REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION
Is What Has Caused the Trouble the
Country Now Has.

WESTON, Ill, Sept. l2.-Enclosed
find p. O. order for $3.50. Please
step me up a year as I cannot do
without the New DOMINION.
/ hope you will pardon me for this
intrusion as l see the republicans
are making demonstrations as if
they would wipe the earth with de-
mocracy, but they will find few
old mossbaeks on picket duty on
the TANKS,
True the leaders of The democratic
party are confronted by an unpleas
ant situation. They will have to go
to the country with labored explana-
tions of how the party failed to keep
all of its pledges through the oppo-
sition of few republicans.
Every explanation which the dem
ocrats offer will be condemnation
of republican policy-for Mckinley
protection built up the trusts which
defeated democratic tariff reform
Republican obstruction DELAYED
tariff legislation. Republican aid
it possible for democratic traitors to
hold up the country. Republican
legislation threw the country into a
panic and republican extravaganza
and mismanagement brought the
treasury to the verge of bankruptcy.
Democracy failed only where it
was possible for republicanism to
defeat it. The democrats while
showing a measure Of reform can
show that their whole program was
not carried out because of the OBJ
struction of few plutocratic allies
of the republicans who were in the
party. But the republicans have
nothing to offer except the same old
program that has caused all the ills
from which we suffer.
The farmer only asks that the laws
of our country be equal and just;
and that the burdens and the boun
ties incident thereto, like the Jew s
heaven, fall equally upon all people
and all vocations. The farmer is the
creator of nearly all the wealth of
our land, and the welfare of all other
vocations is largely dependent upon
his prosperity.
When the farmer is prosperous
the manufacturer has the best mar
ket for his wares, the merchant col
lect his debts, the educator, the min
lister, the lawyer, the physician and
followers of all other vocations are
well paid AS long as the farmer
gets good price for his products
just so long is the land in which he
lives prosperous. This is because
as soon as the crop is raised the
money is Immediately put into the
hands Of the class of people who
circulate it, and when money circu
lates freely there is plenty fer all.
BY all means there should be laws
passed to protect the farmer from
the speculator, who brings down the
price of products to suit his own
ends. We hope the anti option law
recently passed will suppress this
species of gambling.
In conclusion | will add that it is
estimated that the Mckinley law
has given to Louisiana sugar men
yearly a sum which would buy for
every family in the state two barrels
Patent flour, 200 pounds graduated
sugar, 80 gallons of kerosene oil, so
yards cotton cloth, so yards prints,
so yards blue jeans, l pair rubber
boots, 2 pairs mems shoes, 2 pairs
women's shoes, 10 pounds coffee, and
pounds of tea, besides leaving S25
in bank.
Thousands of the people of Louis
lana have no interest in any sugar
industry. Uncle Samuel would have
been more equitable if he had dis
tributed the groceries and clothing
to the whole state instead Of turn
in them into a subsidy for a compare
lively small number of wealthy per
sons. Truly,
