Young men have especial reason for

Here is one Of them who+wants to per-,

Some Of the best Republican nrgu-
ments. can be found by comparing
Democratic platforms and prophecy
with the facts. Take tho Chicago plat
form and Mr.. Bryan's Tong string OF
doleful predictions. Take the Popullst
Omaha platform OF 1892. n still more
doleful document. respectfully saluted,
by the way. by the Sioux Falls conven-
ton that nominated Bryan and Towne.
How fatally ludicrous, III the light OF
events, is the Chicago declaration, that
gold recommendation has caused "a fall
in the price of commodities produced
by the people," and ''prosuation of in
dustry and fmpoverIshment OF the peo-
Pile" and "has locked fast the prosper
ity of an Industrial peoprelin the par
alysls of hard times" And the Omaha
platform. q Fourth OF July production,
is even choicer. eve meet In the
midst OF nation broughtfto the verge
Of moral, political and material ruin"
and so on. Get all the Democratic cam
patgn text bool!s of ls9s-and all Bry-
ans speeches you can. ,Read his First
Battle" Out Of their own mouths the
Democrats and Popul!s,s are condemn
ed. Exactly the contrary of pretty
much everything that they 'foretoId has
happened. 1t would be, absurd to trust
in the financial visions Of such convict
ed false prophets. 80, as

"A practical and common sense meth
cd. testing the silver theories by re-
suits, Is all that Is needed To go into
the abstract merits of the old discuss
ton would be an endless task, for OF

there Is no end.
AS to the Income tax, trusts, govern
ment by injunction, no course of read

to which observation of the facts and
an avoidance OF maudlln sentImentallty
will give sufficient information. You
need no Daniel come to Judgment to
tell you that an income tax from which
incomes of less than 81 1000 are exempt
cd Is not just or equal. AS TO the con-
stltutional question involved, you have
only TO stand by the supreme court,
however ready to reverse the decisions
of that body the Democrats may be.
There are number of books on trusts
and combinations. but tleys;can hardly
be. said to be helpful Mr.. james B.
Dill, 4 distinguished lawyer of this
city, has made some remarks, refresh
ing In their knowledge and claarness,
about trusts and their developments,
but we don't know whether they have
been published in pamphlet form or
not. The newspapers In the last two or
thres years are the best historians Of
trusts and the best cssnyisls upon
them. You see some trusts thriving:
some going to smash just like ordinary
businesses not specially mathematical
You can judge for yourself II trusts
are guilty of the crimes about which
such a hullabaloo is made. II the
country Is exceedingly well off, how
have the. trusts injured It? Are they
not simply bugaboo like the gold
