tries almost ruined by the tariffs OF
1916 and 1857.
IN this connection, as entirely un-
pre5udiced and irreproachable testi-
mony, we quote the following from
Appleton's Annual Encyclopedia for
1861; which, alluding to the Morrill,
tariff, said:
"A revenue law affording uncommon
protection to manufactures was
enacted. This was proposed not for
the purpose of outstanding the re-
sources of the country in anticipation
of approaching strife, but chiefly as a
great party measure, and to secure an
increase of prosperity in this great
national interest. 1t has proved to
be the wisest measure adopted during
the session. 1t Immediately checked
the importation OIL foreign manufac-
lures, secured the reduction of the
debt of the country to other nations,
caused large Importation of specie
In payment of exports, and thereby en-
abled the citizens to advance loans to
the government in its most pressing
hour"
Yet Judge Parker has the audacity
to say that the law would not have
been enacted but for the civil war!
This part of his speech alone should
condemn any utterance that he may
give TO the American people as unfit
for credence

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONGEST.

Sioux City Tribune.-After spending
several years at the task. a
learned professor has given to
the world the information, backed by
statistics, that married men live much
longer than bachelors. 1t is cheering
to have science step in and declare
that married life actually makes man
live longer than bachelorhood, and not
merely makes life seem longer for him,
as the jokers have been telling us.
According to the statistics mentioned
the mortality among bachelors between
the ages of 80 and As years is 81 per
cent, while among married men for the
same period 1t is but 1S per cent For
forty-one bachelors who attain the age
Oh 4O years, there are seventy-eight
married men who reach the same age.
At 60 years of age there remain but
twenty-five bachelors for forty eight
married men; at 70, eleven bachelors
for twenty-seven married men and at
30, three bachelors for nine married
men.
1t is not plain just how these statis-
tics were gathered, but 1t stands to
reason that prominent scientific man
would not waste time gathering mean
ingless figures and publishing them to
the world. But even on their face, the
figures are supported by what all men
know about natural laws and their in
liueIlCeS. Men WIN wives are more
temperate and regular in their habits
than bachelors. Particularly the hap
PLY welded ones are taken care of by
their wives and guarded so that very
few influences prejudicial to health
and life are experienced. The husband
is likely to work harder, live simpler
life and indulge himself less than the
bachelor. He has others to command
his attention and concern. But the
bachelor has only himself. and Is as a
rule without domestic restraint. He
has more liberty than is good for him
In the direction of pursuing indulg-
ence and pleasure. The bachelor also
takes more personal risks than the
married man, for the latter Is likely
to remember his wife and children and
the responsibility resting upon him.
But aftrr all. it is hardly necessary
to quote figures to prove the desirable
ity of the married state. Men and wo-
men, or all but ridiculousl,- small
proportion, know instinctively that
marriage is their natural estate, and 1t
is better for them under all conditions
to be married. They are not helping
themselves by deliberately choosing
bachelorhood or spnsterhood.

ABSURD BECAUSE UNNECESSARY

Kansas City Tirnes.-The latest cir
cular from democratic headquarters is
one making the startling announce

plans to buy the presidency for Theo-

way to get 1t. What a familiar ring
this accusation has! 1t Is an old cam
palgn cry, but it never before seemed
so utterly absurd; 1t never before re-
flected so seriously on the ingenuity of
national campaign committee.
Mr.. Cortelyou, of course, is not the
kind of a man to buy office for himself
or anybody else, even if he could, and
President Roosevelt would not let him
run that sort of campaign, even If he

A REPUBLICAN HOUSE.

Speaker Cannon, after a campaign
tour of six weeks, taking him into all
the close districts of the west, ex-
presses the opinion that the republi-
cans will have safe majority in the
next house. The only question now
is as to the majority The time has
come to get on the winning side. The
people of this district want member
of congress who will be able to go to
the speaker and to the majority mem
bers with the claims of this district.
To do that most successfully they
should elect man who will be in the
republican caucus, have a voice in the
organization of the house and be in
position to demand consideration of the
interests he presents and represents
This is a government through and
by parties. 1t has always been so and
will always be so as long as we have
representative government by ma
jority of the whole people When the
democrats won the election in 1892 and
secured control of the whole govern
ment, including president, house and
senate, 1t was the democratic party
that came into power. There were in
dividual democrats who had been
elected on their personal merits or pop
ularity, by people who believed they
would represent them as well or better
than the republican candidates. They
were conservative and patriotic men
and some republicans voted for them
on the supposition that it made little
difference who represented their dis
trict so long as he was an honorable
man.
1t did not take long for the people
to realize that they had been mistaken
in this assumption. They found that
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier., 1904-10-29

every man elected as democrat went
Into the democratic caucus and agreed
TO abide by the will of the majority of
that partisan organization. They could
not do otherwise and have any influ-
ence In the house of representatives.
They had to belong to some party and
take part in some caucus to make their
influence as representatives felt. They
had been elected as democrats and
they had to act with their party. They
did Just what they should have done
as democrats. The people who were de-
ceived were those who believed in pro-
lection to American Industries and
voted the democratic ticket. They
voted a ticket which represented the
opposite of their political prin-
ciples. They deceived themselves.
So it will be this year. No man can
vote the democratic ticket unless he
believes in free trade and a scuttle
policy in the Philippines. The demo-
cratic party stands for both these pol
icies and if it can secure majority
OF the congress it would carry both
into execution.
We believe that Speaker Cannon's 8
Judgment of the political situation is
sound. We believe that the republi-
cans will be in the majority In the next
house and will control, holding fast by
the policy of protection and honest
dealing with the Philippines. We be-
lieve that the republican policies are
safe because there will be republi-
can presidential a republican house and
republican senate for the next four
years.
But We also believe that the i'm
portant interests of this state should
be represented by men who can go
into the republican caucus and have a
part in the organization of the house
so that they can the better make
their influence felt in the party which
is to control that body. This is prac-
tical age. We all want to be in posi-
tion to see that our interests are prop
erly represented. There is not a man
in this district who would deliberately
invest his money on the losing side Of
business proposition, or who, If he
had stock in bank or manufacturing
plant, would not prefer to be with the
majority rather than the minority of
the stockholders, providing they rep
resented policy which he regarded
as safe and sound. Personal liking
would not govern his vote. The same
rule holds good in politics. 1t is a
business matter. We want repre-
sentative who will not only vote the
sentiment of this district but one who
will hold such relations to the speaker
and the majority that he can go to
those who control and demand his
rights, rather than go with an appeal
for interests which he does not be-
lieve in and can not possibly vote for
unless his party so decides by ma
jority of the caucus.
