Gently wise and we'll thought out
financial policy of our government
and the satisfactory solution of the
new questions coming upon us by the
outcome of the Spanish war; rebound
ing to the good and greatness of our
country and the civilization of the
world. AS republican 1 will venture
some suggestions to republicans. The
trust evils or monopolies, which geek
to crush out competition and CONTROL
certain lines of business, must be
strictly and rigidly put under the fair
and just control of law. Senators,
congressman and legislators, put in
position by the republican party, have
so far made all the wholesome Laws
in that direction. But as this evil
in our country, thru the selfishness ct
certain combinations irrespective of
parties, has fastened itself to some
extent upon the country to the in
jury of many interests, the senators.
congressman and legislators Just
named must now, in good faith, take
up the bill which passed the lower
house of the present congress, and
which is in the senate judiciary COM
mittee, and without tampering put 1t
into sound and effective law. be-
lieve that the lessons of this cam
paign just closed point with unerring
certainty to the necessity OF accom-
plishing this one thing. believe
that the republican party is the one
that can settle these great issues and
settle them right. They have heen
warned thus far what to do and they
will do it.

Farm Implement News, Masonic Tenn
pie, Chicago, ILL.,:
Replying to your inquiry as to our
views on the results of the election,
we are almost too happy for utter
ance. We have been sanguine from
the outset that the people of our ma
ton would not allow the splendid con-
ditions that have existed during the
The Mckinley administration marks
an epoch in the history of this nation
that will not change in the next quar-
ter of a century. 1t has given to the
American people relief,peace and pros
perity and to the Cubans and Hawaii
ans liberty, and established credit
for the United States at home and
abroad that is unequalled in the world.
To such conditions the American peo-
pie have given their sanction, thru
their ballot. We predict for the bus
! mess interests of this country an UNI
precedented increase for the next four
years. The best customer we have,
informed us in September that if Nc
Kinley was elected they would be here
on the first day of December to close

| Samuel Mahon - The result of the
election has put aside the real danger
of financial disturbances both as to
The monetary stability and the bust
ness of the country. 1t has laid the
ghost of imperialism and militarism.
The American people refuse to believe
that a great country of high clylllza-
ton, educated intelligence and free In

bugaboos. 1t has demonstrated that
the people believe that the regulation
of the great corporations in the inter-
est of the people is safer in the hands
of the united republican party, than
If trusted to the discordant elements
composing the coalition opposition.
Not least in the minds of the people
was the undesirability of any change
from the present industrial and bus1-
ness conditions, being content to let
well enough alone. The result is sig
nificant also in proving that the ma

Frank Won Schrader-I was very
sorry to see the democratic congress
, sional and county ticket defeated.
don't care to say anything further ex-
cept that the election Of Mckinley was

thing it will have any effect on bust

T, D. Foster-The result of the
election squelches Organism. Busl
, ness men can now make plans with
greater confidence. The republican
party, however, should not .construe
their victory as an endorsement by
, the country of all their acts. The
people are suspicious of trusts, and
will resent any move in the direction
of turning their nation into military
one.
