"The Democratic party holds the
record as the spendthrift of nations
for over half century. The sum of
S35, 10000 has been appropriated for
government railway in Alaska; $25,
100000 will he asked to console Co
lombia her failure to blockade the
construction OF the Panama canal
unless her rapacity and insolence
were satisfied; $10,00O,000 increase
in salaries and creation of new offices
and 500, 100000 increase over that
the last Republican appropriation tes-
,tify TO faithful endeavors for economy
and civil service reform; $4,000, 600
for government steamship line

Gratis can point with pride or view
with alarm as they may chance to be
frugal or liberal in their DISPOSE
tions.
This tariff law opened our fields
to the freelisted animals, grains and
manufacturers of the world. Its i'm
mediate result is seen in an influx of
animal diseases and insect pests, in
increased imports, decreased exports,
diminished revenue, stagnation and
distress instigated only by the hor-
rors of the European war.

what does the Republican party
offer? Why should it be returned to
power? II will restore the protective
tariff. Confidence will follow and the
army of the unemployed will dis
perse. Business will again move in
its accustomed channels and enter
prise no longer halt by the wayside.
Great corporations necessary in
modern affairs will be regulated and
given the equal protection of the law.
Monopolies will not prey upon the
public but will be converted into
beneficial enterprises obedient to wise
antitrust laws that will make certain
what can rightfully be done. Ger
tainty will be substituted for con-
fusion and business will not be under
suspicion. Success will not be re-
garded as a badge of rascality and
bankruptcy as the only conclusive
presumption of virtue. Railways will
not be condemned to perform as un'
reauited service and the financial
life of the great banning interests
of the country shall not be subject
to the arbitrary will of single Of
fetal.
Social justice will be wrought out
in fairness. The wOrkingman's right:
after a payroll gives him a chance t.
earn a living will be safeguarded b,
progressive laws. A return Of pros
perity under the Republican part!
will insure employment under suct
terms and conditions as will secure
, hem their share of that prosperity.
