MUNICIPAL CREDITS.
They Have strengthened and I'm

! They Have Strengthened and I'm.
proved Under Republican Policies.
The same Republican policies which
have strengthened the credit of the Uni
ted States government and caused its
/ bonds to rise steadily in value have also
promoted the credit of States, municipal
lties, school districts. etc, which can
now issue bonds to far greater advant-
age than eight years ago, thus resulting
IN great saving to taxpayers. Owing to
the increase in the general prosperity,
savings have steadily accumulated and
nave become invested largely in bonds
issued by municipalities in furtherance
Of public improvements.
Eight years ago, in Democratic times.
municipalities and States found it even
more difficult than the general govern
ment to sell bonds except at great sacri-
nee owing to the extreme depression in
the investment markets. Public i'm
provements, therefore. had to wait in
uehnitely since the money for them could
not be obtained, except by excessive in
crease in taxation.
The change, however, within the last
eight years from bad to good, as regards
the credit Of these local governments and
thelr ability to borrow money for needed
improvements, is an evil thing from the
democratic standpoint
In his speech to the Democratic edi-
tors at Rosemount on September 6. AL
ton B. Parker bewaied the "extrava-
gance in Federal, State and municipal
governments" and dolefully noted: "The
Indebtedness Of the municipal govern
ments is steadily piling up, BOND IS
SUES ARE INCREASINGLY FIRE.
QUbNT. and the people have not the
satisfaction, in many instances. of a full
equivalent in improvements for the
money expended"
The appended table shows how in
seven typical cities Of the United States
about evenly distributed geographically.
municipal credits have risen during the
last eight years of Republican prosperity.
ana have made it possible for public i'm
proyements to be accomplished with dim.
lnishing burden to taxpayers. The table
compares the basis on which these bonds
were sold in 1895 and 1896 with the
basis on which they have been sold this
year (Of course the lower the basis
the greater the advantage to the muni-
eipahties in placing new issues and the
greater the advantage to investors who
hold the original issues.) Here are the

Democratic party denounces protection
as robbery, and would wipe it ont.
The Democratic platform attempts to
make an issue out 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 at war. The Re
publican party believes in real tariff re-
vision. Conditions change. and as they
change the tariff needs modification to
meet the new conditions. The Repub-
hcan party would revise schedules. but
still maintain protection, while the Demo
cratic party proposes not to revise sched-
ules but to abolish protection.

WHY Does Parker obiectY

The Democratic presidential candi.
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods OF
diplomacy; that is, he has departed from
the old style, believes in a straightfor-
ward expression Of exactly what the at
titude Of this nation is. and does not hes
itate to say that this nation is quite pre-
pared to take care OF itself.
Well what would you have? Are we
not great nation, practically owning
with our Canadian brothers, a great con
tinent and quite prepared. not merely 20
suggest but to assist in the affairs Of the
world? And is it not a duty?

A Word to Partisan Democrats.

Republican prosperity is not a vague,
meaningless platitude. 1t is not some
thing that may be good for the other
fellow and not good for you. If you
would be willing to deny yourself Re
publican prosperity for the sake Of being
hide-bound partisan Democrat you
ought nevertheless to ask yourself wheth-
er you have a good moral right to vote
to deprive others Of it.
Republican prosperity is what viii con-
duce to the happiness of your home. In
Democratic times your wives and chill
dren and your neighbors suffered as well
as yourself. If you are willing to try
for yourself another dose Of Democratic
hard times, your affection nevertheless
for the helpless ones at home, who want
the good things of this life if you don't,
ought to be sufficient to make you vote
for four more years of Republican pros
perity.

ton
Mr.. Parker is probably right in think
ing that if there was a return 10 Demo
cratic policies municipalities would is
sue less bonds. They probably could
not, if they would The reason is sim
pie. Democratic victory would again
create depression in the investment mar
kets, prices of municipal bonds would
go to pieces municipalities could not
issue such bonds except at exceptional
cost to taxpayers. and they would be fore
ed to the alternative either OF not spend
ing money in furtherance Of improve
ments commensurate with their growth,
or they would have to enormously in
crease taxes, and so let present taxpay-
ers pay the entire bill for benefits which
posterity would enjoy.

HIRED MALlGNER OF ROOSEVELT
RECuKEO BYlNoIANA MINISTER.
Can stand War, FIeas. Flies, Frogs
and All the, other PIasuss Of Pha-
raoh, but Not Another Democrats
Administration.

At the opening Of the campaign the
Democratic managers asserted that
Friends. Dunkards and members of 9th
er peace-loving Christian societies would
oppose Mr.. Rooseyelts election. lnves-
tigation showed the assertion to be un-
true Now the Democratic managers are
resorting to despicable means, in the
hope of winning few votes, but are
meeting with merited rebuifs. w. j..
1 Showalter, who processes to be a Dunk
ard, has been employed by the Democrat
ic committee TO do its dirty work. Here
is sample of the letters he is sending
to Indiana Dunkards and the kind of re-
plies he is receiving. The recipient OF
the letter quoted is a preacher at Kappa,
Indiana. Showalter's letter follows:
Washington, ID. c., Sept 10.
MY Dear Sir-I enclose you a stamp
ed envelope in which l want to ask you
TO be good enough to send me the names
and addresses Of all the male members
OF your church who are over p years of
age, or as many of them as YOU can.
You viii see by the enclosed slip just
what President Roosevelt thinks Of peo-
pie who profess the peace principle and
/ simply want to put the same thing in
their hands so that if they vote at all
for him they can do it with their eyes
open. My people are all Dunkards, my
father being treasurer of the Old Folks
Home at Timberville.
Il trust that God will speed the day
when all men will espouse the peace
principle as your good people have done
the day when there will be none to ma
lgn them for it.
Thanking you in advance for the IA
vor, l am, very truly,
wv. j. SHOWALTER."
The reply sent by the Dunkard preach
er was as follows:

DEMOCRATS HuMoR.
Effort of the New York World to Make
Itself Ridiculous.

The New York World. which can get
on all sides Of a question quicker than
any other Democratic newspaper in exist
ence, is making itself ridiculous by ask
ing how the President expects to secure
money to further his alleged ambitious
schemes Of western hemisphere expan-
sion and further army and navy in
creases when the revenues of the govern
ment are decreasing. The World also
implies that the President has authority
to dip into the treasury for any purpose
he wishes to further. This kind of rot"
should be printed under the heading
"Humor of the Day" "It is worth
while, however. to notice such stuff, "
says the Buffalo News, ''in order to re-
mind rational voters Of the desperate
straits OF Democratic advocates in the
campaign in hand. They stop at nothing.
not even at falsehOod that must be re-
garded as deliberate, for it is repeated
in a hundred forms and never acknowl-
edged as false when completely exposed
The World follows up its Morgan -Roose-
welt story, pronounced by the President
himself as a deliberate lie out of whole
cloth, by such assertions as those re-
ferred to in this article"

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

Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for
Inaugurating the Service.
When Democrats assert that their
party is the father Of rural free de-
livery. they willfully misstate the facts.
1t is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehoOd. for it is a deliberate lie,
uttered with the intention to deceive
many persons. Rural free delivery had
its origin under the Harrison admins
tration, and Postmaster General Wana-
maker was its father" He proposed
and 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 expend 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 it in a hostile message to Con-
gress. When Mckinley became Presi-
dent, rural free delivery was pushed to
the front as a Republican policy. This
policy has been continued under Presi-
dent Roosevelt until now there are
about 27.500 routes in operation. No
farmer need be deceived by Democracy's
false claims. for the record shows that to
Republicans alone belongs the credit Of
and fostering a mail ser
vice that is of incalculable benefit to
'ural communities.

Whatever evil or menace there NAV
be in trusts and combinations Of capital.
the people will take notice that the Re-
publican party is the only one that has
attempted to break up illegal combina-
tons OF capital. During the two admin

IN power it did nothing The Republi-
cans passed the Sherman antitrust law
and all the suits under it have been insti-
tuted by Republican administrator

Confidence in Roo.er.l,.

Not all public men who are popular
enjoy public confidence in the same de.
gree. People may say of a public man:
u admire him for his brilliancy and re-
sourcefulness. but l am not sure that
his motives are altogether disinterested. ''
No person speaks that way Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. People not only admire
his ability and resourcefulness, but they
have absolute confidence in his integrity.
il, the purity Of his motives and in his
determination to administer the govern
ment in the interest Of the whole people.
That being the case. why not re-elect
him and a Congress that will hold IN
his hands? Why vote to remove a tried
and faithful public servant. or for a
Congressman who would try to tie his
hands and embarrass his administra-
toni

There seems to be an impression in

William f. Sheehan.

Charles f. Murphy.

Democratic Tariff Revision.

How does the Democratic party pro
pose to deal with the tariff! Does il
say, We assent to the principle Of pro
lection and ask the people of the United
States to commit to our hands the reyis-
ion of the tariff in conformity with that
principleY Far from it. 1t ayows its
unrelenting hostility to the principle Of
protection and asks the people to put IN
its hands the revision Of the tariff IN
order that it may revise protection ont OF
it and repeat the experiment Of Grover
Cleveland's second administration. Ac-
eording to Mr.. Gompers president Of the
American Federation of Labor, that ad-
ministration put 100000 American
wOrkingmen TO walking the streets ana
without bread for their families. That IS
the kind of tariff reform revision the
Democratic party proposes.

EIect a Rennhlicnn Honse.

Nearly every American citizen who
will vote for President in the coming cleo
tiOn will also vote for a Representative
in Congress. 1t is to be hoped that no
Republican will fail to vote for the Re
publican candidate for Congress in his
district. While the national honor and
the public welfare demand the election Of
President Roosevelt, and while the rea-
sons for his election are overwhelming
and unanswerable, those for the election
of Republican House of Representa-
tives are equally so. With a Democratic
House Mr. Roosevelt would be almost
helpless to carry out the great Republi-
can policies to which he is committed.
No Republican should be induced by any
consideration not to vote for the Re
publican candidate for Congress in bis
district.
