RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for In
augurating the Service.


When Democrats assert that their
party is the father" of rural free de-
livery, they willfully misstate the facts.
1t is charity to call their assertion "A
plain faIsehood, for it is q deliberate
lie, uttered with the intention to de-
Ceive many persons. Rural free deliv-
cry had its origin under the Harrison
administration. and Postmaster Gen.
eral Wanamaker was its father" He
proposed and established the first ex-
perimental route. When the Demo
Gratis came into power, under President
Cleveland. they did everything posi-
BILE to kill rural free delivery; in
fact they absolutely refused to cXpeud
any of the $4,000 congressional appro-
priation for its nourishment, and both
POStmaSters General BiSscll and vii.
son, in their annual reports. did their
utmost 10 diSCrcdit it. President Glove
land also threw cold water on it i'm n
hostile message to congress. When Nc.
klnley became president. rural free de-
livery was pushed to the front as a Re.
publican policy This policy has been
continued under President Roosevelt.
until now there are about 2T.5OO routes
IN operation. No farmer need he de
ccived by Democracy'S false claims,
for the record shows that to Republic
ans alone belong the credit of inau.

communities.

Democratic Tariff Revisien.

How does the Democratic party pro,

say: we assent to the principle of
protection and ask the people of the
United States to commit to our hands
the revision of the tariff in conformity
with that principle?" Far from it. II
avOws its unrelenting hostility to the
principle of protection and asks the
people to put in its hands the revision
of the tariff in order that it may re
wise protection out of it and repeat
the experiment of Grover Cleveland's
second administration. According to
Mr.. Gompers, president of the Ameri,
can Federation Of Labor, that admin

Why Does Parker Obiectg

The Democratic presidential candi-
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods
OF diplomacy; that is, he has departed
from the old style, believes in a
straightforward expression of exact
~ what the attitude of this nation is,
and does not hesitate to say that this
nation is quite prepared to take care of
itself
Well, what would you have? Are
we not a great nation, practically COW
ering with our Canadian brothers, a
great continent and quite prepared,
not merely to suggest but to assist in
the affairs Of the world? And is it
not duty?
Why does ex-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hills ex-political manager,
object to this?
