What I want to say is this: We
on the eve of campaign second in inn
portance to none other in the history OF
our party, campaign the issues of
which depend our future prosperity. i
don't propose to discuss these issues, but
/ want to say few words to sound
note of warning which the Importance OF
this campaign justifies me In saying, not
only to the Republicans of New Jersey,
but to the Republicans of the whole
country 1t is your duty and the time is
at hand when every man, no matter how
humble, how prominent or influential, is
called upon to contribute all the efforts,
all the influence in his power to perpet-
uate this administration tell
you, my friends, in all sincerity and hon
esty, it will not do to take anything for
granted, not to neglect single effort, nor
miss trick We are confronted by
desperate foe The fate of Organism
hangs in the balance. If killed now, it
is killed forever.''-M. A Hanna, in As

Ea1ine on IS Cents a Day.

A New \ rk yellow journal is vigorous
~ advocating the election of William J.
Bryan for President, and at the same
time daily printing articles to prove that
it is possible for man to live on fifteen
cents a Cay wages This is a very con-
sistent thing to do under such circum-
stances With Bryan President there
might soon be such a state of affairs that
the working man would be glad TO earn
fifteen cents a day. and 1t is a good thing
for him to be informed that he can live
well and grow fat and prosperous on
that misunderstanding to the yellow
Democratic organ in question.

how unjust it seemed to because I
was old enough to fight and not old
enough to vote / remember that our
Democratic friends said that the re-elec-
ton of Lincoln meant the downfall of
the republic and the establishment of an
empire by force of arms.
The same cry came to the front in 1872
when Gen. Grant was a candidate for re-
election. "Caesarism,'' "nepotism'' and
substance of every Democratic speech,
and the downfall of the republic was pre-
dicted if Grant should be elected.
Well the logic of events proved that
our Democratic friends were mistaken.
Lincoln and Grant were elected, but the
republic lived on No empire was esta b.

pie The nation grew and prospered.

privileges and powers.

Commenting on the recently published
report of inferno tional trade, the Weser

after the new world. 1t points out that
four years ago the trade of the United
States with Cuba amounted to only ST.

with Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Phil
