Resolutions Adopted by the Wiscon
sin Press Association, July 27,
1888.

RESOLVED, The summer meet
ing of the Wisconsin Press Asso-
citation for 1888, at Milwaukee
July "a, and the subsequent ex-
cursion of three days through
northern Wisconsin and Michigan,
have been replete with incident
and experience Of the greatest
interest, and are unsurpassed in
the ANIMALS Of the Association for
the purposes Of present enjoyment
or future profit.
RESOLVED, That the mastery
address before the Association by
Charles A. Dana, the most distin-
guished Of living American editors,
was highly appreciated compli-
ment and a most valuable contri-
button to the literature of journal
ism; that the recitations of In
dlana's son Of genius, James Whit
comb Riley, gave to his hearers,
one and all, a great and lasting
pleasure; that the thousand miles
Of travel under circumstances of
happiest social relationship,
through a region which exempt
hes more conspicuously perhaps
than any other on the continent,
the conflict and the triumphant
establishment of the highest civil
ization in the wilderness, revealed
to each tourist marvellous present
and prophetic achievement, sur
passing the anticipations Of the
most sanguine; and resolved fur
Their, that we return to our
homes and our work, refreshed,
inYigorated and better equipped
for the duties laid upon us through
the knowledge newly gained
from the things we have seen and
heard.
RESOLVED, That the courtesies
received from individuals, associa-
tons and Committees have added
very greatly to the enjoyment of
our week Of absence from our
sanctums, and that while 1t is not
possible to make full and complete
acknowledgement of the same, we
cannot refrain from expressing our
lasting obligations TO the officers
of the Association, and especially
to Pres. Hicks and Sec'y Coon,
who planned so untiringly for the
complete success of the under
taking; to Charles A. Dana, and
James Whitcomb Riley, for their
presence at our annual meeting
and their memorable participation
in its exercises; to Miss Lucy
Jackson for her delightful contri-
button Of song, and to the several
Milwaukee musicians for their
happy efforts at entertainment; to
Manager Jacob Lit for the use,
both afternoon and evening, of
that magnificent place Of assembly
the New Academy OF Music; to
TIE Press and Commercial Clubs
Of Milwaukee for many valuable
favors; to the Phi Best Brewing
Co, and G. II. YenoWine Eor civil

The Free Trade Plea Of Cheapness.

The free trade attorneys claim
as the chief merit Of proposed
tariff reduction that it will reduce
prices. And in this they are at
least partially correct. The recent
experience of England under the
fiscal policy now advocated for
this country shows that cheaper
wheat from India, cheaper meat
from America, cheaper wool from
Australia and South America,
have made Improbable lands at
home; that values of English
farms have fallen off 40 to 70 per
cent, while each year large tracts
are withdrawn from tillage.
If a like result of cheapness is
to follow an approach to free trade
here, an alternative is presented
which it is we'll for large class of
our people to seriously consider
before aiding to strike down the
policy under which our country
has hitherto made such advances
III wealth and greatness.
We may well be appalled, in
contemplating a shrinkage in real
estate values in the United States
to one-half the extent experienced
in England, and the losses of
farms and homes it would entail
upon those industrious toilers who
have incurred debts in securing
homes for themselves and families.

NINTH DISTRICT.

The following letter, written by a
well posted and Jealous republican
of Marine cite, is Of interest at this
time. It bears date August 3:
"The letter of Hon. Isaac
Stephenson declining to be con-
sidered a candidate for renomina-
ton will heighten the interest
among the aspirauts throughout
the district, several of whom have
their lightning rods up, as the
saying is, ready to be struck by
congressional lightning. Mr..
Stephenson does not say that he
would not accept the nomination
under any circumstances, and
hence it may be taken for granted
that if the delegates cannot agree
upon any Of the other candidates
he will again make the race. He
is a Shrewd political manager,
having learned much of the ms
and outs Of politics during his six
years i'll congress. 1t must be
said of him that he has looked
well after the interests Of his
constituents and made but few
mistakes.
Hon. Edward Scofeld, of Oconto
state senator from the first district,
has been favorably mentioned for
the nomination and will have a
strong support from this end of
the district. He has made q good
record as state senator, is an able
business man, possessing excellent
executive ability and was a gallant
soldier in the war for the Union.
He was unfortunate enough to
be taken prisoner during the last
year of the war, and for several
months was confined in rebel
prison pens, and sampled the bills
OF fare in twelve different prisons.
His health was somewhat shattered
by the experience, but he yet
retains vigor enough to make a
gallant fight for ''free ballot and
a fair count" and the protection of
American industries and American
wage workers. The only objection
urged against Major Scofeld is
that he lives in the same5 part of
the district as Mr., Stephenson, and
that if a new man is selected, he
should be taken from some other
locality. Should the question OF
location operate to prevent the
nomination of Major Scoheld, then
we should rally to the support OF
that other brave and battIe-scarred
veteran, the Hon. Geo. r. Gardner
of Grand Rapids. He has had
Legislative experience, is an able
lawyer, fine speaker, and his
empty sleeve would appeal to
every member of the G. A. R. and
to every patriot throughout the
district. This is a soldiers year.
The stars and stripes will be the
campaign badge Of every republi-
can all over this broad land, and
to be consistent, let us nominate
and elect to office the men who
periled their lives to preserve the
old flag, "the emblem of liberty,
equal rights and national unity
