party has done this. A dollar today
draws one-half as much interest as it did
under the democratic administration.
The Republican party has done this.
We may reasonably infer from these.
facts that the condition of the poor
people has vastly improved as compared
with the rich people. A fsw years ago
the capitalist got 10 to IL per cent. for
his money; now he has to take per
cent and even less. The man who bor-
rowed money will purchase far more than
he used to- The Republican party is the
friend and protector of the poor man and
always has been. The labor system of
the democratic party is human slavery.

Since the death of Col. Ingersoll hun
dreds- of newspapers and magazines have
sought to fix his work and his place in
this age OF the world. The most of them
fail badly. Napoleon for twenty years
was a scourge in Europe and when at
length his career closed, when he died as
poor and helpless as when he was born,
the world asked, What was accomplish
ed by bis career?" Really he did what
the cyclone and the driving rain does
cleared the air and gave the life to the
parched soil which made 1t possible for
it to bring forth fruit.
When homeopathy was first establish
ed it was met with perfect storm Of
sneers and ridicule; but one result has
been to reduce the quantity of medicine,
that is, the doses. in many cases 80 per
cent.
Col Ingorsoh did not deny God; he
only said he did not know; he did not
scoff at religion, but he did scof at the
creeds, and below all he lived 50 far as
his acts were concerned. more after the
rules laid down in the New Testament
than half the teachers of the Christian
religion. and we believe the result will be
that while love may not be preached any
more than formerly, there Will be more
love and broader charity practIced.
Men could easily assail many things
which Col. Ingersoll SAID. bnt they could
not criticise very much that he did, for
with him ali men were brothers; the law
OF kindness which ruled in mis- nolns
went out and warmed everyone with it's
influence; no hand was SO black or %
dirty that he was not ready to grasp it, tc
make lowly life'5 burden hgnter; ami
thus breathing good to all mankind he
