THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

not a drug at all. but simply absorbs

The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1908-04-04
Written by Republicans.

The truth Of history demonstrates
that the great organization, the great
power that saved the Union, was the
Republican organization. | remember
few years ago when my genial friend
from Ohio, James X. Campbell, was a
member Of the house he took the floor
to prove that there was no Republican
party In 1854, when Lincoln was re-
elected, and he brought In copy of
the Tribune Almanac which showed
that the votes for Lincoln were given
under the caption Of "Unlon Republic
ans" and, he claimed, showed there
was no Republican party. The argu-
ment Of my colleague the other day
brought back the fanciful argument of
James q. Campbell, l think, way back
In the Forty ninth congress. The Re-
publican party In behalf Of Abraham
Lincoln appealed to the Union men In
the United States to strike down that
party, which In their platform declared
the war failure. Mr.. Chairman, from
the sixties down who can name an i'm
portant piece Of legislation for the good
Of the people Of the United States that
was not written on the statute books
by the Republican party Congress

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Established and Developed by the Re-
publican Party.

publican Party.
The annual report of the Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General DeGraw
deals chiefly with the rural free deliv-
cry service, and the postal appropria-
ton bill shows how that service has
developed in recent years under the
Republican party.
Nothing so well illustrates, perhaps,
the character of the two predominant
parties in the United States as does
the development of this rural free de-
livery system. Year after year 1t was
turned down" by Democratic ad-
ministration as behg impracticable,
and yet under the operation of Repub-
lican administrations it has developed
in every way successfully and most
advantageously to the agriculturists Of
the country. Where only a few years
ago most of our farmers were able to
get their mail but once or twice
week it is now daily brought to their
very doors, giving them the advantage
of the daily paper and of market and
weather reports, enhancing not only
labor, but the pleasure of living.
The system itself needs no defense.
The result of Its working is its own
vindication, and the farmers Of the
country are indebted wholly to the Re-
publican party, which had the courage
as well as the sense to put the system
into practical operation and constant
development.
During the coming year it will re-
quire an appropriation in excess of
$35,000,000 to carry on the service.
There are nearly 10000 routes in oper-
alton, and some 100000 people en-
Joy It's benefits. On less than 1000 Of
the routes service Is performed tri-
weekly. On nearly all Of the remain
haps no Republican legislation of re-
cent years that has carried so great
benefit to so many of our people. OF
course it is exceeded by the pension
legislation, established and developed
by the party, but that has been mat
ter covering over forty years, while
the rural free delivery service has
been In operation only ten years.
There Is no doubt that it will be
developed still further as requirements
demand, and so long as the Republican
party remains in power the rural dis
tricts of the country can be sure of
having their mail delivered at their
doors, and it is possible that In the
near future this mail, consisting of let
tiers and papers, may be augmented by
! the delivery Of parcels and miscel-
laneous matter, so that the farmer will
not only have his mail, but his pur-
chases, brought to his home.

That Handy SurpIua.

Silly free trade writer's are harping
on the treasury surplus as one Of the
causes Of the existing situation. They
never stop to think that because Of this
very surplus the government was able
to rush $25,O00,000 Of currency to the
relief of banks which would otherwise
have been compelled to suspend pay
ment and close their doors. That treas
ury surplus has proved an anchor OF
safety, q fortress Of financial strength.
The government had no surplus with
which to help out the banks in the
free trade regime of 1887. 1t was
instead issuing bonds to the extent Of
$500 100000 to cover treasury deficits

handy things to have.

Born of Republican Parents.

A new order Of things is established
in the land. The people are aroused to
their rights, and neither the schemes
Of the vicious nor the tricks Of the
demagogue will avail to deceive them.
More than ever before they are de-
handing Of their legislators-municipal,
state and Acknowledgement, fearless and
patriotic service. We must not and
will not be deferred by the evil prophe-
cies Of lawbreakers.
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion Of the law.
The act of 1906 and the enforcement
Of law against public malefactors have
not impaired and will not impair the
general prosperity, but will contribute
to permanent justice and equality. The
policies Of the present administration
were conceived In patriotism and born
of Republican parents. - Congressman

DANGER OF BRYANISM.
Disseminated Elements a Menace TO
Our Institutions.

Our Institutions.
Republican campaign provision can
not safely stop with the Democratic
party's defined strength or with count
of the states which Mr. Bryan did not
carry In his two presidential efforts.
This year there Is q difference which
weakens the force Of old figuring. All
the discontinued elements, all the
loosely attached elements and all the
Republican stay at home elements are
to be considered as possible Democrats.
1t Is not to be forgotten that each Of
the Bryan propositions, however CHI
merlcal 1t may be In the Judgment of
the we'll Informed, has certain attrac-
ton for voting masses and has been
advanced with a not wholly illusioned
view to that practical, if temporary,
political effect. Popular faith in set
tied forms and principles Of govern
sluggish industry No man is able to
prophesy how far even sreenbackism
will be accepted by the spirit Of ANY
thing for a chance which will be pres
ent during the coming campaign.
Mr.. Watterson has lately quoted a
remark Of John G. Carlisle made just
before Bryan returned from Europe a
year ago. 1t was, "Mr. Bryan has no
more idea of the responsibilities of gov
eminent than q child" Literally Mr..
