Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1902-05-15

comforts OF life thus bringing to the
farmer and producer sufficient money
returns for his labor so that he may
provide himself and family not only
with the necessities but with the com
forts of life, placing him also in a posi-
ton where he is no longer compelled to
borrow money at a high rate of interest
for the purpose of providing for himself
and family and to pay his running obi
cations; a condition of general prosper
ity the like of which has never been
surpassed and seldom equalled in any
country or at any time.
with satisfaction we point to the
fact that all the pledges made by the
republican party during the two last
presidential campaigns have been full
filled. The money question has been
settled even to the satisfaction Of the
opposition. Cuba has been given her
independence. The war in the Philip
pine islands is virtually closed, only
occasional incursions by guerilla bands
remain to be checked. A system of
wise, wholesome and humane laws has
been promulgated in these islands, and
the government of the islands been
turned over to the natives so far as their
capabilities permit.
Proceedings for the suppression of
trusts and monopolies are being vigor-
ously prosecuted. Notwithstanding the
fact that the laws under which trusts
and m~onopolies are now being prose-
cuted, stood upon the statute books dur
ing the democratic administration, it
has remained for a republican admins
tration to undertake an enforcement of
them. We only regret that these laws
are not broader and more effective, and
particularly call the attention Of the
public generally to the fact that when
the proposition was before congress to
place within the hands of congress and
the executive of the nation greater
power to deal with these questions, the
proposition was defeated in congress by
a solid democratic vote.
1--WE assert that the history of the
republican party, is a history of con-
tinued progression. We assert that
whenever a demand has been made upon
it by the people, it has by wise conserv-
ative legislation at the proper time
granted the demand, and once having
granted a demand by enacting a statute
it has, when occasion required it,
through its officers elected by it,
enforced such laws. The republican
party has been in the past, now is, and
we confidently believe will in the future
be the party 'of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people,"
I'm view of these things, we conf
IDENTIFY assert hat the republican party
is the only party which has shown itself
worthy of the confidence of the Ameri-
can people.
1--WE congratulate the people of this
state IN the wise, patriotic and econom-
ical administration which it has enjoyed

lily endorse the candidacy of Hon.

pie of this state upon the character and

ton, and we do heartily endorse the
