A Frank Confession

The Chicago Inter Ocean, a republi-
can paper, in it's issue of October !,
printed an editorial from which the fol-
lowing is taken:
Judge Parker let out whOop at
Baltimore on Monday over the 500,
600 that the republican national com
mitlec received from the Standard Oil
company-and did not return-n the
Roosevelt campaign of 1904.
"As a matter of fact, the republican
campaign fund got 500, 900 from the
Standard Oil company, as in 1896 it got
500, 900 from the New York Life Insur.
ance company, and in 1904 $500, 900
from f.. II. Hartman. What of it?
The only questionable feature of
these transactions in that in 1904 the
country was given Mr. Hoosevelt's
word of honor that his campaign fund

The Merchants own Fault

Much has been written about the
subtle influences of the big four pound
catalogues sent broadcast over the land
by the houses located in the big cities
which, strange to say, refuse to sell
goods to the residents of the cities in
which they are located.
There is no mysterious element in
these bulky paper books, writes ID. NJ.
Carr in the Dwight (Ill.) Herald. From
cover to cover they are filled with pic
lures and with prices and descriptions
of goods. The power OF printer ink
is the only magnet. and this magnet
can be used by merchants everywhere.
The publishers of these great cata'
logues do business running well up to
ward the fifty million yearly. All
their success has been the ink they
use and the way they use it,
Because these concerns receive pat
ronage that should go to the home
merchant it is the home merchant S
fault, Mr.. Carr argues. The home
merchant neglects to do just what the
houses which publish the big cataloe ues
do. He may not have the money to
get out such great list, neither the
means of carrying great stocks OF
goods. Yet he possesses all the means
necessary to gain the trade that goes
to these great concerns. He can buy
goods just as low has less expense, and
while the big catalogue goes to Gus
toner only once in year or two,
through the medium of the local news.
paper the merchant can go to all the
people OF the community once week
and at the lowest expense.

a dangerous egitatOr. Many OF the by
inanciers of Wall street even admit
that Bryan is safer and far ADLER man
than Judge Taft. There is deep
undercurrert of public opinion in favor
of Bryan. The people are at last

lines, and all Indications point to IA
! Bryan landslide"
Mr.. George has been prominent
member of Tammany hall. Asked
concerning the organizations condi-
ion, he said
"Tammany is solid for Bryan. 1t
never was in such excellent lighting
shape. Even McCarren, with his 30,
600 to 30, 900 Brooklyn votes, has pledg-
ed the success of the democratic tick
t."
Mr.. George has Travelled extensivel!
throughout the world. He was for
merly newspaper man, and achieved
fame as war correspondent OF the
London Daily News, the New York
World and a syndicate of Canadian
papers in the Soudanese war. Mr..
George is friend of General Lord Kit

ton.

tive places | finally decided in favor

Mr.. George is a map of charming
individuality, a polished orator anc
lawyer and may be Communicated

cratic campaign. He rendered his ser

AS final word on politics, Mr.
George said: "There are only two

Hamilton party. When the people
who are really democrats realize the
meaning of these names the present
republican machine will go out of bust

INSULTING TO THE PEOPLE

WINAMAC, Ind, Oct. 2l.-The
Marbaugh Brothers, who do an
extensive hardware business at
Monterey, ten miles east of this
city, received on Monday printed
notice from the Sharpless Separator
Company, of Chester, Pa, that is
as follows:
The Sharpless Separator Com
pany's works, one of the largest
plants of its kind in the world, will
shut down in the event of election
of William J. Bryan.
1.-The possibility of such a dire
calamity to us as his Organ s.
election seems remote, but the hour
we are convinced such thing will
occur, or has occurred, these works
will have to close down.
TO this notice the Marbaugh
Brothers, of which there are five
brothers in that firm, sent to the
Sharpless Separator Company a
singing reply in the following
words:

Pa. Gentlemen: We received
your notice that you intend shut
ting down your factory after Nov
ember 8, in case Mr.. Bryan is cleo
ted. We feel from our republican
standpoint so certain and sure that
Mr.. Bryan will be elected that we
would advise your company tc
close down Immediately, as we will
at least make all effort to let the
democratic business hardware men
know that your company is very
unfair, and that YOU do not deserve
the trade coming from democratic
business men. We assure you that
this matter will have full attention
at the Business Mems Hardware
Convention, as we consider it an
insult to the American voters who
reserve the right to vote according
to their political convictions.
Yours respectfully,
MARBAUGH BROS. y
This letter comes from firm of
