War to the bitter end between
the standpat element and the in
surgents of the Republican party is
to be waged in the coming cam
paign if the prohigh tariff speech
of Vice President James S. Sher-
man before the Citizens Industrial
association of St. Louis at the Ode
on Monday night. is a criterion of
the administrations program in the
approaching contest. Mr.. Sherman
praised the Payne-Aldrich law,
which he sought to show by an ar
ray of figures was beneficial rather
than detrimental to the country'S
business interests. He even said
when another revision should be
made that the tariff should again
be upward in every essential. The
arrogance with which the repreSen-
tatives of wealth make their de-
mands is indeed appalling.-Macon

An Upland County.

Show me the sheen of the daisy
dyed upland,
Shimmering distances hill upon
HILL
Lead me away through the lazy old
woodland,
Down to the soft-spoken wheel
of the mill.
Let me lie out where the locust is
thrilling,
Deep in the bracken that borders
the lane;
Watching the thistle-down squad
rons a-drilling,
Over. far reaches of undulate
grain.
Send me the scent of broad acres of
clover,
Meadows arock with the mirth of
the noon;
Down in the sedges the plant of
the plOver,
Adrift on the perfume oh, grant
me this boon!
Take, if you will, of the winter its
bounty,
Yuletide and hearthside, sleigh
bells and snow.
Give me one day in this summer
land county,
Adream in the fields where the
cornf1owerS blow.

Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
scrub" steer and a pure bred
steer, Pure bred corn will produce
a much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
Mt Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free a quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed
er is a big monthly and costs only
SOC per year. 1t is published in the
home of MiSsouri's great Agricul-
tural College and every issue is full
of articles by Agricultural experts
on the raising of all kinds of Farm
Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live
Stock, Dairying, Fruit Growing
Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising
and every other farm subject. Any
single issue is worth the price
Every ounce of this seed corn will
be tested by seed experts before it
is sent out. You can have either a
yellow or white variety. This ad-
vertisement is appearing in hun
dreds of newspapers and our sup
Iply of seed will soon be exhausted.
So send or leave your subscription
at once at the Office of the Monroe
City Democrat, which will forward
it to us. If

God is ready to forgive, no matter

Gods mercy is always far beyond

Gods forgiveness is freely given, and

IMPoRTATlONs OF NON UNION

CONTRACTOR AGREES TO
EMPLOY UNION MECHANICS
Four Nom Union Men Who Are
Brought Here From Red Wing,
Mimi, Join Local Union, and Other
Employees viii Be Secured Here -
Settlement of Impending Difficulties.

A threatened strike Of union mechan-
les at work on the new Masonic tenn
pie was amicably settled this forenoon
between a committee representing the
Marshalltown Building Trades Council
and G. 8. Fisk. of Red Wing, Mimi,
who has the painting contract The
union men, four plumbers and fourteen
carpenters threatened to quit work I'M
less Fisk would agree to employ union
painters on the job
Fisk brought to the city from his
home town four non-unien painters
who were put to work On interior dec
Grating Wednesday. When it was found
that the men did not hold cards the un-
ion mechanics at work On the building,
Immediately informed The local build
ing trades council, and committee
composed of c. L. Diffenbacher Of the
plumbers and steamf1tters; George Pat
ton. OF the carpenters; and F. A Gun
ningham. of the painters, was appoint
ed to confer with the contractor.
Agreement is Reached.
After Q session lasting over two
hours a signed agreement was reached
between the committee and the con-
tractor Which does away with the pos
sibility of strike. The committee re-
quested that the contractor employ
only union men, and that he give pref
erence to local mechanics, in order that
the wages paid OUT for the painting
would stay in Marshalltown. The four
painters brought here from Red Wing
signed up and became members OF the
local painters, pa perlangers and dec
orators union, IS did Fisk himself, and
Mr. Fisk agreed that should he need
more men on the work he would employ
them here if possible. The committee
assured Mr.. Fisk that it would see that
the men were availa bic when needed.
The committee estimated that there
would be work for about twenty paint
ers on the job, and that the work
would last about three months.
