| Colonel Hubbard is for monopolies
At Lexington 1 turned and looked al
him, and l said the gentleman is fol
lprote ction, for gOld-standard, imperial
ism, aud for monopOlies, and he said not
9 word of demur. You have paid $780,.
OOO, 600 a year for sugar, nearly as much
as was paid for -four. In seventeen
years the Sugar Trust had collected
$550, 900 900, and what was the result to
the people? 1t had effected bad legis-
lation and corrupted Lawmakers and
voters. What do you think of it ? Mr..
Mckinley was elected to reform the cur
rency, but was hardly warm in his seat
at the White House before he called an
extra session of Congress, and they
passed the Dingley bill. It's deficit last
year was thirty five millions, while the
Wilson bill it sought to improve was de-
ficient only eighteen millions. and was
fast reducing even that.
Il am opposed to monopolies and the
protection thereof, and it's to your in
terest, too, to oppose them. But there
is question greater even than silver,
tariff, or any other question in our
platform-the right of the people to
govern themselves. If the people are
wrong for a time, they have every in
terest to correct themselves, and will
correct it; but tighter and tighter will
the monopOlies tie about you their
coils"
As to Colonel Hubard's objection that 1
criticised Mckinley, will say that it is
right and proper in republic to criti-
else public servant, and we'll do it
until we have an empire and an emper-
or.
Nor can the Republican party claim
ell the credit for the success of the
Spanish war. The glory of it belongs to
the whole country.
AS to Mckinley appointment of Lee,
Butler and Wheeler, this was but his
plain duty-to appoint the best men re-
gardless of party or section? But how
did he do in appointments in time of
peace ? In his Cabinet he put that tool
of the trusts, ,McKenna, and that, too,
against the protest of Republicans as
well as Democrats and, more than that,
he put in the Cabinet Griggs, another
corporation attorney, and great was the
rejoicing among the trusts. They gave
Griggs $4,000 feast, and Mckinley at
the Waldorf Astoria sat down to that
Belshazzar feast with sixty represent
atives of trusts. Infamous were his ap-
pointments of negroes in Georgia and
Louisiana. There were certain places
that negroes might fill without creating
friction, but these appointments of ne
groes were wrong to the whole people,
negroes as we'll as whites.
TheeXorbitant figures at which vessels
for the navy were bought, far over the
original costs, were cited by Judge
Quarles with much effect. The brave
boys in blue gave their lives on the sea
and the field, and asked but that they he
fed and clothed. The contractors got
the money did the boys in the trenches
get the supplies
Don't these things need Investigation?
Send me to Congress, and I'll look into
the book and exert myself to recover
and stop the suuanderipg of YOUR funds.

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of
face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks,
sunken eyes, and a sallow complexion
will defy his best intentions. Beauty
is more than skin deep. The skin is
merely the surface on which is written
in plain characters the condition of the
body. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is good for the complexion be-
cause it makes the whole body healthy
because it clears out impurities of all
kinds. By increasing the ability to as
simulate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of it's own ingredients it enriches
the blood and SO makes solid, healthy
flesh. 1t cures diseases of the lungs.

simply because all these diseases spring
from the same cause-a 1isordered di
gestion and consequent impure blood.

She measurements Of the Bengalia are
greater IN one or two respects and
smaller In others, while her dead weight
carrying capacity is II 900 TONS
| 1t is a close pull between the two
ships. but it is evident that the Rapidan
has tritle the better Of Baltimore's
