MISS DEMOCRACY
AND THE JUDGE.

Miss Democracy on summers day
Was raking the straws Of years away;
Her hat, if the vintage Of '92,
Was torn and her hair showed through
and through.
She sang, as she raked, mournful song
And watched the road the Judge came
along.
She looked and sighed and she said, "Ah,
me!
But that 1 the Judges wife might be!
He'd array me in all garbs superfne
And feed me on dainties-we'd talk Of
winew
The Judge looked back as he climbed the
And saw Miss Democracy standing
still
81 fear thee, mine ancient DAME" quoth
he;
81 fear thee, yet l must look at thee!
/ fear thy sinewy, ribbed hand,
For thou art brown as the ribbed sea
sand
] fear thy glittering, soulless eye,
Thine eager clutch and thy cruel cry"
But she wigwagged him from her dusty
hill,
And he felt that the gods must have
their will;
So he wigwagged back, with his trusted
whip,
And rode away with a trembling lip.
And the days went by as days will go,
And the Judge was running-but mighty
sIowl
And the weeks went by, as weeks will
fly,
And a tear welled up in Miss DIS right
eye.
Alas for Miss D. and alas for the Judge,
The autumn ended for them in smudge,
And all was lost for the maid and the
man,
For the Judge was only an "also ran"
Miss D. returned to her endless task,
The Judge 3umed his weak, solemn
mask;
And the world breathed freely once
again,
Muttering only: at might have been"
1t might have been that her sinewy hand
Once more had clutched on trembling
land;
1t might have been that the weakling
group
Could even have made the old Eagle
stOOp;
1t might have been that the starved and
poor
Again were begging from door to door!
And the Judge went back to his courts
of law,
And Miss d. went on with her raking
straw:
And the world breathed freely once again
And smiled as it thought: at could not

Paradoxica1 Mr.. Roosevelt.

washington Times

washington hines
Up to the present time President
Roosevelt has been described after the
following fashion by the opposition:
1. Mr.. Roosevelt is too independent
of advice to be a safe man.
2. Mr.. Roosevelt has deferred to the
advice of the party leaders too COM
pletely to be an honest man.
3. Mr.. Roosevelt controlled the con-
vention so completely that it was tame
and dull.
4. Mr.. Roosevelt caused the conven-
ton to make a noisy and undigniied
racket
5. Mr. Roosevelt has the party ma
chine under his thumb.
6. Mr.. Roosevelt's popularity with the
people alone can win the election fol
him.
Z. Mr. Roosevelt personally is the
party.
s. Mr.. Roosevelt has repudiated al
his former principles and compromised
with the party.
8. The party leaders are growing be
cause Mr.. Roosevelt will make no com
promise with them.
Now it is evident that if half the
things are so the other half cannot be
since no man can possess two diametri
cally opposite sets of dominating quail
| ties.

REPUBLICAN POLICY.
How 1t Benefits Laborer, Merchant,
Manufacturer and Farmer.

How 1t Benefits Laborer, Merchant,
Manufacturer and Farmer.
There are some things that no political
party nor any government can do. They
cannot make crops grow nor establish
factories for the employment of work
men. But the Republican party has
done the next best thing by furnishing a
home market for the farmers crops and
by encouraging capital to engage in man
ufacturing, whereby great numbers Of
persons are given employment.
AS people we are dependent one on
the other. Whatever benefits the laborer
and the merchant benefits the farmer,
and whatever contributes to the pros
perity of the farmer benefits all other
classes The surplus of the artisan sup
plies a market for the farmer, and the
farmers profits make employment for the
I mechanic. If there were no consumers
the produce would rot on the farm, and
without the agricultural class the pro-
ducts of skilled labor would accumulate
in the warehouse. Thus all classes are
interdependent.
The protective tariff, primarily intend
ed to encourage manufactures, has prov
Ell of untold benefit to the workman by
furnishing him employment, and at the
same time has supplied consumers for
the products of the farm and increased
the price. With a low tariff all manu-
featuring industries have languished, and
the farmer has shared in the general de-
preston With a high tariff capital in
vests, manufactures flourish, la Dor is
employed, good wages are paid and put
into circulation, the farmer finds a ready
market for his products, and everybody
shares in the general prosperity.
Statistics show that the value Of farm
products in the United States was ST.
100000 more in 1899 than in any year
of Democratic rule. Live stock increas-
ed in value S70O,00O,000 and crops $780,
100000. Agricultural real estate, that is,
farm lands and buildings, were worth
81 ,220, 100000 more in 1899 than they
were in 1889. Such facts as these speak
volumes in favor of Republican policies
and Republican rule.

A WORD TO RAILROAD MEN.
Republican Policies Brought Employ
ment and Good Wages.

Republican Policies Brought Employ
ment and Good Wages.
On Oct. 20, 1898, in the second year OF
his administration, President Mckinley
delivered an address to the allied organ.
izations of railroad employees in Chicago,
in which he said
What you want what we all want, is
business prosperity. When we have that
you have something to DO. When we have
it not, then you are idle There are Few
'empties' now on the side tracks, so there
are few railroad men unemployed The
more you use the freight car the oftener
you see the pay car
The year preceding the election of Mr..
Mckinley was a period of the hardest
times ever experienced in this country.
Never was there a time when the pe0-
pie of the United States were suffering
under greater financial, commercial and
industrial distress than during the period
named. This condition was the result
of a Democratic administration and
Democratic policies.
The railroad business suffered with
every other. Many roads went into the
hands Of receivers. The transportation
business fell off as never before. The
side tracks were filled with empty cars
and the roads competed for the little
business there was at ruinous rates. More
railroad men were out of employment
than ever before.
The election of Mckinley and the pas
sage of the Dingley tariff law was fol-
lowed by q wonderful revival of pros
perity in which the railroads shared. In
October, 1898, when President McKin-
ley delivered the speech in Chicago from
which the above quotation is made rail
road employees were more fully employed
and better paid than ever before. The
railroads were unable to carry the freight
that was offering and were earning more
money than ever before. This is not an
unsupported statement. Here is what
Dun's Review of Dec. 81, 1893, said:
Gross earnings of all railroads in the
United States reporting for the year to date
are 81, 100 030, $685. or Z ITO per cent over
last year. Roads reporting include all the
large systems for the greater part or the
wear and embrace total of 1872. lob miles,
more than four-fifths of the mileage of the
1892 and then rates were on a much higher
scale than this year, and the same volume
of earnings represented a relatively smaller
volume of tonnage Earnings this year are
nearly 3 per cent over 1892
This prosperity, the result of Republic
can policies and a Republican admins
tration. continued year after year There
was not a railroad in the United States
that did not experience the benefits Of
it. What railroad man would bring
back the times that preceded McKin-
ley's election?

HILLS UNTRUTHFUL CHARGE
Fabrication with Which He Opened
the New York Campaign.

Fabrication with Which He Opened
the New York Campaign.
To line up to his own record and that
of his party associates, David Bennett
Hill opened the Democratic campaign at
the Agricultural Fair at Deposit, New
York, with a plain, common, or garden
falsehoOd of the ''pusley" variety. This
fabrication is to the effect that Theo-
dore Roosevelt declared when he took
the oath, after President McKinley's
assassination, that he would not look
for the Presidential nomination from his
party.
This story is not true. At the time
when President Roosevelt was taking
upon his shoulders the heavy duties laid
upon him by McI<inley's tragic death, he
was thinking only of the immediate re-
sponsibilities of the moment, AID, as all
observed who saw him, he was talking
not at ALL The crafty old schemer of
WOlfert's ROost, looking, in vain, for
some weak spot in the Presidents career,
has had to fall back upon a bald untruth
for his first shot at the candidate whose
character for straightforward probity
all men admire.
And if the story were true, what of it
Nothing that has been said or done
marks so clearly the weakness of the
Democratic assault upon Roosevelt as
this puerile charge of Hill. 1t would
be too trivial for comment except for
the poverty of material it indicates. A
popgun is not dangerous weapon eX-
cept to the man who uses it, and thus
reveals how ridiculously inadequate are
his arms of defense and offense.
Hills speech, after he had fired his
popgun at Roosevelt, was shuffiing and
hating enough, touching the tariff and
gold standard issues to form a fit con-
tinuance of his opening shot. When
he charged upon the Republican party
tendency toward socialism he reached the
climax of absurdity. With a few maun-
behring's over the questions already set
tied by the Republican party, and a fran
tic claiming of credit for such Democrats
as have worked with the Republicans in
default of ability to do anything in their
own party, the Wolfert's Roost misan-
thrope brought his speech to a close.
What the farmers and townspeople of
New York who listened to Hills speech
thought, and said, can be imagined. How
they will vote will be shown early next
November. If anything can weaken the
cause of the Democrats it is such
speeches as the one with which Hill has
opened the campaign.

tories and throwing hundreds Of thou
sands of men out of work.
Now the Democrats are trying to play
the old game. They want the Presidency
to begin with. If they get it, there will
be an inharmonious administration with
divided responsibility. Then the Demo
cats will plead for full control, and if
they get it there will be another dis
astrous interference with the policies I'M
der which the country has prospered,
and another industrial panic. We can
judge of the future only by the past,
and the past shows that it is unsafe to
trust the Democratic party.
The American people have good
memories. They gave the Democracy
full swing, made an experiment, and
paid an awful price. They are not go
ing to do it again.

The Commercial Travellers League of

Vice President Mathewson, who was

THE BROAD VIEW.
Roosevelt Rises Above Racial and
Religious Prejudices.

Religious RreJudIceS.
Our candidate for President takes the
great, big and broader view. He arises
above all prejudices of race and religion.
Not long ago, to use a colloquial express
sion, he turned down" a Catholic pres
entation and a Protestant presentation
of offers of assistance from a religious
or to speak more properly, a sectarian
point of view. He said, in substance,
''We all have right to our religion, and
as far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, no religious prejudice or leaning
must effect our conduct in this cam
paign. This is the absolute attitude of
the party which L represent"
In recent bar examination in Illinois
there passed three Irishmen, two Ameri
cans and about twenty-five BOhemians
and Poles. There were thus admitted to
the bar a number of educated gentlemen
of the races, the immigration of which
we watch cautiously, and there is little
doubt that, in the future these lawyers
will do justice to themselves, and to. all
of us, as American citizens.
This instance is enlightening. It illus
trates the fact that upon this continent
is afforded opportunity for the intelli-
gent amalgamation Of the races. The
present President and the next President
Of the United States has declared him
self in favor of exerting the broader
Christian idea of bringing all the peo
pies of the world together for their great
est good. That is the policy of the Re-
publican party under it's present con-
duct.
OF course, there must be restrictions,
stern ones, at all the ports of entry of
human beings. We are not offering
ground here for the breeding of criminals
or degenerates, but we are offering
ground here for the helpfulness of all of
those of the outer world who can better
their condition by coming here. The
Republican party is going to live up to
this program. It's attitude has been
openly and definitely declared by its can
didate. Could there be better attitude
or one more Christian and sensible?

NATURALIZED CITIZENS.
Cogent Reasons Why They Should Vote
the Republican Ticket.

the Republican Ticket.
There are in the United States several
hundred thousands of naturalized Amerl-
can citizens who, by virtue of our liberal
laws, are entitled to vote for President,
and who in their native countries had
no political privileges. In the light of
facts how ought they to vote?
1t has always been the policy of the
United States to encourage foreign immi-
grafton and the population of the coun-
try has been greatly increased by that
means. Both political parties have from
time to time declared in favor of encOur-
aging immigration of a desirable charac-
ter, and have approved of the liberal
naturalization laws under which aliens
may become citizens.
But this action of political parties has
had little or nothing to do in bringing
about the immense immigration from for
eign countries to the United States. 1t
has been brought about by our liberal
land laws and by protective tariff legisla-
ton and other laws which have insured
steady employment and good wages to
workingmen and general prosperity to
the country. These are the conditions
that have attracted foreign immigrants
these conditions we would have invited
them in vain.
Statistics show that the tide of foreign
immigration has varied with business
conditions in this country. 1t has fallen
off in hard times and increased with good
times. It's highest point has been reach
ed during years of Republican prosperity
and it's lowest during years of Demo
cratic depression. From 1873 to 1882 it
rose from $4,000 in a year to $4,000.
Then it fell off to $4,000 and rose again
to 64S,OO0 in 1892. The lowest immi-
grafton in any two years of the last TWEEN
ty was 285,O00 in 1894 and 258,000 in
1895, two years of Democratic rule.
The homestead laws, under which mill
ions of acres of land have been taken up
by industrious poor men, including hun
dreds of thousands of foreign-born citi-
zens, were originated and passed by the
Republican party. The protective tariff
laws, which have caused prosperity and
given employment and good wages to
workingmen, have been enacted by the
Republican party over the determined OPP
position of the Democrats.
In the light of these facts it would
seem that gratitude as well as common
sense should lead naturalized American
citizens to vote with and for the party
that has benefited them.

Rochester N. " Post-Express9
"We can't do any harm because there
is a Republican Senate" pleads Judge
Parker.
The same plea was made by the Demo
Gratis in 1884 and very unwisely the
country made a favorable response.
There was then Democratic President,
a Democratic House, and a Republican
Senate; consequently divided response
bility and an unsatisfactory administra-
ton. In 1888 Cleveland was beaten be-
cause of his free trade message. In 1892
he made another appeal to the country.
He didn't have a fair chance before; the
Senate was Republican, and blocked
these glorious measures for the relief of
the common people which Democratic
craftsmanship had planned; if the
electors would only put the Democrats
into full control of the Federal govern
| ment reign of unparalleled prosperity
would be inaugurated. Again the people
| responded. and a Democratic President,
a Democratic House, and Democratic
Senate were elected. For the first time
since the Civil war the Democrats had
| the opportunity to do as they pleased.
| What was the result? Blunders in every
direction, the greatest of which were
| increases in the public debt, issues of
| bonds to pay running expenses, and
such a crazy revision Of the tariff as
plunged the country into a tremendous
