PROTECTION breeds prosperity, and prosperity revenue.
TIIE more manufactured goods we make at home, the more we are able to buy abroad.
GIVE the country ample protection and prosperity $nd revenue will follow as matters of course.
TIIE men most talked of for VicePresident with McKinley are Hobart, of New Jersey, and Evans, of Tennessee.
JUDGE R. W. MEIKS, of Bloomington, has been nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Second district on a free coinage 1G to 1 platform.
EVEN Matthews is kicking on IUB presence of Tillman in this State. But in what manner is he to be kept out? The Governor should call out the milita.
IN 1S92 there were imported into thiB country 373,169 pounds of shoddy. In 1395 under the Gorman law the importations of shoddy increased to 20,71S,10E pounds.
Boss PT.ATT threatens to walk out of the St. Louis convention under certain contingencies. Once upon a time he walked out of the United States Senate and has never been able to get back.
THE official vote in Oregon shows that the Republican candidate for Judge received 35,388 Democratic, 16,94 Populist, 23,371, or about 12,000 plurality. This will be about the plurality McKinley will receive in November.
THERE seems to be nothing left of the Democratic party but its debts. In the articles of agreement between it and the Populist party nothing is stated whereby the latter shall assume the obligations it left behind. These debts will be assumed and paid off by the Republican party.
THE same old lot that yelled for greenbacks by thei. billion and a satur" nalia of speculation, are now just as ]pud for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. They seem to favor anything that smacks of repudiation. They will fool no more people now than they did then.
WHENEVER American mills, mines, and factories are running on full time and the operators are receiving high wages, there is a strong demand for farm products at fair prices, and when money is really plentiful in the pockets of farmers, workmen, manufacturers, and traders, there is a surplus that is expended upon foreign luxuries that pay tariff duties.
t'
THE sixteen to one-ers say Mexico is prosperous on a silver basis. So it is— ior Mexico. But how would our people like a prosperity which means 25 cents a day for labor? You can have Mexican prosperity here at any time you are willing to accept the wages of Mexico. We suspect when it comes to that point our wage earners will kick.
WOOL prices are still on the decline, the average of 104 quotations in New York being 12.92. Since May 1 the decline has been over a half a cent, and since the defeat of the emergency tariff bill the average has fallen almost 2 cents for all qualities. Five years ago the same quotations averaged 24 79 cents, so that the fall has been 11.87 cents.
THIS is the juicy way the Democratic Louisville Times refers to the growth of the silver sentiment within the party of Kentucky: "White money candi dates for Congress are springing up all over the State as thickly as jimtown weeds in a cow lot, but owing to the wet days and cold nights they are a trifle pale in the gills and spindling as to their underpinning."
PERU Republican: "A good point made by Mr. Bynum in his address was that 'the money in the banks is the property of the depositors and not of the bank, hence when you depreciate the currency it is not the bank you are robbing, but the people.' What better is it to rob a man this way than to slug him on the street and take half his money. These free coinage howlers are always cursing the banks and in
IN answer to a question whether the steppage of unlimited coinage has or has not contracted the currency of the country, the Chicago Times-Herald replies: "In 1S72 the currency of the country made a total of 8738,309,54P. In 1S95 the currency in circulation was SI,604,131,96s. In 1S72 the currency circulation per capita was SIS 19. In 1S95 the currency circulation per capita was §22.96 The figures answer the the question. Abolish our present gold standard, under which expansion on a basis of sound money has been accomplished, and a law, whose operation is as inevitable as that of the tides of the sea, will come into operation. Make silver the standard, and the gold will quit the country. The amount of gold in circulation last year was 5469,834, 062. Take this vast sum, intrinsically worth its face value, out of the volume of American money and it will be seen that unlimited coiuage of silver, which means substituting the silver standard for the present gold standard would inflict upon American commerce and production a blow from which its victims would not recover in a generation."
THE JOURNAL has been handed a copy of the London News of the World, Of May 31, by George R, Rice, Thq Sentiment toward McKinley and MciKinleyism may be seen by the following, clipped from its editorial columns:
From presence appearances it is more than probable that Mr. McKinley will be the next President of the United States. Mr. Cleveland, never very popular, has lost much ground of late and the citizens who lost heavily over his Jingoiotic message about Venezuella, in consequence of the depreciation of stock which it brought about, are now
workiDg
hard against
him. He may, of course, be able to turn the tide, but judging from the election of the delegates to vote in the convention McKinley is very much in the ascendant. The Democrats, unassisted by Mr. Cleveland, seem quite helpless, and they are taking a mournful view of the sittiotion. The news is not good for us on this side. The elevation of Mr. McKinley to the White House would mean a severe dose of protection all round. Higher tariffs probably than those which he proposed in his bill of 1S90 would be imposed and British trade would suffer grievously. The outlook, is far pleasant.
IN November, 1S92, the people, misled by Democrats and mugwumps, who falsified facts and figures as never before had they been falsified, voted for "a change." On the 6th of December, 1892, Mr. Harrison, then near the close of his Presidential term, thus reviewed the actual condition of the country under the operation of the McKinley tariff:
There never has been a'time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were so high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life. If any believe that wages or prices,the returns for honest toil, are inadequate they should not fail to remember that there is no other country in the world where the conditions that seem to them hard would not be accepted as highly prosperous. The English agriculturist would be glad to exchange the returns of his labor for those of the American farmer, and the Manchester workmen their wages for those of their fellows at Fall River.
THE first session of the Fifty-fourth Congress came to an end Thursday, the shortest long session on record for many, many years. It has not been a fruitful or exceedingly profitable one in respect to general legislation, although an unusually large number of mportant measures have passed the committee stage, especially in the House of Representatives, and many of them have also passed that body. The causes which have prevented the writing of these and other measures in the statute book are understood by all intelligent persons. The Senate has been controlled, not by party majority, but by a combination of Democrats and Populists, which has steadily resisted the passage and even the consideration of bills which were almost universally regarded as of prime importance and necessity, and has virtually been in a state of legislative paralysis.
THE prospect that William. McKinley will be the next President of the United States gives the English newspapers the cold shivers. The Bradford Daily Telegraph of May 21 thus refers to the trade outlook for that city: "In the local trade the attention of nsiness men is anxiously directed toward the American market. Mr. McKinley's wonderful popularity with his party stamps him as the strongest candidate for the Presidency, and it is not too early to consider the probable result in the case of his election to the White House. In the opinion of business men a victory would inevitably be followed by further tariff legisla tion in an upward direction, a course of procedure which would have the most serious results for a time on the Bradford trade."
order to stir up hatred accuse them of. parisons are instituted that SSO.OOOjGOO robbing the people." of this is for sinking fund and $30,500,-
THE appropriations made by the first session of the Fifty-fourth Con' gress aggregate 8515,759,820.49, which is $13,374,373.43 less than the estimates submitted to Congress by the President. The total of appropria tions authorized by the last session was S497,008,520, showing a net increase for this session of 818,751,299. It must be borne in mind when corn-
000 for interest on the public debt. The increase in the principal of the interest bearing debt on account of loans negotiated to meet deficiencies caused by the Wilson-Gorman tariff act was §262,315,400, which entails an annual interest charge of S31,492,616. During the administration of President Harrison the principal of the interest bearing debt was reduced in amount S25S, 192,900 and the annual intesest charge was thereby diminished §10,327,710.
PERU Republican: The only difference between the fiat money proposed by the late Greenback party and the fiat money proposed by the free coinage party is that the latter has fifty cents in silver and fifty cents in fiat, whereas the former was all fiat. No wonder all the old greenback hacks are in the fifty cent dollar party. Had they had their way twelve years ago our money would have been as worthless as that of Southern confederacy is to-day.
NEW YORK Tribune: The funnelshaped cloud which blackens anil whirls over the Democratic party evidently has a silver lining, but it is nevertheless, a bringer of doom and will string the debris of that organization along the Qorridpr^ of history like a Kansas rail fence in a cyclone.
The Maxnell Kevlval.
Sunday was the closing day of the Mace union revival meeting under the leadership of Harry L. Maxwell. As was expected it was the great day of this great meeting. The oldest Christians had never before witnessed such an awakening in this community. From sixty to eighty or a hundred made profession of Christ, and the good influence has been felt by the hundreds who have attended -from miles around. About one thousand were present at night. Brother and Sister Maxwell will be long and gratefully remembered for their sweet singing and Christian spirit and earnest labors.
Marred By Accidents.
The ball game Saturday between Blackburn Univeisity and Waoash resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 7 to 6. The game was marred by two accidents, one of a very serious character. Howard Ball, silting on the bleachers, was struck on the head by a thrown ball and fainted four or five times before he could be taken to his room. In the eighth inning Ed Mulroney, Wabash's second baseman, stepped to the bat and was struck on the base of the skull by a ball swiftly thrown by Blackburn's pitcher. He dropped unconscious and was carried off the field on a stretcher. He suffered concussion of the brain and is confined to his bed.

JUDGE JOHN H. BURFORD.
HIB Retirement From the Bench—Kind Words From the liar antl .Press.
The Oklahoma papers have the following to say of the retirement, of Judge John H. Burford, of El Reno. The Judge has certainly been popular and efficient:
El Reno News: Wednesday Judge Burford received a telegram notifying him that ex-Representative Tarsney.of Missouri, had been appointed as his successor. Judge Burford's removal will be generally regretted. He has been longer on the bench than any member of the Oklahoma supreme court is the only one of the present incumbents whose official character has never been impeached. Although a Republican he has been permitted to hold bis position during the entire term for which he was appointed, and candidates seeking his place have found the Democratic officials at Washington reluctant to appoint his successor. The bar of El Reno, will, regardless of politics, regret Judge Burford's removal. They recognize in him a just judge and a true man. Judge Tarsney may consider himself indeed fortunate if at the end of four years he shall have as many friends and as few enemies as Judge Burford.
El Reno Evening Star: The territorial supreme court convened on Friday morning last, in regular session. Present: Chief Justice Dale, and Associate Justices Bierer, Scott, Burford and McAtee.
On the retirement of Associate Justice Burford, Chief Justice Dale, for the court, delivered a high tribute to his worth and services, as follows: •Per Curiam. Now at this time it appearing that John H. Burford, associate justice of this court, is about to sever his connection with this body, and the remaining judges of said court desiring to record their appreciation of his services upon the bench, and their high personal regard for him as an individual with whom we have long sustained intimate personal and official relations, say: 'That in retirement of Judge Burford, this territory has lost the services of a jurist whose sole object has been to exalt justice, and who has exhibited in his work upon the bench his eminent fitness for the position which he has occupied.
We know that while the records of the court of this territory shall last, the reputation of our associate for wisdom, courage and fidelity to the 1rust assumed is secure. We feel that the people generally in Oklahoma have at all times relied upon his judicial fairness and integrity with unqualified confidence and we say to all that such confidence has been well and properly bestowed. In all his acts with unfaltering hand he has penned the lines from which the truth shines forth with radiance. No dross appears to blind the eye. No cloud obscures to dim the light, but quick and true to wisdom wings the arrow Hies, reveals the truth and error dies. "We extend to our associate and friend the hearty wish that he will find in the ranks of the profession that pleasure and success ior which bis distinguished character and ability so amply qualify him. "At the conclusion of the reading of this tribute. Judge Burford stepped from the bench, and in a most appropriate and feeling manner, made acknowledgment of the kindly expressions of the court, and administered the oath of office to Associate Justice T.rsney who immediately entered upon the performance of his judicial duties. ..

What Mrs. I. E. Bressie Says to W" American Worrier
Speaks of Hor Melancholy Condition After the Birth of Her Child.
"I feel as if I was doing an injustice to my suffering sisters if 1 did not tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me, and its worth to the world. "From the birth of my child until he was four years old, I was in poor health, but feeling convinced that half of the ailments of women were imagined or else cultivated, I fought against my bad feel-' ings, until I was obliged to give up. My disease baffled the best doctors. "I was nervous, hysterical my head ached with such a terrible burning sensation on the top, and felt as if a band was drawn tightly above my brow inflammation of the stomach, no appetite, nausea at the sight of food, indigestion, constipation, bladder and kidney troubles, palpitation of the heart, attacks of melancholia would occur without any provocation whatever, numbness of the limbs, threatening paralysis, and loss of memory to such an extent that I feared aberration of the mind. "A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and spoke in glowing terms of what it had done for her.
I began its use and gained rapidly. Now I am a living advertisement of its merits. I had not used it a year when I was tho envy of the whole town, for my rosy, dimpled, girlish looks and perfect health. "I recommend it to all women. Ifind a great advantage in being able to say, it is by a woman's hands this great boon is given to women. All honor to the name of Lydia E. Pinkham wide success to the Vegetable Compound. "Yours in Health, MRS. E. BRESSIE, Herculaneum, Jefferson Co., Mo."
