In their desperation to carry the
election, the Bryanites have enter
ed into campaig gn Of misreprescn
tation. The latest cry they have
sent up is, that railroad corpora
tons are enGeavoring to coercc
their employees into voting for Nc
Kinlcy on pain of dismissal. The
heads of the departments may be
recommending to the employees
that it vii! be to their interest if
the Republican ticket is successful.
and they have every right to do
this. As for cocrsion there can lie
none, as it would be difficult. in
deed, under the present system of
balloting, for the companies to dis
cover how each Of their employees
has voted. In case Of Bryans
election the companies could not
discharge their employees wholesale,
and the individual Is safe under
cover of the secret ballot.
The railroad companies know
that the election of Bryans party
will result in a financial and com
mcrcial disturbance without paral-
lei in the history of this country.
They have gained foresight enough
to know that this disturbance Will
cause Il heavy decline in railroad
business. and which. in consc-
qucncc must result in 4 large cur
tailmcnt of their working force.
! 1t is for the benefit of the cmployc
us we'll as for the companies that
the latter are recommending TIC
former to associate with Mckinley
clubs and vote the Republican
ticket. When a workingnan votes
in favor Of legislation adverse to
the interests of his employer he
votes against his own interests.
The country has had a fair exam
pie of what Il dcmagoguery can ac-
complish by arousin@ the laborine
class against against the employing
class in the distrcssful times whicl
followed the election OF Cleveland
in 1892.
