Mr.. Mckinley has been called by
his Republican friends the advance
agen of prosperity. The prosperity
has not shown itself yet, but the fault
does not lie in that quarter. The
proceedings of the Chicago conven-
ton were of just the sort to paralyze
business, create disgust and cause
stagnation during the next four
months. Everything in the material
world is favorable to good times, but
there can be no improvement while
the thunder cloud of Bryan and his
populistic, anarchistic platform re-
mains on the horizon. We now have
a party in the field whose avowed
purpose is to cause such suspension.
This threat kills for the time being
every business interest in the coun-
try. People who have money will
not invest it till they know the result
of the election. Everybody will live
from hand to mouth, and we shall be
fortunate if nothing worse happens
than the continuance of the present
stagnation.- -Euenifag Post, ~ Y, Dem.

FREE FOLLY.

Som VermOnters seem to be inclin-
ed to be Influenced by the cry of "free
silver,' which is being made in some
sections, and which, in a sense, the
democrats of the West and Southwest
are adopting. Do not be deceived
about 'sfree" silver. There is diff
ference between free coinage, which
is the attempt of the silver owners to
have their silver coined free, and
free silver, if it is supposed that the
metal will be ''free" or more nearly
free, under the proposed regime of
the democratic platform. The de-
mand of the holders Of silver and of
those who are interested in silver
mining property and silver mining
stocks, is that the United States gov
erDment shall coin into legal tender
dollars, free of expense to the holders
of the silver, all of the white metal
that shall be offered for minting pur-
poses. The expense of this alone
would be heavy; but this is only
drop in the bucket, compared with
every dollar so coined shall become
legal tender dollar, good and valid for
the payment of every debt, and CO.
equal with every gold dollar, which is
intrinsically worth about two silver
dollars.
Up to this time, since the resump-
ton Of specie payment soon after the
close of the war, and what at that time
was hailed as one of the greatest pos
sible blessings to the country govern
ment has paid out and received gold,
silver and greenbacks, one absolute
ly, in a sense, as good as the other.
Both silver and greenbacks have been
redeemable in gold. To meet any
sudden demand that should be made
on the q. S. treasury for gold, re-
serve of that metal, one hundred mil
lion dollars or more, has been kept on
hand. When this has run low, as it
has done during the last administra-
tion, money has been borrowed on
bonds, in order to keep funds in the
treasury to meet gold demands. With
this money in the treasury any party
holding matured government obliga-
tions, greenback currency, silver, gov
ernment bonds, or any other claim,
has had his debt paid with gold, when
gold has been demanded.
So long as the affairs of the treasu-
ry were in such a state that the rev.
enues exceeded the expenses of gov
ernment, all went well. But when
the tariff and the revenues were cut
down the treasury was emptied. Hence

The wild Jacobins who have raided
the Chicago Convention cannot go
fore the people as the Democratic
Party or under it's standard. They
have not only repudiated the cardinal
principles of Democracy and cast TO
the winds its time honored traditions,
but they have wantonly denounced
the only Democrat who has led the
party to victory since the war, and the
one who has done the most to save it
from the suicidal fate which has now
overtaken it. They have launched
new party and must sail under its
colors-the party of silverism, repudi-
alton and Populism.-N. Y. Times

James Creelman says in the World
that Bryan's salary as political editor
of the Omaha World Herald was 81 800.
Outside of his $4,000 year congress
ional salary, this is the largest figure
the young man has ever commanded.
Mr.. Edward Rosewater, editor of the
Omaha Bee, who has watched at close
range the career of the democratic
candidate for president, says that
from a professional standpoint, Mr..
Bryan may be considered as dismal
failure. His legal practice has never
amounted to anything worth mention
ing. While he was nominal editor of
the Omaha World Herald since Sept.
1, 1894, he has in reality been a mere
journalistic figure head. His name
has been paraded at the head of the
weekly edition, to draw free silver
delusionists, but it was soon taken
out of the daily. He has been travel
ling about the country five weeks out
of six as the paid champion of the BIZ
metallic League.

Is this the banner under which
Democrats are invited to march to
the polls in 1896? Reputation, rob
berry, inequitable taxation, a free
hand for the forces of socialism, a
clear field for the advance of the
-skirmish line of communism and an
archy. 1t seems to us that the issue
has been made plainly at Chicago, not
between Democracy and Republican
ism, but between Democracy and the
enemies of the institutions and prin-
ciples which it has been Democracy's
mission for a century to defend.-N.

Of all the practical object lessons
likely to be furnished the voters be-
fore the campaign is over, none is
more significant than the fact that of
1887 papers in this country printed in
the German language, there are only
AZ which are not advocating the main
tainance of the existing gold standard
irrespectives Of party affiliations. The
cause is not far to seek. Tt was not
so long ago that Germany was exper.
fencing the operation of free silver
coinage, but that many now living
can remember its effects in the father
land.

the Cleveland administration with its
own inadequate tariff is compelled to
borrow money. Otherwise this great
nation would have been obliged to
suspend payment,its credit disgraced,
the wheels of government trigged and
state of shame and disaster would
| have been upon US.
| 1t seems strange that just at this
crisis, while we are short in pocket,
and while business has been crippled
by mistaken tariff policy, that the
people will be carried away with the
| silver delusion, which is fraught with
disaster to all. Why people who have
no interest in silver more than in cop
per or lead should desire to enter into
scheme of the silver holders and Of
fer, Indirectly, to pay them a dollar
for thing shat is worth only 50 cents,
is mystery that is hard to compre
bend.
That the holders of silver and those
that have some interest in silver stock
should strive to unload their product
on the government and on the people
by and large is not to be wondered at,
but what in the light of common sense
this sort can not be understood. When
the true inwardness of the late demo-
cratic convention is understood, it
will be found that hundreds of those
who were there to stampede the old
sound money party toward silver were
men directly interested in silver
property. About one in three in the
rank ahd file of that remarkable con-
vention were not deluded, bought up,
or forced into the silver m8lstrom.
The sound, steady Jewel headed states
men were dead in earnest against the
craze.
Republican leaders, with the excep-
ton of a few from the silver producing
states, were not caught in the delu
sion, and the national convention
took solid grounds for the gold stand
ard, in line with and in accordance
with the sound judgment of all can
did economists and fnanciers.
That the silver mania should have
caught the democracy harder than it
did the rival party is not wonder.
The whole party is grieved or disgust
ed with its performance of the last
three years. Really so great is its
disappointment that the convention
abused Mr.. Cleveland and the whole
administration by refusing a decent
endorsement, by vote Of nearly two
to one. This was downright meanness,
and it could not have been done in
any convention of democrats, which
was not controlled by silver maniacs
and populists. Mr.. Cleveland's ad
ministration has been a sad failure in
some respects, but we believe he is
entitled to vastly more credit than his
own party, as it is now controlled, is
willing to grant him. He Will have a
name and reputation when the fall
lacies which have got control of de-
mocracy have passed into merited OBJ
1ivion. Disappointed and enraged the
party as represented in the national
convention has jumped into a thing
that promises disaster, compared with
which the present condition is super
lative happiness. Honest, far seeing
democrats repudiate the whole thing.
Intelligent republicans denounce free
coinage of silver as dishonest and ru
inous when they come to understand
the situation, and will be found to
give no aid or countenance to thing
that promises only evil.
