young man OF New Castle who would
rather have somebody decide for him than
take the trouble to think out for himself
the policy which he 20 to follow, is In
dire disbresa over the present division
that ex sta, sven among the thoughtful
ones OF hls townspeoplo. He believes
now that differences OF opinion not only
makes horserhcea but places him between
Mephisto snd the dsep sea
The present existence of hard times,
particularly In New Castle, but In ali
manufacturing towns where such large
number Of lAborers are employed. has
placed this young mans future decidedly
Ia doubt. In trying to learn the remedy
from the lips Of his own personal friends
and fellow. townsmen he has been all
turned around aud Is almost resdy to
give up Ia despair
David W. ElkInton says ths whole
present trouble Is that we are living In
cheap country and that the only rem
edy is the election OF William Mckinley
10 the Presidency and restoration to q
country Of high prices, high wages aud
prosperity. That will make the wheels
Of machinery hum once more and mako
every body busy again

who wouldn't like his name used, tells
the young man that the complete restor-
alton Of American bimetRllism Is tho only
remedy tor decreasing the public debt and
restoring prosperity all along tbs liuo.

George NJ Riley says there Gao bs no
prosperity II this nation devlates from
gold standard. An honest dollar OF 100
ceuts cannot be coined out OF SO cents
worth Of silver Equality Ia the cjm
mcsclol velue OF the metal coined Is un
qasstionably the only safeguard TO the
patlon's money. Ia the case OF brewers,
/ who must buy much OF their material
abroad. it would bs almost financial ruin.
Harold Sudel says lt Is folly to talk
about any change In the money question
bringing prosperity Absolutely the only
remedy is the opening Of our own natural
resources. Wrestling from the foreign
lords All that fertile land OF the West
held by them as idle as IN the Aztec days,
tearing from tbs minln< spoodlatofs ant
trusts all those productive mining rs
giors Geld idle by them for speculation
and to keep c)al and iron prices high
Rov V S Collins declares that SO long
as the licensed saloon exists In tho state
aud nation homes will be wrecked, young
men ruined and bright prospects
blghted; therefore the only possible
rsllaf that will be enduring ia tho adop
tion OF absolute Prohibition under whiei
the American people will prosper foi

E l. Rogers contends that the whole
trouble can be easily adjusted II th'
people will stop aud think for moment
! Just what IS needed Is more business aud
less law at Washington and the election
