Aud the Republicans say that Billy"
trucked to that British company. Read
this
without boastng, | may say that it Is
not in our lineage or character anywhere to
long be underlings. This is the real mean
ing of the aspiration of the great reform
movement in America. 1t is in no selfish,
exutant temper that / thus give you neigh
borly warning Of our plans and expecta-
tions."
Did you say that cur beloved Congress
man forgot for one instant that lie was an
American and a citizen of the greatest coun-
try on the globe? All Americans are ex'
pected to boast a great deal when they go
abroad. They always do it, too. And they
can do it and tell the truth at the same time.
The kind of boastipg is determined by the
culture of the man. If he is a wild west
erner he tells tales of adventure and of the
immense size Of things in this country that
make him a rival of Munchausen at once.
Our best educated and highly cultured men
boast too only differently. Now if any
green eyed Republican tells you that "Bil-
ly" forgot that he was an American while
he was in England, tell him to listen while
Billy" the American, says this speech:
"Now, when released from such vicious
laws, there will lie a new era and a revival
of the American merchant marine, as well
as a steady increase in our exports, both of
food products and manufactured articles
The nations of the world are drawing into
nearer and more neighbOrly intercourse, aud
the manufacturing supremacy of tue world
must eventually pass to that nation which,
having the largest supply, shall apply it to
the highest intelligence and enterprise
We are constantly confirmed in the belief
that our supply is more exhaustless and
more cheaply handled than that of any other
people, and if we continue to be underlings
it is our own fault"
Don't worry Bre'r Republican about VIM.
L. Wilson toadying to John Bull. Chaun-
cy Depew may do it, but Wilson never.
Wm L. Wilson is an American, and you
can't lie hard enough to make the people
believe that he is not working for the inter-
ests of Ameca Grafton Leader.

Mothers Friend What is it Much has
been said and written about it but the half
has not been told 1t is remedy which if
used by Expectant Mothers robs the ordeal
through which they all have to pass of an
incredible amount of suffering and makes
her recovery more rapid.
''If price can be placed on pain, Moth
er's Friend is worth its weight in gold as
an alleviator My wife suffered more in ten
minutes with either of her other two chill
dren than she did altogether with her last,
having previously used four bottles of
Mothers Friend 1t is q blessing to any

Hon. Dan VOORHEES, IN his great speech
two weeks ago, opening the campaign in In
diana, had this to say about the tariff legis
lation of the last Congress The truth is,
as impartial history will record, that for the
last 80 years every species Of financial OPP
PRESTON every instance of business trouble,
every period Of pecuniary distress, every
active influence for evil and unnatural dis
turbances in the channels of trade, every
discrimination against honest industry, and
in favor OF idle, boarded, interest eating
capital, every huge, impracticabe trust,
whether in sugar, whiskey, coal, lumber, or
salt, every grinding monopoly Of whatever
kind or description, every corrupt, gigantic
corporation, combination, syndicate or pool
known to consolidated wealth and educated
yillainy, every cruel, dishonest reduction of
wages, every sl gnant deni Il of justice to
organized labo-. every strike thrust upon Ia
boring men an women to b. put down by
force in the interest Of corporation wealth,
every life lost in such conflicts, and every
tear and sob and groau in the humble homes
of euslaved toll, throughout all the States
of the American Union, are as directly
chargeable and traceable to the bad laws
fastened on the American people by the Re-
publican party as the bitter waters of pol
luted spring are to the poisonous fountains
from which they flow"
