| fc Iftltwk By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co A PERSONAL letter from an oldtiine McCookite and rock-ribbed Democrat contains so much pertinent information that \ve take the liberty of reproducing a paragraph or two. The writer is ir the iron industry , and his ' 'zone o : action" covers pretty much the entire country ; hence the value of his persona ! observations : "Well , I suppose you do not hear the hum of the business world in your sec tion. Never before in the history of this country has there been such activity , especially in the iron and steel lines. It is not a question of price , but of de livery. Every hamlet in this state ( Pa. ) is black with the thick , heavy smoke from the iron mills and the smelters. Night and day the fires are burning , and labor is at a premium In the majority of factories wage1 * have been advanced without request. The trusts about which they talk so much , do not seem to effect labor , neither do they seem to limit or confine manufacture. Whatever their future effect may be , the present effect , if any , is to make prices of certain lines uniform and to dispense with costly and often useless competition. You ought to cultivate the acquaintance of President McKinley. His renomiuation and re election are safely certain. He is un doubtedly a great man , doubly great , because he keeps his face closed , and does not act the blatherskite at every cross road. "What has become of the party the 'Sage of Arbor Lodge" was about to start ? Another bottle of pop ; of educat ed oxvgen ! Strange as it may seem , I am still a Democrat. " EAST RED WILLOW.
