When we hear people talk and read in the republican papers so much about McKinleys administra tion being responsible for the bright’ prospects of the country to-day we think of the old lady of whom Mr. Brantley told us the other day: “The old lady was standing in.her door, iooking out on the woods arid fields and she saw a pecker-wood (bird) hammering away on the limb of a gigantic pine-tree with all his mite. Suddenly and without warning a strong-wind sprang up and rushing with tremendous force across the field carried the big pine tree, on which the bird was ham mering, to the ground. In telling about, the incident she always clained that the pecker-wood’s persistent knocking on the tree had caused the mighty monarch of the woods to fall. All kinds of argu ment failed to change her belief, and she -died believing in her theory.” j The illustration cannot be beaten. Anyone who knows anything at all knows that the McKinley adminis tration had nothing to do with making the cotton crop short, and they know, too, that the short crop caused the advance in prices. The peckerwood did about as much or more to cause the tree to fall as did McKinley to cause the cotton price to rise. McKinley’s administration im posed a war-tax or. bank checks, receipts, deeds, papers of all kinds legal transactions which is stick ing on the.inasses long after the pur pose for which it was levied was accomplished. McKinley’s pro- 1 tective tariff places the people of the United States at the mercy of heartless trusts that compell them to pay more for the necessaries of life than any other country on the globe. France, Spain, Germany and other countries in which the people live under the rule of tyrany, excepting Spain, afford a cheaper market for the necessaries of life than does England, and even Eng land with her navies and armies, wars and famines, discounts the prices of the trusts in the United States. It is easy for a man who reads this article to throw' aside the paper and say the writer is a liar, but he lias no proof to clear himself from the charge of libellipus utterances and ground less beliefs. In order to convince the reader of the truth of our argument; we present the following table which compares the American and En glish prices for several trust aricles : American English price. price. Lead, 100 lb. - - 1-1.70 $.<H Smooth wire 1001 b. 3.05 2.50 Barb wire, 100 lb. - 3.70 2.30 Wire nails 100 lb. - - 3.38 2.56 Iron ore ton, - - 6.12)4 5.25 Tin-plate, 100-lb - 4.85 3.60 Sheet steel, - - 2.70 2.07 !

(Portland) bbl. 2.65 1.11 The American pays the higher | price because he has taxed himself Ito exclude from the country the i products of other nations, and give!- ! protection to monied monopilies j that even defy the law makers of I congress. All the items named I above are con ■ trolled by trusts who h; vil no com petition and no conscience in the fixing of prices. The protective ! tariff of which republicans love to brag as the cause of prosperity, would do a great deal of good in this country was it enjoyed by honest competition, but when monopolis | tic robbers are all that receives my benefits from it, the ports should be tiiown open to the world. Larger Representation. ‘Capt. l Ur. E. Park, df Macon, is in favor of having more representa tives from each dotintyin the state. I;or yistapce, a representative to ever/ 3000 indhabitants in a county. This would give a larger rerwentation, and would make ex poses'greater, but Mr. Park pro • ftes to reduce the per diem to ■ /.00 per day. One dollar per day Mi more, than some of them are *vorth„ still, a good man with the interest” Off the country at heart would not be found ya the company of the hoodlums that Would misrep resent their county for even that sum. * \ \ Boss Harina’s Franklin and Iron Ore Mines, \ Y., are -hut \Y--dbt -lav inflH Tack’s barking effects tn^noon^" PAXSON’S 810 + STOCK " *' * • ► , \ 01 Fine Dress, Goods find Fins Glottilna IS NOW ON EXHIBITION AT HIS BIG STORE IN DOUGLAS. | . m Finest Goods ■ \ f*; .*. f * . ; A AND THE .
