No weight OF age bears him down.
That barefoot boy with fingers brown;
There's nothing empty In his face,
No burden OF the human race
Is on his back nor is he dead.
To JOY or sorrow, hope or dread:
For he can grlcve and he can hope.
Can shrink with all his soul from-soap
No brother TO the OK is he
He's second cousin 10 the bee.
He looscns and lets down his jaw
And brings II up, his gum to "chaw."
There's nauIht but sweat upon his brow,
'Tis slanted somewhat forward now,
His eyes are bright with eager light.
He's working with an appetite.
Al. no. That hoy Is not afraid
To WELD with all his might the spade!
Nor has he any spite Mt fate
He's digging anglcwOrms for bait.
No precautions disturb his plans any
more than his toilet. His very impris.
onment In his own impromptu pro.
gram Is a proyidential form OF protec.
tion. The future has NO chance to ne.
gotiate to him larye loans of trouble
not yet. Uncrushed by the tragedy,
untrcuhled by the riddle and unterIl
fed by the greatness of life, he ap,
breaches 1t hlandy and blindly, more
ready because OF those facts.

REAL TARIFF REFORM.
The Entire American People Now
Want to Be Shown"

Mr. Bryan asks: How will Mr.
Taft explain to the average man the
benefits OF protection" and adds "Ile
can easily convince a trust that II
profits by the tariff but what about
the victim Of the trust?"
On this entire tariff question the
great American nation Is now all
from Missouri, and must be shown"
High tariffs were placed by the Re
pubicans upon large number OF
manufactured articles with two de-
clarcd objects first. to protect the
American manufacturer. that is to
say. to keep him from being undersold
In the domestic markets by foreign
manufacturers who use cheap labor
or slave labor; second, to deprive
the American manufacturer Of tho
slightest shadow of an excuse for
using cheap labor or slave labor and
to put him in a position TO employ
steadily high.class American work
mon, and pay them wages which would
enable them TO live in comfort, feed
and clothc their families, and send
their children to school.
Profit sharing, not profit hogSing.
was the first fundamental idea of high
tarin, and It was because the people
OF this country were assured solemnly
they would share IN the profits that
they voted into power the party Of
the high tariff, or as the Republicans

effect before they were found out, the

not regulated by actual conditions OF
supply and demand. but by the undis-

same time they began TO regulate

profits still more with the result that

II was the tendency OF the wage TO

ordinary circumstances would never
have thought OF Joining any kind Of
society or lodge, formed or joined
labor organizations, in order TO secure
for themselves and their families that

their course of conduct they were

The whole aim of the Democratic
party is to protect the American homo
and the American school by securing
