C TO OUR READERS, Well, boys, young ana old, one and all, we want to ask you to read this number of the Yellow Jacket, a toizard, and then ask yourselves i don't think such a paper, every over rom you two weeks, is worth 50 cents a year to every republican from Maine to Mexico who loves the teachings of Lincoln; G rant, Garfield and McKinley and who bel eves in callincr a spade a spade at all times. If you think it is -worth the price asked, then'we would be very 'grateful to if you. will take this paper with when you go to the store, shop, or and show it to ' all your rep ub you you mill lean friends who do not taJce.it.-, It you are a republican of the true faith! we know you can't object to doing this much in the interest of a paper that j has een faithfully battling for your rights rom the time it was founded in those lark days of poverty, rags and free soup in 1895. You can do more for republican ism and the interest of the Yellow Jacket by showing the paper to all your friends than we can do by sending j out a million sample copies promiscuously. It sometimes happens that! you will " "- - I ! find men professing to be republican who take nothiner but democrati papers. Such men are on the broa road to political ruin. Don't, let hem go this way if you can help it. Pu the Y. J. in their hands. It will ' help Jiem to see things as they are. You l:now the average democrat would se ; us almost at the devil before he would take our natters to the exclusion of dem- 'JT " t. . ... ocratic sheets. ' ' f The fact that the election is over that the republican party Has -vton sicTial victorv over democracy is 0 . . . reason why you should not want to encourage the circulation of the Y Jacket. We will want to win again and the best time to -Drerjare for war is in time of peace. Of course the demo crats are about dead for the present bui they hayn't found it out yet, so tl will continue to kick up a great deal pi sand during the next four f years. Especially will the . mud- guns of ( the democratic press be very aggressive 1: their efforts to .malign the policies o: our President- Alreadv thev are a wprk. The Y. J; will pay its respect to these and all other .fakes, . frauds and humbugs in its own peculiar style, j - We have .adopted this bi-weekly form of the Y. J. in order to give Jus time in which to thoroughly prepare each article for print and with a view of rig this bi-weekly- the ideal of j republican papers in the South land. ! j We hope that every reader of this article may feel interest enough ir ; the cause of republicanism to comply fwith the above suggestion, by devoting 1 few spare moments in introducing the Y. J. to your republican : friends : who never saw the paper. Let us not neglec :. our party papers now that a great victory has been won. Truly andlindeejd all seems well to-day, but remember we must keep our signal lights a-buning, and look ahead for the political dangers that lurk in forgetf ulness and careless ness. Let us not turn back for an; in stant. It is not enough to be awake; we must keep awake. It is hot 'enough to look ahead; we must go ahead and keep ahead.' ,. '' . ;-. , , V-! v , Remember the Yellow Tacket is not a local paper, nor the organ of any district or section, but circulates in everv coun- try where the stars and stripes float and is always republican and always Ameri can.

According to the democratic theory the Tariff is the mother of trusts over in Free-Trade England. There were not quite so many trusts when the democrats" were in power, but how about the soup houses? 4 "Why, oh! why, should I have lost my grip just when everybody else was get ting ready to get his?"

Its chief advantage seems to be that it enables him to pay old debts ; by con tracting new ones. In his speech at Chicago the other day MrT Bryan said the unexpected, increase in gold, was what brought about good times. Just a few weeks ago Mr. Brjan also said we had no prosperity.

Few people realize ! how much Uncle Sam benefits by the enormous transac tion in Wall Street nowadays. The daily income from the stamp taxes on sales of stock averages some $40,000 . f i . It has often been asserted that , the British had no saving sense of humor, and the enthusiasm of the reception to Ivord Roberts in the existing state of affairs goes far to prove it. Senator Tillman says that he .and! Bryan are the hottest sort of friends, and that the story that they are at log gerheads is a fake. Another hope gone! for the regeneration of the democracy! t is wonderful how the little ones FcometqA absorb this new democratic! doctrineiFor instance . it is said that) some school children .now insist that! theyVshould not be governed without! . 1 1 their consent. . .

Here is an offer that should interest each and every sub- scriber to the Yellow Jack-1 et. We desire to treble' our present circulation ' within the next few weeks, and in order to help do this we make the following very liberal offer to every person who is now, or ever has been, a subscriber to this paper. If you are now a; subscriber , secure us tw9 f . 12-month subscriptions at 50 cts. each and we will mark your time up ! one year from the date your subscription expires, or if - your . subscription is ; out send us the two subscrip tions and we will send you the paper one year free. In either case you will receive the Yellow Jacket : 12 months for the- small trouble of getting the two subscriptions. This is the y. ' most liberal offer we ever made, and we hope every subscriber , new and, old, will take advantage of it and of the desperate caseT ed by the Noiin Bill Goebel and W. J. Bryan. According to the Puritan rule one ignoramus governs another."! . The Mt. Olive Advertiser has discov- ereu a reason lor our nara times" in the South as it cails them, without lay mg the blame on old man Hanna. Some of its reasons are as follows: We let our timber rot and buy fencing. we thro w our ashes and grease away and buy soap. We raise yellow dogs and buy hogs. We let our manure go to waste and buy commercial fertilizer on tick. We send our boys out with a $40 gun and a $10 dog to hunt five-cent birds. We oppose every plan to up build our town and hen wonder why we do not prosper. Wages of rail road workers are now $2.50 a day and board, turnout the west double what this form of labor has commanded in past years. On top of this employment agencies are having to send to the eastern States to secure men to work on the tracks in Wyoming, Nebraska aod Utah. In the midst of such- conditions it seems like Br van would be tempted to drop the Commoner and take to the woods. The New England FreeTrade League desires to furnish Republican papers a series of articles which it says will dem onstrate that Protection is responsible lor the formation of trusts in the United States. To hades with your "demon strations." If you want to "demonstrate" something real bad suppose you demon strate how the Standard Oil trust, or rubber trust or American ice trust were benefitted by Protection with coal oil, rubber and ice on the free list. Show up or shut up. For December, 1900, the .total re ceipts of the United States were $46, 846,508, an increase as compared with December, 1899, of -$87,404. The expen ditures for the month were $40,204,622, which leaves a surplus f or the month of ;6,64i,886. During the last six months he receipts amounted to $291,841,861, jas against $284,793,494 .for the corre sponding period last year. The expen- llitures during the last six months ag gregated $273,094,155, as against $263,- 1766,560 for the corresponding period in X899. . V Ever and anon we receive letters from subscribers in certain localities com plaining that they don't receive every ssue of the Yellow Jacket and asking as to look after the matter. This troub le undoubtedly rests with some P. M. br postal clerk in or near the locality trom whence these complaints come. iWe know the fault is not in our office. Every issue is out on time and mailed promptly. The wrappers for each is sue are made out from our subscription fbooks by a clerk whose business it is to ttend to that matter, and then the apers are made up by states in separate bags. We want every one who pays , 'or the Yellow Jacket to get it. It is :o our interest to help see to it that he loes. Uncle Sam recognizes the Y. J. md admits it into his mails at pound , ates and if there be in his employ any ?. M. or postal .clerk who is- throwing it ut he should be kicked out in short or- erand punished besides. We ask that tach one of our subscribers, who is con- inually missing his paper, make c out a tatement of the same and forward it to the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Gen- ral, Division of Post Office Inspector hnd Mail Depredation, Washington, CD. C. By so dping we believe the source 'of the trouble can be located and conse quently removed." . "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Here it is at last. If you would have old things made new, would see the gray hairs and wrinkles of . age ob literated, thetraces of sorrow removed, the dark places of life made radiant with light, and would see the drug stores of creation converted into dry goods emporiums and tne wnoie meaicai fraternity transf ormed "into a tottering monument of a lost and useless science, then go to laughing.

If you don't feel benefitted by the ex periment cnarge tne cost ot tne remeuj to the account of Rev. Frank Crane, who recently set forth the following , eoicrrams at a wnoiesaie aruggit.t- association in Chicago: , Man is the only animal tnat was mauc to laugh; and as science teaches , that a laugh is a sure boon to health, it is a sin for us to substitute excessive drug-taking for laughter - . . Laughter increases the blood circula tion. It enlarges the heart. It expands the lungs. It jiggers the diaphram. . It promises the dioculation of the spleen.
