rHH YOUNG REPUBLICAN.

In a business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class In
rendering a right decision. Their ac-
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are OF
the highest consequence to them. Per
haps they are farmers. If SO, let them
ask the older generation how farmers
Jared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the market
reports of to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr..
BRYAN made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve-
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan de-
nounced the Republican party for its
protectionist as well as sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter is to
engage in manufacturing or mining, rs
wage-earner or otherwise. Does ne
want his American rate Of wages and
the industry he chooses reasonably pro-
tected against foreign competition? Ii
he does Mr.. Bryan's leadership will
take him in the opposite direction

The Tide of Prosperity.

The tide of prosperity may ebb and
flow, but the great waves of industrial
wealth will continue to grow in vol
ume with ever-increasing comfort and
happiness to our contented people, who
will soon number 1OO,OO0,O00. And be-
cause of our intelligent and skillful
labor, made so because of good wages
and good living, we shall make better
fabrics and build stronger structures
that in spite of their higher cost in the
beginning will be cheaper in the end
and will be wanted by the people in
every corner of the earth. So that we
shall capture the markets Of the world
in greater volume without ever sacri-
ficing our home market, the foundation
of our national wealth and progresS.--

rAFr's SERVICE TO LABOR.
Destroyed the Old English Law As"
sumption that Union Labor As =
Conspiracy.

Destroyed the Old English Law As
sumption that Union Labor L. =
Conspiracy.
(From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The simple fact is that no man has
done more to place union labor on
sound, square, law-abiding, respected
footing than William H. Taft by his
decisions in labor cases. Both employ
ers and employed have acknowledged
the justice of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there is
not an intelligent worker or FAIR
minded employer who would seek TO
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty as to It's
rights which had before prevented and
gave it a standing which it has ever
since retained, and which has proved
under his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old assumption, derived
from England, that union labor is
conspiracy, and that workers could be
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their will, was
swept away forever by Judge Taft SO
far as the United States is concerned,
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle, Judge
Taft's decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and is labors' friend,
because he is absolutely just, and
would no more permit wrong to be
done to the poorest laborer in the land
than he would to any one else. And
the honest, law-abiding workers asks
and expects no more than this.

entailed by this movement. The partici-
patton in, and suppression Of the Boxer
rebellion, the expanding recognition OF
the supreme Importance to the future
Of American trade, of the open door, the
realization that, with the exception OF
Japan, no country is so well situated
as the United States, industrially and
geographically, to make the most and
the best Of the development of China.
These and other events have trans
formed American Indifference to the
fortunes Of the Far East into a real,
live, tingling and vigilant concern.
Logical Commercial Events.
1t did not need the Chinese boycott
OF American goods, or the outbreak OF
the trouble with Japan over the imml-
grafton question, to convince an impair
tial onlooker that Americas relations
with the powers Of the Far East would,
before long, be more immediate, or
greater moment and possibly OF greater
hazard than our relations with the
powers of Europe The American fleet
has foreshadowed the systematic asser-
ton of American power in the Pacific.
American interests in that ocean, COM
mercial, political and territorial, have
been neglected far too long
Father of the Philippines.
Mr.. Taft is in sense the father OF
the Philippines. 1t has been his kindly,
constructive statesman's hand that
evolved order out Of their original
chaos. In his report submitted to Con-
gress, as a result of his visit to the
Philippines to be present at the opening
of their first Assembly, he made four
recommendations. First-action by Con-
gress admitting to the United States
Philippine products under such condi-
lions that they would not interfere
with American tobacco and sugar in
dustries; second. the removal OF re-
strictions as to acquiring mining claims
and lands; third, further legislation
authorizing the government to carry
on an agricultural bank, which Is now
authorized only as private enterprise;
fourth, the repeal Of the law applying
to the Islands the coastwise laws OF
the United States.
Philosophy OF Development.
Our nation has grown by obeying the
instinct OF development. We are to-day
entitled to be called Greater America,
but that greatness will be lost If we
forget the political philosophy which
has made us great-expansion OF Amer
lean thought, territory, mechanical skill,
civilization and philosophy. This is an
auspicious time for the creation and de-
yelopment Of our export trade. The I'M
explored and undeveloped markets OF
Asia furnish the opportunity. All other
fields have been occupied, and to at
tempt to wrest them from other nations
would be of doubtful expediency. In
the Orient the commercial possibilities
exceed the dreams Of the optimist
Are the American people ready to
abandon such q situation and leave II
to the mercy Of the Democratic party
with its failure Of nfty years looking
at IN from the past?

During recent Republican administra-
lions we have built up an export trade
with the Far East OF something like
$50 1000. 900 per year. We have landed
an army on Chinese territory, and have
been drawn wIlly-niIly into the vortex
Of the Far Eastern question. During
the period policies have been formulated
which have compelled us to take hand
IN momsntous negotiations. We have
definitely enrolled the Far East among
the objects or our commercial and diplo-
matte solicitude. Things have changed
much during this ten years OF Republi-
can rule.
