about sugar, about iron, and they are
at it again. Well, tax of $56, 100000
was lifted from sugar and you are now
getting five or six more pounds of
granulated sugar for dollar than YOU
were before the Mckinley bill became
law. Every store in Redwood Falls
is full of arguments in favor of pro-
lection to American industries. Every
article of necessity, SO far as the price
is concerned, has been reduced. Ma
poleon declared that free trade would
grind a Nation of adamant to powder.
That great German statesman, Bis
marck, who has been retired to private
life by the will of an unjust emperor,
advocates the return of Germany to
the tariff system" \
/ Senator Davis clearly illustrated
how much better it is to have a pro-
tective tariff on woolen goods until we
have sufficient woolen factories in this
country to supply the demand, then
it would be to have the wool imports
free. "This magnificent water power
at the Falls" said the Senator, point
ing down the dale towards the Red
wood, "could be utilized for woolen
mill. and how much better will the
Redwood county farmer feel when he
can sell his wheat and buy his wooden
goods manufactured at a mill at that
point.
"a triangular piece of land in the
northern part of this state, barren and
sterile, made people wonder what God
had ever left it unfinished for. But
Nature looked over it serenely and
saw iron and other metals. and re-
Gently touched it with her magic wand.
1t arose, clad in complete steel and
now furnishes labor for 10000 people.
Two hundred thousand people will be
along that range two years hence.
They must be fed and the Minnesota
farmer will have to do it. Isn't it bet
ter to uphold protection and encour-
age such industries, elevate our people
than to return to the woman and child
labor system of Belgium, England and
other countries. thank God that
there is no system here to degrade
!. the American wife, o.. brutalize the
American child. Every baby in this
land clasps the pinnacle of sovereign
ity in its hands, and is King. Fol
they are the future rulers and by oul
examples let us teach them to perpet-
uate the progress and industry of the
American people"
The meeting closed with three rous-
ing cheers for the Senator-cheers that
were heard all over the city. 1t is es.
timated that over 1000 people partici-
pated in the rally.

thing catarrhal in its nature, are cured by
the mild, soothing, cleansing and healing

They can't say any more. Probably every
medicine for Catarrh claims as much But
its one thing TO promise a cure-itis very

He was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, and arrived at
that resort on April "a, 1872. Walters,
his victim, belonged to an illustrious
family, the name occurring frequently
in the political history of Minnesota, a
brother having once occupied high
official position there.
During his long stay in the peniten-
tiary Whitewater was employed in the
laundry and became an expert. he de-
veloped wonderful fondness for reli-
gious literature, and read the Bible
from beginning to end thirty-five times.
His memory was remarkable, and the
promptness and accuracy with which
he would answer all manner of Scrip
tural questions might have excited the
envy of clergymen. He was proud of
his piety and of his war record, for he
had served in Kansas regiment during
the "unpleasantness" and had an honor
able discharge.
1t was his delight to be interviewed.
and strangers from all parts Of the coun-
try called at the warden's Office to see
and converse with this amiable savage.
who related his history with great dra-
matte effect and embellished it with APP
propriate and voluminous quotations
from the Scriptures. During legislative
sessions at the state capital Whitewater
spent good part Of his time as an ora
tor, for no representative felt that he
had done his duty by his constituents I'M
less he interviewed the Indian and car
ried the result home to them.
Whitewater was pardoned by Govern
or Thayer on July 4, 1880, and emerged
into the world of sunshine and freedom
ut the age Of forty-eight years, an edu-
Gated and renowned man. He at once
joined his people in the Indian Territory
md it is evident that they appreciated
his sterling worth from the first, for
within a month he was sent to Washing
ton as their envoy extraordinary to the
president. As his years increase his
honors also multiply, and if Indians ever
have a place in congress during White
waters life it is safe to predict that he
will be found among them.
He has a cheerful variety of philoso-
ply in his possession, and the recollec-
ton of his awful deed of twenty-one
years ago doesn't for a moment 'ruf1ie his
spirits sunny flood" He thinks the dead
past should be its own undertaken and
bury its dead. He is the bronze ideal
hero Of his people, and he sees the great
father at intervals, and he is happy.
