Who's Been Rob bed7

The Democratic platform says: owe
denounce Protectionism as a robbery"
This is certainly startling if true. But
who has been robbed:
Not the farmer. who is getting a bill
lion dollars more year for his products
than under Free Trade; who has paid
off his mortgages, who has improved his
lands, who has increased his stock and
implements, and who has money to burn
instead OF corn, as was the case under
Free Trade.
No, the farmer has not been robbed,
and the farmers and their families con-
stitute 40 per cent of all our people.
Not the wage earners in manufacture
ing industries, who have added billion
dollars to their savings since 1897, who
have increased their insurance, who have
paid for their homes, who have worked
less hours and earned more money than
ever before. No, the wage Garner has
not been robbed.
Not the railroad employees, who are
getting quarter of billion dollars
more wages year than under Free
Trade.
Not the railroad owners, who are
getting twice the dividends and whose
stock is worth about double what it was
under Free Trade.
Not the wives and daughters, who
live well and dress well when the hus-
bands and fathers are fully employed at
high wages.
Not the boys, who are getting a good
education.
Not the old soldiers nor the present
army, nor the men who man the
ships
No. there is no one being robbed eX-
cept the pawnbrokers and the Democrats
who want a job. There is where the
robbery comes in, and there is where it
hurts.
The would-be cabinet officers and
heads Of departments, the would-be
postmasters and clerks, the would-be
ambassadors and ministers and con,uls,
/ the would-be office holder of any and
every description, he thinks he is being
robbed, and yet he can make more
money in his business and get more
wages for his work than he could under
Free Trade.
He is robbed, not of work and income
but of position he cannot be trusted tC
fill. That is all the robbery there is to
Protection.

We this week publish the second in
stallment of Democratic literature. We
commend a perusal of it to our readers
of whatever party. 1t won't hurt any
body to read what sort of an argument
Democrats are putting up for a change.
By the way, we haven't lost single
reader yet because of the unholy C0 act
on our part of publishing Democratic
reading matter. We fear the Free Press
miscalculated the sort of people that
read the country weeklies in Vermont
Hyde Park News and Citizen.
We print the last instalment this week
and have not only not lost subscriber,
but have not had one kick because we
gave the Democrats an opportunity to
be heard-for pay-in our advertising

Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for This

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air pas

catarrhal poison heals and .oothes the
irritated mucous membrane and effectu-
ally drives this disease from the sys-

the lungs.

Unm a s ked.

Boiled down to its real essence, sifted
to its real meaning, the Democratic cam
paign of 1904 is a mere INSCRIPTIONS
hunt for office. They have no fixed and
certain creed. They have no articles of
faith by which Democratic loyalty can
be tested. Stealing the platform of the
Peoples party in 1895, stealing that of
the Republicans in 1904-how can it now
pretend to be a party based upon con-
victions?"
1t was not Republican that said this,
but 10000 Democrats in New York city
cheered Thomas Watson, the Peoples
Party candidate for President, till they
were hoarse, when he thus arraigned the
present Democratic party. Well in
formed politicians say Watson will poll
the votes of 100, 600 Bryan Democrats in
New York alone.

Rig hit You Are.

1t has long been known in Windham
county that G.. II. Davenport of Brattle-
boro is nobody's fool, but not until with
in the last two weeks has it been demon
strated that he Is an expert adver-
Using bureau. He has been plac-
ing "A little Democratic advertising for
the Democratic State committee; any
body could do that. Davenport has
done more; he has been foxy enough TO
get more free than paid advertising. A
Burlington daily saw fit to roast Daven-
ports scheme of securing Democratic
advertising in Republican papers and
told why space could not be secured in
its columns. Davenport has been busy
most of the time since writing commun-
ications which are being published all
over the State. This carefully fostered
method OF free advertising has given the
paid advertising importance wholly out
of proportion with its merits. 1t is a
good man who can secure five dollars
worth of advertising on an outlay of one
dollar, but Davenport is it.-Bellows
Falls Times.
The Times is right. There has been
nothing in the Democratic advertising
to change a single Republican vote. 1t
was so one-sded; so strongly Demo
cratic; so unfair in all its statements
that it Disguised the doubtful voters,
judging by all we can learn, and will only
serve to get the Democrats to vote.

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
OF food, but because the food
does not feed.

ness and failure to grow

Some Facts.


Some unwise partisans appeal to pas
sion and prejudice to secure support for
the candidate of the party they represent,
and perhaps do succeed in changing
some votes that way, but they overlook
the fact that it is not the millionares on
one side and the lowest rank of the peo-
pie on the other who control the des-
TIMES of this great republic, but
rather the great intelligent, sober and
industrious "middle class" The agri-
cuturist, professional man, merchant or
others who daily labor with hand or
brain, and-thank God!-successfully
labor to elevate themselves.
. These should be approached with argu
ments based on facts, and not only based
on facts, but with a statement of
facts.
It proves nothing for one man to call
another rascal, and no man is a rascal
simply because he is Republican or
Democrat
The personality of the candidate is not
the important issue; it is the principles
of the party he represents Its priuci-
pies, its record and the results, as shown
by history and the condition of the
country.
/ a short summary of these results will
be the strongest argument against "A
change that could possibly be offered,
looking at them solely as such and not
as what might have been.
We have the best and safest banking
system in eXistel ce. When one receives
a bank note he never looks at anything
but its denomination, knowing that
whether he is in Maine or Arizona, its
worth just what it says it is This
banking system has been the target of
attack by the Democrats for years and
if they were in control it would surely
be changed for the worse.
The gold standard has not been ire
vocably settled, for change in control
of the administration could unsettle
that.
The tariff, unequal in its benefits and
unwse as it may be in parts, has built
up our manufacturers until they are on
a firm foundation to compete against the
world, and the result is that remunera-
tive employment has been given to
hundreds of thousands of our people,
enabling them to live better, secure
better educations and save more money
.l. u,
before had since the beginning of the
world.
When the mass of the people is at
work they have money to spend as well
as money to save, and this money goes
into circulation through the shop keep
er, and finally reaches the producer
whether he be farmer, builder or man
ufacturer
Statistics show that during the past
eight years this money has had wider
circulation than in any other similar
period of our existence as a nation.
There are fewer mortgages on farms
than ever before. The farmer has had {
better market for his products.
In the mercantile world there have
been fewer failures. and the savings
banks and building associations have
more depositors and greater deposits.
: A change in the administration of the
t government might not injuriously atfec
this admirable condition of affairs, bu
? the chances are decidedly that it would
and it certainly would have disturbing
influence on the country that might b,
q disastrous for the present and hazard thu
prosperity of the future.
