Export of Manufactured.

Figures recently issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ington show that during the month of
July last our exports of manufactures
amounted to $4O,OOO.OOO, against $751;
100000 OF agricultural products. During
June the exports OF manufactures were
nearly S42, 100000. against S37. 5000 600
of agricultural products. This is the first
time in the history of the country that
the exports OF manufactures have ex-
ceeded those Of the farm. This does not
mean that the exports Of farm products
are falling off, but that those of manu-
features have greatly increased. This is
due to a protective tariff which, while it
benefits American manufactures also in
creases the home demand for American
farm products.

When the veterans Of the Civil War
Were with Gen. Grant before Richmond
or with Sherman marching to the sea. a
Democratic national convention declared
the war a failure and demanded a dis
honorable peace. When the business

money n the gold standard the Demo-
cfalc party, as an organization, was

Party Records.

In every national campaign for forty
years past the Republican party has
stood upon it's record OF things done, OF
laws enacted, Of policies esta blished un-
der which the country has progressed
and p%rospered. The record Of the Dem
ocratic party made in two administra-
tions was so full OF disaster, OF CONNER
cial shipwreck, Of industrial paralysis
and business failures that it's chief bust
ness in recent years has been to get ~
far away from it's record as possible.

Without questioning the sincerity Of
Judge Parker's expressions on the
money question he was, by his own state
more devoted to his party, in
1896, than he was to his sincere con-
victions Of right. That being the case,
We have a right to assume that he might,
at an extreme moment, again surrender
his principles for the sake Of his party.

candidate for the highest position 10 the

A Sign Of Prosperity.

There is no better criterion Of general
prosperity than the postal business.
When times are good the postal revenue
increases, and vice versa. The report Of
the Postmaster General shows that for
the year ending July l, 1895, the receipts
from postal revenue were 900.
For the year ending July 1, 1902. they
were 119,95S,229 an increase of 81 per
cent during seven years OF continuous
Republican rule. During the year ending
July l, 1895, the receipts from the money
order business were $S12. OBS; for the
year ending July l. 1902, they were ST..
8S9,817, an increase OF 1873 per cent dur.
ing seven years Of Republican prosperity.
The Postmaster General in his annual
report for 1902 said: 1.-The increase in
the postal revenues attests the wonder
ful prosperity Of the people and the ac-
dvity Of business interests throughout

Personal Abuse Will Not Win.

The Democratic party has been so
long in the opposition and it's every day
work has so long been criticism, that it
forgets that no battle was ever won
by swearing at the enemy. Abuse Of

He is a very popular man. Personal

merchants, laborers OF the West, do not
vote against your own interests. that of
your family; and yours and their future.
Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. They

already begun. Under its operation there
will be a tendency to balance interests
and thus help in a powerful way to keep
the government steady. 1t will settle the

produce more than thirty times as much

Work for Republican Party.
When we come to contemplate the
whole field of natural western re-
sources, available for food, for industry
and for commerce, when we a4tempt to
grasp in one act of thought the length
and breadth and depth Of the riches with
which Providence has loaded this sec
ton; when we try to realize how every
possible want, every material aspiration
of man can be bountifully provided for;
when we consider how measureless are
the values which will spring into being
at the touch of modern industry. and
how these values, when once created,
are solid and real and become incorpo-
rated iato the enduring structure Of hui
man society, we may begin to es-
innate properly the measure OF re-
sponsibility which rests upon this ma
ton and its chosen rulers. This is not
merely to preserve unframed the price
less boom Of civil liberty which leaves
the individual citizen free to do his share
in work of development, but to adopt
u measures as will prevent the waste
of natural resources, clear the way OF
progress and promote the triumph Of civ
ilization. The record Of the Republican
party shows it to be a party of, progress.
