JUDGED BY WORKS.
A political party must be judged by
what it does, not by what any num
ber of its voters may want done, but
can't get done. No man of sense ques
tions for a minute that the average Re
publican is a. patriotic citizen. If a vote
of the party could be taken tomorrow
there is every reason to believe that a
large majority would be given in favor
of justice to Cuba, a revision of the
tariff so as to deprive monopolies of its
shelter, and a thorough going enforce
ment of the Sherman Anti-Trust law.
But it happens that the voters of the
Republican party no longer shape the
policies of their party. That business
is taken out of their hands by the
leaders who control legislation at
Washington. These leaders and the
preying plutocracy which commands
them are aware that among the Repub
lican masses there exist discontent,
restiveness, and protest. But so long as
the Republican masses will take fine
professions of patriotic purpose as an
offset to evil deeds, and accept vague
platform promises of good deeds in the
future, no matter what the recent
actual party performances may have
been, the Republican masses may be
as discontented as they choose, and as
restive and as protesting, yet they will
be no better off. If you want a per
petuation of trust domination continue
to vote the Republican ticket, for the
strength of the combined trusts which
govern the United States today lies
chiefly in the political partisanship of
the Republican masses a partisanship
made up of habit, sentiment, and in
herited or acquired fondness for a
party name, regardless of what that
party has really come to stand for.
THEN AND NOW.
The best way to arrive at whether
the average man is better off today
than he was in 1897, is to figure the cost
of living today as compared with that
time together with wage earning ca
pacity at that time as compared with
now. A bill of goods consisting of salt,
sugar, spool cotton, sole leather,
bleached sheetings, dress goods, kero
sene oils, axes, and other things which
cost at wholesale in 1897 $43.04, cost
$55.35. If we add to these wholesale
prices 33 1-3 for retailers profits (and
this is anexceedingly small addition for
such profits) we find that the retail
price of this bill of goods in 1897 was
$57.39, and that the identical articles
in 1901 cost $73.79. This would require
about ten days extra work to pay for
the bill over 1897. If on the other hand
it was a farmer who bought the bill
it required seventy-two bushels of
wheat to pay for it in 1897, while in
1901 it required one hundred and two
bushels to pay for the same bill.
The Republican Campaign Text Book
is silent as to reciprocity with Cuba. It
is afraid to make any pretensions along
that line. Those who made it known
full well that the administration's
words are not backed up by deeds and
is silent. The utmost reference to Cuba
is contained in the assertion that the
ground work of a Republican form of
government has been laid in Cuba
under a Republican policy. But what
of the failure of Congress to furnish
the new government with the means
of making that experiment a success?
What of the policy of McKinley which
President Roosevelt at Schenley Park
affirmed would be carried out "as sure
as fate." With half a dozen of the lead
ing Republican state conventions de
claring unqualifiedly for the Presi
dent's policy, why should the Con
gressional Campaign Committee over
look the necessity of discussing that
issue with the people.
The Beef Trust confesses that there
has been blacklisting and a restraining
of trade, but it turns around and in an
off-hand way says, "What are you
going to do about it?" No one has seen
any real signs of Mr. Knox's doing
anything about it.

NO ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE.
The bill providing for the adoption
of one cent postage instead of two.
on all first-class mail matter will not
become a law, because the loss of
revenue to the government would be
too great. It is good policy to guard
against losses of any kind, but es
pecially against the loss of your
health. For this purpose Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters should be taken, be
cause it will strengthen the stomach,
perfect the digestion and keep the
bowels open, thus protecting you froni
all sickness. If, however, you have
lost your health and suffer from head
ache, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa
tion or biliousness, you need the Bit
ters at once, because it is a specific
remedy for these ailments, and will
cure you. Try a bottle and see for
yourself.
