voted his life TO public affairs.
Senator Cullom of Illinois is another
poor man, and Senator Burrows OF Mich

Nebraska has already announced his de-
cision not TO be candidate for re-elec-
tion on the grounds that he cannot at

senators from Minnesota are men OF
power and influence. but not on account

This is General Longstreet's second

Notwithstanding the fact that Long

AT the meeting OF the ladies' interested
IN the organization of Rebekah lodge
held in Odd Fellows hall last evening, it
was ascertained that thirty-five ladies
had siguitied their intention of becoming
charter members. 1t was decided that
the charter should not be sent for until
fifty names had been secured, which will
probably be by the latter part OF next
week. Considerable interest is shown in
the matter by the ladies and they will
surely make a success in organizing the

that he rebeled against God, or did not
want to do his will. But, because he
seemed not to know how to do the will
of the Father-always looked forward
with the hope of being useful in Christ's
service in the future. Whatever he un.
dertook in life seemed to be a failure,
though he never gave up in despair. He
often shed tears of sorrow, when he saw
the success of others, when his own
great work was hidden from views by
barriers which he felt, unable to sur
mount These were some OF the reasons
for his being 80 often misunderstood,
and for his melancholy life. Yet he en-
dured all to the end, rejoicing that he
was counted worthy to suffer for Christ's
sake.

God save me from such a party. A
party can not see the plain letter OF
these rises and falls in the market
much less the spirit OF good financial
system
An initiation Of the currency does not
create wealth He who clears an ac:e
of wild land an cultivates it, and brings
forth crop of necessities OF life, is a
greater benefactor to humanity than a
Bryan who tries to increase or raise the
government stamp on our money. The
first actually brings something useful out
of the earth, where nothing once exis.
ted The latter brings forth nothing
only tries to make thing appesr OF
more value than it really is The far,
mer would fill the stomach OF the nun
cry with the products of the earth.
The latter would try to make 5Oc of sill.
yer worth 81 90 and all standards OF
commerce raised at the same rate, one
half. This would not increase wealth.
The same hog, the same bushel Of wheat
and potatoes would last no longer.
Everything so far as consumption is
concerned, remains just where it was.
An imaginative value would be the only
increase, which would neither cloth or
feed any body.
Suppose, for instance, that A. sells to
B. 100 bushels of wheat for $50. B. sells
it to g. for $75. G. sells it for $lO0 to D i,
who consumes it, there has not been
one dollars worth of wealth created.
The same wheat the basis of the ex
change is consumed by D that would
have been consumed had he got it for
$50. For the consumption, or use of the
article is the ultimate end of it But,
suppose instead of wheat, A. sold a ton
of iron ore. B. smelts it and receives
from @. $25 more than it cost him. B.
fashions it into plows and gets $25 from
D., who uses the plows. This is an in
crease of wealth by labor and mechan
ical skill. The worthless lump of ore is
converted into useful article. And,
let me say right here that this is one of
the strongest reasons why we should
have home protection, that this mode of
increasing our wealth may be protected
and guarded from infringement by other
nations. l have not space to longer
dwell upon this thing Protection is
the grsndest safeguard to our home in
terests. But, Will say in conclusion to
all old Democrats, do not stop in the
middle Of the road Vote for this sys
tenn by casting your vote for the Repub.
lican party, the party of Lincoln and
Garfield, and last, but not least of that
able protectionist who has done more to
build up our industries than Congress
of Bryans could do with his free silver,
who is known throughout this land as
Americas foremost protectionist and in
whom all parties bave implicit faith,
and who is known as Major Mckinley.
Vote for the party that has such men at
the head, and you will vote right.
