should be pursued was heated rather
than earnest. emphatic oftener than

show that he is neither a statesman nor

the country today who would deny
that the protective system has built
UP our manufacturing interest; that
this has been of ~incalculable ad-
vantage TO all the people: that u trade
supremacy today is the Legitimate prod
uct Of the system; and that without it
we should be a nation of dependents
instead OF Industrial masters of the
world. Our shipping interest is now
where our other interests would have
been but for the fostering care of the
government. Shall we leave II to lam
guish. or shall we apply to II the policy
that has been so successful elsewhere
There Is another even more important
produce OF any commodity more than
we the foreign market Is of
vast moment TO the producer. Every
inroad that he can make on that raises
prices by increasing demand abroad and
lessening the pressure of supply at
home. Wherever the farm products Of
the United states can find new purchas-
ers, there is the beginning OF a greater
prosperity for the farmer. The open
ing of new markets in the Orient and
their capacity for absorbing our bread
etuns promise "a new era OF profit to
American agriculture. To stimulat
these exports and to aid in furnishing
means Of communication with these
markets is a national duty.
We desire TO see such legislation by
congress as will bring TO the agricul-
tural interest Of this country the same
has conferred upon its manufactures.
We believe It TO be an act of justice as
well as ar act OF wise policy. 1t can be
done best through the encouragement
Of exports; either by a tonnage bounty
or by such a subsidy system as is now
under consideration by congress. What
the people demand is that the boun-
ties to be paid shall go to those who are
engaged in the actual enlargement of
markets for American producers: to
freight steamers rather than passenger
boats, n that they be paid on the
basis of goods actually carried rather
than that Of mere capacity or speed.
In as far as the bin in the house meets
these conditions, II should be supported
heartily. IND by none more z~ealously
thai the representatives OF the Pacific
coast. whose shipping is unequal to the
demand upon 1t and from whose ports
the greatest ommerc OF modern times
is destined to depart. 1t is possible
that this bill still needs amendment.
The terms under which the Atlantic lin
ers. carrying passengers almost exclu-
siveiy. can come in appear to be too
liberal. But In general the measur is
carefully drawn and II Is an immense
improvement upon the bill originally in
troduced In the senate. Public tpirs.on
will declare itself. whenever opportu-
nifty offers. overwhelmingly in favor of
aid to our merchant marine. There may
be difference Of opinion about the best
method OF doing this, there is none as
to the wisdom of the policy. Every ar
gument adduced against IT was answer
ed long ago in the fight against free
trade, as IL Is refuted anew every day
that we live in the center of prosperity
secured under the system Of protection.
OF which encouragement to the shipping
industry is logically a part.

Sacred Heart Wins.a Hard Game from
the p & s

the p & s.
The Sacred Heart college football
team won it's first game of the season
at Washington park Saturday after
noon, defeating the Wisconsin Col
lege Of Physicians and Surgeons, of
Milwaukee. by score of to 0. The
latter won the toss and chose
the south goal. A high wind
favored them, and it looked as though
they meant to win. Meagher kicked
off, and the sphere fought it's way
against the breeze till it landed some
fifteen yards from the Doctors goal.
Here they were forced to punt, failing
to make any gains through the line.
Rudolph fumbled the punt, Meagher
picked it up and made splendid run,
reaching the ten-yard line of the P.
d S. before he was stopped. A touch
down seemed at hand, and yet it failed.
due largely to the grand defense of
the visitors. The ball changed hands
and the P. & S. gained steadily till
the cOllegians raised blockade and
forced them to punt. Rudolph picked
up the ball. but was dOwned in his
tracks. Sacred Heart carried the
sphere back again till they reached
the forty-yard line, where Meagher
tried place kick, which failed owing
to the strong wind. From this on
each side held the other for downs,
so that the bail changed hands some
five orsix times, neither side making
any gains. The first half was called
with the ball in possession OF the P.
& S. men on Sacred Hearts fifty yard
line.
Twice during the second half i'd
the Doctors succeed in getting the
ball within ten yards of Sacred Hearts
goal, but on each occasion failed TO
make the coveted touchdown. A
splendid defense forced them to give
over the ball. Both times Meagher
punted, sending the ball some seventy
yards into the enemy's territory, and
thus saved his side. When the
second of these punts rolled on the
ground, Fisher picked it up. but made
a forward pass, which gave Sacred
Heart the ball on the Doctors thirty
yard line. But one-half minute of
play remained. Captain Cleary or
dered rapid lineup; Meagher moved
back. Cleary gave the signals, the
ball went back swiftly to Meagher,
and four seconds later everybody
was shouting, for the sphere shot
nicely between the goal posts and the
game was over and won. Score, TO
0 in f,.vor of Sacred Heart. The line.

Rural Route No. \

The Postoffice department has
ordered the establishment of another
rural free delivery mail route from
the Watertown postoffico service to
begin on November 10. This route
covers the eastern portion of the
town OF Emmett and goodly portion
of the town of Lebanon, extending
nearly to Hustisford. Theodore Cruel
has the appointment of carrier. The
patrons of the route must provide
boxes for the reception of mail mat
ter, which are secure not only from
the weather, but from mischievous or
malicious depredations. The depart
ment requires that the boxes be
properly labeled and protected. They
should be placed in convenient posi-
tion so that the carrier may have
easy access to them.
The carrier will carry a supply of
postage stamps, postal cards, stamped
envelopes and money order blanks.
and if patrons choose to make him
their agent by entrusting to him ad-
dl essed and stamped envelopes for
that purpose be can enclose the
money order. when issued at the
postoffice, in the envelopes SO furn-
ished him and deposit it in the mails.
The carrier will also receive letters
for registration; giving receipts for
the same.
It is desirable that the names of
those wishing to have their mali de-
livered should be furnished to the
Office without delay. For the greater
certainty of proper delivery OF mail it
should be addressed Rural Route No.

THE ELECTION
IN THE CITY.

An unusually quiet election day,
for presidential year, was that Of
Tuesday in Natertown. Outside OF
ore or two wards there was no par
ticular effort made to get out the vote,
the Republican managers being es-
pecially inactive. It was far different
from the conditions existing four
years ago. Notwithstanding this
comparative lack of interest, a good
sized vote was rolled up-1.857 for the
head of the ticket.
The result was Disappointing to the
Republicans, to say the least.
Bryan's plurality of 592 in the city
was nearly double what had been ex-
pected by Republicans. For congress
Aylward ran ahead of Bryan, his
plurality being 659 Throughout the
entire Second district Mr.. Aylward
proved strong candidate.
No doubt comparison of the vote
on president and congressman shows
there are still number of Gold Dem
ocrats left in Watertown, but the
general outcome herea bouts gives
conclusive evidence that this promi-
nent element of SO has returned
pretty literally to the regular ranks.
Some handsome home endorsements
were accorded the Watertown candi
dates on both tickets. William H.
Woodland, Republican nominee for
district attorney, ran way ahead of
his ticket, the majority against him
being less by about 200 votes than
the average against his colleagues.
James P. McGolrick. Democratic
candidate for sheriff, carried the city
by the splendid plurality of $40,
while w. H. Rohr, for clerk of court,
was the strongest candidate on either
ticket, going out of the city with a
plurality of $40. Jesse Stone, for
ieutenant-governor and Gustav
