agreed on BY the special committees tc
the mass meeting on the 3rd ins !,
with The recommendation that The
same be adopted. After fully consid-
ering the report, the mass meeting, at
an adjourned session held on the z b
inst agreed to the report with certain
Amendments tie eto. We herewith
nc ose copy of the amendments. U0-
der these instructions we will ask you
to agree on later date for the nomi-
nation of county officers, member Of
the legislature and the election of a
new committee. One Of us suggested
to your committee, when in confer
ence, that it would perhaps be better
TO have the nomination of county Off
GERS on separate and later date.
The reasons why this primary should
be postponed are very strong. 1t is
generally conct ded, we believe, that
there will be hard contest at ibis
primary, and there should be the fLIl-
est possible expression from the white
voters. 1t is practically imposaible
for the citizens to pay their taxes and
register by the h of May, the day
when the registration books close an :
der the terms Of the proposed agree
ment. There are now about 200 white
male citizens, otherwise qualified to
vote, who made tax returns for 1899,
but who have not yet paid; quite a
number, abou, 300, in addition to these,
failed to make returns for said year.
AS is well known, in view of the stress
Of the times, there has always been
shown as mich Ieniency as possible in
the time of the collection of taxes.
You are well aware that there has
been very general protest at the ac-
tion Of the state committee in naming
SO early date for The said primary in
view of their prescribing registration.

do, and they will be on hand election day.

working at conservative increase of
wages. There are some labor troubles. it
is true. but what are they about! Four
years ago the trouble was that people
We're desperately looking for employment.

THE SONG oFTHE IRON BRIGADE.

Air, Baby Mine
From the western slopes and valleys
Came the Iron Brigade;
In Il dark. resistess torrent
Swept the Iron Brigade:
Morrow, Cutler. Bragg and King.
What Il thrill their names will bring.
And the flag above their columns
Waving like an Angels wing.
While the men who never faitered marched
before.
BY South Mountain it was christened
AS the Iron Brigade;
Where the sword of Gibbon glistened
With the Iron Brigade;
And in many bloody fray
Their battaions saved the day.
Where the shattered forces llsteneu
For the bugles' reveille,
Mid the thunder of the cannon fumplins
roar.
At Antietam and at Gainesville
Fought the Iron Brigade;
In Cold Harbor'S storm or DuiletS
Was the Iron Brigade:
And one GettySourg-S red field
To the shock of battle steeled.
Was the Signel of their yalor
In the blood of hundreds sealed.
Dying steadfast by the banner which they
bore.
we have met to tell the stsry
OF the Iron Brigade:
OF the never fading glory
OF the Iron Brigade:
Though the~yearS are flying fast,
And the clouds of war have passed,
Fill the locks of Time are hoary
Will it's peerless record last,
In the annals of it's country. evermare.

call the crime Of '73" I boarded with
old man Skinner all winter. He did
sell his wheat for dollar and a half
and his wool for forty 1--we cents In
1872. But I will mention some facts
which he forgot to tell you, and you
may jog bis memory little.
I studied algebra that winter by the
light Of homemade tallow dip be-
cause Skinner could not afford to buy
oil. Oil was forty cents gallon. Now,
In these days when the Standard Oil
Co. is crushing the life out Of Skinner
he takes his oil can to the grocery and
buys gallon for twelve cents.
We used roasted wheat and burnt
molasses In place Of coffee that winter
because coffee was forty-f1ve and fifty
cents a pound. Now, the Unsuitable
coffee trust makes Skinner pay thirteen
cents pound for good roasted Lion.
We used homemade sorghum In
stead of sugar. Skinner bought just
six pounds of dirty-looking brown
sugar that winter and he paid dollar
for the six pounds. Now, In these aw-
full times, when the. sugar trust Is
grinding the farmers under it's iron
heel, Skinner gets sixteen pounds OF
nice granulated sugar for dollar.
Mrs. Skinner had one calico dress
which she saved for Sundays. On week
days she wore a linsey dress woven
by her own hands. Calico was twenty
two cents a yard and people spoke Of
it's being cheap at that. Now, you can
get good calico at five to six cents.
The SINNERS rode to town in big
farm-wagon in those days. | remem-
Der hearing Skinner ask the price OF a
buggy and. when he was told that 1t
was a hundred and forty dollars, he
sighed and said that he could not af-
ford to buy. Two years ago he bought
two new buggies, one for himself and
Mrs. Skinner and one for the girls,
Melinda and Maria. He got the two
for a hundred and ten dollars, fifty five
dollars apiece.
When | got through teaching that
school | bought me new suit OF
clothes. 1t was ready-made suit OF
ra Their ordinary goods and cost me TWEEN
ty-eight dollars. This summer bought
a better suit from Dowd & Beckley for
twelve dollars and fifty cents.
! In those days Skinner sold pound
Of wool for forty-fye cents. With the
money he could buy less than three
| pounds of sugar, Or a little more than a
gallon Of oil. or one pound of coffee, or
two yards Of calico. This year he sold
his wool for twenty-seyen cents a
pound With the money he can buy
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1900-09-05

four and half pounds Of sugar, or two
and fourth gallons of oil, or two and
q fourth pounds Of coffee, or five yards
of calico.
Now it seems to me as plain as day
light that the best measure of re-
enumeration for labor or farming prod
| ucts is the amount Of food or clothing
that you can get for them. I am best
paid for the labOrs of a day when [ can
buy the most with the wages for the
day.
Judged by this standard, never were
the workingmen. and especially the
farmers of America so prosperous as
during McKinley's administration.
There has been plenty of work for ev.
erybody who wants to work Our folks
have just been getting their church
painted. They put me ON the commit
! tee to attend to the matter, and the
hardest thing / had to do was to find
painter. Every painter to whom l
went had work engaged ahead for the
season. At last | found a boy who
knew a little about painting and gave
| him the job, and he did very well. Not
| only has there been plenty Of work. but
| wages have been good and would buy
| far more of the necessities and com
forts of life than the wages Of the Ia
| borer in the days Of deprecated cur
rency after the civil war
Meanwhile. everybody knows that
this prosperity has come about under
! the Dingley tariff, under q gold stand
ard, and under Republican admins
| tration. They also know that the Dem
ocratic platform dictated by Mr.. Bryan
! denounces the Dingley tariff and the
gold standard.
My boy, it is simply astounding to me
| that any workingman, or farmer, OF
| business iuan should think seriously Of
| voting the Democratic ticket this year.
| Leaving out the requirements of pat.
riotis1n. self-interest ought to make
every man Republican this year. A
supposition that the nation will vote tC
| tear down our protective system and
precipitate a financial revolution is ar
insult to the intelligence of the Ameri
| can people. YOUR FATHER.

You say that you told Mr. Skinner

Thought His Hour Had Come.

An old man in Georgia named Jack
Baldwin, having lost bis hat in an old
dry we'll one day, hitched rope to a
stump and let himself down. says the At
lanta Journal. A wicked wag named
Neal came along just then, and, quietly
detach;ng a bell from Baldwin's old
blind horse, approached the we'll, bell in
hand, and began to ting-a-ling.
Jack thought the horse was coming.
and said: ''Hang the old blind horse;
he's coming this way, sure, and he amt
got no more sense than to fall in on me
whoa Ball.'
The sound came closer.
"Great Jerusalem! The old blind fool
will be right on top of me in mint
whoa, Ball-whoa, Ball!''
Neal kicked a little dirt on Jacks head
and Jack began to pray:
ooh, Lord, have mercy On-whoa, Ball
Ia poor sinner; I'm gone now-whoa,
Ball-Our Father, who are in-whoa,
Ball-hallowed be thy-gee, Ball! gee!
what'l I do?-name Now 1 lay me
down to siege, Ball! lust then in fell
more dirt.] Oh, Lord, if you ever in
tend to do anything for me-back, Ball!
whoa.-Thy kingdom come-gee. Ball!
Oh, Lord, you know I was baptized in
Smiths milldam-whoa, Ball! no! up!
murder. whoar'
Neal could hold in no longer, and
shouted laugh which might have been
heard two miles, which was about as
far as Jack chased him when he got out.
