GREAT IRADE EXPANSION
The Mckinley Administration Has Been the Commencement of the Greatest Era of Commercial De- velopment in the History of the Country Much In Store for Future.
By D. c. BROWNELL.

The result of the coming election is of more importance to the country at large. perhaps, than any other since the birth of the republic. Never before were so many great and momentous questions pending, and the proper solution of these questions, means gre prosperity for an unlimited pe- riod of time, while a false step, means the loss to to the coming generation, of the op- portunities for advancement and expansion, whth we in the past have enjoyed. Our country for the past three years, has enjoy ed degree of prosperity never before ex- perienced in any country, and if we desire continuance of these good times our sup port should be given to the present admin l>tration. To change our policy now, would be to do what Lincoln termed "tra- ding horses in the middle of the stream,"
 In looking back to the begining ol the Spanish war and noting the causes that led up to that great event, and follow ing the conduct of that war, and compar- ing the management of the same with olh- CT similar events you will find an absence of corruption and raud never before known.
 Our opponent have watched the course of events largely to find some mistake with which to strengthen their cause They have waited in vain-dnd the only issue Is expansion which is in reality not d poltisan question but an American question.
 Mr. Brvan is indeed placed at great dis advantage. The special achievements of MT, McKinl v's administration have knocked the props entirely out from under hi, theories. Even the 10 to I theory has been settled by the adoption ot the gold Standard which has worked 50 admirably that even the oIt sllverites are now admit ting the wisdom of the scheme.
 Let us now look torwarI and see what is in store for Us, if existing conditions be not disturbed. We now have the Phil Hrires, Purto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii. all of these are now working in harmony with us except the Filpinos, and we are grad ually subduing them. When that is at tained, and they ind that our object is not
 enslave them, but to give them that liberty that we ourselves enIov, they too will put their shoulders to the wheel, and help us build up d great and rich commu- nitv.

Every girl who is planning to be a
house-keeper some time, and is busy
learning how to be, wants, among
other things, to learn how to prepare
and pack a dainty luncheon. 1t is an

may want to pack picnic luncheon, a
luncheon for traveller or for some one
whose -aily duties take him away
from home, and where there is no OPP

he is dependent upon the luncheon

There are millions of dollars invested
