to give the Republican candidate a majority
OF probably fifteen hundred-provided Mr.

enough Republican complimentary votes To
Mr.. Greeyy 10 overcome this majority. We.
therefore, earnestly urge ON all Republicans
who have the good OF the Nation and their
party AT heart To stick to their ticket. AN
over the country the Republicans are earn
estly working to secure a Republican major

are making to gain all close districts and to
hold the districts we now have. Let rs not.
through carelessness or oyer-coniidence, give
this district TO the Democrats. Mr.. Scull has
made a good member. He has been hard

ALL must admit, says the Democratic
orator that this country has enjoyed a
reasonable degree of prosperity under
President Cleveland Granted but that
does not justify the conclusion that it
would be equally prosperous under con
tinued Democratic rule. oar present
National prosperity is largely the product
OF the business and financial policy estab-
ished during a quarter of acentury ofRe-
publican administration. The policy has
not as yet been changed, and, therefore,
there has been no serious interruption Of
favorable business conditions. But within
the last year the President and the Dem
0crals in Congress have served notice on
the country that 4 change Of policy IS TO
be inaugurated a. speedily rs possible.
Therein is just cause Of apprehension, for
the people are warned by past experience
what measure Of disaster the proposed
change %portends. The party in power
Is rot d~isaosed;o leave we.lenoagh alone,
and fair warning is gwen that the tradi-
honal policy Of Boarbonism Is 10 be re-
~iasiate,L. Freshness men and workiugmen

or no; they viii consent to reverse the
conditions under which the coantry has

perity. That's the issue Of this campaign.

the Democratic bosses are thoroughly
frightened over the situation. When the
President, last December, delivered his
famous freo-trade message, the press all
over the country said he was a Daniel in
wisdom, and it was tie keynote of the
coming campaign" To-day a Democrat
who would mention ~the keynote or
advocate the Mills BILL" except to prove
that il was a good protection measure
and only reduced the tariff > per cent
would be hauled of the stump and re-
tired. Leading Democratic orators who
are honest enough to advocate the real
principles OF the party have not been al
lowed to take any active part in fact, no
pari in any of the close States or the
manufacturing States. This Is simple
truth that cannot be successfully contra
dicled. Many are asking what il all
means. Il j. simply the fac. that the
Democratic party have awakened 10 the

occupy the ground they had laid out.

public viii be brought to believe that

Some of the Effects of Free Trade.


The importation, free Of duty, of iron ore
and pig metal would. in 4 short time, close
every furnace in this country. where labor
would cost more than 50 cents per day. The
closing Of these mills would make unprofita-
bic the mining of over Io,0O).0j0 tons ofcoll
and almost as many tons of iron ore.
The transportation Of this raw material
would be lost 10 our railroads and internal
water ways and as natural sequence, the
hundreds OF thousands Of wageworkers and
iaborers that now nave constant work at
good wages, would be thrown out ofemploy-
ment and untold suffering and want would
be the result. If you reduce rates you in
crease importations, increase revenues and
pile up a surplus and you cripple home in
dnsiries.
Here the careful reader can readily see
how. in this ore article of iron, if allowed
10 come into the United States free, labor
would be affected. The farmer woald also
be seriously affected, because the hundreds
Of thousands Of ~w0rkingmen, that under
protection nave constant work, but who,

States, or else turn farmers and become pro-
dueers instead Of consumers of farm produc-
tons.
