Roosevelt said in his North Carolina speech that there was vo patent device by which we can imake the country prosper. In other words, be tells us, as every thinking man knows, that prosperity is the result of natural conditions and that good crops here and poor ones abroad are bound to make good times among the farmers, and pros- perity among the farmers means better times the country over. Such times prevail in a measure to-day, but they are largely counteracted by the tariff for trusts only, which takes _pute it ty. Asitis now, the trusts gol up their share and ple's share, toe. __ eratic platform, wt the money of the country out of ite channels and. the bands of the money power.

In the first place they thereby admit their inability to present good and sufficient reasons for a change to the intelligent voters of the coun-| ty. They admit the Democratic management and control of affairsis impregnable, and their ouly hope lies in help from the outside, In the second place it has been our observa- |ministration is simply this: “We tion that men selling out and seek- ing new locations, among other con- aiterations; look to their rettgious sas tt and political affiliations and associa- tions.
