capital these many months, everyone,
Republicans and Democrats alike. recog-
nizes the necessity that confronts Con-
gress of devising means for supplying

nominate him? 1t would be too bad if
Carlisle should be compelled to hustle

One problem that will undoubtedly
soon come before congress for solution
will be the question of the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. Public senti-

construction, ownership and control by
the Government, for this proposed inter
oceanic water way is necessity, and
will be of too vital Importance to this
country to allow its control to rest in any
way with any European power.

The farmers were told that tariff re-
form would capture the markets of the
world for their produce, and would
cheaper the necessities they would have
to buy. in other words, they were
promised more business and cheaper
living. See how the bluff has worked.
Necessities are just as expensive as ever,
but the exports of farm produce have
fallen in value in 1895 to 1856, 1000, 900
against S456, 100000 in 1892, under Nc,
Kinleyism. This loss of 100000, 900
represents the farmers cOntribu to-
