For many. , years La Grande has been trying to secure for itself a creamery and at last que has been ' located here, i'.-Now that the long coveted, prize has been secured, ? it now remains for the people of this city to see that it receives th e support which it deserves. It is not expected that - the citizens of this city should do nate anything towards its' sup' port, but simply giveitpqduoti I the preference oyer the product or outside creameries, ho long as the quality is equal to the ' outside product it. should cer tainly receive the patronage and I support of the . home, people, , This ia not sentiment merely, but a simple business proposi- i tion. La Grands has use (or every dollar which can , be, kept here, and it is a well known lact that pracitcally every cent paid for La Grande Creamery 'Butter remains in this .valley, and the greater part in the hands of the ' farmer. The cash, paid the far mer for cream even at. the pres-J cut stage of development of the creamery business by the La Grajide Creamery Co. amounts to nearly two thousand dollars per month This is an item which should meet .with copsid- ation on the part of every citizen of this city It is easy to stimulate this in dustry by simply asking your dealer for La Grande Creamery butter when vou are planing your order - You may tb.mk that your individual trade does not amount to much and that your part cf the work of dia bursing this two thousand dollars per month is a . small one, but you are mistaken. The entire businee of the creamery is dependent upon just such a trade as yours. Remember when ycu help the creamery or an? other home industry you are also helping yourself. Judge Parker, the Democratic nominee for the presidency re ferf to Cleyelands administra tion a , a model of economy, and by so doing makes ' an im plied promise to give the n.ion a similar one if elected, There fore to form some idea of what be will do if elected it ia " neoes ary to take a retrospective .view of what Cleveland did during the last four years of his presi dential career the only part wbeubolb houses of Congress were Democratic . . The New ;York World, . a Democratic paper, in its alma- nao for 1904, on page 168, gives the "Principal of the Public Debt" of the United States in each jear from 1791 to 1903. From it the Observer takes tna following: , The public ' debt in 1893, the first year of Clevelands second term was $1,649,666,363. ,63 ,od in 1896, his last .year, it waB;$l,786,412,640 - an, increase of 1235,8 6,286.37 of principal during the four years. This in crease waxed during a term of nrofounri Deace. ana wueu we United States was ding less by way of internal improvements than in anv .four .years since 1861. ' . The four year of Clevelands second administration the num ber of post offices in the ' United States increased from 68, 403 to 70,360, a gain of 1,957. The next four years under Republi can rule 5,666 new post offices were added to the list. The postal revenue during the yearn 1893-1896 increased from $75,896,933 to $82,499,208 a gain in receipts of (6,602,275. During the Dext four years un der Republican management (he increase of postal revenues was $19,689116. ' The expenditure of the U. S. Postal 1 Department increased from $81,074,104 the first year, 1893, '-of, Clevelands administra tion to$90,626,297 the last year, 1896, an increase of expenitures in the four years of $6,602,275. During the next four years nu- der Republican rule the expen diture of the Postal Department inoreased $13,663,025. The last year of Clevelands administration 463,313 miles of post-roads were being operated, four years thereafter 500,990 miles were operated. , During Clevelands four years the. mail routes increased by 8, 676 miles, uuder the next four years the US mails were carried over 30,968 more than at the end of the first year and 37,677 miles more than the mail was caried over the last year of Clevelands administration. ine .U mails in 1903 were handled, at 3,809 more post offices and the mails carried over 87,677 more miles of postal routes than during the last year of Clevelands administration, yet under Clevelaud the receipts o! the Postal Department were I aft than the expenditure the last year of hit second term by $8,327,089 while in 1903 the re ceipts of the Postal Department were but $4,560,045 less that the expenditures. : The Pemoc.-ate make alou4 howl about Roose-f-velt,s extravagance in the Post office Department, when he did a much greater business than Cleveland with a 1 much : less deficit. : 1 Rummage Sale Be sore to attend the Rommege SBle given Thoraday, Friday and Saturday by the Methodiet ladles.
