ip* >E HAVE JUST PURCHASED ONE OF THE LARGEST STOCKS VC/oF CHINA EVER BROUGHT TO THE CITY OF RENSSELAER. OVER 11,500 WORTH OF GOODS AT FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR WHICH WE SfiAtL PUT ON SALE AT THE SAME PRICES AS WE BOUGHT IT AT, ONLY CHARGING A SMALL PER CENT FOR OUR TROUBLE. 7* Now, ladies, from far and near, if you are looking for bargains, you ought not to miss this sale. If you want fine China, we have it. If you want the medium kind, we have it. If you want the common kind, we have it. 1 And we have it at prices you never will get a chance to duplicate. No matter where you go, you can not beat ns on this deal. We have been "laying” for just such a lot of china and have just landed the same. Remember the day and date of sale. Beautiful imported, hand painted and fancy china at less than 50 cents on the dollar. Come, everybody, to this great sale. You will be surprised at the quality, quantity and cheapness that you ean buy the same. A few prices are shown herewith. Hundreds of other articles too numerous to mention. Come and see the grand display. Nothing like it. t Every lady buying five dollars worth of goods while this sale lasts will receive a present of a beautiful Japanese cup and saucer, worth twenty-five cents, absolutely freei. We have beautiful pictures, fancy rugs, fine china, which we give as premiums to our customers for their trade. We do not charge you a cent for them. If we do not sell the same goods for less money or more and better goods for the same money, we do not want your trade, and besides the beautiful premiums which you get by only saving your tickets which you get with every purchase, no matter how small. They are valuable and careful buyers look after them. We handle almost everything, and that little something which no one else keeps can always be found

here. You should come here first —but then it is better for you to go elsewhere so you will see how much lower our prices are when you do come, besides "what a difference in quality,’ 7 you will remark at the first glance. "Why, 1 did not know you handled such a large variety, besides the quality is far superior to. the stores down the street and the prices are one-third less anyway. Ido not see why I did not know of this place before. I feel like kicking myself for being so stupid.” How many times have we heard just such remarks as we have quoted above. We have been here going on eight years. It is high time that everybody knew the RACKET STORE by this time. Of course there has been a great change in the last five years. Many an old customer has moved away and new ones have not yet got on to the ropes. They will get on to them after they pay a few fancy prices for their goods, when they could save | by coming here. We expect in the near future to put in a line of groceries and to take butter and eggs; we will allow you the highest market price for eggs now if you bring them in.

CULTIVATE FIRST VOTERS.

’4. ' ' ■" < Not until the national conventions have nominated the presidential candidates will the big political campaign of the year be started fairly. The personalities of the chief banner-bear-ers have their influence on the making up of the popular mind hardly less than the political principles of the parties opposed. In Indiana the state party platforms and the candidates that stand on them are now before the electorate. It were well for all Republicans to remember the fact and realize that each one has many opportunities for quiet evangelistic work from now until November 3rd. The big orators of the party will haVe their opportunities later, but the individual citizen has a constant chance to promote his party’s success and the realization of what he thinks best for state and country. In this presidential year the missionary mandate should be accepted by all. And it is wonderful what effective work can be done by the individual; there is none without influence, and few realize how far their precept and their practice reach. The small pebble dropped in the big pool raises ripplea that race to the farthest shore.

In the field of first voters is the big opportunity. There the grain is good and it is whitening now for the harvest. We will- speak to the .first voter especially at length later, but daily now the older Republican can cultivate the ground. It is no stretching of figures to say that close to half a hundred thousand young men of Indiana will cast their first ballot for a president in November. Among first voters there are never any stay-at-hofaes on election day; the great privilege of the franchise is manfully and joyfully exercised by all erf them. The total number of voters now in the state as returned to the state auditor and published by him last week is 745,254. In the last general election, four years ago, the number of votes cast in Indiana for all presidential candidates wdfe 682,185. The difference in the figures Is 63,069. There are now 81,160 more voters in Indiana than cast their ballots for McKlhley and Bryan in 1900, and going back to the great Campaign of 1896—when Mr. Bryan had ,hls first baptism of defeat—there are today no. less than 102,119 more men entitled to vote in this state this year than voted twelve/ years ago. Read the figures Over aghin and you can appreciate what may be done among the first yoters of 1908. » Time was when political principles and party affiliations descended from father to son; they were inherited and were as hereditary as the color’ of eyes or shape of nose or manner of speech and walk. But that has changed In great measure. And with the

change has come a distinct advantage to the Republican worker. The first voter of this year was .a boy of nine when the name of William Jennings Bryan was in everyone's mouth. He was still a schoolboy during the campaign of 1900. He became more familiar with the nameahd fame of the present president of the United States. Many first voters in 1896 and who wore the Bryan button are still Wearing it, but the young man who at--, tains his majority this year or who has reached it within the past four years has been educated to know how tittle the Democratic party has ever done for the country. Sons and grandsons of Democrats have been educated so in wondtaßilly large numbers: Many of these young men have heard Mr. Bfyan preach or lecture and &elr minds may have been stirred by his mellifluous speech. But oratory and statesmanship are different gifts, and the young man should be prompted to analyze the difference. “Fine words butter no parships," and the first voter should be shown quietly by his older friends that plain horse sense on matters political is generally absent from th? flowers of speech affected by spellbinders. Not much special pleading is needed this year. The issues ate plain and easily to be discerned. The Republican party has done things. It.has been long in power in nation and state and its acts are known of all men. Its main reason presented this .year-to back up Its request for a continuance of popular favor and support is its record of work done. It is Republican performance against Democratic profession. There should be no hesitancy in choosing. A prompt decision should be reached when it is seen, as It is, how many doctors are in the Democratic party and. that no two of agree on the ills that afflict the nation, while all of them say that the country is in very bad condition. The (Halins of the Democrats are such as to make a young man laugh. At another time we will speak of the first voter and how he is prone to look on the nation and the administration of Its government

The saloon Interests, under the guise of temperance workers and Prohibitionists, are very apt to visit you during the campaign and urge j'ou to sign some kiiid of a card, or agreement, providing some other fellow does, bearing upon how you shall vote at the coming election. Do not be misled into signing anything, or any right away you may have. Your vote is dwn and yon have a right to exercise the same when you enter the booth. —Covington Republican. i Subscribe for the Republican and Journal.

OUR PROSPERITY.

That our one-time prosperity--un-precedented in history—is being restored to normal conditions is evidenced on every’* hand. In the first place the products of the farm, whose prices took a slump during the recent financial panic, are back to the old time high mark. In fact the prices of most farm products are higher now than a yehr ago. This is the case with wheat, corn, cattle and sheep. But all in all the farmers are "still in clover" and know a good thing when they see IL There is no dissatisfaction among them, and thefarmer vote will go to the Republican party. The movement of freight is another indication of the revival of business. The railroads centering at Indianapolis show as great if not greater tonPage for April, 1908, as for the same month in 1907. The number of cars moved is not so large as last year, but t,he capacity of the cars is much greater this year than last. The capacity of many cars is from 70,000 to 80,000 pounds, as against, 40,000 to 50,000 pounds in the old cars. Railroads are beginning extensions and betterments, stopped temporarily last fall. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has negotiated $40,000,000 of bonds, the money frofn whiCh will be used for improvements on the great system. . The general financial condition of the country is becoming brighter and more hopeful every day. Money fa coming out of its hiding placed And seeking investment. There, is a good surplus ip nearly. All the banks of the country and legitimate business has no trouble in securing funds to meet all requirements. Henry Clews, the financial writer and J authority, ;bf JSew York, says: "The most significant event of the week was the successful underwriting of the $40,000,000 Pennsylvania 4 per cent bonds. This Is a very gratifying indication of revival of confidence, as well hs positive proof of Improvement in monetary conditions. Another pleasing feature connected with this transaction is that practically one-half of the issue is to be placed abroad; a vbry practical demonstration that thOre’is a reviving foreign market for American investments of unquestionable security, especially when they are .packed management of good repu.tatipm There ,1s solid encouragement {n th,e fact that prominent foreign tankers are ofice more willing to finance odr best American railroad prijf/brtfes."

The panic of Wall street stock-job-ers nev?r did affect the general busipqssof the country to any considerable extent. With confidence in our great resources and in otir public institutions fully testbred, we will go on in the march for the world's supremacy.
