Republicans Will flake Their Own
Platforms.

The Republican party, true to
the advice and example of Lincoln,
is going to make the campaign
this year upon its own ground.
not upon its opponents. That is
to say, the Republicans of the
country are not going to help the
Democratic leaders obscure the
issue on which their party has
been wrecked and the admins
tration stranded by taking up
every new incident about which a
hue and cry may be raised. On
the contrary, they will not be led
off by side issues, but they will
everywhere courageously insist
that the people in November shall
Judge the administration and its
party by their works and not by
any new and boastful protestations
by them. They will give due
credit for any sporadic outbursts
of patriotic fervor for our rights in
foreign countries that the admins
tration may choose to indulge in
and rejoice that it IS at last on the
right side of a great question,
which is where the Republicans
have always been.--Wm. Mckinley

THE "TOUCH" OF FREE=TRADE.

The National credit is insepera-

growth and prosperity, and if you
touch the latter with an unfriendly
hand you will seriously injure the

THE "CRI1E'' OF FREE-TRADE

A veteran Republican states
man, speaking in Washington
early in 1893, made this remark
able prediction:
look forward with the gravest
apprehenslons to the next three
years in this country. If the
Democratic policies, as announced
in the recent campaign, are carried
out, there must be a more or less
complete prostration Of business.
The people now prosperous will
become poor, and the general dis
tress that will be produced by
breaking down the Protective
system will lead TO an appalling

these hgureS, which state the
sum total Of the country's steallngs
of the kind that are especially
stimulated by hard times, are
exceedingly impressive. They
show that the average of such
stealings for the four years during
which Harrison was president was
about sII,5Oo,ooo year, and that
it has been increased for the past
three years, while Cleveland has
been President, to an average of
about SI8,5oo,ooo year. In
other words, thieving, defalcations,
embellishments and kindred offenses
have increased fully 65 per cent.

second term.
1t is not too much to say that
the vast aggregate of human
misery, desperation and crime
experienced in this country, as
shown by its court records, has
been greater during the second
term of Grover Cleveland than
was ever before known in the
history of the United States. 1t
should go down into history as
the Administration of All Agonies.

It is now known that tho LiUer is the

The LiCe7' acts as q filter, removing al
impurities from the blood.
The LjCer secretes bile, which assists
in digestion, destroys disease germs, re-
moves ali waste and poisonous matter
from the system through the bowels.
Liver diseases are caused by over eat
ing, improper food, alcoholic drinks,
exposure, or it is inherited.
When the LiUer becomes affected, all
the organs and tissues Of the body suf-
fer; a general lassitude, weakness and
dizziness follows; headache becomes fire.

matter is absorbed, and waste tissues
retained in the blood. The blood rap

is affected, the food sours in the stomach
causing belching, heartburn, sour

Increase Of crime of all kinds.

increase Of crime of all kinds. l
believe that Mr.. Cleveland's second
term, if he follows the policies
marked out in the platform on
which he was elected, will have
terrible consequences. We shall
be lucky if we escape great riots
and local instructions. Murders
and suicides will be reported in
startling numbers and robbery and
theft will be rampant.
Three years Of Mr.. Cleveland's
term have passed, lacking three
weeks, and we are able to see how
true prophet this statesman was.
In the last year of the Harrison
administration the number Of
murders in the United States was a
few less than $500. In 1894 the
number had risen to $500, and
last year it reached the unprece-
dented total of $500. In 1892
the number of suicides recorded
in the United States was $500.
Self distractions have steadily
increased every year since, and the
number of them during 1896 was
$3.50. Thus it appears that
homicides have increased by over
| 50 per cent. during this admins
tration, and suicides nearly to the
same extent.
Turning now to the record of
crimes against property, such as
emLezzling, defaulting, forgery,
and other forms of thieving, we
find that the increase during the
three past years has been not less
startling. The summary of defal-
cations by years from 1889 to 1895,
inclusive, is as follows for the
United States:

this to say regarding the anti
Upham sentiment, as shown by
recent interviews with members OF
the legislature:
1t is to be regretted, that the
interviews as published, show a
wide spread individual dissatisfac-
ton with the course the governor
has seen fit to pursue. This dis
content would seem to be too
general to attribute it to the
opposition of sore headed office
seekers. Whatever public senti-
