Look at Your Bills and Vote
the Democratic Ticker.

If you like to have the cost of
your living increased by Federal
taxation at a time when the country
is in profound peace and the Treas
ury has been struggling with the
problem of a surplus revenue, then
go and vote for the Republican can
didate for Congress.
If you like to have the price of
linseed oil to paint your house with
and glass for your windows, new
carpet for your parlor, and a bureau
and mirror for your bed room in
creased in price by tax that will
not benefit the Government at all,
but will go straight into the pocket
of some manufacturer or other, who
is probably a member of some trust
or combine that is arbitrarily fixing
prices, then go and vote for the Re
publican candidate for Congress.
If you, madam, like to have the
price of table cloth and set of nap
kips. of table cutlery, glass ware
and crockery, of your fall bonnet,
your winter wrap, and all the ho-
siery and underware for yourself
and your children, and of every
piece of tin ware you need in your
kitchen and every can of food you
buy for your table increased by
tariff law whose schedules were die
tated to Mr.. McKinley's committee
by the trusts and corporations that
are going to rake in your money,
then by all means tell your hus-
band to go to the polls and vote for
the Republican candidate for Con-
gress.
lfyou, young man, really enjoy
paying % or 80 per cent. extra for
the shot gun you go hunting with
this fall in order to increase the for
tune of some shot gun manufacturer,
then by all means go to the polls
and cast your first ballot for the
Republican candidate for Congress.
If you. bereaved father, or hus-
band or son, find any consolation in
the sacred privilege of paying 25
per cent. extra for coffin and 80 or
40 per cent. extra for a grave stone,
then do not fail on any account to
cast a black bordered ballot for the
Republican candidate for Congress.
Every tradesman's bill from now

AN IMPORTANT POINT
For Every Democratic Voter to
Think of
How to Kill the Force
Bill.
1t Can be Done Easily on Next
Tuesday, Nov. A.

National Democrat.
Every Democratic voter in every
close congressional district should
understand that a vote for the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress is a
vote to kill the force bill. Speaker
Reed realizes better than any one
else the fact that a large Democratic
majority in the next House of Rep
resentatives means the defeat of his
favorite measure.
This is the reason why he is GO
ing to all the close districts in the
West and urging the Republicans
to come up to the polls, and save
him and his party from the disaster
which stares them in the face.
Let us explain the situation lit
tie:
There are more than twenty five
Republican members of the House
of Representatives who are anxious
to throw off the yoke of Reed, in
which their necks are now closely
held, and declare their independence
of his oduios domination.
If, in November, a Republican
majority in the next House shall be
elected, every one of these men will
know that Reeds rule is likely to
be continued during the next Con-
gress, and they will remain in a
submissive attitude, for fear of the
Maine despot.
But if clear Democratic majority
shall be elected, then these uneasy
and uncomfortable Republican men,
bers will at once pc. ceive that in
the next Congress Reed will be of
rather less account on the floor
than other members of his party.
For it is very safe to say that
Reed, as leader of a Republican
minority, will receive scant consid-
Grafton from Democratic majority,
no matter what Democrat may oc-
cupy the Speakers chair.
Now the force bill cannot pass at
the coming short session without GO
ing back from the Senate to the
House. The Senate intends to pass
a substitute for the House bill, and
it is certain to amend 1t, SO that tho
House must concur in the passage
of the act. We believe that there
is enough Republican opposition In
the House to kill the bill, If Reeds
hand is paralyzed on November 4.
Members like Harmer, of Philadel-
phia, openly declare that it shall
never pass.
The election of a dozen Demo,
cratic members, more or less, next
month will settle the fate of the
force bill.
Therefore, Democrats come out
and vote every one of you; your bal
lot may never count for so much
again as it will this year.
Every Democratic leader should
enforce this fact In his appeals to
the people.

A Last Word.

This is probably our last issue be-
fore the election, and we want to
impress upon the voter who is hon
est enough to admit that they are
being crushed and impoverished by
the tariff tax, to be at the polls next
Tuesday. There is but one way to
relieve yourselves from the tax bur-
den, and that is to vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
The Democratic platform of prin-
.ciples rings out the alarm, telling
'of the dangers that surround you,
and pointing the way to relief and
safety. The people are awakened;
all classes of workingmen, and es
pecially the farmers, are alarmed,
and are preparing to march in un.
broken phalanx upon the breast
works of the covering defenders
of a protective tariff. Should our
people be less determined.
The force bill that proposes to in
wade your homes and surround the
ballot boxes of the people, with
troops, should receive the condem-
nation of every liberty loving voter
ION next Tuesday.
Upon the platform of the right,
THE people must crush out those
who would crush them.
Be freemen, and dare to do the
right.

Now that the Mckinley
bill is a law, everybody
needs a pension.

Senator Hoar and Major McKin-

people that there is more free trade
under the Mckinley law than there
would have been under the Mills
bill had that become law. Then
why did they yell two years ago
that the Mills bill was a free trade
scheme that would ruin American
