BRYAN's EUROPEAN ALLIES.

lot of dukes, counts, barons and other
brands of sharp European statesmen have
cabled that they are very decidedly in
favor OF Bryan's election on account of his
advocacy of silver monometallism, and
Bryan and his managers are so proud over
being recognized by dukes and counts and
the like that the earth trembles Tin their
mind) when they walk. The interest that
these titled gentlemen take in Bryan's
election would be an amusing episode of
the campaign were il not for the fact that
they are playing upon Bryan's vanity. 1t
is humiliating to Americans to know that
Europeans think man who is big enough
to be a Presidential candidate is also
stupid enough to be played upon.
These dukes and counts and barons are
exceedingly solicitous concerning Bryan's
candidacy, and if he is elected we may be
sure that the great joy of their hearts will
fnd expression in congratulatory cable
grams. The reason why these European
gentlemen are so anxious to have Bryan
elected is this: They know that Bryan is
for free trade pure and simple, and they
know that if free trade prevails in this
country they will supply our markets
with their own goods and wares, and that
if Major Mckinley is elected our markets
will be supplied with American-made
goods and wares. American politics this
year presents no aspect to Europe other
than one of business. European states
men understand very well that free trade
in the United States means employment
for their own wage-people to supply the
American demand for manufactures. and
they know that Bryan will put this coun-
try upon free-trade basis and that Major
Mckinley will not. Hence they are for
Bryan.
1t will be observed that no European
dukes or counts or barons are expressing
any desire by cable or otherwise to see
Major Mckinley, protection and sound
money carry the day in November. THIS
count and duke business is a good thing
for our workingmen to look into. They
will ind it worth their while to do so.
When foreign farmers, millmen and land
lords espouse the cause of candidate for
President of the United States 1t is very
safe to conclude that it is their own and
not our interests they are looking after.

OF INTEREST TO WoRKINGMEN.

Inc omc1al figures OF the Treasury De-
partment for the twenty-four months of
the operation OF the Wilson tariff act
ended August 81, 1896, show the expendi-
lures OF the Government to have been
$lO4.O62,32S more than the income. But
these figures have their greatest value as
indicating the degree of depression which
has prevailed in all lines of trade and in
dustry since the Wilson act became opera
tive. The figures have been received
showing the effect of the Democratic free
trade measure in the industries in July,
1895, as compared with the same month
in 1882.
The report covers $50 plants in thirty
SIX States and may be accepted as fairly
representing the entire industrial situa-
ton. In July, 1892, these $50 plants gave
constant employment to ia 231 hands,
and the payroll aggregated $3.927, 200 for
the month. During July, 1895, these same
plants gave work to 7S, 700 hands, with the
payroll aggregating only $2,469, ,712. These
hgures show not only decrease in the
force employed, but a decrease in per
capita wages, and the same conditions OBJ
tain in greater or less degree throughout
Americas industrial world.
This exhibit should be enough to satisfy
every fair-minded wage.earner that the
country IS very much more in need of
open industries for the unlimited employ
ment OF labor than open minis for the
unlimited coinage of silver. And vet
Candidate Bryan says a tariff of 10 per
cent that is levied to give American labor
an opportunity to earn good living is as

Is vastly more important that silver mine
owners should have satisfying market
for their ore than that workingmen should
have opportunity TO earn bread and butter.

WHY THEY TURN TO MiKINLEY.

1t was expected that public sentiment
would turn against Organism time enough
before the election to remove all doubt as
to Major Mckinley receiving substantial
majority of the electoral vote, but the
turning began month ago and 1t is now
going with a rush. There are two causes
for this. Major Mckinley has been re-
ceivlng delegations of voters from ali parts
of the country, and to each and every one
he has discussed the issues before the
people in a broad, liberal and thoroughly
unsectional way. He has shown that he
is actuated by sincere desire to help
better the conditions under which our
people live. He talks like a patriot who
holds ali the people and their snterests in
high esteem, and whose only thought is
the good Of his fellow-citizens. He never
talks politics, but his theme is the pros
perity of the people. The people have
watched Major Mckinley and they have
read every one of his speeches. They have
come to like him for the singleness of his
purpose and his lofty Americanism.
They see in him the manifest of men, and
they are turning to him without reference
to party ties because they believe they
He grows in the confidence and in the
esteem OF the people as few men do.
The other cause of the people turning to
Major Mckinley to lead them to stronger
commercial position, that they may have
that degree OF prosperity to which the
natural resources OF the country and
their energy entitle them, is the threats
which Bryan makes daily against the very
basic principles of the Government itself
and his desperate efforts 10 set class
against class and neighbor against neigh
Dor. The people see that Bryan is one of the
most intolerant OF men; that he regards
all who are not for him as his personal
enemies; that every State voting against
his theories he looks upon as an enemy of
every one of his followers, and that he
thinks his election so essential that the
end justifies any means that he may
choose to employ. The people see that he
is not only fanatic, but fanatic whose
ambition would involve the country in
most alarming situations both at home
and abroad. Indeed, Mr.. Bryan has DEM
onstrated to the people that one idea
dominates all his thoughts and purpose,
and that idea is Bryan's own importance.
The people, the country, commerce, in
dustry and social life appear to him as
mere agencies TO be employed to further
his personal aims. These things the peo-
pie see in Bryan and they turn away from
uim because they know a more dangerous
man could not be put at the head OF the
Government.
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-23

advocate of extreme free trade. The Will
son bill did not go far enough for him.
He would have put all American produce
as we'll as wool and lumber on the free list.
All that he could do to reduce American
industry and American wages to European
levels he did. He is now in favor of re-
ducing our money to the purchasing
power OF that of Mexico and China.
Have you protited from his free-trade leg
islation? Do you see any prospect of
profiting from his free-silver scheme?
When the Wilson bill was under discus
sion Bryan said: 81 think the duties all
the way through are higher than neces-
sary." These duties, however. cut down
protection on ali American products and
removed it entirely from some of the most
important. Californians suffered severely.
The duty on prunes was reduced from 2
cents per pound to IL, on beans from 40
cents per bushel to 20 per cent ad valorem,
on walnuts from 4 cents to 2 cents, on
shelled walnuts from 6 to cents, on
almonds from 5 cents to 3, on shelled
almonds from ~ to cents, on barley
from 80 cents per bushel to 30 per cent ad
yalorem, on honey from 20 to 10 cents per
gallon, while wool and lumber were put
upon the free list, and the sugar bounty,
under which that great industry was being
built up in the State, was abolished.
1t may be you were not engaged in pro-
ducing any of these things either as an
employer or as workingman. You have
therefore lost nothing directly by the de-
crease in the duties. Is it not fact, how
ever, that you have lost something by your
neighbor's loss? Has not the market for
your products been duller, your profits less,
your wages smaller and N ore irregularP
Have you not had your share in the de-
preston produced by this breaking down
of the protective system2 Have not the
cities suffered from the loss inflicted upon
farmersP Have not the farmers suffered
from the loss inflicted upon the manufac-
turers and workingmen of the cities?
Issues occasionally arise in the history
of nations when men rightly turn aside
from self-interest to consider some great
patriotic or moral principle. We have
had side issues in our country, but they
are not before us now. Free trade and
free silver affect business and must be
dealt with like other matters of business.
Consider your own industry and that of
your neighbor. Vote for renewal of
trade and good wages. Bear in mind that
protection means prosperity and that to
restore prosperity is patriotism.
