THE ooLDsUo VIEW OF 1T.

The strong argument OF our oppC-
nents in this campaign is prosperity.
and they prove that prosperity by cit
ing the fact that our exports of mer-
chandise gold and silver exceed tho
imports by hundreds of millions OF
dollars. This is considered OF so much
Importance that 1t was incorporate 1
as a stump speech in the belly OF the
Republican platform. The theory Is
that nation that sends away more
than she receives is getting rich and
one that receives more than she pays
out is getting poor. For great many
years Englands imports have greatly
exceeded her exports and strange to
say that nation has not gone into
bankruptcy. But here are two brill
liant illustrations of the Republican
contention. Egypt exports great
deal more than she imports and that
has been the case ever since Moses
crept out of the bull-rushes. By this
time Egypt ought to be immensely
rich but she isn't. In all the world
thore is no nation SO poverty stricken
and disconsolate. For long time
Ireland's exports have immensely ex-
ceeded her imports and during that
time her population has decreased
one-half and her brave sons are hunt
ing a home In every country in the
world, except Ireland. The facts OF
impartial history show the exact op-
posite to that which is claimed by the
Republicans. and II this is their best
and strongest argument we will make
them take to the woods before the
campaign Is fairly warmed up.

Bryan No. . Trim m.r.

One reason that Mr.. Bryan is so
generally respected is that he Is SIN
cere. He says what he thinks is gen.
orally right. and he does not keep
quiet on any subject from fear that
his views might injure his political
prospects. 1t is because Mr.. Bryan
takes the position OF statesman and
a patriot rather than that Of schem-
ing politician in respect to public
matters that he has such a remarkable
hold on the people. The people like a
sincere man and they are quick to rec
ognize him when he appears in pub

to select the attorney who is to
prosecute his case aud the board
Of county commissioners who are
to direct the prosecutions. Yet the
fight made against Commissions, $
.1saman and Black and against
Miles S. Johnson is made with
that purpose in view and with no
other purpose.
The present board Of county
commissioners came into Office un.
der promise to the voters of Nez
Perez county that a thorough in.
vestigation of the county records
would be made and proof furnished
Of the assertions made that public
funds had been Incorporated
To this end an expert accountan,
was employed and his reports from
time to time have been given to
the public. Under the exposures
made. suits, both civil and criminal,
have been instituted. Some of the
officers whose shortages have been
made public have refunded the
