Show A STURDY DEMOCRAT The Chairman of the Illinois Central Cen-tral Committee in Town He Says a Business Revival is Already Apparent Ap-parent and Polities are All Hlsht For Palmer and Russell Hon D P Phelps of Monmouth 11 chairman of the Democratic central committee com-mittee of that state is at the Templo ton I He is vicepresident and manager of the Weir Plow company and is here for tho purpose of establishing a permanent agency for that corporation To a HERALD representative he said that the past season had been the best in many years for those engaged in the manufacture manufac-ture of agricultural implements McCormick McCor-mick alone sold over seventy thousand machines ma-chines of one pattern and the outlook for the next was oven better The total crop yield was not only great but the different cereals wheat oats and corn were each unusually largo I am both pleased and surprised said he at the great progress ef this entire section While the possibilities of irrigation huvo not been fully tested here yet enough is known to rank Utah first of the arId region Tho changes In Salt Lako sinco my lust visit J I which was in 18SO are beyond my comprehension I compre-hension These magnificent blocks would be a credit to any city While I have al wars felt enamored of Denver I must admit ad-mit that this city charms me Of the general business outlook Mr Phelps ays that the revival is alreaded decidedly de-cidedly apparent In tho middle sections and the cast we are already feeling it MOSEY IS CAStLE and with the two thousand millions bushels of corn and over five hundred millions of wheat to sell in the course of six months our returns will begin to show Tho condition of crops in Europe undoubtedly un-doubtedly effects prices here and but for the demand abroad wheat would not be I worth 8 cents This fact alone proves the fallacy of the doctrine that we can live I entirely apart from other people I we I persued the course advocated by some of our public men wo would soon make I monoy like the old womans boys who had I such a propensity for trade that she locked them up in a room with the injunction to i swop vests all day and see how soon they would get rich touching upon the political situation lesays for the first time in twentyfive I rears the Democrats of Illinois electedall L of their state ticket and that too by a good I round majority of over 8OOU I do not class my state as certainly Democratic In a national think contest but with a good tiuKot I WE CAN CAUUT ILLINOIS I our party will stand by its tariff doc trines and not be sidetracked by smaller Issues we can win This Is one thing all I are harmonious on and good politics die ato such a course The people aro just beginning to nk whence comes the billion dollars for ono Congress to spend and wton they realize that it is I the result of an iniquitous system of taxation called protection pro-tection they will bo cautious about sustaining sus-taining i This large appropriation was nothing more or less than A CONSIIKACT ON THE PART OF THE REPDB CANS to create a demand for funds and thereby give an excuse for maintaining the tariff rates 1 hope our representatives will begin the attack in Congress early and keep it up They might tor instance pass a bill at once placing twine on the free list and let it go to the Senate then to the President and if nothing else comes of it the record will be made Whenever the issue has been clearly marked on ritOTECTION AND EXTRAVAGANCE the Democratic party has always won Illinois always went Democratic before IStiO in Presidential fights and on economic questions there is nothing to prevent it from doing so again On the subject G candiJates the party instate my in-state is practically a unit ron GFNEBIL rvLMEK True he is now Ieont four but with such a man as Governor Uuksell of Massachusetts Massa-chusetts for second place there would bono bo-no danger of the succession falling into bad bands Palmes ie a great man He was a Democrat Demo-crat before the war and is sound on nil the doctrines of tho party Ie is hale and nearly and as magnificent a spec men of manhood as can be found anywhere Ho will be good at eighty With such a ticket we could carry Illinois Indiana and why not Now York and Now Jersey General Palmer Is not radical on any subject but conservative reasonable conscientious and able and would stand for the wright always There might bo soma complications in Now York which could best be mot with a western man But any way I am for the man wo can certainly cer-tainly elect and we must not sacrifice success suc-cess for a mere sentiment Boies has carried car-ried Iowa twice and with the prohibition question as now existing it will remain inline in-line next year and ny the electoral district system in Michigan wo can gain several votes In talking of the selection of speaker Mr Phelps says that the sucker states would have felt honortd had the choice fallen II upor Mr Springer His eighteen years of continuous service in the House has made I him an able and experienced legislator and he would have been a worthy wielder of the gavel His BO lectiou would have gone far towards securing Illinois and tho entire northwest However we are stronger Democrats than over Our efforts must now be directed to the successful conduct of the next campaign We younger men of the party have nof thrown up our hats many times over tho election ot President I i and we must go In for the right and to I succeed I night Mr Phelps will probably go east to I |
