mic questions Of late years. Why not
measure by thisS
A dance at the table which shows
the relative prices OF articles In 1853
and 1900 will answer this question. 1t
happens that she percentage OF increase
In the price Of wheat is less than that
OF any other article OF farm production.
since wheat is more directly affected
by the production In other parts OF the
world where crops have been generally
good during the last two seasons.
wheat has only advanced thirty-dvs
per cent. from 1896 TO 1900. while corn
advanced forty -eIght per cent. mess
pork sixty per cent. Lard sixty
per cent. and wool sixty-eight per cent.
Now Il 70 easy to see why the Demo
cfats -hapepned" to select this particu-
lar item ~wheat'' by which to measure
everything else. simply because 1t
shows q smaller Increase In price than
almost any other article in the list.
Yet they are grnvely marching
through the agricultural regions Of this
country stating to the farmer that -
bushel Of wheat In 1000 will buy less
OF the articles which you consume than
q bushel of wheat would buy Of those
same articles In 1S00." Let us accept
the challenge
Mr.. Bryan's first nomination occur

THE YOUNG MAN IN BUSINESS.

Richard Croker. chief Of the New
York state Democracy. recently wrote
an article for the press In which he de-
clared that no young man Of to-day
had any chance OF success OF success In
business because OF trusts, and that
the only opportunities OF the prsent are
to be found In a political career.
This statement has been re>echoed
by Democratic orators throughout the
country, in spite OF the fact that Its
falsity Is proved nt every turn in daily
life. The New York Herald's local col
umns recently told OF the arrival Of
Gustave Hultgren, young German
Immigrant. Hultgren came to this
country five years ago with shrewd
business head MS his chief working
capital. He settled In Seattle, Wash
ington, and started In the grocery busi-
ness in small way. He enlarged his
trade gradually, invested his savings
prudently In real state. and n few
weeks ago went back to Germany to
get his mother and five brothers and
sisters- Hultgren and his relatives ar
rived In New York the other day, and
the young man showed q reporter gold
and drafts to the amount OF $4,000,
all OF which he had made since his flrst
arrival In America. He wound up his
story with the assertion that the entire
West was full OF such opportunities for
young men with no other possessions
than ambition and energy.
Such q simple little story In real life
u more convincing than all the preach
ingB Of the apostles Of dissent and de-
spair. The immigrant who succeeded
where Croker prophesled failure was
proud to exhibit his money because he
felt that he had honestly earned every
dollar Of It. Croker. like many another
boss" who has achieved success In
politics, cannot tell the public whore
be got his money. There are thousands
Of chances for men to succeed In bu1i-
nen to-day, where there b one chance
Of landing at the top In politicA No
Industrial combine can equal politi-
cal machine" In narrowing the
chances Of success. and nobody real
isss the fact more fully than the
wealthy head Of the Tammany srHan-
isntion and sponsor Of the New yogk
ics trust-Denver Republican.

WHAT iF THE TRUSTS WERE
SMAShED7

Saying one day that "the Democratic
party makes no war upon wealth"
Bryan. the next day. tells men to find
out how trust magnntes are going to
vote and then vote the other way" II
that Ii not setting one class against an
other It would be hard to find q case
Of II. but let that side OF the question
60.
Let US suppose that the employees of
some great corporation. commonly
known rs trust. say the American Su-
gar Company. should take Mr.. Bryan's
advice to It's bitter end. They declare
war on their employer. and break the
company up. Would they be the better
on for II?
How soon after the Accomplishment
Of such catastrophe would the frag-
ments OF the disrupted organization
call for the men to begin work again?
III there was no break In sugar making.
would their wages be higherf Would
their employment be az steady as 1t

ufacturing and exporting nations. The
capital so invested and the Labor n
lied with It are virtually beyond meas
urement. To tear this vast industrial
system to pieces, as the Democratic
party says must be done. would b Ia
paralyze American industry as It has
been parniyzed by no financial pAnic
ever known in the country's history.
The mind shuns the attempt to I'm.
agine the disaster that would follow.
And after the job was done. what
then?
The country would take up its work
again, robbed of the unrivalled
strength that It had fiourished In, and
handicapped further by the instan'
taneous development of American
economy In other lands Practically
the United States would go out OF busi.
ness.
Bryan has the assurance to invite
the calamity involved in his anti-trust
plank because he Is not a business
man. He Is political ndyenturer, and
under his inspiration the Democratic
party has become a social ngitatOr and
disturber OF business.--NewY York Sum

Ths Democratic fault-hnders base
their e6orts to Great discontent among
the farmers In 1900 upon . diaerent
plane from that Of 1896. Then their
complaint was that the prices Of farm
products were too low. Now they COM
plain that the farmers are too prosper
ous and the prices Of their products are
roo high.
