The First Thanksgiving.

The frst Thanksgiving day was ceIe-
brated in the autumn Of 1921.
An account Of the pioneer OF al These
feasts has been presented In letter by
Edward Winslow written in the same
year:
You shall understand that in this little time
that few Of us have been here we have built
seven dwelling houses and four for the use OF
the plantation, and have made preparations
for eleven others. We set the last spring some
twenty acres OF corn and sowed some six acres
Of barley and peas. Our corn did prove well,
God be praised, and our barley indifferent
good, but orr peas not worth harvesting.
Our harvest being got in, our governor sent
four men out fowling, SO that we might after
special manner rejoice together after we
had gathered the fruit Of our labors. They
four in one day killed as much fowl IS, with
little help, beside served the whole company
almost week, ct which time among other
recreations We exercised our arms, many Of
the Indians arriving among us, and among
the rest their greatest king, Massasoit, with
ninety men, whom for three days we enter
tanned and toasted. q
And, although 1t be not always so plentiful
Is 1t was 1t this time with US, yet by the
goodness Of God, We are SO far from want that
We often wish you partakers Of our plenty.
Thus Thanksgiving was born. It
continued to be celebrated, though
not with any regularity, for about sixty
years, after which it YVES annually ordered
by tbs general court, mot always in No

each state: and we pledge ourselves to
combat with unceaslng vigilance the ef-
forts of those who arc striving by usur-
patton to seize the powers of the people
OF the states for exploitation by the fed

We welcome the belated promise of

righteousness of tho Democratic position
on this question; but the people can
not safely entrust the execution OF this
Important work to a party which Is so
heeply obligated to the highly protected
interests as is the Republican party. we
call attention TO the significant fact that
the promised relief was postponed until
after the coming election-an election to
succeed in which the Republican party
must have that same support from the
henencIarles of the high protective tarin
as II has always heretofore received from
them: and to the further fact that during
tho years of uninterrupted power. no
action whatever has been taken by the
Republican congress- to correct the adj
mittedly existing tariff iniauities.
We favor Immediate revision of the
tarif by the reduction OF Import duties.
ARTICLES entering into competition with
trust controlled products should be placed
upon the free list; and material reduc-
tions should be made In the tariff upon
the necessarles OF life, especially upon
articles competing with. such American
manufactures MS are sold abroad more
lahehply than at home, and graduate re-
