In 1896 it was generally feared that |

hut at his own fresile, with plenty OF
time to weigh the question, he decided
for the gold STANDARD, AND THE DEM

let NOW SAY THAT THE FARMER
DECIDED RIGHT. In 1900 the cry
was Imperialism, and with his love OF
freedom it was said that the farmer
might be stampeled. but again he allow
ell common sense aud calm consideration
to decide the question, and, seeing no
danger of militnrism or overthrow of the
established government by the new order
OF things, forced upon us by the war
with Spain, the farmer again cast his
ballot for the Republican ticket and
time has proved that his Judgment was
good and his decision right.

L. the present campaign no new or
striking issue is presented. The Demo
Gratis arraign the Republican party, viiify

and what would be gained by the cleo
ton of Democratic President is not APP
parent. A general calamity howl" is
no argument. and to secure the farmer
vote it is necessary to present more than
chaff.
One term of Democratic President,
two years only of absolute Democratic
administration, was sufficient to prac-
ideally paralyze business throughout the
nation. deprive the worker cf the chance
to earn an honest living, depress values
and prices and make us the laughing
stock and subject of ridicule of the ma
lions of the world.
Mckinley was elected, Republican
Congress enacted a consistent protective
tariff, industry was revived factories
started. unemployed given work at the

Philippine Islands and the people given
civil liberty in its fullest sense and the
opportunity of becoming a creditable part
of the greatest nation on earth. The sta

by the action of the Republican admin

interest charges lowered; laws passed
chat will bring the arid lands under cul-
ovation, and that, too, without tax or
cost to any person except the one di-
rcctly benefited by the purchase of the
land from the government.
The securing OF the route for an 18TH
milan canal, the construction OF which is
now assured, is browning triumph fol
a Republican President and the party
and no one class will receive a greater
benefit from the connection OF the AT
lantic and Pacific by this great waterway
than will the farmer.
The opposition to the Cuban reel
procty bill, on account of the reduction
of the tariff on raw sugar, came largely
from misconception of what the result
would be. Instead OF retarding prOduc
ton and lowering the price of suga
beets. the opposite has been the result
and the production has been stimulate
and profits increased.
