But we herewith enter a solemn and emphatic protest against try- 4 4. i:U ILifi, VVJ ll.VC UUDUIUICIJ Jll (ill. 1 can use a good deal of air, but we need, and must have,. a little cash. As a means to obtain this cash, we propose to increase our subscrip tion list to the Yellow-Jacket. A- bout the only available way to in crease this list successfully and rapidly In through the prompt and hearty cooperation of our Republi can friends those who believe in the principles of the great party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Mc Kiuley. Now, brother, will you cooperate with us? That is will you spend a little time in helping to put the paper in the hands of all your Republican friends? Take this copy when you go out from home, and don't let up on a R-e publicar until you have secured his subscription. If he is too, poor to subscribe, pay it yourself.1 By so doing you will not only be mak ing that fellow happier, but you will also ,be aiding us in presenting the factd of Republicanism, which y - only need, to ov Known ,oy tne . i - - . i j i. people to make tne itepnniican party so harmonious andinvulner able thafi the tribes of Bryan, the world, tr e flesh and the devil can't overthro v it in 1900. If you lavea Republican friend living in i distant county or state, subscribe for Him or send us his ad- dress that we may mail him sam ple copies. The .Yellow-Jacket is not a lo cal paper nor the organ ofany district or section , but circulates overall tie states and advocates only Republican doctrines. Now, brother Republicans, we want to hear from you with some '- rousing big clubs X Billy Bryan and Aguinaldo, Grover Cleveland and Andy Carnegie are all "agin" expansion. It is said that Bob Ingersoll knows better than to lecture, in a city like Chicago, against the existence of a hell. x Croker, the Tammany leader of New York City, says free sil ver is a dead issue. Croker be lieves in expansion. That fellow who named Gro ver Cleveland as the democratic candidate for President ouirht to be chucked into the insane asylum. The war has ended, winter will soon be over, and the cam paign of 1900 is nearly in sight and what is to hinder you from doing some hustling for the Yellow-Jacket? The men who fed our brave boys on rotten beef in the past war may escape without due punishment in this world but they are good for a genuine roast in the next. We used to think there wrere some fixed principles or redeem ing traits about Democracy, but if the Lord will forgive us for having such thoughts we'll try not to be so reckless any more. We would like to know how manv readers there are of the Yellow-Jacket who would take the paper if it was changed to a weekly at 50 cents a year. Let's her from you, boys, on this mat ter. It is strange that many dem ocratic newspapers would be naming Dewey and Cleveland and Lee as suitable candidates for President. What is the matter with Billy Bryan ?y We thought he was their man. The republican party knows how to do things. If it don't manage Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines to better advan tage than the democrats did the United States under Grover we'll agree to eat a peck of dirt and sleep on the fence two weeks. We don't wonder at Billy Bryan being "feruinst expan- . -r-r j ' l -i "I ' TT;i - .1 siou-. xie iouna uuiuju States too dopned big for him in 1896 and wrere he to tackle it in 1900 with Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines hitched on, there wouldn't be a greesy spot of Billy left in the pan, . 1 The Yellow-Jacket is openly in favor of expansion of its subscription list. Just tell Mr. Bryan that . you saw him, but that you don't want any more of his old saw. And now the question arises, is Mr. Bryan still running for President? Congressman Dingley is dead but the Dingley Tariff Bill will live on. As an issue for the democrats next year we'd suggest this : Re solved, that the earth is either round or flat. If a democrat tells you he loves his party for its principles, ask him which one of its princi ples.' The "embalmed beef" busi ness should be allowed to die and its managers should be compelled to die with it. The Free-Trade advocates haven't much horse sense but they make up for this by having -more impudence and "gas than anything else on earth. If Thomas Jefferson was as many kinds of a man as the different varieties of democrats sav he was, he muse have been what the Texan man would call "a devil of a fellow.' If all the physical force that has been wasted in this country in long winded speeches on low tariff had been applied to the plow handles our country would to day be out of debt and we'd be the happiest people on earth. We read in a paper today that silver democracy was growing. Just let her grow, boysv One thiner is certain, the record of o ' the democratic party can't be silver plated heavy enough to keep out, the smell. A south Carolina paper pro poses Bryan and Cleveland as the Democratic candidates for Pres: and Vice, in 1900, on an anti-expansion platform. Why not? Anti-expansion would do them as well as anything. The war investigation com mittee has developed the fact that there are some men draw ing salaries from the govern ment who ought to be either shot or given a life sentence in the penitentiary. You may be a Republican, all right, but a good way tosliow your colors is to get up a club for this paper. - The Raleigh, N. C. News and Observer says Bryan grows stronger every day. So does a dead horse. Papers that point with "gbul ish glee" to the " Dingley defic- it" are bent on mischief and willinsr to decieve their readers. We havd remembered the Maine, but a great many. people don't seem to remember, that the Yellowr -Jacket is 15 cents a vear. The democratic party today is floundering about like a frog in a bowl of milk and is stand ing absolutely on nothing. It is neither for gold nor silver ; for expansion nor against it ; for Protection nor Free Trade. The old critter is very badly run down at the heels and every where else, and what it heeds most is a rest for several hun dred years and a fewr million bottles of "Lost Manhood Re stored." The February .Issue - of ' tli Yellow-Jacket will be a hum mer. It will contain nearly double the amount of reading usually given in the paper, and will, be the red-hottest Yellow- Jacket that was ever issued. A mong the leading articles will be A Letter from the Devil, A Democratic Prayer, Eli Tucker on Expansion, and The Demo cratic Party in a Fix, also many letters from our readers all over the United States. This No. will also contain a cut of-the editor with a sketch of his life and first experience with printer's - ink. The February No. will be read by over fifteen thousand people. The North Carolina demo cratic legislature is a double barrel honey. In the last cam paign one of the great howls made by the democrats was that the republicans had not reduced taxation. and had increased ap propriations. They promised reform in everything. All un necessary places in the, legisla ture were to be abolished from chief clerk to spittoon cleaner. At this writing the same old places are all filled and the em ployes are getting the same oi4 price . We are also told by the leading democratic organs of the s'tate that the people must not expect this legislature to reduce taxation and they must not ex pect it" to reduce appropriations. r. - ' . . 4 4 ' ' v-
