Pr0snects in the Second.

From all accounts, and we have
personal knowledge OF many, the out
look for the success of the Republican
congressional candidate in this dis
trict is most encouraging and fatter-
ing. Mr.. Sauerhering is conducting a
quiet but aggressive campaign, ming
ling directly with the voters, and
making his friendly personality felt
on all sides. His style of campaigning
is peculiar to himself, and is certain
to have effect on the Democratic
majorities on election day Regard
ing the situation as reports have it,
The Sentinel of Monday says:
Very interesting reports come from
the Second district, the Democratic
stronghold OF the state, which are
not at all pleasing to the Democrats.
To carry the Second district for the
Republican candidate would under
most circumstances seem little short
of a miracle, but the Democratic man
ayers out there have never been so
worried as they are at present. The
candidates are Edward Sauerhering,
Republican; Charles Barwig Demo-
crat, and B.W. Hewitt, Populist. The
Democratic pluralities in the counties
composing the district were 2,888 in
1888; 6,731 in 1890 and 6,1TO in
1892. Young Mr., Sauerhering, &C
cOrding to the reports, is going to
make a phenomenal run. Right in
Dodge county, where both candidates
live, Sauerhering is making great in
roads into the Democratic strength,
and Dodge county is usually the ban
ner county of Democracy. Mr.. Sauer-
herring is very popular wherever he is
known, and if Barwig is not actually
defeated the big Democratic majority
will be depleted to such an extent
that its friends won't recognize it. The
Peoples party cut very little figure
in the Second district two years ago,
its vote being only GOT. Well in
formed Dodge county Republicans be-
lieve that Barwig not only can be
beaten, but will be.

A Democratic Truth.

Times may be hard, but they are
bound to get better in a country
where nearly so per cent. of the
families own their homes No
other country can approach such q
showing.-Jeferson Banner (Dem.)
The above is very truthful utter
ance and theman who wroteit doubt
less forgot, for the moment, that he
is a Democrat. ''No other country
can make such a showing!" Why?
Simply because they have not had
the benefits of a Republican policy Of
protection to their people such as our
country has. Democratic control of
the government may or may not be
wholly responsiblefort the hard times,
but the two going hand in hand pos
sess a certain degree of Significance
that the majority of voters of the
country fully realize W0upun Times

In making such an ado about reduc-
ing state taxes this year, the Demo
cratic organs do not explain that the
actual expenses Of the state govern
ment during the present Democratic
administration were far in excess of
the expenses under the previous Re-
publican administration Nor do they
explain that the reason for not need
ingso much money to makeup for this
Increased cost OF state government
is that the state officers have shrewd-
ly applied to their excuses the money
received from the bondsmen of the
ex-state treasurers and the war tax Of
1861 returned by the government.
The present Democratic state govern
menti is simply hiding its extravaganza
IN actual state expenses behind the cry
of lower state taxes, caused by these
extraordinary receipts. Next year
there will be no such outside sources
to fill the treasury from.-OshkosA

NJ. E. BURKE, of Beaver Dam, as
semblyman from Dodge county for
several terms past, and trusted
lieutenant and henchman of Barwig's,
was nominated for state senator in
the Thirteenth district last Thursday
at Columbus to succeed w. f. Voss.
Burke's principal opponent was M.
A. Jacobs, of Beaver Dam, who holds
clerkship in Washington under
Land Commissioner Lamoreux, and
this defeat is considered slap in the
facefor the Vilas-Lamoreux ring. The
Columbus Republican in summing up
the nomination says:
Lawyer Burke receiving a majority
on the second formal ballot was de-
clared unanimously nominated, and
a committee 'fetcheG" him to the
Auditorium. He thanked the con-
ventiOn for the great honor, promised
the farmer first and the business and
workingmen incidentally mis- fatherly
protection, and with one hand over
his watch pocket and the other point
ing dramatically to a big fly on the cell
ing, threatened humiliation to rail
roads. But as not more than time to
take a drink before d railroad would
whirl most of the delegates homeward
remained, there was hurried finish
ing up of business.

Telling Words by Mckinley.

A short time since Governor Nc
Kinley delivered q speech atGallipolis,
Ohio, in which he paid his respects
to the author of the so-called Wilson
law. In the course of his long ad-
dress, the speaker made some telling
and truthful remarks, among other
things saying:
| find answer to my question In
the newspaper dispatches of to-day
from London, furnishing particulars
of a banquet given by the Chamber of
Commerce, OF London, to MIR. Wilson,
member of congressfrom the state Of
West Virginia, whose rugged hillsides
see just over the river. Sir Albert
Kaye Rollitt, who presided at the
banquet, said that Mr.. Wilson's name
should become honored and familiar
in England, and that London in hon
Oring him honored itself; that the new
tariff law, while it might not have real,
lied the aspirations of it's promoters
had already benefited England.
Furnaces have been reopened in
Wales and Yorkshire, and an i'm
petus has been given to the textile
industries.
This will be cheering news to the peo-
pie of the United States and will bring
comfort to the idle men who, for
more than a year, have 0een waiting
for the American mills to reopen. You
have not heard of any commercial
body in the United States, through its
spokesman, declaring that any indus
tries IN America have been stimulated
by this law, whatever benefits have
gone to other countries. While the
banquet at London was proceeding
the Board of Trade of Edinburgh sent
it's congratulations. There was a sim
gular absence of any American dis
patches. Prolonged applause.
Here is q word of ENCOURAGEMENT
which Mr.. Wilson himself gave to the
gentlemen of London. He said:
"Our protectionists have been build
ing defenses to keep you and other
nations from competing with us in
our home markets. The tariff reform
ers are breaking down these defenses.
That is what we object to. If we
do not defend our home markets
against the products of the cheaper
labor of other countries, who Will?
Is it any wonder that the gentlemen
of the Chamber of Commerce of Lon
don applauded Mr.. Wilson when he
uttered such sentiment?
Mr.. Wilson even despairs of free
government, for he said we are "be-
ing rapidly sobered, though unap-
palled, by the truth forced upon us
that Of all governments free
government is the most complex and
difficult, and, Judging from the world Is
experience, the most uncertain and
short lived"
| beg to assure Mr.. Wilson that the
government of the United States,
resting as it does upon the will OF q
free people, is safe and secure-quite
as secure as the governments that
are conducted by the titled few-and
that free people like ours, capable
of governing themselves and having
SO demonstrated for more than one
hundred years, will be alert enough
to see to it that no Industrial policy
shall long continue in this country
that will lower the conditions of its
people to the level of their European
rivals, and rob them of their dignity
and independence.

Can Yon Understand Ihiso

If the nation furnished safe despos-
tories for the people to keep their
money, it would prevent bankers from
drawing but one interest. When a
banker loans money. 1T comes back into
his possession for safe keeping and is
loaned again-six to ten times. If he
loaned his money taking it out of
either his bank or the national depos-
ltory, it would not come back to him
and he would have no further benefit
from it. Do you understand why the
bankers oppose with big lobby, well
armed with Doodle, every attempt to
establish national repositories or even
postal savings banks? 1t is not the
bankers who are green, dear public.
it is you. 1t is not the privilege of
drawing interest on bank notes that
cost them nothing, but the drawing of
six to ten separate interests on each
dollar that is in existence.

Duped by the Dailies,

From 1870 to 1898 inclusive there
has been appropriated by Congress for
the alleged Improvement of rivers and
harbors the gross sum of $19l, 577. 917.-
OF. and yet we hear no cry of paternal-
ism from the trust combines or their
vel, ers, the daily press. Such appro-
priations were made for alleged public
good in that it facilitated commerce
and were for the common good. Rail
roads perform the same functions, ex
cept that they do so much more effect
lively. Strange, isn't it, that river and
harbor improvement should be PROMPT
ed by atriotism and a broad public
spirit while the proposition for the
Government to build and own railroads
is denounced as rank paternalism.
Come to think, guess it must be that
railroads constructed and owned blythe
Government would be a great source
of revenue and of lasting benefit to the
public, while the appro riations to
clean out rivers and harbors furnish
fat jobs for partisan favorites and SO
far as the public is concerned is so
much money thrown away. Great
heads that manipulate the daily
press" Voters, confine your ideas
and information to tariff schedules a
few years longer, and the jobbers will
get the little which you have left.

WhOOp 'en Up!

London dispatches state that as a
result OF stopping the coinage of silver
Indian government bonds have risen
in price, and evidence it as q good
omen. The people have to pay the
bonds. If the bonds double in value
it will take twice as many days work
to pay them. The people then lose
one-half of their labor, which the
bondholdels gain. You bet the ruling
classes think it is evidence of prosper
ity which forces the people to work for
them twice as long for the same pay.
This is the same kind of villainy that
was played in this country when bonds
payable in the greenbacks with which
they were purchased were made pay
able in coin. and then by demonetizing
silver made payable in gold alone.
That is just the reason this country is
going through the era of prosperity
she is. All caused because the peo-
pie are ignorant of the laws and the
effects of the laws on their condition.
All these things have to run their full
course to awaken the people and pre-,
pare them for the great change that is
coming. Whoop 'em up, traitors OF
the people, you are doing work that
will end in good.

l. What is the record of Boss
Tweed, who, with junta of state Of

of more than S10,000,000? This COM
bination of statesmen was composed
exclusively OF Democrats.
2. The Credit Mobilier combine,
which pocketed millions of the hard

largely of Democrats.
3. The "back-salary grabbers, who
filched from our Government more
than 100000 for services as Con-
gressmen, comprise many of the lead
ing Democrats of the land.
f. State officials without number
appear on the criminal list as default

which are two state tIeasurers Of

paralleled outrage was committed.
Claiming to march under the banner
of free trade, Democracy has been gull

monstrous monopoly the world has
ever known the sugar trust. They
have placed every thing that the farm
er raises on the free list, and imposed
heavy tariff on all the farmer con-
sumes, yet they claim they are the
friends to the laboring man. 1t would
require degree of idiocy greater than
prevails in this country to permit such
wanton and fallacious claims to be en-
dorsed or believed by the people. Not

Don't Show business Revival.

A Washington dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer dated Oct. 16 does
not furnish much evidence of business
revival. This dispatch says:
Government receipts from all re-
sources for the first half of the current
month aggregated about $4,000, 900,
and for the entire month is not likely
to exceed S20,00O.000. against about
$22, 900, 900 last month. Customs re
ceipts SO far this month amount to
only $1,000, 600, which would point to
about S1l,750,00O for the monte,
against fully $50, 100000 last month.
Internal revenue receipts for tn first
half of October amounts 10 -, $50, 900,
which is com aratively considerable
falling off from last month, when the
receipts for the entire month were
IS, $50, 900, and for the first hall OF
September more than S3,000,000.
Government expendii ures for first
half of October were about SIS, 000.-
900, and will run close to S30,O00,O0
by he end of the month. So there is
q fair prospect of an excess of expendi-
lures over receipts during the month
of 100000 or $l0,000,00 deficit in
September.
No one, without it is Democratic
politician, can see any prosperity in
these reports. Only little deficiency
in prospect of say SS,0O0.00O. A little
matter of that sort each month does
not amount to much. Prosperity goes
right along, all the same.
