BURDETTE'S ADVICE.
He Tells the Young Man He May Vote Tor any
Party He Pieases Except the One whose
Record He Outlines.


Bob Burdette gives the following ad-
vice to the young voter:
My son, you will cast your first vote
for President next November. don't
want to influence your vote. | don't
want you to vote for man just because
certain other men do. ] want you to
sit down and think about it before you
vote | want you to be able to give q
reason for your vote. Iswant you 60 go
to the polls in good company, As .
young man of'progressive ideas, l want
you to be abreast Of the world and head
and shoulders with the times when you
walk up to the polls. | want you, on
entering politics, 10 align with the party
which has the purest, most progressive
record. | don't care cent, my boy,
whether you are a Republican or a
Democrat There are honest men, pa
triotic citizens, good Christians in both
parties. Only / don't want to see you
walk up to the polls and cast your frs.
vote with the party
That upheld human slavery as d.
vine institution;
That bought and sold men, women
and babies like so many mules;
That fired on Fort Sumpter and the
American flag;
That for nearly FIVE years fought t.
destroy the Union;
That opposed the Issue Of greenbacks
when the government was fairly perish
ing for the want of them;
That organized mobs and riots to op.
pose the draft;
That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed privateers;
That polls its heaviest majorities in
the most vicious and ignorant precincts;
That is strongest in the States where
the percentage Of illiteracy is the great
est;
That has opposed every liberal and
progressive measure of legislation dur.
ing the last quarter Of a century;
That was the defender of slavery;
That is the defender of Mormonism;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now, as | have said before, my son,
| don't care whether you are Repub-
lican or Democrat. Choose for your
self. Just keep away from the crowd
whose record [ have very briefly out
lined. Find the party to whom the
record belongs, and then forever keep
away from it. You need not be partic.
ular with which party you unite if you
don't join that one. Always vote about
right. | am Republican, but | will
shake hands with fraternal love with
any Democrat who votes against that
record. That kind of Democrat is al
ways good enough Republican for me-
?. 81 have never found that kind
of Democrat.

In the period between 1910 and
1860, with the exception Of four years,
we had the revenue reform" policy,
and from 1860 the protective system
prevailed. Mark the results In the
period first named there was an increase
in the number Of sheep Of Ii per cent,
and in the wool clip Of 68 per cent. In
the latter period, from 1860 to 1880,
the number Of sheep increased 81 per
cent, and the wool clip 800 per cent.
The protection Of this industry has not
only increased the number Of sheep and
the weight of the clip, but has improved
the quality Of both and added material
by to the productiveness of the sheep.
Thus, in 1910 the average weight of
the fleece was less than / IS pounds; in
1850 it was 242 pounds; in 1860 it was
2.68 pounds; in 1870 it was 8 50 lbs;
in 1880 it was $50 pounds; in 1884 it
was COS pounds; and in 1886 it was
5 80 pounds Surely such an industry
is worth preserving. With the restora-
ton OF the duties Of 1867 the farmers of
the United States would within the
next decade produce more wool than
would be needed for American con-
sumption. Since the act of 1883 there
has been decline in this industry, and
yet in 1885, we produced within % pei
cent. of all the wool we consumed that
wear.

Monday last. 1t had been predicted
that an exciting debate would occur
before the close of the Conference,
as views strongly antagonistic we're
known to be entertained by members
in respect to the disposal of the tenn.

temperance was referred, made re-
port strongly condemning the sale
and traffic and virtually declaring in
favor of prohibition. The report
was adopted without discussion with
no dissenting vote. The Conference

WHAT Is
SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, &C
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tions usually ascribed to 'humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
