EDlToR DEMOCRATS
IL tho Review Of Sept cath 10 an cd
itOrial under the head OF "Voter think
before you vote" The heading OF that
editorial 10 very appropriate and IL
would be we'll for the voter TO think be-
fore he casts his vote for the Republl-
can party, lie ahysi The Republican
party believes II better 10 pay more for
an article made At home than TO buy q
like article made abroad that can be
bought fof less, This has been the doc
hine Of the Republican party for years
under that of high protective tarifby
which tho poor laborIng masses have
been robbed Of their hard laboringa In
llling the pockets OF the monopollat,
and earatteryeara the laboring mass
ca sink deeper In the depths OF poverty
the manufacturer eOrrespondlngly in
ereaaea his wealth, Again says The
Democratic party says II Is bestto buy
where you can buy tho cheapest Aud
why uOtY DOnotthe llepubliOan party
leaders practice th0tY DO not those
men who 90 abroad for recreation and
travel return with their trunks loaded
down with wearing apparel bought IN
the cheap markets OF Europe, II tho
leaders Of the Republican party believe
Ia buying IN our home market aud pay
more for their clothing why do they not
do aoY That which 10 best for the labor
ing masses surely ia applicable 10 them
selves, but do they do SOP No. Even
one Of the q, o, 7, Of Canton who went
abroad, increased ha wearing apparel
10 the amount OF five new suits II
such doctrine 10 good for the labOrlng
maaaea way did ho not patronlze his
home mtrohanty Agalni "lt you are
a merchant doing business ana selling
q great variety OF goods ~ reasonable
profit, 10 II right or ls he the moSt use
ful citizen who purchases IN some other
town whore no can buy that which
he can buy cheapest" Now Mr. Editor,
II such doctrine 10 good for the masses
IL II not also good for the leaders Of the
Republican partyY Why does not Mr,
Morgan of M0rgant0wn set such good
example instead OF going into u foreign
market TO purchase nearly all he con
sumea, In hia own and his soma fam
iliesg Ia he and his sons helping the
merchants OF hia own town In building
II up, OF which no has such aolioitOus
welfare, because no has money 10 hid
command 10 pay the cash and save The
lltlle profit that would so 10 the atiiY'
ing merchant, who ia good enough TO
supply him with some little perlohable
article when no needs ~, but 10 not
worthy of the small profit upon such
goods as can be bought IN Il foreign
market and shipped here without loss
This Ia the manufactures who ~ taking
such an active part IA the reelection
OF Mckinley, and who controls The town
council, aud by his e0lut published ~
the Review of, "fhere viii DO no meet
Ing of the town council tonight, BY
the order OF Mr., Morgan - aud there
was no meeting; and who has
also brhnched out IN II speech
10 the farmers, advising them 20 vote
Tor Mckinley. What interest has he
got in common with the farmer only IN
so far rs 10 do his biddlng of how they
should vote. OF the number of years
ue had been in business Ia Alliance he
has never appeared ~ any Of their
meetings TO address them upon ary
topic. Again he says, "CouId home
merchant reasonably anticipate the dt
mands OF a community made up OF
people who supply their cemandB II
wants In the neighborng town An
examination OF the freight receipt book
NJ the freight office here win show who
goes into q foreign market 10 antici-
pate their wants and which thia Re
Wow mau condemns and who, without
one exception, are active leaders Of the
Republican party, sit not refreshing
o read such good advice coming from
the source II does. Oh ya generation
Of viperg, there is n reckoning IN the
futuTo when The laboTing masses get
their eyes fully opened TO the iniquities
that have been heaptd upon them
"VoteI think before you cast your vote
tor Tho Republican party" r.
