MONEY In The BANK.
How The Tables Have Turned for The
Farmer.

A few years ago when money to
the farmer was the scarcest article
that was known to his needs, and he
had none to put away for rainy
pday, it was occasionally a joy to him
to go to the bank with a check and
draw from the institution Of other
peoples savings. 1t was one of the
tongings of some of them to be able
to write check on the local bank
for the small obligations, but was de-
MED because he had no money to
check against. Tables have turned,
however, and it would be surprising
to the average.citlzen to know of the
great volume of business now trans
acted by the farmers through the
means Of banks. Nearly every far
mer who has been able to save, ard
they are few who have not, when
they pay for their paper and little
articles sent out by mail to them
send a check with the order. To de-
posit money in the bank is wise. 1t
not only prevents robbery, but it is
A saving institution that beats every
thing else, unless it be the building
and loan association. and it is very
gratifying to see this protection TAX

A CURIOUS WILL.
1t Forces a Happy Family Under Very
PeeildY 6e1iiiitRs.

An extraordinary will has beel
left by an elderly unmarried lad,
who died in Vienna. Her propert,
amounting to apout $4,000 pound
is appointed to be divided betwee,
her three nephews, now aged "a, q
and 20, and her three nieces, 16. q
and %, in equal parts on the follow
ing conditions:
The six nephews and nieces must
all live in the same house formerly
inhabited by their aunt, with the
executor, lawyer, whose business
it will be to see the conditions of the
will are strictly observed. None OF
the nephews are to marry before
reaching his fortieth year or the
nieces before their thirtieth, under
the penalty that the share of the one
so marrying will be divided among
the others.
Futher, the six legatees are ad-
monished never to quarrel among
themselves. If one should do so per-
slstently the executor is empowered
to turn him or her out of the house
and divide the share as in the case
If marriage.
The executor is himself forbidden
to marry or to reside elsewhere
than in the house with the legatees
as long as he holds his office, to which
a handsome remuneration isattached.
The old maid is said to have made
this peculiar will because her neph-
eWs and nieces continually worried
her during her life by asking her to
give them money to enable them to
marry, requests she always refused.

Sounds Well, But Means Nothing.

The local self government plank in
the Republican platform looks more
like lath. 1t seems as if an effort
was made to conceal it, as it was
tackled on to the end of a miscellane-
Gus paragraph. 1t reads: I'VE re-
affirm our allegiance to the time
honored principle of local self-gov-
ernment and we do denounce the
successive betrayal Of that principle
by our opponents, who long vaunted
themselves it's champions. "Reaf-
firm" is good. How could they re
affirm" plank that was dropped
out four years ago and was left out
two years ago? The man who work
ed in that plank was somewhat OF
humorist. Charlotte Chr onicle.

The way THEY SEE IT.
The High Protective Tariff as Viewed
By its Friends.

Suppose the directors of the Union
Pacific Railroad should say to Con-
gress: When this road was being
built the Government aided it to the
extent Of forty million dollars; the
road has long been built, is very rich
and profitable, paving ten per cent
dividends on its common stock; there
fore we demand that the Government
now grant it another subsidy of a
hundred million dollars"
Or suppose. when the Elkins Law
was under consider ton, the direct
ors had said: "For a great many
years the railroads have systemati-
cally granted rebates to big shippers,
thereby expressing small shippers
and building up monopolies like the
Standard Oil Company. During
these years the country's wealth has
increased enormously. This increase
in wealth is due to rebate system.
If you stop rebatin;s you will destroy
the prosperity
Such are the arguments for high
protection which all apologist for
that system gravely advances on an
other page Of this issue of The Sat-
urday Evening Post.
The founders of he Government
were protectionists. That is, when
the nation was young, small and
poor, almost wholly engaged in ag-
riculture, with very little manu-
featuring, Hamilton advocated a
protective tariff. Il duty of about
seventeen per cent was the measure
of protection which he deemed neces-
sary to encourage the upbuilding of
infant industries. Now that these
industries have grown huge and rich
beyond all precedent we must give
them still more protection or we
shall be flying in the faces of the
Fathers!
True, the nation has had high
protection system, and its wealth
has increased amazingly. This
wealth came from the development
of it's rich natural resources. What
schoolboy will believe that the wealth
is due to system which made all the
implements used in .,aa. development
cost more than they are worth?
We meet again the hoary and de-
funct argument that the foreigner
pays the tax. But we shall not med
die with it. That would be too
much like digging up graveyard.
Also, the argument that high pro-
lection lowers prices. Of course,
the favored trusts insist upon high
tariff because they know it will low
er the prices of their products,
thereby enabling them to pay their
workmen high wages!
The Government decided many
million acres of raw public land to
home-steaders who settled upon and
cultivated it. And it has licensed
to overcharge the
homesteader for his lumber, tools
and clothing. Toput these two gov
ernmental acts in the same category
is strictly typical Of the protectionist
mind.
Our apologist quotes some Script
ure. The case might be rested up
on one familiar quotation from the
same admirable source-to wit:

YOUNG MEMS DAY.
State Chairman ElleP Has October 29th
as Their Day.

oLaIe democratic Chairman Ellie
has appointed October 29th as Youn,
Mems Day. On that day all of tn
Democratic speakers over the Stat
will give special attention to youn,
men. In response to ex-Gov. Jarvis
recent letter asking that the youn.
men throughout the State have writ
ten letters of appreciation. Thes,
expressions have been so full of yea
and patriotism that Chairman Ellie
has decided to make Young Men,
Day. Statewide event. In ever,
county in the State some young mar
of high character and useful purpose
is being appointed to lead the young
voters in their work for the State
and for the Democratic party, whose
mission it is to serve the State. Hun
dreds of young men will cast tkeil
first vote this year. The object OF
the movement is to so fix the minds
Of these upon the duties of citizen
ship that they will become citizens
always ready to study public dues
tions and to vote intelligently for
their country's welfare. Young men
have been standard bearers in the
Democratic party from the day of
Jefferson down to Bryan.
The fathers Of this country pour
ed out their blood and treasure to
free the new land from the tyranny
Of monarchy and aristocracy. They
succeeded, but to-day new and
deadlier form Of tyranny is fastening
It's fangs upon our country, and
threatens to turn a government ded :
icated to liberty and human rights
into a land Of oppression with all
power-concentrated into the hands
of a few men. Taking their cue
from Alexander Hamilton, who be-
lieved tfat the people were not fit to
rule themselves, Republican leaders
are to-day virtually denying the
fundamental truths of equality up
on which this government was found
ed. Under their rule, a few men
are aquiring all power and the mas
ses are being reduced to a condition
that abolishes the equality of oppor-
tucn:tty Unless the present move
ment is checked, the upward road
that has always been open to our
young men will be blocked, both in
business and politics. The natural
place for young men is in the Demo-
cratic party, whose purpose is to
keep the road to opportunity open.
The Republican party, standing for
trusts, monopolies and narrowing
opportunity, is not the natural home
of the vigorous. manly young men
who ask only free hand and a fair
chance. Turn the country over to
the unchecked wishes Of the Repub-
ican party, and the average bung
man can only hope to be a clerk in
the ranks of the monopolies, and if
he be an exceptionally able man, he
may hope to rise to be head clerk.
But that is all. Corporate organlza-
ton and wealth are c!utching into
their deadly grip the opportunities
of a once free land. If the men OF
TODAY would bequeath heritage Of
freedom and Of opportunity to their
sons, they must fight now. The Dem
ocratic party stands for the open
road. 1t believes that the people
can and should govern themselves.
1t believes that America needs only
a fair chance, and for that it will
die in the last ditch. 1t is the stand
ard for the young men to enlist un-
der, and it depends upon them to
take their places and do their duty,
