as q masterstroke in tariff lie isIation We assert
our utmost respect and love for its eminent

We favor a sound currency. gold. silver and

Hon. John G.. New, who had come into
the meeting with others by invitation.
was called upon to speak. Mr.. President
and gentlemen" said Ar. New, Il thank
you for your invitation. | heartily APP
prove of your organization and hope 1t viii
be On example to others not only OF q SINH
lar kind in other States. but for organiza-
tions of various kinds of people. You are
students OF colleges. 1t is important that
students in other walks of life. in merehan-
disc and In should have oTgani-
nations 10 study politics. 1t 10 important
IN our country that young men should
study politics. the science OF government.
There is a great deal OF difference
between practical politics and theoretical
pohtics Some of the professors mistake
moral philosophy for political economy.
Free trade would be we'll In the republic of
Utopia, but when nc comes to practical re-
\~lations OF life it will not work. The mo-
i've power Is not equal to the load it has
o carry. All Republicans are not edncat-
ID. but o greater number are educated than
of the opposition. On the ship upon which
i came over there were LOO emigrants.
Seven hundred of these will be voters in a
few months. They are uneducated. and %
per cent of them will vote against you.
Their certificate of naturalization costs 80
cents. and FOR this they get the privilege 1t
has taken you twenty-one years To obtain.
You should study to direct public senti-
ment 1t is possible. in the providence of
God. to direct some of these who come
over by ship-load. 1 am not altogether
o native American, but / should insist uD-
On every man being sufficiently educated
in our law TO be able TO read it. Your time
is valuable and 1 will not further occupy
. it."
Secretary Mansfield. of the Indiana LIN
coin League. was next called out. Il am not
prepared TO make any speech sand Mr..
Mansfield. Il have been somewhat nstur-
mental in bringing about TINS meeting and
hope you Will get good results from it.
There are 10000 students In Indiana and q
large majority OF them are Republicans"
Hon. X. Il. +. PIERCE was the next visitor
called upon TO speak. when / went TO
college," saId he. I'VE did not take much
interest in politics. Mr.. Milliken has
surprised me with the information that 50
per cent. of the students are Republicans.
When / was In Wabash there were but two
Democrats there. Yet ir is not sur
prising. after al, that young men
who are studying and learning TO think
shoul@Aee Republicans. The only sin gular
thing Is that any man who gets TO think
ing for himself can be a Democrat. There
Is every reason why college men should
take ar interest In politics. They should
take such an interest as n recreation, u side
issue. Benjamin Harrison Is n college
graduate who learned Latin. Greek and
mathematics. The fact is. his election has
done more than any one thing In the his
tory of Indiana To lift il IN the opinion OF
people outside. While you may once in q
while Ind al educated man who Will 20
down IN n political contest with an unedu-
Gated man. you will ind in nine cases out
OF ten that IL Is the educated man who
wins"
