Free Trade.

Free trade would open our
markets to benefit our own coun-
try. 1t is hospitabie and seeks
peace and good will with all
nations. Reciprocity cares moth
ing for the consumer and hunts
foreign markets with club. Its
stock in trade is high tariff,
favoritism, discrimination and
retaliation. 1t threatens to slam
our doors in the face of foreign
countries which will not open
their doors to our products.
Reciprocity is based upon the
same false theories as is protec-
ton, and, like protection, is a
sham and humbug, and to most
people has been, and will ever
continue to be, a delusion and a
snare.
In practice, reciprocity is worse
than protection"

That sounds very nice but the
trouble with it is that it is a
theory that has never proven true
in the history of this country.
When we open our markets to
the world free, the foreign pro-
ducts rush in and close up oul
factories, throw our people oil
labor out of Employment, shuts of
the income upon which they sup
port their families decreases the
demand for our farm products
grain, meat and beef. 1t makes
but little difference under thos,
circumstances to the average
family whether goods are high o.
low. They have nothing will
which to buy at any price.

free trade theory under Cleveland

orient. 1t was at the demand of
the people that our armies and
navy were enforced and sent to
the relief of the Cuban's. But He
who is omnicient had also heard
and seen the ignorance
and degradation of the dusky
Filipino. Little did our people
realize that the great naval victor
of Dewey at Manila Bay on that
bright May day ment the liberia
ton of ten millions people, much
less did they realize that it was
but the opening of the door to the
education and CIVILIZATION of mill
lions in heather darkness. Did
Washington under divine prov
idence who gave us our liberty or
the immortal Lincoln who struck
the shake from 100000 slaves
do greater work. Does any,
body donbt that the hand of God
was with Washington or Lincoln.
Are not the proofs as great that
the God of battles was with
Mckinley in his war against
Spain? There is at the present
time a great industrial question
that confronts the world. Not
only is America interested in
this great question but the en-
tire civilized world. Mans ex-
tremity has always been Gods
opportunity. We do not know
that he already raised up a man
to solve this problem of capital
and labor but Judging the future
by the past it begins to look very
much that may. THEODORE Roose-
welt the present incumbent of the
White House is rapidly gaining
the admiration of the laboring
classes. He is a man of strong
convictions and force. He may
have no more idea of being able
to solving the labor question than
had Lincoln of settling the ques-
ton of slavery when he was first
inauguerated. Bnt his speeches
on his recent trip south shows
that his mind and heart is with
the laboring element yet not an
tagonistic to capital. Who
knows but his nomination to the
vice-presidency, which was
against his protests and unwill-
ing promotion to the presidency
was for specific purpose under
the Providence of God. His re-
nomination by the republicans is
practicle assured and that he
will be the choice of the labor
unions seems to fare gone con-
clusion. Is not this an indication
that the hand of God is with him
as much as it was with his illus
trious predecessors?

Here is typical case of mis-
representation made by the Dem
ocratic Congressional Commit
tees textbook, just published.
On page 1874 it is stated: "This
would leave the cost of the Phil
ippine war S696, 1888, 374 up to
June 80, 1908" The Secretary
of War made an official report to
the Senate June 19, 1902, in
which he said that "The amount
of money expended and the
amount so far as practicable to
state it, for which the govern
ment of the United States is
liable, remaining unpaid for
equipment, supplies and military
operations in the Philippine
Islands each year from May l,
1898 to the present time aggre-
gate $170, 372, $50. IL" There is
democratic fiction against offici-
al fact.

Providence Leading

Geo. Washington was divinely
chosen to secure the independ-
ence of the American colonists
and Abraham Lincoln was raised
up to proclaim the emancipation
proclamation act that liberated
four million slaves and William
Mckinley to bring order out of
chaos unite the north and south,
strike the yoke of tryrany from
the Spanish subjects of the West
India Isles and open the way for
the evangelization education and
christianization of the orient.
But Theodore Roosevelt appears
to be chosen for the express pur-
pose of establishing law
and order in our new possession
and setting up code of morals
proclaimed by the Son of God
among the heather. A
champion of the anti-slavery
cause made his appearance in
Abraham Lincoln who so ably
championed the cause of human
liberty. He was chosen by the re-
publican party in 1860 to admin
lister the affairs of the nation.
War followed which not only
resulted in the victory of the
union army but in the
emancipation of four millions
of slaves. There are but
few to-day but acknowledges
that Gods hand was in it and
that the immortal Lincoln was
his chosen leader. In less than half
century the country became invo
lived in a financial crises and at our
door were a people appealing to
us for relief from Spanish
tyrany. The hearts of the
people as of one man demanded
that William Mckinley be placed
at the head of the national
affairs, with special view ofrestor-
ing the national credit and reviv-
ing industrial and commercial
life. In the history of the ma
ton at no time had the people
suffered such great financial re-
verses and want and poverty so
wide spread. The remedy was
forth coming and on the day
following the election of the
great economist the news which
spread broad cast seem to electri-
fy the commercial world and by
the time of his Inauguration on
the 4th of the following March
new life was being manifest
and factories, workshops and
various industries had provided
for the unemployed. From that
day to this it has been one con-
tinued round of prosperity
for all classes, and especially the
producer. But while the people
had chosen the apostle of econo-
my to administer the
commercial and industrial
affairs of the nation,
it appears that God had
destined him or greater work in
the relief of humanity. Fol
centuries the tyrany of Spain had
oppressed her subjects in the
West Indies and the PHILIPPINE
Islands. The American people
heard theMacadonian cry of Cuba,
but distance had kept back the
lamentations of the people of the

Prosperity Will Last
tsew York Herald, August 3D.

NEW OTk AUGUST Sl'I
Present prosperity is but the
beginning of things, and IS destin-
ed to carry us forward to wealth
and power that we do not yet re-
alize. We have not measured
our possibilities. Our country
has just begun to grow"
This is not the enthusiasm of
unbalanced youth, but the sober
utterance of wise old age. 1t is
the estimate of Jay Cooke, for
sixty years man of affairs and
by measure of achievement the
greatest financier of modern
times. 1t is sublimated optim-
ism, but it is founded upon long
and active experience which
gives weight to the words.
With three score years of fin
anciering to look back upon, a
vivid memory to read the lessons
and keen mind to apply them,
a man may be said to have at
tanned worldly wisdom This is
the record of Jay Cooke. He has
seen the growth of the nation
through three generations,
through plenty and poverty,
peace and war, prosperity and
panic. To few men has been
given so comprehensive view
of financial history. No other,
perhaps has had so great a part
in events in events which tend
to broaden the view and sharpen
the understanding.
"What is the basis of the pre-
sent era of prosperity" was ask

Cause For Rejoicing

The Republicans have good cause for great rejoic
ing in this county The splendid attendance at the
various meetings held in this county this week have
been exceedingly large in most instances and the inter
est manifest has been great Enthusiasm reigned at
all the meetings and in several places halls big enough
to hold crowds could not be secured Strctcst atten-
ton was paid every speaker and heartie applause
was given Everywhere was there found disposition
to work hard for party success and everywhere was
their confidence in success Captain Dovcncr has been
received all over the district with remarkably great en-
thusiasm for an of year, but nowhere in the district
have the royal receptions given him been salts
factory or encouraging than in this county. He goes
from the county in happy frame Of mind and conf
dent Of an overwhelming victory for the Republican
ticket He is assured that Harrison county will roll
up a larger Republican majority than in all the coun-
tvs history and that every man on the ticket will be
elected.
One Of the splendid features of the campaign is
the fact that it has brought to the front and made pub
lie the true situation in reference to the disposition and
intention of the people 1t has demonstrated conclu-
svey that the people of Harrison county hold dear the
principles of the Republican party and will to per-
peuate those principles. 1t shows beyond successful
contradiction that the people Of this county approve
the honest and busness-ike manner in which the af-
fairs Of the county and intend 70 continue the
PARTY in power in the county. 1t is eyeopener to
the little coterie Of Democratic schemer and convinces
them Of the utter hopeessness Of their fight

He was arrested that morning by Con-
stable Mitchell and brought into
court. He gave bond Of $500 for his

charm valued at $40. and bank book
worth $50. Before the hour for trial
it developed that Dodd was drunk the
night he alleged the watch was stolen
