/. WIN he Il Republican.

w ~ 49, - @~~E
The Eskridge Star, for years . lead
ing Populist paper, has come out for
Republication and the editors rea'
sons are SO cogent and sound as to
merit careful reading. He especially
notes these things that our Demo-
cratic and Populist readers should
study:
MANY are living et'who well re-
member the hard times Of '93 TO ~
under Cleveland's administration.
Sheriff's sales, evictions and loss OF
homes were OF common occurrence.
While some OF the then prevailing
conditions might rightly be attributed
to adverse climatic conditions which
made crop yields of all kinds poor,
the general stringency OF money, the
lack OF confidence noticeable In every
branch Of industry and the low prices
prevailing on all commodities cannot
in their entirety be so asclibed. Pro-
found thinkers and writer's, then as
we'll as since, impute to the reduction
CT the tariff through the Wilson and
German bill, the widespread financial
depression OF that time and 1t is true
that with the substitution Of the
Dingley bill. protective tariff meas
ure, for it, times at once began to
grow better and during the past eight
years, farmer, artisan, manufacturer,
laborer and every one has enjoyed
greater and more satisfactory returns
from their efforts.
Something has loosed the purse
strings Of boarded wealth and all
branches Of industry received an i'm
petus which has continued to the
present time.
"The policies Of the present adj
ministration with respect to the an
thracite Goa strike. Venezuelan diff
culties and Panama negotiations and
have been such as to rec

is the representative head in highly
favorable light to the thinking patri'
otto American who sees in him an
original thinker, righteous civilian,
o high-minded, brave, forceful execu-

many things to further the full con-
OF which, would add honor
to any one--economy in public ser
vice, civil service measures, Inter-
national arbitration, correction Of
election frauds and exclusion Of Chi

the national and such parts Of the
state ticket as has not been arranged
Tor malieasance In office. Believing
hat the Republican party, drawing
,ur conclusions for the future from
he past, is the most progressive,
most resourceful and the safest, we
ast our fortunes with the party Of
'ur young manhood for the reasons
heretofore given and others good and
efficient to us, among which are:
he Republican firing line is always
within sight and hearing; it takes a
osition and vigorously fights to
iaintain IL; It's utterance means
omething, and its standard bearer is
man full Of Americanism, fhll Of
otential energy, perhaps little too
trenuous, but as we believe intensely
onest and intensely earnest. Some

ground is so dry and hard that it
spoils the ploughs and they had

for rain to come and help them out of

up about two inches through the
