True as Gospel.

In his speech at the Ohio Republican
State Convention, Senator Foraker
said:
THE Democratic party came into
power. Prosperity vanished, and four
years of disaster followed. The soil was
as rich, the sunshine was as warm, the
rains were as abundant, the seasons
were as regular, and labor was as
eager, but it was all in vain The Dem
ocratic party was at the helm. Free
trade was in the saddle, and capital
went into hiding; the mills stopped,
the mines closed, and idleness, want,
suffering, tramps and riots spread over
the land. Commerce waned, the bal
ances of trade turned against us, rev.
enues declined, deficits occurred and
multiplied until they amounted to hun
dreds of millions"
True. every word of it; and 1t was
because the people believed and knew
it to be true-knew it from hard, bit
ter experience-that they voted in 1896
and 1900 to put an end to Democratic
free trade tariff tinkering.

Beers AS HOMESTEADERS.
Transvaa1 Republicans Go to Lawson,
q. T., to Find Peace.


Three hundred and fifty Beers, despair
ing Of retaining freedom in their native
land, treked into Lawson, 0. IT,, and
registered for homesteads in the new
country being opened for settlement.
They arrived at New Orleans three
weeks ago and declared their intention
Of becoming citizens. Those who are
unlucky in the drawing will buy of other
settlers, and a Transvaal in Oklahoma
will be the result.
Their head is Capt. Joubert, nephew
Of the famous fighting Pet. He speaks
English fuently. Relative to their inten-
lions he said: I'VE came to Alabama on
an early transport that had made It's
last trip to South Africa with mules
It's captain was under no further obliga-
ton to the British and we easily made
a deal with him. Only q few women
came with us. The rest will come as
soon as we locate. We believe our ma
tive country will be unable to wrest free
dom from England. If we succeed in Sc
curing good lands, thousands of others
who followed the fortunes of President
Kruger will also locate here. We have
received the kindest Of treatment, and
know we will love our new land"

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.
He Favors Only the Reciprocity Defined
by the Republican Platform of 1900.

He Favors Only the Reciprocity Defined
by the Republican Platform of 1900.
"Of one thing there is no doubt"
says the Omaha Bee, land that is that
President Mckinley is most earnestly
in favor of reciprocity" The Bee is
right The President believes in and
fayors the plan of reciprocity as defined
by the Republican platform Of 1900,
lin articles which we do not ourselves
produce" He does not favor anything
beyond that. He is distinctly and I'M
equivOcally opposed to that form of So
called reciprocity which diminishes
home production and displaces Ameri-
can labor and wages through the larger
admission of competitive foreign prod
ucts. He does not want the reciproc-
fly that takes from a single American
workingman his job. The President
has recently said so in unmlstakable
terms. The American Economist is
prepared to youch for the accuracy and
authority Of this statement Of Presi-
dent McKinley's attitude on the sub
iect Of reciprocity.
On his return from the Presidential
trip to the Pacific coast, Mr.. Charles
A. Moore, President of the American
Protective Tariff League, in an inter
view, said:
'"The President, l am certain, is just
as ardent a believer in the theory and
practice of protection to domestic in
dustries as he ever was. But do think
it safe to announce that the time has
come when the policy Of this admins
tration will favor more positively than
hitherto the negotiation of treaties Of
reciprocity, with the purpose of enlarg-
ing our foreign markets"

Denartment Stores.

In shopping in New York" a writer
in the Century gives a vivid description
of the magnitude of retail business.
Under the roof of the largest Of these
retail establishments there are gathered
every morning, before the arrival of a
single customer, three thousand three
hundred and eighty-nine men, women
and children, community in itself;
distributed at intervals throughout the
building from the engine-room, two
stories below the street, to the little
aeries of shops up under the skylights,
where miuiners and furriers are at
work This number does not include
the buyers, the drivers and the stable
men, nor any of those engaged in the
purchase and distribution of articles.
A special department has necessarily
been organized to meet the require
ments of shoppers by mail. There are
often as many as sixty young men and
women employed in it. From three to
four hundred letters are received daily,
sometimes as many as a thousand.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-07-27

Last Sunday ended the Governments
fiscal year, and though it will be a few
weeks before we have the exact figures
concerning commerce and finance,
enough is known to show that it will
prove to be Uncle Sans greatest year.
Our export trade of $1,000, 100000 Is
not only home record, but a worlds
record, and Uncle Sam is the greatest
salesman on earth.
But that $1,000, 100000 is not so
great, after all, when we consider that
Uncle Sans folks have traded among
themselves to the amount of over
$100,0O 100000, as shown by bank
clearings. Why, Johnny Bull and the
Car and Emperor William and the
frog-eaters just stand amazed at those
figures. And how they would like a
slice Of it, wouldn't they? They just
get a taste as it is, for Uncle Sam has
learned to make about everything he
needs, and he not only feeds himself
but half the rest of the world.
SO he is paying off half his debts at
home and abroad and piling up the
surplus for rainy day He has done
so well that on July 1 he stopped in
ternal taxation to the amount Of about
100000 a year. And all the time
John Bull is squeezing his subjects as
hard as he can, and yet he cannot be-
gin to meet expenses.
Not only has Uncle Sam had the
greatest wear since he has been in bust
ness, but all his great industrial fam
lily are breaking records, too. The
farmers never did so well, nor the
manufacturers. The railroads are as
busy as they can be hauling all kinds
of freight, while the millions of labor
ers of all classes are busy and well
paid, happy and prosperous. If any
one ever doubted that protection and
prosperity went together he has only to
study the figures of 1893, 1899, 1900 and
1901.-American Economist.
