WELCOME

Worthing extends most cordial
welcome to the boys in blue, and all
their friends; every good citizen of
the town will do all in his power to
make the visitors enjoy the occasion,
and to carry away with them pleas
ant recollections of Worthirgton and
it's people.
The individual who cannot take
a deep interest in the old soldiers
may be counted by the census enum-
orator but the ADVANCE feels sure
that no one else cares to record his
name or note the fact that he even
lives. Worthington is noted for its
hospitality and the generous manner
in which it entertains all visitors, and
especially the G.. A. R. boys. The
men who went forth in 81, go, '63
and "a, under Lincoln call; the
men who followed Logan or went
with Sheridan, or marched with Sher-
man, or fought with Grant wrought
mighty work for this nation and
have earned, and are entitled to the
soft places in life. The ADVANCE
hopes they will all receive the kind
est consideration, which is due them,
To presume the unions 100000
lives were lost, nearly 100000 more
were engaged in active service, yet
the splendid inheritance given the
seventy million people of this nation
cannot be estimated in cold figures.
The Grand Army teaches fraternity,
loyalty and charity, and these annual
gatherings where the old comrades
stand shoulder to shoulder in their
fraternal order inculcates in the
minds of the young feeling of deep
significance. Long may the grand
order live! May the boys now gath
cred at Worthington enjoy to the
fullest their short respite from their
usual avocations. A hearty welcome
to the boys in blue.

Senator Nelson on Currency.
That portion of the address of Sen
ator Nelson, on Wednesday evening,
to the assembled Minnesota delegates
to the national Republican clubs con-
vention, relating to the credit cur
rency of the American people deserves
to be reread and pondered over by
every citizen with the greatest care.
His accurate showing Of what COM
paratively small figure coin and paper
money actually cut in the enormous
daily commercial! and financial trans
actions, will impress every one with
the fact that the currency problem is
much simpler than very many i'm

about 8 per cent of the daily business
of the country is conducted with
paper money, and only about l per

Camp Fire Last Night q Grand
Success. " .tIE

The thirteenth annual encampment
of the Southwestern Minnesota Vet
erans' Association was opened at this
place yesterday under most auspic-
ious circumstances. The weather
was all that could be desired. Never
did the sun shine more brightly nor
nature look more beautiful than on
the opening day of this glorious re-
union of the defenders of our country.
All Worthington was in holiday at
tire. Nature and man seemed to vie
with one another in making this the
most successful meeting the associa-
ton has yet held. The morning
trains brought hundreds of visitors
from all the surrounding country,
who were escorted to the camp
grounds by the reception committee,
assisted by the Worthington band
and Captain Burnell's girls brigade.
In the afternoon large delegations ar
rived from the north. It is estimated
that there are fully 300 visiting old
soldiers presnt and an equal mum Der
of other visitors.
The ADVANCE greets all with a
hearty "good morning." and wishes
a happy day to all.

Wortllington Wins.

The Spafford and Worthington:
ball teams played an interesting
game of ball yesterday afternoon.
The locals won the game by score,
of II to 10. The home team played
good ball, but the errors they: made
were costly ones and gave the Spaf-
ford team a number of runs. Post
and Wright. were at their best in the
box and were puzzle to the visitors.
The game was called at the end Of
the eighth inning, Spa ford refusing.
to finish the game. In the last half
of the fifth Henry Rushon was struck
on the mask with the ball. the force
of which broke the mask, and piece
of steel cut a deep cash in his face
just below the eye. He had the
wound dressed and resumed playing

Commander Town acted in the
capacity of master Of ceremonies,
and he did his duties we'll, never
failing, when an opportunity pres
ented itself, to tell a good story on
the "big guns The camp fire
opened with an impressive prayer
by Rev. E. G. Clemans, of Minnea-
polls. After which the large aud
fence joined the male quartette in
singing the "Star Spangled Ban

Mayor Smallwood was intro
duced and said that in the name
Of Worthington he welcomed the
boys in blue most heartily, and
trusted that when they returned to-
their home nothing but kind
thoughts of Worthington and her
people will be entertained by
them.
On behalf of Stoddard Post Rev.
McCune welcomed the old soldiers.
He said: Comrades OF the Grand Army
of the Republic, Worthington well
comes you most heartily to enter its
most hospitable gates and enjoy the
fellowship of it's citizens. We are al
ways glad to receive reputable stan
gers, on whatever errand they may
come. But to the old soldiers who
come to reKindie here the bright camp
fires around which they gather to talk
over the deeds and experiences of their
army life, our people have welcome
warmer and more intense than for any
others. We owe them debt we owe
to no other visitors-a debt Of graft
tude. When the comrades of Stod.
dard Post have attended the reunions
held in past years in other towns of
southwest Minnesota you then paid US.
abundant honor. Your welcome was
full of a generous meaning. We could
not misinterpet the grasp OF the hand,
the glad glow Of friendship on your
faces, and the kindly provision made
for our comfort. You gave the well.
come which one true soldier knows
how to give to another. \ So
having received your welcome at other
reunions, which occasions we have
learned to love more and more as the
years roll by, we would, if it were pos
sible to do 80, greet you now with a
welcome larger than those extended to
US. < The more enjoy
ment you get out of this encampment
the happier your Worthington COM
rades will feel. Our wish and our eff
fort shall be to make you happy while
you are here, and we will do all we can
to make this occasion a pleasant men,.
DRY to you the rest of your days. 4

is JUST fed by the clearing house and
the official bank returns. Though
only 8 per cent of our daily transac-
tons are in paper currency it is in the
nature of things that the great labor
ing classes are most affected by its
condition. Bank paper and national
currency, since 1875 have been kept
at par with gold and silver through
all the fluctuations and vicissitudes
through which silver itself has passed,
but we daily realize that our present
paper currency lacks that flexibility
in volume that varying industrial and
commercial necessities require. It is
true, therefore, as Senator Nelson
stated, that our present system of
furnishing the necessary amount of
paper currency must be radically re-
formed, and that we must Eresort to
an improved banking system in order
to realize that result. The people
have been so thoroughly satisfied
with that part of a banking system
that has given us paper currency
uniform in value throughout the
union that the public will not be con-
tent with any new plan that does not
involve thorough and effective
supervision of the national govern
ment hereafter as we'll as heretofore
No mere state bank syttem
resting wholly and exclusively upon
state supervision as was proposed in
the Democratic platform of 1892, by
a simple repeal Of the 10 per cent tax,
will satisfy the people,o receive their
approval. The United States bonds
upon which the national bank cur
rency now rests, are rapidly matur-
ing, and will, ina comparatively short
time, wholly disappear as factors in
solving the problem of a sound and
satisfactory paper currency adequate
to the business of the sountry. Some
equally perfect and sound basis must
be found upon which such a system
can rest. Experience elsewhere has
shown what that may and. can be,
but, however adequate the security
may be in appearance, the breadth of
the scope of such paper money can
only be coterminous with the Union
itself, by providing for the ultimate
supervision of the national govern
ment in such a way as will inspire
unlimited confidence. The question
of providing a sound and adequate
paper currency is of greatly more i'm
portance to the masses of the people
now than the masses of the people
now than that of silver. We have
now many millions of dollars of
coined silver on hand, while the lack
of fexibility in the volume of our pa
per is more embarrassing than any
other problem connected with the
general fnances.-St. Paul Dispatch.

An inquiry into tho cause or causes of

for the decrease is that men are en-

lions as the manufacture of hats, caps,
