Senator Hansbrough Calls Attention to Its Provisions Regarding the "Cost of Living." •U-1 Former Senator Hansbrough, who served the state twenty years in the lower house of congress and the United States senate, says the Bis marck Tribune, and who was defeat ed for re-election at the primary of two years ago, contributes an inter esting document to the political literature of the state. '••u 'M Senator Hansbrough does not en tirely approve the tarifl bill. He thinks that some schedules might well and profitably have been changed. Rut Senator Hansbrough was in congress during the enact ment of two tariff bills, and he knows just how tariff bills are agreed upon, and just how they must be agreed upon, under our political system. He knows that this is a big country, with varied interests, lb knows that the senators and repre sentatives are charged bv their con stituents to look after their state and district interests, and a tariff bill is necessarily,in the final enact ment, a compromise among the members of congress, looking to the protection of various interests, and not a cold, mathematical and cal culated series of schedules, looking to the greatest good of all the peo ple and having no concern for the interests of localities. i&jt) "Mb IB AFTER YOU ARE CARRIED, BE SURE TO HAVE A BANK ^ACCOUNT For example, free wool might ben efit- more people in the United Stales than protected wool. Rut what rep resentative from a wool-growing state would lie in favor of tariff laws largely to reduce the price of wool to the producer? I' ree foodstuffs might benefit a great number of people in admitting the products of other countries at a low rate and bringing them into compe tition with the products of North Dakota farmers. Rut do North Da kota farmers want low tariffs or no taritrs on these products? Will the insurgent and democratic campaign ers come out on a free-trade plat form? Will they argue before the farmers of the state that tariffs on wheat, corn, eggs, beef and the different products of the farm should be lowered to the disappearing point Will they declare from the stum]) that if they are elected they will vote and work for such a reduction? Our orators in this state who are fulminating just now against the national administration are not hon est with the people. They declare against the tariff bill as a whole, and are entirely willing to reduce the other fellow's schedules, hut they say nothing about reducing those schedules that directly affect the in terests of this state. $ $ $ $ A iiood Meal.

Subscribe for the immons County Record. The insurgent and democratic or ators point to the "cost of living" as directly the result of the new tariff. They know—as does any one who takes the trouble to inquire —that prices in this country have been steadily advancing for the past ten years—long before the new tariff was passed. They know that the present tariff increases the duty on luxuries and reduces the duty on many articles of necessity. They know that the new tariff produces revenue needed in the administra tion of the affairs of the government. They know that the farmers of this state were never before so prosper ous as now. Rut they are busily en gaged in attacking the republican administration and making general and non-specific arguments against the tariff bill, of which they know little and care less. They are seek ing to profit through stirring up prejudice and dissatisfaction. Wt EMMONS COUNTY RECORD. LINTON. NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JIM: !*. 15H0. congress. Are the farmers of North Dakota, in view of the conditions that exist and have existed for the past decade, going to help them? Senator Hansbrough's warning to the voters should be read with care and deliberation hy the farmers of this state. Let us beware of the ca lamity shouters and makers of empty promises. -KNATOK IIANSItKlM'illlV l.KTTKR. 1 have been away from the state for several months, as you know first, on account of a serious illness, and after that my physicians said it would be necessary for me to keep very quiet in order to build up. They said niv strength would return very slowly, as 1 had been under a great strain for twenty years. So 1 have been devoting my time to re cuperating, atul am glad tu be able to iell you that it has been time well pent. 1 fool younger thanI did ten years ago. Naturally, after a quarter of a century of active political work, 1 have not lost interest in what has been going on in North Dakota, for have a warm place in my heart for the stale and its people, regardless of their political beliefs. And it gives me great pleasure to say that entertain no bitterness toward those who thought best to put me nit of the senate. Life is too short for that kind of thing, even were it Christianlike. 1 am thankful to 'hem for it, for they relieved me of great load of responsibility, and I vvi«h them well under the guidance the aspiring gentlemen who seem anxious to lead them to better things. Nothing that has happened, how ever, could drive me to the desper tle end of being anything but a re publican. Measures are bigger than men and principles greater than politics, and 1 regret the condition if chaos and discord that now pre vails among the factions. You will pardon my egotism when I say that no one knows better than I what it all means. It is simply a scramble for place and power, and, if it were possible for tne to impress my views upon the self-constituted and am bitious leaders who seem determined lo turn our republican state over to our friends the democrats, I would gladly give my time and my restored energies to the task. Rut I am in doubt as to whether any consider able number of gentlemen who are in quest of office would be disposed to listen lo fatherly advice, and it would be an uncertain undertaking to attempt to convince the great mass of the voters that in some re spects they are being misled and bamboo/.led. I owe nothing to any of the 90 called leaders but, as a private citizen and a republican, I cannot look with complacency upon the tendency toward party demoraliza tion and the consequent business up heaval that always follows such a condition. It would be some conso lation, perhaps, if 1 could believe that a change in party control in North Dakota -for that is what is coming if the substantial, thought ful multitude do not check the head less and selfish insurrection—would bring positive relief. Relief from what? From prosperous times?— from business stability?—from a promising future? And what would the state get in return? Well, it would get a change from republican policy (whichmight be improved upon with conscientious and unselfish leaders at the head) to democratic policy and who is there among them that is wise enough and patriotic enough to accurately define democratic policy? What would the democratic harvest he? For an an swer to this question my fellow-re publicans have but to look back a few years. Now, our democratic friends will at once exclaim "Just think of that awful tariff law you republicans passed last year!" I have thought about it a good deal. I have also thought considerably about the last democratic tariff law. That one was worse than this one much worse. And yet the democrats said it was "the best tariff law ever passed." Was it? In some places the smoke is still ascending from the smolder ing industrial wreck. Are any dem ocrats defending it to day? Are they boasting of its virtues? Not at all. Nor do I hear of any republi cans even complaining republicans who praise it. They are all too busy participating in the general prosperity that has come about un der republican tariff laws, which— Senator Hansbrough indicates clearly in his letter to a friendiri this state what is the object of these dis turbers. And he cautions the voters of the state against being led to fol low after strange gods. We had an experience with a democratic tariff hack in the nineties. It should not be necessary lo repeat that experi ence to prove the utter hollowness and shallowness of democratic prom ises. The democrats of this country are united only because ihey are out of control. Put the conservative eastern democrats, the protectionist southern democrats and the radical western democrats to framing a tariff bill and what kind of a meas ure should we have? The last dem ocratic administration enacted a tariff bill that President Cleveland vetoed as "reeking with perfidy and dishonor." And, in the face of I this indictment, the democratic I for party and factional purposes, I stumpers are making specious prom-! fear they are now denouncing. Is iscs and declarations that are mere- any considerable number of repub ly for th- pin-pose of getting back I licans going to help the democrats into office and obtaining cont rol of kindle another industrial and com SEZ! mercial holocaust? 1 cannot believe it. Some republicans may. but it might be well for the voters to ask them why they are doing it. Per haps they are anxious to get on the pay-roll. Wouid the democrats put them on? Ask my friend, ilovernoi Rurke. wether lie has put any of them on. Now, it not for me to defend the schedules in th" pre.-ent tariff law. 1 did not lu-ip to make them. Ibid I been the senate am quite sure I would ha\e tried to improve them. Still, 1 would have helped to reduce the duties on lumber, on iron ore. on oil, and on many iron and steel article.-. All this was accomplished. I would have helped to increase the duties on luxuries. This was done. Now. as a tariff for revenue only." the present law is a success. As a tarn! that has not paralyzed business, who ill truthfully assail it So, 1 am not going to encourage any republican to join I lie democrats in chasing phantoms. As a republi can one that is not looking for office I prefer republican policy to dem ocratic policy. Thi preference is not the result of hide bound par tisanship, for the l'oiigressional Rec ord will show that 1 ha\ voted with democratic senatois a number of times always when I thought they were right. It ihe result of try ing to do the tight thing, the hope of warning those that are like ly to be misled or befoggled by am bitious factional leadeis.
