How can the Democratic party
have any claim on the American
people for support in any way.
Weowe all our prosperity for
half q century to the Republican
party. 1t has never advocated
or enacted policy that harmed
the country,
Was 1t not the Republican
policy that almost wiped out our
war debt ? Is it not Democratic
policy that has increased our
debt in time of peace : Was it
not Republican policy that has
made US the richest nation on
earth 7 Is it not Democratic
policy that has been impoverish-
ing us since 1893 /? Was it not
Republican policy that develop.
ed our enormous industrial, min
eral and agricultural interests ?
Is it not Democratic policy that
has been running them ? Was
it not Republican policy that
found new avenues of employ.
nent for, and advanced the wages
of, American labor /? Was il not
Democratic policy that created
Coxey's army Of unemployed and
reduced wages ?''
Farmers should remember that
Bryan is a Free Trader. He
wants free wheat, to come here
from India, Russia and Argentina.
he wants free barley from Cana.
da and Mexico. He wants free
cattle from Canada and Mexico.
Wants free wool from Australia.

Of people believe that everything
WAS too high under protection.
They said free trade would make
goods and products cheap. Their
main argument and their cam.
paign cry was that protection
made things TOO HIGH. Now
this same party mot all of the
party but the Bryan element
are urging the people to adopt
free coinage of silver in order to
make PRICES HIGHER. Is it
possible that any great number
l,of sensible American citizens
will follow bllndly after such
leaders :
When Mr.. Cleveland was elect.
ed what was he urged to do by
his party in order to restore
prosperity ? Did they not say
\ that under the Sherman law we
we're coming. too much silver {?
Under that law this government
h was buying and coming about
\ $4,000, 1000 ounces of silver per
annum. The Democratic party
fastened with all speed in 1893
! to repeal this law and thereby
Sstop the food of silver dollars

this same party is saying elect

made up into so cent dollars and
We will have prosperity. Please

misguided Democratic friends
a little over three years ago took

trade in all our history. We then
had the Mckinley tariff. The
threat of free trade at once

They got rid of the Mckinley
tariff and the crash and wreck

The Revival OF the Motto.

I The motto. whose revival is motel in
the above tito, is the expression IN ar
chitecture of some sentiment to the
place TO which it is applied, and eternal
is it's significance, writes Alice Graham
MoCollin in The Ladies' Home Journal.
II is moro frequently and more notice
ably in domestic architecture than else-
where that tho motto isfound. Scarcely
acountry house of sufficient size TO boast
hall and fireplace but announces III
script or text welcome to all guests or
some appreciation Of the comforts OF it's
four walls. The favorite place for this
motto is over the fireplace, either above
or below tho mantel shelf, and of all the
old ones, EAST or west, home is best,
with its variety Of expressions, is the
favorite "a mans house is his castle, "
'Homo is the resort
OF love, Of Joy, Of peace,
"a man s best things arc nearest him. "
"Our house is ever ut your service"
"You are very welcome" Take the
goods tho gods provide thee"--any one
of these will as appropriately welcome
.he stranger MS the friend.
