Look'Here, Brother! If you ares
not already a subscribe to tht

an invitation to become one.
Read this paper over and if yot
like it, send us 50 cents for i
years subscription. You will fine
the Y. J. a warm article. Its bus
iness end registers 200 degrees ii
the shade. This paper each weefc
will contain something good and
each succeeding ossue will get bet
ter if it can berymade so. Being a
firm believer in the principles oe
the great party of Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield and McKinley, we will
always be found contending for
fair play, and for the rights, and
liberties of the people, and wag-J
ing an unrelenting battle againstJ
the devil and the so-called Demo
cratic party. We don't only want
vou to become a subscriber, but
we also should be pleased to have
you do a little missionary work a
inong your Republican friends.
You can reach those wnom we
cannot. Take a Y. J. when you
go out from home, and tackle ev
ery Republican you meet and get
him to subscribe. In this way you
will not only be doing us a great
favor, but you will also be aiding
us in reaching the people, and
helping to present the facts of Re
publicanism, which only need to
be understood in order to make
the Republican party so numeri
cally strong, so harmonious and
invulnerable that the tribes of
Bryan, the world, the flesh and the
devil can't overthrow it at the
polls next November.
See all your neighbors and make
up a club of 5 or 10. If you can't
get the club now, send along your
own sub. and try the club later.

We must confess we can't
understand Colonel Bryan's
policy towards the Philippines.
He contends that thev are as
-
much a part of the United
States as the District of Colum-
bia and are subject to the same
laws. Yet he talks about set-
ting up an independent govern-
men t in them.
Please eluci-
date, Colonel.
Senator Hanna's advice, to

and Roosevelt, is good enough
to be accepted aud lonowea Dy
every man who believes in a

Isn'tit time for some demo
crats to discover that the Mon
roe doctrine forbids us to send
troops to China to rescue our
imperiled citizens? Some time
ago, Mr. Lentz discovered proof
of an "alliance" with Orreat
Britain in the fact that Conger
took refuge at the British lega
tion and it. is about time for
some other prize idiot to come
to the front.

The election in North Caroli
na last Thursday under a Goeb-.
el law, aided by terror inspired
by Red Shirts, shot guns and
rotten eggs and the terrible in
fluence by the cry of white su
premacy" produced a democrat
ic majority of anyything from
seventeen thousand to sixtj'-five
thousand. The state is saved
to the democrats. In the Red
Shirt districts, according to the
democratic papers, there was.
no opposition. Republicans
and populists staid at . home
rather than incur bloqdshed by
going .out and voting their hon
est sentiments.
Hi there, ye democratic trust
Tt
cusser. Mold your tongue and,
lend us your ears just a mo
ment. Listen: The quarititv
of tin imported into the- United
States by the Welsh Tin Plate '
Trust in 1893, under the Wilson
free trade regime, was 253, 15o
tons and in 1899, under the
Dingley jDrotective tariff, the
quantity was only 58,915 tons.
It seems that any one who is
more interested in tho welfare
of the nation than he is in par
ty success, could easily, decide
which is the better condition
for the nation to be in. ' Don't
you think so, Mr. Democrat?
Congressman Sulzer, the New
York democrat who so enthu
siastically talked for the Boers,
has been having a good time at
the expense ot the widows and
orphans and maimed and sick
soldiers of the South African
republic. Something over $1,100
was collected from Boer sympa
thisers in New York but when
the banquets, the wine bills and
the travelling expenses of Sulzer
aud his friends and the Boer en
voys were paid the splendid sum
of $18 was left to send to the
needy on the veldts. It is not
always the men who yell the
loudest for liberty that are the
most patriotic nor is it generally
the man who talks most about
liberality that will reach deepest
into his pocket. Lakefield
Minn. Standard.
Another sad situation has
presented itself to the anti-imperialists.
They were a few
days ago sifting on the top rail
and crowing vigorously. They
proposed to do something that
would shake the McKinley ad
ministration to its foundations.
Yes, they were going to run
some great big man for Presi
dent. Thev were sure thev
would settle on Senator Hoar.
ex-President Cleveland or
Snenker Rfifid. "Rnt n.ln.s- Hoar
comes out for McKinley, Cleve
land" opposes a third ticket
and Reed is going to making
republican speeches in Maine.
Now the poor little old antis are
stuck fast in the mud without a
big man for president. It's too
bad that these antis can't find-
some, great leader to help them
save the country and kill , tho !
