Look here, Brother, we want to talk a little husinees ith you. Being a subscriber to the presume that you ere a X.

We take it tha jou know a good thing when you eee it, and that vou are not so selfish as to denv vour neighbor a cood thin when it doesn't cost you anything for him to obtain it. Kow the point we are striking at is this a Do you believe in the doctrine the Yellow Jacket teaches and in the fight it is making? Do you desire to help in defending the cause of Republi canism? If vou do. then tare want to ask you to help circulate the m V. J. a little further amdng your neighbors. You know its politics It speaks for itself.

The republican party has lapsed into its. old habit of paying off the public debt. - We will not issue a paper next week. Bound to take a little Christmas; you know. North Carolina should fol low the. example set by Ky. and refuse to be Simmoniz ed. Gov. Taylor, of Ky.,owes his seat largely to the cool nerve of Gov. Bradley, who ignored the threats of Goe- belites. Of course there may be some honest leaders in the democratic party but it does not pay to go round with a lamp to hunt for them. There is something dread fully wrong with the politi cal party that wants to sad dle a partisan election law on any country. Billy Bryan owes Bill Goe- bel a letter of condolence to offset the half-cocked con gratulation sent by him the day after election. Won't the democrats 1 be in a nation of a fix for some thing to talk about when Aguinaldo. surrenders and Mark Han n a retires Democracy out of power is altogether different from democracy in power. We like democracy best when out. If you come across anyone during - the holidays who wants to subscribe, for the Y, J. take " his subscription and send;it ;tn us.

There are a great many things for you to remember when you go tomakeupyour mind to vote; - One of them The debate on the rpubli is that the most diabolical can currency bill in tlie House election laws we havfe in this country are in democratic states. The democrats nearly all declare that the trusts mam- 1 A 1 !J A A.11 I jy owe tneir existence to me Tariff. The democratic remedy for the trust evil then is ,4tariff reform." But don't you remember that 4ttariff reform' tr that they gave us a few years ago? There wilL be no tariff tin kering during the ' present Congress . The: Dingley law- is fully meeting the expecta tions of those responsible for its enactment and.has proved J a.1' a. a. 1 r I the country generally . And we might add that it is fully confounding its enemies the democrats; Just think of the United States being Mexicahized , of Ky. being Gocbelized, and of m Kentucky was-the skirm North Carolina being Sim- ish line of 1900. He bor- i u rowed the phrase from D.B. class ot the entire feouth be- ing disfanchised and all the rest of the ccutnry pauper- ized and you have a pretty fair conception of the condi tions that would prevail vef the county if we had Bryari ismin its entirety. You bet, ye don t want anything ' of the kind for a hundred years or so yet; Th'e Cleveland administra tion had v to 5sell bonds in time of peace. The repub lican administration is now buying bonds in time of war.' A man who can't see where republicanism beats democra cy in this respect hasn't got sense enough to pound sand in a rat-hole. Republican policies bring prosperity to the country. Democratic policies bring calamity in solid chuncks. The people have tried it and they know it to be so. A' burnt child dreads the fire."

They seem to be afflicted with a diarrhoea bf words and a constipation of ideas. Little Rock Ark. Stati Republican. Aguinaldo's capitol is like Bryan's capital all wind. The job is hunting the man right along, yet Bryan- ites still harp on 4labor be ing ground down by the pe topusi ' ' Wcll the republicans couldn't ask anything better. , But say, isn t it funny that the fduckoo democratic papers are now lauding the biggest thief since a weed Bryan said the campaign is airieht. The question is. how does he like the out- come of the skirmish. We want prie thousand new subscri bers to the Y . J. by the 15 of Feb., 1900 mat s wnat we go. If the, democ rat s stand right where they did in 1896 and the same, issues and con ditions confront the country, why are the democratic ora tors not bringing up some of Ltheir old a r ruments? rDun 's and Bradstreet reports of business failures for instance. II they were good: arguments then , vyhy not mention them now. ... What is the . matter boys? Has Mark Hanna gobbled up ; the 4 'failures ' ' too? . , -; North Carolina democracy mil s t be getting near th e bed rock of political degradation . Only a very few democratic sheets in the state have so far disclosed to their readers the actions of the Georgia Legislature in its almost unanimous disapproval of the. Hard wick disfranchising Billr a twin brother to the Simmons Disfranchising Scheme of; Nortlii ; (Carolina . Th is means one of two th ings. Either these papers are hyp notised by Bull Pen Simmo ns or they are ashamed to let their readers know that they are aavpcating a measure that the democratic legisla ture of Ga. looked upon as being so infernally corrupt that they voted it down by 137 to 3. During the last few days the wages of 56,700 opera tives in the Fall River, Low ell and N!ew Bedford mills have been advanced 10 per cent, At the south a number of mills have also made ad vances in wages , and then couldn't Secure the help they needed. In the iron mills like advances in wages have been made. Many of them now have more orders on ' hand than they will be able to fill all next year. These facts teach a story of pecu liar truth and " significance. They teach the careful stu dent that there is something in republican policies more than the Pree-Tradrs or tariff reformers have ever been will ing to admit. We never had such a rush in these branches of business under democratic tariffs. Although the democrats de nounce the present tariff a thief and a robber, yet there is plenty in it to pay the peo ple to keep it.' Let lis have a whole lot more; of such robbers and a little - less of the democracy. -
