Louisville that the Legislature should
meet in the capitol building on Monday
and it IS now so near that time that the
Democrats are beginning to think that
Governor Taylor may take no action re-
garding it within the time limit set. One
day morew Ill be allowed for some init
nation from Governor Taylor, and if it
is not Forthcoming another state govern
ment will be organized at Louisville.
Governor Taylor announced tonight that
he had taken no action regarding the
agreement and that there was no posi-
BILE chance of his doing so before tomor-
row He would not say whether he would
take any action tomorrow or not. II Is
practically certain that the agreement
Will not be accepted by Governor Taylor
as it stands. He desires more specihc
promises regarding the repeal of the Goe-
bel law and a decision in the gubeTnato-
rial contest by asepa rate vote Of the two
legislative houses. To this last the Dem
ocrats say they will not agree. Regard
ing the repeal of the law, they claim
that no mention was made Of q repeal in
the Louisville conference. The talk was
entirely regarding the enactment Of q
new law to be flgned By selected men
from both parties This law would, in
the nature Of things. repeal the Goebel
law. by the mere fact Of its being later
legislation upon the subject.

"that Winnie will be loyal to the Popu-

gone to the kitchen. to help the girls
with the evening work. Suddenly the
door few open, and Simon plunged into
the room. He had returned much soon
er than usual, and Cynthia wondered
what could be the matter. He seemed

DEAR BOY LETTERS-No. 2.

My Dear Boy-You say that you have
read Mr.. Bryan's speech at Indianapolis
and that there are some things in it that
appear to be reasonable"
Well, Mr.. Bryan is very pleasant
speaker and can make plausible show
ing when he has very weak case. lie
is a clever, respectable gentleman who
learns his bread by the sweat Of his
jaw" and he has learned his trade very
WELL But let me call your attention to
few solid facts for you to consider be-
fore you feel inclined to yield your mind
to his brilliant generalities about impe-
rialism.
1. Mr.. Bryan's record proves him to
be an unsafe leader. He is a theorist
rather than a practical man Of affairs
In every campaign in the past and upon
every issue heretofore presented to the
people for settlement Mr.. Bryan has
been mistaken. The results have proved
that he was mistaken. The natural pre-
sumption is that he Is mistaken now.
When Democratic Congressman and
also a Populist leader in 1892, Mr.. Bryan
was very sure that free trade was the
thing needed to insure prosperity in the
United States. He was sure that the
.robber tariff was making it hard for
the farmer and the wage Garner to live.
He and those who believed MS he did
succeeded in convincing the people, and
the Wilson bill, free trade measure, was
adopted and became q law. Three years
of bitter experience proved that Mr.
Bryan and his friends were mistaken.
Factories were closed laboring men were
without employment; capital found no
productive investment, and the produce
of the farm brought no adequate return
to the farmer from 1893 to 1897 while
this free trade bill was the law.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan and his Democratic
Populist following dropped the tariff is
sue like a hot potato and took up that
of free silver. During that campaign he
declared that IL the free coinage of sill
yer ut the ratio of 10 to / was not adopt
ed, il a gold standard continued to be
the law and became the fixed policy of
the country, "that prices will go down Is
as certain as the law Of gravita tion;"
that ''the rich will grow richer and the
poor poorer" that there will be de-
crease in the amount of money in circula-
tom that "the army Of the unemployed
will continue to increase"
Results have proved that Mr.. Bryan
was again mistaken. Every one of his
predictions turned out to be false. We
have now protective tariff and the gold
standard law. Prices have gone up in
stead Of down, while the rich have grown
richer, the poor have shared in the gen.
eral prosperity, the amount Of money In
circulation has largely increased. and la
Dor was never more generally employed
nor more adequately rewarded than now.
Is II not fair to presume that the gen.
tleman who has always been mistaken
upon every other leading issue Is mistak-
en- about imperialism, which he declares

CHAPTER III.
Supply and Demand.

supply anu beIuduu
Five days had passed by since the
postal card from Ezra Grey was re-
ceived. 1t was now the day for him to
arrive in Boonsville.
The County Convention Of the Peo-
pies Independent party had been held.
and Winnie Grey was successful In re-
ceiving the nomination. She was now
candidate for County Superintendent
Of Public Schools in Marble County ON
the Populist ticket.
Political Simon was very proud Of his
daughter, and only one thing marred
his happiness-the awful fact that his
brother Ezra was Republican.
His first impulse after reading that
''Hurrah for Mckinley" followed By
three exclamation points, was to give
his brother a cool welcome, but after
much thought and consideration he de-
cided to treat him all right as long as
Ezra didn't let his neighbors know that
he was Republican. He felt II 1t be-
came known In Boonsville 1t would dis
grace the Grey family, especially as he
had said so much about sending for his
brother to give series Of lectures in
favor of Free Silver.
1t was bitter cup for him to swal-
low, but there was no way to escape.
So when Ezra Grey stepped from the
platform Of the train Simon grasped
his hand and gave it hearty shake. at
the same time taking secret survey OF
his clothes to see IL he had Mckinley
button on. To his satisfaction there
was nothing about his person to inform
people Of the awful truth; so with real
delight he introduced him to all he met
as his brother, Mr.. Grey, from Pennsyl
vania.
Just as they were preparing to start
for home Ezra Grey's keen ear heard q
group Of men, near by, discussing him.
One Of the men. evidently Populist,
was heard to remark:
Talk about the Populist party being,
composed Of ignorant men, and then
look at that fellows face. Would you
call him an ignoramus"
BY this time the two brothers had
started up the dusty road, and Ezra
Grey heard no more Of the conversa~1
ton.
Say, Simon" he said, did you hear,
those fellows discussing me? They
seem to have the impression that am
a Populist. Wonder how they ever
happened to think thatY he said, laugh
ing.
Blame me for that" said Simon. IT
told them that had brother back in
Pennsylvania capable Of making
speeches, and thought Of sending for
him to lecture for Free Silver in these
parts through the campaign. This was
before 1 received your card, Of course.
Is 1t possible, Ezra, that you have not
yet seen the light|
Ezra Grey chuckled, in spite Of 81
mons solemnity.
"rhe light? Is that the name they
have for the silver deluslon In this part
of the country? So you are Pop are
you. SimonT"
Indeed am. am proud Of that dis
tinction."
"Well. Simon, am truly sorry that
you have been led into the silver trap.
l have spent much time studying the
subject, and am thoroughly convinced
that free silver is not what we need
and that II is fraud"

NOT TO BE CAUG HT WITH CHAFF.

to be the paramount issue of this cam
paign?'
.. Your father remembers two cam
paigns before this when imperialism and
militarism were the keynote Of the Dem
ocratic war cry. The first was in 1864,
when the mighty Lincoln, whose name
you bear, was candidate for reelection.
| was not quite old enough to vote for
him, although was carrying an Enfield
rifle in the Union army, and remember
how unjust it seemed to me because l
was old enough to fight and not old
enough to vote. l remember that our
Democratic friends said that the re-elec-
ton of Lincoln meant the downfall "
the republic and the establishment Of an
empire by force Of arms.
The same cry came to the front in 1872
when Gen. Grant was n candidate for re-
election. "Caesarism," "nepotism" and
military tyranny" were the sum and
substance Of every Democratic speech,
and the downfall of the republic was pre-
dicted IL Grant should be elected.
Well, the logic of events proved thst
our Democratic friends were mistaken.
Lincoln and Grant were elected, but the
republic lived on. No empire was estab-
lished. No army tyrannized over the peo-
pie. The nation grew and prospered.
Free speech, free schools and free press
not only continued, but enlarged their
privileges and powers.
In this letter l have shown YOU that
the presumption is against the Demo-
cratic position.
In every campaign for forty years the
logic of events has proved that the Dem
ocrats were wrong and the Republicans
right. 1t is not unfair to presume that
such is the case this year.

German. Com mend Expansion.

Commenting on the recently published
report Of international trade, the Weser
Zeitung says that expansion pays glori-
ously in the case of the United States,
and advises Germany to pattern herself
after the new world. 1t points out that
four years ago the trade of the United
States with Cuba amounted to only ST.
100000. while it now reaches $1S,OOO,-
900. Likewise four years ago the trade
with Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Phil
ippines was 100000, 100000 and
100000 respectively. Now the Porto
Rican commerce amounts to $4,OOO,OOO.
that of Hawaii to $4,000, 900, and that
with the Philippines to $2,5O0,0O0.
Money Is Cheap.
Western towns and counties now Dor

Germany Prosperou. Under Protect,

Germany Prosperous Under Protection
Germany adopted the protective policy
in 1873 and in 1881 and again in 1885
the tariff was made higher and the en-
forcement more stringent. Ernest Il.
Williams in the National Review ENG
lish) contrasts the development under the
protective policy.
In 1S65-G9, under free trade, the aver
age annual production of coal was 49,
$4,000 tons; in 1S95-99 il was s., $780,
600 tons.
In 1S65-60 the pig iron production av-
eraged 1,165,0OO tons; in 1899 the pro-
duction was S.142. 900 tons.
Prosperity follows protection.

only to the Republicans Of New Jersey,

at hand when every man, no matter how
humble, how prominent or influential. is

all the influence in his power to perpet-
