I do not fancy the idea of thrusting
my opinions upon others. believing in
every man thinking for himself. but in
this instance will let loose of Il little
bottled up enthusiasm. My reply to this
question, given hurriedlN. and as the
Importance OF the continuation of the
republican party in power impresses
itself upon me, leads me to one con-
clusion:
When YOU know YOU have good
thing stick to it. In all my experience l
have never known {; time of more pros
porous or satisfactory conditions of
business, or q more satisfactory condi-
ton of wages for the wage Garner, or
better prices for our farm products,
than that. of the present and during
the present administration. Then why
clalnor for a charge under these Cir
cumstances? To my mind there seems
to be q spirit OF restlessness and dis
content existing among the wage earn
ers that no real satisfactory explain
alton can be given for. When those
of us who We're affected by the de-
pressed condition of the labor market a
few wears ago. when our railroad shops

ing hours and wages, and comparing
the conditions then with those now eX-
listing when it is almost impossible to
supply the demand for Worlmen, and
wages are higher than ever before, one
will wonder what all this discomfort is
about. Why q man like Bryan, a theor
ist. a man without practical expert
ence, a magician and Il fallacy gatherer
generally, but withal a smooth, easy
talker capable of understanding what
his audience wants. and dealing it out
in a convincing manner to its hearts
content, but only a theorist please re-
been to seek the presidential chair since
he first became a presidential candi
date, with q persistence unequalled by
any aspirant for polibcal hcnors ever
heard Of should receive the support
OF an intelligent. reasoning people, is
a wonder to me.
j would not view with alarm a
change of administration at this time.
had Mn Bryan anything to offer for
the good of the country better than
we now have or expect to have under
Il continuance of republican admin
STATION. He is a glib speech maker,
which is usually a vote catcher for
some unreasoning people. His silver
idea theory was a mistake and so
proven to be, his bank deposit guar
anty proposition in my opinion is
equally fallacious. There is no doubt
in my mind that while there, are a few
very catchy suggestions for the adop-
ton of such policy, there are fifty
reasons why it would be a failure and
disastrous to the farmer industrial in
terests and the business interests gen
orally of the country. But, if this spirit
if discomfort which exists without app
parent reason is to continue. | can
see no cure for it but to let the dis
contented take the medicine they pour
out for themselves and suffer the con-
sequences.
There is nothing succeeds like suc-
cess and no happiness where there is
discomfort. The llappiest of men are
the eontented ones. In my opinion
there will be no new enterprises
