REJECTED AND scoRNED.
Who Voted for Bryan
in 1896.

The democratic party has ADAM
doned every principle which / hold
dear and which / have been taught
from my infancy TO love. In 1896 I
voted for Mr.. Bryan because I dis
liked to leave a party with which l
had been affiliated all my life, and
believed that when it had sobered up
judgment and calm elaboration would
again dominate its eounsels. But
alas! Poor Yoricki 1t goes from bad
to worse, until now it has taken such
a radical departure from all the prin-
ciples enuneiated by all the great DEM
ocratic leaders that it looks TO me
Like political suicide 1t has taken up
so many fallacies and militar-
ism, Imperialism (cheap elap-trap-
mere rot), the absurd Boer plank
in the face of the facts, the laughable
fallacy that the constitution follows
the flag, and the bewildering and as
tonishing declaration of the extern
sion of the Monroe doctrine to the
shores of Asia, with others too nu-
merous TO mention. but equally alb
surd, that / cannot understand how
any old-line Jeffersonian democrat
can do anything but support the can
didate who is standing up for Ameri-
can institutions. for American adj
vancement and progress for AHleri-
can civilization, for the God-giving
American prerogative to take our
place in the very front rank of al
the nations of the earth

FARM ANIMALS WORTH MORE.
One Item I'm which Farmers Are
Better OF Than In Demo
cratic Days.

Mr.. Bryan and his followers are hav-
that they are worse off IN 1900, with
sound money and protection, than they
were in 1896, with free trade law IN
operation and the shadow of free silver
impending.
A general comparison of articles of
farm consumption and farm produc-
ton between the years 1896 and 1870
completely disproEes the Bryan theory.
In the item of farm animals alone
the farmers are worth $500, 0c0, 600
more than they were in democratic
days. The table printed below. which
is from the reports of the United States
department of agriculture, is worth
study:

The final meeting for settling the
seasons accounts for the state agricul-
tural society was held in St. Paul

had been a great success. and had
proven very profitable financially as
well as otherwise The gross earnings
for the year was $1,000 greater than
the preceding year. and there is sur
plus left of $50, 600.
The legislature viii be asked to
make an appropriation of slOo, 600 to
add 10 the buildings at the fair
grounds and to extend the water
mains of the St Paul system into the
fair grounds. It was said that had this
been done during the present year the
ire which nearly wrecked the build
ings just at the beginning Of the fair
would have been averted
The profits on the fair leave a bal
anee OF $50. 600, and S10.e CT this
amount was set aside to pay premiums
IN case bad weather should make any
future fair improbable, as was the
case N the late Illinois tie fair
The remaining SO. 900 viii be used in
fixing up the buildings during the
winter. paving salaries, and liquidat-
ing expenses preliminary to the oper-
ing of the next year.
