Dated at Ellendale this 9pd day of October 1890. THURLOW WEBD. Cpjupty Auditor, pickey C,o., N. D. WiiMi ™r^^r""r,il"' W^^p'lVWVW!^ py, UUU TT VIA. jthings to and DucH^ao OAKES WEEKLY REPUBLICAN. THOSE who believe that the House of Representatives is intended for a business body, and not one of idle ness and trifling at the expense of the people, will vote for Hon. M. N. Johnson for Congress. Those who believe that the progressive, loyal men of the North should rule the desbi^ of this nation? instead of the l&trogressive, obstructionists of the Soirth, will vote for Hon. M, N. Jgbson, the Republican nominee fpiftingresi. REPUBLICANS, do not remain at hopie next Tuesday arfd be indiffer ent to the success of the Republicon ticket, thinking the Democrats are not working. They are small ihings to contend with, but are here, and everywhere, like the n's flea. They are work ing hard and earnestly and are Worthy of—not the offices—but your mettle to keep them out of office. They are hungry and are therefore desperate. They will work for and stick to their straight ticket and you should work for and stick to every man an the Republican ticket. REPUBLICAN supremacy in North Dakota means the continued success of the temperance cause and the upbuilding of all that is for the best interests of our people. Either the Republican or Democratic party must surely win. A vote therefore given to the prohibition-democratic alliance-with-the-Devil movement is against the Bepublican party and counts one for the Democratic party —the champion of f. t. and f. w.— free trade and free whisky. Re publican prohibitionists, fanatics, cranks, or whatever our friends please to call us, we cannot afford to throw our vote where it does not count for the Republican party and where it counts one for bemocratic habits and Democratic principles. IT is a pleasure to the best men of both parties to know that the present campaign is not one of mud elingiug and venomous personali ties. It i* an era in our county pol itics which we hope will be perpetu ated. The State campaign is being coiiducted upon a purely educational basis and the leadors in their ad dresses confine themselves to the discussion of the tariff and other questions of direct interest to oar people. We uiustjpass for what it is worth the fact that Hon. Taylor Crum in his speeches has the poor taste to call Senator Davis a liar. Perhaps that is the lawyer in him— a way of calling pet names—as he is said to be one of the best criminal lawyers in North Dakota. THIS is a favorable year, owing to poor crops and the consequent de pression in agriculture, for the Dem ocratic howl that this state of affairs is the result of our tariff. They would have you believe that the re cently enacted McKinley law is the reason of the farmers' poverty last year. This was th6 burden of Mr. Porter's song rendered in Gorder's Opera House last Thursday. Mr. Porter well knows, as does every other sensible person, that the reason of the present hard times with our farmers is a failure of crops the past two years. The ar gument that it is the McKinley bill or the result of the tariff in any way is simply preposterous. Two years ago, when we had a go6d crop and $1.25 per bushel for wheat, what better times could our farmers want? The cry that the increased tariff on woolen goods will be to our disadvantage is simply a bugbear of Democratic creation. Even the Democratic haranguers in broadcloth could net ask for clothing to be cheaper, when Bittman sells a good pair of pants for $3.00, good enough for even a Democrat to wear. Let North Dakota Demo crats engage in sheep raising and they will not complain at the tariff on wool. As has been aptly said, what difference does it majce if you do have to pay $1 more for tt auit of clothes if you can make $10 in wool culture? 3i|PP '"W "'•""•PiH®|'*r""~ffi!" ^T"^ T(f V, N,. OAKES, DICKEY COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, OCT. 31,1890. TERMS, $2.00. THE Lindsay Post, a Canadian newspaper, after inquiring how the farmers of that domain will be affected by the McKinley bill, says: ''To the individual farmer, reciproci ty would give thirty cents additional value on every bushel of barley— forty cents on every bushel of peas— 25 cents on eyery bushel of potatoes —$4 a ton on hay—$30 on every horse worth less than $150—$10 on every head of cattle more than a year old—$1.50 on every sheep a year old—75 cents on every lamb —and a similar increase upon every character of farm produce." It is true the McKinley bill was not passed in the interest of Canada, England or any other foreign country —it is strictly American. If it cuts the Canadian farmers according to the above figuring it is plain that it helps4tle American farmers just that much. FREE trade has been Ireland's doom. That country^ which has been degraded by England's oppress ion once supported in reasonable comfort 8,000,000 of people. Her manufacture in linen, silk, wool, and cotton, protected by tariffs and encouraged by subsidies, absorbed her capital, employed her laborers, promoted a diversity of industries, and insured prosperity. To-d»y, with only 5,000,000 of people, she is the poorest, most distracted and harrassed country en earth. The cotton manufacture of Dublin, which employed 14,000 operatives, and the 3,000 silk looms ef the Liberty have been destroyed. Ire land was compelled to drink the poisonous free trade cup which Eng ladd pressed to her lips to the very dregs, and now that destroyer of property and human souls, aided by her ally, the Democratic party, would press the same poisonous cup to the lips of the working people America. 1 LAST Thursday two Democratic notables spoke in Oakes—and it was a great '"spoke"—notably in one instance. Beiij, Porter, Candidate for state senator, "broke the ice" for Hon Taylor Crum. The most of his speech, about the terrible "robber tariff," he had down pat—on paper— and measured it off by the yard. But it was a great "break" he made about "women's and children's clothing," in speaking of the Mc Kinley bill—fit to go ringing through our legislative halls. He quoted something new about Graver Cleaveland saying "a public office is a private snap," but HB thought "a public office a public trust," or vice versa. He thought $2,500 a year foi county treasurer too much and was a "private snap," while the ''poor toilers" had to pay it. A few years ago when his brother was county treasurer we fancy we see this same Benjamin running to him, throwing his arms frantically around his neck, and with brotherly love and solicitude crying, "O, Charles, this is too much you must net take it from these poor toilers, they can't stand it we must give fifteen hundred back to them!" Benjamin, however, was not run ning for office then and had no mo tive in gulling the "poor toilers." Now is the time to act—to practice economy instead of simply tOL talk it. Induce your ex-Democratic office-holders to pay the surplus of each year over $1,000 back into the county treasury, Mr. Porter. It would be only about $6,000 from your brother to the "poor toilers." SIR that on next Tuesday yen veto for pur# government and there by stamp with your disapproval any attempt at bribery. IT is enough for me to know that the gates of Castle Garden always swing inward for the workingmen, —James G. Blaine.' BB STJBE MARRIED. In Dickey County, North Dakota, on the 4th day of November, 1890, by the Rev. Judas Iscariot, Mr. Democratic Party and Miss Sal, Bribery, both of Dickey county. The contracting parties are wel) known to our citizens. Their great popularity is unquestioned and they are the recipients of many hearty congratulations and pleas ant^) wishes in this, their happy time of love and union. The char acters of the party are well known and we need not call attention to the fact. The happy couple were the recipients of many beautiful wedding presents, among them be ing: A set of beautiful,pearly tear drops shed by the handsome Editor Meore a package of plaintive groans and howls of defeat, by Brother Tormod Wettre one car load of "pauper"' oats, by John F. McCarthy one bunch of silky red whiskers, in ntorocco case, by Son, M. J.Sullivan one-half dozen sil ver plated cries of "I ain poor and unfortunate," by Cousin Frank Al drich four kegs of beer, donor un known one bundle of tariff litera ture, needed no more, Father Ben jamin Porter. But the most telling, handsome and most uffectingly re ceived present tendered was a slip of paper on which appeared the mystic words, "Republicaujticket of Dickey county elected with a rousing ma jority. All candidates elected." This present was received with tears of joy(?) by the happy couple. Im mediately after the ceremony, at which were present all the citizens of Dickey county, the joyful couple embarked on the sail boat "Left," under command of Adoffta! Porter, for a prolonged trip up Suit Creek. May they have a lengthy visit and inay they be so pleased with their new location that they will make it their future home, is th» wish of all honest citizens of Dickey county. Notice of Chuttei Mortgage Sale. Whereas, the Democratic party of the county of Dickey, State of North Dakota, presume by their measure of the honesty of the vot ers of the said county and by the agreement entered into by certain Democratic candidates that the peo ple of the county have mortgaged unto them the following described personal property to wit: One free and independent vote owned and held by each qualided voter of the said county of Dickey, which said mortgage was given to secure the payment to the said democratic party of enougli votes to place certain persons, viz: Tormod Wettre, Frank Aldrich, M. J. Sullivan, Benjamin the Levite and other parties, in the official chairs of the county's government, on which we claim there is now due the sum of thnt certain number of votes which will elect to office the said and before men tioned parties. And, whereas, the said mortgagee deems himself insecure in the payment of the said debt, by rea son of the said voters appreciating the degraded acts of the said party, and f«ars that the said people will rise in their might and buiy the said mortga gee under an avalanche of good straight Bepublican votes. Now. therefore, notice is hereby given, that by virtue of said supposed mortgage, and by order of the Democratic party, the present owners and holders thereof* we will sell at public auction the above described chattels, at the front door of every polling place iu the said county of Dickey, on tho 4th day of November, 1890, to satisfy the debt se cured by said mortgage, and the inter est thereon, and the cotts and expenses of Baid you get a Republican 'ticket on next Tuesday, read it from top to bottom and back ggain, and then vote it straight! sale, together with attorney's fees, viz., the office of State Senator from said county, according to the stipulations of mid mortgige. Let every good Democratic tandidate bid in his own votes and pay for them and allow no higher bidders. Dated at Dickey county. North Da kota, this 80th day of October, 1800. DICKEY OO. DEMOCRATIC PARTY, Mortgagee. Benjamin, tho Levite, Attorney for Mortgagee. J. F. McCarthy, of Minneapolis, Spe cial Foreclosing Agent. LET every Republican be on hand next Tuesday, 's •IP nm THE pust two years have been unmistakably discouraging to the farmers and business men of this section. But there is no use be moaning the past. The time spent in recounting losses should be devoted to devising means for mak ing good those losses, and planning for next year's work. Those who can lend their influence toward help ing along the irrigation movement should do it. Those who are ou a farm and not in a position to do this should try in some way to get a start in sheep and other stock so as to make a living even though the wheat crop is a partial failure. Determine to make a success and put forth all your energies to that end. Prepare to farm well that which you put in crop, and you will harvest more if you do net scatter so much seed. THIS section of Dakota will be all right in time. We have had good times and it will be contrary to the nature of things if we do not have them again. The past two years we have been passing through the crisis which befalls nearly every new country. The five years pre ceding a partial crop failure were years of prosperity and many farmers made what it would have taken them a life-time to make on some eastern farm. People's heads were turned at the rattle of gold in their pockets they bought more land and went in debt lieayily for horses and machin ery with which to farm it, thinking of no iuch thing as a drawback. The past two years they have had propounded to them a new lesson —that of economy and the necessity of the most careful diligence in small details. Necessity haa been a stern master they liaye studied hard and learned the lesson well. It has been the crucial test of char acter. Those who have had the health to Temain firmly and stead fastly at their posts will yet be re warded with wealth and all the comforts ef life. In all history those were the greatest heroes, in eur minds, who were steadfast in their loyalty to country, fidelity to principle and firmness in adversity and oppression and to-day these same traits of character call out all the respect and admiration in human nature. Had it not been for the persistent endurance of the little band of Pilgrims and others who first settled America the chances are that it would have been a wilder ness to-day. We feel a tinge of contempt as we read of those who gave up in despair ami returned to the oblivion of their Sothercountry. What the Pilgrims did-for America you are doing for the Dakotas* What the Dakotas are in ten or twenty years from now depends, upon what you make them. Be loyal to your country and to your state—we say your country because it is the country of every man who comes and lives nnder the protecting folds of our starry emblem. Obliter ate all such words as "foreigner" and live as brothers working for the common weal of our new com monwealth. If in sympathy with American institutions we welcome you—if not, the sooner you return to your native land the better. Stick to your text. "THI way of the transgressor is hard." Republicans, make the road the Democrats wish to travel to offiee on next Tuesday a hard and a atony one. Show them their true worth and estimate them at their proper value by'relegating them to the back seat. No candidate on the Republican ticket should seek his own election at the expense of the balance ot the ticket. Be loyal to your friends, first and lost, even though you fall' with them. VOTE for Honest John Richie, the pioneer farmer since '83. Do not trade. Farmers, Mr. Richie \ivea, with you, works with you and interests are your interests. ... ,-vV 3 5 S ir+ '§feAH '.Sskb# 4 I
