BRYAN'S PAPER THE FIRST VOTER. Young umu, grunt rcHponslblllty at taches to your first voto. As you bo gin, so you aro llkoly to contltuio. Tho momentum that carrion you Into a party at tho beginning of your politi cal Hfo -la nnl to keen you tu that party unless some convulsion shakes you out of It. Start right, and m order that you muy start right, oxnnt Ino tho ptluclplcs of tho purlieu and tho policies which they ndvocato. Thoro aro two groat 'party organiza tions in thu United Stntes, ono GO years old, nnd tho other moro than a contury old. Tho Ropubllcnn party has boon In power almost uninterrupt edly for moro than half a century, and under Kb reign abuses have grown up which threaten tho porpolulty of tho govornment nnd endnngor our civil ization. So great aro these abuses that Ropubllcnn reformers mo now pointing out tlint something must bo done nnd what can bo done? Tho first thing Is to undo the things that havo been done, and tho narly to undo theso abuses is not tltojmtly which has done them, but the party which has protested against these nbusos and pointed out fomedlos. Tho Republican parly has turned tho taxing power over to prlvnto Indi viduals; It has allowed monopolies to grow up nnd nssumo control of the industries of tho country by giantlug privileges by law and by giving Immu nity to tho largo violators of tho law; tho Republican party has permitted tho fortunes of the piedatory rich to become so largo that government Is corrupted, politics debauched and business polluted. Tho Democratic party proposes to withdraw tho taxing powor from pri vate hands, to so legislate as to make a prlvnto monopoly Impossible, and to enforce tho law without discrimina tion. It proposes to protect legitimate wealth and punish thoso who attempt to plunder tho public for private gain. On which sldo do you stand, young man? Aro you with tho masses in their effort to rcstoro tho government to Us old foundation and make It a government of thcpcoplo, for tho peo plo nnd by tho people, or aro you with thu Republican leaders In their ef fort to perpetuate tho party In power by selling Immunity In return for campaign contributions? Thoro aro always two parties In the country, and ono Is necessarily nearer to the pcoplo than tho other. In this country the Democratic party Is near er to tho peoplojhan tho Republican party. Its leaders havo moio faith In tho people and uro moro anxious tc keep tho government under tho con trol of tho people. Tako tho election of United StateB senators by tho pco plo ns a test. Tho Democrats want to give to tho voters a chance to elect and to control their representatives In tho United States .senate. The Dem ocratic party in tho house of repre sentatives passed tho first resolution for the submission of tho necessary constitutional amendment. They did this eight years heforo any Ropub Ucan congress did It Tho Democratic party has thrlco demanded this ro form in Its national platform. The Republican party has not done so Why do Democratic leaders Insist upon this reform and Republican lead ers oppose It? Thoro can bo but one answer tho Democratic party Is near er to the pcoplo than the Republican party. Young man, will you stand with tho pcoplo or against them? The unswer to this question affects your country. If you aro with the people your Influenco, bo it great or small, will hasten their victory. If you aro against tho poople, your in fluenco may retard that victory. Out while in tho first Instanco it 1b your country that may gain or lose by your action, you must romerabor that in tho lung run your own position In politics will depend upon your con duct You cannot fool tho people al ways. You may lead them astray if you dnro, but they will punish you when they find you out. You may work for tho people without their rec ognizing It at first, but you can trust them to discover the charactor of youi work and to reward you accordingly. AFRAID OF THE LIGHT. Anticipating the publication by tho DomocratB of their campaign fund, Re publican managers havo sought to re cover somo lost ground. They print tho names of twe contributors, An drow Carnegie and Mrs. Russell Sage, and thoy announce that thoy will mako other contributions public after tho election, An Associated Press dispatch tells tho story In this way: "Now York, Oct 9. Tho fact that Androw Carneglo has contributed f 20, 000 to tho campaign fund of tho Re publican cause was announced to-day by State" Chairman Woodruff. Mr. Woodruff also announced that Mrs. WWWIWWMMVMWMV Erudite Librarian. At the public library a citizen ot cul ture and poetic tasto askod for Shel ley's "Prometheus Unbound." Ho was rather taken aback whoh tho librarian replied with great hauteur: "We don't keep any unbound books In this library." Accidental Deaths In City. There Is an averago ot nearly two porsons killed each day in New York city by falling from windows, down etups, into oxcavatlons or In somo Eucb manner Ilussell Bngti contributed $1,000 to tho Ramo fund. Thoro havo been no other largo contributions from indi viduals, air. Woodtuft said, but email sums tiro coining In from various sources. Ucorgo It. Sheldon, treas urer of tlio lintlotint committee, when naked nbout tho contributions, do cllncil to discuss them, suylng that bo would publish a list or nil tho con tributions mntlo to thu Republican committee nftor election." If tho Republican managers aro willing to make Cnruegln's contribu tion public, why not give the names of other heavy contributors? Tho expla nation Is that Mr. Cnrncglo has given tiwuy so nmny llbinrtvs out of tho money which hu bus obtained thiough b'u,,aue fnoiltlRin" nt the hands of tho govornment that tho Republican man agers tely upon his "popularity" among tho pcoplo to prevent tho fact of his contribution doing Injury. Hut let it be remembered that An drew Catncglo has good reason to contilbuto to Republican campaign, and wo need go no further than to a Ropubllcnn newspaper for proof. Several years ago It was re ported that Androw Carneglo hnd of forcd to pay $20,000,000 for tho Phil ippine Islnuds, provided ho wus per mitted to nusuro tho Filipinos tbnt thoy would bo given their Independ ence. Commenting upon this story, tho Chicago Trlbuno tmld that thu steel mngnnto "hns tried tho untlenco of his friends sovorcly In somo ot his late bids for notoriety." 'It ex pressed tho opinion-that Mr. Carneglo is constantly posing, and said "ho scattered ltbrailes throughout tho country, all of which are to ho called for hint, and every ono of them Is 'ti contribution to tho conscience fund.' " Then the Trlbuno snld: "Mr. Car negie mudo his money In a magnifi cent way, but he should nover forgot that ho mado It through tho undue fa voritism of the government of tho United Stntes. Owing to tho discrim ination practiced In his favor by tho tariff, ho was enabled to nntnss a for tuno of $200,000,000, or moro, most of which canto out of the pockets of his countrymen through tho operation ot unequal laws. Much has been snld of tho benefit mining to workltigmcn from the establishment of the Car neglo works. Tho beneficent tariff system permitted tho works to survlvo and flourish, but thero aro somo peo ple who havo not forgotten tho Home stead strike, nor tho outrageous man ner in which tho worklngmcn wero treated at tho time by the employors whoso brutality has seldom been ex ceeded In tho history of labor agita tions." The Ropubllcnn party has, In every presidential campaign, nnd congres sional campaign, been financed by tho men to whom they have granted what tho Chicago Trlbuno calls "undue fa voritism." Does nny ono Imagine that the tariff barons and trust magnates will withhold contribu tions from the Republican campaign fund this year? Docs any ono bo llovo that tho Republican parly will over revise tho tariff In tho interest of tho consumers so long as it obtains Its campaign funds from tho tariff barons? Is anyone surprised that tho Repub lican managers nro afraid of tho light? It seems that tho cabinet offlcora aro not given much opportunity to mako campaign speeches. Thoy must bo on hand for consultation beforo the president can lsstto campaign letters. "THE-ADVANCE AGENT OF PROS. PERITV."

'Accord ing to their logic,' ho said, 'it is n Re publican panic and I am the advanco agent of prosperity. My election can bo demanded as tho only euro for tho hard times from which the pcoplo are suffering.' Ho quoted somo recent statistics showing tho number of busi ness failures during the past few years, nnd declared that the numbor of such failures In tho nine months of tho prosent year was greater than tho failures for tho samo period in 1803. 'It 1b less than a week,' ho Bald, 'that tho Republican papers of Chicago wero tolling that 15,000 children were going to school hungry every morning, nnd that, my friends, Is not a past condi tion.
