rents or other adult caretakers imniess titey
bavo a written permit to do as signed by
Ilarent or guardian. Violation of this law is
punishabie by lmpricontllellt. Time object Is ,
of course , to putt an effectual restraint upomi
the evil propensities of boys and girls who
show a tendency in the wrong dIrection ,
There are , unfortunately , too many auclu
in all cities , amid the rural regions furnish
their foil quota of youthful depravity. In
fact , city-bred children are quite as ilkely
to grov up to be good men and women as the
children of time farming sections. The city
furimludies far batter educational advantages

ItIASSACIIUSIITTS-Tiio time bus gone by
wliemi the republican party can afford to make
a dubious declaration omm ( ho sliver question.
It lies boon shown by ( lie senators from
Montamia and Idaho and Colorado , not once ,
but many tlntes , that they ar.m reptmbiicans in
lieiilt , merely for time purpose of provemiting
republicans legislating in favor of sound
tnomuey. They Immive i'hiown , by joining the
democracy in opposing thm 1)ingley bill. that
they cannot b depemided upon to 'support
evemi a revenimo measure that time party deenis
of imiitnetiiate and imperative necessity. Not
even motives of policy justify further tenipor-
izlng _ with men lute these.
'o ( in hot believe in the free coinage of
silver at time ratio of Id to 1. We do not
behievo that the United States alone and unaided -
aided shmoumld bear the silver burden of the
world , We do not lmelles'o that debts contracted -
tracted in gold should bo paId 1mm silver.
As long as the other great nations of time
world refuse to enter into a bimetallic agreement -
mont , there can be , from any Point' of view ,
but one basis for the currency of the United
States , and that baSIs is gold.
IOWA-lie ( Allison ) has been favorable tea
a true hiinmetalilsin , and ito has at nil times
labored to nmnintain on abundant currency of
gold , sliver and paper , matte interconvertibie
and equal to the bcst currency of thmo Coin-
mercial world. He has demanded for time
bumsiness ot time nation a currency equitable
and stable , free from time oscillations so daim-
geromla to business interests and unjust to
the vago carners of time natIon , s'hioao thousands -
sands of niliiomis of annual vages and many
thousand mtlliomis of credit in savings banks
and other formus constitute the great creditor
class of the nation ,
SOUTH DAKOTA-Whereas , There is a
diversity of opinIon among the republicans of
tIle state upon tile financial question ; atlul ,
whereas , we have perfect confidence iii the
wisdom and patriotism of time rcptmbiican
party timac shall assemble in St. Louis next
June flint it will consider amid adopt a piat-
form , broad and strong enough for every re-
pubiIcan to stand upon : therefore , we reaffirm -
firm our devotion and loyalty to time platform
adopted at Minneapolis in 1892 and adopt it
as our piatform until the national convention
shiall give us another.
ARKANSAS-Wa favor true bimotalliam
with such restrictiona and under such provisions -
sions , to be determined by legislation , as will
secure time maintenance of time parity of values
of the two metals , so that time purchasIng
and debt-paying power of the dollar , whether
of silver , gold or paper , shall be at all times
equal. '
TEXAS-We reaffirm the historic adherence -
once of tile republican party to sound flumanco.
We demand an honest dollar of greatest purchasing -
chasing iouver for every clan's alike ; the mang-
eat issue of gold , silver and paper pos.iblo
with security and tIme requirements of trade ,
mmli of equal value , interchangeable one for
time otimer , every dollar resting on goli as
money of final redemption. The repmmbticans
of Texas declare thmla to be , in theIr tklib-
crate judgment , time only basis for a large
and iiberal circuiatien of money amid for the
inaintenanco of univereal confIdence.
WISCONSTN-Tho republicans ot Wlrcon-
Sin are unyielding in timeir demand for honest
nioney , Wo are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that will give to this cauntry a depredated -
predated or debased currency. We favor
the use of silver as currency , but to time cx-
tent only and under rnmch restrictions that
its parity with goldmaybe maintained.
NEW IIAMPSHIJtE-Wo demand the enactment -
actment of currency laws that will provide
a cIrculatIng medium in gold , siivr and
paper which will always be interchangeable
mit Its face valumo because each and every dol-
br of it is of the ranme purchasing power
its a gold dollar.
UTAH-We ask our delegates to St. Louis
to do their utmost to secure in the national
repubhicami platform a full acknowledgment
of the imperative need of a return to real
himetalliem , and a pronitnn of its swift odop-
tiou without regard to other nations by opum.
