DoUBLE-DEALING SEWALL.
He Demands Gold In Payment for Tim
Der Transportation.

oCT AIahs YOTt1AAOhs
Attention was lately directed In these
columns to the significant fact that Alt
geld of Chicago, although rip-roaring
champion of silver. so far as his vocifer-
Gus talk in conventions and out OF them
is concerned, when IL comes to business
is goldbug. We demonstrated this fiat
failure of Altgeld's practice to conform
to his preaching by reproducing. the
clause which forms part of all the
leases which are made out by the Unity
company, a business enterprise of Chica-
go, of which Altgeld Is president. He
was a leading figure in the. Bryan con-
vention which made the dishonest de-
mand for the free coinage of silver, but
nevertheless the lease clause in question
expressly stipulates that the tenant shall
pay his rent I'm STANDARD GOLD
COIN OF THE UNITED STATES"
And now Arthur Sewall, who is run
ming for vice-president on the Bryan
ticket, is caught in the same glazing
hypocrisy. He. too, is expressly COM
mitted to free silver. Indeed, he is more
thoroughly committed to it than Altgeld,
since he is making the canvass for the
vice-presidency upon the silver Chicago
platform and has professed loyal ale
glance to it. But a little matter like
that, it turns out, does not prevent Ar
thur Sewall from ignoring silver and in
sisting upon gold when it comes to the
payment of debts due him. That is the
sort of brave knight of silver ne is.
He is unmasked in the New York Trib-
une of yesterday. Sewall recently took
the contract for carrying four shiploads
of timber from Maine to Long Island
City for the creosoting firm of Eppinger
& Russell. and insisted upon the inser-
ton of the following clause in the con-
tract: M
The party Of the second part agrees to pay
to said party of the first part, or agent, for
the transportation of said timber, - dol
lars and - cents, UNITED STATES
GOLD OR IT'S EQUIVALENT.
What do you say to that Mr.. Bryan?
Or you, Tom Watson? Imagine the feel
ing of the Populists when they read this
exposure! The soldier company which
on its formation adopted a resolution
reading, resolved that in case of war
this company will Immediately disband,"
would have been an organization after
Sewall's own heart. In his canvass,
when his aim is to fool the voters he
poses as a free silver soldier, but when
it comes to getting pay for timber-pres-
to--he disbands his free silver convic-,
tons and exacts gold, Omitted States

Several Of the prettiest gowns from a
widely known designer who seems
much in favor of wide waists are made
with point inlet down the back of the
bodice. This Is to take Off the very big
look, instead Of to emphasize the wasp
like slenderness as it would have been
last year. An extremely pretty model
shows green velvet bodice, close fit
ting and finished just below the waist
line with a narrow belt. The back of
the bodice Is parted from collar to waist
and panel that dwindies to a point at
the waist Is inserted. Along the edges
of the panel pretty soutache braid like
the belt is set. The panel is bright
green silk covered with gray lace.
About the green cloth skirt just above
the hem is band OF soutache. The
front Of the bodice Is made like the

are tight to the shoulder, but puff con-

Quoees Henry Ward Beecher and Chnrg0e
misrepresentation.
The most remarkable of the citations
OF Mr.. Bryan during his address In
the one in which he said, referring to
Henry Ward Beecher:
! only wish, that the distinguished divine
whose name has added to the great fame
of your great city were with us tonight,
that he might again champion the cause
OF the people In their great hight or today.
Chauncey M. Depew used this rs a
text in his address at the Clermont ave-
nue. rink this evening. The occasion was
the formal opening Of the Kings county
Republican campaign in Brooklyn. Six
thousand persons crowded into the hall
and cheered the speaker. National
Chairman Hanna was. one of the dis
tinguished men on the platform.

THE MEANING OF FREE SILVER.
Method Used, by Moses III. Cone to Show
the Effect of Its Use.

the Effect of Its Use.
That experience is the best teacher
is the creed of the Cone Export and
Commission company of 105 Franklin
street. The Cone Export and Commits
sion company acts as the agent of some
twenty cotton mills in the South, employ
ing in the aggregate several thousand
men, the combined capital being about
$15,000,00O. Moses II. Cone of the
firm, learning that many of the en-
ployes of the company were preaching
free silver with gusto, decided to give
be convincing. The company owns at
Greensborough, N. c., a large factory
known as the Southern Finishing Ware
house company, employing about 500
hands. When pay day came last week
the employees were surprised to receive
all their wages in silver with the i'm
print of the Mexican government upon
the metal. A Mexican silver dollar, as
is generally known, is worth about 53
cents I'D our money. In paying his men
in Mexican money, Mr.. Cone paid them
at the bullion rate. That is, he allowed
each dollars indebtedness to his em-
ployes. With the pay envelopes went
an explanation Of the matter, and re-
ports from the South say that the free
silver sentiment among the men was eff
fectually crushed. The employees were
received in exchange for it material equal
in value only to the bullion worth of the
metal. Thus it was evident to them
that while they got twice as much silver.
the purchasing power was clipped in two,
and 50 they gained nothing.
When n Tribune reporter called at the
Offices of the Cone Export and Commits
sion company, in Franklin street, yester-
day. he was unable to see Moses H..
Gone, who is out of the city, but another
member of the firm gave the following
explanation of the firms action: "Mr.
Cone" he said, has great deal of
dealing with foreign nations, and he
tenn that is unquestioned. He saw that
in the South and West the people did
not understand the matter, and he de-
sired TO bring the truth home In as tell
ing n manner as possible. Accordingly he
adopted this method. He wished to show
to his employees that the fiat of the gov
eminent would not make 30 cents worth
of silver equal to 100 cents, save In our
own country, and that as soon as it
passed out of this country 1t returned to
its bullion value. He further wished to
show them that the 80 cents worth of
silver by the governments fiat could only
be made worth 100 cents within the linn
its of the country as long as the nations
credit was untarnished, and to show to
them that the most vicious attack that
could be made upon the nations finan-
ciaI integrity was embodied in the adop-
ton of the free-coinage system. / think
our people, by the force of our little per-
'sonally-illustrated argument, see the
matter in n true light, and will desert
their false idols. do not know whether
the experiment will be repeated or not.
That remains for Mr.. Cone to say. but l
think the lesson has been satisfactory
all around. New York Tribune.

ing to look queer, for models of dress
>es are not being altered and dress
makers and tailors are merely increas-

form to the "ruie Of thumb" at least

once the neck; twice the neck, once the

too small as to waist.

No Issue.

Washington Press: Bryan shows that
he is n demagogue in these ways:
1. He says, to incite prejudice, If you
burn down all the cities, but leave the
farms, the cities will spring up as by
magic. The farm is all in all. But
what is the farm without cities, that is,
markets? Nothing. One is as necessary
as the other, therefore there is no issue,
can be no issue.
2. He constantly sets employe against
employer, labor VS.. capital. But
capital is as necessary as labor, and la
Dor as capital. What can workman do
If there is no one to pay him wfges ?
What can producer do without Y ork-
men? There can be no issue betffeen
two equally necessary things.
3. He rubs the ears of the West and
South, as sections, as If they were dogs,
and sets them on the East as a section,
and yells, Sic! The East is 200 ~ 300
years old, and has saved money snd is
rich. while the South was impoverished
by the war she brough on herself, and
the West Is new, and both need capital.
The East Is as necessary to them as
they are to the East, yea, more no, for
the East could loan her surplus money
elsewhere. But to buy and open farms,
make improvements, get stock, etc, the
West and South must have capital. The
East loans it, but wants ii paid hack, in
as good money as 1t lent. Bryan gets
mad at this; wants to pay hack half of
1t and call 1t square, and lyingly pre-
tends that farmers are as mean and dis
honest as himself. Because che East
insists on being paid only its Sust dues
as stipulated, Bryan arrays tw5 sections
against one. That's the brea6th of his
manhood and Americanism. Que section
needs the other, the one as mach as tie
other. hence there can be no issue, and
to make one shows that he is not only q
demagogue but a repudiatDr and a
scoundrel.
The farm needs the city, TIE city iaust
have the farm.
The capitalist needs the workman, the
workman must find the m oreyed man.
One section must have s ,ther, If only
to swap knives with. We are one coun-
try, we are brethren.
