A Mutual Endorsement.

The republican platform OF Iowa
endorses trust methods, and without
doubt the trusts, every one, will
heartily endorse the platform, which
says: 1--WE believe it wise to seek
markets abroad by sacrificing some
part Of the markets at home, and
equally unwise to legislate in manner
to provoke American industries to
making war upon each other"
This resolution endorses the differ
ence Of ten dollars ton on railroad
irons for this country and for that
sent to foreign markets, thereby
increasing the cost of railroad con-
struction, and the cost of railroad
transportation to the farmer and the
producer.
Mr.. Farmer, do you approve that
doctrine? Do you approve the trust
method of preventing American
INDUSTRIES competing in the home
markets, by circumventing their ruin
and Incorporating them as component
members Of the trust? This is what
the closing part of the paragraph
means, and is approved by every
predatory trust OF which $40 were
established since the Roosevelt admin.
istration began.
Do you approve the coal trust By
which small operators are barred
from the markets by combination OF
the railroads and the coal trust?
Appropriate legislation supported
by the supreme court decision in the
Merger case would enable the small
operators to make war upon thil
unholy predatory trust. Are you II
favor .of that? The trusts are not
neither is the republican platform Of
Iowa.

Growing Government EXPENSES.

Lest anyone should be deceived into
believing that the government is be-
ing run at small expense, it need only
be stated that the expenditures for
three-quarters OF year now are far
in excess of those for the entire twelve
months of the fiscal year 1897. More
was spent in nine months of the cur
rent fiscal year for the war Edepart.
ment than was spent in the whole
year 1897 for both the war and navy
depal tments combined. In nine
months of the current year the expen.
ditures for the navy nave been almost
$4,000, 900 more than double the total
naval expenditures for the whole fisc
al year that closed on June 30, 1897
Such facts tell their story of economy
or extravagence.-Bo Herald.

Taxes to Be Higher Than Ever.

The appropriations made by the
legislature which has just closed will
not require an additional tax levy,
The state tax levy will remain at
three mills. However, the assess
ment has been increased enormously
since 1900, SO that as matter Of fact
state taxes now are higher than ever
before in their history, and will re.
main high. The ways and means
committee of the legislature called
upon the executive council to raise
81, 900, 900 In cash for the years Of 1885,
and 1905. This will be required FOL
running expenses of the state and t.
satisfy the appropriations made b,

Mighty Truths.

A man who brings up his boys to be
honorable men does more for society
than he who secures a law and order
plank on the platform. And the WON.
an who rears her girls to maidenly
modesty, advances the cause of moral.
ity far more than she who leads a
woman's club pell nell against some
notorious political office or offender.
1t is an undeniable symptom of our
time that the duty of home training
is being neglected for the more spec.
tacular function of social and semi
political life.-Faribault Journal.

Chairman Collisions Speech.

The following are some of the most
marked utterances of Mr.. Cullison,
temporary chairman of the democrat
IL state convention.
The trusts are the brains of the re-
publican party and lead 1t whitherso-
ever they will.
Republicans in congress gladly sur
render to the trusts and call their
surrender craftsmanship.
Slavery in its greatest days was new
er so securely intrenched in political
power in this country as are the trusts
Of the present day.
Already the attorney general has
sent up the white flag and given all
to understand that he has no hopes of
Sitting the trusts.
Not every man in the republican
party is follower of the trusts. The
republican party in Iowa, led by Gov
ernor Cummins for two years, adopt
ed q platform declaring against trusts.
By reason of his position as governor,
he will be permitted to go to the nat
ional convention. But he will be hand
cuffed and shackled and safely guard
ed by Allison, Dolliver and Blythe, lest
he raise his voice against his master.
Destruction of competition breeds
M nopoly creates classes, makes some
enormously rich and many miserably
poor. Protection destroys competit
ion.
Our honored governor tells US thai
only dead men stand pat II that II
true what great valley Of dry bone!
the republican party must have be
come.
When our senior senator first enter
ed congress and raised his voice agains
the high rates, he was at once black
listed; no further promotion was al
lowed him, and from that day to thi
his thrift has only followed his fawn
ings.
Secretary Blaine became discredl
ted republican statesman from tn
moment he proposed freer trade wit
the South American republics.
Tariff rates fixed by the early advo
Gates of the system were fixed so as t
cover the differences of labor In Am
erica and Europe. Now they are al
ranged to satisfy insatiate greed.
Itwas an ill-omened day for US an
our country when the national COZ
gress began to levey dutis on import
for the benefit of a special class.
The constitution an d its powers ar
never referred to by our opponents II
political convention. They regar
that document as piece Of ancien
history, composed and written by mel
OF little comprehension.

Divorces in the district court Of Polk

great deal more of regularity than
marriage licenses. The licenses granted
in a month usually number in the
hundreds, but for the present term of
court the number of divorce cases on
the docket have far exceeded the IL
eenses, and the license book shows
more blank places than the spaces on
the court docket devoted to the filing

ST Catherine was noble virgin of Alexandria
Before her baptism, it is said, she saw in vision
the Blessed Virgin ask her Son to receive her
among his servants, but the Divine Infant turned
away. After baptism Catherine saw the same. vision
when Jesus Christ received her with great affec
ton and espoused her before the court of heaven
When the impious Maximn II came to Alexandria
fascinated by the wisdom, beauty and wealth of the
saint, he in vain urged his suit. At last in his
rage and disappointment, he ordered her TO be
stripped and scourged She fed to the Arabian
mountains, where the soldiers overlook her and aft

A KIND VOICE.

If one would have kind voice must start
in youth to cultivate ii, and be the watch all
times while at work and while at play. The kind
voice must speak the thought OF the kind heart.
It is in play that sharp voice is most easily
acquired BOYS and girls say words in quick,
sharp tone, almost like the snap of whip. If one
of them is vexed the voice sounds if it made
up of a snarl. a whine and bark. 1t speaks worse
than the heart feels The Ill will is louder in the
1ouo than IN the words.
In mirth one may carelessly allow ones voice
to grow shrill and unpleasant. Some people have
a sharp home voice and keep company voice for
use elsewhere. 1t is a safe rule to use ones best
voice at home.

ROAD TO eRUMBLETowN

IT'S quite strange and easy road

You come TO Sulky stile.
Where travellers often like to rest
In silence for a while
And then. cross over Pouting bridge.
Where Don't Care brook flows down,
And just little way beyond
You come to GrumbletoWn.
From what learn, this Grumbletown
is not pleasant place:
one never hears a cheerful word,
Or sees a SIN ling face.
The children there are badly spoiled
And sure 10 fret and tease,
And all the gTown-up people, too.
Seem cross and hard to please.
The weather rarely is just right
In this peculiar spot
It's either raining all the time q
Or else too cold, or hot.
The books are stupid as can be;
The games are dull and old;
There's nothing new and nothing Il &c
In Grumbletown, I'm told.
And so I've taken pains, my dears,
The easiest road TO show,
That you may all be very sure

HEAVEN AN DEARTH.

There shadows where there is no sun:
There is no beauty where there is no shade
And all things in two lines of glory run
Darkness and light ebon gold inlaid
God comes among us through the shroud Of air;
And his dim track is like the svery wake
Left bysyour pinnace the mountain lake,
Fading and rehppearing here and there.
The lamps and wells through heaven and earth
that move
Go in and out, jealous of their light
Like guiding stars upon misty night
Death is the shade of coming life: and Love
Yearns for her dear ones in the holy tomb,
Because bright things are better seen in gloom
