In all the nations at the qresent time , with the exception of Russia , politics is simply concerned with economic interests. There is no question presented concerning war or the rights of man. The acquisi tion of wealth is the sole thing at stake. That being the case , the man , who , from sentimental "reas ons or party prejudice , votes against - gainst his own interests , is an economic idiot. If he is kept in poverty , if what rightfully belongs to him as a producer , is by law given to others and he aids that process by his vote , he is simply idiotic. He hasn't good common sense , and he deserves the poverty that grinds him down. This country produces wealth enough so that all can have an abundance if equitably distributed. The man who votes to add more millions to the swollen fortunes already existing , while his own lot grows harder , is certainly deserv ing of nothing better than he gets. Take the farmer. Does he not vote against his own interests when he votes for a tariff ? He haste to buy all that he needs in a tariff protected market and sell all that he produces in a free trade market , or if he does not sell it all there , the free trade market fixes the price. The price of wheat , cotton and other farm products is fixed in Liverpool , not in this country. The farmer who votes for the party that forces him to pay twice as much for American goods as the same goods are sold for to foreign ers , is certainly voting against his own interest. The land owning aristocracy of Russia buys American harvesters and other farm machinery at about half the price the American farmer is forced to pay for it , and the Russian dukes and other noblemen are in direct competition with the American farmer. They raise wheat with peasant labor and with machinery that costs them 50 per cent less than the American farmer must pay , and they put that wheat on the market of the world in competition with the American farmer. The American leaders who have placed the Russian noblemen in a better position to make money from cultivating the land than the American farmer , are traitors to their own country , and how any farmer can believe that they have any claim upon his "loyalty to party , " after they have sold out to the enemy as disgracefullv as Benedict Arnold did to the British is hard to understand. The man of common sense will , when he comes to voting , act as he does in every other business trans action. He will do what is best for his own interests. The man who will vote for the continuance of the present policies , under which the trusts have been born and grown to monsters , simply be cause Abraham Lincoln was a re publican when the issues were en tirely different , certainly abandons the shrewdness that has hitherto characterized the men who have created the wealth of these United States. Let every man vote for his own interests. The national banker , the trust magnate , the railroad manipulator , will each vote for what he considers his own inter ests. Why should not the com mon man do the same thing ? If the common man would vote for his interests and work as hard to get them as the ruling class has done , we would soon have a dif ferent county. The voters of New Zealand did that , and there are no paupers , no unemployed and no swollen fortunes in that country. There is only one of two things that a voter can do in the coming election. He must either vote for Do you realize that in ten days more you will be sending your hey to school ? Are you prepared to send him properly clothed and shod ? This is no hard task to do if you fit him out from our select line of 's ' AND THE FAMOUS Educator" Shoes 'itits ' from $2.50 to $6 , Educator shoes , for boys and girls , lets the fo6t grow as it should.

They will vote for or against any party or man as their own inter ests demand. That is what has enabled them to accumulate those fortunes. That is just what every man should do. Plutocracy has no heroes. It simply seeks mon ey. That should be the thing in these times that every man should do. There may come a time when men should disregard their own economic interest in order to save the .country , but that is not the case now. Humphrey Democrat. Tripp County. S. I > .
