press because the appropriations for two
years had reached the enormous total OF
81 ,02S, 1865. The criticism was that It was
"a billion dollar congress" Mr.. Reed
replied that this was "a billion dollar
country" But II was not until eight years
later that the appropriations exceeded that
figure for any two years, when, in the

wisconsin is getting into the fight to
capture the legislature. Oliver w. Stew
art recently conducted on this line the
greatest short campaign ever known in
the history of the party in that state.
1t was under the direction of State Chair
man Clayton and lasted eight days, in
which time Mr.. Stewart addressed
eighteen meetings in fifteen towns and
raised over $140 for the State Committee.
Prominent Republicans in some places
promised to aid the Prohibitionists to
elect our candidates to the Legislature
and men of all parties contributed to the
Fund. Chairman Clayton says this brief
campaign much exceeded all his ex-
pectations. He believes that Sin the pre-
sent divided condition of the Republican
party in Wisconsin we can elect some Of
our men to the Legislature" this year.

THE WASTE ILLUSTRATED.

In the fiscal year 1904, the last for
which government statistics are avail
able, the liquor traffic took from the
people almost billion and a half of
dollars, or, in exact figures, COM
puted from the tables of the Stats
tical Abstract, issued by the govern
ment, $1,460, ,139,203.
Illustrating the magnitude of this
amount, Jas. G. Crawford, late Prohi
bition candidate for Mayor Of New
York, said in a campaign speech:
'"The value of all the imported goods re-
ceived at all the ports of the United States
in years time, together with all the
duties paid upon the dutiable goods SO re-
ceived, is less than the drink bill by more
than $300,0O0,000. All of the gold and
silver money of the United States would
pay the drink bill for less than six months,
while the value of all the corn and the
wheat raised in the United States in the
year 1904 would barely pay the drink bill
for that year."

Minnesefa's Winning Team inauguratc Their
Second Sixfy-Day Campaign. Success
sa414 from The Start.

h6lglC0noQ Dy the experiences OL IuoA
recent record-breaking campaign In
central and northern Minnesota, Oliver
w. Stewart and Sec. Calderwood have
started upon their second sixty-day
tour. Their itinerary takes them to
the southern and southeastern coun-
ties, thence to the southwestern. Dates
yet to be made will include the ter
ritory between there and the H. &
D. Division Of the Milwaukee line
where the former trip ended. The
splendid Legislative campaign OF 1905
will thus have been well started in
every part Of our great state.
Not satisfied with the great success
es of their former tour, our campaign
ers will do a double stunt this time.
The plan embraces Prohibition Con-
ference every weekday. In the even
ing our speakers will separate and
hold Rallies in still two other towns,
thus reaching three places daily. On
Sundays also they will separate and
each speak forenoon, afternoon and
evening at three points, thus carrying
the Prohibition gospel to six towns
on their "rest-day,' making total of
twenty -four places per week. II our
men over the state are not inspired
anew by such leadership as that, if
they do not fairly leap to the aid of
Messrs. Stewart and Calderwood, they
are not as bright nor as loyal nor as
energetic as we believe them to be.
The Conferences will open at 10:30
A. M. and close at P. M, with an
intermission at noon for dinner. The
program will be most interesting and
eminently practical. 1t will include
addresses, papers, discussions and
music by local talent. Mr.. Stewart
will speak at 2 P. M. sharp and Mr..
Calderwood at 3:15. A. Basket Lunch
is scheduled for IL o'clock, the COM
mittee of Arrangements providing
coffee (free). An Executive Caucus
follows at 1:15, the public afternoon
session opening at 1885.
Mr.. Stewart opened at Hamline
University on the afternoon of Jan.
5th. There was keen appreciation
of his well-made points ALTHOUGH
almost wholly a student audience, $57
were pledged for the work. At an ex-
cellent meeting at Lake st. M. e.
church, Minneapolis, that evening $6S
were given. Three meetings were held
on Saturday, at Long Lake, Maple
Plain and Hopkins, producing $25,
$50 and $25 respectively. Sunday Mr..
Stewart spoke three times in Mime
apolis. They were most interesting
meetings. The additions to the Fund
were $91 at Dania hall, $105 at Trinity
M. E. church and a cash collection of
$16 at the First M. e. church.
The Stewart Calderwood Conferen-
ces as Waseca and Owatonna pro-
duced $25 and $89. We learn of
fine Conference at Faribault but have
not received particulars as we go to-
press. Mr.. Stewart spoke at James
vile, Claremont and Blooming Prairie.
The pledges and cash footed up $29,
$29 and $40. Mr.. Calderwood spoke at
Alma City and Clinton Falls, which
points gave 5000 and $18.
