Here you have it. Don't curse the
trusts and then the minute you get ten
dollars ahead, send an order to Mont
gomery Ward & Co., Or Sears, Roebuck
& Co., and others, to help support the
largest trusts in existence" says the
Kingston Spy. what if you do get
your goods bit cheaper, that is what
the trusts do; they crush out competition;
and every dollar sent to mail-order
houses is just that much toward build
ing up trusts. These firms have at their
head shrewd business men, who by iu-
dicious advertising, have built up a
trust that bids fair to wreck a majority
of the business firms in many small
towns; so, if you desire this, send your
cash. and get credit at your home mer-
chants and denounce the trusts. Let
actions speak for you and preach what
you practice"

for city offices to be voted for at the
coming election should be universally at
tended by the voters and tax payers of
the city, and representative men only
should be chosen to fill the Offices. The
republican caucus will be held next
Tuesday evening at which time candi-
date will be nominated for mayor and
an alderman and supervisor from each
ward. Every republican voter in the
city should be present, and then when
the choice is made it will be by the ma
jority of the voters in that party. The
growth and prosperity of the city de-
Ponds to some extent upon the way

this reason men of good sound Judgment
and business qualifications should be
selected for each and every office. The
republican caucus will be held in the
city hall and will be called to order at
7:30 sharp. Be prompt in attendance.
