A Word to Partisan De mocrats.

Republican prosperity is not vague
meaningless platitude. 1t is not some
thing that may be good for the other
fellow and not good for you. If you
would be willing to deny yourself Re
publican prosperity for the sake OF being
a hide-bound partisan Democrat, you
ought nevertheless to ask yourself wheth-
er you have a good moral right to vote
to deprive others of it.
Repu blican prosperity is what will con
duce to the happiness OF your home. In
Democratic times your wives and chill
dren and your neighbors suffered as well
as yourself. IL You are willing to try
for yourself another dose OF Democratic
hard times, your affection nevertheless
for the helpless ones at home, who want
the good things OF this 6fe If you don't,
ought to be sufficient to make you vote
for four more years of Republican pros
Dprity

farmer can do the labor Of seventy
Cinnamon. As these conditions change,
in obedience to economic laws, the Chi
nese farmer becomes our competitor.
The land value will regulate the price
of the product, and no competitor. the
world over, can enter the market against
our western prairie. We can place our
foodstulfs in the Oriental market at
prices which will prove less than the
cost of producing them in Asia, and
right here comes the question: With
this future before it, what are the pos
siblities of the arid West? An untold
treasure house, the products of which
Will. in one year, exceed in value, all the
gold coin since the world began.
Another great advantage for the farm
er is, that unlike the manufacturer who
must educate the Orient in the use of
MS products. there are no prejudices to
overcome in the case of foodstuffs. The
Orientals know their value, and the
market is already made and waiting. 1t
IS one that cannot be taken from US.
Our Personal Duty.
The twentieth century opens for the
United States with its industrial ma
chinery adjusted to the production Of
wealth on scale Of unprecedented mag
nltude. In land, in labor supplemented
by best inventive skill: in wealth-the
three great agents of production, this
country easily leads the world.
Inc reclamation of the arid West and
the extension Of our Oriental trade are
patriotic questions in which our ma
tlonal honor. pride and profit are at
stake. Whosoever commands the sea
commands the trade; whatsoever COM
mands the trade of the world commands
the riches Of the world, and consequent
~ the world itself.
Ihls country has too much at stake to
Jeopardize such vast interests and DOS
sloliltles. Every one knows what Roose-
Veit mas done for the West and where he
stands on the questions of Oriental trade.
w nat has Parker ever done for the
West? Does he know that such a conn
try exists?

The foregoing table is furnished through
the courtesy of Mason, Lewis X Co, bank
ers and bond dealers, of Chicago and Bos
ton.
Mr.. Parker is probably right in think
ing that If there was return to Demo
cratic policies municipalities would is
sue less bonds. They probably could
not, if they would. The reason is sim
pie. Democratic victory would again
create depression in the investment mar
kets, prices OF municipal bonds would
go to pieces, municipalities could not
issue such bonds except at exceptional
cost to taxpayers, and they would be fore
ed to the alternative either of not spend
ing money in furtherance of improve
ments commensurate with their growth.
or they would have to enormously in
crease taxes, and 50 let present taxpay-
ers pay the entire bill for benefits which
posterity would enjoy.

proved Under Republican Policies.
The same Republican policies winch
have strengthened the credit OF the I'M
ted States government and caused ITS
bonds to rise steadily in value have also
promoted the credit of States, municipal-
tiles, school districts, etc. winch can
now issue bonds to far greater advaht-
age than eight years ago, thus resulting
in great saving to taxpayers. OWING 10
the increase in the general prosperity,
savings have steadily accumulated ana
have become invested largely i'll bonds
issued by municipalities in furtherance
of public improvements.
Eight years ago, in Democratic times'
municipalities and States found 1t even
more difficult than the general govern
ment to sell bonds except at great sacrl-
flee, owing to the extreme depression IN
the investment markets. Public I'M
provements, therefore. had to wait in
definitely since the money for them could
not be obtained. except by excessive i'll
crease i'll taxation.
The change. however, within the last
eight years from bad to good, as regards
the credit of these local governments and
their ability to borrow money for needed
improvements. is an evil thing from the
Democratic standpoint.
In his speech to the Democratic edi-
tors at Rosemount on September 8. Al
ton B. Parker bewailed the "extrava-
gance in Federal, State and municipal
governments" and dolefully noted: THE
Indebtedness of the municipal govern
ments is steadily piling up. BOND is
SUES ARE INCREASINGLY FIRE.
QUENT, and the people have not the
satisfaction, in many instances of full
equivalent in improvements for the
money expended"
The appended table shows how in
seven typical cities of the United States,
about evenly distributed geographically,
municipal credits have risen during the
last eight years Of Republican prosperity,
and have made it possible for public i'm
provements to be accomplished with dim
lnishing burden to taxpayers. The table
compares the basis on which these bonds
were sold in 1895 and 1896 with the
basis on which they have been sold this
year. cor course the lower the basis
the greater the advantage to the NUM-
cipalities in placing new issues and the
greater the advantage to investors who
hold the original issues.) Here are the
figures.

AT A STANDSTILL.

make no attempt to get into the
courts until after the national con.
vention and late in the summer. The
supreme court has adjourned fol-

portunity to ask the court to as

teal dispute between Governor La
Toilette and Senator Spooner has
passed for the time being. Gilbert
E. Roe of New York, former law
partner of Gov. LaFollette, is at
work preparing his argument in the
governors behalf to be made before
the national committee on the
contest for the seats of delegates at
large. John M. Olin, attorney for
the administration faction, is
also working hard on the contest
being brought for the seats by
Senators Spooner and Quarles,
Congressman J. W.. Babcock and
Judge Emil Baensch. 1t is expected
that the Wisconsin contest will be
taken up earlier than others, out of
the alphabetical order, because of
the greater Importance of the con-
test. Both sides appear confident
of winning out before the national
committee.

According to official reports there
is a fearful destruction of crops in
all parts of the country from vari-
Gus blights and insect pests as well
as worms. We are now told that
the plant enemies and insects are

smut in Maryland, alfalfa rust in
Ohio, rice blast in South Carolina,
and in other parts of the land to-
matoes, cucumbers, asparagus,

work for the secrtary of agricul-

Owing to the reduction in fares
from the old world to the new to
the trifing sum of $40, immigra-

every day, play whist, sing patriotic

Let no Wisconsin Republican be

Let no Wisconsin Republican be
misled by the rancorous personal
detraction of the Republican candi-
dates for congress who have boldly
taken q stand against Gov. LaFol-
lette's attempt to steal the state con-
vention. They are just as good men
now as they were four years ago,
when one Of them-Mr. Babcock-
received voluntary testimonial
from LaFollette on the stump.
They are really better men now
from the standpoint of serviceabili-
ty to the public, for they have the
advantage of increased experience.
The Republican party will need
every vote it can muster in the
coming congress, and no genuine
Republican in Wisconsin will
permit his vote to be traded off by
a governor who has trafficked for
support in the Republican caucuses
from the Democrats.
