| BY having the American market almost ex-
clusively in these industries, our manufacturers
are able to produce on large scale. and thus,

able to pay nearly one third more wages than
the smaller establishments, and still sell their
products for much less.-Mi lwaukee Sentinel
THE discussions in the Democratic ranks,
headed by the Presidents ill-advised stand on

IT is possible that his nomination, and the
confirmation after long delay and general de-
bate. may have serious influence in teaching
the people of the United States who do care for
our nationality and who do distrust the confed

Court is in danger as well as the Senate of the
United States, which is first in the place of
peril, and that the only salvation for them is to
elect the next Republican candidate for Presi
dent of the United States.-Cincinnati Com
