in New York
when the price dropped 8 cents, and
1t is also reported that he had two or
three ars in Chicago cold storage,
but reliable details are not available.
1t is an unfortunate affair all round
Mr.. Gray had through hard work and
close attention to business built up a
fine business in the face of trust de-
termination to drive him out of bust
ness. He worked hard and long hours
and steadily kept growing in strength
and all Canton thought he was on a
solid foundation, because he built up.
step BY step. just what caused the
slump In egg prices is not known but
we presume the trust ordered a crush
ing price and the small dealers had to
take their medicine.
No one knows yet how bad Mr..
Gray vas caught and it is the hope of
his friends that he will return as soon
as possible and help straighten out
the tangle.
G. p. Bailey and wife of LaPort,

Advanced Republican Senti-
ment.

st. Paul Dispatch: The South Da.
kota republicans voice advanced re.
publican sentiment when they say:
"The protective principle should be
applied solely to protect American
workers in a good and liberal wage
and to secure to American capital
actually invested in industries a fair
and reasonable profit, and not to
build a wall Of exclusion behind which
giant combinations, formed to elm
innate competition and monopolize
lines of trade, may flourish and prac-
tice extortion on the American con-
sumer."
So far as we can recall that Is the
first time a republican platform has
ever limited at the idea that the tariff
might be used or was being used to
foster "giant combinations" at the
expense or the consumer. But here
1t is . party declaration. 1t is a very
significant Indication that there is a
sentiment developing, even among
the friends of the system Of protec-
tion, that 1t Is being abused and that
1t Is time to take account of the rights
OF the consumer as a party to the
transaction. Undoubtedly there Is a
growing sentiment. even among pro-
tectionists, who are protectionists on
principle, that the favors which pro-
lection affords have been bestowed to
q degree which enables the direct
beneticiaries to reap benefits to which
they are not entitled and that this
over protection, so to speak, must
stop and the undeserved and grossly
abused advantages be reduced to a
reasonable degree. That is not free
trade; 1t is reasonable protection for
the benefit of all the American people
correct In principle but taken adj
vantage Of by selfish greed to an OK
tent which threatens the whole sys-
tenn.
