The Camp at Big Stone Lake
n Pleasant Reunion

The general sentiment of the
old soldiers who attended the
recent state encampment was
that it was one of the most enjoy
able ever held. The weather
was excellent, and with the
natural beauties of the lake and
grove TO add to the enjoyment
of the occasion the encampment
was in every way a success.
Much credit is dne to Comrade
Lowthian, who had the matter in
charge, for his untiring efforts
to make the encampment an
theold veterans,
and in this work he was ably
seconded by Comrades Rogers
and Fitch of Humphrey post.
Major Picker, who was selected
to conduct the camptires, was at
his best, and created an enthu-
siasm that was contagious. On
Wednesday evening he had a list
of fifty or seventy.five generals
of the civil war and taking each
in turn he asked those in the
audience who had served under
him to stand up and tell when
and where. This method drew
out a very interesting program.
Almost every general mentioned
had some representative present.
Then "the order of the meeting
was changed and comrades relat-
ed where they were and what
they were doing when they heard
the news of Lincoln's assassina-
ton. The various places ranged
from Sin Florida fighting guer-
illas," to Texas and Minnesota.
One member present, DR.. Chap
man of the fifth division, was in
Ford's theatre, within ten feet
of Lincoln when he was shot.

There is little doubt but what
the tariff will be the main issue
in the coming campaign. 1t is
the old standby, the ever remain
Indifference when allothers have
been adjusted. The average
citizen of this country has heard
more about the tariff than any
other topic which has engrossed
the public mind and yet it is sore
to say that he knows less about
this same subject than any
other. Bombastic demagogues
of both parties have lied SO much
concerning the tariff, and their
lies have been SO faithfully ster-
eotyped, printed and circulated
from ocean to ocean and from
border to gulf that it is with
difficulty one discerns the truth.
Yet above the mass of contradict
ing statements and statistics the
one fact stands out prominent
and unchallenged that this coun-
try has enjoyed it's most abund-
ant prosperity when protective
duties have been the most rigor-
ously maintained and that any
actual or proposed "tinkering''
with existing tariff rates, with a
view to abolish or lower the same,
has invariable brought about
financial depression with it's ever
accompanying and consequent
hardships for the laboring class.
The easiest way to bring about a
panic is to remove the foundation
Of our prosperity-protection
Reciprocity advocates, no mat
ter what political party appella-
ton they lay claim to, are, in the
main, merely free-tradcrs dis

Epill, though coated with recip-
rocity, Will, if taken, have the
same bad effect as if such coating
were not there. This reciprocity
covering which the free-trade
theory has assumed makes an
excellent showing, but we should
not forget the fact that it merely
hides a skeleton.-Minneota

Prices Thirly-Fiye Years Ago

Hudson Tribune: Dave Thorpe
has in his possession the state
ment of a bill of goods purchased
by him from Felt & Bray of
Sioux City, in December, 1868.
1t is quite a curiosity. In looking
it over we see such items as this:
800 pounds of flour at $34; 20
pounds nails, 50; IL pounds brown
sugar at 50; 5 gallons kerosene
at SIS cents, 1915; 8 pounds to-
bacco, $3.50; 2 lamp chimneys,
IS cents, etc. Dave went to
Sioux City to get the goods.
His expenses going down were
$21.95, and returning $3.50.
Wonder what our citizens would
think should they have to pay
these prices now and pay out that
amount in securing the goods?

Alderman Martens at the last
meeting of the city council. made
strong objection to the granting
of license to the SALOONS unless
the screens and back rooms were
doneaway with. The law is very
distinct in this matter, and the
saloon keepers should be made
to comply with it. One of the
objections constantly urged
against prohibition is that the
law is not enforced. The present
license law is a most reasonable
measure and its strict enforce
ment will not be a hardship to
the saloons, but it is a protection
which the public has q right to
demand.
