THE True NoRTHERNER,
Paw Paw, Mich.
Dear Editor
Thinking perhaps some of my friends
might like to hear from the "sunfower
state" direct, will write just a few discon-
nected thoughts. You will see by your
map this little city is in the southeast
ern part of Kansas and not far from
Oklahoma and Indian Territories. The
people of this section have been in bad
shape financially, but are getting out of
debt, and the country is beginning to
blossom like the rose. Is it any wonder
that the people are going back on Bry an?
Some thingsare noticeable to a visitor from
the North: Apple trees are in blossom;
women are wearing sunbonnets; no frost
yet; the men are long and slender and
wear their slouch hats with rim turned
under; houses and barns are not as well
keptas in the North, because the climate
is so warm that they don't have to. Lots
of prairie schooners are on the streets,
just in from the East. This would be a
good country for the enlistment OF
cavalrymen, so many ride horseback.
Fredonia is about like Paw Paw in size,
and no saloons in it; nor is there place
where intoxicants can be purchased. The
people here are satisfied with that state
of affairs. There are more church peo-
pie here than in towns where saloons
abound. would say to my old COM
rades of the G.. A. II. that there are per-
simmons here, but they are not ripe yet.
The pops are getting ripe fast and are
falling oil into the republican baskets.
Some call them "wind falls, but / notice
that the whole crop is affected, and that
one or two more Mckinley brcezes will
bring the whole of them. This town is
boring for gas, which they expect to get
at the depth of go feet. If they fail to
get gas here, and Bryan settles down in
Nebraska after election, they intend to
pipe gas from there. Don't let the dem
ocratic-pop papers deceive you. Kansas
will give 10000 majority for Mckinley,
and he will carry Nebraska and even
tough old Missouri. Keep your end up

without asking for second term. "Straws
show which way the wind blows" a lit
tie boy and girl were looking at the
things in a show window near where |
was standing, when the girl said to the
boy, "The Mckinley buttons are most
all gone and the Bryan buttons are all
there yet" The boy replied, "Yes, the
old things, there won't anybody have
them" Yours muchly,

"trust." There is not now and never has
been wool boot trust. In order to
show up the Courier aud its well known
proneness to campaign lies, letter was
written to Mr.. Cook by Mr.. Jason Wood
man. The reply is printed below Will
the Courier have the honesty to correct
its false assertion concerning Mr.. Cook?
II repeated the false assertion concerning
the wool boot trust in its issue this week.
Following is the letter:
HASTINGS, MICH, Oct. g, 1900.
Jason Woodman, Paw Paw, Mich.
Dear Sir:
Have your favor of October 5. There
is not now and never has been such an
institution as a wool boot trust. An at
tempt was made in '94 to form such a
combination, but our company deter
mined that they would have absolutely
nothing to do with it. There are to-day
seven felt boot factories in this country,
and they are all competitors.
Yours truly,
MARSHALL l.. Cook"

Interesting Statistics.

1t will be remembered that our Bry-
ante friends told us in 1896 that money
would be scarce when the gold standard
was established
The prediction has not been fulfilled
According to the Statistical Abstract,
issued by the United States government,
the amount of money in the United
States in 1899 was S3G.l2 per capita the
largest of any year in 81 years except
1892, when there was S36.21 per capita
There was but s3288 in 1896. So the
amount of money in the country has in
fact largely increased under the gold
standard.
Not only has the money Increased in
volume, but the amount actually in cir
culation has also increased from S21.l0
per capita in 1896 TO 525 in 1899, the per
capita circulation in the latter year be-
ing larger than at any time in the 30
years embraced in the table in the latest
Statistical Abstract.
The gold coinage per capita in 1899
was Sl.4l-larger than for any year of
the 81 except 1881.
The silver coinage per capita was 36
cents-larger than any year since 1891.
They also told us that foreign com
merce could not be built up under a
protective policy The exports per capita
for the last two fiscal years were Sl6.27 and
S15.S4 as against S11.37 and S12.l1 in 9d
and '96. With three exceptions, the per
capita exports in the last two years were
larger than any in the past 81, and much
larger than the exports of most years
On the other hand, the imports pei
capita for the last two years were 57.69
and S9.02 smaller than any years since
1878. The total exports in dollars were
larger than at any time in the history oil
the country, while the total value of im
ports was less in the last two years thar
in any year since 1887, and that in spite
of the increasing population. In short
we as nation are doing exactly what
protectionists claimed we would do
Producing and manufacturing our owr
goods, and selling the surplus abroad.

1t has been asserted that there
would have been no fighting in the
Philippines if congress had declar-
ed its purpose to give independence
to the Tagal insurgents. The in
surgents did not wait for the ac-
ton of congress. They assumed
the offensive, they opened fire or
our army. Those who assert our
responsibility for the beginning
of the conflict have forgotten that
before the treaty was ratified in
the senate and while it was being
debated in that body, and while
the Bacon resolution was under
discussion, on February 4, 1899,
the insurgents attacked the Amer
lean army, after being previously
advised that the American forces
were under orders not to fire upon
them except in defense.--President
McKinley's Letter of Acceptance.

The true northerner., 1900-10-12

OUR "apti-imperiaist" friends should
remember that President Mckinley has
done no more than to use his authority
in the Philippines to hold territory be
longing to the United States. He would
have been derelict in the performance of
his duty had he done less. 1t would
have been reasonable for him to have
done less. Congress alone would have
authority to do otherwise. The islands
became the property of the United States
by virtue of the Paris treaty That
treaty was ratified in the United States
senate with the assistance of II demo-
cratic votes, and these senators were
lined up in favor of the treaty by force
of the party lash, welded by the hand of
William Jennings Bryan. All honor to
him and the IL for their patriotic action
then! BY remarkable flop" that
strange bundle of contradictions whom
the democrats have nominated for the
presidency is now violently opposing the
Philippine control, after he himself had
been one of the most potent factors in
securing the territory.
The true northerner., 1900-10-12

WE wish to again call attention to the
Importance of the legislative elections
this year. United States senator is
to be elected. a vote for a republican
legislative candidate is vote for a sound
money, protectionist senator who will
support the Mckinley administration.
A vote for democratic member of the
legislature is vote for free silver, free
trade Bryanite senator. Not only this,
but the state will be redistricted this
winter for congressional districts. The
democrats attempted gerrymander 10
years ago; they might accomplish a
gerrymander this year if given the op-
portunity. 1t is much safer for the re-
publican majority in Michigan to en-
trust this important work to their friends
No republican should cut his legisla-
tive ticket this year.

Two or three weeks ago, we called at
tention to an assertion, in the Courier
concerning what it alleged Mr.. Roosevelt
had written and published, declaring
drunken cowboys superiority as COM
panions to eastern farmers. We asked
the Courier to tell when and where such
a sentiment was published, and suggest
ed that our contemporary might be
mistaken. The Courier has not yet Civ
en- any authority. 1t had no authority.
No such sentiment was ever written or
published by Col. Roosevelt. The Cour-
ier quoted in the matter this week from
the Chicago Chronicle. The Chronicle
misquoted Col. Roosevelt and and garbled
his words. We have i'm our office the mag
azine article from which the Courier Tor
the newspaper from which it stole the
editoriaD pretended to quote. No such
sentiment is there, If the Courier de
sires to be honest and fair, it should
publish Col. Roosevelt's words, SO that
its readers may know exactly what they
were. We will gladly supply the article,
or such portion of It as the Courier may
care to publish. If it does this, that pa
per will stand before the people of the
community as honest and willing to
grant fair treatment to all. If it does
not, it will stand convicted of wilfully
misleading its readers and slandering and
misrepresenting the republican candi-
date for vice president.

The rose as where some buried Caesar bled;
That every hyacinth the garden wears,
DrOpt in her lap from some once lovely head.
And this reviving herb whose tender green
Pledges the river lip on which we lean
All. lean upon it lightly, for who knows
From what once lovely lip it springs unseeni
And not drop that from our cups we throw
For earth to drink of but may steal below
To quench the fire of anguish in some eye
There hidden-far beneath, and long ago.
As then the tulip from her morning sup
OF heavenly vintage from the soil looks up,
Do you devoutly do the like till heaven
To earth invert you-like an empty cup.
