THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The ticket nominated by the
republican convention at Hurley
last Friday is one of the strongest
ever placed before the voters ot
this county. The legislative nom
inees are all representative farm
ers and are leading men in the
portions of the county where they
reside. The county oflicers who
were nominated to serve a second
term are too well known to need
any words of praise from the
Herald, and the new men are citi
zens who have the fullest confi
dence of the voters and taxpayers
of the county, and the entire tick
et is entitled to the support of
every republican who will be
qualified to cast a ballot on the
3d of next November. The tight
of the enemy will be directed with
full force against the legislative
ticket, as the United States sena
tor is the main object of then
fight in this state, their being no
possible chance of their carrying
the state ticket.
Edward Atkinson, whose fig
ures stand the test, says that
more than three-quarters of the
present product of silver bullion
of 175,000,000 ounces a year comes
from mines belonging to British
owners. Mr. Bryan promises to
double the value of this British
bullion by the stamp of American
mints and without asking the
consent of any other nation on
earth. It is not likely that ho
would have, to ask a second time
for the consent of the British sil
ver barons.
Pettigrew wants gold to leave
the country. Loucks wants to
demonetize gold because it is one
step towards paper money. Pal
mer tells the workingmen it is to
their interests to maintain the
gold standard, and Grigsby says
that he will admit that to every
pensioner, every man with a fixed
income, free silver will be an in
jury. Kelley wants to hang the
money class, and Knowles wants
a free distribution of property,
and Andy Lee wants to be govern
or. Now isn't this a pretty state
of things?—Huronite.
Murat Halstead: The fact that
the silver propaganda is an im
pudent swindle, and the candi
dacy of Bryan a speculation, ap
pears as the campaign progresses
in a strange light. It is before
the people that there was no crime
of 1873 that the only action tak
en was according to precedent and
harmed no man on earth—did
nothing that wronged anybody—
that the. only error the Govern
ment committed was in buying
too much silyer and stimulating
its production that the more we
do for silver the cheaper it be
comes as we increase its produc
tion by our fa. or that there is
nothing the matter with our
money, and there is nothing to do
but to go on doing as we have
done for eighteen years,- that the
assertions and the expectations of
Mr. Bryan are unworthy of a mo
ment's consideration, for they are
the productions of excessively
stimulated ignorance or an ab
normally developed mendacity.
All business men know the im
measurable disaster the election
of Bryan would be, and the work
ingmen in contact with the great
industries of the country know
of their own knowledge that to
vote for him is to vote for panic
for collapse and ruin, and that is
why the Chicago revolutionists
are losing ground in the cities and
the country, too.
VOLUME XIV. HURLEY, SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1896.
WASHINGTON LETTKK,
From Our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 25, '96.
Senator Hill's attempt to carry
silver on one shoulder and g-old
on the other, in the New York
gubernatorial campaign, is the
most talked about political event
of the week. It pleased the re
publicans very much and it has
unquestionably added to the cer
tai ty they feel of carrying New
York. It has deeply offended
both wings of the democratic
party and the populists, and the
opinion has been freely expressed
by experienced politicians that it
will spoil whatever political fu
ture Senator Hill may have had.
The populists are rather pleas
ed at the action of the democratic
national committee in closing the
Washington branch of its head
quarters and concentrating the
work at Chicago. They consider
it a recognition of their conten
tion, which they have stuck to
from the first, that the battle has
got to be won or lost in the mid
dle western states. The demo
crats only say that the change
was made because it was found to
be more convenient to have the
matter prepared in Chicago, ow
ing to their plates being all made
in that citv, but it appears to be
well understood as an abandon
ment of the silver campaign in
the east, so far as the democratic
national conmittee is concerned.
There are people who doubt
the wisdom of the Bryan mana
gers in making such conspicuous
use of Bismarck's letter to Gov.
Culbertson, of Texas, expressing
the opinion that independent bi
metallism will be a good thing
for the United States. They say
that most people who are posted
on the money question know that
Bis...arck was responsible for the
demonetization of silver in Ger
many and the placing of that
country upon a gold basis, and
that the gold men will soon make
that fact known to all the voters
in this country, and that it will,
be certain to arouse doubts of
Bismarck's sincerity by showing
that he adyises us to do what he
would not allow Germany to do.
Chairman Butler, of the popu
list national committee, says the
report that the populists had
made a formal demand for the
withdrawal of Sewall in Watson's
favor has no foundation. He
said further: "We are doing all
that we can to unite the silver
forces, and would be glad to have
them unite upon Mr. Watson for
ice president, but we have not
presented the matter as a de
mand."
"Yon pay your money and you
takes your choice." Senator El
ki-is, of West Virginia, stated in
the most positive terms while he
was in Washington this week
that his state was certain for Mc
Kinley by a majority of not less
than 12.000, while Judge John
Brannon, of the same state, whose
opportunities for obtaining politi
cal information ought to be just
as good as those of Senator F,1
kins, was equally positive in as
serting that the state would be
carried by Bryan.
It is claimed by the secretary of
the democratic congressional com
mittee that the checks drawn to
the order of Mr. Hayes, general
secretary-treasurer ot the Knights
of Labor, which have come very
near to causing a sensational
scandal, were drawn for legiti
mate purposes—in payment for
printing done for the committee
by the K. of L. printing office in
Washington. He says there were
two checks, one for $1,000, and
one for $800, and that he has no
knowledge of any other payments
to officials of the K. of L. by the
democratic committee.
North Carolina is not put in
the McKinley column to any
marked extent since the news of
the fusion between the democrats
and populists of the state reached
Washington. Senator Butler is
credited with having brought
about this fusion, which seemed
an improbability a few days ago.
One of the most unique suits
ever brought in Washington is
that of a well known firm of
an a
against the secretary of agricul
ture to prevent his entering into
contracts for the purchase of
seeds for free distribution, under
the act of congress providing
therefor. In asking the courts to
step in and stop the secretar}' of
agriculture from buying seed for
free distribution the counsel for
the Michigan firm of seedsmen
say it would injure the business
of their clients for the govern
ment to give away seeds and claim
that it will be a violation of the
constitution, of the United States.
The free distribution of seeds by
the government is not a new
mg by any means, but this
is the first time that its right to
do it has ever been questioned.
Secretary Edgerton, of the
populist national committee, has
shown that the McKinley men
haven't a monopoly of electing a
president on paper, by making
public a table which makes
Bryan's election as certain as the
table of Congressman Orosvenor
made the election of McKinley..
Meanwhile both sides continue to
strive to make conyerts among the
voters,
The tariff is a kind of suspend
ed issue at present, but there is
some,interest attached, neverthe
less, to certain statistics just fur
nished by the United States Con
sul at Bradford, England, which
show that the amount of woolen
goods shipped from that place to
this country during- eleven months
under the Wilson law. was 334,454
pounds, whereas during the cor
responding period under the Mc
Kinley law it was only 5,108
pounds.
Another line Unearthed.
Stillwater, Minn., Gazette: An
other legislative crime has come
to light. Within a few years the
price of nickel has fallen from $4
pound to 27 cents. Search
should be made at once for the
missing- legislative crime.
Volga Tribune: Joseph McDonald,
a prominent Chicago grain man, has
been in South Dakota for the purpose
of
securing data upon which to form ari
estimate of the yield of wheat in this
state. Mr. McDonald is decidedly ol
the opinion that the price of wheat is
bound to advance quite materially be
tween now and spring. He states that
the total yield of wheat in this country
would not exceed 221,000,000, or about
half the usual yield. That in many
states large acreages of wheat have
spciled in the shock and stack, owiny
to the continual wet warm weather.
Everywhere in the west the yield is
proving a disappointment. Because
of
these conditions of the crop and a man i
fest shortage he anticipates steady ad
vance in prices.
Green coffee now sells in the city of
Mexico at 42 cents a pound in Mexican
silver money or for 20 cents per pound
in United States or other gold money.
With free coinage of silyer the Ameri
can will have to pay double the price
lie now pays in this country.
