"HE SAYS"


he would communicate the same to
the old family Journal, whose fairy
tales OF Democratic wickedness has
so otter charmed aud delighted the
blood d-and-thundor patriots of the
Grand Old Party for the last twen-
ty-fve years. But Bro. Spiker is
not willing to go down into history
rs the wiseacre of his party, but
contents himself in conveying to
the Journal what Bro. Grimm
says is most wonderful to con-
template. 1t will be a revelation to
the Journal patriots Just listen
He "says" the "shoep industry
must go - an industry in which he
has been so successful that it is fair
to presume he has accumulated
fortune For almost "nine long
years he has been successful i'm
farming and stock raising" and
under the beneficent aud glorious
protection of the Republican party
he has been able to drive the "pau-
per products" out of the Mountain
Valley Furnace markets which gayc
him absolute and exclusive control
OF the market Geewhiz Let
everybody pull eff his hat aud hur-
rah for the Republican party and
Protection !
But there is one thing we cannot
understand and that is why Valley
Furnace has not been running for
the last nine years. We can only
surmise that under this magnificent
Protection it became so prosperous
that it concluded that a season Of
rest is what it needed to "protect"
American Labor We are sorry
Bro. Grimm did not tell MS the
why's and whercfofes for Valley
Furnaces idleness for these many
years. The only inference is that
In its magnanimity it decided to
take a rest and give the "sheep"
and farming" chance to accu-
mulate a fortune under High Pro-
lection before the Democratic party
got control of the government and
killed the "Infant Industries. :"
Let us hope that Proxy Spiker Will
CORE, ct US il We are mi.t,ken in our
diagnosis.
But tho Democratic party Is
going to change all this American
prosperity, so Bro. Grimm "says."
1.-The sheep industry must go the
pensions must go the American
industries and American labor must
go!" o, my ! What pity Bros.
Grimm aud Spiker did not make
tins known before the Presidential
election. No change would have
taken place then, the Republican
party, which they love To recall was
once led by Lincoln, guarded by
Seward, and inspired by Sumner,
would have been retained in power.
Eut tho people were not to be
deceived. They we're not Glow to
discern that the party o: Lincoln,
Seward and Simmer was not the
partysof Harrison, Reed, Mckinley,
Foster and Foraker, a party which
was desperately hanging to power,
hoping to hold by bribery in blocks
Of five what IL had attained by
fraud. A party that had received
from its political opponents sur
plus Of 800, 100000 in 1880 and
turned it over to this desperate and
wicked Democratic party in 1893
with a bankrupt Treasury No
wonder the Republican party was
willing to pay Protective bounty
to manufacturer and corporations
who were willing to furnish a cor
ruption fund TO retain them IN
power. But tho Democratic party
unmasked the vile hypocrisy OF
"Protection to American labor"
and convicted the Republican party
before the American voters. Hence
the howl from the robber tariff
barons and their deludcd followers.
The ARGUS sympatbizos with
Bro. Grimm that his 'shocp indus.

has not been prosperng under the
Mckinley Protection which was
going TO make tho wool cell for City
and sixty cents a pound, but it
seems that Bro. Grimm got the
Mckinley Protcction-wool pulled
over his eyes, and like the rest Of
