A Business Mans View.

The weekly financial letters of Henry
Clews, the veteran New York banker,
are familiar to people throughout the
country and are quoted from by scores
of newspapers as conservative, sensible
and patriotic. Mr. Clews is not politi-
clan, but in Eyerybody's Magazine he
has an article which shows that his polit-
ieal advice is as sound as that he gives
upon matters of business and finance.
The article is in the form of an answer
to the question, (which is the safer
vote to give, a vote for Roosevelt or a
vote for Parker?" Mr.. Clews puts no
evasion or doubt into his answer and it
ought to be read by every voter in the
country. Here is the gist of the argu-
ments and considerations which he sets
forth.
Roosevelt and his party are of single
mind.
But Parker and his party are of many
and contradictory minds.
Therefore, if you vote for Roosevelt
and his party you know what you are
voting for. But if you vote for Parker
and his party, you don't know which of
the many contradictory views in the
party is going to prevail, or what hodge
podge of absurd compromise they will
patch up.
You can be sure that Roosevelt and
his party will treat the tariff wisely.
How Parker and his party will treat
the tariff, nobody knows but We all fear
1t seems sensible proposition that if
the tariff is to be revised, it should be
modified by it's friends rather than torn
at by its enemies.
With Roosevelt and his party we are
sure of sound money.
But with Parker and his party we can
only hope for its permanence.
The gold standard is irrevocably fixed
if the Republican party stays in power,
but not irrevocably if the Democrats
win.
In 1896 and 1900 Roosevelt voted for
sound money and for Mckinley and his
beneficent policy, while Parker voted for
what he admits was an error, and to up
set what Mckinley had so wisely
builded.
We know that Roosevelt and his party
will deal with the trusts seriously and
vigorously, as in the past.
But how Parker and his party will
uCdA Win thC u dosS, AO OAo Aho"S.
Roosevelt and his party will be sure to
continue the John Hay policy.
But Parker and his party are likely to
plunge into the unknown, with paths
that lead nowhere in particular.
They say Roosevelt will override the
constitution. Parker says he will stand
by the constitution. How absurd this
is,
Roosevelt and his party have always
stood by the constitution.
Parker and his party make "constitu-
tionalism" mask for lack of agrees
iveness.
n Who has ever seen the "big stick?
Roosevelt has been President for three
years. When has he ever used club?
Seldom have we had President whose
acts have been more constantly the acts
of a man of peace.
We have always liked our big-st
Presidents-Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson,
Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Mckinley
they all brought us honor.
No living man can charge Roosevelt
with deceitsulness, and nobody fails to
know what he is driving at.
Parker may not be deceitful, but he
takes a longer time to show himself open
and above board.
