Mons Anderson, the merchant
prince of La Crosse and a prominent
Scandinavian who has trained in the
democratic party during the past
twenty-five years has become dis
gusted with democratic tariff and
financial legislation and renounced
his allegiance to that party, and an
nOunced his purpose to support the
republican ticket and the platform
OF principles upon which it has been
placed before the people. In the
course of an interview, Mr.. Ander-
son made the following observations:
mo business man with any sense can
be democrat after the experience of
the past year. 1t has been a year of
calamities. First the banks began to
fail. Confidence was rudely shaken.
Factories began to close, workingmen
were thrown out of employment
another calamity. The democratic
party was on trial and it was found
wan ting. 1t showed itself incom-
petent to handle the money question.
The Sherman law was only repealed
by the aid of the republican votes,
and nothing was done TO substitute
anything for it. In its tariff policy
the democratic party revealed its
utter incompetency. 1t really seems
as if the whole tariff was framed for
the benefit of foreign countries, and
as if the democratic party was de
termined to reduce the American
working man to the level of his
European competitor.

As rule we place little reliance in

As rule we place little reliance in
assertions that hundreds or thousands
of democrats will vote the republican
ticket. We believe, however, that to
some extent at least, this year will
prove an exception to the general rule.
Democrats will furnish two factors in
increasing the difference between the
republican and democratic vote. One
of these will be in democrats voting
the republican ticket, and the other
will be in their staying at home from
election and thus reducing the vote
of their party. This may not prove
to be the case in Pierce county TO any
appreciable extent, but in manufac-
turing and wool growing districts they
will cut an important figure. While
democratic politicians may scout this
idea they will find when the votes are
counted that it is tenable grounds.

The extreme reluctance with which
Senator David b. Hill accepted the
gubernatorial nomination rendered
him by the Saratoga convention indi-
Gates full realization upon his part,
of the gravity of the situation so far
as he is personally concerned. Before
accepting the nomination, he made
Herculean efforts to harmonic the
discordant elements of his party, but
with what will prove Indifferent
success. His nomination was very I'M
fortunate and placed him in an en-
barassing position. His ambition to
become the democratic nominee for
the Presidency in 1896, is surpassed
only by his desire TO be elected to that
high Office and his refusal to accept
the gubernatorial nomination would
have effectually retired him from the
possibilityof securing the Presiden tial
nomination two years later, while
his acceptance and subsequent defeat
at the polls in Novem Der will have a
like effect. He is playing for a great
stake, and will be INSCRIPTIONS in his
methods for winning.

Democratic Tactics.

One of the most reprehens
methods now being employed by the
democratic managers to obtain votes
for their party at the coming election
is their attempt TO coerce old soldiers
into voting the democratic ticket as
the price of prompt action upon PEN
sion claims. The plan for so doing is
characteristic of the democratic par
ty and is being carried out in the fol-
lowing manner: Clerks in the pension
Office are making out lists of appli-
cants for pensions and these lists are
furnished the democratic candidate
for congress in the districts in which
the applicants reside, no claims to be
considered previous to election day,
unless il shall first have been endorsed
by the democratic candidate for the
House of Representatives. 1t is said
that lists containing over fifty thou
sand names have been furnished such
congressional candidates in Indiana
alone. The inference is plain--to Sc
cure prompt actlon upon his claims,
an applicant for a pension must salts
fly the democratic candidate for con-
gress that he will vote the democratic
ticket. The old soldiers have already
attested TO their patriotism by offer
ing themselves as willing sacrifices for
their country's good, and thousands
of them will scornfully refuse to now
vote to continue the democracy in
power upon any such condition. So
base prostitution of the functions
of the pension office should receive the
seveTest condemnation Of the boys in
blue who will never have occasion to
complain of such basely partisan prac-
tices in that office when it shall pass
again into the hands of a republican
administration March 4th, 1897.

The scattering" voter who may
feel inclined to vote the populist or
prohibition ticket to punish the repub-
lican party for the real or imaginary
shortcomings of some of its memb ers,
will do well to reflect upon the fact
that individual members of the repub-
lican party can stand just as much of
this depressing rule of the democratic
party a. can the would-be regulator
who votes against his own and his
neighbours interests for some fancied
grievance. No one who has his own
welfare at heart can afford to vote
upon side issues under existing condi-
tiOns, though he may be Importuned
by played-out politicians to do so.

Long Words.

In the days of our grandfathers,
when cities were few and far between
in America, and the bulk of our
people were countrymen and villagers,
the spelling school," held in the
winter evenings, was source of
much innocent amusement and inter
est. Every leader hunted up lists of
long and unusual words, favorites
being such as ''incomprehensibility,"
"unavoidableness," "syzygy," ''phan-
tasmagoria' and ''schism.' Our
language is not, however, remarkable
for words of great length, except
those not of Saxon origin. The Ger
mar language furnishes a large
number of compounded and polly
syllable words-many more than the
English. 1t is metaphorically that
we look for long words in our Ameri
can speech. "'never' is long word
is proverb in example. One of the
conundrums of former days was:
What is the longest word in the
English language? Smiles: because
there is mile between the first and
last letters (s-mile-s). Burlington"
is a longer word than Smiles"
because if you spell it out by travelling
over the Burlington Route" you
find you have travelled seven thous-
and miles from the beginning at
Chicago to the terminals at Peoria,
st. Louis, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Joseph,
Denver, Deadwood, Cheyenne and
Billings. Write to any agent for

If the populists would recognize the
fact that the real interests of capital
and labor are identical they would
abandon their party and vote the
republican ticket. The employment
of capital in the operation of indus
trial enterprises, furnishes labor for
the working classes, and the policy of
the republican party is to stimulate
the investment of capital in manu-
featuring that labor may be employed.
The tendency of democratic legisla-
tion is TO intimidate capital, and thus
curtail manufacturing, consequently
shutting off avenues of employment
for working men. The attempt now
being made by labor to down capital
if successful would prove fully as dis
astrous to itself as to its alleged ad-
yersary, and this is fact VIII IN the
duped followers of so-calleo labo lead
ers will do we'll to recognize. The
leaders themselves know this, but if
they acted upon an admission of it,
their occupation Of bowling for the
rights of labor at comfortable salary
would soon cease. The head leaders
in the labor movement are well paid
for their time by those who are dane
ing to their music and for that reason
will labor diligently to keep up the
pOpulist organization, but the rank
and file who are paying the bills and
receiving no return for their money,
will do well to abandon their unscrupu-
lous leaders and place their votes
where they will furnish greater assur-
ances of an improved condition of
affairs to be attained by beneieent
legislation, which can be secured only
by a restoration of the republican
party TO power in the councils Of the
nation.

Yours truly,

We do not know that the author
of the above is given TO irony, or that
he lays any claims to distinction as a
humorous writer, but the attentive
reader of the JOURNAL during the
pending campaign viii doubtless OBJ
serve in the above epistle small vein
if not large artery of quiet humor.
While tn, above letter is somewhat
funny. and has been the source of
considerable innocent amusement for
US, we are constrained to believe that
viewed from the elevated standpoint
of rigorous critic it will not rank
with the greatest efforts of either Bill
Nye, Bret Harte, or George w. Peck.
1t is painfully evident that some de-
signing wretches have been pulling
just enough democratic wool over the
eyes of the Democratic candidate for
the assembly to blind him as to the
real attitude of the JOURNAL toward
local candidates arrayed against the
G.. o. p. The pencil pusher ON this
paper has studiously endeavored to so
conduct himself in the treatment of
all local candidates rs not to be justly
subject to the charge of Offensive
partisanship," and nominees and poll
ticians whose nerves are at all sensi-
tive TO the touch of political wires,
are kindly advised to retire from the
political arena.

The better element of the intelli-
gent ladies of New York, encouraged
by the success of the ladies of Ken
lucky who organized to defeat w. c.
p. Breckenridge, have formed an or
ganization to aid in the overthrow OF
Tammany, the most corrupt political
machine in the country. The recent
development in official circles in New
York city show depraved condition
there which puts TO shame the worst
phase of the old Tweed dynasty in its
palmiest days. Well directed efforts
of intelligent and persevering women
who are prompted by pure motives
cannot fail to have beneficial effect
upon political organizations, and it is
hoped their attack upon the Tam
many tiger may prove victorious one.

In 1861 a rebellion was organized

In 1861 a rebellion was organized
against the national administration
t. overthrow the government, divide
the union, and establish a nation
with slavery and free trade in the
southern portion of the United
States. The national administration
was republican, the opposition form
ing the rebellious element was COM
posed exclusively of that following
which had opposed the election of
Lincoln.
To preserve the nation from de-
struction the government was
forced TO employ those extraordinary
measures which while they resulted
In preserving the national territory
intact, abolishing slavery and
establishing the government upon
an everlasting foundation ended in
the accumulation of the enormous
Indebtedness of three thousand mil
lion dollars. But by the wise en-
enlargement of business and internal
improvement, trade and the resources
of the country were so largely develop
ed aud stimuli that all classes of
people were busily and protitably
engaged. Money was plentiful and
easy TO be obtained. Prosperity was
steadily continuous. Business was
healthy and universal all over the
land. The people were happy and
contented. The republican admins
trations steadily and rapidly reduced
the national debt, without imposing
any burdens upon the people. They
paid the enormous interest of over
one hundred millions OF dollars on the
national debt yearly, paid one hundred
and fifty millions year to the dis
abled defenders of the Union and
reduced the national debt from over
three thousand million, three billion)
dollars to $950,000, 900. All this was
done while business doomed, and no
one was overburdened with taxation.
Then the thoughtless, the irresponsi-
BILE and the ''outs" wanted change.
They got it quick. ''The divinely APP
pointed father of Maria Halper's boy
Oscar" rose out of the fog of obscurity
to lead the democracy out OF the
wilderness of sin. IL Was one of those
fatal accidents that sometimes befall
apathetic nations. AS soon as men
saw the full measure of this accom-
plished fact they stopped to think.
The result is painfully apparent.
The progress of the nation stopped
and turned backward. A pail fell
upon the land. Business ventures
went back with a crash. Manufactors
closed their mills, industries were
paralyzed. Banks suspended pay
ments; railroads went into the hands
of receivers. Thousands OF men were
ruined. Enforced idleness, strikes,
riots, Coxey, the devil and desolation
spread out over the land. The
national debt instead Of being re-
duced as under republican admins
trations has been increased SCI, zoo, 900
in one year. All this under demo-
cratic reform and economy, a shame
less sham.

Tariff bill Wilson who has been to
Europe to receive the plaudits of
English free traders for the fight he
made in their interests in the last
United States congress, finds his po-
litical fences down in Virginia in a
sadly demoralized state, and the chan
ces are that he will not be in the next
congress. There are lot of other
congressman whose constituents will
retire them from service at the close
of the next session. In large manu-
featuring districts democratic candi-
dates for congress are on the de-
fensive, and their defense is one which
will satisfy neither the capitalist who
has his money invested in industrial
enterprises nor the working man who
has been thrown out of employment
by democratic tariff legislation.

him self and his country real service
by turning out and helping to swell
the republican majority to be rolled

November election will be a prelimin-
AIRY contest TO the great struggle be-
tween the two leading political parties

campaign of 1896 and as such should

are best calculated to secure a revival

The democratic congress increased
the tax on whiskey. For this reason
we should think the democrats them
selves would refuse to vote the demo-
cratic ticket as they will now have to
pay more for their drinks. OF course
this is in line with the democratic
argument that the internal or sin
fernal'' revenue tax increases the
price to consumers. Seq

The high standard of virtue form
erly assumed by the prohibitionists of
Dunn county proved to be base alloy
when tested by the seductive wiles of
the wicked populist politicians. Over

Gratis or republicans. There has been
no grounds for any suspicion that the

ticket. 1t doesn't mince matters at
