Speak Kindly To The Boysl

Yes, we say speak kindly to them and
give them word of encouragement as they
pass down the stream of time and enter
manhood to fight the battles of life 1t is
easily given and seldom misplaced
Who knows but what beneath the ragged
coat there lies heart of gold and under
the towsled head and dirty but merry face
is brain that is capable of ruling nation.
And there are times in boys life when
there is nothing so strengthening and
helpful as a kind word spoken from the
heart Show them that you take some
interest in their work, and wnen they are
older and fighting the battles Of life they
will look back and feel grateful TO you for
ii and possibly they find occasion to help
you in return. There are great many
boys 10 our town who are just at the start
ing out point some who, possibly, will
have hard fight to keep their heads above
! this surging struggling humanity, but who
we believe will reach the height of their
ambitions, Should they fail in some
things, do not be too quick TO critioise or
condemn them, help to lift them up and
gather up the pieces and begin over again.
1t is our world, all ours and remember it
is our duty as we'll as it should BE- out
pleasure TO do this. --Statesmar Democrat.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE ILLS OF THE COUNTRY.
Severe Arrangement of the Party in Power The Democratic
Party, the Peoples Party

To Mrs. Grundy;--
81. ID. f." in the Nashville Daily
News, says: Until the Democratic
party can put forth stronger platform
than the Republican party did in 1896
and 1900, they may look for the same
overwhelming defeat" Then he con-
denses the platforms and principles as
follows:
Democratic: Ist, Tariff for revenue
only. and, Free silver at ratio of I6 to l..
grid, Anti-expansion. 4th, Retrenchment
and reform.
Republican: Ist, Protection. and Gold
Standard. ard, Expansion. 4th, Progress
and prosperity at any cost.

81. d. F." belligerently inquiries, Does
any man dare to say that progress and
prosperity has not reigned over this
whole country since 1877 What excuse
have the people to change their mindsw
1t is fair to question the democracy of
one who puts forth such argument. The
object of a revenue tariff is primarily to
raise revenue; its incidental effect is to
enable the few to plumber the many to a
limited extent and to whet their appe-
tites for more. The object and effect of
a protective tariff is to enable Rockefeller,
Carnegie, Morgan, ct al. to reduce the
American people to race of serfs.
America survived nearly a century
under bimetalism. During that time the
people generally owned their own homes
and tramps were practically unknown.
OF course this was not due to the double
standard, as many free silver men be-
lieve. But 1t would be well for gold
standard advocates to bear this fact II
mind--that bimetalism was not RESPONSE
BILE for the enrichment of the few and thu
impoverishment of the many, which Il

Our Expansion since 1897 has obvi

This imperialistic policy has cost II:

COMMENTING upon the McMnnvlle article, suggesting
breach of the rotation agreement in selecting candidate for
the State Senate which article reproduced from the Nashville
last week. the Franklin County Record
has this to say:
he snap convention Monday to be carrying
the above the delegates from this county to the

According rotation fair dealing Grundy county is entitled
to State Senator this time and think that the delegates from
this county should have been instructed support the choice of
Grundy county"
This is the only correct vew and is not presumed that the
delegates Senatorial convention will have the aronte to
take any other.

fromi Submit the vote of Indiana, Illi-
nois and Iowa to the same analysis and
see what you find.
Again, the country was emerging from
one OF those disastrous decenniAl indus
trial depressions which are common to
all the commercial nations except New
Zealand. Then the party had to bear
the odium of President Cleveland's mis-
taken course in dealing with TIE preda-
tory moneychangers OF Wall Street In
addition to this the Republican party en-.
joyed the peculiar benefit accruing from
the judicious use Of a sac, ooo, 900 "slush
fund.-" against the Democratic party's
paltry few hundred thousands--not sui.
ficient for legitimate campaign expenses.
Besides all this the bulk of the Repubi-
can voters of the East were in the EN-.
ploy of the trusts, and the idea was con-
veyed to them that their bread and butter
depended upon their vote.
In 1900 Mckinley polled slightly
higher vote, and Bryan slightly lower
vote, than in 1896, The country had
emerged from the panic of 1893 Then
the Republican party had the prestage
which came from whipping Spain, Name
an instance in history where the party
that waged a successful war was defeated
at the next contest at the polls,
Taking all these things into considera-
ton, Bryan and the Democracy made a
conspicuously gallant fight.
