EXCELSIOR SLATE
ROOF PAINT

Why not make your roofs last a
lifetime, and save the expense of
a new roof every five or ten years.
1t can be done with even less eX
pense and care than you bestow on
your sidings, because our roofing
material costs less. If you are
careful to use genuine Slate Paint,
and have it thoroughly applied, it
will resist the effects of water and
wind
FROM THOSE WHO KNOW.
KIRKsvILLE, Mo. APRIL 1, '95.
Excelsior Slate Paints all right.
I have my roofs painted with it;
it is the best paint l have ever put
on them.

Excelsi II Slate Paint is better
than any other paint. Why! On
tin roofs it makes an even, smooth
body; does nat crack or curl. On
shingles it goes up under the ends
and sides one-half inch or more
and goes in the wood making it as
hard as slate, which no other paint
will do. Paint guaranteed to stand
on tin roof three years, on shingle
roofs five years.
If a roof does not stand and
needs painting, l i'll repaint it
free of charge. c. F. FRAZER.

The Republican National Con
was called 10 order at 1920
p. m. tuesday by Chairman Car
ter, of the National Committee,
who named c. w. Fairbanks, of
Indianapolis, temporary chairman
and the work of the great conven-
ton was begun. Tuesday, We'd

were spent in the preliminary.pro
ceedings of the convention, and
shortly after ! O'Clock Thursday
afternoon the roll of states was
called for the presentation of can
didates. Baldwin of Omaha. pre-
sented Allison; Lodge presented
Reed; DePew presented Morton,
and Foraker presented McKinl ey.
Hastings presented Quay.
The roll of States on the vote
began Immediately after the pre-
sentation of candidates. Mckin-
ley was nominated on first ballot
receiving 467 = votes. Below we
give the financial and tariff planks
OF the platform.
THE FINANCIAL PLANK.
The Republican parts is unrc-
servedly for sound money. 1t
caused the enactment of the law
providing for the resumption of
specie payment in 1879; since then
every dollar has been as good as
gold.
We are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated 10 de-
base our currency or impair the
credit of our country. We are,
therefore, opposed to the free coin
age of silver except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world,
which we p edge ourselves to pro-
mote; and until such an agreement
can be obtained, the existing gold
standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper cur
rency must be maintained at pali-
ty with gold, and we favor all
measures designed to maintain in
violably the obligations of
the United States and all our
money, either coin or paper at the
present standard, the standard of
the most enlightened nations of
the earth

Mex inley is the man.

Everybody turn out to the
ratification at Opera House Satur-
day night.
The finances have always
been safe in the hands of the Re
publican party.
Mckinley was nominated
on first ballot Thursday afternoon.
His vote was 467 y, Reed "a.
Free silver will at least teach
Democracy that it has thousands
of free voters in different parts of
the country.
Some Democ rats call Cle,e-
land a traitor to hi party. Per
haps: but better that than traitor
to his country.
-Georgia has a Moses in
Congress, and he seems to have
aided in breaking the administra-
ton tablets in that state.
The wishes of the people
and instructions count for naught
against the money of a railroad
king like Dick Kerens.
President Cleveland dec
laration that his successor "wlll
find the office with a mortgage on
it, proves he is not averse to dis
cussing his own official transac-
tions.
THE army worm turns out
to have been another of those ex-
aggerated evils we meet on every
side. If it were not for the calam-
ity inhationist, the farmers and
every body else would be happier.
Speculation as to the probable
Chicago platform is a waste of
time and thought. Democratic
declarations of 'unalterable prin-
ciple," mean little even when
they carry prospect for victory.
Those Democratic editors
who have been trying for some
time to frame the Republican plat
form at st. Louis should not feel
in the least humiliated or detected.
A great deal of better advice is
wasted in the world every day.
A medical expert has an
nounced that John J. ingalls, is
good for twenty or thirty years
more of active life. With the
Democratic party on the verge of
dissolution, John j. seems likely
to outlive his usefulness, but ma
ture delights in occasional in
stances of prodigality.
The Populists after all do
not carry the fiat absurdy so far
as they might Abundant as wa
ter is this season in ponds and
streams, nobody has reported
finding strips ofpaper afloat labeled
"a carp" "a cat fish, and the
like. Let us be thankful because
they have not given us fiat fish.
"A Chicago ashologer pre-
diets Democratic triumph next
fall, and some papers of the party
give his forecast CONSPICUOUS place
in their columns If the Demo
Gratis are reduced to their stars for
hope, it is truly sad to think how
even the prevalent cloudy weather
has fought against them this sea
son.
Delegates at the convention
this week should not look upon
the tornado ravages as permanent
designations of the metropolis of
the Mississippi Valley. They
should remember that St Louis
always rises superior 10 adversely
and that as the most solid city in
the country it will readily fall into
line with the new prosperity for
which they are now arranging.
We give the financial a d
tariff planks adopted at the st.
Louis convention. They are all
that believers in protection TO
home industries and sound money
could wish. That they will re-
ceive the Endorsement of the peo-
pie at the polls in November is
beyond all doubt, as these plank S
mean business and prosperity, for
the whole country and 10 all classes.

THE TARIFF PLANK.

LII l. 'CAklE + PIA ANh.
"We renew and emphasize our
allegiance to the policy of protec-
ton as the bulwark of Am erican
industrial independence, and the
foundation of American develop
ment and prosperity. This true
A merican policy taxes foreign
products and encourages home in
dustry; it puts the burden of reve-
nue. on foreign goods; it secures
the American market for the
American producer; it upholds the
American standard of wages for
the American workingman; it puts
the factory by the side of the farm
and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand
and prices; it diffuses general
thrift and founds the strength of
all on the strength of each. In its
responsible application it is just,
fair and impartial, eqeally oppos
ed to foreign control and domestic
monopoly, to sectional discrimina-
tion and individual favoritism.
"We denounce thepresent Dem
ocratic tariff as sectional, partisan
and QUE sided, and disastrous to
the Treasury and destructive of
business enterprise, and we de-
mand such an equitable tariff on
foreign imports which come into
competition with American pro-
ducts as will not only furnish ade-
quate revenue for the necessary
expenses of the Government, but
will protect American labor from
degradation and the level of other
lands. We are not pledged to auy
particular schedule. The question
of rates is a practical question, to
be governed by the conditions of
the time and of production. The
ruling and uncompromising princi-
pie is the protection and develop
ment of American labor and in
dustry. The country wants a
right settlement and then it wants
rest
"The Republican party renews
its pledge for the protection of all
American industries against for
eign competition, and declares it's
faith that the supremacy of the
United States among the nations
is the result of such apolicy. We
believe in liberal reciprocity and
just retaliation of the golden rule
of commerce to all future legisla-
ton affecting the tariff and foreign
trade. We believe the repeal of
the reciprocity arrangements ne
gotiated by the last Republican
administration was national C; Z
lamity, and demand their renewal
and extension on such terms as
will equalize our trade with other
nations and remove the restrit Q
tions that now Distract the sale Il
American products in the ports of
Europe, and secure new markets
for the products of our farms, for
ests and factories.n
1--WE believe that protection and
reciprocity are twin measures o.
Republican policy and go hand in
hand. Democratic rule has reek.
lessly struck down both, and both
must be re established. Protec-
tion for what we produce; free ad-
mission for the necessaries of life
which we do not produce: recipro
cal agreements of mutual interest.
which gain open markets to others.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Section, Gil
mate and Crop Service, Weather
Bureau, for the week ending June
18th, says:
The past week was quite cool,
the temperature averaging from
4 too degrees per day below the
normal, but in most sections there
was less rainfall than for some
weeks past, and the conditions
generally were much more favora-
BILE to the farmer. In a fe coun-
les in the central and northern
sections the rainfall for the week
exceeded 9 inches, but over about
half the state it was less than 1
inch. In few localities very
heavy showers occurred doing
much damage by washing.
In a number of counties corn
could be plowed during the entire
week and in nearly all the work
was in progress by the 11th, but
in few of the eastern counties
very little could be done. Corn
that has been worked is generally
doing finely, but large per cent.
of the crop is still very fond and
much corn on low land is in a
very unpromising condition. In
the southwest some fields have
been plowed up and replanted. A
large amount of planting and re-
planting has been done during the
week.
Wheat harvest and clover cut
ting are under full headway in the
central and northern counties. In
some of the southern counties har-
vest is practically over. More or
less damage from chinch bugs,
scab and rust is reported in near
ly all sections.
Oats are rustins badly in some
places but where not injured by
overflow or standing water are
generally doing finely. eadows
and pastures are in good condi-
ton, as rule, and some meadows
that were injured by army worms
have improved considerably.
In some of the southeastern coun-
ties cotton is doing we'll but in
others it has been injured by the
low temperature and continued
wet weather and is very grassy.
Wire worms have also done CON
siderable damage in places. Flax
and potatoes are generally doing
well.
Fruit is still falling badly in
some counties. Black berries and
early peaches and apples are
ripening.
