Youth must have amusement and
play. 1t is nature. If it cannot
have it in the right way it will get
1t in the harmful direction and
there is not the least question but
the failure to provide innocent
amusement is the cause of more
heartbreakiu ing in the homes than
anything else even in the young
city where the matter of expense
is always the uppermost.
People who are pract,cing plo-
hibition themselves and who do
not believe in sumptuary laws
threaten to vote for it just to close
the door of the saloon to their
children. If they would provide
the innocent amusement for the
young there would be no need to
impose upon the community a
sumptuary law that really has no
place in free America.
Think these things over then
and don't be afraid of little ex-
ira taxation to establish amuse-
ment places for the young. They

perry owners ought to be willing

have yielded to the logic of hard times and ac-
cepted reductions in their compensation and that
the employees of railroad companies had their wages
increased about year ago to fit the booming con-
ditions.
The manufacturers pertnently ask how it is that
the railroad companies paying big dividends
when they are under so heavy burden of distress
1t has been announced that the railroad dividends
for the first half of the current year aggregated
$272, 1854 O41 while for the corresponding half of
last year they aggregated $273, 583,5O7
These figures, in connection with the demand of
the railroad management for increase in freight
rates or reduction in wages, go far in establishing
proof of the claim of the radicals of the land that
the effect of hard times is finally, and almost ex-
clusivey, visited upon the producing class which

Republican Prosperity.

Railroad managers say that of three things
must happen. They must be given more business,
or higher rates on existing business, wages
must be reduced
Having at heart the welfare of the party that rep
resents prosperity, they do not believe it would be
polite to reduce wages. So they suggest, in the
hearing of the interstate commission, that
it is the demand of the hour that they hold up
the shipper, which means levy every producer,
including the farmer the stock grower and the
chardst.
The republican party seems to have gone out
of the business of protecting the American wage
Garner and the men of the soil have been selected to
take its place
In the platform created by its national convention,
scant six weeks ago, the republican party
nounced in chesty tones:
We hail with confidence the manifest signs of
complete restoration of business and prosperity in
all lines of trade, commerce and manufacturing.
The response of the managers of commerce is
not an echo to the prosperity plank in the grand
eloquent platform. 1t presents an alternative of
reduced wages to the employees of commerce or an
assessment on the labor of the producers that main
tain the avenues of commerce.
1t the wages that the railroad companies say they
cannot afford to give during the prevalence of hard
times taken out of the who pay the freight,
the transaction will not be plainly visible as it
would be if deducted from the weekly checks of
the employees of commerce, and it will entail no
strikes with their disturbing effect on the republican
vote.
So it is proposed in a cold blooded way, to rob the
labor of production that the rebellious labor
that serves the common carriers may be appeased
and prevented from making demonstration during
the progress of the campaign
Such is the arrangement that is to be made for
the upholdng of the prosperity that is exploited in
the document issued by the republican convention.
Such will be the arrangement if the patrons of the
lines do not protest too loudly AL
ready the national committee of the Manufacturers
association has asked for a conference with the
traffic managers of railroads for discussion of the
proposition to increase rates. which really amounts,
It this time, to a conclusion to increase rates.
The manufacturers emphatcaly object to adj
yance in freight charges and contend that cut in
wages would be a equitable arrangement.
They assert that workingmen in other lines of labor

To Attack the Wool Trust.

While campaign details are not generally arranged
either side, it has been announced by the Bryan
management that Frank S. Monnett is to be one of
the public speakers for the democratic side in the
state of Ohio and perhaps in of the other
states
There is than ordinary significance in the
assignment of Mr.. Monnett to campaign work on
the side of the Bryanites, for he was literally
crowded out of the republican party on account of
his efforts as a republican attorney general of
Ohio, to compel trusts to comply with the laws of
the state and the orders of the courts.
dozen years ago, the public was familiar with
his legal assault on the Standard Oil company and
the final punishment inflicted upon him-retirement
from office the instance of the republican party
on account of his activity against the best contr-
butors to Mark Hanna's yellow dog fund.
He has found place of refuge within the demo-
cratic party where he will be given free rein against
the trusts and they will become his special topic
during the presidential campaign. No man in the
country is better equipped than Mr. Monnett for
the trust feature of the conflict for he has made
those illegal combinations legal study in the prac-
tice of his profession and is familiar with the meth
DDS employed by the republican party to protect the
trusts against the operation of the law
Mr.. Monnett is authorized to state that if Mr..
Bryan is elected to the presidency he will employ all
the available machinery of the government to the
end that every predatory combination may be de
stroyed.
The wool monopoly has its headquarters in Ohio
and Mr.. Monnett is familiar with its transactions.
He says it takes from the wool grower all the bene
fits that supposed to come out of the pro-
tective policy of the republican party making of
the wool tariff law travesty in approprating to
itself the profits that the protection of the govern
ment seeks to give to the wool industry
The government has thus far refused to proceed
against the wool trust It's immediate prosecution
IN the event of democratic success, is one of the
promises of Mr. Bryan, delivered to the public by
Mr.. Monnett
Here in the great sheep pasture of the west this
is subject of high Importance The wool grower
is generally republican, sefish1y So because he
believes that the tariff on wool enhances his pro-
fits. Without any change in the tariff he has been
suffering small profits losses during the past
year, the wool trust having so strengthened its
monopoly that it is able to divert into its own
treasury the margins that egitimatey belong to the
hearers of the mountains and the plains.
This will be made so clear during the progress of
he campaign that the sufferers will be able to
recognize the cause of the i'll fortune that attends
