We are on the eve of a great
political struggle, one of impor
lance to all the people and to the
workingman more tnan any one
else
Less than two years of Demo
cratic mis-rule and incompetency
have brought US to the most de-
plorable industrial and financial
condition in our country's his
tory. Mills have been closed,
factories shut down, working
men idle. the channels of com
merce filed with the wrecks of
financial depression, Individual
suffering increased and misery
and want staring our working
men in the face where once the
wheels of industry were turning.
All who nave been interested in
our country's welfare are fully
acquaited with the change which
has come over the Industrial
world. 1t is needless to repeat
the story to intelligent readers.
Bringing the nation under the
shadow of free trade and So
called tariff reform" is the we'll
known cause. yet we will be told
by Democratic demagogues that
industries are reviving. Never
once will they mention the fact
that men are receiving from %
to so per cent. less for their SER
vices than under the protective
system. We need but TO con-
trast the present condition of our
country with what it was under
our glorious system of protection
to see the advantages of the
latter In the coming campaign
we will be called upon to contin-
ne the present party in power so
that the work of tariff reform

onslaught on our Industrial and
and agricultural interest and
which in the words of their high
handed leaders, clothed in per

on until every vestige of the
"iniquious and unconstitutional
system of protection is wiped
out AS citizens of a great and
growing country we are called
upon in this hour of peril ard
night to vote for the sacred altar S
of our homes and tiresides and
come out, squarely against a
theory which divests US of an
opportunity of earning an hon
est and honorable living. Vote
for the system which has given
overa quarter of a century of
unexampled prosperity and given
to the world the greatest nation
of all times, and to civilization
the most happy. prosperous and
Industrious people the world has
ever seen. We should come
squarely to the front and by our
ballots bury the iniquitous sys.
TEN forever and save our coun-
try from such calamlties in the
future. Our ticket is already
headed by an able and eloquent
defender of our country's pros
perity. Vote for B. B. Dovener.
Enter bravery into the fight
to once more rescue our homes
andtto ratify the actions of our
fathers that this government 'of
the people. for the people and
by the people" shall continue
great and prosperous. We have
got our best men as leaders who
are not afraid to carry out the
principles they represent; let our
efforts be for harmony and strug-
gle for victory. The greatest
danger is in our apathy and over
confidence. Let us not be slow
in our labors but consider we are
IN a State where we must make
the most important fight of the
nation Arouse and enter into
the fight with our forces well
mustered and labor earnestly and
constantly for victory and sue
