Condition that Existed In the
Land Of Plenty Those Years
WHAT CAUSED THIS CONDITION
The United States is on the eve of

Free Trade vs Protection

The United States is on the eve Of
a contest within herself Of
Free Trade VS. Protection.
For the benefit Of the sober hard
working farmers of Crittenden and
adjoining counties, we ask do you want
to return TO the last era Of Democratic
rule from 1893 to 1897? Do you re-
member those years? If you do not,
refresh your memories. Why should
you be for protection or against pro-
lection?
Who said tweedle-dee? Who said
tweedle-dum? Do we need protection
or do we not need protection?
To the average man the observation
Of Josiah Frank Fritts would be very
appropriate. Mr. Fritts made a few
vigorous remarks to our friend and
fellow citizen, Charles Eugene Doss,
and everybody in the first district
knows what il was.
But Mr.. Average man cannot shift
this responsibility. He will vote one
way or the other.
Listen at the words of Senator Vest
speaking in the United States Senate
May 25, 1897.
No more consistent and courageous
Democrat in the Senate at that time
than Vest Of Missouri.
For himself and his Democratic
colleagues, he said:
I'VE fully appreciate the desperate
condition Of the country. We know
how many ruined homes, how many
broken hearts, how many blasted
hopes. now surround the Congress of
the United States, and il prosperity
can come from any source, even from
our political opponents, we shall well
come Il; and not only welcome it. but
bless the moment in which il comes. ="
What caused this desperate CON
dition? Was II the effort 10 roo the
country Of its protective tariff?
Senator Vest continued:
"My State is large agricultural
State-one Of the largest in the Union.
In my life, now verging upon three
score years and ten, ! have never
seen in that land Of plenty such ruin
and depression as exists today"
Did prosperity return under Repub-
lcan rulel

ed July 9th. 1897
There comes on the wind from
every section Of the country the wall
Of an impoverished people.
Listen TO Kentucky son, Mr..
David Highbaugh Smith, who said on
March 3lst, 1897
"Stagnation and depression rule with
despotic sway in every department Of
business life Able, enterprising and
cautious men have been swept into the
vortex Of hopeless and irretrievable
insolvency. Want and penury are
visible in the faces Of countless thous.
ands, who wander up and down the
streets Of the great metropolitan cities
in search Of employment that cannot
be had at any price, and in number
less homes, erstwhile radiant with the
glow Of success and eontentment.
there is now the somber hues Of dis.
contentment and restitution. "

SERVICE At MOUNDS SUNDAY
The Rev. Charles Young, Of Memphis
Filled The Pulpit al The Baptist
Church Sunday Evening
PLANS FOR new CHURCH ACCEPTED

Rev. j. II. Butler filled the pulpit at
the Baptist church Sunday morning.
He used as his text Nehemiah 2.i7-ls.
Then said ! unto them, ye see the dis
tress that we are in. how Jerusalem
lieth waste, and the gates thereof are
burned by fire. Come. and let us build
up the walls Of Jerusalem, that we be
no more a reproach. Then | told them
Of the hand Of my God which was good
upon me; as also the Kings words that
had spoked unto me and they said,
Let US rise up and build SO they
strengthened their hands for this good
work"
His subject. Building Of the Walls
Of Jerusalem" was divided into four
thoughts:
/. Preparation for the work.
2. Work begun.
3. Work carried on.
T. Work completed.
He preached n good sermon.
There will be services next Sunday
morning and evening.
Sunday school at $3.50 O'Clock.
$50
The sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning was on the
first question in the catechism. What
Is the chief end Of man? The scrip,ur.
al text was taken from ! Cor. 1881.
Whatsoever ye do. do all to the glory
Of God. D" Mans chief end is 10 glorify
God and enjoy him forever Some pco-
pie cannot give good excuse Tor the
purpose of their living upon earth. This
teaches Us the true principle Of lie
and those who fall short Of this idea
miss the high work which God has set
for their aim in life. The subject falls
into three divisions. Man lives Tor the
future life Man must glorify tod.
The glory Of God mans chief end.
