Wall street is hard up. Money Is
hard to obtain there and exorbitan1
rates of interest are paid. The reven
ues Of the great insurance companies
which were regularly MIXED out o
the country for the benefit or Wal
street operators, have been greatly
diminished. Scarcely any new bust
ness at all is done for them and thOus'

ed their policies. The bucket shop
no longer turns in its strippfngs, and

The thirty-twO page special edition
of the Argus Leader sent out last
Friday morning was a magnificent
evidence of the energy and ability of
the publishers to provide the people
with a modern daily Of any size.
1t was handsomely printed and gave
evidence of a high order of the "Art
Preservative.' The publishers have
every reason to feel proud of their
new Potter Perfecting Press. There
are larger presses made but none bet
ter. This new press and the thirty
two page paper reminds the writer
that our beautiful Dakota is growing
fast. Thirty-six years ago this month
the writer landed in Yankton for the
purpose of buying the old Union and
Dakotan' from Mcintyre & Foster,
having correspondent with those gen.
tlemen previously, The old Union
and Dakota office contained two
hand presses on which most of the
Territorial printing had been done.
Those dear old hand presses would
be a novelty now One went to Yer
million and the other to Canton in
1872. The writer bought a Gordon
jobber and a Cincinnati Power Press,
and the day for hand presses in fank-
ton had passed.
Now comes the Argus Leader with
its twenty-five ton Perfecting press
and a morning edition of thirty-two
pages. we do not believe any town in
the Uuited States twice as large as
Sioux Falls, can boast of such a press
or line up with the energy, ability
and courage shown by the gentlemen
behind the business and editorial
desks of that paper. The Argus Lead
