Repetition OF Sound Principles Constantly
Needed.

Good and true doctrines can never DO
repeated too often. There will always
be new readers ard new listeners. The
principles advocated but four years ago
must again b. gone over TO new gen
GRAFTON of voters. Tho population OF
tho United States is now over 63, 900, 900.
1t Is probable that over l., 900, 900 votes
will be cast next year, and yet not one
eighth of population, or one-quarter OF
the present voting population was or
age at the outbreak OF the civil war.
1t is estimated that 5000, 900 votes will
be cast next year by men who never
voted for President before. And over
5000, 900 more men who were not OF age
when Lincoln was inaugurated, while
loss than 5000, 900 votes will be cast by
men who were then OF age. Mono OF
the young men who will cast
their first vote for President next
year, and who are receiving
wages and salaries from $40 to Sl2 per
week, can recall the time when under a
Free-Trade tariff they would have been
compelled 10 walk four miles TO begin
work at daylight, continuing as long as
it was light enough 10 see, and then
walking four miles to their homes. and
for what? Eighty-seven cents per day!
The young voter cannot remember when
the phianthropic people OF New York
organized free-soup dispensaries to the
poor who were without work or who
were obliged to work for pittance.
Much need there is, to repeat over
again the doctrines and principles OF
Protection to our industries, lest,
through ignorance, we return to those
dark and bitter days OF idleness and
poverty. Let the new voter be
thoroughly informed and we do not fear
to abide by the result of his balloting.
Intelligence leads to Protection. Pro-
lection, to Industry, Industry to Pros.

Performanc W.. Promise.

There have been twenJy-four sessions
Of Congress since the war OF the rebell-
ion. BY peculiar coincidence the con-
troll Of the House of Representatives,
with which must originate all Legislation
affecting the revenue, has been for an
equal period-twelye years-with each
OF the two great political parties
While one of these parties has been
committed to legislation having In view
the protection of American labor and in
dustries, the other has been inviting the
support Of voters by its promises OF
revenue reform" and the reduction Of
taxation. 1t may prove instructive to
look over the record of each party for
tho twelve years it has controlled ma
tional legislation, and fad out just what
has been accom- plished.
The Protectionists, while in position
to originate legis alton, passed eight
acts by which the revenues we're reduced
1892, 504, $50. On the other hand, the
party clamOring for "revenue reform"
has, during the twelve years of it's SUI
premacy, reduced the revenue but SIS, 36S, =
035. The figures upon which this sum
mary is made have been before Congress
repeatedly, and have never yet been
tontfoverted. Upon the record thus made
performance on the part of one, prom
Uses on the part of the othcr-the two
parties will soon again appeal for the
support of An erican voters. Which Is
most TO be trusted?

A Worthy Standard Bearer.

All eyes are now turned toward Ohio
and her gallant champion OF protection
and Republican principles, William Nc
Kinley, Jr. The Buckeye State has been
chosen, not for the first time, as the
ground for tho preliminary struggle of a
national campaign, and Major Mckinley
Is In IL. And, later on, when the last
vote is counted, there Is every reason TO
believe that Major Mckinley will still
be. In IT. In other words, William Nc
Kinley, Jr., has every prospect of being
the next Governor of Ohio.
The nomination of Major Mckinley for
the Governorship of his native State Is
an event OF national igniiicance-even
of international significance. When the
news of it reached England, the London
Times devoted special article 10 IT.,
pointing out how much was ut stake
for British interests. It saw that his
defeat would confirm English hopes of
the early abandonment Of the pro-
tectionst policy, while his e'ection
would mean that that policy was TO show
itself strong enough to hold British in
terests" at bay, and maintain for Amer
lea a thoroughly American policy.
In nominating Ma, or Mckinley with
the applause Of the protectionists all
over the country, the friends OF home
industry in Ohio took up the challenge
of last November. More than any other
man in tho whole country, MAJOR Nc
Kiney Is identified with that policy. His
name stands upon the tariff OF 1890 as
distinctly and indeliby as that OF Col
Hays on the tariff Of 1898, or that OF

town he labors methodically in the
old-time leisurely way for a certain
line Of old fashioned customers, cronies
of his, who are rs taciturn and unob-
trusive as himSel. He has scissored
and basted and sewed snug little
fortune for himself, and all the time
the beard kept growing leisurely and
unobtrusively. After the beard had
become more than two feet long Mr..
Cook tucked it inside his shirt, and it
grew even faster In there. But it was
so completely out of sight that even
after it had become as long as it is his
most intimate friends never suspected
that the ambitions but retiring beard
was growing fame for it's possessor.
Finally, one day about nine years
ago the little tailor trotted up two
long flights of stairs into the photo
graph rooms of his friend, Mr.. Laugh
ton, squared off before camera,
yanked great wad of hair out of the
bosom of his shirt, made deft twist
or two at it, and 10! hirsute cascade
flowed to his feet Mr.. Laighton was
astonished, but he pulled the trigger
and the camera did the rest At tho
time the photograph was taken the
beard was only Is feet inches it has
grown seven or eight inches since.
About this time Trumbull, of Adrian,
Mich, was travelling with Barnum and
posing as the longest bearded man on
the planet, and he and the great show
man heard of Mr.. Cook soon afterward.
The Michigan man audaciously pre-
sumed to match boards with Cook,
sight unseen, but Barnum came
straightway to Norwich and saw the
tailor. 1t was apparent to him at
once that Trumbull was away out of
the contract. Trumbulls beard
reached to his knees; the tip of Cook s
lay on the floor several inches beyond
the toes of his polished shoes. Mr..
Barnum thereupon offered Mr.. Cook
$50 week and expenses if he would
go with him and rust let his beard
keep on growing where the world could
look att. Mr.. Cooks wife might travel
with him and the Snowman would pay
her expenses also, but the offer was
spurned by the tailor, who said he had
no intention of being n cmiosity for
any sum of money.
Mr.. Cook is between 60 and 70 years,
has sallow, wrinkled, dark face, and
it is not known that he ever was sick.
His thick, luxuriant hair is as black as
a crows wing, and there is hardly a
silver thread in either his hair or his
beard.

The wagc-earners on farms in this

are upward Of 2I,00O,O0 persons di-

MT. Blaine has been maintaining such an

only to discontinue and defeat.
Nothing illustrates so clearly the shrewd
insight OF Mr.. Blaine into the tendency OF
contemporary events, and his power Of pc
htical adaptation, than the fact that hels at
The present time far moro In sympathy with
Mr.Wo'cott, Of Colorado the young Senator
who has shown 80 much independence IN

ates 30 thoroughly the conditions now sur
rounding that organization that he Is found
practically in accord with the natoi'
whose political life began in period when
It was palpable that Il the Republican party |
was to survive IL must cast aside the spIlt |
which bad governed it in the past.

II is not Improbable, therefore, that he will
