BRYAN's POWERS.

The New York Journal pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Mr.. Bryans intellect
ual endowment and marvellous pow
ers of endurance:
As the campaign advances toward
its elimination Mr.. Bryan appears to
gain in physical power and intellectual
activity daily. His opponents vainly
strive to stem the rising tide of adrni-
ration for his gigantic powers by en-
ploying the shafts of ridicule, which
fall blunted from the impregnable
armor of his argument. Mr.. Bryan, I'M
aided by the corporate powers which
seek to keep the volume of money
narrowed and controlled by the few,
unsupported by the great mass of news
papers which court the favor of trusts
and nonopoiies because of their wealth,
goes about the country preaching the
gospel of monetary salvation and max
ing myriads Of converts who will lay
the pledges of their faith upon the
altar of public prosperity on sNovem-'
her 8. p
And it is interesting to recall the
fact that, from the time of his Madison
Square speech, the opposition has in
sisted that Mr.. Bryan had talked him
Republican managers are kept busy
trying to undo the work done by the
Democratic candidate. They are send
ing out men to follow him closely and
devote themselves to answering his
arguments. From sections visited by
him come despairing Republican APP
peals for help to beat back the Demo-
cratic wave following his speeches. In
every locality where he has spoken the
increase in Democratic sentiment has
been so pronounced that Hanna and
his lieutenants contemplate his tour
with nervous dread So pronounced
has become their state of panic that
they are arranging to hold meetings in
opposition to him when he appears in
Chicago.
The actions of the Republicans show
that they do not believe what they say
about Mr. Bryan having talked too
much for his own good. When he read
that wonderful argument in--Madison
Square Garden instead of giving an ex-
hibition of imprisoned orat5ry, there,
was SUITE uiSdpyOllillicul dillOAS tAiOoC
who had hoped to hear an effort like
that which stirred the Chicago conven-
ton. The Republican press chose to
interpret that feeling of disappoint-
ment as evidence of failure on the part
of the candidate, and it was fondly
believed that he was going to pieces.
But, instead of having broken down
or deteriorated, Mr.. Bryan has grown
in power while undergoing the terrible
strain to which he has been subjected,
and today he stands forth before the
world as one of the marvels Of the age.
Hard work does not seem to exhaust
him physically, while his brain bright
ems under the exercise until it glows
like diamond. He has not been ex-
celled in this generation, and it is
doubtful if, taken all in all, the country
has ever produced any one who was
fully his equal.

BOOK NOTES.


A Quarter of Century of Prices.
By Ellsworth Daggett. This is a
pamphlet of some sixty pages defining
the extent and magnitude of the move
ment of prices of q of the principal
commodities of the United States since
1870 These commodities are divided
into six groups as follows: The grain
group, under which are ranged wheat,
corn, oats and barley. The potato
group, potatoes, hay and tobacco. The
textile group; wool and cotton. The
farm animal group; horses, mules,
mich COWS, oxen, sheep and swine.
The metal group; pigiron, copper and
silver. The hydro carbon group;
anthracite coal, biturninous coal and
petroleum.
Mr.. Daggett has presented facts, not
argument or theory, and his facts are
absolutely reliable, being taken from
official government sources. The tables
and diagrams are interesting and use
ful. The pamphlet should become
wade mecum with all those interested
in the movement of prices. And who
is not interested in them?
In Utah Mr. Daggetts name is
synonymous with thoroughness and ac-
curacy.

THIS MORNINGS LETTERS.

The letters published this morning
from Utah men who serve The Herald
at the front in the capacity of special
commissioners, will be found OF much
interest. Mr.. Variants report from
Ohio is decidedly encouraging, and it is
apparent that he has studied the stu
alton very closely. If the claim stated
by him as being made respecting Har-
rison county should be maintained
throughout the state, the Democrats
would make a total gain of about
100000 over the figure of last year. That
would give Bryan majority of 10000.
Of course that is a very slim peg to
hang an estimate upon, but it tallies
with those coming from other sources
as to the status in other parts of the
state.
Mr.. Varian states that the Repub-
lican national committee is hurrying its
speakers back into the state. That is
more significant even than the figures
furnished. The Republicans have kept
those states crowded with canvassers,
and wherever the committee is found
concentrating its strength it may be
understood that it has found weakness
in its lines.
But the most interesting feature of
the letter is the lucid explanation of
the manner in which coercion is prac-
ticed among miners, railroad men and
other workmen. Mr.. Varian makes it
clear that this method of campaigning
has been widely resorted to; and he
also shows how simple it is for those
engaging in it to make their wishes
known.
Mr. Evans letter from Chicago is
also of absorbing interest. He very
plainly states the uncertainty prevail
ing with respect to Illinois. From his
letter we may understand that every
foot of that state is fighting ground.
The intensity of the contest is reflected
by the statement respecting the num-
Der Of political meetings held in Chi
cago last Sunday. 1t is astonishing to
hear that six hundred or seven hundred
such meetings occurred in single city
in one day.
The closing paragraph of Mr.. Evans
letter throws strong light upon the
patriotism of the Chicago banks. They
refuse to pay ont gold, sending the coin
to t!.e government in exchange for cur
rency. in order to avoid another bond
issue-and they will continue this
policy until after the elections!
MIR. Stephens writes most encourage
ingly from Nebraska. He is satisfied
the state is safe; and those who read
his letter will gree With him. ~.

HIGHER EDucATroS AND Politics.

In his address at Princeton university
on the occasion of its sesqui-centennial
anniversary, Mr.. Cleveland asked who
could better caution against passion
and bitterness than those who know by
thought and study their baneful con-
sequences, and who are themselves
within the brotherhood of higher edu-
cation. Mr.. Cleveland further said
that those who. in the university or
college. have an opportunity to study
the mission of American institutions
and who, in the light of history, have
learned the danger to the people of
their neglect of the patriotic care they
owe TO the national life intrusted to
their keeping. should be well fitted CON
stantly to admonish their fellow citi-
zens that the usefulness and benefi-
cence Of their plan of government can
only be preserved through their I'M
selfish and loyal support, and their
contented willingness TO accept in full
return the peace. protection and oppor-
tunity which it impartially bestows.
Everyone win echo the sentiments
here EXPRESSED. Now let US see how
some Of those who have had the ad-
vantages spoken Of by Mr.. Cleveland
use them when they get into active po-
litical life.

TEE SALT LAKE HERALDs FRIDAY. OCTOBER g. 1894,

Princeton is not his alma mater, is such
one. He is opposed to free silver
and sheds his cultured light upon those
who advocate it after this manner:
Our foes are waging a campaign
which is, at the bottom, waged prignar-
lily against morality and ability. Thee
hate the men who pay their debts and
obey the laws, exactly as they hate the
men who win success in life or who
cause the laws to be enforced. They
use free silver as q cry because they
hope Herewith for the moment TO mis-
lead some honest men and to bride
some dishonest men; but they really
care little for any particular form of
policy as regards the currency At bot
tom what they most desire is to strike
down the men who by virtue of leader
ship in any walk of life whether it be
in business or theology or law or liter
allure or science, tend by their efforts to
raise the whole community upward.
The forces which they have rallied be-
hind them and which give them their
only real power are the dark and mean
hostility and envy felt for all men of
ability by those unworthy men who
care more to see their brethren fail
than themselves to win success by
earning and deserving il. Mr. Bryan
and his followers rail at every form of
enterprise and thrift and at all the
countless manifestations of intelligence
and of organized effort which go to
make up civilization. He attacks busi-
ness men as such. He attacks clergy
men as such.
What thought and study this shows
How the spirit of sweet reasonable
ness" breathes through it all. The re-
filming influence of the scholar in poll
ties is thing to marvel at.

Bryan and that it is highly essential

COSTLY SUIT OF CLOTHES.

What the Democratic Times Have
Brought to Jesse w. Fox, Jr.
As the result of Democratic times
Mr.. Jesse w Fox, jr., pays $4,000 for a
suit of clothes. 1t happened in this
way. Mr.. Isaac Jennings was lament
ing over the fact of having sold Oregon
Short Line railway stock and put the
money into real estate, and now the
real estate was not worth 10 per cent
Mr.. Fox said 1 have 1900 of Oregon
Short Line stock in my pocket that I
will sell for a suit of clothes. After
some talk James E. Clinton, who was
in the party. offered to pay for a S15
suit and take the stock. The offer was
accepted, and Clinton got the stock.
This stock before Grover was elected
was worth $500.
On its face that is a very good cam
paign item, but when the facts, as
they are, are, known, it is not nearly
so good an item.
First: The stock never was worth
s.. 500, either before or after Mr.. Cleve-
lands election; in fact. it was never
worth Go, nor anything like it since
Mr.. Cleyeiands election.
Second: Mr. Fox has sought to con-
vey the impression that the stock cost
him $1,000. THE TRUTH OF THE
MATTER Is THAT THOSE TWEEN
TY-sIX SHARES or OREGON
SHORT LINE RAILWAY COST MR..
FOX JUST TWENTY DOL
LARS. And we challenge him to deny
this.
