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,

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.

Eighteen babies were entered in the
contest, and all were dressed to look
their prettiest. They all, of course,
looked their sweetest and behaved ad
mirably. Captain J. P. Sbaw was mas

managed tho eighteen bablea, was
enough to keep the little one in good
humor. O. E. Freytag, of Gladstone;

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. Ia that also the atti

exclude from our shores the cheap la
bor of China and contract laborers
from Europe, will they demand that
we open our market to the products
of such labor on equal terms with the
products of their labor? 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. He has been in public life many

Activity in Building.
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.

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

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.
