THE WoRKINGMAN.

1t is doubtful If democracy's free
trade remedy would kill OF all the
trusts in the country, but there isn't
any question what reduction of the
tariff to free trade basis would do
to the workingman and his wages.
Have the workingmen who are listen
ing to democracy's siren voice thought
Of this phase of the matter?
The democratic party proposed to
strike down the trusts by inviting for
eign competition in American markets
It would admit the products of Eu-
ropes cheap labor duty free, and 1t
rightfully argues that the result would
force American trusts to make tre-
mendous reductions in the prices of
their products. But how can Ameri-
can goods be brought into unrestricted
competition with European goods
without bringing American labor into
direct competition with the cheap
labor of Europe? The one follows
the other as surely as night follows

for him regardless Of political opin-
ions. A young man in the prime Of
life devoted to his profession, and
bound to make his mark in the higher
walks of the law. He is personally
one of the jolliest and companionable
of men,-in short all right in any way
you view him, and every voter should
help make his majority good and
strong.
On the top rung we find the people
have chosen for auditor, w. T. Mar
tin. When it is understood why the
auditor heads the list it is also easily
understood why Mr.. Martin was the
unanimous choice of the convention.
In this department all accounts are
neatly, carefully and correctly kept,
and necessarily the head must be a
man well versed in bookkeeping, and
at the same time he must keep an eye
on every department in the county.
Mr.. Martin has fully demonstrated his
ability and is in every particular one
of the best men who could be chosen
for this Office. The knowledge that
Mahaska county will roll up from four
to five hundred majority for the whole
ticket assures us that Mr.. Martin will
go under the wire a sure winner.

-Adverusing enables a stt

Advertising enables a store to
make many sales. The store which
makes the largest number of sales in
day can certainly sell at smaller
profit on each sale, than the store
which makes few sales. The mer-
chant who is a progressive advertiser
can always get better terms from a
manufacturer than the merchant who
does not advertise. The manufacturer
is always anxious to sell goods to
progressive merchant because he
knows that that merchant, will let
the people know he has bargains for
them. Advertisements are an index
to a store.

"8Y THEIR WORKS SHALL YE
..t.. KNOW THEM"

In proceeding to follow up our
promise to climb the ladder we now
reach a step higher and find the peo
pies choice for supervisor, John NJ.
Price. We ask you if within the mem
ory of the oldest voter IN Mahaska
county there was ever a better choice
made. Possibly as good have preced-
ed him, but surely none better. John
Price is noted for his integrity, in
dustry and all around information,
which makes him one of the most ac-
ceptable asplrants for the Office of
supervisor in the county. There is no
question but that he will make an
acceptable official. He fully under
stands the needs of the people and
will exercise the most rigid economy
wherever the interests of the tax pay
ers are at stake so we should elect
him by large majority.
One step further we find another of
the peoples faVorites for recorder,
L. L. McCord. Larry McCord stands
for all that is good in official as well
as private life. AS patnstaking and
thorough business man he has proved
to be the right man in the right place.
In this Office he is the same genial,
accommodating man you find him in
society. Everything is looked after in
detail and it is a pleasure to do busi-
ness with him. When any business is
entrusted to his care you have the
Cd ficF ~
thing will be done in proper manner
and securely taken care of. His quail
fications are beyond dispute and his
selection was in the best interests of
every citizen of Mahaska county. OF
course he will be elected as he should
be.
In the next step we find our tried
true and deserving candidate for
clerk, Rufus K. Davis, who has proven
to be one Of the best and most
accurate clerks the people have ever
elected. Daily, weekly, monthly, year
in and year out you find Rufe the
same even tempered, polite, and ac-
commodating official, always ready to
do you a favor whether in Office hours
or otherwise While it is true that
Mahaska has at all times had efficient
county officials, particularly when sell
ected by the republican party, it is a
notable fact that Rufus X Davis is
accorded the banner in the clerks
office. No complaints are ever heard
against him and none, could truthfully
be made. His record is clean and can
not be assailed, therefore his election
is a foregone conclusion, but the ma
jority should be made large to empha-
size the mans true worth.
Another step up and we find the
efficient and popular candidate for
county attorney, James A.. Dewitt.
The past two years service of Mr..
Dewitt has proven him to be one Of
the most attentive and successful
prosecutors Nthe county has ever
had. His ability and thorough knowl-
edge of the law has been very valua-
BILE to the tax payers, as well as to
the whole community. His uniform
courtesy and obliging disposition has
made him friends who will stand UP

Letter to w. H. Herkey,
Oskaloosa. Iowa,

Dear Sir: As a painter you probab-
ly use lead and oil, and would natural
ly object to DeVoe Ready Paint. Let
us have few words on the subject.
Painters say a good lead and oil
job will last three years, and they say
house ought to be painted once in
three years. ..
We take them to mean that their
work is good for three years, no more
and no less, or not much more and not
much less.
Do you want your work to last long
er? Wha do you say to six years.
You'd have to have twice as much
work, or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor.
You call him in. Is iC better for him
to get your child out Of bed tomorrow,
or keep him sick for a month?
You prefer quick doctor. So does
everyone else in your town, and coun-
ty and state. We are all alike; we
all want our doctors quick. A doctor,
that gets his patients up quick, is the
doctor that gets the patients-gets
rich, too, IL he isn't run to death. =,
It's about the same with a painter,
isn't it? Suppose you paint DeYoe,
and your competitor objects to Devoe;
your work lasts six years and his
work three. You cost your customers
half; he costs double. Who'll get the
business; and who'll go Texas?
Devoe lasts six years-not exactly
we know of its lasting seyenteen-and
it never wears out in less than three
so far as we know. On windy, sandy,
seaside house, it lasts three years.
Lead and oil lasts one year there.
Devoe last two or three times as
long as lead and oil; and it's going to
paint your town. Do you want to be
in it? Yours truly,
W. Devoe & Co.

patch out of whole cloth and gave II
to its readers as bonafide message
from Oskaloosa
Men generally direct their
votes the same way they send
their money. Last Saturday was
pay day in the mines around here,
and on that day collection was
taken up among the miners to aid
the cause Of John P. Reese, demo-
cratic candidate for congress. Mr..
Reese has been a miner himself
and the general willingness with
which contributions were made to
his cause attested his great popu-
larity with his fellow workers.
"Au but few oficeholders and
men who are under strong person
al obligations to Mr.. Lacey gave
to the funu.
"Mr. Lacey has unlimited means,
and is said to be using money
without stint in the cities in the
district. The necessity that is the
greatest in Mr.. Reese's cause is
for money to get out the vote in
the cities and have it registered.
There is no registration in the
country districts, and it is for this
purpose named that the miners
Clipped in their mites. Outside
of the miners vote there is
great Independent vote which
viii contribute largely in helping
Mr.. Reese to victory"
Contrast the dispatch actually sent
from Oskaloosa and the one printed
by the American and draw your own
conclusions. And bear in mind also
that this trumped up dispatch is the
on which the Democratic
papers of the Sixth District are try
ing to build some sort of an attack
On Major Lacey. Was ever anything

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
fin5s 1t necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl OF water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front. sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
