The old theory of Free-Trade, or such Tariff laws as the WilsonGorman, is directly antagonistic to the comforts and which now belong to the workingman according to his standard of living. It needed but one experiment to show the laborer and farmer that Protection produces mills and factories; these give work to the laborer, and a great amount of labor insures a great consumption of agricultural product. It will be strange indeed if ever the country permits such a law as as the Wilson-Gorman to go into foice again.

The Republican is making no personal fight on Mr. John F. Major, Democratic candidate for county clerk, nor for that matter on any of the democratic candidates. Mr. Major is a very nice kind of a man, although we think it can truly be said, that there are no good qualities which he possesses which do not appertain in equal degree to his Republican opponent; and in the matter of education, a very important qualification in a county clerk, the Republican candidate has a vast advantage. But what we would especially desire to call attention to just now, is the faot that Mr. Major is trying hard to gain Republican votes on the claim that he is pretty nearly the same as a Republican and that politics cuts but mighty little figure, compared with the personal friendship etc. All of which would go down better if we did not know that there is no more uncompromising a Democrat in Jasper county than Major; and that he would be the last man in the county to vote for a Republican. Another fact to be remembered about Mr. Major, is when he gets to working the anticourt house talk, and that is that he was one of the very few resU Hants of Carpenter township wtfq .''ed his name in favor of ■* a new court house, when ♦he township was taken nosition early in 1896.

New Race Of Heroes.

A. J. Beveridge, the peer of any orator in the state, delivered the following glowing words of praise of our army at Williamsport last week: “What is that old saying about the idiocy of him who changed horses while crossing a stream ? It would be like discharging a workingman because he was efficient and true. It would be like court martialing Grant and dismissing his heroes in dishonor because they took Vicksburg and Peach Tree Creek, the Wilderness and all those fields of glory, of suffering and of death. Soldiers of’6l! A generation has passed and you have reared a race of heroes worthy of your blood—heroes of El Caney, San Juan and Cavite, of Santiago and Manila. Aye, and two hundred thousand more as brave as they who waited in their camps with an agony of impatience the battle call, ready to court the hellish hardships

of the trenches—the very sweets of fate—if they could only fight for the flag. For every tented field was full of Hobsons, Roosevelts, Wheelers and their men: full of the kind of soldiers that in regiments of rags, starving with bare feet in the snows of winter, made Valley Forge immortal; full of the same kind of boys that endured the hideous hardships of the Civil war, drank from the filthy roadside pools as they marched through the swamps of death, ate food alive with weavels and even corn pioked from the horses camp, slept in the blankets of the blast with sheets of sleet for covering, breakfasted with danger and. dined with death and came back—with a laugh and shout and song of joy, American soldiers, pride of their country and the envy of the wojfckL. For tjhat is the kind of of 1898 are, not withstanding the slanders of politicians and the leprous press which tries to make the world believe that our soldiers are suckling babes and womanish weaklings and our government in war a corrupt machine, fattening off the suffering of our armies. In the name of patriotism I arraign these maligners of the sold-ier-hood of our nation. I call to the witness stand that Bayard of our armies, Gen. Joe Wheeler. I call that Hotspur of the south, Fitzhugh Lee. I call the 200,000 men themselves, who went to war fjr the business of war And I put all these against the vandals of politics who are blackening their fame as soldiers and as men. I call history to the witness stand.’’
