The illustrious men who rescued our
country from British protectionists were,
what may be termed, Stree traders" Those
men who fought for freedom. with the scat
fold before them if they failed, are claimed
as high protectionists.
Benjamin Franklin "wished trade as free
between nation and nation as it il between
the several counties Of England. Those
%counties do not ruin one another by trade;
neither would the nations" In the Decla-
ration of Independence George the Third,
with his Tory and protection allies, were
charged "for cutting off our trade with all
parts Of the world" Is not this what pro-
tectionists are doing Notwithstanding the
farmers market for his produce? George
Washington, in a letter written in 1885 to
Lafayette, INDUCED the idea, ''that the
period is not very remote when tie benefits.
Of n free and liberal m will succeed
the deyastations and horrors of war" Alex
andor Hamilton not only recommended that
cotton, sa1tpetre and raw silk be made free,
but in addition bounties should be offered
for the import Of woods Of the most desirable
variety, as IN aid to the WOODEN industries
Of this country. Thomas Jefferson, in the
first plank Of the new party which was to
be the prevailing one for the next fifty
years, inserted as a foundation plank t'free
commerce with all nations.'
James Madison, leader Of tho first con-
gress, and afterwards president, thus defined
his position: ri own myself 9 friend to .

The fusion problem has been solved,
and in a manner that leaves but little
doubt as to the final outcome. The
ticket placed in the field by the dem
cratic state convention is an excep-
,ionally strong one, and merits the
hearty support of democrats aud in.
dependents alike. It il essentially a
pseple's ticket-for the people, and

land electoral ticket are in them

North Dakota's three votes will be
found in the Cleveland ard Stevenson
column. James F. O'Rrien of Devils
Lake needs no introduction to our
people. His nomination meets the
approval Of every democrat in the
state, and is the forerunner of a
vigorous and brilliant campaign that
will send him to the nations capital
with a plurality both substantial and
gratifying. The sentiment Of the
rank and file Of the democratic party
has been fully carried cut by the en-.
.dorsement of the independent state
ticket, and a change in the admins.
tration Of state affairs is no longe,
open to conjecture. The ticket made
up Of fice-holders is already whipped

The Market Record thus sums up
the wheat situation in Minnesota and
the two Dakotas: 'sThe crop is
about 100, 900, 600 bushels, or CO.,
DOC, 600 bushels less than last year.
The quality is only fair, much of the
new wheat being Of low grade. The
market is depressed on account of
liberal receipts and the absence Of
any pronounced speculation. Better
prices are universally looked for later
in the season, but il probably will be
the wiser if every farmer uses his own
IS to when to sell his
wheat.

Resolutions adopted by the state
convention:

Upon the issue OF tariff the independent
party and the democratic party are one in
interest, one in principal and should be one
in work. The issue Of this campaign comes
North Dakota. They bar all the burdens of
the republican tariff and share in none OF Its
profits. It is powerless to enhance the price
of wheat they have to sell and increases tho
price of all they have to buy. 1t sends them
to the free trade mark cts Of the world with
their grain, and at the same time places
IN the hands Of their com p~etitors in Asia,
Australia and South America agricultural
implements at 80 per cent. less than they are
furnished to them by the American manu-
facturers whom it protects.
; We rejoice that the democratic party III
this great campaign have for their leader a
man who writes its principles in "the living
characters and enobles them by heroic &C
tion."-Grover Cleveland.

plored her husbands nomination for the
presidency. She had followed General
Taylor through all his wars, sharing his
tent and his privations, and during the
remainder of her life she wanted him to
herself. His nomination she denounced
as ga plot to deprive me of his society;
to shorten his life by unnecessary care
and responsibility" Her words proved
prophetic, for he sacrificed his life in the
dedication of the Washington monu-
ment. The weather was extremely hot,
and the president drank large quantities
Of ice water and partook freely of fruit,
bringing on the fatal illness. On his
death Mrs. Taylor became insensible,
and the agOniZed cries of the family
were heard out on Pennsylvania avenue.
Mrs. Taylor's heart was broken, and
she survived her husband only two
years. She never mentioned the White
House except in its relation to his death.
After no became president General Tay-
lor said his wife had prayed every day
for two months that Henry Clay might
be elected instead of himself.
In May, 1861, Colonel Ellsworth, ono
of the first victims of tho war, was bur-
led from the East room, the simple but
impressive military service doing more
than any battle to fire the northern
heart.
Willie Lincoln, second son of the pres
ident, died i'll the White House in 1862.
Mr.. Lincoln said this blow was the sad.
dest of his life; the most difficult TO
bear. The guests room, in which he
died, Mrs. Lincoln never entered again.
President Lincoln did not die in the
White House, but his body lay in state
in the East room, and there women scat
tered flowers upon his breast, rugged
soldiers bent down to kiss his face, ana
great crowds of people-rich and poor,
black and white-came to weep.
Mrs. Grants father, Frederick Dent,
lied i'll the White House i'll 1878. To
the same room in which Mrs. Harrison
died General Carried was tenderly car
ried, and there he lay and suffered for
several weeks. During the Arthur adj
ministration, and while a New Years
reception was being held at the White
House, Elisha Allen, minister from Ha-
waii, fell fatally stricken within few
feet of the president and his gay party,
thus bringing the reception to n sudden
end.
These are the notable tragedies of the
White House. How many other TRACE
dies OF life and death, death warrants
signed and pardons refused, hearts
broken and lives ruined, have occurred
