not promote prosperity
You voted for prosperity and got it. Are
you now going to vote against it?
The Democratic issue of contraction Is one
which doesn't appeal strongly to the voters.
There is no Mrs. David B. Hill to claim that
the recent fight with Boss Croker was fake af:
fair.
The increase in the price of cotton is doubt
less encouraging to Chairman Jones' remarkable
trust.
Mr. Atgeld as the Attorney General ola Bry-
an administration would be every bit as appro-
pirate as Bryan administration.
The dives and brothels of New York are be-
ing levied on for Democratic campaign funds
Boss Croker is a relentless collector
President McKinley's instructions to the Phil
ippine Commission take tie center pin out of the
arguments of the Democratic campaign orators.
Boss Croker declares that only Republicans
are responsible for the wickedness of the Tam
many Ice Trust. Croker is somewhat of a
joker.
The opinion of our new shops in the Pullman
Car Company is another backset to Organism.
The Democratic nominee prospers ON the closing
down prices
Perhaps the able GROWERS will now proceed
to discover that there is a secret alliance by
which we supply England and Germany with
funds and food
Candidate Wharton Baker is unable to under
stand why all of the merriment should be direc-
ted at him as long as Chairman Jones ndulges
in his predictions.
Criticism of Governor Roosevelt's military
career in the interest of Mr.. Bryan and Adlai
Stevenson will be sure to strike the country as
decided bit of nerve.
Possibly Prof Harper might induce the coun-
try to take more interest in the theory of living
on 10 cents a day if it were not SO confident of
the defeat of Mr.. Bryan.
1t is said that Mr. Cleveland will not lift
finger for the Karsas City ticket. He is not so
oblging as those members of his cabinet who
propose to hold their noses while voting for it.
George Fred Williams has figured out the e.
lection Of the Kansas City ticket for the returns
from Vermont and Maine. George Fred is ev-
cry bit as good on election returns as he is on
finance
In looking about for an industry that has de-
clined under Republican administration the
gentlemen who are compoundng the Democratic
campaign literature should not overlook pugi-
lism. Some Of its leading opponents have left
the country in disgust.
Labor is busy, is better paid and has to work
shorter hours than any other country on earth.
Under the Republican administration of the gov
ernment, he is today better fed, better housed,
better clothed, better educated than anywhere
else on Gods green earth and he will be slow to
vote for change.
From nation of borrowers we have become a
lending nation, and interest rates are cheaper to-
day in the United States than anywhere else on
earth. In place of selling bonds in time of peace
we are paying bonds in time of war, all of which
proves that the claim of national prosperity is
based on substantial facts.
What did Ex-Secretary Oney do when he was
Attorney General to check the growth of the
trusts and monopolies? Nothing, but he made
an excuse for doing nothing He said, when At
torney General, the trusts could not be control
led by federal laws, but that they were under
the jurisdiction of state laws and must be protec-
ted against the state officials.
The Hon. John b. Stanchfeld the Democrat
ic nominee for Governor of New York, was an
ardent expansionist before his selection by the
Saratoga convention. In public address he
scored the advocates of the scutte policy and de-
clared his intention Of supporting the govern
