THE FULL DINNER PAIL.

Mr.. W. ]. Mallard, of Atlanta, Ga, a
travelling salesman, who is much impressed
with the danger the country Is in from Mr.
MCKiney's imperialstc policy, makes anti
Republican speeches in all towns he visits
He delivered telling address from store
box in the public square in Hagerstown on
the issues OF the day and held large audi
ence for two hours.
In showing how the trusts operated he
brought the matter right home TO his hearers
by referring to the Bicycle Trust and the
effect 1t had upon the prosperity of Hagers.
town, which prior to Mr.. McKinley's cleo.
ton had flourishIng Independent bicycle
factory, working at one time, night and day,
as high as LOO or 1900 hands. Then the
trust came along and absorbed the plant,
which is now, the speaker said, little more
than a repair shop, giving employment to a
few hundred people The throwing out Of
employment OF so many people caused many
families to leave town Now, said Mr.. NAL
lard, there are four or five hundred empty
houses in Hagerstown and business IS worse
than stagnant. He wanted to know where
the "full dinner pail" which the Republi
cans talk so much OF came in for the work
ingmen OF Hagerstown.
He said some of the most respectable
ladies of Hagerstown, by reason OF the mer
beng thrown out of employment, wert
forced by the trust to work in factories a
81 and SO week He wanted TO know
what his hearers thought of that kind o
prosperity.
A Republican in the audience shouted
"Wby don't you tell us OF the Van Wycl
New York Ice Trust ?" Mr.. Mallard replied
that the president and all the directors o
that Ice Trust were Republicans. The in
quisitor, when the laugh was turned OF
him, sneaked out of the crowd.

says, "The Courier has always been
success because of the intelligent,
brave and energetic conduct of it's
management"
In the Courier's annual review edi-
ton of December "a, 1890, appears
the following:
"a big boom came to Ottumwa on
the Sth of August, 1S4S, in the shape
of newspaper, the Ottumwa Courier,
the same paper which today publishes
these notes of Ottumwa's infancy. R.
H. Warden was the founder of the
paper and took into partnership j. H.
d. Street. The first issue of the Cour-
Ter caused more excitement among
the people of Ottumwa and Wapello
county than the opening of the coal
palace. Farmers came in from dis
lance of from eight to ten miles to
see the first paper printed. The type
and press were purchased from the
old Cincinnati Type Foundry, and had
been used on defunct abolition paper
called the Philanthropist. They were
shipped by the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers to keokuk, thence by wagon and
OK team to Ottumwa. All the male
population turned out to help unload
and set up the press. and from that
day to this the Courier has continued
upon the even tenor of ITS way. The
Courier was the first paper published

to compete with us for orr home mar

employees does not mean an increase
beyond reasonable limits in prices

coming to be understood that wages
and prices must be reasonable if the
products are to be sold and this rule
is being gradually applied and adjust

In no period of our history has its
march been so rapid and so marked
as under the administration of Nc
Kinley. Why?
No man who ever filled the presiden-
tial office has had so broad an exper-
fence in the economic questions of la
Dor and its products as had Mr.. Nc
kinley. For thirty-fve years he has
watched and studied these questions,
and, as president, he has shaped, as
far as he could, all results to the ends
OF justice between employe, employ
er and consumer of manufactured
products. Years ago he saw that we

lie saw that we must adjust our legis-
lation to meet the coming change, and
that such changes must be gradual,
so that there would be no violent shock
to any interest.

The BRYAN Vote.

The Conservative: Mr.. Bryan has
frequently made the claim that he re-
ceived an unusually large popular vote
in 1896. Because of the oft-repeated
assertions of this character, many peo-
pie have been deceived into believing
that Mr.. Bryan proved an exceptional
~ strong candidate and would have
been president if the popular vote in
stead of the electoral vote had deter
mined the result. To correct an inn
preston so at variance with the facts
it is only NECESSARY to refer to the his
tory of presidential elections.
F. H. Clifford has compiled the presi-
dental vote, from the first campaign
of Jackson in 1924 to the election in
1896. twill be surprise to many an,
ardent Bryanarchist to know that the
representative of the sacred ratio re-
ceived the smallest per cent of the pop
ular vote of any democratic nominee
during the entire period. The defeat
OF Greeley has always been regarded as
the most humiliating disaster to the
democratic party. Greeley received "A
per cent Of the popular vote This rec
ord OF Greeley was eclipsed by Bryan
in 1896. Mr.. Bryan received but 40
per cent of the popular vote. This
showing ought to silence the absurd
claims put forth by Bryanarchists,
whose lack of judgment is in part com
pensated for by an excess Of enthu-
siasm. There is but one possibility for
the democrats to duplicate the humili-
ating record Of 1896 and that is by re-
peating the nomination made at that
time.

A Labor Plank at Last.
lFrom Gunton's Magazine for July

from Gunton's Magazine for July.)
The republican platform, just adopt
ed at Philadelphia, contains the first
direct recognition of labor's claim to
special and specific consideration in
public policy that has ever appeared
in a national platform OF either of thu
two great political parties. The plank
is as follows:
TN the further interest of Americn
workmen we favor more effective re-
striction of the immigration of cheap
labor from foreign lands, the extension
of opportunities of education for work
ing children, the raising of the age lin
it for child labor, the protection Of
free labor as against contract, convict
labor, and an effective system OF labor
insurance."
OF course it is true that most of the
industrial legislation for labor is out
side the power of national legislation
and must be enacted by the separate
states, but this plank is an official dec
laration committing the republican par
ty to the principle of labor legislation.
1t should be taken as the party doc
trine on that subject in every state.
Republicans who are candidates for
legislative or executive offices in the
future may properly be held to the ac-
ceptance OF this doctrine. and refusal
to cooperate for national legislation III
these directions is, hereafter, desertion
of the principle and policy of the re-
publican party. It is especially encour-
aging to note that this brief declara-
ton endorses the principle of labor in
surance.

WILL DECEIVE NO ONE.

z The democratic national platform
will deceive no one. Its sonorous ut
terances upon so-called imperialism"
are based upon falsehood and unwar-
ranted assumption. Its declarations
as to existing conditions are untrue
and will not stand the test of the thor
ough investigation and discussion of a
great national campaign. The whole
fabric of the platform, SO far as Sim
perialism" is concerned will fall of its
own inherent weakness, because it has
no real foundation upon which to
stand. The only genuinely sincere ut
terance of the democratic platform is
that which commits the party unequivo-
cally to the ruinous financial policy of
the immediate free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. This is the one
honest declaration of the democratic
platform. It will be SO regarded by
the people and will be met with over
whelming defeat, even greater than
that which it received in 1896.

president entirely overshadowed the i'm

demand of his own state for promotion
merely, it was spontaneous uprising

over their heads and swept them all off
their feet.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not shelvable guam
tity; he is an energetic, intelligent,
scholarly, patriotic, philosophical
man. lie is clean, honest and efficient,
he makes an impression wherever he
goes, and he always heads for and aids
progress. He can neither be bullied or
bought but can always be advised. Such
a man in the vice presidency ought to
and probably will shake the dry dust
out of that Office and breathe into il
the breath of life, raise it to the digni-
ty it possessed in the days of Adams
and Jefferson. If MI. Roosevelt car
ries to the vice presidency that same
vlrlle efficiency which has characterized
his entire public career, in 1904 we may
once more see what occurred in 1896
and 1s00,-the vice president promoted
by popular demand to the presidency.

THE IRREGULAR,

No man knows more about the
British army in war and peace than
Rudyard Kipling. Mr.. Kipling has
been in South Africa during the
greater part of the present war and
has had many opportunities to OBJ
serve the army and to judge of it's
effectiveness. The result of his OBJ
seryations he is beginning to make
known to the world thru some char
acteristic stories. From these we see
that the thing which seems most to
have Impressed Mr.. Kipling in this
war was the indefatigable energy and
superior effectiveness of the irregular
contingents such as colonial troops,
rough riders and volunteer pioneer
corps. He is never tired of praising
the South African volunteer pioneers,
of which, he says, every private was a
skillful mechanic or mine engineer.
To them he gives the whole credit
for the magnificent way in which the
railways and bridges were rebuilt at
ter the Beers had destroyed them.
On the other hand, Mr.. Kipling
seems to have been much struck
with the ineffectiveness and stupidity
of the regular troops, officers as we'll
as rank and file. He speaks in this
connection chiefly of those troops
which came out from England, the
Indian contingent having acquired by
much service something of the nobil-
ity and hardihood of irregular troops.
Coming as it does from an ortho-
dox believer in the regular army this
tribute to the irregulars is splendid
one. 1t might be noticed, too, that
the effectiveness of the American
army may be laid to the same reason
as that given for the effectiveness of
the irregular troops, viz: That every
man, instead of being a mere wooden
automoton is living, thinking being,
who believes heart and soul in the
cause he is fighting for.

coNeER,s PROPHETIC WARNING.

Minister Conger has the profound
admiration of every American citizen
for the courage and strong good sense
he has shown in the diplomatic nego-
tiations preceding the outbreak of
hostilities in China. His grasp of the
situation seems to have been unusu.
ally clear and far-seeing. On May 1S
he warned the Chinese foreign Office
(Tsung-Li-Yamen) Of the consequence
es it might expect If the treaty viola
tons continued. That warming in
cluded the following prophetic
words. 81 can only speak for my own

"A CRIME REPEATEp."

The st. Paul Globe, which has al
ways been one of the staunchest dem
ocratic papers in the country, but
which could not stomach the free sill
yer policy of its party four years ago,
has announced that it will not support
the party ticket this year. In it's edi-
torial making known this determin-
alton, under the heading "A Crime Re-
peated," the Globe says:
A lapse of four years finds the
democracy. of the country confronted
by. the same peril which proved it's
undoing in 1896. How does 1t meet
the emergency? By once mere embrac-
ing the danger and adopting the folly
and falsehood under the burden of
which it had been brought to the
borders of ruin in it's last national
campaign
"The Globe stands today where it
stood four years ago. 1t is now as it
was then, opposed to the free coinage
idea. 1t gave expression to it's oppo-
sition then; right principle and fair
dealing with its party associates and
with the country demand that it give
expression to it now. There is less,
If possible, to justify compromise or
commencement now than there was
then. The party went blindly to its
fate then; it goes now open-eyed, and
because OF it's domination by one man.
"a body claiming to be deliberative
in character which will submit, with
out protest, to coercion into the pur-
suit of a policy which has already
proven fatal and which is openly re-
pudiated by the intelligence and en-
llghtenment of the country, presents
to the Globe no valid claim to having
It's DEGREES respected, even tho it pur-
ports to give voice to the convictions
of the Democracy.
1T lies in the mouth of no demo-
crat who accepts the dedication which
forced the 16 to folly into his ma
tional platform to say aught against
the accepted control of the republican
national convention by senator Hanna
of Ohio. That control at least led in
directions which pointed toward pos
sible success. The contcol. of William
j. Bryan, which, under threat of with
drawal, forced the free silver false
hood down the throat of the Kansas
City convention, points to a path
way already Travelled over in the jour
ney to democratic defeat and dis
aster."

MONTHLY STATEMENTS.

Every business house in the coun-
try that is conducted on modern and
up-to.date methods, sends to it's pa
irons monthly statements of account.
This is found necessary in order to
keep the accounts straight and in or
der that errors may be avoided. The
Courier has decided to adopt this
modern method Of doing business and
hereafter monthly statements of ac-
count will be sent to all patrons of
the Courier, where the account is due
or about to become due. These state.
ments are not duns in any offensive
sense. OF course it is recognized by
every one that the safeguard of all
business enterprises is in prompt col
lections. Experience also proves that
short settlements make long friends.
The Courier is publishing, what we
confidently believe to be the largest
and best semi-weekly newspaper in
the United States. The price at which
this paper is published leaves only q
small margin of profit, and unless
collections are promptly made the
paper cannot be published except at
loss. The history of the newspaper
business in ottumwa for the past six
years has clearly demonstrated this
fact We make the above statement
SO that none Of our subscribers will
take offense at the receipt of the
monthly statements which will here
after be sent out.
