been getting, because the democrats
will admit to this country, in com
petition with our goods, the goods
you are making for me and for
which | am paying you good wages,
the goods which they are making on
the other side at much less wages"
He began to shut down. 1t was not
one manufacturer, but every manu-
facturer, in every line of business.
So, long before the actual legisla-
ton came, there was stagnatlon of
business. The shadow of the COM
ing squall was plainly seen and ev-
cry prudent man began to take in
sail. The first to suffer, of course,
were the wage-earners. They suf-
fered before the squall struck and
they suffered throughout.
The workingmen, the capitalists,
the salaried men, the women folks
of the little families of the land, all
remember the experience of that
time. When the democrats took
hold of the government they made
good the threat. They passed un
wise legislation and the country fell
the full force of the squall which
had been threatened.
1t would seem that the average
man ought to take example from
that experience. The democratic
party is coming now with threat
and promise of just such another
experience. The conditions are
similar. The country is prosperous.
No man will deny that. The pros
perity has been created by legisla-
ton of the republican party. No
man ought to deny that. Mills are
IN blast, factories are going, wheels
are turning, wages are being paid in
every community, all as result OF
the Dingley tariff act. That condl-
ton is plain fact, not to be dis
puted.
Democratic rule will mean just
the reverse. Judge Parker in his
letter of acceptance says that the
democratic party can not do any
harm to the tariff, now, because, as
he explains, there is republican
senate which can not be ousted for
several years. That admission OF
his ought to be the strongest argu
ment for re-electlng a Republican
House, when carried to its last
analysis.
But suppose there is a Demo-
cratic House? Will not that be a
threat to the country? Who will
know that the next turn of the poll
tical wheel might not bring demo-
cratic senate? Won't the business
world feel the shadow of the posi-
BILE squall and begin to take in sail?
With a Republican House, the
country will know that the situation
is safe for another two or four
years. Business will go on, the
mills will keep in blast, the wheels
will keep turning, wages will be
paid. What is the use of taking |
chances In such a big game as we
are playing now? We have control
of our own market absolutely, we
have big share of the foreign mar
kets, and it all has come about |
through wise legislation already |
enacted.
We have in our own generation
and time sad example of the folly
of swapping horses in the middle
of the stream. In Heavens name,
why repeat the mistake?

How Prosperity is ENCOURAGED.

Prosperity has been created by
legislation, but it can be lost with
out legislation. 1t can be lost by a
mere threat. We had an example
of that in 1892. The country had
prosperity, existing under wise tar
iff legislation. The democrats came
into power, and what happened1
Long before there was any demo-
cratic legislation the business world
experienced the shadow of coming
events. 1t was known that the dem
ocrahc party was in control of the
government; business began to take

The Democrats lack of issue can
not blind the people to support any
personal assaults upon the Republi-
can nominee. The People have an
abiding interest in issues that must
be intelligently discussed and pro-
perly settled.

The North Dakota Democrats Are Re,

Possibility.

Jainestown, N. D., May 1.-The an

as a candidate for the democratic gu

In this case the nomination of Mr..
Hegge would be trump card for the
democrats to play.
The democrats will take a decided
stand on the primary election law and
may make it a prominent plank in the
coming platform. The chances are
that the republicans will turn down the
primary election plank.
In case this is done, the chances are
excellent for developments OF a start
ling nature. The democrats are more
strongly organized than for ten years,
and are playing a clever game

special agent Of the general landoffice.
Lounsberry has been suspended about
six months, pending an investigation of
charges of accepting railroad transporta-
