FAR FROM SENSIBLE.

Here are two extracts from the last
speech of President William Mckinley
delivered in Buffalo in September 1901
on the day before his assassination.
These extracts are almost invariably
omitted when the speech is quoted by
the advocates gilmore foreign trade
by means of reciprocity in completing
products:
BY sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home produc-
ton we shall extend the outlets for
our increasing surplus.
We should take from our customers
such of their products as we can use
without harm TO our industries and
labor.
In a reciprocity" arrangement with
single European county, entered III
10 July 1, 1907, our purchases of
competing products have increased
nearly $6,0OO,OOO while our sales 10
that county in the month of August
just past actually decreased by nearly
$6O0,000,
Was this a sensible trade arrange
ment? Has il been carried out with
out harm 10 our industries and Ia
Dor?

Mr. Wilson breaches that gospel OF
good cheer and elevated ideas of good
citizenship, good government and The
square deal for every American citizen
He is a Republican good and true bu'
a Kentuckian 10 the manner born
Any man that speaks like Mr.. Wilson
is a true man. His utterances conc
from the heart, and they strike the
hearts of all true citizens. He doesn
appeal 10 the passions and prejudice
of the ignorant, but 10 the highest Or
der of manhood His home life, his
business life, his political life bear
out what he breaches on the stump.
He tells The truth about men and
things, and does ii in nice clean,
smooth way. His sentences are shor
sharp, severe, yet simple. He is re-
weren't and gentle in handling his ad-
versaries. He knows them and Their
ways like book. He doesn't hesi,ale
10 tell what he knows. 1t strikes
the average man and puts him o
thinking and makes him better citi-
zens with higher ideals of his govern
ment and his duly 10 his neighb0r
and his friend. Mr.. Wilson, here's
our hand, our heart and our vote

Hartford Herald and a few other
Journals" of its caliber. ii is common
knowledge that Mr.. Bryan has made
a. very handsome fortune during his
political career. How else did he make
it if he has not received pay for The
speeches he has made? AS matter
of fact everybody who has studied the
game of politics knows that Mr.. Bry-
an made his two days. speaking tour
in Kentucky last week at the expense
of the Democratic Campaign Commit
tee, in other words at the expense of
the Democratic party and its candi-
dates for office. The> hot-footed de-
malls from these various sources of
subsidized Democracy confirms rath-
er than refutes. The whole thing is
only a feeble attempt to bolster up
the waning cause of Democracy and
nobody will be fooled by these howls.

ferrous in condemning what they are
pleased to call Taylor's administra-
ton. Has it ever occurred 10 you that
Taylor had no administration? From
the time he was elected 10 the time
he went out of office he had not one
moment of peace and quiet in which
to administer anything. He was har-
assed and annoyed all the time which
ii will be remembered was only about
two months. First by an attempt to
get the election commissioners TO issue
a certificate of election to Goebel.
Failing in this a contest was inau-
gurated which required all of Taylor's
time and attention This contest re-
suited in cold theft of all the State
offices one of which Mr. Hager got,
and it comes with mighty poor grace
for those who were the beneficiaries
to indulge constantly in abuse of what
they are pleased to call his admins

PROTECTION DlDIT

More than Il hundred representa-
tives of textile industries of Europe arr
soon to be in the United States max
ing a tour of Inspection and study OF
our factories. They will be greeted
everywhere cordially and shown al
that is TO be seen of interest wherev-
er they travel. With its usual enter
prise, the Manufacturers Record,
the especial champion of Southern
industries, publishes an admirable
study of the resources and production
of the South in cotton, raw and manu-
featured.
Fortunately citizens in every part
of the republic are able to share 10
the full satisfaction of the Record
over the showing of what our own
country is doing in the way of max
ing up the raw material into goods
for shipment TO all parts of the world.
There was a time when only in an
Eastern State or two could cotton
factory be found. The fibre was sold
in Europe and the American consum-
er paid freight both ways, to and from
the foreign factory.
All that is a thing of the past. Once
the percentage of the chief staple that
was worked up in Southern factory
could be expressed by the sign OF
zero. In the last twenty-seven years
the investment of capital in that in
dustry in the South alone has reached
the figure of $250,0O0,0O0. The South
grows " per cent. of the cotton crop
of the world, nearly 100000 bales,
and uses in its local factories Is per
cent. of it's own growing. But the
figures attained now is to be counted
as coming in view of the immense
rapidity with which the South is ex-
banding its resources in mills and
spindles.
The Record also turns up spade
full of figures on the iron, coal and
grain interests of the South,with tose
of lumber and fruits thrown in for
good measure. The best of 1t is that
the story is entirely true and only
understated. For the South is illus
trating afresh that phenomenon of the
18th century which so forcibly struck
Burke and led him to remark that the
seemingly widest predictions of Amer
lean expansion were overpassed by
the fact while the prophet was making
them.-Buffalo News.

The Hartford Herald wants us 10
join with it in a request to Hon. b.
d. Ringo, Commonwealth Attorney
in this district, TO instruct the next
grand jury to Investigate all viola
lions of the election laws, especially
the use of money and buying votes,
etc" This is Mr.. Ringo's duty, with
out any invitation from us or the Her
aid. Mr.. Ringo. being an excellent
lawyer, and knowing his duty, we pre-
sumo will perform it. Don't try to
make your readers believe that we
are in favor of debauching elections,
because we did not join with you
in insulting the District Attorney.
If we belonged to the party which
stole the State election in 1899 and
debauched the city election in Lou
isville in 1905 TO such an extent that
the Court of Appeals declared it void,
we would be a little careful about
suggesting that Republicans are in
favor of such things.

Candidate Hager says his party's
record Is his platform all of which he
Endorses. We wish to pause long
enough to ask the voters Of Ohio
county If they can vote for man
who Endorses the action of the 1906
Democratic Legislature which passed
the license tax law, which compells,
each auctioneer to pay $500 for the
privilege, a bill poster $1,000, opera
tor of a hack line $1,000, owner OF
ice factory $1,000. operator of merry
go-round $1,000 Photographers, $500,
owner of restaurant, $500, real estate
agents $1,000, sewing machine agents
$500, owner of soda fountain $500,
owner of skating rink $500, vender
of spectacles $1,000, vender of stoves
or ranges $4,000. Last but not least,
can you vote for 2 man who indorses
the Infamous dog-tax law which was
fastened upon the people of Kentucky
by a Democratic Legislature and APP
proved by Democratic Governor?

MACHINE AT FRANKFORT.

There is machine at Frankfort,
self styled the Democratic party; but
it is our contention that It's policies
and principles are not Democratic;
that it does not represent nor reflect
the principles and policies which the
Democratic party in Kentucky be-
lieve; and in this canvass | will show
you that ii does not act like a DEM
ocrat, however much it may talk like
a Democrat, and that in fact, 1t is
not a Democrat.
Reader, the above is not from a Re-
publican, but from Attorney General
Hayes, Democrat.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1907-10-18

The Hartford Herald in effect says
we wilfully prevaricated when we
quoted Hager as saying in his recent
speech at Maysville: Il am DEM
ocrat and if the Democratic party is
for whisky | am for il, and if it is
against whisky | am against it," We
wish 10 reiterate and emphasize the
statement and in reply TO the Herald
we wish to state that we have 1t on
better authority than its campaign
utterances that Mr.. Hager made the
statement which we quoted. 1t is a
fact too that Mr.. Hager has strad-
died the liquor question in many of
his speeches. Where Temperance SEN
timent is strong he talks temperance
and where liquor interests predomi-
nate he talks liquor and supports
booze candidates.

All during the present State cam
paign the Democratic speakers and
papers have stopped over" about The
immense school fund, which they say
they have provided during their adj
ministration of the State government
and also about the State being out
of debt, as a result of their economy.
We were prepared 10 take all this
with a grain of salt, but presume
some persons have been fooled by
this "clap-uap." With all this mon
ey at their command for school pur-
poses etc, one would suppose that
they met every demand on the spot
However, when The Ohio county school
teachers received their money last
Saturday, it was not by reason of
any special effort on the part of the
officials at Frankfort, but through
the courtesy of a local bank, which
furnished the money without interest,
until the State warrant should arrive,
which was almost week late. Yet
they are making frantic appeals 10
The school teachers of the State 10
help them out in their distress. They
deserve nothing but condemnation and
defeat at the hands of the school
teachers. If there is class of our
citizens for whom they have done
less, we would like to be shown, and
this is putting it strong.

Some one writing in the interest
of Mr.. Tom Wallace's candidacy for
Jailer, in late edition of The Hart
ford Herald, would have people believe
that he is the only man who ever
made a good poor house keeper. He
uses the most eXtravagant language.
He made the poor farm 10 blossom
like a rose," being a fair sample. AL
so, we are told by this knowing one
that Uncle Tom," out of his own
pocket, paid the ministers for preach
ing the gospel to the inmates. All
of this increases the deep grief of The
Herald over his removal by a Repub-
lican court. The truth is that there
have been just as many roses grow
ing on the poor farm under the adj
ministrations of Stevens and Black,
as under Uncle Tom" Again, by
referring to the claim book of the
Ohio County Court, we find that dur
ing Mr.. Wallace's incumbency of the
poor house the preachers were paid
by the tax payers of Ohio county
through the Fiscal Court, instead OF
coming out of the pockets of Mr.. Wal
lace. Now, during his term as poor
house keeper, Mr.. Wallace also held
another office-that of member OF
the Ohio County Board of Supervis-
ors, ''or tax raisers." He still held
these two offices, contrary to the State
Statutes, when the Republicans came
into power, and in obedience to the
law, they very properly relieved him
of one of them.

Companies $4,000, 900.
Earnings Over Operating Expenses
$32,465, ooo-After Paying Interest
and Dividends $12,0o0,00o.

New York, May 10.-At the meeting
Of the board Of directors Of the Union
Pacific company Thursday the chair
man submitted q statement showing
the estimated earnings over operating
expenses for the year ending June
30, 1907, to be $S2.465,OOO. Deducting
from this the interest on the funded
debt, $S,654,000, sinking fund require
ments $1,200.000; interest on loans
$4,000 and on other expenses $27,.
00O, would leave surplus Of approx.
lmately $S2,soO,OOO.
The statement continues:
"In addition to the above income
the company will receive interest and
dividends other than from invest
ment securities s12,S2a,OOO; rental Of
steamships s244,00O. which will bring
the total income Of the company up
to say s36,S24,00O."
Mr.. Hartman stated that 1t was
his belief that the actual returns
would be greater rather than less
than the estimated figures as they
have been made up on very conser-
vative lines. After paying the divi-
dend on the preferred stock, $4,000
900, and the dividend on the common
stock, s20,00O.000, there would be
something over S12,0OO,OOO and above
all requirements Of every kind.
