As he put the mat te:. tlie Democracy stands for it "rea s ". lile reduction" of tariff duties, and he was careful to state that tills reduc tion should take effect after "a reuson ;!i.:• period," during which the Indus tr.es of the country might have an op portunity to make preparation for the c 1 Furthermore, lie declared (hut the Democratic party could not hope to secure control of the senate, and therefore any tariff reduction that coukl he made would he only such as tlie -enate would consent to. Obviously this was intended to be it-assuring, but Intelligent citizens will remember that it Is to the party plat form rather than to the candidate's remarks they must goto discover the iv:! 1 .. ttitude of the Democracy toward the protective tsirilT. And in that plat ter;:! there is no declaration for a "rea > le reduction of duties." There were in the platform prepared by the subcommittee on resolutions some (p! lif.vlng phrases and a promise to hear in mind existing business condi tion:-:. but they were stricken out by the lull committee, and the plaids that wsss linallv adopted by the convention (ici-1; red the protective tariff to be an ii ; 'inent through which the masses of the people were robbed for tlie en rii i r.ent of the few. i'his statement is among those which j;: • ■ Parker characterized sis "ad sr.:.-; !e," and it expresses the real pur- | I >f the Democracy concerning the tiii'., v . There is nothing "reasonable" in those purposes.

WOHDS T0 YOUNG MEN WHAT LINCOLN SAID IN 1848 AND GARFIELD IN 1879. loluoix'ttl Counsel Co Thoite Win* For tlit- I'lrxt Time Are Vboul to I'lteli Tlieir Tenia I" One or Die Other of tlie Politic:;! Camps. from out the musty tiles of old polit ical literature two splendid gem- of thought have been dug \ii». Both oi theni relate to the |>. rt which young men can hear and on. hi i > hear in the activities which make lor their coun try's good. Both are as interesting now, as vital, as they \\;ere lifty-six and twenty-Ave years ago respectively. Both appeal to the young men of today to bear their part, to do their duty rightly. First, a quaint, forgotten tliiiig from the pen of Abraham Lincoln, full of the unstudied simplicity of that monumental man. Here it is: I.ineoln'H Appeal to \ouiik Men. [From a letter to William It. Herndon, Washington, June IS4S.] As to young men. You must not wait to be brought forward by the older men, For instance, do you suppose that 1 should ever have got into notice if 1 had waited to be hunted up and pushed for ward by older men? You young men get together and form a "Rough and Ready club"and have regular meetings ami speeches. Take In everybody you run get. Harrison Grimsley, L. A. linos, Lee Kim ball and C. VV. Matheny will do to begin the thing, but us you go along gather up all the shrewd, wild boys about town, whether just of ug>- or a little under age- Chris Logan, Roddick Ridgely, Lewis Zwizler and hundreds sueh. Let every one play the part he can play best, some speak, some sing and all "holler." A our meetings will be of evenings; the older men and the women will goto hear you; so that it will not only contribute to thu election of "Old Zach," but will be an in teresting pastime and lmprovim: t > the intellectual faculties of all cngapS-d. Don't fail to do this. ABRAHAAI LINCOLN. Next, the magnificent eloquence of Garfield, anions the greatest of the great orators of all time, also appeal ing to young men. Its keynote is, "When you pitch your tent, pitch it among the living and not among the dead!" To the million and a half of young men who will this year for the first time choose the political cfunp iu which their tents are to be pitched the words of i Jarlield must come with tremendous force: Unrlicld'ii Appeal to Young Men. llOxtract l'rom the speech ol lion James A. Gurtield, delivered at Cleveland. 0., Oct. 11. 18il). j Now, fellow citizens, a word before I leave you on the vi ry eve of the holy day of God—a til moment to consecrate our selves tinally to the great work of next Tuesday morning. 1 see in this great audience tonight a great many young in.ii, young men wao are about to cast their lirst vote. 1 want to give you a word of suggestion ami advice, t heard a very brilliant thing said by a boy the other day up In one of our northwestern comities. He said to me, "General, I have a great mind to vote the Democratic ticket." That was not the brilliant thing 1 said to him, "Why?" "Why." said lie. "my fath r is a Republican, and my brothcrs are Republicans, ami 1 am a Re publican all over, but 1 want to be an independent man, and 1 don't want any body to ;-.iy, 'That lellow votes the Re publican ticket jutt because his dad does,' and 1 have naif a mind to vote ttie I vmo cratic tick> i Just lo prove my iiul : .cad ence." i din like the tiling the boy suggested, bill I did admire the spirit of the boy that wanted to have some inde pendence of his own. Now, 1 tell you, young man, don't vote the Republican ticket just because your father votes ii. Dou't vole the Democrat ic ticket, even if he does vot ■ it. lin: let me give you this one word of advice as you are about to pitch jour tent iu one of the great political c.naps. \ our life is full and buoyant with h , now. :,nd 112 l eg you, when you pitch > air tent pilch il among the livin , and .. ■' among the (R-ul. ii you arc at all in. iiucd to pitch it among the Democratic pc | lc and wilh that party let me go uiui you for a mo ment while v.c surrey tl • ground where I hope jou will not shortly li< It is a sad place, young man.for you to put '.our young life into. 11 is to ir>- far more like a" graveyard than lii.e a camp lor the living. Look a tit! It is biiio«..ed all over v illi the graved of dead i- •.«», of buried opinions, of . .vplodc.l tiieoi ies, ol dis- K cae«d doctrines. You cannot live in comfort in such a plai e. Why, look here! Here is a little double iroiind. 1 look down ou it.and I read. "Sacred to tiie memory of squatter sovereignty and tiio Dred Scott decision." A million and a hr.lf Democrats voted for that, hut it has been (lead lUtecn years—dk.i by the hind of Abraham Lincoln, and here it lies. Young man. that is not the place for you. liut look a little farther. Hero is an other monument, a black tomb, and be side it, a: oar distinguished friend id. there tow rs to th« sky a monument of 4.00U.0U0 pairs of human fetters taken from tin ai.us of slaves, and 1 read ou its little headstone this: "Sa red to the mem ory of human :»,crv." I'or forty years of Its Infamous life the Democrat!' party taught that It was divine -dud's institu tion. They defended it. they stood around it. they followed it to Its grave a mourner. Hut here it 1 cs, dead by the hand of Abraham Lincoln, dead by the power of the Republic la party, i ■ id by the jus tice of Almighty God. Don't camp there, young man. But here is another, n little brimstone tomb, nnd 1 rc d across its yellow face in lurid, bloody lines these words: "Sacred to the memory of state sovereignty and secession." Twelve millions of 1 > .. eta's mustered around it in arms to keep it alive, but here tt lies, shot to death by the million guns of the republic Here it lies. Its shrine burned to ashes tinder the blazing rafters of the burning Confed eracy. It is dead. I would not have you stay in there a mia. ; • •>. ' • *•>' night air. to I.H-1; at uch a lace.
