Let Fletcher Alone to Tell Us About the Country's Awful Condition Before 92. Sidney Owen found time Tuesday leave Minneapolis and his fight against jour Uncle Loren's hosts to come to Princeton and tell us that all to was not right with the country prior to 1892 He was greeted by a large audi ence at Jesmer's opera house and a genuine Populist meeting, without any Democratic side issues, was the result. Mr. Owtn is well known to most of the people of the northwest through his paper, the Farm, Stock and Home, to be an ultra freetrader and the first 40 minutes of his speech was devoted to tariff and free trade. In commenting on McKinley's advice to open the mills and never mind the mints, he insinu ated that the Republicans could open them if they would as they held the keys, the inference being that they had been closed for political purposes. He did not want to see Columbia raise her skirts and wade across the Atlan tic ocean to beg for bimetallism, but he did desire to see her stand proudly within the borders of her own country and tell the rest of the world to dance to her music or starve. The price of srlvei, he said, was fixed by the small surplus that the owners were obliged to sell and not by its value as money. According to the speaker's ideas there could be no 53-cent silver dollars but every dollar would be worth 100 cents. The dollar in use to-day would buy only a dollar's worth of interest, debt, or taxes but would buy two dollars' worth of other commodities as com pared with prices "before silver was demonetized." During the evening he made quotations from speeches of Blame, Ingalls, Thurston, Carlisle ai.d otheis, and used them to further his arguments His speech was not an oratorical effort but was more of a personal talk to the audience and t4rft*ugbout the evening irony and ridi cule played its part. After leaving the tariff he proceeded to lay the silver cause before the people in a more skill ful manner than any of the Democratic speakers before have done and while no conversions were apparent it is evi dent that he has braced up the waver ing ones Many in the audience greet ed every slap at the Republican party with applause and throughout the ad dress these outbursts were frequent. The Populists are well pleased with the meeting. A SUDDEN END. Hunters Gave the Marble Heart to Indians and Suffered for It. -fi'i^, Two Stillwater hunters, James Han sen and Will Alexander had a short hunt at Mille Lacs lake last week. They went Saturday night, intending to stay there a couple of weeks, and took along a tent and camp" equipage shouting kept up by the paid agents of and a sufficient supply of food. They camped about eighteen miles from gus Falls Journal. Aitkin, pitching their tent in a pic turesque spot on the shores of the lake, which fairly teemed with ducks. That evening they had company. A num ber of Indians called to welcome the young men to their hunting grounds """S3 i-Liv^u UJ uucu liuunug glUUUUS and incidentally to beg whiskey and not find their camp provisions and all There could be but little do^bt as to i ^.i who h^ t^ _..

C. Dickson and Joseph A. Ross, one of Chatfield's druggists. The ceremony was performed at the beautiful home of the bride's parents, on River street, Wednesday morning at 10:30, Rev. Geo. S. Parker officiating. Those at tending the ceremony from abroad, were: Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Petterson, of Princeton, and Miss Lucy Blanchard, of Minneapolis. Mrs. Petterson and Mr. Ross are brother and sister. The bridal party left on the 1:10 P. M., train for Princeton, where the happy couple will make a 10 day's visit with parents and relatives of the groom.Chatfleld News. 21/ll.lJ Z .f5_?!?

A BATTLE FOR PRINCIPLES When we consider that Mr. Lind, by reaso tn if elected, bfea compelled not only to test every suppositious vagary but also experiment with every visionary the ory, we can realize that his success would be a menace to our progress and prosperity. For these reasons we con sider it a duty to support D. Clough, as the welfare and prosperity of the business interests of the 'State espe cially demand it at this time, and for the reason that his election will mean no experimenting, no disturbance of conditions, no change in policy, no pandering to demagogues or no array ing of the masses against classeb 'Clough's election in our opinion, gives not only the best assurance of a con servative administration, bub is not a threat to the substantial interests of the State. The gubernatorial and State as well as congressional and na tional contest i & a battle for principles. Morns Sun A FEW FACTS The present total production of sil ver is over $200,000,000 a year, or four times greater than in 1870, and on ac count of improved mining machinery can be produced much cheaper than it could then. Many silver mines make good profits at the present prices, and and increased demand means an in creased supply rather than a higher price for silver. In 1878 silver was about $1 14 an ounce, and has steadily declined to 68 cents, while the govern ment has bought enough silver to make 600 million dollars, and has coined 420 million standard dollars. The only way to raise the price is for a few men like Rockefeller to get hold of the big mines and limit the output. And what good would that do us common folks?Bede's Budget. THE REAL CRIME. Senator Foraker told the truth the other day when he said it was the real crimethe repeal of the Republican ..protective tariff lawthat had brought on the present depression. The "crime of '73" had nothing to do with it. The claim that a mythical "crime" suddenly brought on hard times twenty years after it was committed is some thing that full grown men would laugh at were it not for the tremendous the silver mining millionaires.Fer- THEN AND NOW.

The object of free trade is to remove every obstacle from the path of those who choose to buy goods abroad. Two results from such policy are plain to the most superficial observer. First Employment for American labor will be lessened, for the products of foreign labor will take the place of American products, and American laborers will be deprived of just so many hours' work as these imported goods repre sent. SecondWe must send out of this country either gold or goods to pay for the things we buy. We can't' being at Snow's pavillion. VJT MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. YOLUME XX.

Felt Right Here. The lumber jacks are not as numer ous about the towns and villages in the pine forests of tho northwest as they used to be at this season of the year. The rebidents of these towns notice the difference, and so do the lodging house keeperb, the merchants saloon keep ers, sad to say, and other business men. It is no wonder that the Coime), of Sandstone, Minn is led to make this remark "The old settler wonders at the non-appearance of his old winter sojourner, the lumber jack. TJ&ually at this time of the year most north eastern Minnesota towns present a gala appearance with their gaudily attired lumbermen However, the lumbermen will be a most decidedly minus quan tity this year. The Canadian lumber has overstocked the Minnesota market and the lumber jack, in consequence, is thrown out of employment The lumber tariff did that much for us. It goes hard boys, when thefee things strike right at home Instead of the "lumber tariff" our contemporary un doubtedly meant the lack of a lumber tariff, for which we have to thank the Wilson tariff bill.Lumbetman.
