Mr.. John Zatterstrom, of Spencer
Brook, sends US a lengthy commuica-
tion on the everlasting tariff question,
in answer to the few comments in the
UNION of the 3rd inst. on the potato
starch circular. We asserted that the
repeal of the duty on potato starch
would wreck every starch factory in
Minnesota and disastrously affect the
potato-growers of this section of Min
nesota, and as Mr.. Zatterstrom is a
pronounced free-trader, is regarded as
an oracle by his fellow-countrymen in
Isanti county and is also a stakeholder
and officer of the. st. Francis Potato
Starch factory, he was referred to
personally in the article. We do not
care TO enter into any general discus
sion Of the tariff question-such dis
cession would be stale, fiat and I'M
profitable at this time. We will pub
lish Mr.. Zatterstrom's letter, just as he
wrote it if he so desires, but we would
suggest that he confne himself to the
text-potato starch. His communities
ton is not to the point. Potato starch
is the subject under discussio this
case the tariff is a local issue. The
farmers of Isanti, Mile Laos, Anoka,
Chisago and Sherburne counties are
directly interested. Leave religion to
the theologians to discuss, leave the
tariff on steel rails, wool, ETC., to the
long-winded big guns in congress, and
talk to the point, potato starch some
thing in which you, the writer and the
farmers of the above mentioned cOun-
ties are personally interested.

The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1893-08-24

The UNION heartily approves of the
action of the county commissioners in
making an additional appropriation of
$500 for the Mile Laos road between
the old trading post and George
Locke's place, the money to be ex-
pended by Joseph VanCourt under the
direction and supervision of the com
missioners. The settlers in the north
end of the county will be treated fairly
by the commissioners. But to raise a
county road and bridge fund of five or
seven thousand dollars in any one year
is out of the question. -.-'
