ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTING Wages of Laborers Were Never Higher — Greater Demand than Ever for the Farmers’ Product Chairman M. A. Hanna of the Republican National committee issued the following statement to voters on the eve of the election. Although the election is past, and it is all over but the shouting, the address makes good reading: CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—Senator Hanna, chairman of the Republican National committee, has issued a final statement to voters at the close of the Presidential campaign of 1900, in which he says: “Four years ago, at the close of a campaign marked by great earnestness and candor of discussion, I felt justified in appealing to all voters of the United States, irrespective of party, to cast their votes for William McKinley. Today conditions even more clearly justify a similar appeal. “Then the currency of the country was threatened in open and explicit terms, and this threat was recognized as endangering the savings of the wage-earner, the prosperity of the farmer, the activity of the manufacturer and the safety of the business man. Four years ago the country and people were experiencing a condition of financial distress such as the people of this generation had never witnessed, and the Republican party believed that legislation which would encourage home industries, while it assured a sound financial system, would restore prosperity to all classes. “With this belief, an appeal was made to all voters, irrespective of party, and their response elected William McKinley by the largest plurality ever known, with a single exception, and also a Republican Congress. After the legislation which followed came prosperity such as this country has never before known. Official reports of the Department of Labor show that wages have risen to a higher rate than ever before in this country, where labor receives the highest reward, and the demand for labor in all lines of industry was never greater. With this increase of activity and employment have come higher prices for the farmer and a greater demand for his products. His bring our nation in safety and honor through another year. The works of religion and charity have everywhere been manifest. Our country has been blessed with abundant harvests. Labor and the industries of the people have prospered beyond all precedent. All commerce has spread over the world. Our power and influence in the cause of freedom and enlightenment have extended over distant seas and lands. The lives of our official representatives and many of our people in China have been marvelously preserved. We have been generally exempt from pestilence and other great calamities, and even the tragic visitation which overwhelmed the city of Galveston made evident the sentiments of sympathy and Christian charity by virtue of which we are one united people. “Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the 29th of November next, to be observed by all the people of the United States or abroad as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Him who holds the nation in the hollow of His hand. I recommend that the people gather in their several places of worship and devoutly give Him thanks for the prosperity wherewith He has endowed us, for seed time and for the harvest, for the valor, devotion and humanity of our armies and navies, and for all His benefits to us as individuals and as a nation; and that they humbly pray for the continuance of His divine favor, for concord and amity with other nations, and for righteousness and peace in all our ways. “In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. “(Signed) WILLIAM M’KINLEY.” THE FARMER AND THE CAREER Mr. John P. Young, the able managing editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, has recently placed before the public a very valuable book entitled, “Protection and Progress,” a book that ought to find a place on the shelves of every intelligent farmer in our state, insmuch as our state is so tremendously interested in sustaining the protection policy of the Republican party. It is a strong book and one cannot read it. “Least Said, Soonest Men Be brief. Bad means illness. Good means cheerful, active and women and hearty offspring.

With this increase of activity and employment have come higher prices for the farmer and a greater demand for his products. His mortgage has been canceled, his home life brightened, and his surplus deposited in the bank. "Commerce and employment have expanded; the exports of all classes have exceeded those of any former administration, and the American flag has been carried across the Pacific, and the door of the Orient opened to our civilization and productions. "Yet after these three years of unparalleled advancement, voters are asked to abandon the prosperity that has come under the administration of McKinley and to substitute for it the dangerous doctrines rejected in 1896, and which are now rendered more dangerous by the record of evasion and insincerity with which they are presented. "The people of the United States have the right to demand that those aspiring to the Presidency shall deal frankly with them, and shall take as their associates men of clean hands and respect for law and order. And it is their right and duty to reprove and reject, without regard to party, those who appeal with deception or with doctrines and assertions dangerous to the public peace and prosperity and the safety of the republic." The United States. The population of the United States has increased in ten years from 63,069,756 to 76,295,220. The increase is something over 13,000,000, or about 21 percent. The total is not quite up to estimates, but in one sense it is enough. It indicates a healthful growth. A much larger addition to our population would indicate a larger ratio of gain by immigration. The nation has arrived at that point in development at which immigration ceases to be a matter of importance. The United States now takes third rank among the nations of the world in respect to population. The latest estimate of the population of China proper gives the empire 346,000,000 people. The population of Russia in Europe is 102,000,000, and of Russia in Asia, 21,000,000. British India contains a population of 221,000,000, but the population of Great Britain proper, including Ireland, is a little less than 40,000,000. In estimating the relative power of nations colonies can hardly be considered. It is a question whether they are a source of wealth or whether they add to the military strength of a nation. If we leave colonies out of estimates of national greatness the United States ranks third in population, second in foreign commerce and first in accumulated wealth. Russia in Europe has United States to be affixed. "(Signed) WILLIAM M'KINLEY." THE FARMER AND THE CAREER. Mr. John P. Young, the able managing editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, has recently placed before the public a very valuable book entitled, "Protection and Progress," a book that ought to find a place on the shelves of every intelligent farmer in our state, insmuch as our state is so tremendously interested in sustaining the protection policy of the Republican party. It is a strong book and one cannot read it without becoming a protectionist on principle. The chapter devoted to Protection and the Farmer, are particularly well handled and we here review some of the low tariff contentions that protection is not to the interest of American agriculture. They leave small room for argument. In answer to the British, free trade contention, echoed by American free trade and low tariff agitators, that protection has been at the expense of agriculture, Mr. Young shows conclusively that this is not only not true, but that protection has contributed in no small degree to the unprecedented growth of agriculture in America and that a contrary policy pursued in Great Britain has resulted in a disastrous depression of agricultural interests in that country. The great problem, as Mr. Young shows, which has confronted the American farmer has been a comparative ever-production, a difficulty in finding market for what he has produced. Therefore it is clear as day that if had been made a purely agricultural country, as our low tariff predators desired to make it, the sum total annual investment would not now speed what the present agricultural development will sustain, for the American farmer, and many possible policy, did not have had more than the sold for a market and the world's market has been inadequate. The development of American agriculture has been largely the result of its rapid inventiveness, and American inventiveness has been the result of a development of American mechanical skill has resulted from the ossering of those mechanical industries which a protective tariff has created. The American farmer has discovered the needs of the farm, but the mechanic and to supply those needs, for it is only the man who understands mechanics who can invent and perfect mechanical devices. Again, as Mr. Young clearly demonstrates, the American farmer has been dependent for the development of his industry upon the development of American railways, and the development of our stupendous railway system has been due to American invention and in large measure to the profits accruing from manufacturing industries which have gone into railway construc- ing the right of free speech, kept right of political discussion so may be able to settle our politics squarely and fairly after hearing given to any one, whose views may be, if he expresses decently and in proper language. “There is danger of imperialism but it is not from the direction Mr. Bryan is looking. There ger in the regular army—the army of eighty-one-one hundred soldier for every thousand soldier this great republic. No, no not yet reached that pitch off when we are afraid of that. No danger of militarism. The danger of imperialism from this starting out on the path our faction do do work of a great work. “The only danger of infestation that will ever come in this country being invited as a reaction against anarchy. Anarchy is the hand-trynanny. If we ever grow to lawless mob violence for this liberty that we enjoy under this ever we grow to substitute brute force for the rule of where the ballot is cast if counted as cast; if ever we change for government by deligislature of the country and stamp; if we ever grow to expose those violence that finds either in word or deed, then deed within a measureable loss of losing our liberty. Then till then, the worst thing that can have is the man sitting at exciting other men who are deeds of violence, and whetting citing of violence be by a pope the editor of a newspaper thus the same.” To the man who does not know the course of history has been very naturally occur that there establish a monarchy on the new republic would be to make ment of the republic stronger, more and more until it made some man history does not afford such an If a republic has given monarchy it has been when public had given place to anthem. It is a weak and not a strom ment which prepares the womonarchy and the loss of ther people. Order is indispensable a republic can not afford it at can and will. If the people govern themselves some still will rise up who can and will them. This is the continuance world's history and the v case presented in the foregoing eror Roosevelt is the verdict history.

The population of Russia in Europe is 102,000,000, and of Russia in Asia, 21,000,000. British India contains a population of 221,000,000, but the population of Great Britain proper, including Ireland, is a little less than 40,000,000. In estimating the relative power of nations colonies can hardly be considered. It is a question whether they are a source of wealth or whether they add to the military strength of a nation. If we leave colonies out of estimates of national greatness the United States ranks third in population, second in foreign commerce and first in accumulated wealth. Russia in Europe has an area of 2,018,022 square miles, in Asia of 6,564,778. The territorial area of China proper is but 1,534,953 square miles, though the dependencies of China, which are included in the popular idea of China, have an area of 2,923,-800 square miles. The territorial area of the United States, not including the recent acquisitions, is 3,501,404 square miles. Looking into the future, Russia and the United States have the promise of the greatest development of any of the nations of the earth. Both are, as nations go, new countries with sufficient territory to expand upon. The other great powers have reached a point in growth of population in excess of extent of territory. The commercial possibilities of the United States are practically unlimited. With 2000 miles of coast on the Atlantic and the Pacific, and occupying the zones in which the white race attains its highest development, our people can reach east and west until American meets American on the other side of the globe. The purpose we should keep in view is not to grow faster than we can grow healthfully. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern which is not afraid to be generous.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints A REAL DANGER TO LIBERTY. At Canon city, Colorado, September 18, 1900 Governor Roosevelt spoke in part as follows: "There has been some talk as to the paramount issue in this campaign. Now I will tell you and I have made up my mind within the last forty-eight hours (laughter) what the paramount issue is. The paramount issue is to keep our national self-respect by each individual keeping his own self-respect and respecting his fellows; keeping the right of free speech, keeping the right of political discussion so that we may be able to settle our political differences squarely and fairly after a fall nearing given to any one, whatever his views may be, if he expresses them decently and in proper language. "There is danger of imperialism, aye, but it is not from the direction in which Mr. Bryan is looking. There is no danger in the regular army—the regular army of eighty-one one hundredths of a soldier for every thousand citizens of this great republic. No, no. We have not yet reached that pitch of timidity when we are afraid of that. There is no danger of militarism. There is no" THAT "SORDID PLEA." The orchards and vineyards of California are 2,000 miles away from the threshold of our country's market for their products, and the intervening distance is covered by railroads running over lofty ranges of mountains, through desert wastes and semi-arid regions where local traffic will hardly more than suffice to pay the wages of the train crews operating the system. We are too few in population to manufacture extensively for a local market and too far away from the markets of our own country and of Europe to enable our manufactured products to compete with best advantage in the best markets in the world with the best appointed manufacturing districts in the world. Our grain grown on the Pacific coast has to be carried a distance equivalent to two-thirds of the circumference of the globe before it can find a market and, in this instance at least, the producer pays the freight and, for want of an adequate American merchant marine (which the Republican party proposes to supply) the Pacific Coast wheat grower often has to submit to extortionate freight charges. Nearly all of our productions must be sent far away to seek consumers, and the greater part of what we consume has to be brought to us from distances as remote, and the conditions are such, in most instances, as to compel the Pacific coast producer to pay transportation charges on what he produces and on what he consumes. It is the marketing of finished products which yield the richest rewards to any people and if the Pacific coast would become populous and wealthy it must look to the rainbow of promise seen in the possible development of trade and civilization on the farther side of the Pacific ocean. The whole world is looking upon the same theatre of action with an interest as keen as our own, but in this field of effort Pacific coast people have the advantage of being relatively nearer the consuming masses than any other people having capacities for production commensurate with our own. European and Eastern markets are relatively far A Business Proposition. A successful business career cannot be achieved without sound health.

After taking three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and one vial of his 'Pleasant Pellets' I am stout and hearty. It is due entirely to your wonderful medicines."

Just then the clock sounded one, two, three. The wife looked at him with grim rebuke.

There is no danger of imperialism from this country starting out on the path of fathers trod so do the work of a great world power. “The only danger of imperialism that will ever come in this country is in it being invited as a reaction against anarchy. Anarchy is the handmaiden of tyranny. If we ever grow to substitute lawless mob violence for the orderly liberty that we enjoy under the law, if ever we grow to substitute the rule of brutal force for the rule of the ballot, where the ballot is cast freely and counted as cast; if ever we grow to exchange for government by debate in the legislature of the country and on the stump; if we ever grow to exchange for those the violence that finds expression either in word or deed, then we will indeed be within a measureable distance of losing our liberty. Then, and not till then, the worst thing this country can have is the man sitting at ease and exciting other men who are ignorant to deeds of violence, and whether this exciting of violence be by a politician or the editor of a newspaper the effect is the same.” To the man who does not know what the course of history has been it would very naturally occur that the way to establish a monarchy on the ruins of a republic would be to make the government of the republic stronger and stronger, more and more centralized, until it made some man king. All history does not afford such an instance. If a republic has given place to a monarchy it has been when that republic had given place to anarchy. It is a weak and not a strong government which prepares the way for a monarchy and the loss of the liberties of the people. Order is indispensable. If a republic can not afford it a monarchy can and will. If the people cannot govern themselves some strong man will rise up who can and will govern them. This is the continuous story of the world's history and the view of the case presented in the foregoing by Governor Roosevelt is the verdict of human history. WHAT OF THE SOLDIER? “I ask you to see to it that the men in Washington do not undo the work done by your sons and brothers in the Philippines. Your Governor has recently spoken of the soldiers of the regular army as fifteen-dollars-a-month hirelings. I have fought beside these hirelings at Santiago. I saw the First, the Third and the Sixth white cavalry and the Ninth and Tenth colored cavalry go up the hill. I saw them leave behind them 300 dead and wounded hirelings.” The great nations of the earth are establishing commercial feeders throughout all the earth. They are reaching out into all the inhabited districts to establish commercial outposts, spheres of influence and other advantages for opening to their own people opportunities for disposing of their surplus products. What will be the effect upon the nation that does not do this? Will it not suffer as a trunk line of railroad would suffer action of “Golden Medical Discovery.” Mollised.

He caught her eye and jerked out this reply: “Well, now, if you want to believe that darned $1.50 clock before your dear husband, it's all right.” It was a similar occasion, only more so. At this time he was a little drunker than usual. His step was unsteady, but he had not lost his courteous manners. She met him at the front, weeping reproachfully. “Oh, John,” she pleaded, “what makes you do this way?” “You are—hie—so awful pretty—hic,” he said, making an extravagant bow and kissing her, “that I like to—hic—to see you double.” And she put him tenderly to bed, bathed his forehead next morning and forgot about the scolding she had fully determined to administer to him. —Missouri Excelsior. “I have used Chamberlain's Collec Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy and find it to be a great medicine,” says Mr. E.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist, was at one time engaged on a mural decoration. He had rigged up a scaffolding in its studio, on which his model was requested to stand. For two long hours he poor "poseur" stood up aloft in a moody fatiguing posture. Menzel in the meathouse worked at his sketch, heedless of the fact that his model was growing tired. At length the model found it necessary to speak. "Herr professor," said he, "how about a recess?" Menzel apologized profusely for his forgetfulness. "Certainly, certainly my dear sir," said he. "Come down and rest yourself a bit." The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder, which led down from it to the studio floor. “Stop!” cried the artist suddenly. "That pose is fine! Don't move a muscle!" And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity, while the enthusiastic draftsman set about sketching him. At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work. "There," did he, "that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again." What the model said is left to the reader's imagination.

Your Governor has recently spoken of the soldiers of the regular army as fifteen-dollars-a-month hirelings. I have fought beside these hirelings at Santiago. I saw the First, the Third and the Sixth white cavalry and the Ninth and Tenth colored cavalry go up the hill. I saw them leave behind them 300 dead and wounded hirelings—300 men who have shed their blood for the honor of the flag—300 men who died that we might be proud that their country still held in honor the flag, and the reward is that these men should be sneered at as hirelings. When you sent your regiment to the Philippines its Colonel died. He came from the regular army. It was Colonel Stotsenburg who wrote a new name on the honor roll of American history, who conferred honor not only on your State, but on all the Nation. Is he to be referred to as only a hireling? It is but a few weeks since Mr. Bryan himself spoke of our soldiers as a hundred thousand men walking about in idleness. Colonel Stotsenburg no longer walks about in idleness. The men who were in the Philippines, who stayed there, no longer walk about in idleness. General Lawton no longer walks about in idleness, nor does Liscum nor Roilly, who died at Tien-tsin. They have found rest where their comrades from 1861 to 1865, who gave their lives for their flag, have found rest. Woe to the country that has lost its capacity to appreciate the sacrifice of the gallant souls who do and dare and die for its honor and its glory. Of all ungenerous things, the most ungenerous is to deny the proper merit of honor to the soldier, whether volunteer like yourselves, or the regular, as Colonel Stotsenburg was.

The child took no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read, as effective a manner of courting in this nineteenth century as ever was Othello's in an earlier one. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Captain Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. "An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he entered the room," she said afterward, and when the meeting was over she went up to him. "I leave for London on the next train," he said hurriedly. "Please send me your address." "I do not know where," she replied with some embarrassment. He instantly handed out his card and was gone. A formal little note followed: "Dear Captain Reid—As you asked me to send you my address, I do so." By return of post came the answer: "Only say that you love me and I will be with you at once," and then the reply, "I think I do love you." His Vote. "Well, suh," said the old time colored voter.

If you or your friends have this disease, you know how disagreeable it is. Its symptoms are inflamed eyes, throbbing temples, ringing noises in the ears, headaches, capricious appetite and constant discharge of mucus. Fortunately its cure is not a question of what you will give, but what you will take. If your will take Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great constitutional remedy, which thoroughly purifies, enriches and vitalizes the blood, you may expect to be completely and permanently cured. The good blood which Hood's Sarsaparilla makes, reaching the delicate passages of the mucous membrane, soothes and rebuilds the tissues and ultimately cures all symptoms of catarrh. THE MAN WITH A CLAIM. A Pathetic Figure Who Is Regularly Stubbed at Town Meetings. The most pathetic figure at a town meeting is the man with a claim. The man who has the claim or grievance goes to the selectmen each spring and has them put an article in the warrant bringing this matter up. Some years he goes into town meeting himself and urges his claim. In other years for the sake of variety he will hire some of the local lawyers to present the matter in the best manner possible. Usually the man is listened to, though the whole thing is horribly familiar to every voter in the town. Then, when all the oratory has been spilled into their ears, some long eared man from the back districts will rise and will drawl with a grin: "Move we pass over that article," and forthwith the article is passed over with a whoop. And the man is around next year as usual. It is a curious thing, but the average town appears always ready to repudiate these matters of long standing. I have heard voters admit that certain claims against their town were perfectly legitimate and perhaps ought to be paid, but they are of the coterie that regularly votes against granting the appeal of the petitioners. Why? Oh, well, it's "an old matter," and the town is irritated by the persistence of the man who keeps coming to claim his own. When a town gets set in that direction, there is no repudiation heartless and so conscienceless as that which marks its action. You see, the blame is so equally divided. Refusing to pay honest debts is treated as a joke. Even the man who at last with awakened conscience gets up and urges his fellow citizens to do the right thing and pay the bill is smiled away as a chap that means well, but doesn't A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Son's Life. Mr. H. H. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co., N. J., says: "Our little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to solve the tough mucus and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symptoms appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled." There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult." For sale by P. A. Derge, Druggist. Mining.

How are your nerves? If you are easily "flustered," can't sleep and feel unrefreshed in the morning, your nerves are weak. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the nerves strong by making the blood rich and pure. Sick headache is cured by Hood's Pills. 25c. White and Red Wines. White and red wines owe their difference to the fact that, while the former is permitted to ferment without the grape skirts, these are allowed to remain in the case of the latter. The color of the grapes makes no difference whatever to the color of the wine which they produce, for the juice of all grapes is as nearly as possible colorless. For instance, the grape which yields champagne is almost black in outward appearance. That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.
