Prosperity means ability to live
comfortably and pay any debts you
may have contracted. In 1898 Du-
bois county citizens had mortgages
on their property for $l7S.534. In
1899 the value Of the mortgages had
increased to 1912, 154. Does this
indicate a solid prosperity in this
county, or does it not show that cit
isens have been mortgagine their
property to secure their indebted.
ness instead Of paying cash? OF
course the few who hsd money to
loan, were prosperous, but the many,
to the number OF 4l2, had to mort
gage their property to secure their
creditors. And it is SO al over the
State. The apparent prosperity is
the result OF the many borrowing
from the few. II you want to con-
tinue this kind of prosperity vote for
Durbin and the rest of the Repub-
licans, together with Mark Hanna
and Mckinley. II you want pros
perity that will enable you to pay
your debts and live decently, vote
for Kern, the Democratic State
ticket, and Bryan, liberty and
"equal rights to all; spe-
eisl privileges to none"

Fifty-eight heretofore leading Re-
publicsns have joined in an "Ad
dress to Independent Voters" uig
ing them tn support Bryan in the
coming e.ection.
In no other political contest since
1928 have 80 many acknow lodged
leaders OF men united in an address
to thoughtful American voters,
against their former political associ-
ates and the President whom their
efforts succeed, d in elevatirg to
that high office. When such men
revolt against their party, and give
their reason for the revolt, it is a
time when every American, who
sincerely desires the welfare Of his
county, and the preservation Of its
liberties, to stay his partisan feel
ings for time and decide by his
own intelligence, whether the reason
which induced their change in pol
itics should not, also, influence
him.
The men who put forth this ad-
dress, from Gov. Boutwell,, of Mass
achusetts, Sec'y Of the Treasury
during President Grants admins
tration, to Prof. Charles Zueblin, of
the Chicago University, are all stu.
dents Of political history, and know
the dangers to liberty which have
heretofore overthrown the Republics
Of the past, and how eagerly ana
successfully wealth and power usu-
ally encruach upon the natural
rights of the common people, until
former Republics became tyrranies
but few years before they merged
into empires and absolute mon
arches. Do the American people
want that to be the end Of our free
Republic? The election Of McKis-
ley Hanna will be long stride in
that direction.
