Rural Free Delivery.

The last congress, which was repub-
lican, appropriated 81, $50, 0G0 for the
establishment of rural free delivery.
These routes are being put in as fast
as possible. They are proving very
popular as they give those who live in
the country the advantages of mail SER
vice enjoyed in the cities.
The Cleveland administration for
three successive years rejected this
plan and only established few routes
when congress made it imperative.
Postmaster General Dissell opposed
the plan and Wilson gave it no en-
couragement. The present admins
tration has established 2,039 rpntes to
date by which l,427 300 farmers
families are served. Before the end of
the fiscsl year 100000 farmers
families will be thus served.
The OBJECT of this service has been to
increase the mail to the parties served
on an average of 40 per cent. The
largest increase has been in daily
papers and in packages by mail.
Another noticeable effect has been the
improvement CT the highways over
which the routes go.
The establishment of these routes
marks a new era in the development
of our country. 1t shows again what
the public already knows, that the re-
publican party is the party best fitted
and most able to meet new conditions
as they arise and to successfully carry
forward any new movement.

Bryan says an empire cannot be
established here without our people
want one. As but one man in the
country has been found who wants one
and as he is lunatic, it follows that
We are in no danger of an empire.
1t also follows that Bryan and his
imitators who talk imperialism are in
sincere and are using that as bugaboo
to detract attention from the real
issues

Senator Frye on Expansion.

AS soon as Mr.. Mckinley is re-
elected president of the United States,
and Mr.. Bryan is conveyed to the
political tomb, there will be peace in
the Archipelago, and not until then.
We will give the Philippines a good
government, as good as we have here
We will respect all their rights, politi-
cal and civil, religious and social. We
will build their roads and highways SO
that they can get the fruits of the
earth to the sea, and to the world. We
will educate them, build them school
houses and churches; we will send
them teachers; we will encourage them
to work and pay them fair wages.
When we started we had 100000
square miles of territory. Thomas
Jefferson added 1,121 900 square miles
North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana, Washington, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana-all at one fell swoop. We
annexed Florida in 1919 and then in
1S45 Texas, and then in 1S4S New
Mexico and California, and in 1867
Alaska; and We find ourselves with
$500, 900 square miles of territory in
stead of the 100000 that we started
with. Have We ever surrendered any
of it? Not an inch. Will we ever
Not an inch. Why, only short time
ago, when Canada wanted to take away
from us little strip of ice up there in
Alaska, we were ready to go to wal
with Great Britain because she backed
Cananda up in it.

Gen" Kelly who was one of Coxey' $
lieutenants in 1896 and led an army of
tramps from California to Washington,
is now republican. With the advent
of the Mckinley administration and the
revival Of business he obtained employ
ment and is doing we'll. He is thorough
ly converted to republicanism because
of prosperity and is making speeches

Here is Bryan's prophecy of 1896

here IS Bryans prophecy OF 1896:
/ hereby make the following proph-
ecy: If William Mckinley is electe d
and put in power for the next four
years, wages will decrease, hard times
will come upon US and over the land,
the price of wheat will go down, the
price of gold will go Up, mortgages
will be foreclosed by the money lenders
and sharks, the factories and mills will
close, We will export no goods, but
import from foreign lands all the goods
we will use. Want and misery will be
with us. Remember what l saw
j. Bryan.
Yet he now has the nerve to look
honest men in the face

Bryan plays the part of petit.
logger" on the stump. He asks silly
questions that schoolboys can answer
and makes claims that nearly all know
are absolutely wrong. By this contin-
uous talk he has lost the dignity be-
longing to presidential candidate.

Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, life.
long democrat and member of con.
gress several terms, is for Mckinley
now. He does not believe in free
silver coinage, neither does he believe
in CHASING the treacherous Aglinaldo
and his guerrilla bands as patriots,
or as subjects of our sympathy when
they are shooting down our soldiers.
