Ir is said that Boss Wellington re-
marked contemptuously, just after the
election, that the gold Democrats did
not cut any figure in carrying Mary.
land for Mckinley, that the Republi-
cans could have carried the State
without them. Whether this is true
or not we will not venture to say. but
we know that the Boss had the cleo
ton machinery OF the State we'll in
hand and from the reports brought
from Baltimore to Snow Hill by re-
sponsible Baltimoreans, it was used to
swell the Republican majority several
thousand. Wellington is the most
arrogant boss this State ever knew
and nothing more need be expected
from him than to claim the credit for
every Republican victory

How about the Campbell Zell Co.,
OF Baltimore? Ii is said this firm
issued a circular 10 their employees ia
the effect that If BRYAN was elected
they would have 10 close up their
works ard throw 800 men out Of
employment. OF course il Mckinley
was elected everything would boom.
What is the result The Campbell
Zell Co. has been compelled TO make
an assignment and the 500 men who
were made TO believe that McKinley's
election meant plenty OF work for
them are now out of a job. And the
Sugar trust has shut down the Balti-
more refinery and thrown a large
number of men out of employ
ment also. They too used all means
TO coerce their employees and after
the election they shut up shop and
left the poor workingman TO go on his
uppers.

BRYAN SEES HOPE AHEAD

In the December number of the
North american Reriew. Mr.. Bryan
presents an article, in which he dis.
cusses the result of the election as
affecting the status of the silver ques-
ton. The issue on which the election
turns he describes rs 1.-The greatest
issue ever submitted to the American
people in time OF peace" The declar-
alton of the Chicago Convention in
favor of the free coinage of silver
forced upon the people of this country
a study OF the money question in gen
eral; and within the last four months
more people have been simultaneously
engaged in its consideration than ever
before in the history of the world
The result of this study Mr.. Bryan
declares to be Temporary defeat but
permanent gain for the cause Of BIZ
metallism."
Mr.. Bryan expresses his assurance
that the election can be by no means
regarded as conclusive settlement OF
the questions at issue. The advocates
of free coinage are convinced that
they are laboring in behalf of large
majority of the people, not only here,
but throughout the world; and they
propose to continue their fight, conf.
dent that four more years of exper-
fence will convince many who have
thus far resisted argument.
Mr. Bryan counsels the Republican
party to remember that thousands OF
Republicans have been held to their
party this year by the pledge that
they will try to secure international
bimetallism.
In regard to the gold-standari
Democrats. Mr.. Bryan is assured that
they cannot do as much harm in 1900
as they have done this year. They
have declared their affection for Dem
Ocratic principles, while they spared
no effort to secure the success of the
Republican ticket. "They cannot"
he says, disguise themselves again. :"
The contest for financial independ-
ence will 60 on says Mr.. Bryan.
I'VE are ready for another contest.
We believe that we are right. and,
believing that right will finally tri-
umph. we face the future firm in the
belief that bimetallism will be restor-

CHANDELIERS FINANCIAL
VIEWS.

In an article published in the Ma
tional Review Of London, and in a
supplementary interview in the Jour
nal Tuesday. Senator Chandler reit-
crates all that has been charged
against gold monometallism by the
most positive Of the free silver agita-
tors. and goes one step beyond The
American silveTite in urging the re-
establishment of the Tree coinage of
silver not a Bryan's ratio Of is TO /,
but at the former European ratio OF
l5s TO /. He declares that the
American people have come TO believe
that the quantity of real money, and
not the money which must be redeem
ed in some other money, determines
the prices of the worlds commodities /:
that the decentralization of half the
worlds real money is slowly reducing
prices and crushing debtors, and that
the use Of only gold as non-redeemable
money is placing the great instrument
Of exchange in commerce upon such
narrow basis that the present depres-
sion in production and trade will con-
time, with occasional and temporary
reactions, for an indefinite period, and
with manifold evils to the human race
the world over"
Believing this, however, the Amer
lean people have distinctly refused, as
Senator Chandler points out, TO accept
immediate and independent tree coin
age as a cure for these evils. II is
accordingly interesting to see what he,
as an influential member of the now
dominant party in the nation, believes
will be the remedy applied.
To begin with, Senator Chandler
desires another international monetary
conference called, and that at once.
lie would not wait for the coming in
II the new Administration. but would
have joint resolution passed by the
present Congress 50 that it might be
ready for Mckinley on his accession
to office. To this there could be no
possible objection, except from the
comparatively few who sincerely he
ieve in absolute gold recommendation.
The one cause OF the demand for the
independent coinage Of silver by the
United States was the belief that
nothing in the way Of an international
agreement could be obtained. Those
who we're Ioudest in that demand will
still interpose no obstacle TO the effort
to accomplish an international agree
ment if the effort is made. as Senator
Chandler says it should be, by "honor-
able men who will not let the matter
drop. ~ y. Journal
