help doing' much good. His
pride in being made an &lHonorar ) '
T40comoti ve l irel11an" was cvident
and genuine. Actions of this
character will go far towards
combating the Democratic endeavors -
deavors to divide ur population
into two hostile camps-into
capital's camp and labor's camp
-the camp of the classes and the
camp of the masses.
Here is a typical case of misrepresentation -
representation made by the Democratic -
ocratic Con . . .ressional Commit.
tee's text-book , just published. '
On page 134 it is stated : "This
would leave the cost of the Philippine -
ippine war $696 , 338 , 374 up to
June 30 , 1903. " The Secretary
of War made an official report to
the Senate June 19 , 1902 , in
which he said that "The amount
of money expended and the ,
amoun't so far as practicable testate
state it , for whicll the government -
ment of the United States is
liable , remaining unpaid for
equipment , s pplies and military
operations in the Philippine
Islands each year from May 1 ,
1898 to the present time aggregate -
gate $170,372,586.11" There is
democratic fiction against official -
al fact.
'rhe RnpullLIcAN is pleased to
note that a number of the citizens -
zens of Custer county are stocking -
ing up with registered hogs and
cattle. This is one of the best
stock counties that can be found
any where and none know it better -
ter than those who have lived I
here a number of years. Since
our people have learned by experience -
perience to utilize the land those
who are engaged in mixed farming -
ing are becoming wealthrapid -
ly. The pioneer farmers are
buying more land and improving
their stock with the best breeds
the country affords. The beauty
of it is that as yet they have not
been able to monopolize all the
land anrl there is yet room for
others who have small capital
and want to start in where they
can build up a home and prosper.
.
Free Trallo.
"Free trade would open our
mar1 ts to benefit our own coun-
try. ' It is hospitabie and seeks
peace and good will with all
nations. Reciprocity cares nothing -
, ing for the consumer and hunts
foreign markets with a club. Its
) stock in trade is high tariff ,
favoritism , discrimination and
retaliation. It threatens to slam
our doors in the face of foreign
countries which will not open
their doors to our products.
Reciprocity is based upon the
. same false theories as is protection -
tion , and , like protection , is a
sham and a humbug , and to most
people has been , and will ever
continue . to 'be ' , a delusion and a
snare.
In practice , reciprocity is worse
than protection. "

't'hat sounds very nice but the
trouble with it is that it is a
theory that has never proven true
in the history of this country.
When we open our markets to
the world free , the foreign products -
ducts rush in and close up OUI
factories , throw our people oj
labor out of imployment , shuts oil
the income upon which they sup'
I. port their families decreases the
demand for our farm products ,
grain , meat and bcef. It make
but little difference under thoSt
circumstances to the' averag (
family whether goods are high 01
low. They have nothing witI
which to buy at any price.

The republican party advocates
the former while the democrats
and their allies arc for the latter.

( New \.ork IIerald. August 31. )
"Present prosperity is but the
begining of things , and IS destined -
ed to carry us forward to wealth
and power that we do not yet re-
nlize. 'We have not measured
our possibilities. Our country
has just begun to grow. "
This is not the enthusiasm of
unbalanced youth , but the sober
utterance of wise old age. It is
the estimate of Jay Coole , for
I
of affairs and
sixty years a man
by measure of achievement the I
6rreatcst financier of modern
times. It is sublimated optimism -
ism but it is founded
, upon a long I
and active xpcrience which
gives weight to the words.
: With three score years of fin-
anciering to look back upon , a
vivid memory to read the lessons
and a keen mind to apply them ,
a man may be said to have attained -
tained wordly wisdom- This is
the record of Jay Cooke. He has
seen the growth of the nation
through three generations ,
through plenty and poverty ,
peace and war , prospenty a d
panic. To few men has been
given so comprehensive a view
of financial history. No other ,
perhaps has had so great a part
in events in events which tend
to broaden the view and sharpen
the understanding.
"What is the basis of the present -
sent era of prosperity ? " was ask-
ed. For answered Mr. Cooke
wheeled around to his desk and
picked up one of a pile of pam-
phlets. It was a reprint of a
speech delivered in tke Senate by
Senator Gallinger of New HampshIre -
shIre on June 25 last , now issued
as a campaign document , under
the title. "Prosperity Is the
Issue : All Other Questions Are
Secon ary. "
"There you will find the explanation -
nation , " said Mr. Cooke , "expres-
sed more eloquently and accurately -
ely than I could hope to do. I
consider it one of the most logical -
cal and comprehensive documents
of the character ever produced.
Protection has been the secret of
our rise to industrial greatness ,
and while that principle is sus.
tained the United States will ad.
vance irresistibly. Senator
Gallinger quotes facts and figure
. es which cannot be refuted ,
covering every industry and act.
, ivitv of our national life. 1'hese
'
arc 'among his conclusions :
"Our progress under the Ding.

Geo. Washington was divinely
chosen to secure the independence -
ence of the American colonists
and Abraham Lincoln was raised
up to proclaim the emancipation
proclamation act that liber.ated
four million slaves and William
McKinley to bring order out of
chaos unite the north and south ,
strike the yoke of tryrany from
the Spanish subjects of the West
India Isles and open the way for
the evangelization education and
christianhation : of the orient.
But Theordore Roosevelt appears
to be chosen for the express purpose -
pose of establisbit g law
and order in our new possessiQn
and setting up a code of morals
proclaimed by the Son of God
among the heathen. A
champion of the anti-slavery
cause made his appearance in
Abraham Lincoln who so ably ,
championed the cause of human
liberty. He was chosen by the republican - I ,
publican party in 1860 to administer -
ister the affairs of the nation.
War followed which not only
resulted in the victory of the
union army but in the
emancipation of four millions
of slaves : There are but
few to.day but acknowledges
that Gods hand was in it and
that the immortnl Lincoln was
his chosen leader : In less than half
century the country became invo
lved in a financial crises and at our
door were a people appealing to
us for relief from Spanish
tyrany. 'rhe hearts of the
people as of one man demanded
that William McK1l1ley be placed
at the head of the national
affairs , with speci view of restoring -
ing the national credit and reviving -
ing industrial and commercial
life. In the history of the nation -
tion at no time had the people
suffered such great financial reverses -
verses and want and poverty so
wide spread. The rcmedy was
forth coming and on the day
following the election of the
great economist the news which
spread broad cast seem to electrify -
fy the commercial world and by
the time of his inauguration on
the 4th of the following March
a new life was being manifest
and factories , workshops and
various industries had provided
for the unemployed. From tha.t
day to this it has been one continued -
tinued round of prosperity
for all classes , and especially the
producer. But while the people
had chosen the apostle of economy -
my to administer the
commercial and industrial
i affairs of the nation ,
it appears that God had
destined him or a greater work in
the relief of humanity. For
.
centuries the tyran ) ' of Spain had
oppressed her subjects in the
'Vest Indies and the Phillipine
Islands. The American peoplc
heard thel\1acadonian cry of Cuba ,

lamentations of the people of the

the people that uur armies and

the relief of the Cuban's. But He
who is omnicient had also heard

and degradation of the dusky

realize that the great naval victor

Are not the proofs as great that
the God of battles was with
McKinley in his war against
Spain ? There is at the present
time a great industrial question
th.t ; : confronts the world. Not
only is America interested in
this great question but the entire -
tire civilized world. Man's extremity -
tremity has always been God's
opportunity. 'Ve do not know
that he already raised up a man
to solve this problem of capital
and labor but judging the future
by the past it begins to look very
much that may. Thedore Roosevelt -
velt the present incumbent of the
White House is rapidly gaining
the admiration of the laboring
classes. He is a man of strong
convictions and force. He may
have no more idea of being able
to solving the labor question than
had Lincoln of settling the question -
tion of slavery when he was first
inauguerated. Bnt his speeches
on his recent trip south shows
that his mind and heart is with
the laboring element yet not antagonistic -
tagonistic to capital.Vho
knows but his nomination to the
vice-presidency , which was
against his protests and , unwilling -
ing promotion to the presidency
was for a specific purpose under
the Providence of God. His re-
nomination by the republicans is'
practic1e assured and that he
will be the choice of the labor
unions seems to a fare gone : con-
clusion. Is not this an indication
that the hand of God is with him
as much as it was with his illustrious -
trious predecessors ?
