In these times of trust prosperi
ty let the man with a fixed inoome,.
such as clerks and wage-earnera,
whose incomes do not increase
with the increase in the cost of
living, ask themselves how much
of the prosperity they are getting
out of the times. If the answer
is satisfactory then let them con
tinue to vote the republican tioket
and “Btand pat” with the trusts ,
who are shouting that in their
battle cry in the campaign that is
approaching. Let them “stand
pat” and continue to “let well
enough alone,” and they will con
tinue to pay high price for their
living and their salary and wages
will continue to stay in the same
place. A' vote for the democratic
ticket means that much nearer the
time when the tariff wall will be
reduced and the cost of living re
duced with it. A vote for the re
publican ticket means , that the
trusts and cormorants will con
tinue to rule and that price will
be shoved up a notch every time
they get the chance. The people
mayatake their choice.
We want to see Vienna have a good
steam laundry. Oar people are getting ■'
sorely tired of the existing eondlttoas
at this senson of the year in getting
washing done. A good laundry that
would charge reasonable prioes per
month for each family could get a large
amount of work to do, and even If the
prices were a little higher there would -
not be half the worry. .Let us organise
a stock company and solve the clothes ;
washing problem in Vienna for all
future time—in or out of cotton season.
