We have no public debt-no direct taxes,

the freedom Of the press under libel prosecu-
tons, no alien law to repulse from our shores
the inhabitants Of the Old world who ONE

pay home for themselves and their posierity.
Our duties on foreign imports have been re-
duced one half: the one half Of our foreign
commerce is now free Of duty, an exemption
and a benefit which the m Of no 9TH

respected acknowledgement by all nations,
not only Europe but Asiatic and Africa
The American now travels in the midst Of re-
spectful attentions all over the continent of
Europe; he sleeps in safety in Turkey, in
Persia. in Syria, in Egypt in Morocco, and
on the Barbary coast. His property and his
person are every where safe by land and by

their barbaric presents TO testify their desire
for our friendship. Such is the state Of the
world; such the state of on: own country;
such IFS happiness under the dispensations Of
providence and under the operation of pru-
dent government. And what is there in all
this TO create distress? what in all this to
make banks shut up, to knock down prices.
TO derange business, to stop work. TO turn
people out of employment! What is there
in all this 10 justify a clamcr against the gov

there is nothing in it TO justify such things
nothing TO create distress. or TO produce
clamor. or TO demand change. Nor is there
any distress except where artif":ally and
wantonly made for political and pecunIary
purposes: there is no clamor except with
those who quit their business TO engage in
politics. there is no cry for a change. except
with those who are painting and thirsting for
the honors and emoluments Of office, and for
the pay and plumber of a national bank
The times are good and are getting tetter.
Prices Of produce and property are rising in
spite OF all effects to keep them down until
after the election. Foreign exchanges are
in our favor; gold and silver flow into the
country; the brokers shops are full of spe-
Gle. though half the banks in the Union re-
fuse TO redeem their notes, ard mean TO re-
fuse until the election is over. The times
are good.

THE JOURN
SATURDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1910.

ELEcTIoXs.-Owing to the high waters
east Of 81. Lnuis, we have very little ininr-
nation from Ohio. II is stated in tie SAINT
Louis papers that DR.. Duncan is defeated in
the Cincinnati district, by leg votes. From
no other part Of the state have we any intel
~!igence.
In Maryland, the Democrats have succee-
ded in the city and county Of Baltimore. The
wings claim n majority Of the members elect
TO the Legislature. Tie returns, however.
are yet imperfect. and there is no knowing
accurately what is the majority in the popu-
lar vote. From Arkansaw we have nothing
definite.

A WORD To OUR FRIENDS IN PIKE AND THE
ADJOINING COUNTIES.

ADJOINING COUNTIES.
On Monday week the great battle is TO be
fought. which is to m1rk the political charac-
ter of Missouri for the next four years. Is
every voter at his po>t9 Is every Democrat
prepared to leave his axe and his plough, and
60 to the polls, and there exercise the high
p%rerogative of Il free man? Will not every
friend Of his country devote the Dad day Of
November to the success Of the great princi-
pies for which we contend! Let no one be
lulled into a false security by the idea that our
opponents will make no effort in this state
Let no enc suppose that though defeated,
and overwhelmed in the late election, that
they will make no effort TO get to the polls.
Their men are for the most part in the towns
and villages; and a single blast from their
trumpcters on the eve of the electipn.wil bring
them out almost To n man. To the Demo
cIacy Of this and the adjoining counties, then
we say, CO TO THE POLLS, and take your
nri.hbors one and all. Between this and
the day Of election, remind every voter Of
the Importance Of the present contest, and
urge him to be at his post early on the second
day of November. 1t will be a memorable
day in the future history Of Missouri, and o.
other states of the Union. II will be Il me-
morable day TO the man who trkes his stand
on the side OF the people against British gold
and s~windling corporations. 1t will be q
memorable day to the man who goes TO the
polls and iear'es>!y deposites his vote against
