Ifyou will think a moment, you
will certainly reach the conclusion
that the Stevens County Agricultural
Society will never amount to any
thing worthy of notice until its
grounds are fenced and improved.
To fence and improve the grounds
properly will require 81 200 and de-
termined effort is to be made to raise
this amount. There are 1900 men In
Stevens county. Let each of them be-
come member of the Society for one
year and pay the $1.OO fee and the
amount is raised; or let 40 men bay
life memberships, at $500 and the
same result Is secured. The amount
looks large but it can be raised easily
if people will take che proper interest
in the matter. Members are admitted
to the grounds free of charge with
their families during Fair time, so
that if you invest in either 2 one year
or life membership. you will save
more money than you will nay out.
One dollar or even Ave will not 90
very far in buying admission tickets
for family when All interesting Fair
is in session. So buy memberships
and buy them now so that the Society
will have the money to use as soon
rs Spring opens. 1t you do
not care for u membership, make q
cash contribution. Give or do some
thing. Members of the subscription
committee will be after you soon and
you had better lay aside an X or a Y
and have it ready for them. Once
the fair grounds are fenced, they will
be self supporting. The gate receipts
will cover expenses after tho initial
improvements are made. A fence,
buildings and sheds and race track
are the things needed now and we
hope every loyal citizen will take
hold and do his part toward securing
| them

The Agricultural Society.

A meeting Of the Stevens County
Agricultural Society was held In the
TRIBUNE office last Saturday after
noon. The weather was pleasant and
there was good attendance. Every
body was enthusiastic. The spirit
manifested ut that meeting, II con-
tlnued, will soon result in placing the
Society in position to accomplish
something.
After some discussion, it WAS de-
cided to hold the next Fair on FRI
day AMI Saturday, September Fl and
%, 1888. 1t was also decided to i'm
prove the grounds belonging to the
Society and use them, instead OF
using the grounds belonging to Henry
Baldwin which the Society Inns used
heretofore. 1t seemed to be the sense
of the meeting that it is imperatiyely
necessary to fence the grounds, make
O race track and erect suitable sheds
aud buildings. To accomplish this
it was deemed best to appeal directly
to the eople of the county to interest
themselves and furnish the necessary
funds. o. Tewksbury, C. Winter
mute, J. Berkin, Samuel Larson and
E. w. Randall compose the commit
tee on subscriptions and these gentle.
men are expected to call upon all and
secure the needed funds. Twelve
hundred dollars can be used to advan-
tage and it is hoped that the commit
tee will succeed in getting that
amount. The next meeting Of the
Society will be in the TRIBUNE office
on Saturday afternoon, Apr. 20, at
o'clock, at which time the subscrip-
ton committee is expected to report.

Selling American Prosperity.

John Finerty, the eloquent Irish orator of
Chicago, delivered speech in Brooklyn a
few days ago, in the course of which he said !:
Il would be ashamed of a man who would
sell the prosperity of a country for a couple
of cheap blankets"
The Democrats are trying to retain their
hold upon the Government by endeavoring
to persuade the farmers of Indiana to sell the
prosperity of the United States for the
difference in price between an American and
an English blanket. They say that if the
Mills bill were to become law blankets
would be cheaper than they are now and with
this argument they hope to induce the Indiana
farmers to join them in their war against the
protected industries of America.
The true American is he who cares m ore
for the prosperity of his country than he
does for the pittance that he might save in
the price of blankets il the Mills bill were to
become a law. Protection is the American
policy. tits based upon the theory that the
first duty Of the Government is to consider
the welfare OF the people of this country, re-
gardless of what the effect may be upon the
people of England. This Government was
not made for England's benefit. But the
Democrats are trying to twist it and turn it
in such way as to make it more beneficial
to English than American manufacturers.
This is the war upon the protected indus
tries of the United States upon which one Of
their leaders says they have entered. IF they
had true American spirit, they would stand
by their own people and their own country
regardless of what the Golden Club might
think or say.

The Parrot and the Old Nan.

The Bowery parrot was enjoying the sun.
as the cage had been placed on a three-leged
stool on the sidewalk in front of the abode of
this remarkable bird. man, evidently a
wage Garner, of so, was passing. and paused
as the bird said in it's most insinuating way:
"The tariff is q tax"
'Now that won't do, said the man of so,
''for | know better. A few nights ago l
heard a Democratic orator say was taxed
nearly 100 per cent. on my blankets Not
believing this statement / looked up some
old bills which had among my papers and
found that blankets, such as my son, who
was recently married, paid 81 80 and Sass
for cost me in 1850 $3.50 and 1913
Further inquiry brought out the fact that
blankets that sell to-day for 81 .02 sold in
1860 for 50. The blanket that sells now for
S1.45 sold in 1860 for $3.50 The blanket
that sells now for S1.31 sold in 1860 for
$2.25. The blanket that sells now for $4.35
sold for $3.50 in 1860 The blanket that
sells for $5.S5now, sold for 81 o in 1860. The
blanket that sells now for $3.50 sold for
$13 in 1860. Come old bird how do you get
over these facts?"

asks: "Who paid the $29,729,0OO in duties
collected upon $44.OoO,OoO worth of wooden
goods imported and consumed in this coun-
try last year?''
Persons who were abundantly able to pay
it. On Brussels carpets and fancy rugs,
both luxuries, there was paid half a million;
on expensive cloaks and shawls such
as only the rich wear, 81, 900, 900; on cloths
which, when made up, are worn only by
persons who can afford to pay from
$50 toS75 a suit, $7OG0,OOO; on dress
goods which only the rich could wear if
there We're no duty, $13,000,0O0; on yarns
which sell here at from 70 cents to S15O a
pound, $1,000,OO0; on the expensive wors-
teds for fancy things, S3.OO0,OOO. Here
went $26,O00,OO0 of the duty for things
which the person in average circumstances
could not afford even if there were no duty

The rich paid these duties. They ore luxu-

are not necessary but are luxuries ought to

The Issue,


CLEARLY SET FORTH BY MR.. MORTON.
It's difficult, however. in a political cam
paign to fix popular attention on more than
one issue, and in the pending election every
voter IN the United States clearly sees that
the controlling question is whether the pro.
tective tariff duties now in force shall be so
reduced as to destroy their efficiency, or
whether these duties shall be retained with
such notifications and adjustments as shall
better adapt them to the great end of pro-
tecting the vast and important Industries of
the whole country
The Republican platform, while recognizing
the necessity of reducing the revenue declares
that this reduction must not be made
at the expense of those industries and of
American labor.
The American people have now enjoyed the
protective system for longer continuous
period than ever before in the history of the
National government. The result is that for
more than quarter of century they have
realized degree of industrial and financial
prosperity unprecedented in this country and
never equalled in any other-HoN. L. P. NOR

1t is a late hour in the l5kby of a

in his dress, which works the impress
sion that he has seen. better days.

DR.. Steele was at the, head of the
cavalry that was hurrYing Jefferson

was overtaken. He. had charge of,
the confederacy, for although Lee,s

seen the inquiry.ih print, "WhaI4be-
