OUR YOUNG MEN.
Th~ir nrtast Prospects, niiEhted by

What has the future In store for tine
young men Of the country? This is n
serious question and one that should
appeal 10 every father and mother in
this fair land. II parents can view
wiihindinercnce the changed condition
that Is coming upon the country, a
change that " left TO he wrought out
by the money kings and monopo!ies
will condemn their offspring Ia life
uf humble seryitudr with all the ay-
cUucs 10 advancement closed against
them, Il Is conclusive evidence OF men
tai weakness. Parental love aud solicit
tude for the welfare of offspring il not
wanting among our people, and such
iuscnsibility AS fails to cause parents
Ia entertain serious misgi,ings con
corning the future OF their children
under the changes that are rapidly tax
ing place, can only I've accounted for
through dullness Of perception aud de-
fccti'e reasoning powers.
Tic Helf-mndc man who started in
lifc poor and through his own efforts
acquired wealth and station has been
the pride and boast OF our country
s'E,',, ii,- iuuu,iutiuu uT me government
The writer has personal knowledge Of
many instances Of men whose only cap
iinl, when starting Ia life, consisted OF
healthy bodies ami minds, who through
industry au'i frughiity won their way
10 the front In the industrial and bust
ness world and became the heads OF
large, prosperous establishments ss
manufacturers and merchants,
Our population Is less than l5.0Ou.0uu
while we have room and resources SUI
iiCirut for 100000, 600. Therefore there
Is no natural or necessary reason why
the opportunities TO advancement
should hc 80 abruptly closed against
the Young men of the country. The de
,rlupmeut of our material resources ~
but fairly begun, and with an open
field and % fair chance the opportunities
ri the young men of the country ought
TO be as favorable during the century
To come ns they have been during the
century that has past. Hut mnnupolics
are usurpiug the rights and privileges
Of the people and preparing an unin,it-
Ing future for those who arc to follow
us. The conditions for nm uligarrhy
NJ wealth that will reduce the masses
uf our people Ia hcvrrs uf wood aud
drawers ~ water are rapidly maturing
There Is no hope for the future unless
the people realize the causes that are
che
The none" power through gold con
traction and banks ~ issue must be
driven from power The criminal com
binutiun of creditor interests, who have
cornCrcd the money 81 the world. and
through manipulating the law-makiug
bodies In favor Of gold contraction and
falling prices have humslrung the in
dustrial world and arr plundcring the
people must be oSCrthruWn, aud in
duEtry again made free 80 that man
kind may labor and produce wealth and
free themselves from the clutches Of
the Insurer. When this b. done the poo
pie will find That their chief obstacle in
dealing with other questions las been
removed When the combination that
manipulate money, credits and prices
are deprived Of their power Of plumber
the world, through expanding credits
and contracting money, industry will
again be free and other munopuiics can
be- easily attended TO. The power that
mnnipuiatcs credits and controls the
money volume has all industries at Its
mercy. The man behind the bank coun-
ter by the shake Of his head can make
solvent merchant fall.
Parents, as you love your children
and desire their hcncdictionB through
out all time, il becomes your duty to
understand the money question and
contribute your mite Ia leave this re-
public rs an inheritance 10 bless them
and future generations. Silver
