while the individual reaps cosmopoli-
tanism as his recompenso, race is
constantly driven in upon itself, in its
struggle for existence, and becomes
more personal as tho outcome of the

which it finds itself necessitato

influences provo wo have but to look
at that branch of the Aryan family

Decidedly the finest building of It's size
on our business streets is the new brick
store erected during this season by Mr..
George Philbrick, ON the site of the
wooden building on Water street that he
has occupied for 81 years past.
Mr. Philbrick commenced early in the
season and has taken his time for the
work in order To have it done as it should
be done. The painters are now giving
the finishing touches To the rooms, and
Mr.. Philbrick is moving IN his stock of
goods ready for the holiday trade.
The building is 95XG0 feet, three stories
high, with basement largely blasted out
of the solid ledge foundation, built of
heavy masonry and granite the walls of
selected brick and the front Of pressed
brick granite trimmed, with fine plate
glass front for the lower story
The front elevation is of pleasing design
and adds much to the appearance of that
part of Water street.
The lower story is to be occupied
wholly by Mr.. Philbrick rs a sacsroom

Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1888-05-31

A correspondent writes to the
Wisconsin as follows from Wau-
sau: The Wisconsin was pleased
to say in a late issue that the race
in the Ninth District for the Re-
publican nomination this fall has
simmered down to Messrs. Steph-
enson, McCord, Stewart and Fl
field. A late issue Of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press announces that the
contest will be between Messrs.
Stephenson and McCord. In one
of the articles Mr.. Stewart, of this
county, is ignored altogether,
while Geo. r. Gardner, of Wood
County, is mentioned by neither.
There is strong feeling in this
part Of the district that Mr.. Steph-
enson has been honored fully as
much as he deserves and that he
should now retire. 1t is also the
sentiment of very many that the
Republican candidate this year
should be taken from the Wiscon-
sin Valley. Of those in this val
ley who have been mentioned the
names of Mr.. Stewart and Mr..
Gardner are most prominent.
While the Republicans of Mara
thon County will of course prefer
Mr.. Stewart, if he should deter
mine to make the race, Mr.. Gard
ner also has many friends and
admirers here. Both, also, have
strong supporters in the other
Wisconsin Valley counties.

Laboring Men Please Read.

Republican victory, the pros
poets Of which grow brighter
every day, can be impecrilied only
by lack of unity in council or by
acrimonious contest over men.
The issue of protection is meal
culably stronger and greater than
any man, for it concerns the pros
perity Of the present and OF gener-
atoms YET to come. Were it pos
sible. for every voter Of the repub-
lie to see for himself the condition
and recompense of labor in En-
rope, the party OF free trade IN the
United States would not receive
the support Of one wage-worker
between the two oceans. 1t may
not be directly in our power as
phiIanthropists to elevate the
European laborer, but it vii be a
lasting stigma upon our states
manship If we permit the Ameri-
can .aborer to be forced down to
the European level. And in the
end the rewards of labor every
where will be advanced if we
steadily refuse to lower the stand
ard at home. Yours very sincere
