PROSPERITY CERTAIN
And LIBERTY ASSURED
Views of Noted Jewish Publisher on
the Country's Future.

AS far as human judgment can fore
see-at least so it seems to the writer
the next four years should be more pros
porous than anything this country has
ever before seen. There will be an enor-
mously increased demand for our natural
products, such as iron, and just now coal;
and our manufactured products are also
rapidly making their way. In certain
lines, such as agricultural implements,
tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever
it is necessary to combine lightness with
strength, we are away ahead of the rest
of the world, and it is only because we
have not cultivated the foreign markets
with sufficient assiduity that we have
given our competitors ghost of show.
In other lines than those mentioned
above, such as ladies' fine shoes and
others that the writer could mention, we
also form a class by ourselves superior to
the rest of the world. These conclusions
are drawn from personal observations in
many countries.
A second point which ought to be
well presented is that of expansion. You
no doubt are aware of the greater or less
persecution which the Jews have under
gone in all the countries of the world, and
are still undergoing to-day. Therefore
one of the things that we desire to see
established above all others is the univer-
sal principle of the right of any decent
man to go anywhere where he thinks he
can improve his condition and enjoy all
the rights and immunities of native,
without being put to any disadvantage
because of his religion. There are really
only two countries that give this privi-
lege; these are the United States and
Great Britain.
We know that freedom for all, equality
for all, and safety and protection for all,
are guaranteed wherever the Stars and
Stripes float; hence we were expansion
lists from the start and will be until the
end. Wherever q country is practically
under American jurisdiction, it is good
thing for that country; it is good thing
for humanity, and a thing that is so good
cannot fail to be a good thing for the
country itself in the end. though it may
be costly in the beginning.
These are the points which we think
ought to be emphasized. The questions
ought to be treated in the very broadcast
way; details do not count.

The MAIN BARNS ON PRESIDENT fcktIhLEYs FARM

McKinley's farm is a profitable one.
In any season when crops are good it
yields richly. This years potato crop
will probably aggregate 1000 bushels.
The corn fields have been known to pro-
duce as high as $500 bushels in a single
year. Last year the meadows produced
100 tons of hay. The oats crop this year
aggregates some 700 bushels.
This is apple butter making time in
this section of the country. Many of the
apples on McKinley's farm, just at the
present time, are being made into apple
butter. The large orchard is an impor-
tant part of McKinley's farm. One good
year LOO bushels Of Baldwins were
gathered and as many more of other
kinds kinds, making a total yield of near
ly $500 bushels. Part of the produce of
the farm has been shipped to Canton
from time to time to the Mckinley home,
but none has ever been sent to Washing
ton. Canton is about twenty miles from
the farm.
Selling milk is one of the industries Of
the farm. There are twenty-five head Of
cattle. There are nine mich cows. Some
of them are blooded stock. Raising

PROTECTION FOR
THE CATTLEMAN.
How 1t Helps the Northwestern Stock.
Raiser to Compete with Canada.

Every one in Cass County, S. D., knows
James S. Landers of Argusville, and he
is pretty we'll known in the State. He
has lived here some twenty years, is a
most successful farmer, and attends
closely to his farm interests. Being Of
English descent, however. it would be
natural that he might favor free trade
ideas. but he has evidently been studying
the effect of protection and free trade on
the farmer, and he sends in the following
letter. for publication, which is worthy
of close perusal by all.

I came down to Fargo to hear the Hon.
J. D. Seaman, and his speech was the
best argument ever heard on political
topic; there was no gas and no wind

can give you good illustration of his
arguments, which | picked up on the
train going to Fargo; it was a freight,
and on the train was a cattle man from
Manitoba. and he was along with 1O2
head of 2-year-old steers. He had ship
ped these from his home. eighty miles
west of Winnipeg. to find market in
this country 1t had cost him 5000 for
duty to enter this stock; his freight was
1914 cents per hundred from Neche to
st. Paul, and then he had to reship to
Chicago. He had been FIVE days on the
way when he reached Fargo.
Now here is the point for my brother
farmers to study a little: This Manitoba
farmer ships his cattle from the other
side of the line to Chicago. pays heavy
duty, pays the freight. feed three times
on the way, suffers heavy shrinkage. and
then sees a better profit at the end than
he can get at homeland after paying all
these expenses.
Here is where we free trade farmers
are blind to our own interests, when we
want these cattle to come in free, and il
this was allowed what would we get for
our stock? They would not be worth the
raising and we would return to beggary,
where thousands were before, under free
trade.
Now, I am interested in cattle, and +
have been considering starting in stock
raising in the Canadian Northwest, where
you can raise steer until he is three
years old for about so. but what can
you get for him then? He is worth about
two cents q pound. and he has to be
good one to bring that.
Oh. no, / guess I'll not try that. but
Mckinley and protection. That is good
enough for me.

why he WILL Be UNABLE TO MAKE ANY SPEECHES
Bryanes Get No Consolation from the Former President
Whom They Claimed Was Lukewarm in the
Campaign.

Gen, Benjamin Harrison is emphatical-
ly for the reelection of President Nc
Kinley. He silenced all statements to
the contrary by making his views known
through the medium of an interview.
''Is it true, general, that you have con-
scented to make some speeches in the
campaign" he was asked.

mo, that statement has not been au-
thorized by me-" was his answer. Il
have said to everyone who has spoken
or written to me on the subject that L
could not do any more campaign work.
1 began to make Republican speeches
the year l began to vote, and have had
a laborious, if unimportant, part in every
campaign, State and national, since until
1898.
"In 1896 7 submitted myself to very
hard usage, and then made up my mind
and so said to my friends that l would
do no more campaigning. Following this
conclusion 1 declined to take speaking
part in the campaign of 1898. My retire
ment dates from that year, not from this.
His Work for Party.
'Few men have made more speeches
for their party than l have, and no ex-
President, l am sure, has made more.
Since I left Washington my retirement
from all participation in party manage
ment has been complete. All that l
have left to others, and l think they have
very generally and kindly accepted my
sense of the proprieties Of the case-at
least between campaigns.
'In a word, l have vacated the choir
loft and taken seat in the pews-with
a deep sense of gratitude to my forbear-
ing fellow countrymen."
But, general, it is said that you are
not altogether in accord with your party"
AS to Porto Rico.
"Well, l have heard that my silence
was imputed by some to that cause. Now,

criticism of the policies of the party was
contained in the interview, consisting Of
one rather short sentence, that l gave

bill was pending.

believe that the legislative power of Con-

"These views. l know, are not held by
many able lawyers. 1t is a legal ques-
tion-one that the political departments

of the government cannot fully adjudge.
The final and controlling word upon this
question is with the Supreme Court Of
the United States. Cases involving the
question are, l understand, pending, and
decision in which we all must acquiesce
cannot be much deferred
Il think, therefore, that voters ought
to vote with view to the right decision
of those questions that are directly and
finally in the control of the President
and Congress.
Firm Against Bryan.
The general reasons gave in my Car
negie Hall speech in 1896 why Mr.. Bryan
should not be elected still hold good with
me. His election would, think, throw
governmental and business affairs into
confusion
I'VE should not aid the election of a
President who would. admittedly, if he
could, destroy the gold standard and 9TH
err things that we value even more, upon
the deceptive suggestion that he has been
bound and that the Republican party will,
after defeat, still have strength enough
to save the temple.
1T will be much better not to allow the
man with destructive tendencies SO much
as to lean against the pillars.
Quotes from the Past.
Perhaps it will save you much trouble
if l give you, and underwrite as of this
date, this extract from my Carnegie Hall
speech:
"'When we have President who be-
lieves that it is neither his right nor his
duty to see that the mail trains are not
obstructed, and that interstate commerce
has its free way, irrespective of State
lines, and courts that fear to use their
ancient and familiar writs to restrain and
punish lawbreakers, free trade and free
silver will be appropriate accompani-
ments of such an administration and cam
not add appreciably to the national dis
tress or the national dishonor.'
Prosperity Is Cited.
''The ecopomic policies of the Repub-
lican party have been indicated by the
remarkable and general prosperity that
has developed during Mr.. McKinley's adj
MISUNDERSTANDING period of great
depression. A change of administration
this fall would almost certainly renew
conditions from which we have so hap
PLY escaped.
This full dinner bucket is not sordid
emblem. 1t has a spiritual significance
for the spiritually minded. 1t means
more comfort for the wife and family,
more schooling and less work for the
children and a margin Of savings for sick
ness and old age"

great deal has been written about Mr.
Bryan's farm, but heretofore no descrip-
ton Of Mr.. McKinley's broad expanse
of corn fields. meadows, cow pastures
and orchards, which comprise 1924 acres
His well-kept barns, corn cribs and wag-
on sheds show care and thrift. The wool
on the backs of 200 sheep shines with
cleanliness, for McKinley's farm is a
model one and modern one. Unlike the
famous Nebraska farm of the Democratic
candidate for President, the public
knows little about it. Two miles from
Minerva, one mile from Bayard, Ohio,
it stands on sloping parcel of ground
surmounted by the orchards of Baldwin
apples. The Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad crosses corner Of the farm and
the Big Sandy canal courses through the
field at one side of the main road.

Crop and Live Stock Gains of Over Billion
Dollars in Value.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROSPERITY AND DEPRESSION.
Marvellous Statement by the Department of Agriculture,
Which Shows Why Farmers Are with the
Administration.

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has just issued it's statement Of
the value of nine of the principal crops
Of the United States. Comparing this
value with the value of the same crops
in 1896 and adding the increased value Of
live stock already published, there is an
increased gain of over one billion two
hundred million dollars.
1t is the difference between prosperity
and depression-between Republicanism
and Democracy.

in 1896.
The figures are supplied by the Depart

money for their cotton than they did in
1896. This year the mills were open and
there was demand for cotton.
American farmers received nearly $40,
100000 more money for their crop of
oats this year than they did in 1896.
They received nearly so 100000 more
money for their potatoes this year than
they did in 1896. People could afford to
buy potatoes this year, as the mills were
open and good wages were being earned.
They received over $14, 00O,OO0 more
money for their barley this year. and
barley is one of the smallest of the sta
pie crops.
They received almost 100000 more
money for their rye crop, which is an
other of the small staples.
American farmers have also gained
over $500,0OO,O00 this year in the value

Money has loaned at lower rates of
interest; both agricultural and manufac-
featuring interests have been stimulated
thereby; and what stimulates these inter-
ests directly stimulates the business of
railroads. The outbound shipments Of
the raw cotton may not have been heavier
because more was used in the Southern
mills; but the outbound shipments Of
textile goods have greatly increased. Also
the inbound shipments of the luxuries Of
life have increased enormously, and this
class of freight is the best paying of all.
Opening mp new markets in Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines for the pro-
ducts Of the South has given great addi-
tiOnal stimulus to the Southern railroads,
which, geographically considered, derive
unusual advantages from the expansion
policy.
The extent to which new factories have
been erected in the States of West Vir-
ginia. Kentucky and Virginia is shown
by the number of establishments started
along the line of the Norfolk and West
ern road during the past year. These in

Three new cotton mills.
One silk mill.
Three knitting factories.
One pulp mill.
One cotton and linseed oil.
One coke bi-product plant.

Bryan and the Popo-Democratic party
have been claiming the railroad vote this
year, especially out in Kansas. On the
train going to Topeka few days ago the
conductor, brakeman and engineer were
all found to be enthusiastic Republicans.
Station agents along the line were also
