The Veterans and Washingtons Contrast in Prosperity
A special Washington correspondence recalls the 25 years since the Civil War and highlights economic gains and reduced debt under Republican policies. It notes lower taxes, growing commerce, a larger pension system, and a shift from war debt to peacetime prosperity, while critiquing Democratic leadership. The piece closes with South Dakota Republicans reaffirming platform aims and calling for tariff balance, irrigation, railroad regulation, and veterans protections.
