incorporated this ment in its platform on the 4th We are in favor of the principle of protection as expended by the great leader of Republican thought and policy Hon JAMES G BLAINE and its enforcement to the extent of giving the American citizen an ad- vantage over the foreign producer thus enabling him to maintain his industry and to make such a fair profit as will induce others to em- bark in the same business ing such a policy increases the wages of labor creates a good home market and results to the benefit of all classes A NUMBER of the richest rations in the country have formed an alliance against strikes The compact agreed to is that in case a strike occurs to enforce able demands whether the strike be against one or all of the ed factories all work is to cease The strikers are to be allowed to remain idle until they see fit to re- turn to work and no factory is to employ any worker who may have left another factory on a strike Neither is any associated factory to seek workers during a strike from any of the federated works It is claimed by these ers that action of their workers has forced the alliance tho population of the territories and that of the Dis- of Columbia and the indians not taxed from the total tion of tho United States as figured out by PORTER there remains about This is the population to be sented in congress If the number suggested by MR PORTER is taken as the congressional ratio then the next congress will have 353 members three extra be- ing allowed for small states and tions over On this basis the western states would gain fifteen members the southern states would gam three the middle states three while New England would hold its own it is not likely that so high a number as will be taken as a basis IF there was absolute free trade in coal between the United States and Canada both countries would be benefitted New England could be supplied from Nova Scotia and that part of Canada from the Rocky mountains eastward to within 100 miles of Montreal could be supplied from Pennsylvania Ohio Illinois and Indiana No question of the price of labor is involved here for it cost more to mine coal in Nova Scotia than it costs in this

anxious thoughts for vou That the old have today The duty of writing do not put off Let sleep or pleasure wait Lest the letter for which they waited and longed Be a day or an hour too late For the sad

There were about 100 men engaged in the battle on each side and the spectacle was quite imposing and exciting The commanding generals Geo W Bowers on the union side and Chas Ganzman on the confederate side handled their forces well and looked superb in their appropriate uniforms Gen Bowers was dress ed in the full uniform of a major general in the union army and Gen Ganzman was likewise rigged out in a complete suit of clothes appropriate to his position the con- federate gray with white slouch hat The subordinate generals and aids were also dressed in gay uni- forms indicative of their respective sides in the conflict The union boys were all dressed in the at- tractive uniforms of the G A R and our home soldiers who took the confederate side under Gen Ganzman were togged out in gray and butternut suits and looked like real genuine Johnnies It was easy to distinguish the opposite sides in the engagement The fight commenced ably earlier than the time ed for some reason or other and it was not long after the skirmishers were thrown out until the ment became general and lasted about half an hour The firing on both sides was well done and the rack of musketry the booming of cannon the shout of the the riding to and fro of the lies the waving Hag etc presented for a few minutes the appearance of a real battle and was perhaps as realistic as could have been made with the number of men engaged and the difficulty encountered in arms and equipments The cannon was captured and re- several times in the fight iml some fine charges were made by the boys in their determination to possession of it The union particularly anxious to the confederate lag and two or three exciting struggles took place in attempt to wrest the stars and bars from the color bearers Tho battle was exciting while if lusted and had it not been for the crowding of the people upon the ground set apart for the ment it would have lasto 1 longer and been much more realistic Whatever of failure there was in carrying out completely tho plans and maneuvers of the engagement was caused by the spectators ing in and occupying the ground making it absolutely impossible to carry out tho Hank movements
