FRYE SEES TWO DANGERS.
One of Election of Bryan and the
Other OverprOductiOn.

One of Election Of Bryan and the
Other OverprOductiOn.
Senator William P. Frye Of Maine ad-
dressed republican mass meeting at Cam
den, N. j., last night, presided over by
Senator Sewell of New Jersey. He began
his speech by referring to the country s
natural resources and the policy of the re-
publican party in fostering them. He de-
cried that in the discussion of honest
money, Imperialism and mlitarism, the pro-
tective tariff, which is the bulwark of
American prosperity, should not be forgot
ten.
"In 1896" he continued, William McKin-
elected and the democratic party was in
full control Before that party had done
anything a fearful panic was precipitated
by the distrust felt by the business inter-
ests of the country and five hundred
banks failed, and every industry in the
country felt the shock.
I'm 1892, he continued, william McKin-
ley was elected. He is good Presi-
dent in his time as was Washington in his
or Lincoln was in his. Prosperity came
back to stay unless the American people
shall elect Bryan.
"The other great danger for us is over
production. We are in danger of an un-
sold surplus. We must have market,
and in looking for one We must enter upon
a great commercial war. Germany is our
great competitor. Her workmen receive
low wages We do not intend to resort to
this The republican party has decided
upon another plan. We have taken the
Hawaiian Islands, one of the Samoan group,
and the Philippines. What does this mean
Not merely more territory, but stepping
stones for the great commerce of the orient,
with its eight hundred million consumers
We do not want any of China. We have
what Is better. We have the Philippine
Islands as a gateway to that empire. 1 do
not speak for Mr.. Mckinley. but I would
always hold those Islands.
I'm holding this doctrine I am in good
company. l am in company with demo-
Gratis who would not give the country a
cheap dollar, overthrow the United States
Supreme Court, encourage rioting and fos-
ter class hatred"

er was being brought from the Jail
to the courtroom he bowed to peo-
pie on all sides, and seemed to be
in good spirits.
Monday evening someone started
a rumor that there would probably
be lynching party during that
night. The author Of the rumor
was brought before the Judge. He
could give no reason, but, as it was
court night, and large crowd in
town, the authorities deemed it pru-
dent to summon about twenty men
to guard the Jail.
These guards went on duty, but
there was no sign of alarm.
1t is quite certain that the friends
OF DR.. Temple will attempt no vio-
lence and will give the prisoner a
fair trial, as they were requested
to do by DR.. Temple just before his
death.

Faith and Works Hand In Hand.

Il tell you," said commercial traveller
the other day, 81 never heard the old
Scrptural doctrine that faith without
works is dead illustrated so convincingIy
as did when ! was down in New Or
leans and was sitting among circle of
well to do planters who were telling sto-
ries Of negro life. One OF them said:
"'Not long after slavery was abolished
an old darky who had been my fathers
body servant since they were boys got
religion" but his ideas about it were ex-
tremey hazy. AS Christmas approached
his family clamored for turkey So he
prayed earnestly for one. saying. 20
Lord, send turkey to this poor sinner"
but no turkey came. Day after day he
kept up his petition without bringing the
coveted prize any nearer. Then on the
morning before Christmas he changed the
wording of his prayer to 20 Lord, send
this poor sinner to a turkey" and about
midnight his prayer was answered. -
