Do YOV want to swap horses while crossing prosperity's stream.

You voted for prosperity and got it. Will you now vote against it?

CHOKF.U, as the power behind the throne, would subject the nation to the shame of Tammany.

A FATHIOT makes a better citizen than a pessimist.—McKinley at Philadelphia, June 2, 18ii7.

CHIEF

among Bryan's traveling men

is Aguinaldo. who represents Democracy in the Philippine Islands.

No MAN ever went into the Presidency so thoroughly bound and en-

slaved as Bryan would be to Tammany.

ought not to be difficult to convince the wage-earner that if there were benefits arising from a degenerated currency they would reach bini'least and last of all.—Grover Cleveland.

NOT a Democrat in the land thought of crying imperialism or militarism when McKinlcy was trying to settle the Cuban trouble and avoid war with Spain. But the cry is made now foi political efleet.

anyone accepts Bryan's doctrine that there is no difference between a bounty and protection, and that protection is vicious in principle, he cannot favor mere tariff reform, but absolute. free trade. Bryan is an absolute free trader. He has said so in congress. To Republican protection, MeKinlev's tariff, we owe most of our prosperity.

DOCTORS know many ohings which niil kill the microbes of the worst diseases, but do not use them because they kill the patient, too. Just like Bryan's scheme for punishing trusts by taking the tariff oil the articles they produce. That would end the trusts, and also the labor employed by them. The trouble must be reached in another way than by free trade.

THK Xews-Rcriew has the audacity to defend the man Altgeld, who pardoned the Chicago anarchists and made himel a us Illinois. The Xews-Review boasts that he wasjelected by a large majority, but it does not say that when he ran for a second term and he ran against the most unpopular candidate the Republicans ever nominated in Illinois—| be was defeated [by the biggest major-1 ity ever thrown against a candidate.

HISTORY repeats itself. During the war of the rebellion the Democratic papers denounced l-.ncoln as a tyrant I and bitterly maintainea that after the south should be subjugated the great I army would be kept in arms to continue I the Republican party in power. When the war was over that mighty host, the best army the world ever saw, was I quietly disbanded and the soldier.? took I up their peaceful avocations without causing the least trouble. Their mission as soldiers had been accomplished and their life as citizens

was resumed.

when they get here obliged to enlist in either.

SAYS the Crawfordsville Xewti-Rcrktr: "Right here in Crawfordsville the all powerful trust shut down the barbed I wire plant, the biggest industry we ever had. and it will never run again.-'

That it will never run again is true, I for in itsipiace is the match factory which is a bigger industry than the wire plant, and which would not have been started had not the sale of the

Crawford house also. The wire mill will never run again, but there will he a bigger and abetter wire plant running

SECRETARY HAY, in common with everybody else in Washington, was surprised at the announcement of the Anglo-German agreement upon a Chinese programme, and he was even more pleased than surprised. With Germany and England standing against the dismemberment of China, land grabbing on the part of any of the powers, and for the permanent maintenance of the commercial open door in China, we are absolutely sure to get all we desire—an open lield and no favors in the trade of China. It may be that England and Germany were actuated by a desire to head off Russia, rather than to aid us in holding our trade rights in China, but that doesn't concern us. The important thing about the combination is that it will aid us. That is sufficient for us. It has been the policy of this government from the lirst to oppose any dismemberment of China. Therefore, the Anglo-German agreement, whatever may have brought it about, is an endorsement of the policy of this government as announced last July.

prosperous and to prove his poin goes outside the province of truth. He states that there are 1 ,-"00 unemployed men in Terre Haute who are looking for work. The statement is absurdly false. Nor are there many unemployed men in the gas belt as the editor claims. Every man who wants work to-day can find it and everybody knows so.

THK Xews-Jteview viciously attacks Gen. Black because of his speech here on Saturday night. No higher compliment could be paid to General Black's argument than the proof that it displeased the Crawfordsville Bryanites.
