We stopped to examine his prize and the colonel said: " Ity friend. ',o yon know it is Sunday?' " "Sartln. bOOO.' "'Are you a r.li:!ous man?' " 'I are. I'se Jtnt on my way home from church.'

nut the republican system of protection is more disafrous to the young man than to the father. The first enter has to w in his way to independence and he lade tha tariff-bred trusts have by concentration of business into large corporations eliminated many opportunities that used to be open and free. Most young men must now becontent to serve others, and can never aspire to be tbelr ow n masters The reduced number of well-paid employes of corporations ar.d wholesale houses is another curtailment of the chances cf young men for a food position in life. The number of traveling men sent out since the consolidation of manufacturing and distributing concerns. Is much smaller than It used to be and the salaries and allow

ances for expensee are not as generous. Clerks In stores do not get nearly as good wage? now as before the trust era reached its height. If the coft of living (staken Is'o consideration the decline in wages is mueh greater, reckoned by the purchasing pow er. Unless a young man has influence, or is especially bright, his chance of advancement in the services

' of a corporation is restricted to filling

, the place of those who resign or through : tho deaths of other employes that may occur. In te professional world the number of a-pirants has inereased in a much rr ater ratio than the population, in conI sentience of the greater number of Sollt ngg and reduced outlook for a good livbt n other occupations. When those young men whochorse a professional career have embarked in It they will soon feel the full burden of th tariff and its high prices. As a professional man's income does not rise and fall with the cost of living. When the cost of meat. coal, groceries and rent increases the fees of the doctor or the lawyer remain comparatively stationary. In the mechanical trades many av1 enues have lieen closed by the consolidation of the small manufacturers into I rreat corporations, or the competition ' of the trusts has wiped them out of ex

istence. The increased co?t of land has reduced the opportunities for young men to acquire farms of their own. unless they are willing to work many years to save enough money to make the required payment and buy the necessary jtock and implements. Thtre they find the full weight of the protective tariff and the resulting high trust pricf s. The farrc r sells nearly all of his farm products in competition with foreip conntries and everythine he buys is advanced to the highest possible price by the protr lion the tariff gives to the corporaions that produce what he buys. The system that has been developed umkr these republican policies is ail

ac.iinst the young man starting out in I life unless he is content to only aspire j tp being a drudge for a corporation and i then only one in a thousand ever gets

beyond the lower rum; of the ladder. The labor unions have made it peissib!e by combination, for a few voting men to obtain lair wages as stone masons, bricklayers, carpenters, paper hangers painters or machinists, but the number of apprentices is limited in those trades .and the high cost of living again j r. vents much saving and the slack times when work is scarce has to be provided for I nder the democratic policy of "equal rights to all and special privileges tn neu e." every e r e could achieve independence by work and attention to his business. The moderate tariff does not protect the trusts at th expense of the ronsumer. Wages might not be so high, but the cost of living would be much less and the balance saved for the rainy daywould be greater That was the condition during the low tariff period before the war. when nearlv every man cou'd (ii: under the shadow of his ow n vine and fig tree. Now the creat majority are a; the mercy of landlords and masters or the soulless corporatiewi. The young man Just starting in life must Investigate and weigh the advantares and disadvantages of the two systems and vote accordingly, ar.d red be led away by the specious promises made by the republicans.

The national democracy has turned ite face toward the light. It baa named for president of the i i : d State a candidate who repreui ' : -at.e sen i r. ti ol the mass of the party and the patriotic purixjse of the American people. What it means, and w hat the country will recognize in this nomination, is a reversal of the attitude of thetwogreat parties. The democracy, from radical, pi i Dm. - ; .r TI.e p.pul lb an party is left as the exponent of radicalism Alton B. Parker is the safe man. Theodore Roosevelt la the dangeroua man. The contrast is made between the Judicial temperament, the statesmanlike force of character of Judce Parker, ai d the fiery impulsiveness of the rough Can It be doubted which candidate will appeal more strongly to the solid sense of the American people? Parker is the guarantee of safety. Roosevelt Is a danger. There are excellent reasons for gn peotiag the election of Judge Parker. H conns from the State of New York-the state whose vote still decides presidential elections and he will carry his state. He has done it before when a candidate for high judicial office, against great odds, and by the force of his personality, his character and his record he w ill do It again as candidate for president New York is essentially the pivotal state. Judge Parker w ill also carry Connecticut. New Jersey and either btatea which for eight years past have been classed as doubtful. The probability Is that with Parker the democracy will win the election. The candidate has shown characteristic delicacy In refusing to be drawn into a discussion of the issues of the campaign eir to take any part which could he construed into an effort to obtain the nomination. The public recognizes his good sense. Thus the campaign opens Thelln are clearly drawn. It Is the fantastic politician against the seasoned jurist and statesman. The Washington Peist truly says that not since the civil war las the democracy entered upon the campaign with such omens of success The Tilden campaign out of whose result the people were cheated the two Cleveland campaigns which were successful, did not present such a prospect at the outset. The fact that the people want a safe, sane man in the white house to direct

the fortunes of the republic as its chief executive, instead of an erratic. Impulsive rough rider. Befog the Issue as you may. this is the point on which the election will turn. MUCH TROUBLE IN SICHT. Why the Manipulators of the Republican Machine Are Worried Almobt to Death. The republican managers are not so cocksure as they were. On the contrary they are Just beginning to leara bow thoroughly cemented together the democratic party is. Following the ominous breach in the republican ranks in Wisconsin. Senator Scott rushes to Washington with a tale of woe that la calculated to draw tears from a stone. He tays that his coileacue. St. ve Klkins. is working hand in hand withSeng or Davis to turn West Virginia over to the d moerat m xt fall, and thuspreven: Scott's reelection. He says that Klkins is not greatly concerned for ths election of Kooevelt. Chairman Babcock also has troubles to confide to Cortelyon alxiut the Wisconsin situation, and Secretary Metcalf. formerly a representative of California, is disturbed at the claims of the California democrats, who are loudly asserting that they w ill carry the state. I .very day It is daw ning upon the republican leaders tha' they are due to enrenin r a great democratic tidal wave this fall. The area of debatable ground Is constantly expanding. At first they were inclined to put West Virginia. Delaware and Maryland In the doubtful column, but even old Orosvenor is beginning to admit that republican Chance are f lender in those states. Now California. Colorado. Idaho, Montana and I'tah are net only regarded no longer as certain republican territory, but strong indication points to democratic success In those states. New York is almost hopeless from a republican standpoint, and even republican painrs and leaders in Indiana admit that the democrats have as good a chanc to carry the state a3 the republicans. Fairbanks has not strengthened the ticket a particle in the Hooaier state. The tone of the independent precs I distinctly favorable to Parker, and this is a reasonable indication that the Independent vote Is leaning In the same direct ien. It is three months until the election and admlttedl- many things might happen wlfbl" Ifta! 'ine that would have a vital bear I fi the result But. says the Houston Post, there can be no exaggeration in saying that in no previou campaign since l8f has the party entered upon the contest with so flattering a proapect for complete victory.
