Get out of debt, bend every exertion to this end. Contentmeat is the best wealth. Every healthy man can enjoy thjp blessing. Utopian financial theories always bring ^disaster when adopted. Protection cheapens products and in creases wages. Republicanism means honest money, honest wage? and honest elections. Republicanism and eynoDomous terms. prosperity are Persistent effort and reasonable econo my will bring competence, comfort and contentment. A vote for Harrison and Reid is a vote for a certainty. A vote for Weaver A Field is a bet with great odds against you. ©on't believe any man who says there is a way io which you can become pros perous and happy without hard later aud prudent economy. Debts contracted when money is cheap have invariably been either dishonorably repudiated or only paid by the most heroic effort and grinding sacrifice. Two years ago 10 pounds of bnttfer paid for 12 pounds ot sugar, today 0 pounds ot butter buys 10 to pound! of sugar. The depression in wheat due to the cholera epidemic will soon be over and the normal price will be restored, which this year is about 75 cents per bushel. Every article you buy at the stores Is cheaper than two years ago. This is in accordance with experience. Protection invariably niiMtiwn nm^t "4pi»""pp* v- V It has been the history of civilization that oheap money has created large debts which invariably have fallen due and be come payable when muney had become dear and bard to obtain. Butter all over Dakota finds a ready market at from 18 to 25 cents. Eggs 12 to 16 cents. Onions 75 cents. These prices are entirely due to the wise repub lican tariff. In 1890 one refrigerator car per week itarted from Watertown. This year seven refrigerators per week are required by the great growth in the butter and egg business due to the Republican tariff It costs half a billion a year to run the government. 8ome one must pay it. Under free trade every cent must come from our own consumers. Under pro tection the foreigner, seeking our mar kets, pays most of it. We state the proposition broadly fiat money never did exist and maintain its normal value in civilized society and further fiat money never will exist and maintain its value as a circulating me dium. The Crawford Primary system for nominating county officers recently adopt ed by the republicans of Codington coun ty has proven a splendid success. Bo good a distribution of the officers was never beiore made in that county, nor so satisfactory a ticket put up. A cheap money never has and never will be maintained beyond a few years So certainly as in the order of nature low water follows a flood, so will an era of cheap money be followed by a period of hard times when the burden of grind ing debt must be borne. The republican policy is the praotical business policy. Not married to high tariff more than to tree trade, it studies our markets and our necessities, protect ing and preserving the American market for every article we can success! u I ly pro duoe and malting those thiegs- we cannot grow, or make, absolutely tree. VOTERS. Whatever your politics or whatever your creed, the HERALD-ADVANCE gives you full credit tor sincerity of purpose and earnest desire to do the thing and vote for the thing which will bring the greatest degree of individual and gener al prosperity. Our objects are identical. Only a question of method is involved. As citizens and neighbors here in Grant County, all alike interasted ia the common welfare, there is no reason why we should not calk these differences in method over together, calmly and dis passionately, with the honest intent to discover and adopt the best. THE HERALD-ADVANCE, firm in the re publican faith, believes that the funda mental and essential issues ot this year are involved in the tariff question and the money question. Other weighty questions are involved the importance of which we fully recog nize. but we believe them to be of sec ondary import at this time. It is usually unprofitable to multiply issues. On the two main questions we have strong and clearly defined views. We believe the maintainence of the system o! protection is vital to the pros perity ot all classes ot Americans and we sincerely believe that to no class is it more vitally important than to the far mers ot the Northwest. We believe that no stable and perma nent prosperity can be maintained here or elsewhere without the maintainence of a sufficient circulating medium— money—based on an unvarying standard of intrinsic value derived from labor. To a fair, candid and impassionate dig cussion of these subjects, as we under stand them and according to our honest faith will our columns be devoted during this campaign and we trust all our read ers of whatever political faith will give what we have to offer the fair considera tion which honest convictions always merit. Rleney. We believe these things are funda mental ly essential to the creation of any monetary system. It must be based on intrinsic value, wbiuh value must be determined by the approximate amount of labor required to produce it. It—the base of money—must be, as nearly as may be, unvarying in product ion and value. It must be, as nearly as may be, Im perishable. It most be conveniently and, inexpen sively transportable. It must be provided in sufficient quan tities to meet the demands of business bet must be so restricted as to make debt a harden from which ill prudent afa«baUsbri«gt 'v. •«, I i iiL JtZ 1'*, A .. The republican party belie yea in raain i taining a sound, honest, circulating me dium which will always and under all circumstances net the holder 100 cents lor every dollar he possesses. It believes in providing enough of this kind of money to meet all the demands of busi ness. It knows of no "honest way in which the people can get possession of this money without exchanging a valua ble equivalent lor it. A friend calls attention to the coppers and nickels—pennies and five cent pieces—and asks it they are not practi cal exemplifications of the fiat idea, in that they pass current at par although their intrinsic value is hut as one to ten? We answer that the value of these coins does nut in any degree depend upon the fiat, but upon the fact that they are al ways exchangeable and receivable by the government at their face value for gold coin, otherwise they would be valuable only as copper and nickel at the market pound rate. Fusion has failed after all. Both the Democratic and Populist state tickets have been formally filed with the Secre tary of State and will he printed on the official ballot. While the question was a matter of indifference to republicans we can not help hut feel a greater degree of respect tor our opponents who have thus refused tf compromise their princi ples for the sake of an uncertain tempo rary advantage. We liKe to see men and parties, whether weak or strong fol low the middle of the road. The formula ot Ayer's Sarsaparilla is well known to ihe medical profession, and universally approved. The reputa tion ot the firm guarantees excellence and uniformity in the medicine, and the world's experience for nearly half a cen tury has lully demonstrated its value. For Over Hfly years. Mrs. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP, for children teething, is the prescription of one of tbe i*esi female nurses and physi cians in the United States, and has been used for over fifty years wiih never-fail ing success by millions of mothers for their children. During the process of teething its value is incalculable. It re lieves the child from pait, cures dysen tery and diarrhcEa. giipir.g of the howels and wind colic.

As usual, they put the cart before" the horse. It is our American system of protec tion that creates and uevr,lopes indus tries, giving our masses work and wages, comforts and homes, education and ambition. This stimulates inventive genius, Mid when new devices are planned and per fected there is use for them at once. Thousands of pairs of boots and shoes are daily made in Miuwachusetts bv machinery, giving employment to thou sands of workmen at good wage&. We export largely to England, where labor is much cheaper than in this country. The United States leads in inventions, three times as many patents being granted here as in Great During our free trade period, from 1640 to 1800, the total number of patents granted was 20,234. Fi'om 1801 to 1875 the number granted was 127,345, and from 1875 to 1889 the number was 230,955. The greatest number issued in anyone year prior to 1802 was 4,819, while now we issue annually from 25,000 to 80,000. The result is a cheapening of the product, increased consumption and greater demand for labor at good wages. Protection does not make geniuses, but it does make the opportunity, it im proves the mind, stimulates the intellect and rewards the inventor. Wherever the influence of a protective tariff has been greatest, there invention has progressed most rapidly. The result is saving in cost of production and greater prosperity for the masses of the people.—American Economist.
