Republican Victory Expected.

Except for the belief in business cir.
cles that there will be a sweeping Re
publican victory in November there nm
doubtedly would be some apprehension
in business circles" and this in turn
would swiftly lead up to Unsatisfactory
industrial conditions"
As soon as the returns from the cleo
ton in November can definitely show to
the business interests of the country thar
the party OF Incompetence and calamity
has again been defeated, and that there
fore there viii be four years more of Re.
publican prosperity, there will undoubt-
edly he great impetus to the present
prosperity.
Following the election Of 1904 the
gains in every direction will probably be
rs pronounced ana extraordinary as fol-
lowed the Republican victories of 1896
and 1900
Democratic success always tends to
create alarm and depression through
business circles. while Republican vic.
tories. on the other hand. always in
spire greater confidence and make times
better. even with prosperity
already being enjoyed. like in 1900. when
the reelection Of President Mckinley
greatly increased the existing prosperity.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

lapses Under Democratic Policies.

: It Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Under Democratic Policies.
One of the great arguments Of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the mar
kets Of the world" Well, the only time
the free traders have had control Of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration.
They did NOT put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to it to put most of the factories OF
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world They
may have been open to US, but our man
utacturerS were going out Of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
| the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets Of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them, was invaded by cheap for
! eign goods, however
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country.
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years We have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets Of the world
Is to protect our own market against
INVASION build up our industries. and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had ANYTHING like free
trade within those ten years. and vet we |
are selling millions of dollars worth of |
goods every year in the markets of the |
world"
In Congress. last winter, CONGRESSMAN |

Alton b. Parker says the gold stand
ard is ''irrevocably established" but he
does not say that his own personal be-
het in it as affording an HONEST

irrevocably established, nor. Furthermore.
that he deemed the Democratic partv

As the gold standard Of value was

the Democratic party can honestly claim
to nave ''irrevocably established" is the
gold standard Of silence on subject on
