VENEZUELA ON THE FENCE
SympatIizes with Cuba, But Is Strict
ly \ eutral

Venezuela has taken no decided stand
either for or against Cuban independence.
The popular sentiment is undoubtedly for
the latter, but President Crespo, in his
message to the venezuelan congress, deals
mildly with the difficulty, as follows:

claiming separation from Spain. As is
natural, this has awakened sentiments
of sympathy in all independent America.
which have caused in Venezuela popular
but peaceful manifestations
Before the government of the republic
some questions have been raised in favor
OF Cuba caused by persons interested, but
which have not been attended to because
of the respect held for the strictly neutral
duties which the nations observe between
them. May the public men, both in Spain
and Cuba find concifatory means TO soon
put an end to the situation"

body acked their brains TO find out what

historic Baraga-a county rich iii
varied resources, yet never honored
by receiving recognition in the
legislative halls OF our state capitol.
When we consider the fact that
this portion of the peninsula was
first inhabited and that much credit
is due the early pioneers who found
here in our peerless and natural
harbor a home of refuge while ex-
ploring and developing our rich
Resources. And when we take into
consideration our geographical loca-
tion--the connecting link between
the great copper and iron produc-
ing districts OF the world, at point
where our people have the oppor-
tGnity OF observing not only the
Legislative wants of our own locali-
~, but that of the surrounding
counties, When we know that
other counties, some newly born,
others obscure, and many less i'm
portant have received honorable
recognition by representation, it
seems natural that lenient Baraga 5

Triedand Found True.

UNDER the Republican poll
cy of protection during a period
OF twenty eight years, the in
terest- bearing national debt was
reduced 81. .903. 9l2, l65, or at the
rate of S6S, 900. 900 annually.
During the past three years,
under the Democratic policy of
tariff for revenue only, the in
terest-bearing national debt has
been increased 1862, 602 245, an
annual increase in indebtedness
of SS7, ,534, 0S2.
During the Republican adj
ministration the United States
prospered as no other nation on
the earth ever did. During the
last Democratic administration
industries suffered immense
losses. and thousands of work
ingmen were thrown out of en-
ployment, and grim starvation
is staring them in the face.
The Republican party has
fulfilled its pledges in the past,
The Democratic party is the
party of broken promises.

the Jail. through which he crawled,
the space being only about SXl2

were considered strong and safe,

As regards Mr.. Williams it can
ttruthfully be said that he is one OF
