that the best that can be done is to
support Harrison. He knows Cleve-
land to be bitter enemy to silver,
and much stronger than his party =
something that cannot be said Of
Harrison and the Republican party.
He also knows that the third, or
fourth, party cannot accomplish ex>

do, to-wit: to elect Cleveland by de-
feating the Republican candidates.
He also realizes that, unless Harrison
is elected there is no possible chance
for reconciliation for no one can pre-

as a true friend of silver and q patriot,
overcomes his antipathy to Harrison
and supports him.

WHY GOOD ROADS ARE HARD T(
GET,

Among the very foremost agitators
for the building of better country
roads is ex Gov. James A. Bsaver, of
Pennsylvania, who made this the SUBJ
ject of an executive message during
his term of Office. Governor Beaver
has written for the August number Of
The Forum an explanation why mos.
communities find it so difficult to get
good roads. The school tax, he says,
we have become accustomed to; SO
we have become accustomed to be
taxed ior charitable institutions and
for the relief of the poor; but in most
States the habit Of generations, SO far
as concerns the improvement Of roads,
has been the ineffective system of
"working roads," SO that most men
have not only had it firmly fixed in
their minds that roads are not proper
subjects for direct taxation, but that
tho highways might be made by a
small contribution Of personal labor.
It is this long and deep. rooted habit
and unwillingness to pay direct
sufficient road tax that is the primary
cause Of our national disgrace in hAv.
ing so few good highways; and the
remedy lies in such an agitation as is
happily now going on in most States
fer a keener public appreciation Of
the direct commercial benefits Of we'll,
built roads.

THOUGHTS FOR LOCAL VOTERS.

THOUGHTS FOR LOCAL VOTERS.
We can hardly make a living now,
with silver at IS to 80 cents.
All that saves us is the price oflead.
If the tariff OF J cents per pound
is removed from lead, what effect will
this have on us-on each and every
ono Of US?
The Republican party represents
protection to all home Industries.
The Democratic party represents
free trade, which would be the de.
struotion of all home industries.
The Democratic candidate is the
bitterest enemy Of silver who has ever

Tho Republican candidate has done
all that he possibly could to re-
habilitate silver, and is still tat it.
Now, how should you vote?

KEI.LNGG,s OPINION.

Washington, Aug. 2-Talking to a
New York World reporter, William
Pitt Kellogg pleads not guilty to the
charge Of being a sorehead and VOWS
his intention to go to Louisiana to help
elect Republican congressman.
He says. two or three OF them may
be elected in the sugar belt on the pro
lection issue, that being the only. sec
tion of the State where the doctrine
has any advocates or friends.
The peoples party will not get more
than 5000 or 5000 votes in the State.
He further says
1'The chances favor Democratic sue
cess. The Democrats control the elee-
tion machinery of the State, and that
is great advantage. The issue raised
by the force bill viii cause the white
people to vote the Democratic ticket.
A general feeling is apparent that the
Republicans are in favor of the force
biIl--that they might pass il and that
the president would sign it. 1t is the
fear of its enactment that will Keep the
Democrats solid in their ranks. But
for this issue / have no doubt good
many would vote independently. and
they might vote the Republican ticket
] think it IS very doubtful If the Re
pubiicans can secure the electoral vote
OF Louisiana, as some OF them have
claimed, or that they can get the cleo
toral votes Of any Southern STATE.
