Opportunities To Young Men,
1t is the plea OF the party of destrue
ton that this development OF ouf
civilization takes ali opportunities To-
advancement away from the young
men. l am Willing 10 leave that &c

Young man has neither money, friends
nor any asset but his industry. his
courage. his honor and his ability.
Would he have as great an opper-

he find position in the era OF the
small shop as easily as in the era oil
the department store? No. because
each shopkeeper kept his own shop
Could he start up shop of his own

man have greater opportunities in the
hundred separate blacksmith shops
which used TO produce the crude plows
of this section of the nation or in the
great Oliver Chilled Pillow works OF
our state with its regiments OF EN-
ployes, it's heads of departments. Its
distributing agencies, and all the
qualifications OF its vast Industry
put 1t to the young man himself;
Would you rather take your chances
of securing n position in one of the
blacksmith shops which used to make
plows. or in this great manufacturing
organization? Would you rather take
your chances of securing employment
by one of the little storekeepers OF
former days. or at the hands OF a sreal
general mercantile trade like Jchr
Wanamaker or Marshall Field? Would
there be better opportunity for ad
vancement on one of the little bank

ance in all the world. These are Illus
! trations within my own personal OBJ
servation. Ard the history of every
! successful business enterprise in this
| country. which the party Of destruc-
| ton In this campaign declares is taking
| away from young men their oppor-
| tunities. Is on the contrary the history
| of the constant and certain and alb
| solutely necessary advance of young
| men from the lowest positions to the
| very head and 2eneralship of these
great industrial armies. all of which
are developments of civilization itself
For civilization is nothing more than
| the inter-dcpendence of human beings
upon each other, instead of the de
pendence of each individual upon him
self. Therefore, civilization requires
of each man the most exacting dis
charge of his duties And SO IL is
that these great Industrial enterprises
of production. transportation and dis
tribution. instead of taking opportuni
ties away from the young man. afford
an Increased number of opportunities
TO the young man.
To destroy this development Of civil
ization. whose two great principles nj,
combination and cooperation. is to d.
stroy civilization itself. Tina. is what
