WHY CAMERON COUNTY
SHOULD VOTE FOR MR
RENTFRO.
Leaving out of question his
superior ability and titnpss for
the position of congressman
from tlie Seventh District,
those are two principal and
sufficient reasons why tbo
voter, in any of the frontier
counties, should give Mr.
Kcntfro his earnest support
in the coining elections.
First—He is a home man, and
we can lAit naturally expoct
that, as such, he would fully
exert himself in the halls of
national legislation to ad-
vance the interests of the
community from wliielj he
came, while at the same time
other portions of the district
would not be neglected. He
has a personal knowledge of
the wants of this section, and
on that account can do mure
toward filling the same, than
Mr. Grain or any other per-
son, who has not lived on this
frontier and who deiives his
knowledge of the condition of
affairs out here from news-
paper reports alone. Second
—Mr. Rentfro, as a ltepub
lican, adopts fully that plank
in the platform of his party
which declares: ' that the im-
position of duties 011 foreign
imports «bull be made, not for
"revenue only," but that, in
raising the requisite revenues
for the Government, such j
share. Bohemia and Bel-
gium seized the remainder.
To Germany remained noth-
ing but a home market, made
profitable hv protection. Half
a century has elapsed, and
during this time Great Britain
has been browsing ill the rich
fields of the "World's Market "
Let English authorities tell
the result: —
"Daring the last twenty
ye.ars of this century the',linen
industrv of Germany has ill-
« *
creased 300 per cent."—Mul-
hall.
"During the last twenty
years the linen industry of
Great Britain has decreased
18 per cent."—Nineteenth.
Century, June, 1883.
"During the last twenty
years the exports of linen
goods from Germany have in-
creased."—British Blue Book.
' During the last ten years
the exports of linen yarn
from England have decreased
steadily every year, until they
are less than half what they
were a decade ago."—British

to afford security to our diver-
sified industries and protec-
tion to the rights and wages
of the laborer, to the end that
active and intelligent labor as
well as capital, may have its
just reward, and the laboring
man his full share in the na
tional piosperity." The hate-
ful effects of free trade on the
material interests and welfare
of this frontier can be more
easily imagined than describ-
ed, The eperieace of all
nations has demonstrated that
a high protective tariff is the
greatest stimulant toward the
development of home indus-
tries of every kind, and it is
to our protective system that
we, today, owe our national
greatness.

substitute for corn, chamal,
which is very dangerous, as if
not cooked enough it is poi-
sonous, whereas if cooked too
much, it becomes a severe
purgative.

The following which we
