THE JAMESTOWN SITUATION.
A Clear Statement of the Spirit and
Results OF the Action Taken.

attSttltS Sl tut Action likSils
George y. silsby, OF this city, who
was one OF the active moving forces
at Jamestown, writes us follows to the
Fargo Republican,:
[ have read with great pleasure the
article in your editorial column OF the
18th inst, headed, The Lesson of 1t"
which states clearly and concisely the
position oi u very large majority of the
delegates at the Jamestown convention,
and OF the principles upon which the
combination was formed and success
fully carried out, to wit:
First: The principle that the major
ity should rule was emphasized in Sc
lecting delegates who should fairly
represent that majority Gor division
and admission as two states) at the ma
tional convention.
Second: The principle of equity and
justice i'll a fair and honorable division
OF the delegates and alternates to the
different sections OF this vast domain
was given due consideration.
Third: The principle that party veal
| is paramount to the wishes of any in
diyidual member thereof, was estab-
liShed on a firm foundation.
Fourth: The principles so unani-
mously adopted by the republican lead
ers in both houses of congress, We're
fully endorsed, thus wheeling the re-
publican party OF Dakota squarely in
to line and sustaining the national
party in Its honorable and hearty de-
tense of our rights.
These We're the leading principles on
which the various sections of the ter
ritory joined hands.
There was also a strong undercur-
rent pervading a majority of the dele
gates that the younger republicans
should be duly recognized. But there
was no disposition to freeze OUT the
old "war horses, and the entire pro-
ceedings of the powerful "combina-
ton" were characterized by spirit of
| fairness that cannot but commend
itself to the minority, who made a
weak attempt to qefeat its object.
| The action of eX-Goy. Mellette in the
convention, caused much unfavorable
| comment, and weakened to marked
degree his power and influence, and the
writer hereof, who is an ardent ad-
mirer of Hon. johnson Nickeus the
brainy man from StutSmar county,
sincerely believes that the use of his
name before the convention was un-
warranted, and had he not been i'll,
it would have been quickly Withdrawn.
The entire action of the convention
was on the basis of 1.-The greatest good
to the greatest lumber" with no
north and mo south" arrayed against
each other, but in u spirit of fairness
yieing with each other in laudable eff
forts to redeem Dakota from misrepre-
sentaton, and from the enemies of
| good government, progress, division,
and admission. The sun OF our pros
perlty and political advancement has
emerged from the dark clouds Of sec
tional prediudice. and in all its etful'
gent splendor shines, from a clear sky.
upon people united in common
brotherhood of noble purpose, for the
4 emancipation of our political power
and the upbuilding of our best inter
ests; in the development of which, good
people and true republicans everywhere
will say God speed" Very Truly,

Called to Account.

Fargo Republicans: The position as
sumed by the Minneilaha delegation,
in the early part OF the canvass at
Jamestown, was the subject of criti-
cism there, and has since received so
much attention in south Dakota as to
necessitate an explanation. Mr.. d..
w. Caldwell, of the Sioux Fails Press,
was chairman of that delegation, and
its guiding spirit. Though a pro
fessed diyisionist, Of the ultra sort, he
fell into The net prepared by the Cass
county boilers and Jud LaNIoure. and
for a time seemed bent on Wrecking
the cause which he claims to have
nearest his heart. Having been prod
ded by Ralph Wheelock, of the Mitch
ell REPUBLICAN,, for desertion OF his
natural allies and friends, Cal" has
been brought to book with an at
tempted justification both of his mo-
tives and his course. The substance OF
Gals" explanation is, that the dele
gates from MIinnehaha and other
counties, en- route to Jamestown, dis
cussed the situation, and adopted the
idea of leaving the different sections
of the territory to select their own
delegates to Chicago; and he claims
that this method met the appreciation
of Mr.. Hubbard, of Fargo, who joined
the party at La Moure. This theory
was pursued after reaching Jamestown,
and brought about this situation:
LaMoure and Stone claimed a ma
jority there, and the editor of the
Press. in accordance with what some
of tho best divisionists in the territory
| had declared would be a fair
method of settling the matter, was
willing that north Dakota should
choose them if it wanted to, so long as
they We're not ranked as anti-diyiSion-
lists.
Mr. Caldwell further explains that
after new arrivals Tuesday, when 1t
became evident that the local adjust
nent plan of selecting would not be
satisfactory, it was abandoned, and
NIinnehaha went into the combi-
nation which carried the day triumph
antly.
Mr.. Wheelock, in his brief rejoiner,
takes this short turn on the easy-go-
ing gentleman from Sioux Falls:
The agreement based on the suppo-
sitlon that the north Dakota division
lists We're sure of a majority in that
section had no possible resemblance to
the plan which was afterwards settled
upon involving the selection Of the
LaMoure-Stone slate; and right here
according to his own admission, is
where CAL got off his base for q
short time
While it Is clear that Gals" eXpla-
nation needs explaining. still we are in
favor Of letting him off this time
under firm conviction thai he will lnet
do Sc any more-until the next time.

in the country's history. In the house
tho eastern states opposed, and the west
and south favored it. The senate was
tied upon it. Vice President Dallas, who
had been elected on distinct pledge
that he would maintain the tariff of 1912,
gave the casting vote in the senate which
replaced the tariff of 1912 by the revenue
tariff of 1916. The average rate of duty
on dutiable goods had been 33.47 per
cent. under the act of 1912, and under
that of 1916 it was brought down to 26.22
per cent.
On many articles the tariff of 1916 re-
mained in force until repealed by the Nor
rll tariff of 1861. Reductions on most of
tho commodities on the tariff schedules
were made. however, ia 1857 New Eng
land united with the south in favor of
this act, all the rest of the country OPP
posing it. The average rate on dutiable
goods under the tariff of 1857 was but
20. 12 per cent, which was lower than any
rate collected within the preceding forty
five years. Some Industries languished
during tho latter years of the tariff of
1916, but under the lower rates of 1857 oc-
CURED the severest industrial and fnan-
cial panic which has afflicted the country,
except that which took place in 1887.
AlONS1IL I4Aiilft
The Morrill, tariff was signed by Presi-
dent Buchanan on March 9, 1861 two
days before his retirement from Office.
This act changed all the rates previously
existing, and was by far the most elabor-
any country up to that time. Many
in nearly all cases being raised. Reduc-
tions began to be made in 1872, tea and
coffee, which had been dutiable since 1861,
being put on the free list that year.
Duties, too, were lowered on woolen and
cotton goods, WOOL iron, glass and other
articles. The tendency of duties since that
time has been steadily downward Tho
latest change in tho tariff WAS made by
the act signed on March 3, 1883. which re-
duced most of the existing rates, and abol
ished the internal tax on many articles.
This is a brief and rapid survey of tariff
legislation during the past one hundred
years. On some of the points in the later
history of the subject the book does not
touch. 1t gives, however, u full. unparti-
san and accurate account of the various
acts down to and including the passage of
| the Morrill, tariff, as we'll as the influences
which led to the adoption of each and the
| consequences which have resulted.
[ The Introduction OF Tree trade ~ Eng
| land has obliged that country to maintain
an oppressive system of direct taxation to
obtain the means for the support of the
government. Mr.. Thompson is convinced
that a like policy will follow the adoption
of free trade III the United States. Taxes
in some form would have to be levied. The
government consumes much. but it pro-
auces nothing Taxation, therefore, for
its support is absolutely necessary, and
all are compelled to bear it's burdens. The
taxation which is the most readily and
cheaply collected. and which is least op-
pressivo to the people, he contends, is that
which is collected at the custom house.

Tariff refo:mers are very fond of crying
Look at Germany" whenever it is sug
gested that protective tariff has con
ferre,l any benefits upon the United States.
They apparently forget the vast strides
Germany has made in the way of increased
prosperity since the abandonment of free
trade Its commerce has increased 81 per
cent, its maritime tonnage 120 per cent,
and it's bank discounts, showing tho
activity of domestic trade, 240 per cent.
A comparison of Germany protected with
free trade Germany will convince any fair
minded person that the conditions of the
Germans have been greatly benefited by
the change. Telegram.

The latest development of civil service
reform at Washington appears, according
to The Cleveland Leader, in the borrowing
of small sums of money by Democratic
chiefs of divisions in the department from
Republican clerks and forgetting to re-
turn the same. Naturally the victims are
charges against them will be trumped up,

will create littlo surprise among people

Will Mr.. Cleveland denounco the re-
cent Democratic state convention in this

ors, postmasters, whisky gaugcrs and
other federal officials than any like assem-
