The Mandan Pioneer, though avowedly republican in politics, believes in mouthing the sentiments of its readers and supporters, the farmers of Dakota, and on that policy comes out in open denunciation of protective tariff and what it properly denominates 'the tariff leeches of our country.' Such a display of vigorous honesty and outspoken conviction is refreshing—as admirable as the action of the four Minnesota congressmen, who by their votes supported Morrison's tariff bill. Men who cast aside party allegiance to give their aid and their influence to measures designed to benefit their constituents and the country as a whole deserve continued support.
