Shell Lake Waterman, Rep:
Should we renominate Gov. Up
ham? The above is one of the
questions now going the rounds
Of the state press. The Waterman
holds that it would be inexpedient
to renominate a man that has Sc
cured as much opposition to his
administration as he has done.
Again we do not believe that the
party interests can be trusted to a
platform repudiator as Gov. Up
ham showed himself to be in the
treasury relief cases. Again, we
believe the calling of an extra
session of the legislature showed
that he was not in sympathy with
economy or the taxpayers interests.
But our special reasons for op-
posing his denomination are the
treatment we received at his hands
when the bar, the press and the
people of the Eleventh judicial
district all united in asking him to
appoint Judge R. D. Marshall
associate justice, and it should be
borne in mind that we were not
alone, as the press and the bar Of
the entire northern part of the
state was with us, while the state
at large offered no opposition to
our wishes. The governor was
made fully acquainted with all OF
the above facts, in the face Of
which he turned his back to us,
and appointed Judge Webb who
was not looking for the office and
who would not accept it. In this
transaction Gov. Upham repudiated
the public right of his petitioners
with that same indifference that he
did the platform pledges. There
fore, The Waterman does not
believe that Republicans can con-
scientiously rally around and
support him.

SOME REASONS WHY.

These are some of the reasons why
the Republican party favors and advo-
oates the protective policy for Ameri-
csn shipping, namely, that imports on
American bottoms may come In at a
less duty rate than imports upon for
sdgn bottoms:
Il is sound Republican protective doc
trine. 1t puts money into the national
treasury. instead OF taking money out,
as bounties and subsidies do. II simply
creates q preference for American ships
in the carrying of American commerce.
1t was in force for nearly forty years
from the beginning Of >our Govern
nsan< down to 1928, during all Of which
time an average of 80 per cent of
American foreign commerce was car
rted In American ships. The hrst Act
of the first Congress In 11S0 provided,
Subsequent Acts of that and succeed
ing Congresses strengthened and ex-
tended the policy.
Ship protection was abandoned, be-
sary, and from that time the proportion
Of carriage Of American commerce in
American ships has declined, until to-
day but II 7-10 per cent Of American
commerce Is carried foreign In Ameri-
can ships.
Five million tons of ships are en-
ployed In carrying American foreign
commerce, less than three-Quarters OF
a million tons Of which are American.
Four hundred millions dollars would be
spent in American shiDyards building
the ships necessary to carry American
commerce If the policy advocated In the
MassachussAts-New Jersey plank Is
sdorted by ths United States. Three

The weakness of the United States

world; the adoption Of this policy would
strengthen the nation where its one
weakness at present exists.
It In g. policy that provides for the
same protection tor American ships
that is now proposed for American
manufacturers, to wit: Discrimination
against foreign ships, just as we dis
orsudnate against foreign manufac-
tuxes, by higher duty upon the for
eign articles, be they ships or products
Of foreign nations.
The United States Navy is weak, be-
cause Americans are not to be had to
man our ships. The adoption of this
policy would provide resource for the
manning Of the navy. sufficient to pro-
vide the men for the nations protec-
ton, II ever sasailed by q foreign

The Bryanites are frank In their plat
form. after all. They did not say they
favored and would advise free coinage
at 10 to l. No; they framed it thus:
I'VE demand the free and unlimited
coinage" etc. At least that declara-
ton has the merit Of frankness. De-
rnand was the word Dick Turpin in
variably employed, but then the Bryan
ties move upon a higher plane Of road
agency than Turpin. The latter looked
after the interests of his own pocket;
the Chicago Conventionites promote the
schemes Of the silver syndicates and
silver mine millionaires.
The record-union., 1896-10-14

The claim Is still made that gold has
appreciated. The Bryanites base this
claim on the statement that prices Of
commodities have advanced since 1873,
and that silver is worth only about half
whGf 1t was, silver being one Of the
commodities But how happens it that
there are many other commodities
cent, while many others have fallen
less? In other words, there has been
no uniform decline, as there must have
been had gold appreciated 100 per cent,
as the radicals claim.

Archbishop Ireland makes no bones
about declaring his opinion that the
assault of the Chicago platform upon
the Supreme Court Of the United States
means the packing OF that body to effect
political ends, and not to secure just
Interpretation Of the Constitution and
the laws. When courts become political
agencies justice departs from them and
liberty dies. This the Catholic prelate
clearly realizes, and he does not hesitate
therefore to danounce the assault as
one impeqdling American free 'instttu-
tions.

Despite the howl Of the Bryanites, 1t
is fact that every man who works for

did in 1873. Do workingmen wish to

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

iy removes. That is why it is the only
