Republican Dinners.

The people of the United States do
not fail to appreciate the fact that all
the $50 dinners" 81 dinners" and
Single Tax dinners INDUCED in by the
cans of late were made possible by
Republican government. There were
no expensive public dinners Of that
character during the life and rule of
the Wilson, German tariff. for even the
life of jefferson could not be celebrated
during free trade rule and free silver
agitation.
But, better and more helpful than all
other dinners. has been the return of
the dinners in the tin dinnerpails that
are now making the great and un-
equalled improvements throughout the
United States. The long period Of hard
times. stagnation and idleness has
passed: the power Of the laborng men
is once more being made manifest, and
the return Of the great general pros
perity will enable them To regain the
la Dor and wages they voted away in
1892 and voted back in 1896. No palmer
proof has ever been presented to the
American people than that the return
Of Republican rule has restored the
prosperity of the people in all portions
of the nation. and no more positive
proof has ever been presented than
that the Jeffersonian simplicity" din
ners and the tin pail dinners have been
returned by the principles which pro-
tect American labor ana business from
the pauper wage earners of pauperiZed
Europe.
Protection will remain leading

until the people have forgotten their
unequallcd losses resulting from the
free trade ana free silver agitation in
the years following 1892 The tin din
ncr pals are the ruling power Of the
United States. ana the men who carry
them will never forget the hard lessons
they learned during the years Of un-

troubles real or imaginary, by jour

This state Of things has been going on
for wears: the abuse was greater than
most people imagine. and the admins

For instance. Major A. w. Edwards,
editor of the Fargo Forum. in an inter-
view with New York World cores
pOndent is quoted as saying: You
could get Il divorce in that district

state more than day or two. The at

hotel register 30 days before suit was
filed. You could take a flying trip to

The death Of the old law is attributed
to the influence of the clergy and the

Bishop Stanley, Of the Roman Catholic
church. was one Of the most untiring
in the fight against this notorious
abuse.
The fact that North Dakota has
found il necessary for her good name
to abrogate her loose laws on divorce
may. and il is to be hoped will, induce
similar action on the part of other

be made uniform throughout the
