seventy years the Democratic party
has never had control of our govern
ment without:
l. Reducing the employment of the
country one-half
2. Reducing the wages of the work
ers one-half.
8. Destroying the industries of the
country one-half.
4. Reducing the price of farm prod
ucts below cost of production.
5. Bankrupting one-half of the COM
mercial community.
s. Reducing the credit of the, states
and nation away below par.
The article states that the figures
to prove the above dreaded catas-
trophies can be found in the records
Of the panics of 1885 to 1912. 1913 to
1852, 1857 to 1851, 1898 to 1897, and
each one of these panics cost the PEG,
pie more money than 1t cost to put
down the rebellion of the SOS.

YOUNG MAN, WHICH TICKET
ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE?

Next Tuesday, thousands of young
men will cast their first ballot. Many
others who have voted in state and
city elections. will cast their first bal
; lot for president.
These men should be guided
in their decision as to which party
they affiliate themselves with by the
acts and deeds and performances OF
the different parties. If they will
istudy the past record OF the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, IT will
not take them long to learn that the
Republican party is the party Of con-
struction and the Democratic party
the party of opposition and fault flnd
ing. The Republican party builds, Gre
ates and expands business and oppor
B tunities. It puts into operation and ac
ton policies that give the man who
wants to, the opportunity to work.
1t puts the factories and mills into
operation and gives the farmer q
!, home market for his produce.
The Republican party continuously
tries to create a better and bigger
home market for the farmer and for
the whole country prospers. After the
Is Democratic administration, 1s931Ss6,
The Republican party under President
Mckinley took up the management of
very dilapidated country. The labor
ers of the foreign countries had been
making the products consumed in
America and American laboring men
had practically been out of job for
four years Americans had not been
able to buy the products the farmer
ers raised and there was scarcely any
work Of any kind in this country for
any one. Corn was worth 16 cents per
hushel, wheat 35 cents per bushel,
oats 10 cents per bushel, hogs $3.50
per hundred and you could not slip
up on man and make him take 4
sheep
President Mckinley took hold OF
the government, and Republican
congress as soon as it could possibly
do it, made the Dingley bill law
President Mckinley said, "We do not
want to open the minis to the world
but We do want to open the American
factories to the American working
men. The factories were open
ed, fires built in the furnaces, the
machinery again started in motion
the American workingmen became EN-
ployed, they began to consume the
product from the American farmers

men were put to work, the farme,

lucky, the nominee of the sound mon
ey Democrats in 1896, has declared
that he will support Taft in the COM

of Bryan as follows:
at seems that in his whole politi-
cal career he has been fitting from
place to place, flashing in every direc-
ton a sort OF jack.o-lantern as bea-
con light to attract to his support nu-
merous political bands wandering
through wilderness of error, each in
pursuit of his own special will o. the
wisp, each straying farther than the
other from the plain highway of De-
mocracy and having but one purpose
in common-the overthrow OF the
existing order Of society and the cree.
ton upon it's ruins Of governmental
fabric which, il constructed, must in.
evitably crunble under the mutually
repellent action Of it's own discordant
elements, leaving behind only nihil.

Their big pile ofready cash could take
advantage Of the man who owed on his

Workingmen, business men, profess
sional men-every man who has to
work for living-is vitality interest
ed in the continuation of prosperity.
1t will be admitted that prosperity is
based largely OH confidence, on faith
in the future. There must be conf
dence in settled policy OF govern
ment. Now il Bryan should happen
TO be elected and should happen to
get the support OF Democratic house
he would be continually attempting to
get legislation through the senate and
would be preaching to the country all
the time, keeping the country uneasy
as to what might possibly happen, and
the result would be business disaster
