Thursday evening of last week
six young ladies, with their es
corts, arrived at the home of Misses

Note the Contrast.

4 NUMBER of years ago skill
4 ed mechanic came from Eng
land to this country. Being an In
dustrious, careful man, he found
steady employment at much better
wages than he had been able to
earn in the mother country. After
he had worked in America for ten
years, a former employer of his
came over to this country, and John,
naturally proud of the success he
had made in his adopted land, ask
ed the new arrival home with him
to dinner.
John proudly ushered his guest
into the neat cottage home, furnish
ed with many of the luxuries of life,
and felt a justifable pride as he
showed him around. But John had
imbibed some of the free trade ideas
of Old England and soon began to
complain of the "robber" tariff.
"Whyv" he said, ~ am taxed In
this country from the crown OF my
head to the soles of my feet; | am
taxed on these carpets, on these
pictures, on this furniture, and on
the piano and sewing machine. |
never paid any tax on such things
in England. His wife spoke up at
once and said: "No, John; you
never paid any tax on such things
in England, for we did not have
them"
This little incident will illustrate
the difference between the condition
of workingmen in this and free
trade country.

Improper.

THE Democrats made mistake
in advertising Democratic
meeting on the date selected by the
Republicans for their big Roosevelt
rally. The Republican workers
are hostile over the matter and the
act is con demned by many of the
conservative Democrats.
Such course simply engender'
bitterness and can do the party in
dulging in it no possible good.
We are sorry it was done bu
since it is, the Republicans will
make the most of it, and the loca
Democratic candidates who expect
ed to receive a complimentary Re
publican vote from Republican
friends of the city, may now cal
that part off.
The Republicans will hold thei
meetings afternoon and night jus

THEAPOSTLE OFDISCONTENT
With Everything to Make Him Happy
Bryan Heads the Uneasy
Element.

A well-known newspaper CORE
spondent, writing of his meeting
with public men in the August issue
of Success, says that one day while
conversing with William Jennings
Bryan he asked him what he con-
sldered the greatest word in the En-
Eglish language.
Cotentment, was Mr.. Bryan S
quick reply and before the CORE
spondent could catch his breath
Mr.. Bryan qualified this by saying:
"This world is full of discontented
men. Even some of the rich are
not contented. The man who has
contentment has the best gold that
is to be secured in life"
Here is a clean case of conviction
out of ones own mouth. Among
other accomplishments Mr.. Bryan
is the high priest of discomfort,
Under the beneficial influence of
Republican administration Mr.. Bry-
an has increased his worldly posses
sions nearly 1900 per cent.
His pigs are thriving and his corn
grows to height of more than nine
feet, as we judge from his photo
graph, but these things do not con-
tent him.
He has been photographed as the
man with the hoe; he has had his
picture taken while milking the
cows, weaving the calves and shear
ing the lambs but still he is full oi
discomfort.
He has found out how to gel
along without working for living
how to travel year in and year ou,
at the expense of other people, and
how to keep on accumulating wealth
while protesting that the laying uE
of money is criminal and sinful, but
these achievements have not made
Mr.. Bryan a contented man.
Mr.. Bryan says contentment i:
the greatest word in the English Ian
guage, and adopts discomfort as hi
profession.
Truly, as his admirers say, he is ;
remarkable man.
Another thing he said in the sam'
paragraph: "The man who ha
contentment has the best gold tina
is to be secured in life" Why this
silence as to silver? If consistent
Mr.. Bryan would have said "the
best silver in life, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any othel
nation"
Does Mr.. Bryan think he ha'
passed that point in his career where
it is necessary for him to pretend tt
be consistent?
In the one paragraph he bespat
tered his own teachings twice, anC
stands before the world in his tru'
light-a demagogue.

The "Robber" Tariff.

NOW, let us talk, not politics, but
' little common sense business
Just for little while.
Suppose you, my Democratic or
Populistic friend, should conclude
to enter the mercantile business in
Chanute, or any other good town.
You buy S., 900 worth of goods and
arrange them nicely on your shelves;
you employ a sufficient force of
competent helpers to take care of a
big trade, and advertise extensively,
offering good goods at very low
price. Custom comes in abundance,
and you and your employees are
working almost night and day to
take care of your trade. You feel
rejoiced that your business is prov
ing so successful, and 60 home at
night tired but happy, and brag to
YOUR wife what big business you
are doing, and congratulate your
self on your good judgment in Sc
curing such efficient help, even
though you had to pay them an ex-
ira price. The end of the month
comes; you take off balance sheet
and find you have not made enough
clear money to pay your help and
keep your family, to say nothing OF
interest on your investment. Ycu
ponder on the question till away
into Saturday night and can't go to
church Sunday morning for worry
ing over the problem. Finally .
solution comes to your mind. Yor
say: 'It is not right for me to put
in my capital and labor and suffer .
loss while my employees are all max
ing money. l will just cut theil
wages S. per month and let then
stand a part Of the burdens" This
1 lyou do, and, as in all transactions

The Strike.

THE great strike organized among
the coal miners in the anthri-
cite regions of the east will cause
much suffering and trouble among
the families of the miners. We re-
gret very much to see such measures
adopted.
While our sympathies are always
with labor, we doubt very much the
wisdom Of this strike at this time.
The miners need their wages at the
beginIng of winter, and a strike now
amidst hot campaign will be slmp-
ly considered as a political move
organized by demagogue politicians
and, right or wrong, it looks very
much that way and will fail to elicit
that sympathy among the people
that it would at other times, even
though the miners have a just cause.
We hope in the interests OF hu-
manity the differences may be ad-
iusted and serious consequences
avoided.

burned. Every effort is being made
by the authorities to clean up the
rubbish and put the city in good
sanitary shape as fast as possible.
Fevers are already prevalent and
there is grave danger of an epidem-
ic.
Contributions of money and sup
plies are being forwarded to the
stricken city as fast as possible.
The railroad and express companies
are carrying all donations free.
Steps are already being taken tc
rebuild the city on the present site
in move substantial manner and
there is no doubt but there will
arise a finer Galveston than ever.

1t is useless for the Democrats OF
this town of the goody, goody sort
to express their regrets that their
Davis meeting conflicts with the
Roosevelt rally pre- arranged by the
Republicans. The Kansas City
Star of the 18th publishes dispatch
dated Pittsburg, Kansas, Sept. 18th
in which it is stated that ]. Mack
Love and w. F. Sapp last night ar
ranged dates for Davis. We think
one or two of our Democratic lead
ers from this city were in Pittsburg
about that time and should have
been consulted about the date that
would be the most satisfactory to
the faithful here. Better stand
right up to the rack, gentlemen, and
say you wanted the conflict.

depression. You try it another
month, and on taking your balances
you find you are making living
but are receiving no returns for
your capital, or laying up dollar
for the future. After careful con-
sideration you will doubtless con-
!clude that you are doing business
on too small a margin and will put
up your prices, say S per cent.
When, after trying the new plan for
a short time and finding you can re-
store the wages of your employees
and still make a reasonable salary
for yourself and fair per cent on
your investment, you are happy and
all is well.
The Democrats undertook to run
this government on tariff that was
absolutely inadequate to meet its
running expenses in time of peace.
The first class of our people to feel
the deficiency was the laboring ele-
ment. Wages were cut down all
over the land and suffering among
the families of the laboring men was
the natural result. The Republican
party assumed the reins of govern
ment and the first thing they said
was: ''You Democrats are trying to
do business on cheap john basis;
we will just put up the tariff few
notches and so arrange it that the
bulk of the tax is collected from the
foreigner who wants to do business
in our country, and from the rich of
our own land" The Dingley bill
is adopted by congress and its prin-
ciples put into active operation.
Soon the shortages of Democratic
mismanagement are wiped out, all
expenses are met and surplus be-
gins to accumulate, and the wages
of the laboring man are again pu'
back to living basis.
Does not that seem like com
mon sense -Susinessrlike way to trea
| the matter? And has it not WORKED
like a charm the last three years.
Why look upon these national pol
icies as something beyond the com.
prehension of the average man!
They are simply the ordinary bust
ness principles of everyday life ap'
piled to our national affairs.
We are now collecting enough
revenue to pay all our expenses ano
gradually reduce the public debt,
, which is being done. You and
pay none of it, to speak of, and ye
we are enjoying all the benefits
Our government is doing busines:
on a paying basis and all labor i:
receiving constant employment a.
advanced wages. Would any labor
t ing man like to return to the want
!, of-work and starvation wages of the
| Cleveland era? If not, let him vote
