P^d"* 'vpi* IT 1J PRINCETON UNION. PUBLISHED EVERY TIElRIk/fS, $1.50 2ex Tear. A. A. CASWELL, EDITOR. ,G. I. STAPLES, BUSINESS MAHAQEB. Oice: FirstSt, East of CourtHonse. PRINCETON, MINN., SEPT. 10,1896. HE G. A. R. men at the encamp ment were very nearly 16 to 1 men. That is 16 for McKinley to 1 for Bryan. HOME industry well patronized means home prosperity. Let the im portations of foreign labor products cease. TOWNE will speak at the opera house to-morrow night. He will find the conditions slightly changed since his last visit. KENTUCKY will probably go for Mc Kinley. If the old bourbon State once mounts the elephant it will be found there for eternity. FOUR out of every five voters in Ver mont voted for Republican principles. This will be about the ratio of the flood in Minnesota this fall. MONDAY was Labor Day and the sentiment of an ovei whelming major ity of the laborers was "open the mills and never mind the mints." MCKINLEY'S letter of acceptance was chai acteristic of the man and gave a hint of what his State papers will be when he rules this land of ours. SENATOR HILL, of New York, still smiles but neither the gold or silver Democrats can ascertain which of the two tickets he proposes to support. HE Boltocrats have nominated Palmer, of Illinois, and the music of the ghost dancers in the Democratic wigwam swells out with increasing volume. HE St Paul Globe thinks that the fact that Bryan's voice is getting husky is a natural consequence. His speeches have contained more husk than grain. Doc AMES says that the people will probably appreciate a candidate for governor who is not a Republican and therefore voluntarily throws himself into the breach. SCHWEINFURTH'S "heaven" will soon be filled with married people, the "messiah" and several of his assist ants taking wives in accordance with the common law. TOM CARTER, of Montana, will re main loyal to the Republican ticket and has written a letter setting forth his position. A split in Montana is not unlikely, however. "As good as Mille Lacs county's" was a favorite comparison at the State fair. Mille Laos county has twice proven itself to be the banner agricul tural county of Minnesota. JOHN LIND says he knows the peo ple will ha\ a good attorney general. Of course they will. Childs has given excellent satisfaction and his nomina tion w*as equal to an election. this fall. The free silver cappers have howled themselves hoarse only to find their candidate on the run. No polit ical hypocrite can win this fall. of the Indianapolis gold Democrats convention, are almost sure to carry several southern States. This makes McKinley's election a certainty. HENNEPIN county's real estate valu- known in American politics." Itre- ation shows a shrinkage as great as quires no seer to foretell the approach that of Ramsey and St. Louis. OUR Minnesota State fair was a greater success this year than ever before, thanks to the activity of the officers. A balance of $10,000 will be found on the right side of the ledger. WILLIAM MCKINLEY: I do n'ot know that we can decrease the number of your competitors, but with the adoption of a true American protective policy we can set our best customers to work. OUR 8wn Sixth district is something of an agricultural district. Four of the eight counties composing it were awarded prizes at the Stat? fair with Mille Lacs heading the list with first place. THERE is one issue which Towne cannot afford to lose sight of although he is not at all anxious to talk about it and that is the tariff. He cannot accuse the Republican party of chang- ^ing front on that issue. Protection /tt-cannot be cried down either. {ft, S: BEDts's Budget: When Lieut-Gov. Frank A. Day said anyone who couldn't vote for Bryan ought to be shot before breakfast, he put it a little bit strong. What he meant to say was that he ought to be half shot, Jj?-^ says the Cleveland Plaindealer, a Bryan supporter, "will either be a revolution in politics or the greatest fizzle ever of the fizzle. EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON does not speak unless he has something to s*ay and when he speaks everyone listens eagerly. There is a great difference between Harrison and the bubble blowers who have challenged him to engage in joint debates. BRYAN is in a tight box. Watson has claimed for weeks that if the pres idential nominee of the People's party was too good to accept the nomination he was too good to receive the Popu list votes. Bryan must either "fish or cut bait" soon and whichever he chooses to do he will lose hundreds of votes. THERE is a great deal of truth in the statement that "Too many political platforms built in this country are tradeable, purchaseable, interchange able, confusible, delusiveable, move able, transferable, expansible, con tractible and collapsible, warranted to endure any climate and resist all kinds of weather." MINNEAPOLIS and St. Paul have been entertaining the patriotic orders of America and "Old Glory" was very much in evidence. No section of the country has ever seen larger gather ings of the same nature and every vis itor found a hospitable reception. The fame of the Twin Cities as entertainers is firmly established. BRO. BLACKMER, of the Freeborn County Times, has the right idea of the condition of the country and expresses it thusly "A vote for Bryan is a vote for free trade, a 53-cent dollar and free soup for the pauper laborer. A vote for McKinley means good bread and butter and a chance to earn it, and a 100-cent dollar with which to pay forhas it." HE Boy Orator of the Platte will be obliged to polish his speech should he ever meet JudgeVickers, of Illinois. In a recent speech he said the free and unlimited coinage of silver "would consign the nation to a voyage over the dark and fathomless sea of uncer tainty, without a compass or chart, in a boat of stone, with sails of lead, God's wrath for a breeze, and perdi tion for a port." ST. PA UL Dispatch: Candidate Lind says that it is not the responsibility of the campaign that he dreads, but of administration. He need not worry over that. David M. Clough has been tried in that respect, and for the next two years he will again have the re sponsibility of the administration, while Mr. Lind will have time to at tend to the business of the Millers' association. AMERICAN ECONOMIST: One fact must not be lost sight of in this cam paign. The party that nominated Bryan at Chicago is the same party Gov. CLOUGH will be an easy winner which is responsible for the Wilson Gorman bill and for all the distress and disaster which have grown out of that tariff reform legislation. It is the party of free trade still and, if success ful at the next election, it will go on PALMER and Buckner, the nominees ith its work of industry destroying tariff reform. O NE of Major McKinley's talks to farmers brings out this sentiment which all should read: "You cannot help the farmer by more coinage of silver he can be helped only by more consumers of his products. You can not help him by free trade, but, as I have shown, he can be hurt, and seri ously hurt, by the introduction of com peting products into this country. Better a thousand times enlarge the markets for American products than enlarge the mints for the silver product of the world." GLENCOE'S lynching, while it meted out a deserved fate to the victims, has occasioned deep regret in every part of Minnesota. Had the lynching oc eurred when the murder was fresh and the excitement was intense it would have been serious enough, but to take two defenseless men from a jail, one already convicted and the other in a fair way to be, is a stain on the honor of this fair State which nothing can remove. The authorities should do their utmost*to secure the punishment of the members of the mob. -mtit&ti. & PLEASE ARISE. ^TFree trade promised, four years ago, dollar wTieat and fifty cent wool. Will "TH IS campaign for bimetallism," the farmer who realized these prom sea7 please stand up for identification? r-Canton (O.) Repository. ,M f-r ANOTHER OPEN SEASON. The threshing machine boiler is a close second to the festive hobo with his knife and coupling pin in carrying destruction to the harvest hands in this section of the country. The season for seizing the loaded shot gun by the muzzle'and pulling it out of the buggy has just set in. Thank heaven, how ever, the season is nearly past for the fool who rocks the boat.Crookston Times. A SIGNIFICANT STRAW. Vermont gave this week a majority of 39,000 to the Republican ticket, a gain of bout thirty per cent over the best previous record. The result is viewed with great satisfaction by Re publican managers as a significant po litical "straw.''Minneapolis Pi ogress. A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. When you see one man chasing all over the country to get crowds to talk to and then see another who stays at home and has crowds come fi om all over the country to hear him talk you can bet that the man that stays at home has got something to say that is worth hearing and profiting by. Hutchinson Independent. A CHANGED MAN. Who, among all the 2,800 Republi cans of Wright county two years ago voted for Congressman Towne would have then voted for him if he had said in his speeches, "If I am elected to represent this district in congress and the choice of a president is not made by the people and it goes to congress I shall cast my vote for a free trader and a Democrat." Hardly one. Yet this is the position in which we firm it to day. If McKinley, the great apostle of protection, sound money and a con servative government, fails of election by the electoral vote, and neither side a majority, Congressman Towne, elected by 10,000 plurality will cast his vote for Bryan, the most noted free trader in the country to-day, thus mis representing the constituency which elected him.Wright Co. Times. WHICH WILL WAG? After the Populists have notified Bryan and Watson that they are re spectively the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the party, will it not be appropriate for Old Mr. Sewall and Young Mr. Watson to draw cuts or match pennies to decide which shall be the tail of the free silver kite. Moorhead Independent. LIND'S HYPOCRISY. There was something pathetic in the way old time Democrats followed John Lind about the Merchants hotel and into executive sessions on August 18, at a meeting of the Democratic State committee which has charge of his campaign. Lind is a good enough fel low, and so is McKinley, and one is just as much of a Democrat as the other.Bedels Budget. TWO IDEAS. Bryan would deprive the American workingman of a chance to labor by plugging our markets with cheap for eign goods. But that great Republi can leader, Thomas B. Reed, believes in a different policy. He says: "Give us the opportunity to labor, and the whole world of human life will burst into tree and flower. To the 75,000,000 people who make up the great repub lic the opportunity to labor means more than to all the world besides." TIME FOR AN EXCEPTION. Now that John Lind is a Democratic candidate for governor, he will hardty include himself among the list of mur derers and horse thieves, though eight years ago he said all sucb criminals were Democrats.Duluth News-Tribune. PROTECTION FIRST. Four years ago we were prosperous beyond anything that we had ever known, even in this nation of prosper- ity.* The monetary standard was the same then as now, but our tariff policy was different. Then we bad protec tion, now w*e have tariff reform as ex emplified by the hodge-podge Wilson Gorman bill,j ^Whether or not our financial system can be improved, it is plain that our first requisite is a re turn to the protective tariff policy, the policy which gave us prosperity in the past. That comes first, as Major Mc Kinley said in his letter of accept ance.American JScmwrnist. mm* y Information that informs.
