This wa follow ed by an addre by School Superin tendent Ackerman, and Senator Ful ton, and thl brought the sixth annual grange fair to a cloe. It was decld of our commerce and Industrie under It policies ara considered. Under those pollcle we have become and ara today tba foremost Nation of the world In power, Influence and wealth. In every branch of trade and Industry our people are the most prosperous on earth. Wa ara tha greatest manufac turing Nation of the world; the great, eat In agriculture, the greateat In commerce. Nothing mora clearly in dicate, our lead In the manufacturing world than our output of pig Iron; wa are now producing fully 60 per cent of tha world', annual output. Think of that, more than any other three nation, of the world. Our In ternal commerce exceed. In both vol ume and value the entire foreign com merce of all the other nation, of the world. Our export, exceed those of any other nation, lost year aggregat ing approximately the enormous .urn of 12.000.000.000. and our excess of export over Import exceeding $500,- 000.000. Our laboring men receive higher wage by from 6 to 100 per cent than are paid In any other country. . I It not a wonderful and pleasing fact that we are the greatest manufacturing Nation of the world and yet we pay the highest wage of any country In the world? Marvelous Indeed, but true. All this ha. been brought about under Republican policies. It Is not necessary to contend that It Is due entirely to such pollcle.. It is sufficient to show that It came under them In order to prove that they provide the best possible conditions for the de velopment of our Industries and the highest possible degree of prosperity. And the great prosperity Is not con ed to take the exhibits to the County fined to any one branch of Industry, Fair at Canity on Wednesday, where but extends equally to all to the they will bo In readiness on Thursday farmer, the merchant, the laborer, the morning.

Senator Fulton's address wa. not- ble. He said In part, as follows: The Republican party I certainly a ever, and a. intensely now as ever, opposed to the Democratic doc trine of free and unlimited coinage of sliver. The Republican party la Just as firmly as ever in favor of the single Rold standard. Has tbe Demo cratic party abandoned the one or em braced the other? Does the selection Mr. Brysn a It candidate for the presidency Justify uch an Inference? Inded be haa with In the last few eek stated that be was right In lS'jf, and In the same circumstances banker, the manufacturer. Now why should we abandon these policies? Why for Instance, abandon the pro tective policy? Have not all prospered under It a. no other people under any system ever prospered In all the world'- history? Do you not know that every time we have abandoned It, disaster and distress have ensued and that every time we have returned to It prosperity and happiness have quickly come In their stead? Of course you know all that Then who Is demanding the aban donment of this principle? Is it the farmer? Surely not, for no class Is more prosperous. It provides him the best market In the world for bis pro ductsour home market, which now absorbs over 92 per cent of bis pro ducts. Does he think tbe tariff on hides and cattle creates the "beef trust?" Does he deem the tariff on wool a menace to bis flocks? No he Is not so easily deluded. It Is the merchant? He desire no change that will be any possibility abate the pros perity attending our Industrial life.

It does not seem possible, for The Republican party still stands 'above all others they are benefited by for the doctrine that our tariff laws must be framed with a view not only to provide a su (Helen t revenue but as well with a view to protection of American product and American la bor. Does the Democratic party agree to that? The Republican party still contend that it ia the duty of this Nation to retain the Philippine Island, at least until their Inhabitants are fully capable of aelf-government, and that we have the constitutional right no to do, and it Is opposed to any declaration at this time of an Intention to abandon them at any time or under any condition.

It la incon ceivable. If there were no difference between the parties, however, If both stood for the same policies, even then there should be no doubt In the minds of the voters touching the choice they should make as between Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan. In my Judgment Mr. Taft Is the most nearly ideal candidate for the Presidency ever nominated by a political party. I know this Is saying much, but I firmly believe It to be true.

The building activities of Milwau kee are not to be overshadowed by any section of the country. There are some fourteen houses being built In Sellwood's Addition, and mauj more in other parts of the city. Sev eral families who have been paying rent for a long time have put build ing on lots recently purchased. This fact has left a number of houses va cant In the immediate vicinity of il car lines. Those who were not waicb ing Milwaukee's growth might say that emptied houses meant that there was nothing doing and that the tovrn was dead. New families are fast fill ing up even these vacated houses how ever, and a vacant house will soon be at a premium. Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N.

I admit, but unnues- one or combat the other. He is silent tlonallv without high mental lnteg- on Imperialism and would have It for gotten that he ever advocated Gov ornment ownership. Will the ATneii can people elect this chief of oppor tunists to tho Presidency of the republic? Mr. Bryan charges the Republican party with fostering trusts, and '.t he knows that every line of legisla tion now on the statute books con demning trusts and providing for their suppression was enacted by Repuh'l cans. The Sherman anti-trust law, enacted In 18'Jfl, condemns and makes Illegal every contract, combination in tho form of a trust or otherwise, or conspiracy In restraint of trudu or commerce among the states or v.'ili foreign nations. This was In 1800. and In 1892 you know the Democratic party elected the President nnd a ma jority of the House of Represent vos. Did this Domocrntlc admlni3- trntlon cither seek to enforce this iaw or to enact another? Not at all. On tho contrary tho Democratic Attor ney-General, Mr. Olney, held the Sher man law to be unconstitutional unl declined to enforce it or to take any proceedings under It. Thereupon, in Juno, 1900, the Republican members Congress brought forward a reso lution proposing an amendment to .lic Constitution empowering Congress to suppress trusts and combinations In restraint of trade. Every Itepulfcicaii member voted for the resolution an 1 every Democrat excepting five voted agalnBt It. Thoy contended that it was unwise Interference with state rights, and so the resolution falle 1, for to propose an amendment to the Constitution require the concurrence of two-third of those voting. 1 It seems Incredible that any consid erable sentiment should exist for a change from Republican rule when ritv or real statesmanship. He Is simply a bright opportunist, ready and willing to shape his views and accommodate his convictions on any subject in order to profit politically by appealing to the momentary preju dices or passions of the crowd.
