administration But there is a mighty difference The Republicans propose to make the changes needed along prospective lines They will fix the schedules so that the wages of American workmen tha highest in the world will not be lowered by competition with foreign wages and fair profits for mannfactnr-era will also be prospectively treated The Bryan platform is for an extra sea aion of congress after March 4 next to frame a new tariff law based on free trade Its only object would be revenue with all prospective features elim-minated In casting his ballot it is for the worker in this oouutry to weigh the vital differences between the two policies They strike home to him for they touch his wages and opportunities for employment On one hand is comfort and on the other is distress In one case the worker moves ahead steadily and in the other be is either out of employment or labors for wages necessarily declining to the fureigu level for under free trade goods made abroad are poured in

gotten oat bnt everything else was destroyed The threshing machine was valued at (1500 and Mr Healer had not yet had it insured and it is a total loss The loss comes particularly heavy on Mr Healer as
