WHICH CAN We TRUST 2
Interesting Queries Suggested
by Existing Conditions,
WHICH PREDICTIONS GAME TRUE.

The Record of the Last Three Years Has
Confused the False Prophets and Has
Proved the Verify OF the Promises Of
Prosperity Made by President William
Mckinley.
The record of the United States dur
ing the past three years has been in
many respects the most wonderful in
the history of the world
The revival of industry and the
flood-tide of prosperity that followed
has been without precedent in the his
tory ofthis or any other country.
Three years ago when the presiden-
tial campaign was on two great parties
contested for the honor of administer
ing the government of this country.
The one, headed by William Jennings
Bryan, protested that unless free silver
coinage at an obsolete ratio was in
augurated Immediately the distress
and disaster which had hung like a
pail over the nation for nearly four
years would be increased, and the
great mass of the American people
would become paupers.
The other party proclaimed William
Mckinley, it's candidate for the presi-
dency. to be "The advance agent OF
prosperity" They told the people
that the mismanagement of govern
mental affairs and mistaken govern
mental policies had created lack of
confidence in the business world and
had so injured many interests that
the effect had been generally disas-
trous. They promised that a revision
of the tariff along protection lines and
the guarantee of sound currency
would bring a return of good times.
The people will soon be called upon
to stop long enough from their busy
vocations to consider which of these
parties was correct three years ego,
and which has kept its word with the
public.
Is the administration of William
Mckinley the period of idleness and
poverty and misery which William
Jennings Bryan and his fellow Dem
ocrats predicted it would be?
Has the failure to restore free silver
coinage at the obsolete ratio of 16 to
caused business depression or pro-
duced business collapse and catastro-
Plies?
Has not the Republican party done
just what it promised in the restora-
tion of prosperity?
If Bryan and his fellow advocates
were mistaken in 1896, is it likely they
have learned any wisdom in three
years? The people have found the eX'
act reverse of what the Democrats pre-
dicted in 1896 has come to pass. 1t mas
come as steadily as the current of a
mighty river in increasing volume
from the day of the election of William
Mckinley to the present.
If Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party were so gravely mistaken in re-
gard to the effect of the defeat of free
silver and the election of Mckinley,
can the people trust them to be right
now when they are opposing national
expansion and fretting about other
matters which have created more OF
less public concern?
Which party will the people trust
this year and next-the one that has
kept faith with them or the one which
has proved itself a false prophet?
Robbed of all false and misleading
political claptrap, that is the question
the people of Ohio will be compelled
to answer at the polls in November.

TRAITOR AGUINALDO."
A Great Democratic Newsp per Serves
Notice on Its Party.

NoGice on Its Party.
The st. Louis Republic, one of the
leading Democratic free silver news
papers of the west, frankly insinuates
that the so-called anti-eXpansionists
are foolishly overreaching themselves.
1t points out the harm they Cts
fellow Democrats) are doing in the
cause of Americanism by averring too
much" 1t tells the Democratic anti
expansionists that they do not con-
slider the difference between the police
duties of a defacto government and
the policy of a free nation" and
practically declares that the average
anti-expansionist does not know what
he is talking about. In full agreement
with Governor Stone of Missouri John
P. Altgeld, and a number of other dis
tinguished Democrats, the Republic
declares that, no matter whether our
government is rightly or wrongly ex-
tended to the Philippines, we can not
neglect the imperative obligation Of
enforcing order and fixing the rules of
law for the natives and foreigners in
habiting the islands; that if the obli-
cation of American tenure requires
force, then force must be used with all
possible effectiveness.
After indorsing President McKin-
ley's policy thus far, the Republic tells
the anti-expansionists that is not
necessary to echo the swelling hyper
bole of Aguinaldo's proclamations."
1t says frankly that the less of praise
and sympathy (for the Filipinos) we
utter, the more truth we will tell. :"
Speaking Of Aguinaldo personally, it
Iys: IF he (Aguinaldo) and his band
| lived in any state Of the Union, they
would probably be dealt with by Wig
ilance committees and subdued by the
short processes of Judge Lynch's cir
cult" The Republic describes Agui-
naldo as a proved liar, a greedy taker
of bribes; cruel, mean, dishonorable
and traitorous 1t says he is true to
nothing by neither the laws
of peace nor the laws of war.
After repudiating in strongest terms
the attitude of the anti1expansionists
and practically indorsing the policy

Tne Fable Of lie Patient donkey.

A patient donkey who had been pur-
chased by a Boston Mugwump for the
amusement Of his children, who rode
him about the premises, was surprised
one day to see the old man come into
the yard and order him saddled, ex-
planning to the stable man that he had
been recommended to take a donkey
ride for exercise, But the donkey,
who had heard his anti-expansion talk
the night before, bumped his back and
threw the man over his head. That
evening the COW, who occupied the
stall next to the donkey and who had
been greatly surprised at his conduct,
asked why he had acted in such a ram
bunctious manner. 81 win tell you"
said the donkey, as he bit off another
hunk of thistle, 81 am willing to stand
most anything, but blamed Il l pro-
pose to be ridden by bigger ass than
myself"
