HOW CAN THE FARMER VOTE
FOR PEAkRE?

Wheat is now about seventy c hts
The price i fixed 10y the spectators on
the hicago and New York produce
exchanges and also for export, by those
in London and Liverpool. The farmers
have no protection ard generally sell
soon after the grain is threshed. There
is no protection on this staple product
of the farms and the tiller of the soil is
at the M rcy of the men who can
afford to hold and speculate on the
fruits Of his industry, leaving him a
meagre profit ON his financial aud ply
steal investment. Using the same
reasoning what right has the farmer to
pay tribute TO the trusts on aim st
everything he BUYS? What right has
this country to protect farming imp!e-
ment- aud their accessories, the food
the farH er eats and the articles he
needs to clothe himself and his family?
In othrr words, he pays tribute to the
fairfield trusts on every hand, and the
same interests practically name the
price at Nh h he must sell them his
wheat and com. If this is square
deal" then the farmers should not com
plain If they are satisfied then GER
tainly th-re is no reas1n to write such
nonsense. But You can believe they
are not all satisfied 10y any means
They are murmuring loud and long,
ami some day they will make their fell
low farmers j in them in an open re-
volt The time is ripe and at Just such
an election as this would be the proper
place to register united protest. You
can raise your voice now by voting
against Pearre, who stands for all that
the truss and combinations want. He
is always on their side in Congress, and
still you vote to send him back. You
cannot help yourself or your cause by
such an unfortunate discrimination.
The record of Pearre bears little on its
face that could commend itself to the
thoughtful farmer. He favored the
high tariff. which makes you pay
dearly for all trust-made articles and
gives you M relief in competition. If
you are getting salary as lab nrer on
farm your wages do not increase in
proportion to the outrageous st of
keeping yourself or your family.
These are facts, and knowing that
Pearre votes always with the interests
that grasps your throat and makes you
pay tribute to them, you still persist in
selling your birthright for the sake of
party regularity or some other reason
that has no value, when the vital facts
are considered Wake up and throw
of the yoke. Stand up for your rights
and demand justice. You have not
been getting it and it is about time to
try u new system.
And there is one thing about it all,
nothing could be worse than the con-
dition which now endures through the
indifference of the farmers of the coun.
try. Upon you and those who feel and
sympathize with you rests the re-pon-
sponsibility Of the future. Will you
shake off the shackles and rise as free
men worthy of the name?

HITTING BACK AT BONA
PARTE.

They are throwing it into Secretary
Bonaparte in lively way for the sar-
castle and most impolite remarks he
made in speech at the Lyric last
week. He forgot that other people
had memories, aud the way that they
are refreshing his is certainly a eau
ton. One of the things that sours the
regular Republicans is that Bonaparte
did not get his appointment through
any great service to that party, but
because of the personal relations exist
lug tetween himself and Theodore
Roosevelt, when the latter was on the
Civil Service Board. Bonaparte has
been reformer so-cal!ed, for years,
and so far is he above the passing
thrOng that scarcely one out of ten
knows bin as lie gees 10y. He could
not be elected to any Office in the
State.

WHY NOT?

If the government of the United
States may buy supplies in the cheap
est market, as it has been doing with
out paying Diugley duties, why may
not the rest of us enjoy the same
privilege? Why should not the States
be allowed to buy cement and other
building materials abroad for their
own use? Why should not cities and
towns have thes same right? Why should
not every mau be allowed to save his
money by purchasing at the lowest
price? The only fair answer to these
questions is that the Carnegies,
Schwabs, Hayemeyers, Duponts, and
the like, won't let their Republican
friends in Congress give US a square
deal

stamps that will be of interest to
the stamp collectors. For the
twenty six big offices of the coun-
try where the salary is 5000 or
over, the name of the office will
be printed on the stamp. This
will not be the case with the
1874 smaller Offices. The object
Of this innovation is to reduce
the likelihood of stamp robbery.
A special report from General
Greedy has just been issued toy
the War Department showing the
part that the soldiers of the reg
ular army played IN the San
Francisco earthquake and fire
disaster. The report is All inter
esting one and gives the enlisted
men of the army credit for the
utmost tact and efficiency during
that trying period General
Greedy says that while the army
has been trained strictly in the
professional line OF fighting ami
taking care Of itself, it was
found that the men aud officers
dis played immense adaptiolliry
and did work OF all sorts, not
only in policing but in assisting

The race question continues lead.
ing problem in Maryland politics
Congressman John Sharp Williams
OF Mississippi, in conference with the
Maryland organization leaders the past
week, declared that in his STATE the
poll tax is much more effective in
eliminating the negro vote than the
educational qualification. The poll
tax plan, it is believed, would appeal
to the people, and would enable the
Democrats to keep the negro, which
has always been a winning issue for
them, to the front in the fight. 1t
also is said that there is no reason why
the different factions of the party
might not get together on such prop
osition.

and It was pointed out that now

There is, of course. constant
contest between commercial firms

out the best aud most economical

week between outside firms,
headed by the American Bank
Note Company and the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing as to
which should get the contract
from the Post-Otfice Department

commercial company won out on

the bureau. which not only did
not like to he beaten on the
price of the bid, but which holds
that it can turn out more and
better work than any other institu-
ton of it's kind in the world. OF
course theirs is still some question
as to whether the lower bid of
the Bank Note Company will be
finally accepted, but the com

The st Louis Globe Democrat, an

the credit to the Republican party for
the railroad rate legislation. But SEN
ator Foraker, who should be a good

ocratic measure, pronounced for in the
Democratic national platforms, and
that no Republican platform bad en-

fairer view of the matter, when he
congratulated President Roosevelt for
standing on Democratic ground that
his own party was opposed to.
