MCTTKIl FROM FATHER.
My Dear Boy In your last letter you
say that old man Skinner, your em
ployer, say that lie "doesn't see what
a farmer can bo thinking of to vote for
McKlnley when the trusts are squeezing
the life out of . the farmer and the
country I drifting right into imperialism
every uay."
You want to know now to answer
him. Well. I will tell you what to ay
to him and then I have a few words to
say to you.
Ask Mr. Skinner ' if he remember
that in 1810 he sold that sorrel niare
that used to work with old Jim for $46,
AKK him whether the sorrel wasn't a
better horse than that bay that he sold
to Crawford the other day for 80. Re
mind him that he sold his wool in 18U6
for 14 cent, and that he sold this year
at 21 cents ana Kicxeu line a steer be
cause be didn't get 30.
Gently suggest that he sold a couple
oi steers in 1HIKS ior fii.zo per hundred,
and that they were a good a those
splendid follows that he aold lost week
for 15.10.
The old man runs a huckster wagon
Into Ni'lsouville, and sells produce to
the miner wive.
Ask him if he remember that fonr
years ago a woman would come out to
the wagon and say : .
"Can you let me have a peck of pota
toes and trust me till John gets work?
Kemind him that the same woman
comes out now and says: "Give
me three dozen of eggs and two pounds
of butter. What are those peaches
worth? I'll take a basketful of them.
Give me a peck of those tomatoes. How
much does it all come tor Here's the
money. When are you going to bring
in some veal? John likes veal for
breakfast.
ABk him If be doesn't know that more
money ho been paid out as wage to
workingmen during the past year than
in any year in the history of Hocking
Valley. Ask him whether a consider
able part of this money hasn't found its
flay into nis capricious pocaeiuooK.
Remind him that he told me that
whenever tho Mayhew farm ia put up
for sale he intend to bid on that unner
eighty that join hia, and that he ha
mode enough money in tne last two
year to pay for it.
And then gently suggest that he doe
not appear to be auilcring much from
imperialism or trust either. Tell him
that perhaps he had better let well
enough alone. Tell him not to vote for
what he doesn t want, leu luin that
when trade is good and business confi
dence strong and healthful, it is not
wise to tear the whole thing down by
giving the administration into untried
hands.
I think that this le the only kind of
argument that will touch old man Skin
ner, but you, ray boy, have a larger oul.
I want to say gome other things to you.
My bov, thank uod that you live in a
country prosperous at home and hon
ored abroad, and never so prosperous
and honored a now. When you come
to vote this fall, remember that the Na
tional credit ha reached it highest
point : that the work of American labor
er ha gained it highest reward, and
that the glory of American arms on land
and sea has "been moat widely main
tained under the wise, thoughtful, pa
triotic administration of William Mc
kinley. Remember that his administration is
carrying out the principles and policy of
the Republican party.
Remember that the blood of four
generations of American soldiers run in
your veins, and then vote go that you
wiil not be ashamed of your vote on the
day after election.
