2. Your father remembers, two cam
paigns before this when Imperialism and
rnilitarism were the keynote OF the DEM
Ocratic war cry. The inst was, I'm 1854,
when the mighty Lincoln, whose name
You bear, was candidate for ra-eleetion.
! was not quite old enough to vote for
him, although was carrying am Enfield
rifle in the Union army, and remember
how unjust it seemed to me because ]
was old enough to fight and not old
enough to vote. I remember that our
Democratic friends said that the re-elec-
tion OF Lincoln meant the downfall Of
the republic and the establishment Of an
empire by force of arms.
The same cry came to the front in 1872
when Gen. Grant WAS a candidate for re-
election. "Caesarism," "nepotism'' and
military tyranny" were the sum and
substance Of every Democratic speech,
and the downfall of the repablic was pre-
dictedsif Grant should be excited
Well, the logic of events proved that
our Democratic friends were mistaken.
Lincoln and Grant were elected, but the
republic lived on. No empire was estah.
lished. No army tyrannfzed over the peor
plef The nation grew and prospered.
Free speech, free schools and free press
not only continued, but enlarged their
privileges and powers.
In this letter l have shown you that
the presumption is against the Demo-
cratic position.
In every campaign for forty years the
| logic Of events has proved that the DEM
ocrats were wrong and the Republicans
right 1t is not unfair to presume that
such is the case this year.

Germany Prosperous Under Protection
Germany adopted the protective policy
in 1878 and in 1881 and again in 1885
the tariff was made higher and the en-
/ forcement more stringent. Ernest %.
Williams in the National Review Ting
lishl contrasts the development under the
| protective policy.
In 1860, under free trade, the aver
4 age annual production of coal was 3d.
942,0 600 tons; in 1S95-99 it was $780,
600 tons.
/ In $4,000 the pig iron production av.
eraged 1,165,000 tons; in 1899 the pro-
duction was SsI42. 900 tons.

WORK ON SCHOOL
 TO BE RENEWED
MontevaIIo School Building Con-
 mittee Confer With Governor.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, January 27.-(Special)- )-Work on the buildings of the Girls Industrial school at Montevallo will be resumed at an early date, probably as soon as the weather is more favorable for building. Messrs. Thom- as s. Plowman and Charles W. Thompson, members of the building committee, met with the governor in the latter's office at the capitol this morning and held a con- tlnung the work.
 The trustees of the school let the con tract for the work on the prospect of sell ing the lands recently donated to the school by the national congress, but in their fail- ure to sell the lands work was necessarily suspended when the last of the $l5,OO0 ap- propriated by the last general assembly was used up. The committee decided that it would be best not to resume work until the weather was more favorable.
 The committee did not have runds In hand to pay the contractors the balance due on the presidents home, and Senator Thomp- son magnanimously advanced $6,o00 to complete this work, so President Peterson will soon have an elegant home for his family. Colonel Thompson also offered to lend the committee s30 GOO for the purpose of completing the main building, and in all probability the committee will accept his offer. Senator Thompson said this morning that the committee would push the work to completion just as soon as the weather was more favorable for brick and stone work.

HOW A MAN SPENDS LIFE
Some Interesting Figures Compiled by
 Curious Statistician

From the New York World.
 An ordinary man would laugh away as preposterous the suggestion that he was likely to spend 20 years of his life in sleep.
 But that Is because he does not conduct his life according to schedule and really has no idea of how he does spend it.
 As a matter of fact most men over 60 years old have already spent more than 20 years in bed. Which is only one of the surprises in store for the man who sets himself to work to dsicover haw those "A hours that daily slip by so mysteriously are disposed of.
 By a painstaking study of averages skilled statistician has recently arrived at the conclusion expressed in the following figures. They apply to the average Ameri- can man of 60 years of age. They do not

 "As soon as read your book thought Pe-ru-na was the thing I needed. I sent for three bottles and though had been practically voiceless for about eleven weeks, less than two bottles of your medicine caused my voice to re- turn and healed my throat and vocal organs.

After the third bottle night sweats left me and when l had taken the fourth bottle I weighed 145 pounds.

tO OIHeFS tH8I IT ndS 0Geu 10 me.
 Every person who has had Ia grippe during the last year should take course of Pe-ru-na. No one need ex- pect perfect recovery unless they do so. The grippe has produced catarrhal in- f1ammation of the whole mucous mem- brane, and good health is impossible until these are restored to 8 normal condition. This Pe-ru-na will do. A great many remedies have been sug- gested for this condition from time to time, but Fortuna appears to be the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases. It has stood the test of forty years experience and still occupies the unique position of being the leading (if not the only) specific remedy for the after-effects of Ia grippe.

 Eight hours sleeping.
 One hour and thii,y minutes eating.
 Seven hours working.

 Two nours and tflity minutes exercise.
