DeMocrATIC administrations are al-
ways “lean” years.
RoOSEVELT’S beliefs are known;
Parker's are as vague and conflicting
as the declarations of his party.
Tue Democratic candidate for. Con-
gress from Alabama who recommended
the assassination of the President will
undoubtedly be elected.
MeN who favor President Roosevelt's
policies should remember that they
can be carried out only by the election
of a Republican Congress.
Tue Democratic candidate for Con-
gress may evade the tariff issue while
on the stump, but he always votes
against protection after he is elected.
EvERy speech that Bryan makes to
his old Populist allies is notice to the
friends of sound money that the only
safety lies in the election of a Republi-
can President and a Republican Con-
gress.
Democrats have practically aban-
doned Parker, but they will make a
desperate effort to capture the House.
Make the Republican victory complete
and effective by electing the Republi-
can Congressional ticket.

Mississippr is a good example of
Democratic rule. It has 70 cents in
the treasury, and during the past year
had 596 murders within its boundaries,
and yet the people .are asked to turn
over the control of the Federal Govern-
ment to the Southern wing of the Dem- |

oeratie party.
Free trade and Democratic so-called
“low tariff” means ultimate free trade
—means not’ only free trade with
Europe, but free trade with the starv-
lings of India—with the keen Japanese,
who live on rice and salt fish, and with.
all the underpaid labor of the world.
THE “cheapness” that our Democratic
free trade friends are seeking means:
an ultimate cheapness of men, in in-
feriority of citizenship, a cheapness that
submits men to squalor of living. In
order to cheapen goods.for the moment
they would cheapen our institutions.
NearLy all of the corsets worn by
American women are now made by
American workmen, owing to the oper-
ation of the Dingley tariff laws. Still,
the Democrats do not consider that
good form. They believe in squeezing
all the women by the old-fashioned
arm method, and that’s really the only
good thing the Democrats believe in.
During the period that the free trad-
ers of the United States and Great
Britain have been insisting that manu-
facturing could not succeed in a coun-
try hampered by protection, the United
States have built up industries whose
output exceeds in volume that of Great
Britain and Germany combined. How
can you back a theory against a show-
ing like that?
ee
SHALL our people who consume twice
as much food per head as the European
workman, who expend six times as
much per head for education, who
cheerfully contribute of their earnings
in many other directions for the prog-
ress of this country, and stand ready to
defend it, if need be, with their lives—
shall they permit foreign manufactur-
ers from a distance of many thousands
of miles to carry on business here with-
out contributing in any way to our in-
stitutions or Government?

Some of the fellows who have been
drawing relief from the miners’ union
for a long time are exceeding wroth,
because their relief was cut off last
week. One old duffer who hasn’t mined
any coal for at least ten or twelye
years, and who never intends to mine
any, no matter what price is paid, had
been drawing relief all along until last
week. As a woman up in the Gay
street ark said one night when a serim-
mage was on, “Wouldn’t that grab
you?” Others were cut off for working
too much, and some for this and some
for that. We have it from a friend in
the union who never hesitates to ad-
mit the infernal rottenness of the or-
ganization, that immediately after the
election a whole lot of fellows will be
taken off the relief list. They would
be off now, but McCullough, Morgan &
Co. are under contract to deliver as
many votes as possible to the Socialist
and Citizens’ Union fake tickets.
Some people never know when they
have a good friend. The miners’ or-
ganization of this region never had a
more faithful, energetic friend than
Tae Star. We stuck to the union
through thick and thin, until the erim-
inal element began to shape the union’s
policy, and outlawry was made use of
to win strikes—blackmail and intimi-
dation were resorted to, etc. There is
a limit beyond which public sentiment
will not go, and beyond which a decent
newspaper dare not go. The union was
mismanaged until it was dragged hell-
ward unto that limit, and there THE
STAR had to part company with it. We
have been cursed, threatened and
abused for not lending our columns to
the publication of stuf that the union
expected us to publish, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the strike leaders
themselves, as well as the editor, well
knew there wasn’t a word of truth in.
We have been cursed for not holding
out encouragement to the strikers when
there was none to hold out. In other
words, we have been cursed for print-
ing the truth when the strike leaders
expected us to print lies. We were
even cursed for speaking to the opera.
tors or their superintendents. But sen-
timent in the union seems to have
changed. Some of the men who have
passed us without speaking, and others
who have been cursing us, are now be-
seeching us to use our good offices and
influence to get them a job. They
freely acknowledge their error, and for
all such we feel sorry. But we fear
that many of them have waited too
long to appreciate a real friend, and
some of them are now asking favors
that never did anything for us but
deadbeat us out of-shard-earned sub-
scription money. Gentlemen, in the
end it always pays to be upright and
honest, and if you want the newspapers,
to stick to you, you must play fair.
When you load a car of coal you ex-
pect to be paid for it, and it’s only a
thief and a mean man that would beat
And when an editor
trusts a man to a newspaper subserip-
tion, he expects to be paid for it, know-
ing that only thieves and ingrates will
purposely fail to pay. :

Wipperwilliam Cochrane and the
Union Label.
[With due apologies to the Milwaukee
Sentinel. ]
Mr. Whipperwillian Cochrane is for
union all the way;
He favors larger wages and a somewhat
shorter day.
A walkout always pleased him, though
he didn’t have a cent,
And when the delegate said “Strike!”
Whipperwilliam always went.
He does the shopping for his rife, be-
cause he likes to know
That naught save union articles are
purshased with his'dough.
“Has it got the union label?”
Whipperwilliam’s sure to say;
“Has it got the union label?
Show it to me if you're able;
If it hasn't got the label
Take the bloomin’ thing away!”
Now, Whipperwilliam Cochrane is a
man of good repute
Who goes to church on Sunday in his
union tailored suit.
Like many other union men he lives a
blameless life,
And when he dies the folks will say:
“The blow will kill his wife.”
He'll reach the pearly gates on time, as
upright spirits do,
Get a welcome from St. Peter and a harp
that’s bright and new.
“Has it got the union label?”
Whipperwilliam then will say;
“Has it got the union label?
Show it to me if you're able;
If it hasn’t got the label
Take the bloomin’ thing away !”

CAN YOU EAT?
J. B. Taylor, a prominent merchant
of Chriesman, Tex., says: “I could not
eat because of a weak stomach. I lost
all strength and ran down in weight
All that money could do was done, but
all hope of recovery vanished. Hear-
ing of some wonderful cures effected
by use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, I con-
cluded to try it. The first bottle bene-
fited me, and after taking four bottles,
I am fully restored to my usual
strength, weight and health.” Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat

State Chairman Penrose Addresses
Republican Voters of Somerset
County.
Every American citizen should re-
gard it a privilege to help elect a Pres-
ident of the United States. I urge all
Republicans of Somerset county to
again do their duty at the polls on No-
vember 8th, thereby maintaining the
noble record of the “Frosty Sons of
Thunder” for party loyalty. It is
plainly the duty of every Republican
to refuse to support the claims of indi-
viduals, no matter how speciously
pressed, unless they are recognized as
the regular nominees of the Republican
party. The Speaker of the House of
Representatives at Washington or
Harrisburg might be lost or won by a
single vote, and. therefore, I cannot
too emphatically impress upon you the
importance of supporting the regular
Republican nominees, who, if elected,
will comply with the usages of the
party in attending the party caucuses
and abiding by their decrees. In view
of the issues involved and the embar-
rassments that might be occasioned to
the state and nation, it is to be hoped
that every Republican will exert him-
self in behalf of the regular nominees
of his party, in which event I can as-
sure you in advance that a great and
overwhelming victory will be recorded
in Pennsylvania in November for the
entire Republicae ticket from top to
bottom. Yours very truly,
Boies PENROSE,
Chairman.

PROTECTION OR FREE TRADE.
There is nearly twice as much money
on deposit in a vingle savings bank mm
New York City (the Bowery Saviegs
Bank) as there is in all the saviegs
banks of Canada. The total depesis
in the savings banks of New Yok
Btate are $160,000,000 greater than Gee
total deposits in all the savings banks
of Great Britain and Ireland. Tee
average deposits in the ‘savings banks
of New York State is $477.88; the aves
age deposits in the savings barks «f
Great Britain and Ireland is %$888R
The depositors in the savings banks af
New York State and New York City
have been able tc accumulate thess
surplus earnings because of fiving andl
working under the operation of a pre
tective tariff. The people of Gres
Britain are living and working unders
tariff for revenue only. The Democrat
ic party, if successful at the polls next
November, would change the fisedl
policy under which our laborers in this
country have on an average neatly
$500 to their credit in the savings banks
to the policy of Great Britain, whem -
the average depositor has to his cred®
only $88.
This by no means, however, fully
represents the prosperity of the Amery
can wage earner as compared with his
competitor of Great Britain. Thess
savings, it must be remembered, are =
addition to a far higher standard of
living, to far better houses, clothes anil
food than the average person obtains im
Great Britain. It is a policy which we
do not think the American wage earner
cares to give up in exchange for the
policy of the English working man. ¥
is, however, for the laborers of this
country to decide this question for
themselves, and their decision will ins
very short time be made manifest «t
the polls, whether they wish a contina-
ance of American prosperity or whether
they wish a change to the lower stand-
ard of living and lower wages of GreaZ
Britain.
VIEWS OF AN OPEN FIGHTER.
Thomas E. Watson’s Remarks om
Reosevelt and Parker in Letter
of Acceptance.
Much abuse has been heaped upos
me because more time has been devet-
ed by me to denunciation of Parker
than of Roosevelt. The reason is ob-
vious enough. Roosevelt is a straight-
out Republican, who declares boldly for
Republican priciples, defiantly defend-
ing existing conditions. He is not im
ambush ; he is behind no “blind ;” he
stands out in the open, and he says te
his enemies, “Here I am—a Republicam
who stands pat on all existing condi-
tions; if you want to fight, come on™
Now, I ean understand a Republicam
like that; and while I would love te
make my battle-axe ring on his helmet
until one of us went down in political
defeat-and death, yet T could respect
him all the while as a foeman worthy of
any man’s steel.
Roosevelt stands in the open, and
dares Parker, defiantly, almost mock
ingly, and Parker meekly stays out of
the fight. In his formal letter of as-
ceptance he says that he takes up the
glove thrown at his feet, declaring that
he will revoke that pension order, Na.
78. But in the same breath he ‘hastens
to admit that Roosevelt did precisely
what he, Parker, thinks ought to be
done. If elected, he, Parker, will &t
once have Congress to do what Roose-
velt has already done. Heavens! what
a meek warrior is this!
In his formal letter of acceptance,
just made public, it is curious tc ote
that Mr. Parker does not once mentica
the name of Jefferson, Jackson, or any
other great Democrat. He makes nes
reference to the titular deities of the
Democratic party. The man to whom
he alludes with the greatest reverenee
is William McKinley, and the next ie
James G. Blaine.
If Republican policies are to be over
thrown, it must be done by men whe
boldly declare against them, and whe
go up against them with a determine-
tion to defeat them. The way to whip
the enemy is to fight it. The Demo-
cratic party has known what it was te
be led by captains who put the battle
ery into plain language so that aff
could understand where the difference
was on vital issues. Such a leader wae
Jefferson. Such a leader was Andrew
Jackson. Such a leader was Stepheam
A. Douglas. Such a leader was Wil-
liam J. Bryan. In this campaign it hes
no such leader. To their secret shame
and disgust, the rank and file of the
great Democratic party see that their
captain will not fight. In spite of party
loyalty and a wish to believe otherwiss,
they see that Parker remains what
Bryan says he was last April, “an artfal
dodger,” “absolutely unfit for the Pres-
idential nomination.” That Mr. Bryss
himself supports the ticket does mat
change facts nor create satisfaction.
