SWEET SPRINGS Mo-, July 25.-
Senator George G. Vest is spending
the summer at his home here. He
has so far recovered, and is so I'M.
pressed with the Importance ofthis
campaign that he contemplates tax
ing the stump.
"The republic against the empire"
he said to-day, "has deeper signifi-
cance than campaign cry. 1t is
the truth. | know that this Ad-
ministration has thoroughly plan
ned to reorganize this Government
so that it shall be a centralized
power. not hampered at Washington
by local conditions; in other words,
without constitutional limitations.
THE HAMILTON IDEA.
"The Republican leaders believe
in the teachings Of Alexander
Hamilton, who said that the Gov.
ernment of Great Britain was the
nearest q model of all Governments
ever devised by the brain ofman.
The Hamilton idea lives at Wash
lngton to-day. Mckinley and Hay
believe in 1T.
"If we mean to save the constitu-
tion of our fathers, if wemean to
keep this great republic intact as
we received it we must elect Bryan.
The secret plans Of the Republican
leaders are q strong Government
with constitutional limitations.
This is the fight. The lines are
drawn. There can be no quitbling.
1t is the constitution of our fathers
against Imperialism.
ACT OF THE PEOPLE.
"The situation in China must not
be misunderstood Ii the Chinese

be the act Of the American people,
not of the Republican party alone.

any such epithots? We do not
believe in a party appropriating to
itself all of Of the honesty, patriot

as the Republicans attempted to do
in 1896, yet we feel confident in
saying that the best craftsmanship
in the republic today is against the

q
Making all due allowance for the
exaggeration of partisanship, it is a
fact that Mr.. Bryan represents the
broad principles Of Democracy
the rule of the people as distln
guished from the dominance of q
plutocratic class. In his opposition
to trusts, his aversion to the ac.
quirement of foreign territory ex-
cept with the view of making it an
integral part of the United States,
his declaration against the mainten.
anee Of standing armies. and in his
attitude regarding economic ques-
tions generally, be represents what
has come to be regarded as the
popular side. If we are TO accept
the opinions ofsuch men as Senator
Hoar and Carl Schurz, the Ameri.
can people are now at the parting
of the ways. The Republican mana.
gers will make o q fatal mistake If
they underrate Mr.. Bryan's abili.
tics or his popularity. lle Is o

siasm Of the masses and who, at tho

very serious complaint against Oen'
ator Hoar, says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, whose lint cotton conscience
is capable of conforming to every
wind of doctrine.
1t seems that after the aged and
affable senator bad followed his de.
nunciatio of republican Imperialism
by falling with all his might on the
bosom of his "best beloved presi.
dent,' be was made the object of a
very severe criticism in an open
letter addressed to him by Mr..
Erving Winslow. The senator
made very feeble response to this
scathing document, but in the ecourse
of that response he quoted from a
letter he had received from ex-Gov-
ernor George S. Boutwell,. These
extracts placed the ex-governor in
the light of indorsing Mr.. Hoar's
position as well as his purpose to
support Mr.. Mckinley.
This has somewhat ruffled Mr..
Boutwell's feathers, and he feels
compelled, in view of the fact that
Senator Hoar garbled his letter in
the most extraordinary way, to
make public statement in regard
to the matter, The garbled extracts
contained strong limitations that
Mr.. Boutwell, approved the senator's
purpose to support Mckinley and
Hanna's scheme of imperialism,
whereas the letter was a strong
protest against this purpose. Of
Mckinley, Mr.. Boutwell, said in his
letter: "EIe deserves defeat and is
destined to receive it. The effort
to place Roosevelt on the ticket pro-
cceds upon the idea that the ticket
is to be defeated, and Roosvelt's
resistance is for the same reason,
He does not wish to go down with
the administration. The detection
in the republican party-in the
ranks'of the party--is universal,
and your speech will increase it
very materially. The president is
not gaining in any state, nor in any
city or town. He has no defenders
on the ground Of right and justice.
If you, who admire the president
on personal grounds, cannot defend
him on the ground of right and
justice, how can he be regarded
otherwise than as betrayor of the
country by those who have no
regard for him personality"
We have printed this extract in
order to show that Mr.. Hoar IN his
favorite attitude Of falling to pieces
does not represent all the New
England leaders. We have no
doubt that there are thousands of
republican voters in that region
who will repudiate the revolution
ary md dangerous schemes of the
Hanna syndicate.

of this element. They are now declaring
with emphasis their conviction that
every man of twentyone who casts a vote
for the first time will be found in republi-
can ranks and that it will be extremely
hard for any man under thirty, no mat
ter what his affiliations, to escape.
There can be no mistaking the issues
as they are presented to the young men
by the two parties. On the one hand the
republicans present Roosevelt, whose
fake hunting of big game in the west
for magazine purposes only-whose
khaki uniform, and whose single handed
capture of the Spanish army are expect
ed to blind their eyes to everything else.
He is hearlded as the ideal of young
manhood, the one thing that ever hap
pened; and the young men are expect
ed to rush madly into the republican
party solely because the opportunity is
presented of voting for "Teddy,'
graciously furnished by Mr.. Hannah.
1t is an insult to the intelligence of
those to whom this sort of appeal is
made, but it may catch the unthinking
There is everything in the democratic
attitude to appeal to those who stop to
think. AS Mr.. Or: ker pointed out, the
great issue from the young man stand
point is that of the loss of opportunity
under the trust system, which is the out
growth of republican policies and which
will be fastened upon the country for all
time by republican success. The openly
acknowledged purpose OF the trusts is to
cut down the expense of production by
reducing to the minimum the number of
pers employed and paving them the
lowest possible wages or salaries. The
sitting of competition under the policy
for which Mckinley stands has not
only thrown out of employment many
thousands Of men who have in the past
been able to earn excellent liyelihoods,
but it has practically closed the doors to
the thousands of young men just ready
and anxious to enter upon a business
career.
The young man of today has nowhere
to turn but to some trust. He must
take his chances to become low salari-
ed emplayee of some giant corporation,
with little oppo 'tunity for bettering his
condition There is no hing in the pros
pect to inspire ambition. The republi-
can party is owned and controlled by
these interests and the reelection of
Mckinley will strengthen their power
for harm to the people-harm to the
young men in particular.
This is one OF the great issues of the
campaign and it is not going to be show
ed into the backgrown either by the
efforts of the president and his lieuten-
ants to ignore it, or by the howl about
Roosev 1t and San Juan Hill. The
dangers of republican success must come
home to every young man who considers
the question at all; and the majority of
young men are not SO shallow or SO silly
as to cast their ballots in SO great an
emergency without consideration.

to yesterday, Thursday, 60 car loads had
been shipped. Track prices have ranged
from $50 to $100, an average probably
being $50. Returns from shipments
consigned this week have run from $50
to $85, net; but most raisers prefer to
sell on the track. The melons are not
as large as usual, this season; but they
are generally ripper than the first ship
ments of the past three years. 1t is be-
