To the North Dakota Soldier.

There is little lova in the South for
the men who fought the Rebellion to
q standstill. OF the vast sumo paid
from the National treasury to the
Union veterans, but little reaches the
South. 1t is, perhaps, natural that
the people OF that section should OBJ
i!ect to a tax which brings them no
benefit. 1t is natural that they should
manifest their dislike by gleefully sup.
porting q candidate for President who
is hostile to the pensioners of the
Union Army.
If veterans vote for Cleveland they
will understand that they are sup.
porting the man and the party com
mitted, in the very nature of things,
against the whole pension system of
our benign Government.

Lord Salisbury's public reference
to the unparalleled prosperity of the
United States under a protective
tariff was the frank admission of q
statesman-at the same time q
tremendous shock to the British
nation.
And nowtheL London Financial News
asks i'll view of the revelations en-
bodied in the last report ofthe senate's
Finance Committee, whether it is
indeed possible that English free
traders have beenhopelessly and egreg-
iously wrong, whether their expecta.
tions were founded on entire miscon-
ception, or whether the report is not
"a tissue of artfully-contrived fab
rications?" It is further suggested
that the report has been prepared
'by the adherents of McKinleyism"
and that it comes at the opening of
an important election. But after all,
"there stand the positive statements
of the subcommittee in all their force.
that the cost of living has actually
declined in the United States since
the adoption OF the Mckinley act,
whereas in Great. Britain it has in
creased" And with unwillingcredulity
exclaims: 1--WE rub our eyes in
amazement that a wall of hostile
tariffs should be the means of an
era OF prosperity for the people of the

time they tell the truth concerning the
'hungry band of authorized thieves
who made their raid with Sherman
from Atlanta to the Sea-" 1t declares
that "that wretched crowd of thieves
bummers, plunderers and libertines

those which Sherman left in the way
OF ruined homes and burned cities"
These Northern papers paint words
so seductive that makes it possible to
pension every scoundrel who took
part in the red-handed tragedy"
These sentiments expressed a quarter
century after the wal, when the entire
country is employing the tranquil arus
of peace in building up a national
prosperity that is the envy of the
world, are strangely similar to those
expressed by the Democratic nominee
for the vice presidency. 1t is at once

turned out that he did not favor

after the negro had gone it struck me

You can train n mule to do most

There is considerable difference be-
