A Gazette retort charges misrepresentation of Beaumont by a Republican reporter. The letter defends laborers and farmers, arguing wealth comes from honest toil, not scheming or illegitimate gain, and praises Carnegie’s early belief in reward through hard work.
In the Gazette, under assessments and taxes, the editor accuses the state board of equalization of misrepresentation and political bias. It argues a rise in assessment paired with a levy decrease yields no higher taxes, noting railroad tax growth would lower overall levies and taxes, while criticizing Republican-appointed board and urging readers to question the Gazette’s motives.
The piece rebuts Gazette claims on railroad property valuation and depreciation. It cites Republican and Revision figures, notes that farm land assessments appear higher, and argues personal property exemptions and farmer asset understatements skew the comparison.
The Citizen letters explain that U S law requires distillery bonded warehouses and deny claims that the government provides warehouses for farmers. It cites sections 3271 to 3288, detailing storage, control, safety, penalties, and the aim to collect whiskey taxes, advising readers to verify statements by independents about the sub treas ury plan.
Beaumont denounces the idea that government owes workers a living and that honest labor is unrewarded. He attacks the claim that rich men prosper only by legislation, noting real estate in growing cities creates more millionaires than policies or perks. He argues the creed promotes idleness and distrust of industrious effort.

The article recounts a Mt Vernon meeting between Preston and Pease amid partisan claims. It states supporters from Mitchell attended, cheers for Pease and Preston occurred, and the Gazette's depiction as an independent rally is disputed. Preston attempted to speak but was blocked by calamity managers after an initial adjournment.
The piece questions the independent candidates for county judge and state senator about truthfulness at the Mt. Vernon meeting. It criticizes the Gazette’s handling of the event and asks what misconduct Preston and Bray were accused of, while noting Mr. Preston remained calm and courteous during the disruption.
A reader reports a Thursday court house address by Beaumont critiqued for opposing labor, thrift, and fair rewards. The letter claims his anti re distribution stance would ruin civilization, citing his $3000 salary, luxury attire, and the supposed hypocrisy of his position among Dakota workers.
