WIVES. MOTHERS, sWEETHEARTs
Some Reasons why They Should Taase
an Interest IN the Election and See
How Their Loved Ones Vote.

Attention. wives, mothers. sweet
heartsl
have few words 10 say to you on
your political dutissl
Oh, know very well what you will
say, that you take no interest IN politics;
you leave that to tho men; you can't I'M
derstand these questions, and abso-
lutely will not bother your heads about
the tariff.
That's all right. don't want TO see
women leave their homes and meddle
with politics. I'm not asking You to go
out and shrek on platform. What l
beg you to do is to stop at home, look
after it and use all the sweet and wom-
anly ways you possess to help protect
that home.
If you haven't a vote you can make
one. You can tease, coax, badger and
torment man into voting the right way.
And what way is that2 With a woman
it is always the way which is going to
best promote the interests of the home
the foundation of civilization.
Let us see. Suppose you are farmers
wife. l know you, you patient, uncom-
planning, toiling heroine; you who work
from o'clock in the morning until II at
night to help pay off the mortgage; !
have seen you pitching hay in the fields,
milking COWS at nightfall, churning,
washing, getting off the children to
school, growing old and bent and wrin-
killed. before your time. All, if l were a
man I'd take off my hat to you, brave,
unsel6sh mother, wife, worker. Let us
look out over your farm and consider its
products for moment.
You know, do you not, that before
Mr.. Cleveland was president your hus-
band used to get one dollar for wheat;
that during his term wheat fell, and
during Mr.. Harrison's first term it rose
again to one dollar3 You also know that
since the Mckinley bill was passed the
tariff on farm products is increased
oats, Is cents per bushel; barley, so
cents; wheat, % cents; wool, II to 10
cents per pound. Everything that you
and your husband are raising on your
farm is now protected. Ask your hus-
band if the cost of plows and other agri-
cultural machinery is not less now than
ever before2
And you, away up in the northwest,
struggling for little home, do you re.
member that frightful day when your
little was unjustly attacked; when you
contemplated the peril that menaced
that little spot dearer to you than any
place on earth2 What need to ask youi
You will never forget it!
What was the matter? Simply this,
Mr.. Cleveland's land commissioner, In a
single order, suspended all entries of pub
lie lands in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
the Dakotas, Idaho, Utah, Washington,
New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, Ne
vada and Minnesota, throwing them all
into the "fraud DIVISION" even where
they had already been 'proved up" for
patents before the land offices. More
than 40, 900 homes were affected by this
infamous order. Was yours among that
NUMBER
Il so, 1t Is scarcely necessary for me
to say: See to it that your husband,
your son, your brother or your sweet
heart be not led off after strange gods.
Give him no rest until he pledges his
vote for the party which protects the
American home-the Republican party.
