cratic plan of campaign seems to be that
Bryan is to run the windmill while Sewall
runs the pay train. If Sewall rattles off
the cash as fast as Bryan rattles off speech
es, times are going to become lively"
| II free coinage would enable the savings
banks TO pay off their 81 1850 900. 900 OF deposits
! in fifty -three-cent dollars and thereby make
profit OF 1884 800. 900. why is it that the heads
/ OF those banks. who are in business to make
money. are so bitterly opposed to free coin
Denver Nei0s.
This query comes from the West, where
we find majority of the men who are de-
manding the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. We answer that we believe the
majority of Eastern bankers to be honor
able and honest. So far as we can learn,
there is no disposition on the part of the
bankers of the East to settle their accounts
for fifty-three cents on the dollar. 1t is
not surprising that the editor of the Den
yer Nes0s favors the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, because it is the organ
of men who have borrowed money right
and left, and are now anxious to pay it
back..in cheaper currency, that will give
them profit of fifty per cent. or there
about.-State Gazette.
A Brooklyn workman, who has been
studying the economic question now be-
fore the people. calls for work first and
the money to pay for it afterward. He
says:
II claim the money in question, or free
silver. is subordinate to the greater or
underlying question ofthe tariff, because
upon a protective tariff depends our bust
ness interests. What does it matter to
the business interests of this country or
to the wage Garner whether we have an
abundance of gold. silver or paper, or all
combined, if business is paralyzed, trade
is dull. mills, factories and mines are
closed. and there is no opportunity for
employment or the Investment of capital.
Employ our unemployed labor and the
money question will adjust ITSELF"
The question of work is certainly the
foremost one just now. and the way to get
it and renewed business prosperity is by
voting for Mckinley, Hobart and protec-
ton. Choose carefully the lawmakers
and there need be no question about the
character of our currency. 1t will be as
good as the best in the world.-Camden
Courier.
Bourke Cochran, the exTammany ora
tor, returned from Europe on Saturday.
AS he is leading Democratic politician
the public desired to know his views on
the campaign. He says:
Il regard it as the gravest in the history
of the country. exceeding in importance
the crisis OF 1850. The secession move
ment was but an attempt to divide this
country between two governments, each
of them designed to protect property with
in the limit of its jurisdiction. The move
ment launched at Chicago is an attempt
to parslyze industry by using all the pow
ers of government to take property from
the hands of those who created 1t and
place it in the hands of those who covet
it. This is question of morals as we'll as
of politics. No political convention can
issue valid license to commit offenses
against morality, and decline to follow
Mr.. Bryan in crusade against honesty
and the rights of labor"
Mr.. Cochran is opposed to third ticket
and thinks sound money Democrats
should support the Mckinley electors.
The fact that 30 many of the Exon
federates are against free silver is not sur
prising. They remember the time when
they had nothing but Confederate money.
and it took handful of the stuff to
buy plug of tobacco.
In his speech at Madison, Wis, on Fri
day night last, Senator Thurston made the
statement that the owners of silver mines
had found it profitable to keep large
number of lecturers in the field to preach
free coinage, and that among these was
William ]. Bryan. who was employed at
good salary. This allegation was not
made for the first time by Senator Thurs
ton. 1t has been frequently made. and
although reiterated in the Omaha Bee,
newspaper published within few miles
of Mr.. Bryan's home, and daily read by
him. has never been denied by that gen.
tleman.
