THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
ReasonA Why 1t Should BE Given to
Republican Candidates.

In the presidential elections Of 1896
and 1900 the business men OF the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
III 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 extern
SION or foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative busi-
ness vote OF tile country turned the scale
i'll lS9G and 1900. For this the business
men may we'll congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness of having
done their duty and rendered great SER
vice to the country
But how about the coming election?
The money question IN it's various phases
or the gold standard, the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing Of the Democratic party, while
the protection OF home markets and the
opening Of foreign ones is as important
as ever The Democratic platform il 81
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the gold standard is "irreyoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
on every phase OF the financial question
from the Civil War to the present time
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon, in his notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said TINT il
Judge Parker's vote and support OF his
party's candidate in 1896 and 1900 had
been decisive, 1--WE would now have the
silver Standard There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have repentcd and the par
ty promises reform. Can they be trust
ed?
The question Of protecting home mar
kets aud extending foreign markets is
one of vital Importance to business men.
From business point Of view it is a
question OF life or death. Tile Demo-
cratic party favors a tnriff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
markets. 1t is no more worthy Of the
support of business men now than it was
in 1896 or in 1900

Roosevelt and Union Veteraus.

In 1889 Theodore Roosevelt, as Civil
Service Commissioners, devised the plan
by which veterans Of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated 4 great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic adminstra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lishe'l by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds OF
them were rrinstated in the public SER
vice during Mr.. Mckinley's administra-
tion. AS that was more than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Wee President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
desire to remedy Democratic Injustice.

TRIBULATIONS OF 4 GREAT

Dear Sonny:

Dear Sonny:
Have just finished readIn' your speech si

My new teeth have gone to the dentists

Can You tell me why people who d.
things always have teeth, while those whs
don't. have none-only ears?
As was sayin'. what bothers me Is. II
you wrote that speech of acceptance whs
wrote your dispatch to Sheehan; and ii yos
wrote the dispatch what dodgasted blum
derbuss wrote your Esopus speech?
I've just finished readin' a new memoi,
Of Andrew Jackson. and it set me tbinkin
how he could stand on the St. Louis plat.
form without putting his foot through ev.
cry paragraph. Andy was like that young.
ster In the White House-he had teeth and
did things, and didn't care who wrote the
platforms SO long as he didn't have t.
stand on them.
What do you think Andy would hav>
done in Cuba, or in the Philippines, or at
Panama? l guess he'd have got there first
and consulted the consent Of the governed
afterwards.
Speaking of annexin' things. where da

STRIKE OF $1,000 TA1LoRs.
Fight Begun Against Open Shop Policy
of Clothiers.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Twelve hundred clothing cutters
went on strike yesterday. Today, it is an
nounced by the Garment Workers Trade
Council $1,000 garment workers will stop
work, too. This is the first time that the
cutters have co-operated in strike with
the men who merely sew. The strike is
against the open shop" policy which the
New York Clothing Manufacturers Assoc
citation declared several months ago. The
strikers are the tailors who work on
.'ready-to-wear" clothing, as the new style
clothier calls it. The manufacturing sea-
son for the fall and winter trade is now In
full swing.
Though the fight is only against members
of the National Association of Clothiers,
the strike is ordered in the shops of all
clothing contractors, through whom 10 per
cent of the work is done, because they
work for both association and non-assoc1a-
ton firms Several thousand Brooklyn
tailors, he said. had quit work without
waiting for today, and from $1,000 to 10000
other persons would be affected indirectly.
The employing tailors say that the strike
is against conditions which have been in
existence for years.
