CARTER Is A LUXURY,

Do you work hard for every cent you
earn? You cannot afford to vote for
Carter il you do. The Mckinley bill
ties the worker down to absolute neces.
stiles, and Carter is luxury, an expen-
sive luxury. Do you wear clothes?
Carter is going to make you pay from s5
to $50 more than you ever had to pay
before for your winter suit. Order one
and see. Have you had an increase in
wages to meet the advance in prices?
Not one cent. Carter is going to reduce
your wages for you. The extra money
for your winter suit comes out of your
pocket, not out of his, and your wages
are reduced by just that amount. You
used to get s75 a month and pay $40 for
a suit. Now you get 975 a month and
pay from S44 to SAG for the same suit
That is four or six dollars by which Carter
reduces your wages. Do you wish your
oyercoat refined? Carter will charge
you about 81 cents moro than it used to
cost you. He has got the dead cinch on
you. You can't get it cheaper in this
country. The tailor is still stitching
away at the same old wages. He'll tell
you SO. The government has surplus,
and does not need the money. Carter
has some friends in the east, who need
steam yachts, seaside cottages and trips
to Europe. They get the benefit
Do you smoke cigars, and do you
imagine you may indulge in just that
one luxury? You must pay more for it.
Carter says SO, and that goes. Your be-
loved three-for-a-quarter have been
metamorphosed into ''twofors." You
smoke SIX day. That means an extra
quarter per diem, nearly one hundred
dollars year. Carter has fixed it for
you. Don't look to him for the hundred
dollars or you are very fresh. You can't
do without shoes in Montana. Carter
has decided that your former Sc shoe
will cost you now all the way from
$3.50 to 80. Convince yourself
Are you blessed with wife? Carter
wants to make her luxury for the
working man. She used to make her
self pretty, serviceable gown and com.
Portable jacket for SIG. She could de-
wise natty hat for about s2.75, and her
gloves cost her IS cents. Carter thinks
it but right to his eastern friends that
gown and jacket should cost her not less
than $3.50. You can afford to pay
twice as much for the velvet for her hat
No, your wages are not going up. But
you have pride in your wife, and 70,
ought to pay at least 81 or s1.25 for hel
gloves. Your stinginess makes lou,

Brilliantine he has put beyond you
humble reach. He's the stuff.
Are you workman? Want ney

Only new axe-head? Some OF Ca,
ter's friends have monopoly of tina

have one without absolutely enptyin
