General Edward 5. Bragg. of Wiscon-

gade in the civil war, will support Me-
Kinlcy and Roosevelt. In n recent
speech at Chicago he said: Il am with
Mckinley solely in consequence of the
sound money issue. That of itself is
enough to gain him the support of
every honest man in the country. The
Democratic party is in a state Of de-
composition, but ! have seen very pretty

For the present campaign, however, 1
am with Mckinley. The other issue in

for we are all agreed about them. | do
not think, however, that this country is
in any danger from trusts. II the
demagogues would let them alone the
trust problem would work out its own
solution" While General Bragg is not
in harmony with the administrations
PHILIPPINE policy, altogether, he still
regards Bryan as a dangerous man to
place at the head of this government.

GREAT r o MARKET.
Natural Advantage Made the Most
of In Cleveland.

Natural Advantages Made the Most
of In Cleveland.
Cleveland ranks as the greatest iron
ore market In the world. Sixty per
cent of the Lake Superior output Is re-
ceived in the port Of this district, and
II is the center to which manufacturers
who do not not own mines look for
their supplies. BY reason Of her fame
as an ore market the city's iron inter-
ests are conspicuous. There are large
blast furnaces here which roll steel and
structural material and produce rods
and wire. Steel rails are made here,
and the big rudder frames for the lat
est and best battleshlps were construct
ed in Cleveland.
Practically all the best sugar ma
chinery Of the country is made here.
Twist drills Of the best quality are
among the iron products. Nut and bolt
works, steel bridge plants and iron and
steel shaping concerns are common.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that this
city was the ideal location for the
greatest iron and steel producing re-
gion In the world. Immense forglngs
are made here, and electrical equip
ment constructed In this city is sent
into all parts of the world. Metrical
instruments Of the best kind are made
here. The superiority Of the city as an
iron center Is due to both natural and
acquired advantages. Cleveland is the
greatest receiving and distributing
point on the great lakes, and Its rail-
road facilities are the best.
