How TO Insure PrOsnerItY.

The republican party is fulfilling
the pledges we made at st. Louis
We have enacted a conservative pro.
tectiye tariff, SO wisely devised that
the revenue is amply sufficient to pay
the ordinary expenses Of the govern,
ment in time Of peace, while capital
is encouraged to seek employment and
the wages Of labor are maintained at
that high standard which experience
has proved to be necessary to the wei
fare of our people. Our exports largely
exceed our imports. The gold of the
world comes steadily to our shores
and with a continuance Of republican
policy and republican national admin
istration the prosperous future of the
nation is assured.

CONGRESSMAN Minors RenIv,

In this issue of the Gazette is to be
found an interview with Congressman
Minor of this district, in reply to GER
tain charges which have been made
against him for campaign purposes.
His statement brings out the facts con-
corning the appointment Of the son of
Col. Barlow to West Point in plain
light and serves to illustrate the
poverty of the opposition against him.
1t is fact that leading men Of the
city OF Green Bay were consulted in
regard to the appointment of Col.
BarlOW'S son to the West Point acad-
envy before that action was taken and
that such q course was heartily in
dorsed by them. The men consulted
were not all of them republican. The
matter was taken PINOT from pOliti-
cal standpoint and the conclusion
reached by them was that Mr.. Minor
was justified in making the selection
he did and that IL met with their
hearty and complete approval.
1t is 4 noticeable fact that with all
the agitation stirred up in regard to
the matter not one person has been
produced who has felt injured in the
least by that appointment and that
the objections now being made are by
democrats only who hope thereby to
defeat Mr.. Minor for reelection.
ThatnO charges have been made in
regard to Mr. Minors conduct in office.
that his votes have invariably been as
the people Of the district would have
wished. that he has been unJiring in
his efforts to serve the district and its
inhabitants and that nothing more
serious has been raised than question:
ing an appointment to West Point
which was advised by leading men of
Green Bay irrespective of party is suf-
ticient evidence that his work was well
done and that he is deserving of re-
election. And reelected he will be-

Good in Peace or War,

The incontroyertible figures of the
bulletins issued by the bureau Of sta
tistics win not permit the DingIey
tariff law to be lost from sight, DEM
ocrats, populists and other opponents
OF the republican policy cannot get
around the fact that the Dingley law
is pulling steadily in the right dlrec-
tion and piling up statistics for the
discontinue of free-traders. The
dutiable imports for August amounted
to So, $40, 693, and the imports free OF
duty to So, 1859, 500; total imports,
SO, 179, 1856. The exports of merchan-
disc for August amounted to S84, COS,
III; excess OF exports over imports,

$50, 429, 1888; increase of exports over
a war month we sold more abroad than
we bought.
Our imports for the first eight
months Of 1898 were valued at S426,-
4l2,O38, and the exports at SITS, 674, OPS:
excess Of exports over imports, 1852,
262, 987. This represents a foreign
trade of S1,205. 086,0 62 for the eight
months, or 81, 807, 628, $50 for the year.
The Dingley law put a balance of
trade in favor Of the United States
and has held it there during the last
four months under the extraordinary
condition of foreign war.-Spokane
