ATTEND the democratic meetings to be held at the several places mentioned in another column.

Every candidate on the democratic ticket is worthy of your support at the polls on the 6th of November. VoTE^gainst the trusts on the 6th day of November and make yourselves a free people. If you desire to enslave yourself vote for the party of trusts. Billy Battles will be the next recorder of Pike county. He is capable, worthy and should receive the support of every voter in Pike county.' Richard Bass is the favorite candidate for county sheriff. He is competent and enjoys the confidence of the people irrespective of politics. He is just the kind of a man to elect to that position. The campaign of coercion of employes by manufacturers has begun. The old game as worked by the republicans in 1806 will not work again. Laboringmen will vote their sentiments on the 6th day of November. t'OL. Owen will be the next congressman from the First district. He is meeting with much encouragement from all over the district and will be elected by a large majority. Pike county will come up nobly for the gallant little colonel. William Liibs will make the people of Pike county a model and competent custodian of the funds paid in by the tax-payers. He is honest and trustworthy and enjoyathe confidence of the public with whom he has long been associated in a business way. The republican party is now upholding slavery and polygamy in the Sulu islands. The people of the United States do not favor any such policy. The Sultan of Sulu draws $2,500salary per yetir from the United States. Voters, how do you like it. Mark Twain says? “I don't quite understand what we are trying to do in the Philippines. I had rather hoped we were going there as the protector of the Filipinos, instead of their master. I have never been able to comprehend how we came to be fighting the natives. Perhaps it is unavoidable. But I thought our mission was to defend, not to kill them.”

Boodle for the republican campaign is arriving. 'The ward heelers will have plenty of money in this campaign. Pike county will receive a large supply from the republican managers and it is said that one of the distributing agents was here last week. The republican party will resort to its old methods of electing their candidates, no matter what the cost as long as the trusts will put up the cash._ Monnett, ex-attorney-general of Ohio, has come out in a strong letter endorsing the election of Bryan for 9 president. Monnett while attornej' general brought suit against trust combinations in Ohio and fought them to a finish, but the republicans set down on him at their state convention because he was fighting the trusts. It. goes to show that the republican party stands by the trusts in every case. Monnett will speak throughout the country against trusts and for the election of Bryao. ,

The democratic party presents an exceptionally strong ticket to the yoters of Pike county for their ratifi* cation on the 6th day of November. Every man on the ticket is well known and enjoys the confidence and respect of his neighbors. They are all qualified for the positions for which they have been named, and will make efficient and capable officials. They \ will look after the interests of the ! tax-payers just the same as they have their own personal business interests. They are not bossed by a clique who aim at nothing higher than official spoils. .During the past three years under the democratic regime the county debt has been reduced from $60,000 to $27,000. Is this not a splendid three years work. When the democrats assumed control of county affairs county orders were selling on the streets at 10 per cent discount. Now every order is promptly paid and men holding orders need not discount them because they are worth their face value. The democratic candidates stand pledged to reduce the.expenditures and to use economy in all county matters. The republican management rqn it head over heels in debt, and the democratic management is now paying off the debts created. Voters of Pike county, it is to your interest to see that every man on the democratic ticket is 'elected. General Harrison sticks to it. J While he is mildly for McKinley, be- | cause of gratitude to the party that i twice made him its candidate for the | presidency, and once secured his election, he makes it clear that he has not changed his opinion with reference to McKinley’s policy. In an authorized interview, in which it was suggested to him that he was reported to be not in accord with his party, he said: "Well. 1 have heard, that my silence was imputed by some to that cause. Now, the only public utterances 1 have made in criticism of the policies of the party was contained in the interview, consisting of one rather short sentence, that I gave to the newspapers while the Porto Kico bill was pending. It was, in substance, that I regarded the bill as a grave departure from right principles. I still think so. I do not believe that the legislative po^r of congress in the territories is absolute—and ldo believe that the revenue clause, relating to duties and imports, applies to Porto Itico.”

During the past three years of what republican papers and stump speakers call “confidence and prosperity times” the mortgage indebtedness in Pike county has increased $194,345. What do you think about it? To any sensible man it would look that prosperity has pot hit the people of Pike county to any great extent as the indebtedness would have been decreased. To be sure the moneyed men of the country have increased their wealth, but the average farmer and mechanic and business man finds himself in about the same condition. “Confidence and prosperity” has not been running around loose in this neck of the woods. Think of an increased mortgage indebtedness amounting to $194,345 in three years and then say it is prosperity. The campaign will last but a few days more, and it is now time that the ! voters should know whether they want i the trusts and combinations to rule i this country or the people. The | farmers,« laboringmen and business men know that the trusts have raised the prices of articles that the consumers must buy. The necessaries of life are all higher. The price of sugar has nearly doubled within the last two years. Other articles have also increased in price. Fencing wire has docbled and so has other articles. The trusts have increased the prices, and will continue to do so unless there is legislation enacted by congress. Do you want a change? If so, vote your sentiments on the 6th of November.

The old lies about Mr. Bryan are coming to the front again, along with an assortment of new ones. The latest revival of an old lie relates to Mr. Bryan receiving pay for his speeches at every town where he stops. At Anderson last week Mr. Bryan raised a few blisters on the cuticle of the I editor of the republican organ, who interrupted him with a question. In revenge this person dug up this de- | crept lie and started it on its travels again. __ The democrats of Jeffersoa township, met at the Thomas school house last Saturday and nominated Jesse Thomas and Alvin Traylor for members of the township advisory board. The selection of these gentlemen will give satisfaction to the voters of the township. They are representative farmers and well qualified for the positions. • : $ The republican central committees oJg^Dubois and Pike counties met at Winslow last Saturday and nominated candidates for representative and prosecuting attorney.. Jay DeBruler of Ireland, was .nominated for prose-' cutor, and Frank Thomas of Winslow, for representative.

Roosevelt Before and After. AS *AN ANTI-IMPERIALIST. “The general feeling In the west upon this last subject afterwards crystalized into what became, known as tfie ‘manifest’ idea, which, reduced to its simplest terms, was, that it was our manifest destiny to swallow up the land of all adjoining nations who were too weak to withstand us—a theory that forthwith obtained immense popularity among all statesmen of easy international morality.”—Life of Benton by Theodore Roosevelt, Standard Library, Second Edition American Statesmen, page 3ti. “This belligerent, piratical way of looking at neighboring territory was very characteristic of the west, and was at the root of manifest destiny.” Page 15, same volume. “Of course, no one would wish to see settled communities now added to our domain by force; we want no unwilling citizens to enter our union; the time to have taken the lands was before settlers came into them. European nations war for the possession of thickly settled districts, which, if conquered, will for centuries remain alien and hostile to the conquerors; we, wiser in our generation, have seized the waste solitudes that lay near us, the limitless forests and never-ending plains, and the valleys of the great, lonely rivers, and have thrust our own sons into them to take possession: and a score of years after each conquest we see the conquered land teeming with a people that is one with ourselves.”—Referring to the Canadian provinces of" the British empire, on page 235, same volume. AN IMPERIALIST NOW. “Now, one moment as to the Philippines. We cannot in honor shirk our work in the Philippines. We are there and we have got to stay. Peace has come to ? large sections of the earth because the civilized races have spread over the world's dark places. It is a good thing for the world that France should be in Algiers. England in the Soudan and Russia in Turkestan. *»>.

“They talk about liberty in the Philippines! Liberty, aye, liberty shall come, liberty such as they have never known before in all the dark ages, but it shall be liberty under the American flag. “Peace, peace and goodwill, good government and a constantly increasing measure Of self-government, all shall come in in good time, but this shall come because our flag floats over the islands. My fellow-citizens, you men and women of the mighty west, surely yon are not among those who tremble and shrink back and stand aside from the contest, to let stronger and braver people reach forward and take the results of the victories you have won. Surely you will stand by your duty! And I ask you. my fellow-countrymen. I appeal to you now, at the threshold of the new century, to declare, once for all, in the face of the peoples of all mankind, the doctrine that where once the American flag has been hoisted in honor,1 it shall never be hauled down in dishonor!”—Roosevelt's speech Tuesday night in St. Louis. In 1892 it was claimed that 230 men controlled the United States. Great surprise was manifested at Mr. Sherman's statistics. Eight years have passed away, and now we find that ten men can prevent production and stay the hand of industry in our country. They hold in their safes the terrible power to ►create enforced idleness among ten million wage earners. Whither are we drifting, and where will it all end? Four years more of the rule of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hanna, trust agents, and two men, perhaps only one Napoleon of finance, will rule our confederation of fortyfour states and the colonies that are the resultant of the greed behind the trusts.

During one of Mr. Bryan's speeches in Michigan a man in the crowd called out: “You are the man who will take down the flag.” To this Mr. Bryan replied: “I want to tell you that your president has promised to haul down the flag in Cuba, and if a republican president can take down the American flag in Cuba, within 200 miles of our shores, a democratic president can take it down 7,000 miles away.” And Mi. Bryan is entirely right. It should be added that Mr. McKinley has already taken our flag down in a part of Alaska, where he surrendered to England 2,000 square miles of American territory. August Flower. “It is a surprising fact,” say^ Prof. Houton, “that in my travels'in all parts of the world, for vtfifc last ten years, I have met more peiyple having used Green’s August Flower than any other remedy for dyspepsia^feranged liver and stomach, and for &£fctipation. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist,' that Green’s August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at Oliphant Drug Co’s. Sold by dealers in all civilized countries.
