who know the perils and wrongs OF irre-
sponsible banking and moro irresponsible
currency, will many of them secretly vote
the Repr blican ticket IN order to let good
enough money alone. German.Americans
are especially sensitive on these issues and
the Democratic party will sustain severe
losses from that element on this ac-
count Many Democrats who believe
IN Cleveland personally. but who
know that no man can rise
as master above his party as President. and
many other Democrats who like Cleve-
land. but fear Stevenson, WILL secretly vote
for the Republican ticket and the prevail
ing general prosperity and safety. Many
manufacturers who do not want free trade
In America and American goods manufact-
ured in Europe, will vote secretly TO keep
their own factories open and their own pros
perity continued. Vast numbers of Demo
cratic workinRmen IN factories. who see
for themselves that the Democratic plat
form means free trade. and that free trade
for the Repu blican ticket and the perpetu-
alton of their own wages.
SOLDIERS AND FIRST VOTERS.
Moro than all, in the East and ell over
the North. legions of Union soldiers now
Democrats, but not able to vote for candi-
dates who were drawn as conscripts and
represented in the army by substitutes,
against gallant soldier. will secretly vote
for comrade Harrison. Astili mIghtier re-
enforcement will come to the Republican
party direct. as q sufficient relief corps in
och sy,,p aH G>a<o in, ha
are the 100000 or more of the
sons, and other young men. of Union SOL
dIers who will this year cast their first vote
for President. There are enough of these
new Republican voters of themselves to
give q Republican majority IN New York
and every close Northern State. In the
East. and all over the North. too. there IS q
steady public and secret drift of Irish
Americans toward the Republican party.
and, indeed. of oil the elements of foreign
birth. especially among the people speaking
the Polish language. There is also mighty
reinforcement to the Republican party be-
cause of its pronounced position Of Ameri-
canism. and its defense of American inter-
ests. American rights and American man
hood.
In the West eli the drifts that have
mentioned are not so certainly and aggres-
sively in motion. But the West which is n
creation of the Republican party. which
has been transformed from wild land into
great States and prosperous cities under
Republican policies. will not depart from
its Republican moorings Low. The Union
soldiers, who have IN past years gone off to
-
times and some of whom are aliured by
talk of inflated money. are still the most
intense of Americans, and will resent,
first of all the proposition of
the Democratic party to Europeanize
the United States in regard to
manufacturing and labor. The eighty
thousand Union soldiers in Kansas. who
have gone there aud found homesteads un-
der the Republican law. know the differ
ence between comrade Harrison and con-
script Cleveland. So do the fifty thousand
Union soldiers in Nebraska ana the G.. .00O
In Iowa, and 80 do the Union soldiers who
make up O majority of the voters In both of
the Dakotas. Besides, suoh of these vet
erans as have gone Oft to the Alliance see in
the South the Alliance party used to protect
the Democratic party. and plainly see in
the treatment of General Weaver in the
South what it all means. In the North
western States. too, in the most of which
the manufactured products now half equal
IN value the farm products. there is rs
sturdy spirit of defense of protection and
for American wages as In the East. and the
farmers themselves form the strongest part
of tho line. In the whole West in Indiana
and clear to the Pacific coast the Repub-
lican party WILL find the Union soldiers
and their sons and other young kinsmen
coming forward to vote against electine
conscripts and in favor of electing COM
rades.
In the mountain and Pacific States the
protection sentiment Is as strong as any
where In the Union with manufacturers
and farmers, and frult-growers and min
ers, and especially with labor
ers who do not want the prod
ucts of their hands brought into
competition with goods brought . from
China and Japan made by laborers
getting from seven TO twenty cents day.

President. while to the lead. COAL iron. cop.

of their house. the dividends OF their com
panies and the wages of their workiugmen

drift of conservative and protection
Democrats generally, of rotectionist.
among Democratic workingmen especially
and of sound money men among Democrati,
business men every where. will provide fol
rs protection and honestmoney majority
