Turning Our Attention to Cheese.

With protection to the manufacturer
of full cream cheese, prospects for bet
ter prices, wider and more steady mar
kets are now in sight. Our facilities
for producing cheese Of the very best
quality are very superior. Cool nights,
abundance of clover, oats, alfalfa and
other excellent dairy feeds, with &C.
cessible supplies of pure cold water we
can make cheese of the highest and
best qualities.
The foreign markets for cheese are
far more extensive than for butter, and
the product can be transported and
handled at considerable less expense
1t may appear to some that the mar
gin of profit is not so great as with but
fer. but the cheese, having a wider
market, will continue to be in greater
demand. aad present prospects are
good for remunerative prices.

TACOMA, WASHINGTON, July 2o, 1896.
The Republican State Central Committee OF
voters of this commonwealth invitation to
unite upon the vital issues presented by the Ma
tional Republican platform. These issues trans
cend the environments of party discipline and
personal ambitions, and rooted in the patri-
otto impulses of the conservative and stalwart
elements OF our people, to preserve in their pur-
ity our national character and institutions and
to advance to the utmost limit the individual
prosperity ofevery citizen.
Standing security upon the issues the Repub1i-
can party Is today the sole exponent of those
principles through which government has
been enabled to survive and take rank the
foremost nation of the world, and the perpetuity
of the nation and the welfare of the people is gas
deeply concerned in their maintenance as
when disunion threatened its destruction.
While many do not agree questions of f.
nance, ratios, tariffs and other governmental
policies all must concedc that the Republican
party Is the only national party gifted with the
stability of purpose and ability in performance
to be able to conceive perfect and put in opera
tiou safe and useful reforms, demanded by the
changing circumstances and needs of a great
people.
False pledges, false craftsmanship and stupid
ity in grasping the pressing needs of the hour,
have demonst ated the futility of casting upon
our opponents the trust of government and the
promotion of legislative reforms.
We therefore appeal to the Intelligence and
patriotism of our fellow citizens to earnestly
list in the active service Of sitting at the polls
all herecies which lead to national and private
dishonor; which seek to undermine and over
and to ultimately cast our country into the vor-
tex of socialism and anarchy.
