Just Now Be Profitable.

The last time the Democrats were
in power in the United States they
carried out their Free Trade threat
and put wool on the free list. The
sheep industry of America was de-
stroyed, wool sold for ten cents a
pound and farmers took what they
could get for their sheep. A dollar a
head was the top price. And yet
no man. woman or child got yard
Of woolen cloth or a suit Of woolen
clothes penny cheaper. The effect
of free wool was destruction, that's
all. The farmers Of Missouri, and
every other sheep-raising state. lost
millions of dollars and nobody re-
ceived any benefit One of the Demo
Gratis who helped bring about that
disaster of fifteen years ago was

He Is a Republican.

Congressman Charles N. Fowler. OF

has issued statement in which he
says that he cheerfully acquiesces in
the peoples action. Il am Repub-
lican." he says. Indeed. allow no
man to go before me in loyal devo-
ton to the fundamental principles OF
the Republican party: and therefore
I shall continue to fight for those prin-
ciples In the future as In the past

party"

ton now is. as President Taft puts II.
whether we shall have In the national
house OF representatives a Republican
or n Democratic majority. Principles
are greater than men. To uphold Re
publican principles. all Republicans
must subordinate individual opinions
and work together. That sort OF nc
