SILVER IN THE EAST.

Friends of the White Metal Boarding the
Gold Lion In His Den.
The free coinage advocates have be-
gun much needed campaign in the
eastern cities, chiefly among the work
ingmen and wage earners- As the
gold-bug papers deem it their duty to
smother discussion, to suppress facts
and to distort arguments. the general
public has heard little or nothing of
this free coinage campaign in the east.
And yet it has been going on in the
most vigorous way. In Philadelphia
the campaign has been marked by q
series of largely attended outdoor
meetings The Philadelphia Amer
lean says that the small crowds which
welcomed the champions of free COIN
age have grown from night to night
as the meetings have been more broad
1y advertised. The resolution, deco
rum and enthusiasm of the crowds,
the American says, have been most
striking. Indeed, no room is left for
doubt that the great masses of the in
telligent wage earners of Philadelphia
and other eastern cities only need to
have the case of bimetallism fairly
placed before them to become earnest
advocates of the immediate restoration
of silver to its place as money side by
side with gold
The American says that for the first
two or three nights, when the attend
ance at the meetings numbered but q
few hundred, the gold-bug organs ridi-
culed them. Now when the attendance
has grown so large as to make ridicule
dangerous. the gold-bug organs studi-
ously ignore the meetings

WANTS TO SETTLE OLD SCORES
Reasons for Harrison's Opposition to Mc-
kinley and Reed.

Reasons for Harrison's Opposition to Mc-
kinley and Reed.
It was the billion-do1lar congress, of
which Mr.. Reed of Maine was speaker,
and Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio was chair
man OF the ways and means commit
tee, that passed the notorious high
tariff measure known as the Mckinley
bill. Mr.. Harrison was president OF
the United States, and it required his
signature to make it a law. In the
election following the Mckinley bill,
the democrats and low-tax men swept
the country, Notwithstanding that the
manufacturers, who were the only
class benefited by the law, contributed
large campaign sums for the success
of the hig b protection cause.
The republican journals, comment
ing on the result of the election and
the causes that led to it. universally
admitted that the passage of the Nc.
kinley bill was the chief cause for the
republican disaster. Those few per-
sons who held the confidence OF Presi-
dent Harrison openly stated that Mr..
Reed, as speaker OF the house, had
been warned by the president against
the extravagant appropriations being
made, and that Mr.. Mckinley, as chair
man of the ways and means committee,
had been advised by the president not
to build the tariff duties too high.
The presidents advice and wishes
were disregarded, and when the crush
ing rebuke of the people fell upon the
administration and hurled it from
power the friends of Gen. Harrison,
if not the president himself, blamed
Reed and Mckinley for the misfortune
to the party. Certain it is that from
the election in 1890 up to tie present
time Gen. Harrison has had no love for
either Reed or Mckinley. Therefore
the statement of Mr.. New that were
his (Harrison's) advice solicited he
would select neither Mr.. Mckinley nor
Mr.. Reed as the republican candidate
for president will cause no surprise in
those circles where the facts above
noted are so well known. Nor will the
announcement that Gen. Harrison is
not a candidate for president cause
any surprise among observant poiiti-
clans. Courier-JournaL

THE COMMITTEE BANKRUPT.


Republican Fat-Fryers Are Hnstling for
Campaign Funds
The republican national committee
continues to exploit its bankrupt cor
dition before the people in Offering to
locate the next national convention of
that party at the city which will pay
off the committees debt in addition to
the regular bonus and donations. In
one of these scandalous announce
ments the committees debt is said to
be forty thousand dollars, which has
been hanging over it since the cam
paign of 1892.
This is the amount which Pittsburgh
Is invited to raise as the price of max
ing a bid for the convention. A dis
patch from that city in a republican
paper says: Zone of the conditions of
the conventions coming here. it is re-
ported, is that the iron and steel man
ufacturers pay off the debt carried by
the committee since the last campaign
It is said that forty thousand dollars
will cover the amount owed" This
declaration is as disgraceful as it is
candid.
It has been usual with the republican
committees to fry the fat" out of the
protected manufacturers for the pay
ment of election expenses. They are

Campbell, '.Dick" Kerens, ''Sam" Fes-
sender, Mike" De Young and their
associates left outstanding at the close
of the profigate and disastrous repub-
lican campaign of 1892.
It must be understood that this con-
tribution of forty thousand dollars is
required to pay the old debt of the
committee. 1t is in addition to the
usual muni6cent sum contributed to
pay the expenses of the committee, the
convention aud the favored individuals
who enjoy the municipal hospitality of
the place where the convention is

city desiring to make bid for the con

thousand dollars first, to pay the COM

to this sum will get the convention.

Lame Efforts OF Protectionists to Delude

No rigid analysis is required to show
the absurdity of the statistical exhibit
issued by the American protective
tariff league under the transparency
false pretense that it is review of the
operations of the Wilson bill in COM
parison with the Mckinley bill
The exhibit Is SO absurd on its face
that it could not have been issued by
men of sense except under the impress
sion that most newspaper readers are
willing to believe that even the most
foolish figures cannot lie.
The pretended exhibit of decrease
in the number of employees in wooden
and cotton mills is based on returns
from mills which in 1890 employed on
ly Gel men, while returns are given for
only 800 employees in cotton and jute.
only 3O5 in cut nails and spikes, only
900 in pottery, only Gel in wire-work-
ing, only IS in yarns and cloths, and SO
on down to only CAB in newspapers,
printing and publishing.'
What are we to think of the intel
l;gence or of the honesty of men who
undertake to make a report on the con-
dition of the American newspaper
business when they have in hand re-
turns from establishments employing
e total of only 643 men-a less number
than are employed on the force of a
single frst-class newspaper?
Yet the tariff league has done this,
and the like OF it not only once but
continually. Evidently the league has
been iu,oosod upon. 1t ought to per-
suade its statistician to devote himself
to sone occupation i'll which he will

posures of his inadequacy. He ought
