by Abram S. Hewitt of New York. for
mcrly Mayor and Member of Congress.)
The political situation at this time is
of Il very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. At
that time it seemed possible To maintain
a distinct Democratic organization, based
upon the fundamental principles rnun-
ciatrd 10y jefferson, and which had con-
tinued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con-
venion held at Kansas City HAS how
ever. rendered all such expectations hope
less. The party which calls itself Demo
cratic is in reality Populis,ir. and l'ascd
upon doctrines which, if carried into Ct
feet, would produce political anarchy
You ask whether believe in the coin
age of silver at the ratio of IL to l.
You might as we'll ask me whether be-
lieved that an ounce should bc made to
pass for a pound in the ordinary transact
tons of commerce. The ratio is a false
ratio. The value of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows. not 10 to l.,
but 80 to |. The proposition of the plat
form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shall by law be made equal to one
dollar
You ask m" whether tn" present admin
iStration is likely to establish an irnpcrial-
lstic form of government over this coun-
try or in its new possessions
| answer that the Constitution of the
United States is too strongly intrrnched
in the affections of the people to pnrmit
its possible violation by the administra-
ton, and that if such an attempt We're
made. the Supreme Court Of the nitcl
States will surely interpret the Constitu-
ton in the spirit of its founders and for
the preservation of the constitutional gov
eminent. to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
You ask whether Democrat by voting
for Mckinley and Roosevelt could he
considered false to the interests of DEM
ocracy. l answer that do not 500 how
a Democrat who is true TO the interests
OF Democracy can in tho present exigency
take any other course than to vote for

so to vote. and | do this because I am a

DEAR BOY" LETTERS, NO. 9.

My Dear Boy:
You say that you are tired Of working
for old man Skinner. and are thinking of
going West this fall. where wnges are
We'll, I have no objection to your going
West, but don't want you to 80 till after
the election. This is the first time in
your life that you ever had an opportu-
nifty to exercise your right as an Amer
lean citizen in voting for a President OF
the United States. l don't want you to
lose your vote for the following reasons:
l. The only possible chance Of the cleo
ton Of Bryan comes from the over-cont-
dence Of Republicans. 1t makes me sad
to hear man say, "Oh. Mckinley is
going to be elected. anyhow. There is no
danger. [ have arrangements made to be
in California in November. but you won't
need my vote
Especially do I regret to hear talk of
this kind among some Of the railroad
Rlen.O If any class of men ought to come
up unanimously to the support Of Nc
Kinley and the Republican party, that
class is composed Of the railroad men Of
this country. -Four years ago there were
thousands of cars sidetracked, no build
ing and but little repairing going on.
and general stasnation in the railroad
business. Now new roads, new roadbeds,
new cars, the roads crowded with trains,
full time and better pay bless the rail
road men of this country. And it vexes
me to hear Il railroad man say, II would
have to lay off day to vote. and l guess
I'll not do that. There will be plenty to
elect Mckinley without me-" Well. if
by any possibility Mckinley should be
defeated just such men as that will have
themselves to blame.
2. No American voter has any right to
stay away from the polls or to lose his
vote if it can possibly be avoided.
My son, you are one of the sovereigns
of the United States, and you have no
more right to neglect the duties pertain
ing to your high calling than the Emperor
of Germany has to neglect the govern
ment Of that mighty empire. TO vote is
a matter Of measurable privilege, and
also q matter Gt earnest. conscientious
duty.
Two years ago you enlisted to fight for
your country as soldier, but the sur
geon turned you down and would not let
you go. | sympathized with YOU in the
bitterness of your disappointment.

MOUNTAIN STATES
TURN TO M'K|NLEY.
Prosperity the Cause of the
Welcome Change.
No One Fears .'lmperialism," While All
Are Proud of the Records Made
by the Army and Navy.
(By George l.. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho)

(By George l.. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho.)
There are many reasons which impcl
the voters of the mountain States to sup
port the nominees and the policy of the
Republican Party this fall One word
more than any other explains the position
of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record of the Republican party is
Il record of fulfilled promises.
The first act Of the party after its re-
turn to power was the enactment of the
Dinglcy tariff law, which again placed us
on a protection basis.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, idaho.
Among our principal industries are min
ing, cattle and sheep growing and farm
ing.
The great lead mines of the State are
working every man possible at wages Of
$50 per day of eight hours. During
the three years of President Mckinlcy's
administration the value of the lead pro-
duced in the State was S14 ia, OO5, while
during the last three years of President
Cleveland's administration the total value
was only $3.50. ISL
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$l.15 to $3.50 per head. gain to the
people OF the State Of over three million
dollars in the value of the sheep alone
In the year 1896 the wool clip of Idaho
was valued at S442,6S5, while for the
year 1900 it is estimated that it will bring
to the wool growers of the State So
326, 900.
\ very conservative estimate of the
number OF cattle in the State is 800, 600
They have increased in value on an aver
age of So per mead. making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they We're three years
ago. The increase in the price of horses
! Of $40 per head has also added between
one and two million dollars to the wealth
OF the State.
The voters Of this State and of the
other mountain States are not blind to
these facts. and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
in the party whose policy has so enriched
and proSpered them.
We of the West are proud Of the
achievements Of our army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi-
ton Of the Republican party in declaring
loT lue retention Ol lnt territory so gal
lantly won from Spain appeals to our
people.
They do not fear "impcrialisn,' for we
have never met an American who was
an imperalist. l am in receipt Of let
tiers from many men who have never vot-
ed anything but Democratic ticket. but
who will vote for Mckinley and Roose-
Welt on this issue alone
You can count on the electoral vote OF
Washington, Oregon. Idaho, Utah. Wyo-
ming and perhaps Montana and Colorado
for Mckinley and prosperity.

The Foolish Calf.

When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town, Ohio recently. he told story of
a calf that left its mother to run after
steer. Secretary Heath has taken up
this idea and developed it into cam
paign poster which very artistically de-
pcts Senator Hanna's idea. The calf is
seen chasing the steer in the distance:
the COW is in the foreground sanntering
quietly home. while the boy stands with
uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say
ing. You little fool. you little fool. You
ID fool, you'll be sorry when supper
time comes"
The picture is entitled ''The Foolish
Calf, or Lesson to Labor" and stand
ing by fence in front Of cottage are
farmer and woman. the man with a
full dinner pail in his hand. This poster
is sure to catch on and is likely to be Il
good vote getter.
When Senator Hanna arrived in Chi
cago this week it was shown to him and
surprised him. He had no idea that Mr.
Heath had been developing his story.
