THEY ARE WITH Us.

1t is gratifying to know that the bet
ter element of Hayti stands back of
the Hayti Herald in every stand it has
taken, and do not hesitate to rive it
their words of approval and en-
couragement in the contentious it has
made for the general good of the town,
and in proof of this, our subscription
list is growing all the time.
OF course we have said some things
that were unpleasant to us, but saving
such things we are careful to know
that we are right and that what We do
say is the voice of the people.
There are many things. however.
that have been left unsaid. and most
any person would say them, but as
such matters are unpleasant, We have
tried to select out those matters of the
greatest Importance in IA general way.
If We are cCnsurrd 10y the better clo-
ment it is because We have said So lit
tie. but we feel that We have said en-
ough. considering existing conditions.
The people owe it To themselves to
assert their own rights, and not to
wait for some one to fight their battles
for them, and We hope the better ele-
ment of Hayti will get together in har-
mony at the coming election, lay down
all personal feeling and strife, and
putting all politics and wet and dry"
aside, try to elect men who are broad
minded and public spirited and who
will go to work in earnest for the pro-
gress and general up-building of our
town.
If we can only get to work in har-
mony and all work together. we can
accomplish great good and we will all
be well repaid for our efforts.
Let's try just one time to break away
from the old, beaten path, and start
anew, and see how much better things
will be. 1t would he a pleasure to
put out paper in a town where all
the people are working together for
one purpose, and that for the general
welfare of the people.
We would rather praise than CEN
sure: we like to speak good words: we
desire to build up, boom and boost
the town, and hope these desires may
be rea liHed.

4 Diving BPIrSiOn.

Toronto Globe: Although the quest
for perpetual motion, in spite of the
known laws of dynamics. is confined
TO a few earnest but deluded seekers.
an equally futile quest for equally i'm
possible results against the known
laws of economies dominates the fiscal
system OF every civilized nation ex-
cept Britain.
But there are evidences IL many
quarters that the protection delusion
is dying if not in the light Of clearer
understanding, at least under the harsh
revelation Of experience. The presi-
dent of the German reichstag. address
ing the London chamber Of commerce.
declared in the presence of the Ger
man ambassador that he believed the
period of high protection was approach
ing its end. He cited the extreme sys-
tenn as exemplif1ed by Germany. France
and the United States. and said that it
would in time become insupportable.
Such words from so high a source
show that the faith which was once
so universally reposed in this eco
nomic delusion is weakening.
