Then how can there be but one “answer to the question, “should a young man enter politics,” which is, when properly interpreted, should a young mans aid to pre- serve a government which has been con- sidered worth establishing and maintaining . at such fearful cost, Net anly should a young man enter politics, but it should be his atm to elevate and purify. It is af com- paratively little importance whether the’ Democratic or Republican party control the State or Nation for a single term, but it is important beyond computation that the in- dividual for any position is declared elected who has received a majority or plurality of ' the votes cast. [tis of vast importance that every person entitled to vote shall. be per- aitted to do so subject to no terrorizing or immptoper influence from any one. Ii these rights are over-ridden and trampled upon it is underraining the foundation principles upon which this govetnment is founded, It is said that not one business man in ten in the large cities ike New York, Philadelphia and (Chicago attend caucuses, or even yete, The reasons given are that they have not time to attend to such things, and that if they do they are jostled and outnumbered by the rough element, Yet if. these men were told they were too indolent or ten” cowardly . to defend their homes -against thieves, their families from insult, they would instantly resent it, and still i in their right io vote is their voice made heard. in the’ character of the government. these same business men to neglect their insurance, allow persons without moral character or proper qualifications to perform the duties devolving upon them, to occupy positions of trust and responsibility, they could net expect to gueceed in’ business, Suppose that after becoming convinced thet employds in responsible position g should plunder = their employers yea r after: year, what would be thought ' of “aman who after he had known that his. servant was Whelly untrustworthy should | rl | such a man needed a guardian, | Were 7 | selves and should teach others to do what . people. . people j im, every walk of life and as near as pay all legitimate : ‘occupations should | be : Tépresented, hot only 2 as a matter af equity, . bint because in adds: ty the aggregate } wisdom. as his time expired make new engage- ments and put him into stil more responsi- ble positions: Je would be thought that Yet, this is no more absurd than is now practiced in many of our large cities. aim is £0 get maney, are elected year after year to position and if try chance he is de- feated another takes his Men, whose only one no better place and the plundering of the people and the debauching of the mest sacred right of - man, the elective franchise, goes on. itis the sacred right because it is the one I say means by which all other rights may he maintained and preserved. Unless there is an awakening on this subject soon, there are men now living who will see the beginning of the end of this government. Fortunately there will bean awakening and we see evi- dences Of it everywhere. | Our schools, from the log cabin used aS a school- house, ! in the néwer sections of our country, to its colleges arid great universities should teach that it is fast as much the pa- triotic duty of every. citizen to attend the caucus and convertion of his parity as it is to defend itif called upon in case of foreign invasion; and that he has no more nght te shrink on it because. there are corrupt | practices, than to keep out of the army in case of invasion because there is physical danger.

Last but not least of the great causes, 15 that the farmer does not heed the adage “the farmer is of more consequence than the farm and. needs first te be improved,” He gives too much attention to cultivation of muscle and not enough . to intelleci. We are glad to say, however, that a large portion of our farmers.are now awake to.this fact, yet there is still toc-large a partion-who are averse te experiment stations, agricultural colleges and industrial schools, Fichte well said “if Germany was ever tobe free and strong if would be by becoming the chief educational State in “ Europe; and realize that the education ‘of its youth was the highest care of the. nation.” As carefully as a man would -tili his soil to kill the weeds and brambles, so careftl ought he to be in the cultivation of -his intellect and p those about him.
