An Old Paper.

Charles Van Gorder showed us a
paper the other day printed in New
York the fall of 1874 when James X.
Polk was running for president en- the
democratic ticket and Henry Clay was
the wing candidate. He obtained it
on his recent trip to New York state.
1t is quite curiosity and a nice me-
mento. 1t speaks to this generation like
voice from the far away past. Then
the democratic party was a great ex-
pansion party. While the wings we're
not opposed to annexing territory if it
did not too much advance slavery, the
democratic party seemed to want to
annex every thing in sight. 1t wanted
to reoccupy Oregon and reannex Tex
as. History shows the democratic
party has become very inconsistent on
that one question, changing in the
course of time to opposition to expan-
sion.
But on another question it is proving
to be very consistent, that of opposi-
ton to protection of American indus
tries. In the paper to which we refer,
which was. a poper published in Folks
interests, manufactures in this coun-
try is greatly belittled and made fun
of. II the democratic party of that
day, fifty-six years ago, could have had
a glimpse of American factories:of to-
day established under the principles
and by help of protection, they would
not have believed their vision. Old
Henry Clay himself scarcely predicted
such wonderful success. Democracy
has record of being consistent on
question when it gets on the wrong
side of it.

One should think more of the nation
than any political party.-Advocate.
What does the Advocate mean by that
Does it mean that the success of the
republican party would endanger the
nations life? 1t is pity that partisan
ship should drive the Advocate to such
an extreme. Reasonableness even in
politics pays. If the editor Of the
Advocate would think he would recall
that the republican party has done
important service during its existence
in helping preserve the constitution
and the nation.

A Pair of Great States.

One of them has 1900, 900, the other
10000 acres within its boundaries;
either the Mississippi or the Missouri
river flows through large part of one
or the other of them; one state con
tains 10000 lakes-the finest of their
kind, and this lake region is a regular
park land, where the best of land and
timber are found; the other state has a
wonderful valley the Red River-that
is the greatest wheat producing valley
in the world. These states are Minnie
sofa and North Dakota.
For general and mixed farming
small fruits, etc, Minnesota cannot be
beat. For wheat, flax and other
grains, North Dakota is unsurpassed.
To the surprise of many, corn is easily
raised in either state. One county in
North Dakota raised more than 100000
bushels of corn, yet this is the great
wheat growing state of the Union.
The Indians have raised corn there for
hundred years.
Churches, Dewspapers, schools, and col.
leges are many; railways run eyery-
where. AS general health resort OF
a specific for those suffering from lung
troubles and hay fever, the praries and
forests of Minnesota are noted,

The Indians Face.

The new silver certificate just issued
by the treasury department a few of
which have already been received by
our banks, is original and unique in
design. The conspicuous part of it is
the big picture of an Indian chief in
the center of it. Just what the big
chief knew about finance is not evident.
What right he has to preempt or squat
upon the location heretofore held in
rndisputed possession by Chase and
Mccullough and Garfield and Lincoln
and the long list of American finan-
ciers and statesmen is not set forth
upon the certificate. The Indians
face has lent establishment to the
copper cent for long time, but until
now the pale face had been allowed to
have his picture upon the paper money.
As it was not supposed the red man
knew anything about the intricacies of
money that had to have redeemer in
order to be good, it was not supposed
to be proper to put his picture upon it.
The Indians picture recalls the fact
of the prevalence of Indians names
over the country. If one traveles
across this country from here to the
Pacific and notices the geographical
names, one will find the Indian, if he
has lost his country, has left his
memory fixed in the names. Our states
and rivers and mountains are nearly
all named so as to commemorate the
name and language of poor Lo.

Arayott, Luzon, P. /. June 81, 1900.
Dear friend j. w. b. Cole Il thought
| would write you letter to let you
know how / am getting along. L am
we'll and hope these few lines will find
you the same. l just got back from a
trip up in the mountains. We were up
there six days. 1t was the hardest
six days l ever put in. There are
about 800 "niggers' up in the mount
aims with guns around here. They
come down out of the mountains every
once in while and raise little hell.
They sent three columns against them
the other day but they got away. Gen.
Grant went up from the front and
Gen. Funston from the right with the
cavelry and the Maccabee soldiers and
Gen. Young from the left with his out
| fit, but the "niggers" crossed the
mountain and got away. They march
ed us hard through the hot sun in
the day and of night of course it
would rain and We sleep all night in
the rain and mud with nothing over us.
There was only few shots exchanged,
only one man hit out of our outfit.
The other week CAPTAIN Godfrey of
company A and private were killed.
The ringers" run the 35 vol. inf. clear
out of the mountains and back to San
McGill. They run off and left their
wounded for the 'niggers' to pick them
up. The "niggers" captured one cap
tain and five or six soldiers and killed
four or five. We recaptured one poor
fellow up there with his leg shot nearly
off. 1t was awful climbing up one
hill and down another. You would
have to take hold of bush and pull
your self up, but when our regiment
started up ON that mountain the mig
gers" ran the other way, they knew we
were regulars fromthe way we went up
after them. And they knew we would
get them too if they didn't leave, SO
they thought it time to go. They have
been getting pretty fresh lately. They
attacked San Isrido about week ago
and there was 100 ringers killed and
picked up in the streets at San Isrido.
The boys fired volleys down the street
and caught the "niggers'. coming in
punches.
Well you will see part of the his
tory of the 22nd U. s. Inf. in that paper
/ sent you bet you will not see any
where near all of it. Mexico, Condaba,
San Antains and San McGill and sew
eral other towns in this vicinity have
been attacked all around us but not
our town. / think the reason is they
know E Co. is here. nj and X COM
panies We're attacked and one man of
company M was killed. They burned
| the town all but the barracks. The
boys found eight good ''niggers' in the
street the next morning. Well good
bye. VIM. H. BEEDLE,
Co. + 22d Inf.

If We were to believe the Kansas
City orators, Abraham Lincoln was q
democrat. 1t is enough for those peo-
pie to falsify the present and seek to
mystify the people as to existing con-
ditions without perverting authentic
history. The men who dictated the
platform and ticket at Kansas City
would oppose Lincoln and the preser-
vers of the union as much now as they
did in the day of Lincoln were he still
in flesh and activity and interested in
political movements. They proceed
upon the theory that good republicans
are always dead republicans. Carroll

The Advocate refers 10 the ice

The Advocate refers to the ice trust
of New York City as small COM
bination." 1t is not considered very
small concern over there. It is making
several rich men richer and is oppres-
sing poor people. The fact that it is
managed by democratic statesmen
should not make it appear to the Ad-
vocate as small combination" Van

mittee on resolutions at Kansas City,
and Boss Croker, the close political
friend and adviser of Bryan, are lead
ing stockholders in the concern.

John Griggs who is somewhat of a
philosopher, was the other day repeat.
ing owes lot of "glittering generali-
ties" such as "all men are created free
and equal" and "all governments
derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed
and ended by saying as to five
OF these general propositions he had
just quoted that he could point out
exceptions to every one of them. As
to the last one quoted above he said he
agreed with Jefferson in The general
proposition but, he said, Jefferson
Davis tried to lead thirteen states out
of the Union. We now get the con-
sent to govern them but we had to
pound the consent into them"

Senator Gear Died Poor.

Burlington Gazette: There is no
argumen so infallible in determining
the absolute and rigid honesty of a
member of the United States Senate
as by the amount of his earthly riches.
The entire estate left by John H. Gear,
both in real and personal property am-
cunts to less than 5000. For fifteen
years he served in the congress and
senate of the United States. In con-
gress he was an important member of
the committee on ways and means, a
position which, in the hands of some,
leads to enormous wealth. For years
he was chairman of the senate COM
mittee on Pacific railroads, another
position in which the temptation to
make the slightest departure from the
rigid paths Of recitude meant colas-
sol fortune. John H. Gear died poor
man. What better argument could be
used?

A Statesman out of a Job.

Hon. John Allen, of Mississippi, is
one of the ablest of the congressional
delegation from that state and an old
member. He has temporarily at least
retired from politics, and at recent
banquet made the following witty
speech explaining why it had become
necessary for such democrats as him
self to get out of the way of the popu-
list movement. 1t is we'll worth read
ing.
why am out of job? During
the campaign of 1896 l followed our
peerless leader the equal of Webster
and Clay, Calhoun and Cass consolidate
ed in an intellectual trust. At one hun
bred and thirty-four separate places I
made speech of which the following
is correct report. 1 will edify you
with some of my prophecies. Among
them I said:
If Mckinley is elected and the gold
standard is maintained, dire disaster,
grim catastrophe and quaint famine,
will career bowling through the land.
Wheat will sell at forty, corn at ten,
oats at fifteen cents a bushel and cot
ton at four cents a pound. Everything
my friends the plain people'-if l may
quote the lofty language of our in
spired and peerless leader-produce
will sell for nothing or be given away
and boot paid to those who will con-
descend to take it ;and all the thing the
poor mana friend always to our peer
lees leader-has to buy will be raised
to conspiracy 70 rob the toiling mil
lions. 1t presents us a future filled
with blood crushed out of labor by the
plutocratic chariots of diabolical greed
and devasting gold
Now that speech was made in good
faith. / was meekly following our
peerless leader. MY prophecies were
his prophecies and I humbly emulated
his wonderful power as delinestor of
calamities to come. But, gentlemen,
We little knew the power of Mark
Hanna. He got under the markets. He
lifted up corn, wheat, oats, cotton, beef,
pork, wool and potatoes. But he did
not lift politicians, like our peerless
leader and myself, who had made fore
casts of the Unreasonable wreck and
ruin which would inevitably follow the
gold standard like a shadow. No! No!
our peerless leader and were let
down to price level lower than he
ever predicted for corn. The demand
for statesmen out of job has been
over supplied and in sack cloth and
ashes we gaze with streaming eyes up
on furnaces afame, shops humming
with the orchestra of saw, hammer,
anvil and plane, and our ears are every
where assailed under the malign power
of gold, Hanna and Mckinley, with
the monotony of the sounds of content
ed industry and the hymns of comfort
from happy homes
Thus that eminent and popular
brand of historical and emotional
craftsmanship, so pulsatingly and vo-
ciferously typifed by our peerless
leader and myself, is quite generally
out of job. The gold standard and
prosperity in the United States are to
populism, to sixteen-to-one and other
vagaries as Paris green to the coddling
moth, cats to rats, robins to worms and
the fine-tooth comb in the hair of the
head of vermine afflicted urchin. But
again We march after our peerless
leader who still inspires us by precept
and by lofty and holy example to hunt
q Job"

In our Des Moines political cores
pondence this week is most excellent
article headed Rising Prices" 1t
should be read by every one in Audi
bon county. Its figures and its argu-
ments are irresistible. If the prices OF
live stock had been shown also, it
would have appeared that prices are
even more advanced on what Iowa
farms produce, for live stock rather
than grain is really what Iowa produces.
