The difference between the Repnbli.
can and Democratic parties on the tariff
question is radical and fundamental. The
former believes In protection to Amcri-
can industries because experience has
proved beyond a doubt that 1t is promo
tive Of the prosperity ahSe of capitalist
and workman, of manufacturer and wage
Garner, or employer and employe. The
Democratic party denounces protection
rs robbery, and would wipe It out.
The Democratic platform attempts to
make an Issue ont of tariff revision, but
when Democratic orators talk OF tariff
revision they mean destruction OF pro-
lection. 1t is the protective principle
with which they are Mt war. The Re.
publican party believes In real tariff re-
vision. Conditions change, and rs they
change the tariff needs modification to
meet the new conditions. The Repub-
lican party would revise schedules. but
still maintain protection. while the Demo
cratic party proposes not to revise schcd-
ules but to abolish protection.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for
InauEursting the Service.


When Democrats assert that their
party Is the father of rural free de-
livery, they willfuily misstnte the facts.
II is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehood, for 1t il deliberate lie,
uttered with the intention TO deceive
many persons. Rural free delivery had
its origin under the Harrison admins
tration, and Postmaster General Wnna-
maker was Its father" He proposed
md established the first experimental
route. When the Democrats came into
power, under President Cleveland. they
did everything possible to kill the rural
free delivery; in fact, they absolutely
refused to cxpend any of the $4,000
congressional appropriation for ItS nour-
ishment, and both Postmasters General
Bissell and Wilson, in their annual re-
ports, did their utmost to discredit IT,
President Cleveland also threw cold
water on II in hostile message TO Com
gress. When Mckinley became Presi-
dent, rural free delivery was pushed to
the front ns a Republican policy. This
policy has been continued under Presi-
dent Roosevelt, until now there are
about 27,5O0 routes In operation. No
farmer need be deceived by Dcmocrscy's
false claims, for the record shows that to
Republicans alone belongs the credit OF
inausurating and fostering a mail ser
vice that is of incalculable benefit to
rural communities.

Trade the watehword of the West.

Inc hon. Binger Herman, Republican
member of Congress from Oregon. In a
public address recently delivered in that
State said:
We of the Pacific coast can never look
much for great markets in the Atlantic
States. We must look elsewhere. Europe
Is pressing us closely. With adverse tarin
laws in some nations and with Increasing
limitations OF our products In others, we
must expect the European market to re-
ceive less and less of our surplus II Is
time to provide for future contingencies.
We look to the Orient, and there we find
one-half the population OF the earth begin
ming the career OF consumption of such
products as we produce The Asiatic rice
caters are as fond Of flour as we are. Sup
pose our nation Increases our trade with
the Chinese alone only one per cent per
capita, for each day. that would equal
S4OO,ODO per day, one billion hve hun
dred million dollars per yenr. One bushei
of wheat sold the same people per capita
would equal nn increased market of 4OO,-

The land value will regulate the price

Another great advantage for the farm

must educate the Orient in the use of
his products, there are no prejudices to
overcome in the case of fooistuffs. The
orientals know their value, and the
market is already made and waiting. 1t
is one that cannot be taken from u.s.

These men are tired OF the ceaseless

tired of the neglect in which the for

are the accumulators OF vast wealth and
corresponding houses, lands, and the APP
pearance of ease. The fortunate many
are the workers who live in comfort, but
do not have race horses, yachts or auto

KUROKI REPORTED ACROSS THE HUN

Advance, Saying That He Could
kes Have Eynded ReHnem-
kamDH's Cossack Scouts.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 21.-Inter-
est is again concentrated upon Port
Arthur, owing to the receipt from
foreign sources of news that a general
storming of the fortifications there has
begun. A few belated kilograms from
General Stoessel, the commander at
Port Arthur, are published, recording
the fepulse of the Japanese and con
tinucd attacks. This strengthens con
tidence in the ability OF the defenders
to hold ont despite the furious IN
slaugbts of the Japanese. The last at
tack mentioned by General Stdessel
took place the night Of Sept. IA and
was directed against redoubt No. 8.
which protects the water supply of
the city. The redoubt is about two
miles beyond the line of permanent
forts, and the attack upon this shows
that the Japanese were not then within
striking distance of the main fortress.
Reports from Shanghai that some of
the d~efenses had fallen into the hands
of the japanese as a result of a gem
eral assault on Sept. 20 are not con-
lirmed from Russian sources.
The latest kilograms brought to Che
fiji by Prince Radziwill have not yet
reached the war Office. 1t is under
stood that these dispatches contain de-
tails of the landing of strong Japanese
rcinforoements at Dalny. which would
tend to confirm the belief that 1t is
the intention of the Japanese to storm
the fortress and that the warships will
probably take part in the attack. In
this event Rear Admiral Wiren's di-
vision will doubtless go out and en-
gage the Japanese fleet.
All Russia is a~nXiously awaiting
news from the beleaguered garrison.
Public feeling has been aroused to Il
high tension by the dreadful picture
given by Prince Radziwill of the suf-
ferings of the Russian army there
The sensational announcement that
General Kuroki has crossed the HUI
river unopposcd and that the whole
Japanese army is advancing upon Muk-
cen is oyershadowed by anxiety for
Port Arthur. Moreover, the
ment does not receive complete Gre
dence here as being in direct contradie,
ton of official news issued by the gen
eral staff. General Kuropatkin an
nounced only two days ago that there
was not a single japanese east of
BcntsiaputZc. How, IL is asked, could
General Kuroki, with 100000 men, slip
past General Rennemkampffs Co.'S
sacks and cross the Hun river near the
Fushan coal mines, thirty miles epst
of Mukden? Fushan is situated on the
road from Bentsiaputze, where General
Kuroki crossed the Taitse river. This
road is carefully watched by General
Kuropatkin's outposts between Muk-
den and Sintsintin. A strong guard
has been placed at the Fushan mines,
which General Kuropatkin will not
give up without a struggle, as the loss
of the mines would involve the cutting
off of the coal supply for the whole of
the Manchurian railway. Neverthe-
less, it is considered more than doubt
full if General Kuropatkin will make q
decisive stand south of Tie pass.
