head. Has your clothing become
any cheaper or better?
Your potatoes, which under the
Mckinley law, we're protected by
duty of % cents per bushel, are now
admitted free and although the
Democratic Agricultural Depart
ment report crop far below the
average yet they are slow sale at 80
cents per bushel; and so it is with
every product Of the farm. VIII
you vote for a continuation Of the
policy Of Free Trade:
Lumbermen Of Garrett, many Of
you voted for a change two years
ago; voted for that prosperity the
Democrats promised but which did
not come. The Canadian Iumbe
man is jubilant. But what has be
come of your market? Your en-
ployer cannot sell his lumber and
IN many cases the mills have stopped
or are running on short time. How
much more are you getting for your
labor since the Democratic blizzard
struck the business of the country.
and where are the good times that
were promised? viii you vote
again for that party that took your
markets away from you and gave
them to the Canadian lumbermen?
viii you again be misled by the
promises Of the Democratic orators
who have failed to redeem one SIM
gle pledge they made to the people
two years ago?
Miners of Garrett, as you look
out into the future and think of
Democratic success and free coal it
is not very bright nor encouraging.
IS it? Yet many Of you voted for
McKMg who voted for free coal.
You sent petitions down to the
| Democratic Congress asking that
The duty on coal might be retained.
Were your prayers needed? No!
True, the tariff was only reduced to
40 cents per ton, but the threat of
free coal is freely made and no
doubt will be carried out If we are
so unfortunate to endorse the ar
ton Of the last session of Congress
at the polls. You now have a
chance to make your petitions
heard and felt. VIII you do it?
Then vote for Wellington,
Old soldiers, you who fought the
battles in the dark days Of 81, how
is it with you? Mary of you we're
deceived two years ago by the Dem
ocratic cry that they were just as
friendly to you as the Republicans,
But how do you stand to-day? A
great many Of you have had bitter
experience Of the great love of the
Democracy for you. Do you en-
dorse the policy of Hoke Smith?
Do you favor that unjust policy
which has fraught so much trouble,
so much want to'you and your brave
comradas? Will you, can you en-
dorse that infamous policy by your
vote on the 9th of November? As
a son Of one OF the "boys" | do not
believe you will. | do not think
that you can any longer vote for
that party which declares in favor
of liberal pensions and then reduces
the appropriations for pensions
more than twenty-nine millions of
dollars in one year. Can you vote
in favor of the party that made you
so many and such fair promises aud
then dismissed over four times as
many Of your comrades from the
Interior Department as were ap-
pointed? Can you endorse by your
vote the speech made by Democratic
Congressman Meredith of Virginia,
in Fredericksburg in which he
said; "There are now on the PEI
sion rolls and receiving pay $4,000
women, most of whom are without
character" Show by your vote
that although your comrades have
gone to join the silent majority vet
you VIII still defend their widows,
Men Of Garrett, let us think ser1-
ously Of the duty we owe to God
and our country and on the 9th of
November vote IN favor of peace,
| progress and prosperity, and when
the smoke of battle shall have rolled
away and 1t is found that the Re-
publican party has been returned to
