o one can read Judge Parker's re
us:."Ua concerning the tariff without
reaching the conclusion that he be
lieves it necessary to attempt to reas
!' re the public mind :ts to the proba
-1.. consequences of a revision made
■ the Democrats. 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. The Democracy
i >w. as it always has been, bitterly
I to the protective system and
iiaen 's to destroy it whei:. . or the op
i ■ illty to do so is afforded. Its
pi t demand l'or revision is not sin

Dave Hill's declaration that he will
accept no ollice in the event of Demo
cratic success was undoubtedly calcu
lated to relieve Judge Parker of a
tre: endous handicap, as the Fsige of
Wo'.fert's Boost was generally be- j
lie.id to be slated for secretary of i
stale. However, llill's renunciation of i
his political ambition docs not dispose |
of heehan, who is not only closer to i

WOHDS T0 YOUNG MEN
WHAT LINCOLN SAID IN 1848 AND
GARFIELD IN 1879.

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
