 Working Prosperity.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 It is pleasure to have you back in Mian Sds, anama: II was a pleasure to know trayels grss in the West l write 1t with a a pleasure to know that you realized we nave country. Of course. don't know but 1t appears to me as one of the draw people appreciate the fact of a country In their love for section or a State or a peat. It's pity we can't all travel. l don't know how 1t Is, but imagine the fellow who has luxuriated in the belief that his township was big enough to ab- sord all his patriotic devotion feels like twhen he's been where you've been) pull his hatband, so that he can have the ap- pearance of some breadth of mind. Th9 narrow man of a section must appear to q disadvantage among the broader men or country. It will be good idea for you to get our Congressman to take some such outing as you've had. Some mem- Ders or the State government might travel to advantage. A man broadened in any manner, by travel or any natural devei- opment of the mind. will hardly seek to belittle tho courts of his country.
 ance" when .interviewed." I noticed how you .'blowed" about our four great in- dustries In the State and you laid 1t on pretty thick" about our prosperity. pres
 
 you stretched your blanket about the matter as the manner of some is." Just wanted to ask few pertinent ques- dentiai election pretty soon. and, I i'm anime, 1t Is to be campaign of educa- ton" l think you were very positive that any Democratic candidate will carry Aiaoama. This assertion, it seems to me. Eas not very complimentary to your fell DIV citizens. Away off from home, a man should be careful to make no remark home people. Perhaps you did not mean to islander us, but. like the gal at the show, you've laid yourself '1iable' to the charge.
 What mean and what you understand is this, that the most of the industries you mentioned in your interview are pros- porous through the protective policies of (and 1t ,is) then the Democratic idea to set the hands of Prosperity back appears little out of line with common sense. charge Providence with agrlcultural pros- perity. Well, they have to lay these sins or prosperity on somebody, and it does seem a little charitable to divide them Fortunately, they are able to bear 1t. These campaigns of education are too bewildering for the common man. A with Incidental protection that the he or. 2o dinary .. man can't tell "tother from What we want to learn, and a well-in- formed Democrat like you can teach us, Is whether we thu ivo moro when condi- tions are favorable (as when we have Protective Tarif) or less when the tin kering with the tariff begins (as when Democratic Boanerges sound the tocsin of too much prosperity')? That is, for once. there should be less theorizing. The suggestion is made in modesty, but, may be so perhaps, comparison of conditions under Republican and Democratic admin istrations will be the thing to fix the nat ter in the minds of the people. They tell me that North, East and West the "full dinner pair was the most clinching argu- man on the tariff question. It appears that the working man, in those sections, though fool" was inclined to heed the stomach argument and carried his lesson. to the polls. You intimate. in that interview. that southerners pay no at tention to the stomach and back argu- ment You ought to be ashamed of your self.
 It looks like we ought to have sense to let we'll enough alone and learn to stand in with, the Republicans and them Tor our prosperity.
 But as we are in for another campaign of education on the tariff. let us have a few comparisons of employment. wages, prices, etc, under Cleveland, who has his hands on the nigger's head and un- der Roosevelt. who "eats with the nig- ger" The quotations in the last sentence are from that excellent Democrat who once let loose the idea that the tariff cuts very little figure when there is plenty of money. You might compare the per cap. ita circulation under the same adminfs- traticns. If my memory serves me alright, Cleveland was not favorable to an en- larged currency. feel sure you can make plain the seeming Inconsistent theo- " and practice of the Republican sys- tenn of diversity that renders the coun- try so prosperous J.
