FROM THE COMNONER
MR.. BRYAN's PAPER

publican managers have sought to recover
some lost ground. They print the names
of two contributors, Andrew Carnegie
and Mrs. Russell Sage, and they announce
that they will make other contributions
public AFTER THU ELECTION.
An Associated Press dispatch tells the
story in this way:
New York, Oct. 9.--The fact that An
drew Carnegie has contributed $4,000
to the campaign fund Of the Republican
cause was announced to-day by State
Chairman Woodruff. Mr.. Woodruff also
announced that Mrs. Russell Sage has
contributed $1,000 to the same fund.
There have been no other large centri-
buttons from individuals. Mr.. Woodruff
said. but small sums are coming in from
various sources George r. Sheldon,
treasurer of the national committee, when
asked about the contributions, declined to
discuss them, saying that he would pub
lish LIST OF ALL THE CONTRI-
BUTTONS MADE TO THE REPUBLI-
CAN COMMITTEE AFTER ELEC-
TON"
II the Republican managers are willing
to make Carnegie's contribution public,
why not give the names of other heavy
contributors? The explanation is that
Mr.. Carnegie has given away 80 many
libraries out of the money which he has
obtained through undue favoritism'' at
the hands of the government that the
Republican managers rely upon his .'pop-
ularity' among the people to prevent the
fact of his contribution doing injury.
But let it be remembered that Andrew
Carnegie has good reason to contribute to
Republican campaign fund and we need
go no farther than to a Republican news
paper for proof.
Several years ago it was reported that
Andrew Carnegie had offered to pay $780,
OOO, eco for the Philippine Islands, pro-
vided he was permitted to assure the Fill
pinos that they would be given their in
dependence.
Commenting upon this story, the Chi
cago Tribune said that the steel mag
nate has tried the patience Of his friends
severely in some of his late bids for no
toriety." 1t expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Carnegie is constantly posing, and
said "he scattered libraries throughout

The next time Percy saw him Jimmy
was full-fledged clerk in the auditing
department Of the road and seemed to
have nothing left to ask for. He was
engaged to the loveliest and sweetest
|girl that ever happened. Percy wasn't
feeling In happy frame Of mind at
the time. having been treated very
shabbily by the manager Of the hard.
ware house he had been working for.
He was: rather glad to get away from
Jimmy, that round-faced embodiment
|of satisfaction. 4.
He's found his level, . thought Percy
when they had parted. He'll save his
money and he'll have the best wife and
the neatest little house and the finest
bunch of children and the prize veg
etable garden and he'll jog along on his
little salary to the end Of his days and
be happy. Well, we aren't all made
alike r,
It was only part Of his prophecy
that came true. s. z.

III. First voter.

Young man, great responsibility at
taches to your first vote. As you begin,
so you are likely to continue, The mo-
mentum that carries you into "a party at
the beginning of your political life is
apt to keep you in that party unless some
convulsion shakes you out Of 1t. Start
right, and in order that you may start
right, examine the principles of the par
ties and the policies which they advo-
cate.
There are two great party organiza-
tons in the United States, one fifty years
old, and the other more than century
old. The Republican party has been IN
power almost uninterruptedly for more
than half century and under its reign
abuses have grown up which threaten the
perpetuity Of the government aud endan-
ger our civilization. So great are these
abuses that Republican Sreformers are
now pointing out that something must be
done-and what can be done? The first
thing is to undo the things that nave
been done, and the party to undo these
abuses is not the party which has done
them, but the party which has protested
against these abuses and pointed out rem
sedjes. 4, a
The Republican party has turned me
taxing power over to private individuals
/: 1t has allowed monopolies to grow up
and assume control of the industries OF
the country by granting privileges by law
and by giving immunity to the large VIC
elators of the law the Republican party
has permitted the fortunes Of the preda-
tory rich to become so large that govern.
ment is corrupted, politics debauched and
business polluted. -
The Democratic party proposes to
withdraw the taxing power from private
hands, to SO legislate as to make q pri-
svate monopoly impossible, and to enforce
the law without discrimination. It pro.
poses to protect legitimate wealth and
punish those who attempt to plumber the
public for Hivate gain. On which side
do you stand, young MANI Are you with
the masses in their effort to restore the
government to its old foundation and
make it a government of the people, fol
the people and by the people, or are you
with the Republican leaders In their ef.

the country. all Of which are to be called
for him, and every one Of them is a con-
tribution to the conscience fund. ~
s Then the Tribune said Mr.. Carnegie
made his money in d magnificent way,
but he should never forget that he made
It through the undue favoritism of the
government Of the United States. Owing
to the discrimination practiced in his
favor by the tariff, he was enabled to
amass a fortune of $500, ,O00, 600 or more,
most Of which came out of the pockets Of
his countrymen through the operation of
unequal laws. Much has been said of
the benefit arising to the workingmen
from the establishment of the Carnegie
works. The benefcent tariff system per-
mitted the works to survive and flourish,
but there are some people who have not
forgotten the Homestead strike, nor the
outrageous manner in which the work.
ingmen were treated at the time by en-
ployers whose brutality has seldom been
exceeded in the history Of labor agita-
stions."
The Republican party has, in every
presidential campaign and congressional
campaign, been financed by the men to
whom they have granted what the Chi
cago Tribune calls undue favoritism."
Does any one imagine that the tariff
barons and trust magnates will withhold
contributions from the Republican cam
paign fund this year? Does any one be-
lieye that the Republican party will ever
revise the tariff in the interest Of the
consumers 90 long as it obtains it's cam
paign funds from the tariff barons?
Is anyone surprised that the Repub-
lican managers are afraid Of the light?

There are always two parties in the

Take the election of United States Sena-
tors by: the people as a test. The Demo
Gratis want to give to the voters a chance
to elect and to control their representa-

Democratic party in the House of Repre-
sentatives passed the first resolution for
the submission Of the necessary constitu-
tional amendment. They did this eight
years before any Republican Congress
did it. The Democratic party has thrice
demanded this reform in its national
platform. The Republican party has not;
done SO. Why do Democratic leaders
insist upon this reform and Republican:
leaders oppose 1t There can be but one
answer-the Democratic party is nearer
to the people than the Republican party.
Young man, will you stand with the peo-
-ple or against them?
The answer to this question affects,
yonr country. II you are with the peo-,
pie your influence, be 1t great or small,
will hasten their victory. II you are
against the people your influence may re-
stard that victory. But while in the first
instance it is your country that may gain
or lose by your action, you must remem-
Der that in the, long run your own posi-
i ton in politics will depend upon your
conduct. You can not fool the people al
ways. You may lead them astray if you
7 dare, but they will punish you when they.
find you out. You may work for the
people without their recognizing it ut
first, but you can trust them to discover
the character Of your work and to reward
you accordingly.
