Finding myself SUFFERING VERY
MUCH FROM CATARRH OF THE NOSE

friends In Portsmouth WHO HAD BEEN
CURED BY DIR. FREY. and, acting on
their advice l placed myself under his
treatment. I was SO afflicted that MY
NOSE WAS MOST ALWAYS CLOGGED
UP. SO that could not breathe through
1t at all. and MY VOICE WAS VERY
THICK. My throat was heavy. which
compelled me to be HAWKING AND
SPLITTING. and always awoke with a
dry, bitter taste In my throat and mouth.
l WAS COMPELLED ALSO TO WEAR
EYE GLASSES. as the disease affected
my sight. NOW HAVE NO NEED FOR
GLASSES. AND CAN BREATHE AND

ARE THE PEOPLE ALREADY
SHACKLED?

The Treasury of the United States
and the Treasures Of the States, cities,
counties and towns are full to over
flowing. and they are exciting the solc-
itude and cupidity of that higher class
of cunning thieves who but rarely stoop
vault and who have a fine scorn for
till-tapping and picking pockets. They
are the worst rogues, however, for all
that; and when We see that they are
chiefly interested and anxious about
the vast accumulations of gold in the
Federal Treasury and the gold-bond
it is to issue, we need not be expe-
rienced and Skilled detectives to infer
that a big scheme to loot 1t Is afoot
That scheme Is more revealed than
concealed In the provisions OF the cur
rency bill, now under discussion in the
Senate: and the louder and stronger the
protestations OF dts advocates at Wash
ington and elsewhere that 1t is an hon
est project to benefit government and
people. the more certain Is 1t to tap
the Treasury at the very points AL
legged to engage chiefly the earnest care
and financial devotion OF these advo-
Gates. II Is that patriotism which only
exhibits itself SO signally under an
inspiring sense OF the swag to be di-
vided, and whose eloquence rises with
the dividends 1t expects to receive: for
surely those able gentlemen who are
paid only 5000 year by the people
to hold the fort" will be more gen
erously recompensed by the besiegers
of the fort for their services in an
honorable" surrender No intelligent
person can possibly hear or read the
advocates OF this scheme without
fun and positive conviction that. as
far as 1t goes. 1t Is designed to enable
accomplices within the government TO
unbolt every safeguard of the Treasury
to the principal robbers without: and
that If the indignant and despoilcd pco-
pie shall resent and resist the whole
sale robbery. the government itself, or
the administration. shall interpose, in
criminals and crush the people, with all
the civil and military forces that have
been prepared to meet just such a cri-
sis.
But if such laws as this bill are en-
acted and their purpose followed up,
such crisis is sure to come, what ever
may be its result-a rescue OF popular
government. or the fastening of an
imperial military despotism upon u.s.
Free men do not tamely submit to such
outrages; and If such are the fruits
Of the progress. civilization and devel-
opment of the age. what a horrible
blunder it was in our forefathers to re-
'sist British oppression and become free
and independent States only to fall vic

IMPERIALISM, OUR KIND.

Imperialism? Yes, we are for
imperialism. We are for the
building up of the grandest empire
the world has ever seen; with ev-
cry citizen an emperor and every
man king. We believe that the
principles, and the institutions of
the United States of America ought
to be CO. extensive with the world.
We believe that American civiliza-
ton and enterprise, and enlighten-
ment cannot enter any land with
out benehting it. We know that
the true spirit of the people of this
country is, and always has been for
the uplifting of the masses of the
people We know that with Amer
lean control goes the liberty of the
press and public opinion, the estab-
lishment of public schools, and the
prosperity of the people. Yes, we
are in favor of imperialism, and
more than that, we are in favor of
national government so strong
and centralized that outrages to
our citizens can take place no
where on United States soil. We
are for government that can
make national laws relative to all
the great questions of government.
We are in favor Of strong national
election laws that shall re-enfran-
chise the helpless southern laborer.
We are in,favor of national gov
eminent that has the power to
make uniform laws concerning
many things throughout the United
States. We favor a national law
as to marriage and divorce, so that
the sacred ties of family shall not
be made a farce by incompetent
legislatures and petty courts. We
favor giving congress sufficient
power, as was proposed by the re-
publican members, to regulate and
control vast corporations and bust
ness institutions. We favor max
ing the state as much subordinate
to the nation, as the county now is
to the state. If this be imperial
ism, we are imperialists and would
invite our democratic friends to
make the most of it.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-14
FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING.

Here are few facts for our dem
ocratic friends to consider:
Freedom of speech and freedom
of ballot exist in every republican
state.
In the majority of the democrat
ic states they do not exist.
The public debt averages three
times greater in democratic states
than in republican states.
The states of the union showing
the least illiteracy are republican
states.
The states of the union showing
the greatest per cent. of illiteracy
(and we are willing to restrict this
to white citizens) are democratic
states.
The test of time within the last
third of a century has proven that
every position maintained by the
republican party has been right,
and that every position maintained
by the democratic party has been
wrong. BY this we mean the great
policies of government.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-14

The issue which gave birth to
republican party that the Union
must be preserved and slavery
abolished, was the right one.
The action of the republican
party in restoring specie payment,
was the right one.
Experience proves that the re-
publican policy of a protective
tariff has greatly benefited the en-
tire people of this country.
We believe that the majority of
the democrats of this country will
agree with us that the republican
position against the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of rs to has
also proven to be right.
With these examples before us,
1t is no wonder that our democratic
friends are driven to seek new and
untried issues. The past and its
lessons are all against them; they
must of necessity look to the flu
ture. AS they cannot condemn
policies already enacted, they must
condemn policies yet unborn.
The voters should not be misled
by vague, though loud alarms.
They should consult the past his
tory of this country, they should
look to the issues which more near
ly affect them in their daily lives.
Let the blight of free silver fall
upon this country, and we will
soon have no foreign policy at all.
1t is only the great, strong, pros.
porous nation whose opinion has
any weight with the people of the
world, or that has any power and
force with which to carry out a
policy should it have one. Let us
first see to it that the prosperity of
this country is based upon broad
and substantial basis, that every
man is given opportunity to de-
velop the best that is in him, and
IS fairly rewarded for his labor.
In civil government the precept
should be: "Seek ye first the well
fare of your own people and all
else shall be added unto you"
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-14

he came nearer to abiding in his
astral body, if such thing there
be, than any other man we ever
knew. Mr.. Clark has written
more platforms for the republican
party of Iowa than any other man
has written for this or any other
state. And it is due to him that
the republicans of Iowa have all
ways stood in the vanguard of re-
publican principles.
One by one the great pioneers
of Iowa journalism are going to
their final resting place. When
looking over the work of the great
men of the preceding generation,
it does ever seem how weak and
degenerate is the present, but we
have a faith that somehow and
somewhere men will be raised up
to carry on the great work of the
world.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-08-14

have just as fair treatment as
democratic vote, no matter in what
state it is cast, and until this is
accomplished no republican can
truthfully call himself a free man.
He may be free in Iowa or in llli
nois, but he would not be free in
Mississippi or North Carolina, and
the same fearless expression of
opinion exercised by the demo-
Gratis of the north would not be al
lowed the republican it he moved
to southern state.
The republican is comparatively
free, the democrat absolutely so.
There is no comparison in the
humanity, justice and decency with
which the republican administra-
ton has treated the new domains
under its control, and the in-hu-
mainly, injustice and indecency
with which the democratic majority
of the south has treated the repub-
lican minority under its control.
Every comparison instituted will
result favorable to the republicans.
1t is this fact which makes us so
indignant, and so entirely out of
patience with the democratic howl
about "imperialism." They know
that they are insincere; they know
that wherever they have the power
they are the worst of tyrants; they
know that federation has never been
a part of their creed. They make
great cutlery because of the postal
frauds in Cuba. We make no de-
Tense of these crimes, they are in
excusable, but we insist that
whereas the republican administra-
ton has taken every step to bring
these criminals to Justice, in the
democratic city of New York fraud
lis rampant and UNPUBLISHED.

DEATH OF SAM OZARK.

On Saturday night occurred the
death of Hon. Sam M. Clark, edi-
tor of the Gate City at Keokuk.
So far in its history, Iowa has
not produced more than a dozen
editors, who were truly entitled to
be called great. Mr.. Clark stood
very nearly, if not not quite at the
head of the list. His writings
were of such force and strength,
and yet written with such graceful
eloquence and charming diction
that they deserved more perma-
nent place in literature than the
emphemeral columns of the daily
press. We consider Mr.. Clark as
one of the potent factors in hold
ing Iowa true for SO many years to
the standards of republicanism and
good government. Mr.. Clark was
a personal and familiar friend of
the late editor of the REVIEW, MIR.
]. Fred Meyers, and neither could
say enough in praise of the writ
ings and life work of the other.
Physically Mr.. Clark was weak,
sickly, and incapable; mentally, he
was giant. We have never seen a
case where it seemed more that two
separate entities were united in one
man. 1t always appeared to us that

LET US REJOICE.

Let us rejoice and be exceeding
glad. Let US give thanks unto
the Oliver of all good and perfect
gifts. From the hand of His boun
ty the glorious rain has fallen, and
every hillside proclaims its boun-
teous harvest.
Our fertile county, always rich
and always productive, promises
to repay the labor of the farmer
this year with the most bounteous
harvest ever known. The tabled
riches of the east,the golden sands
OF Alaska, the rich ore-laden led.
es OF the west, are not more
productive of wealth than the beau
tlful sweeping hills of Crawford.
Not only will the harvest be mag
nllcent, but the price fair and re-
numerative. Hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars must be paid by
the world at large to Crawford this
year for food stuHs, many thous-
ands OF dollars more than it will be
necessary for the people Of this
county to pay for a comfortable
living.
The bounteous harvests and the
prevailing good prices mean better
business for every merchant, more
work for every artisan; they mean
payment of Indebtedness, adding
of Injuries to the home and the
building of new houses.
Without the recent rains we
would have had good crops, with
them the corn crop will be a record
breaker. And therefore, we say,
let us rejoice and be exceeding
glad; let us give thanks unto the
Glver of every good and perfect
gift.

WANTED HIS FARE RUNG up.
An Italian Who Demanded Music OF
the Street Car Conductor.

the Street Car Conductor
The conductor of a Brooklyn trolley
car had peculiar experience with an
Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
described the incident:
~ boarded the car with six otter pas
sengers, including an Italian, at the
suburban end of the road on one of the
late trips. The car had gone short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went we'll for
about half mile, when the. Italian
jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
Me waE;a my fva centa back
The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
insisted:
Every boda getta music for fiya
centa; me no got
ne conductor grasped the situation
at once. and. seeing that he was ac-
cused of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there We're seven passengers on the
car and that that number of fares We're
registered. He also explained why the
Italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
"'While collecting the fares in the
front part of the car l rang up one.
fare too much, and if rang up yours
would be out 5 cents
While this explanation was going on
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'fiva centa,' and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down,
still jabbering at the conductor"-New
