In fact the young man in politics is n very
independent individual and he viii so ahead
voting with the party that offers the most
practical and OuSinesS-like plans for con-
Quoting the public service rather than with
party that undertakes TO discipline him.
The time has gone by when the test of po-
litical patriotism consisted Of tOtIng about
with ! torchiight procession in the wake OF
brass band ard doing violence 10 the lungs
in open air meetings. the voter Of to-day
is not Swayed by excitement and the blare
Of 4 brass horn. On the contrary. the aver
age American voter has become very tired
of political buncomb and IS doing consid-
cradle thinking Washington Post.
The influences that now control the gov
ernment think il 4 very wise policy to tax
the many by a high tariff and then dis
tribute the money 10 few by means Of
pensions and high Official salaries. No sys-
tenn can be more demoraliZinS or more dis
Couraging to the industrial classes. The
campaign of education will expose such
policies and will show that the Industrious
man hits one lick for the government favor
ties when ne hits one for himself and
family.
The Democratic party IS what a majority
of its voters make it in platforms of the
party A man that doesn't believe this is
not Democrat.
A DEMOCRATIC OPINION.
Lawrence Gardner. secretary Of the Ma
tionol association of Democratic clubs. re
Democrats looked with any apprehension
upon the third party movement: l do not
think they are losing any sleep over it. II
seems TO me, as the men composing this
convention are in doubt themselves as TO
whom they represent. ii might be well TO
have that question settled before any Seri-
Gus consideration is given the movement
For myself, l sympathize to a certain *
tent with the movement. These men how
ever, represent extreme views, They rec
oeniZe, as the Democratic party does, The
ills that exist in the financial system Of The
country, but the Democratic party proposes
TO cure them by safe, proper and conserva-
tive means, while these men propose eX-
IRENE measures of doubtful character The
Democratic party, YOU know, is the peoples
party. These men assembled in Cincinnati
claim to be the people, ana as such they
VIII find the Democratic party in sympathy
with them in all their Just grievances, and
in all efforts to secure good government.
II is hardly time to criticise the movement.
1t is not fair to an artist to criticise his
picture before It is completed, nor is it fair
to cIiticise tho work of such a gathering
until il has been fully accomplished"
Representative Grain of Texas 1t will
help the Democrats and hurt the Republi-
CAMS st. Louis Republic.
What are Democratic clubs here for if
for political evils, We don't need clubs TO
throw up hats and holler.
Politics is a science. Ofice-getting is
often the result Of tricks, trades and COM
binations, or fortuitous circumstances,
therefore there should be political clubs
and students of politics not after office
alone. II is in accord with Democratic
theories that they should come from all the
walks of life. Paul was 4 lawyer and John
was fisherman, but both made good apos-
ties.
Where the government retains monop-
oily Of issuing money high rates of interest
in times of prolonged peace and plenty
means that there is something dead up The
creek
The Democratic party is not so much in
need of leaders to shed tears over the evils
that are, as to suggest remedies even if they
are no better than catnip tea. They might
Just as well shed tears in solitude, as they
have lost their dramatic effect on the peo-
pie. 1t is to be L campaign OF education.
The fact that the third party was afraid
to declare for OF against the tariff or prohi-
bition, showed it to be Il drag net concern.
1t won't be the first time men went to the
creek to catch all the fish and caught none.
If the government will perform its consti-
tutional duty and put money enough in
circulation each individual will look after
getting his share and putting it in a safe
place. 1t is the neglect of this government
to organize proper financial system that
forces our people to borrow from foreign
mortgage companies at high rates of in
terest.
Why not have a dual system. composed
of national banks and banks of circulation,
both doing business on notes of the same
value. Democrat.
