Two million soldiers in 1855 stacked
arms. No better or drawer soldiers ever
shouldered guns. Without ripple Of
disturbance they passed into the paths of
peaceful occupations. No better citizens
have existed in this or any other country
than the men who clad in blue and grey
fought so hard against each other for
four long years. Militarism only made
them better citizens.

Do good times mean high prices or
low prices? Some people seem to. think
that the only good times is when every
thing they sell is high, while everything
they buy is low.
When man talks "trust" make him
say what he means by trusts. Does he
include all corporations or only some
of them? There are some trusts" that
ought to be suppressed. Croker has one
in New York. Jones has another in the
southern states, but that is no reason
why the Merchants Bank of Pembina or
the Pembina County Farmers Insurance
Co. should be extirpated.
The broad definition of imperialism
as indicated by Mr.. Bryan's slogan,
empire never, republic forever" is that
5000, 600 republicans favor an absolute
monarchy with William Mckinley as
emperor-or else Mr.. Bryan's slogan is
nonsense.
Even Mr.. Bryan admits that the Philip
pines are ours, and hence il they get in
dependence it will be the gift of the
American people. They are not indie
pendent now, consequently Aguinaldo is
rebel. Do you side with the rebel?
MIR. Bryan assumes that if we promise
Aguinaldo independence that he will lay
down his arms and submit to the Ameri-
can government while it establishes a
"s.ab'a government" .ad ..rc,tcctora:c.
How does MIR. Bryan know he will? Has
he letters from Aguinaldo? He has pub
lShed none.
Mr.. Bryan says in effect, let Aguinaldo
alone, and there will be peace. Some OF
US older people heard something similar
in 1860.
General U. S. Grant said the only
terms he had to offer to the rebels was
unconditional surrender" General
Mckinley seems to have the same idea
as to the Philippines. and afterwards the
same generosity, the same good feeling
of Charity for all and malice toward
none" will prevail.
The same people who disfranchised
the colored voters of the south howl for
the independence of few rebels in
Luzon.
Every promise made by republicans in
1895 has been fulfilled. Every prophecy
made by MIR. Bryan in 1896 has been
proven false. -.
Part of the government bonds are pay
able in Coin" Will Mr.. Bryan pay
them in silver? He has been asked but
refuses to reply.
The LIST North Dakota regiment was
OH its return unanimously in favor of ex-
pansion. Mr.. Hildreth was nominated
for office by the democrats. The regi-
ment is still .unanimous-except MIR.
Hildreth.
We know we have prosperity. MIR.
Bryan at best cannot do more than keep
it. His changes in policy, political, inan-
cial, national, must make differences.
Why take the risk of any change? You
cannot make it better. Exchanged at all,
it must be for the worse.

When democratic candidate asks you
for your vote, ask how many republican
candidates he expects to Vote for?
Every reason that makes a vote for
Mckinley goes for a vote for Marshall
for congress.
Tariff is not thought of as an issue in
this campaign. A democratic victory
means tariff as paramount issue and
perhaps to- again borrow money IN time
of peace.
A,straight republican means straight
vote. No amount Of reasoning can prove
the contrary.
