TRIUMPHS FOR REPUBLICAN
POLICY.
Tha great and constant gains in the
sales of American manufactured good
in the rest of the world is a magnifi
cent tribute to the foresignt and cour
age of the Republican party. By its
judicious Tariff policy the Republican
party saved a large part ot the Amer
ican market to the American pro
ducer, and this course caused a home
conrpetition which encouraged the in
vention '.vhich has devised labor-sav-
insr annliances. while it- has at the
same time advanced the pay ant
shortened the working hours of the
workers, giving them both' the" time
and the stimulus to the mental im
provement which has made the Amer
ican worker more intelligent than any
other in the world.
Here are the secrets of the increase
in- the sales of American manufac
tuies in Europe and Asia. Ameri
cans have better machinery and more
skillful labor than are found in other
countiiea, England, in seeking a su
perb grade of iron and steel brklges
and the workers who can put them
up in the quickest and the best fash
ion, eomes to the United States for
them. France, Russia and other Eu
ropean countries buy most of their
new locomotives of the higher grades
in the United States.' Thus this coun
try is growing, in a continually in
creasing degree, to he a workshop fer
the world. As a consequence, the
number of idle workers. in the United
States at the present time is smaller
than it ever was before. The country
has attained a higher degree ot pros
perity than ever was known in the
past. Here are triumphs for Repub
lican policy whtch will gain hundreds

THE ELECTION IiJtW.
The Democratic "Machine", that
controlled the Legislature, after
passing the Amendment bi 1, deemed
it niecessary, -in order )to secure its
ratification, to pass a new election
law.: They well knew that under
the old law, whtch was a fair and
honest one, they could not j hope for
success, anu nence tney enapieu an
election law which puts the entire
election machinery! in their hands and
rnakes their partisan registrars the
feole judges of every man s right to
vote, and also the
eatire canvassing
e results, thereby
and returning of tlj
eaabling them,
no matter what the
actual result may be, to-count it in
their favor and annul and defeat the
will of the people. I i ! I
The law is obviously unjust afid
s?d unfair that no fair-minded, honest
and patriotic voter in the State can
endorse it, and all who favor a free
ballot and a fair count cannot support
the party that enacted it and placed
it upon our statute 'books.: In future
issues we will call attention to its
nefarrous tmiirness. I

If they do they must be declared, void.

Did You Ever See a Horse CryT .
Many people bfjlieve that horses do
cot weep, but those who have much to
do with these faithful creatures know
that on several loeeasions they will
shed tears as welllas express sorrow in
the most heartbreaking manner, j In
the west, where rhe hardiness of the
ponies causes the riders to almost over
look the necessity of providing for their
needs, It is qultej common when the
weather Is extremely cold to leavoi an
unblanketed pony
tied up for two; or
the-temperature is
three hours when
nearly zero and
while its owner la
transacting businejss or getting drunk.
In this case the stiff oring is evidenced
by the cries, which are almost like
sobs, and unmistakable tears freeze on
to the cheeks like Icicles. !
When a horse fSjlls in the street and
gets injwsl, th eh'pck generally mrmbe
the senses so much that It does not ei
ther cry or groan, jbut under some con
ditions an injured horse will solicit
Bympathy In the most distinct manner.
I remember a favorite horse of my own
"Which trod on a iail long enough to
pierce its foot. The poor thing hob
bled up to me on three legs and cried
as nearly like a child In trouble as any
thing I can describe.' The sight was a
very touching one, ks was also the crip
pled animal's gratude when the nail
was pulled out andjthe wound dressed.
