A WORD TO VOTERS.

1t is to be hoped that every
intelligent voter has BY this
time informed himself Of the
importance of next Tuesdays
election and that at least every
Democrat will 60 to the polls
and cast his vote for Cleve-
land. Thurman and Gibson
These gentlemen represent
the best interests of the Amer
ican workingman. and every
man in Worcester who is in
tercsted in the welfare and
prosperity Of the nation should
vote for them. Vote for low
er taxes Vote for better and
cheaper clothing and food 1t
is not the downingo of either Of
the political parties that is de-
sired. but it is whether or not
our nation shall continue to be
prosperous. We have reach
ed that stage where something
must be done to prevent hnan-
cial disaster and greater hard
ship to the American mechanic,
farmer and laborer. The
money that should be used in
the legitimate channels of
trade is flowing into the ma
tons treasury and il a stop is
not put to it, soon a calamity
will befall our country that will
cause harder times than has
been known for years. These
are the predictions of men who
have had unlimited opportuni-
ty to study the question and
the Republican party itself has
acknowledged by declaring it
necessary to remove the tax
from tobacco and whiskcy.-
The Democratic party says
No take the tax from raw
material which we are com
belled to import and thus make
production cheaper and consc-
quently decrease the cost of
the necessities of life. This
is not the time to be a Prohi-
bitionist or Third party follow
er; the question Of taxing our
poor people to death is of
much more Importance than
any other question now before
the people and no man can
afford to throw away his vote
this year even in Worcester
county.

COLLEGIANS VS.. APPREN-
TICES.

The question is often asked
why educated young men do
not succeed as well in obtain
ing employment as do boys
who have grown up in trade
and received their education
and experience along with the
hard knocks commonly called
getting the eye teeth cut :"
That the fact, as thus stated,
is true cannot be denied. The
precise reason would, perhaps,
be hard to find. but there are
many things which the mind
rccurs to at once as having a
bearing on the subject.
First. college bred young
men are without experience
on the practical side of life
The pushing. alert business
man is not particularly i'm.
pressed with the value of a
college degree in forcasting
the market or determining the
value OF lob lots. because he
knows business is not a theo-
ry at all, but a hard fact. Then,
too, collegians often give them
selves superior airs, which do
not go down with their associ-
atcs, the majority of whom
have received honorable scars
in their tight with circum-
stances and have little tender
ness for carpet knights.
Moreover, the imprcssionable
and formative period Of life
having been spent in the
school room, they have not ac-
quired that alcrtness, that
power to grasp a business sit
uation or problem and instant
~ solve it. Nothing in their
school books taught them the
shrcwd, watchful readiness
competition makes necessary.
Their refined mental discipline
is almost useless and at once
upon entering the field they
have a great deal to unlcarn.
1t is not to be denied that a
three dollar clerkship and the
slow, painful climb to business
manhood must seem insulting
to a young fellow who can toss
off Greek hexamcters on call,
or deliver an oration in Cicer-
oman Latin. We are far from
denying the value Of academic
training to the professional
man. but the tradcsman's re
quircmcnts are different.
Take the young fellow who
left school as soon as he had
mastered the rule Of three and
entered upon the struggle for
existence. His mind was open
to all impressions he learned
business without knowing he
was learning, as 4 child learns
to talk. He has formed bust
ness habits unconsciously.
His mind was moulded to
alertness, rapidity of thought,
promptitude of action, the re-
quiremcnts OF a business char
actcr. Let us illustrate. Take
a little fellow eight or nine
years, brought up in a well
regulated home, and place him
beside the street arab. boot
black or newsboy. On the
score of mental activity and
practical knowledge an d
shrcwdncss the latter will run
him to cover in two minutes.
Does not some such difference
exist between the educated
young man and the one 10
whom business has been a
matter OF daily life since early
youth, which makes employers
prefer the latter? Is there
not some way of combining
an intellectual with a practi-
cal business training which will
inurc to the benefit of all CON
ccrned' We have no desire
to discourage intellectual am
bition, but the majority of
mankind must work for their
living, and the time to receive
the necessary training for the
work must, to accomplish the
best results, be commenced in
youth. Gcycr's Stationcr.

wish the people Of our county
to know something Of our i'm

every body to visit our En-

to interfere with home trade
anvwhere-it is all right to
Ipa.,o"r4e your own stores, as
far as you can, but it is well
known that it will not pay
every merchant to carry such
an assortment as is found at
our Stores, and many persons
have to send away for goods
which they cannot obtain at
home. 1t is this class of trade
that we are specially seeking
and we are persuaded that
there is no house on the PEN
insula where the wants of the
people are more fully met or
their interests more carefully
guarded. With such an estab-
lishment. therefore. in your
midst, does it not merit the
support OF the people, and is
it not to their interest to sus-
tain it (? Our business has
been steadily growing and we
see no reason why it should
not reach much greater pro-
portions. We would be pleas
ed to have you come and see
us and we will take pleasure
in showing you through our
stores, and of course would
be pleased to sell you, but
will not press you to buy. II

you lowest cash prices, the

which tIc Dreamed after the Manner
Of Pharaoh Of old.

From the New York Tribune
Now it came to pass at the end Of nearly
four full years that Grover dreamed. CIIc
was n king beloved 10y the people, wise
and just ruler, weighing 32j pounds
And in the dream he stood by the Allan.
tic ocean. And he looked and saw about
him above an hundred men, well favored
and prosperous, and he saw that these were
workingmen. And they were engaged at
their work, some in woollen mills others in
iron mills and it was so that they were
employed in all kinds of factories aud all
kinds Of work
And, behold, a great horde of other men
came up out of the sea, i'll favored and hun
cry and they devoured the well favored
men So Grover awoke.
And after rubbing his eyes and listening
TO see that no widows or orphans we're
breaking into the treasury building. he slept
and dreamed the second time and behold
he saw great store of products Of his
country, of good quality and fair to look
upon, even wool, and salt. and many more
like things produced by his country.
And there came after II great multitude
of products of the same kind, but of poor
quality, and blasted by the east wind, and
produced by cheap methods and the poor
products did eat and make way with the
good products, 50 that there were none Of
them left. So Grover awoke, and it was
dream
And in the morning, after having written
humorous piece about soldiers widow
and vetoed an orphan, his spirit was trou-
bled, for he thought Of his dreams, and he
said to his servant "Go, call together the
wise men of the Democratic party" And
the servant departed, but straightway re
turned and said Master, there be none. So
And it was 50 that the servant had smitten
the nail on the head
And Grover was wruth, and called his
assistant ruler, Lamont And he spake to
the assistant king his dream, telling him of
the company of well favored men, number
ing above an hundred and of the mighty
horde Of ill-favored and dsreputable mdi-
vduals that devuured them, and even then
it could not he known that they had eaten
them, they still being as thin in the flesh a.
before And also of the bountiful products
Of the land, and how there came other proI-

none, he said, that can interpret to me these
dreams.
