consumer Of the products of the farm
We're not compelled to pay any more
for their wheat and corn than what the
market demanded, while the farmer is
forced to pay the advance ON every
thing that is in the hands of the trusts.
Yet they keep right on supporting
policy of this kind. ssIf the republican
party is successfully" said Father Nu-
gent, '.the republican papers will come
out the morning after election with the
old stereotyped ROSTERS, growing, and
the farmer the morning after election
will walk out onto the porch, learn the
news of the victory and then crow
with the ROSTERS. The only difference
between the rooster and such people
is that the rooster can crow and can't
vote, and we would be much better off
if many voters could crow and not vote
In the human family there are many
men who never think about anything
but their work, and they are the ones
who are caught with the little catch
words of the campaign every time. The
campaign catch words are intended for
the masses who never think. Nobody
cares for the laboring man, but you
can't make them believe it. If you are
a laboring man don't listen to the oily
tongued speaker ror the diamond-stud-
ded aristocrat. They do not care any
thing for you.
Father Nugent then took up the pol
lev ofsthe Mckinley administration in
the Philippines, and proceeded to make
an argument, that to the 'fair-minded'
listener, sounded very much like the
strongest kind of democratic campaign
ammunition. Ee declared that the is
sues of the campaign are very largely
on that question, and that the next
Republican campaign will be fought on
that line. He said the republicans
wanted to draw them off that subject
onro the money issue, because they
think the latter is safe. In the Phil
ippine policy the republicans are work
ing problem that is of u far-reaching
nature and they do not want us to see
it until it is too late. He said the war
was begun on the alleged principles OF
humanity, but in doing so the Monroe
doctrine had been destroyed. He pro
nounced the Mckinley administration
as a one-man power, and said that the
time to deal with bad men is when they
make the first bad move or the first
bad remark. The nobility of the
James boys was classed as greater than
that OF the republican party in its Phil,
ippine policy, where the speaker said
lit is carrying on war in the Philip
pines under the plea that it is in the
cause of humanity, education, etc
He said America has associated SC
long with England that she will vel
be our ruin. She talks to us about hel
love for the Anglo-SaNon race, but thai
is tatfy. England's policy has always
been for greed. She believes in any
thing in which there is money. ant

and has played a big game in her policy
