repealed free trade will paralyze every
business and producing interest and un-
eQualed hard times will be the un-
avoidable and certain result with all
citizens of the United States, except
the retired capitalists and monopolists,
who will be able to employ labor for
half or less than half the wages now
paid. One free trade administration,
with control of both branches of con-
gress, would entail greater loss upon
the people of this nation than all the
wars this government has ever been
connected with. Every voter who is
interested in the continued prosperity
of all the people of the United States
should look the situation squarely in
the face and then decide what is his
duty to himself, family and all the peo-
pie of the country and then fearlessly
perform it. Free trade means certain
stagnation of every business, ruin to la
Dor, and poverty and unequaled suffer
ing throughout the land. 1t means the
stoppage of all factories or the reduc-
ton of the wages of employees to the
pauper levels of Europe. No probable
epidemic or Providential disaster can
equal the dire and certain results of
actual free trade in the United States.
Your vote will be cast for the continu-
alton of general prosperity or for GER
tain disaster and common ruin. Think
the matter over without prejudice, in
the light of the certain fact that pro-
lection means continued general pros
perity, while free trade means common
ruin.--IoMa State Register

DISGUISE it as we may, the fact re-
mains that cholera has defied the quar-
antine precautions and gained foot
hold on United States territory. Whether
it will develop into an epidemic re-
mains to be seen; but that its terrors
will be minimized by intelligent effort
Tor its suppression in case it does, goes
without saying, as the whole country is
aroused and concert of action is being
arranged between the authorities in
different parts of the country. The
best safeguards are, as we have before
mentioned, absolute cleanliness of per-
son and premises, plain, nourishing
diet and avoidance of worry.

PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.
The Situation squarely Presented to the
Voters.


Farmers, manufacturers, business,
professional and working men of Iowa
and the nation have greater personal
interests involved in this years presi-
Dental campaign than in any previous
contest since peace was declared at the
close of the revolutionary war. The
solid south forced the democratic ma
tioncl convention of this year to declare
for actual free trade, in the words and
terms of the constitution of the south
ern confederacy, with the intent to
compel the United States to cease pay
ing pensions to union soldiers, if the
democracy can gain complete posses
sion of the executive and legislative
branches of the national government
No union soldier or patriotic citizen
should permit himself to be deceived.
If democracy gains the presidency and
control of both branches of the next
congress the tariff and pension laws
will be repealed. That is and was the
design Of this years democratic cam
paign when the solid south, led by
Henry Watterson, compelled the Chi
cago convention to declare for free
trade on the line of the constitution OF
the southern confederacy.
Farmers, manufacturers, business,
professional and laboring men have
equal pecuniary interest with the
union soldiers in the perpetuatlon OF
the protective tariff. II the tarlH u

dent to every thoughtful American that
we have reached crisis in our history
as far as immigra ton is concerned, and
that If we do not have care we shall

immigration evils, and it is amazing

THE inconvenience resulting from an
entire stoppage to immigration would
not amount to anything in comparison
to the risk now being taken. Protec-

of quarantine will fail if ships from in

until the strong arm of the law is

tween the two in which case the Mars peo-
pie could see the earth passing across the
face of the sun like black spot. as some-
times Venus and Mercury are seen.
Necessary Features OF Slgns'a
In order that signals on the earth could
be seen by the people OF Mars the earth
would have to be out of their sunlight; that
is, be good many degrees away from line
joining Mars and the sun. The case may be
further illustrated by reference to the fact
that Venus cannot be seen except when at
much more than its least distance from the
earth. The smallest distance between the
earth and Mars at which earth signals could
be seen from that planet is about twice the
IS 0o0, 600 miles that now separate the two.
That is, the ciamet er of signal on the earth
to be seen from Mars would have to be at
least twice the diameter of a signal on Mars
that could be seen from the earth, suppos-
ing the telescopic power to be equal in the
two cases.
But there is another consideration which
renders the problem still more difficult
one. There is some reason to believe that
the workings on the surface of Mars could
not be discerned distinctly if its atmosphere
were as dense as the earth's. The telescopes
can pierce the atmosphere Of Mars, which
is certainly not more than three-quarters
the density of the earth's and perhaps not
much more than one-half 1t is by no mean 9
certain that the inha abitants of Mars could
look out through their own atmosphere ana
down through the earth's and see at the
bottom of the latter the divisions between
land and water surfaces. or make out any hut
the most intensely brilliant signals that
could be displayed.
The people of the earth could not hope,
there ore, to construct anything, however
vast, that would be recognized by the Mar.
tial people unless it were brilliantly lighted
up by electricity over the whole area.
So it will bo seen that the riches OF con-
tinent would have to be expended on such a
work that there might be any reasonable
hope OF success in signaling to Mars on the
supposition that that planet is inhabited by
persons as intelligent as the people OF the
earth.

The Victor in the Dull Flies on With 1t,
But Is Killed by the Father.
DETROIT, Aug. 5-Two eagles had a
duel to the death for the possession of the
6-months-old baby of Peter Shaw in Presque
Isle county yesterday. Mrs. Shaw had laid
the baby down on the grass and returned to
the house for q few moments, when an
enormous eagle swooped down on the in
FAINT and stuck its talons into the little
ones flesh and clothing. The mother heard
her baby's cry, but came too late to be of
service.
The mothers shrieks brought the father,
who quickly comprehended the situation,
mounted horse and armed with rifle
rode to the shore of a nearby lake, where
he knew was an eagle eyrie in the cliffs.
Shaw arrived just in time to see q terrible
sight. Two eagles we're lowering above a
crag of rock, filling the air with their cries,
and battling for possession of the baby that
lay high upon the cliff. Before the father
reached the summit one of the eagles had
fallen to the ground, while the other had
taken up the child for another flight. The
father fired and the bird and baby fell into
the water. The frantic father plunged into
the lake, caught up the body, but the little
one was dead. He took home the body,
along with those of the two eagles, one of
which had been killed in the fight over the
