C Entered at Moravian Falls, N Second Class Mail Matter TO OUR READERS. Well, boys, young and old, one and all, we want to ask you to read over this number of the Yellow Jacket, from a to izard, and then ask yourselves if you don't think such a paper, every two weeks, is worth 50 cents a year 10 every republican from Maine to Mexico who loves the teachings of Lincoln, j Grant, Garfield and McKinley and who relieves in calling a spade a spade at all ' times. If you think it is worth the prio s asked, then we would be very grateful to you k if you will take this paper wi th you when you go to the store, shop, or mill and show it to all your republican friends who do not take itj If ; on are a republican of the true faith w 2 know you can't object to doing this much in the interest of a paper that h is. been faithfully battling for your righ ;s from the time it was founded in thoi e dark days of poverty, rags and free 1 soup in 1895. You can do more for rep lblican ism and the interest of the Yellow Jacket by showing the paper to ; ill your friends than we can do by send ing out a million sample "copies promiscuously. It sometimes happens that y au will find men professing to be republicans who take nothing but! democratic papers. Such men are on the' broad road to political ruin. Don't let them go this way if you can help it. Put the Y. J. in their hands. It will he p them to see things as they are.1 Y01 1 know the average democrat would see us almost at the devil before he would .take our papers to the exclusion of dem- . ocratic sheets. The fact that the election is oyer' and that the republican party has; won a signal victory over democracy is no reason why you should not want to help encourage the circulation of theh Yellow Jacket. We will want to win again, . , and the best time to prepare for j war is . in time of peace. Of course the demo crats are about dead for the prei ent but they havn't found it out yet, so they will continue to kick up a great deal of , sand during the next j four j years. Especially will the mud' gun 1 of the democratic press be very aggre ssive in their efforts to malign the policies of our President. Already j they are at work. The Y. J. will pay its re spect to these and all other fakes, fra ids and humbugs in its own peculiar stj le. We have adopted this bi-wee sly form of the Y. J. in order to give m time in which to thoroughly prepare ea rn article for print and with a view ofij making this bi-weekly the ideal j of republican papers in the Southland, j . We hope that every reader article may feel interest enougl of this in the cause of republicanism to comply with the above suggestion, by devoting a few spare moments in introducing the Y. J. to your republican friends who never saw the paper. Let us not neglect our party papers now -that a j great victory has been won. Truly and indeed all seem -well frwlav. but remember we must keen our sienal lisrhts . a-burning, Viaoi f rT -noUticfll dancers that lurk in f orgetf ulness and I : careless ness. Let us not turn back for I an in stant. It is not enough to be awake; we must keep awake. It is not enough to look ahead; we must go ahead and keep ahead. , Remember the Yellow Tacket is not local paper, nor the organ of any district or section, but circulates in every coun try where the stars and stripes float and is alwava rennblican and always Ameri- L 1 C, as I can. 4. EDITORIAL. Bryanism means expanding back wards. Buying up bonds beats tinkering with the tariff 16 to 1. Keep it in mind that the democratic party redeemed its promises with soup. Coxey says he is too busy to read the Commoner. And there are others. Killing the trusts with Free-Trade fa like eating onions to sweeten the breath. Bryanitis is a terrible disease, but it is not as catching as it used to be. The only ill wind that blows us no good is the Free-Trade wind. General prosperity and democratic rule never prevailed in this country at the same time. About the only road left for the ca lamity howler to take is the road to the woods. We want no "tariff reform." That which the democrats fixed up in 1893 has not quit smelling bad yet." Democracy is in a auandarv. It can1 live without expanding and it can't ex- j til a. 1 If you see a man who yells niererer at the advocate of fair elections, put him down as a democrat. UUlUiUOUUU The more imperialism this country has like President McKinley is giving, the bettex it will be for the people. A Fourth of July Oration by Tobe Soilkins will aopear in the next issue of the Yellow Jacket. Subscribe to-day. The days of deficits are over and a re publican administration is paying off the democratic indebtedness as it always has done. President McKinley . says, positively, that he would not accept a 1 third nomi nation. Now what is : Col. Br an going to do about it? We want an agent for ; the Yellow Jacket at every post office in the United States. Good commission. Send stamp for outfit. The best place to test the merits of a party is from the standpoint of the man who gets his bread by the sweat of his brow. Eli Tucker is writing a letter to Wil liam Jennings Bryan which will appear in the next issue of the Yellow Jacket. Don't miss it. The longer we study democracy the more it reminds us of a Mother Hubbard dress, as it covers up everything and touches no place. Repealing the tariff to get rid of trusts is about as sensible a 'move' as a man's blowing off his head to get rid of paying poll tax. It is exoected that the next issues f r he Yellow Tacket will 1 put at least five thousand moss-backs on the mourn ers bench. ? . We believe that there are many demo crats who would rather hold on to the tail end of progress and; squall whoa than to own a mile square m heaven It's making the democratic party sweat like blazes to keep the more enlightened and progressive element thereof from breaking into the republican camp. It is believed that enough planks can be re-used from the Chicago and Kan sas City platforms to make a good stout coffin for the democratic jackass in 1904. Instead of going to South . Carolina to take a hand, in the Tillman McLaurin mix-up, William Jennings should take something for the meddler's itch. It is to be hoped that the sweet girl graduates will now take hold and re lieve their mothers of some of the hard work they hajre been doing for so long. Two rivers in Alaska bear the names of Bryan and McKinley, respectively. The former is said to be a noisy stream with a big mouth, " while the latter is quiet and peaceful. The glorious achievements of McKin ley will live in the hearts.of the people long after the grasshoppers of democra cyfcave held high carnival over the neg lected grave of Bryanism. L A Yankee has discovered a new pro cess of making butter by forcing wind into the milk. Perhaps this was brought about by holding a democratic conven tion in a creamery, . j It beats seven kinds of devils how Bryan is afraid of things. He is now afraid . that the Supreme Court will change "our form of government. In 1896 he was afraid of 10-cent corn. Here's an appropriate plank for the next national democratic platform: Resolved, that we are stuck up in the blue mud of political pollution and we don't give a darn who knows it." Indeed this is an age df progress. Doctors now take out men's stomachs without hurting them. Let us hope that science will go on till she learns how to painlessly extract the voices' - of some of our leather-lunged calamityites. 7 The regular price of the Yellow Jacket is 50 cents per year, but we want to add 50,000 new subscriptions on our books im mediately, and for that reason have reduced the subscription price when sent in clubs of three or more. We ask you to assist Jus in getting the 50,000 new subs.. If you think the Yellow Jacket is a good thing, help push it along. Instead of sending us 50 cents for your own subscription, it will pay you, as well as us, to go in with your neighbors and form a club and all get the paper at a reduced .figure. The more subscribers we have the less, proportionately, it costs us to get out each paper. After Jnly 31st, .the Yellow Tacket will wholesale at the same old price, but till then we will accept subscriptions as follows: a r1"h of THREE, one vear. for &1.00 1 I' F TtV nf T?OTTR or more, remittance by stfsterfcd If what the Clevelandites and the Bryanites are saying about. each other is true, there is no democratic party these days, but the old thing has gone to seed and the seed have rotted. And it almost looks like it. If a man who has been twice elected, refuses to run again, what should be done with the man who has been twice defeated? asks an exchange. We sug gest that he should be well spanked and put to bed. The way the democratic papers are slobbering over representative Babcock ought to make the republicans afraid of him. Find out what the democrats want in the tariff line and then oppose it, and you can always feel safe. - Now that the democratic newspapers have discovered that President McKin ley is a Free-Trader, the next thing thev mav reveal to the public that the President holds a secret commission as dmiral in the Spanish navy. Kansas farmers are advertising for aborers at two dollars a day. Why don't they apply to William Jennings for the whereabouts of that "army of idlers" that he said would be .tramping about demanding work if McKinley was elected? A Kansas soldier boy, just returned from the Philippines, has a dog named Iwilliam Jennings Bryan. "When I (found the dog in the brambles of Luz- rzon." says the boy, "he was barking like h 1, and had chased 16 monkeys up one tree." ' ' ; ! '". -;' . . Jaykayjone's cotton bale trust has been declared by the courts to be an il legal combination, j Jim Kay is high-muck-a-muck of the whole democratic fandango and string puller for Willie Jumpup. Commoner please print with comments on this fact; ... V Make V der or Re William Jennings says he wants the man to be more important than the dol lar. Since Col. has been able to do so little with the man, perhaps the only chance he sees of his keeping the man superior to the dollar is to cut the dollar in two. '' " :--:--.-':--' Get up, shake yourself and look all a boutyou and " contrast the conditions under the Dingley and McKinley bills with that under the Mills and Wilson bills, and think what a chump it is that desires to go to "tinkering with the tar iff" along the Babcock line. . Dowie, the jointer legged jumping jack of Chicago, who claims to be the prophet Elijah come back to earth third time, declares he can make the the cows give milk. If he desires to score a big hit, let him make the dairymen sell it unwatered. The democratic party it seems, is pre paring to make its next campaign on the same lines .it swept the country with in 1892. Now let the republicans take for their defense a review of the re sults of the '92 .victory and the voters will do the rest. Six hundred school teachers are on their way to the Philippines and the . volun teers are all coming home. Thus the work of "benevolent assimilation" goes one vear. 30 cents for each sub. check, Money Or- Letter. Stamps not merrily on. No wonder an occasional Atkinsonite can be heard to passionate ly exclaim: "D - the luck." A St. Louis repeater has been sen tenced to the penitentiary for two years, but the man who hired him to ' repeat runs free. This is not right. Vote thiev ery is just like any other thievery, and the man who accepts a leg of mutton, knowing it to be stolen, is as mean as the man who stole the sheep. It's not a campaign year, but never theless, take a spin around your neigh borhood and see how many subscribers you can secure for the Yellow Jacket. Everybody can afford to take such a paper in an "off year" in order to be "cocked and primed" when the politi cal pot gets to boilin'. Republicanism and democracy are both levellers, but they work differently. The democratic "party levels things down and the republican party levels things up, or in other words it fills the treasury and reduces debt while demo cracy empties the treasury and increas es debt. In some sections'of mthe South farm hands are offered two dollars a day to hoe corn and cotton and can't be got for that figure. The man who yells calam ity these days is in a poor business and ought to be dipped in a tank of tar, loaded into a sewer pipe and shot thru a feather bed as a reward for cussedness. We heard a little snide of a democ remark the other day that educational suffrage was the thing. That's demo cratic logic, but it won't do. Manhood suffrage is the thing. There are plenty of men who are illiterate yet good citizens, and there are lots of fellows who can speak a half dozen languages who are scoundrels and ought to be in the penitentiary making gimlet hand les. ; , RATES. - tr When a democrat gets to croT7icT round you about the odious principle of a Protective tariff, and priding him self on belonging to a party that hns always contended that protection is eternally wrong, just remind the inno cent little thing that if he wants to find an ultra protectionist he will have to go back to his Political daddy, Thomas Jefferson, who wished that the Atlantic might be a lake of fire to keep out foreign goods. A. L. Hardman, post master of Burnt House, W. Va;, asks the Yellow Jacket to give him some figures on the sheep industry. He says some of his demo cratic neighbors are giving him "gosh1 about prices. Just tell the boys that th. sheep industry has increased 71.44 per cent from 1896 to 1900- and 121.59 per cent in value. That is the difference between Free-Trade and Protective times. If this don't satisfy these fellows, go for them with a stuffed club. Since the democratic party is not wil ling to have the moss scratched off its back, we suppose an issue on "tariff re form" would fit its case about as - well as anything. . They have got to have some old thing for an issue. You see free silver is dead; anti-expansion ia dead; smash the trusts is worn out; anti-imperialism was still-born; nigger domination is too short a blanket to cover up the sins and devilment of the democratic party with, without allowing one or both ends to "stick out." Bry an's appeals to class prejudice don't seem to strike a sympathetic chord in the hearts of those whom he is trying to keep in line; Altgeld's anarchism has demonstrated its inability to get enough people together to hold a political pray er meeting at a cross roads speaking. Let them trot out the "tariff reform" if they feel like it, but the republican ele phant promises them it will go thru it like the grace of God thru a Methodist campmeeting, when the proper tlmo comes. The Yellow Jacket is in receipt of a letter . from the Agricultural Department at Raleigh asking us whether Wilkes county has anything to show up with at the Charleston expo sition this winter. Well, we should snigger, she has. We've got a freak up here that we challenge the world, from Dan to Bersheba, and from the Rivers to the end of the earth, to pro duce its like. It's a democratic paper published at Wilkesboro, N. C, which is so violently afflicted with the demo cratic scratches that it is even attributing the frosts and floods, the small pox and the cholera morbus to the republican administration. Re plying to an editorial in the Yellow Jacket as to what the republicans have done, it says they have (these are its very words) "sent floods and fires and epidemics - and then plastered what little bit was left, with tax levies, mortgages, executions and stamp taxes, with never a cent to pay them." If the authorities consider this freak worth placing on exhibition, and will write us, we will send them the copy containing this outrage on reason and insult o com mon sense, by return mail. ' A story is told of an old lady who never spoke ill of any one. "Why, she would have a good word for the devil himself," said an acquaintance. When this remark was repeated to the old lady referred to, she said: "Well, we might imitate him with profit in his persistence. ' ' We can say the same for the advocates of Free-Trade and tariff reform. Nothing daunts them. Unfulfilled prophecies do not dampen their zeal Facts, though they contradict Vheir carefully wrought theories, mean nothing to them. 'Four years more of Grover" and Free-Trade they told us would make the land flow with milk and honey and we would all be in clover. Well, you remember the 'clover." This did not daunt these fej ows. They went right on -and told ud hat "bad as things were, they would be rorse if the country returned to Protcc ion. They failed in prophesies again. ?u thev are still nroohesvinjr. Their ersistence is most admirable, but thtrs .. J , - . - ' exhibited a woeful lack of good, every day common horse sense. Ha
