THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
Reasons Why II Should lie Given to
Repnbllcnn Cnndidntes.

In the presidential elections OF 1896
aud 100 the business men OF the coun.
try exercised more decisive influence than
In any other two national elections In our
history. They voted In greater numbers
than ever before. and their vote was al
most solid In favor OF sound money. pro-
lection OF home markets, and the eSten.
sion of foreign trade. II Is handy too
much 10 say that the conservative busl-
ness vote OF the country turned the scale
In 1890 and 1900. For this III. business
men may well congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness OF having
done their duty and rendered great ser.
vice 10 the country.
But how about the coming election 7
The money question In Its various phases
Of the gold standard. the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one siEg OF the Democratic party. while
the protection Of home markets and the
opening OF foreign ones Is as important
as ever. The Democratic platform Is NJ.
lent ON the money question. Judge Par.

bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so, That party has been wrong
