To the young voter the gold party says !:
"Ours is the respectable party" Yes, II
robbery is respectable; If fraud is re-
spectacle, If bunting every noble aspira-
tion of the soul is respectable, If coming
wealth from the sweat of toll Is respect
able, if creating paupers by the million,
If destroying personal liberty, II Op-
pressing the poor, If forging chains Of
poverty for the masses, II crushing and
debasing instead of ennobling and elevat-
ing man, If retarding instead of promot-
ing the onward march Of civilization and
humanity is respectable, then, indeed, Is
the goldite party beyond question, pre-
eminently respectable. Young man, II
you believe that the nOblest work of God
is man; that civilization means intelli-
gent impulse, moral worth social eleva-
tion, nobility of soul, grandeur of human
perfection, higher ideallties and grander
realizations of human evolution, then
you cannot ally yourself to party that
is based upon wealth, assumption, pre-
tense, pageantry, glitter, hypocrisy and
show. Every system, political, sOolal
or religious, must be measured by the
men 1t produces. 1t is the aim Of the
party led by Mr., Bryan to ultimately
produce perfect man. Choose you, then,
which way you will go. Your choice will
determine the scope and grasp of your
soul. Martin j. Foran.

The young men Of the United States
should rally to the support of william j.
Bryan, without regard to the heretofore
party affiliations OF themselves or their
fathers. Mr.. Bryan Ia emphatically and
unqualihedly the young mems candidate.
A comparatively young man himself,
his sympathies, his interests, and his
aspirations are In harmony with those
who have most Of their lives In the
future-who look forward to creating
business successes for themselves. 1t is
not SO strange that men who have ac-
quired vast riches, and who are In the
"sere and yellow leaf" should want to
preserve existing conditions; for having
laid the foundation for their fortunes in
the prosperous times Of bimetallism, and
having enough and to spare, they do not
need better opportunities. But young
men struggling In the competition Of
business, or looking forward to beginning
the struggle soon, can only find hope and
encouragement In better conditions than
those now existing. These conditions
must be secured for young men, by young
men. The young, men Of the country are

THE BURcHARDs OF '96.

There never was campaign in the
United States in which the Republican
party has had as many Burchards as in
this.
Bourke Cochran said in his opening
speech in New York that the dishonest,
lazy and shiftIess farmers of the West,
wanted to cheat their creditors by com
pelling them to accept So cent dollars.
John Hay, the millionaire son-in.law Of
Cleveland speculator and gold gambler,
said, in a speech before the students of
Western Reserve College, "Bryan is a
mere brawler of riot and sedition, an
ignorant and meandering orator of the
muddy Platte"
Edward Lauterbach, chairman of the
Republican executive committee in New
York, inc speech before the New York
Republican committee on Saturday even
ing, Oct. II, used the following language
"No blood will be shed-at least not
yet, but if they attempt to subyert your
supreme court, if they should succeed,
by any chance. in foisting upon you
these horrible doctrines-anarchistic,
socialistic and communistic-wh that
platform, adopted by this populistic
brood, contains, we will not abide by
that decision"
John H. Palmer, the gold Democrat
candidate for President and under pay

especially interested in the election Of Mr.
Bryan

The Bryan tour through Ohio is one OF
the most remarkable of modern times.
No candidate Of either political party,
not even the Plumed Knight, could
arouse as much enthusiasm as Mr.. Bryan.
We feel graceful to Mr.. Bryan for giving
so much of his valuable time to the
eighteenth district. He spoke at four i'm
portant wellsvllle, East Liver
pool, Youngstown and Alliance At
Youngstown It is said over 0,000 people
mbled to hear him. Last night he
wound up at Akron where the crowd
was so large that there were not halls
enough In the city TO hold them. The
people were scattered all over town and
the only way that Mr.. Bryan could
reach them at all, was to drive from
square to square, talking first TO the
people on one side of him and then on the
other. Mr.. Bryan tas a wonderful
amount Of vitality. His voice is no
hoarser now than when he spoke In Can
ton on August 10, and yet he has made
over 800 speeches since that time, the
most of them being in the open air. He
will go on with the fight against the
gold standard until November 3, and 1t
looks now as II the prayer Of the Republi-
can committee that he should break down
will not be answered,

CONDEMNED.

Bishop Wigger, Of the Newark IN. J.)
diocese, condemns and deprecates the
course of Archbishop Ireband in giving
the public letter on the campaign
issues of the day calculated TO arouse
the passions of men that have lain dor.
mant since the closing days of the war.
He said:
archbishop Ireland always has been
an extremist. / am thankful to be able
to say that l cannot agree with the senti-
ments expressed by him. The citizens
of this great country are too conservative,
they have too much sense to do any
thing but return to their different occupa-
tons and work with might and main for
the fairest, richest and most prosperous
country that God has given His child
ren.
According to Archbishop Ireland, the
Chicago platform is a declaration of
secession and the Chicago nominees are
leaders in movement to disrupt this
glorious Union. That is absolutely not
true. dare say ami / believe that the
men who framed the Chicago platform,
and the men fighting for victory under
its standard, are as good men, as pure
patriots as Archbishop Ireland.

One Of the most favorable signs In
this campaign is the fact that the gold
papers with their outrageous lies, find
few readers among the honest and intelli-
gent class Of our population. Their mis-
statements are so outrageous that decent
people refuse to either read or believe
them. When the people want to know
the truth, they buy the New York Jour
nal, the Cleveland Recorder, the Pitts
burg Post or the News Democrat, all
penny papers.

cause they have in the office of the secre'
tary of the treasury a distinguished
citizen of your State, ]. G. Carlisle,
whose devotion to sound money has
been demonstrated by high courage, and
his stand for the credit and honor of the
government commands almost universal
commentator.
Mark Hanna, in letter to the Cleve-
land World, said:
"The Chicago platform means revolu.
ton and repudiation. Our country's
flag has again been fred upon by South
Carolina, and the honor of the United
States will not be entrusted to band of
Tillman's, Altgeld's and Bryan's."
Henry Clews, the Wall street banker
oracle, said:
"Wall street has learned to believe
that there are greater pretenses than
party platforms; than legislative sub:
serviency to popular ignorance be gotten
of free suffrage. They know that there
are situations and events which can in
stantly coerce and convert the most
reckless legislators into willing servants.
The near prospect of the authorization
of free coinage-a counting OF heads
showing certainty of two.thirds vote
in the house and senate for IL to l.
would evoke in Wall street the kind of
conditions that no congress has ever yet
dared to disregard, and the cause of free
coinage would be overthrown at the
moment when its success seemed most
certain. 1t is this reserved power in
which Wall street is reposing."
Now comes Corporal Tanner in his
tour of the country with the high pen
stoned and high salaried generals, and
says in speech to a Canton audience
on Monday, Oct, 10:
"When you hear Bryan yell, you
will observe concomitant stagger.
When you hear a man hurrah for Bryan,
you will observe man from home not
surrounded by respectable influences;
you will hear man whose personal
appearance suggests that he has nc
acquaintance with bath"
With all these and more to hear from
can it be possible for the Republican
party to more recklessly invite over
whelmning defeat?
The independence Of the common peo
pie is yet in good state of preservation
and their still remains a modicum oi
American manhood, and we believe
that injury cannot be added to insult by
continuance of the same conditions
which they are now under.

THE PLATFORM OF ANARCHY.

John Hay, one of the private secreta-
ries of President Lincoln, now million
aire by grace of marriage with the
daughter of man who robbed the State
of Minnesota of s3,000,00O, addressed
the students of the Western Reserve
College at Cleveland Tuesday, Oct. 6.
He calls his address "the platform of
anarchy" and has issued it in pamphlet
from as an electioneering document.
The address is filed with the spleen
and arr ogance characteristic of the drones
of the body polite. Something of the
statements made in the address can be
learned by what he says of William ].
Bryan, who he says 'is so limited in in
telligence and so sparing in veracity as
to claim that few silver mine owners
are the masses and all others are classes;
one who has never read the constitution
of the United States, and if he has, re.
membered very little ofit--one who by
education or natural temper of mind is
mere brawler of riot and sedition-a
stirrer-up of strife and hatred between
citizens and sections; one who had no
higher purpose than the vagrants en-.
vious longing to put ring in the nose
of industry and thrift; meandering
orator from the muddy and wide.mouth-
ed Platte, boy orator who has much
to learn"
A decent regard for the proprieties is
supposed to be the eminent characteris-
tic of the advocates of a gold standard.
They fatter themselves that they are
made from better strata of dirt than
ordinary mortals. They want the CON-
man man who works with his hands,
and as Corporal Tanner, in his 5000
speech in Canton, said sis in need of
BATH" to worship at their shrine and
make obeisance to their majesties. Yet
such men are like the Turks who abstain
from the use of intoxicating liquors but
give themselves over to all manner of
excess and crimes without compunc-
ton.
The private lives of the men who try
to besmirch the private and public
character of Mr.. Bryan as John Hay has
done and who hold up their hands in
holy horror when attempts are made to
render justice to the common people, is
one vast sea of rottenness and corrup-
ton. Such men despoil workingmen's
innocent daughters, and after blighting
their lives, throw them out in the street
to lead lives of shame. They are guilty
of all manner of excess and debauchery.
They drive poor men to suicide and
workingmen's wives to insanity. Their
whole lives ale whited sepulchers, filled
with dead mems bones. Their open
pretentions to virtue and morality are
only thin covering of all that is mean
and despicable. They have no concep-
ton of true christianity and they never
praise men without such men are willing
to do their bidding.
To be condemned by such men ought
to be praise indeed with honest men.
William ]. Bryan, the scholarly orator
and christian statesman, ought to be
proud of the contuinely and sneers Of
such leeches on the body polite. Thanks
to the wisdom of the common people in
making him their choice in this camp
aign. He stands the peer of any of his
traducers in character and ability, and
above them in all that makes patriotic
christian statesman.

One-third of the able-bodied men OF
the United States are out of work. They
stand ready and willing to work at any
price that will give them enough to sus-
tain life. The man who has work, cannot
be sure of his job so long as men are
willing to work for less. The oompeti-
tion of the idle workingman will bring
wages down TO the lowest notch.

If the American people cannot be trust
ed to control their own money legislation,
then they are not capable of stlf-govern-
ment on any question, because the ques-
tion Of the quantity and the legal quality
of the means of legal payment money
is the greatest question that can engage
the minds of the people of any nation.

History shows that there has never
been panic or hard times, when prices

there has never been good times or pros

No man who has work today, that pays
him fair wages, can hope to keep 1t so
long as there are ten men willing to step
into the place and work for less. So
long as these idle men are in the market
for work and work is scarce, wages will
be low. No new enterprises can be
started without there is hope of a profit.
Thsre can be no profit without rise in
prices. There can be no rise in prices
without there is a demand for goods that
exceeds the supply, There can be no de-
mand unless the men who buy, have en-

unless there is money to pay for it. The

The general average Of prices depends
entirely on the quantity of money in this
country. Changes Of tariff may have a
temporary influence on the price Of GER
tain articles, but never has had, nor
never can have the slightest effect On the
general average of prices as a whole.
History and facts show this. We have
had rising prices and good times under a
high protective tariff, ana have had fall
Ing prices, panios and hard times under
the same nigh protective tariff. The
price of wool fell from 81 per pound in
1866 TO 90 cents pound in is,6, under
a high protective tariff. Changes of gen.
eral rrices with resulting good times or
bad times are entirely dependent upon
fluanCal legislation and upon nothing
else The tariff high or low, has abso-
iutely nothing to do with 1t.
