Jugglers with the National Credit.
CHAUNCEY DEPEw.

Bryan and Sewall and Watson pro-
claim a revolution. These jugglers with
the national faith and national credit

and employment. are recklcssly cndeay-
oring to precipitate one of those crises
and wages are ineXtricably involved
The right Of revolution is divine, but it
must have supreme justification. Under
our constitutions and institutions and
laws as they exist there is before us
in the promises of the Populistic leaders
nothing but an invitation to embark
upon that sea of reputation and dishon-
or which has wrecked every nation and
every people that ever embarked upon
it. This revolution promises to destroy
the Supreme court, to prevent the issue
of bonds and the use of the credit Of
the country for any purpose. to dcbase

They saw the horrors of the French
revolution, and they made up their minds
to guard their country against the ex-
cesses of temporary madness. They
created the executive and the legislat tive

them subject to frequent submission to
the will and judgment of the people. but
they enacted written constitution I'M

You have overleaped the boundaries of

from the precedents of liberty behind
them that the judiciary can always be
trusted. There are two places under
our constitution where neither wealth
nor power gives any advantage to the
individual. where the richest and the
poorest. the most exalted and the hum

ballot box and the other the court. And

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Is the story true that thousands Of
laboring men are wearing Mckinley but
tons who intend to vote for Bryan? We
rather guess not. The laboring man 10
not that sort of hypocrite, IL we cor
rectly estimate him. and it is an insult to
him to say otherwise.
Mr.. Mckinley said: Good money
never made hard times" Mr.. Bryan
said: "Money can be too good" Will
the people of this country have difficulty
In determining which Is right?
Among the best speeches being made
in this campaign are those coming from
that little two-story porch at Canton.
II requires no argument to see why
Bryan and his followers do not want to
talk about protection.
II Is the mills and not the minis that
millions of workers want opened. Stop
the wheels In the head and let the wheels
in the machine shops 90 around.
The most pressing money question 10
that of wages for the people and rev.
enue for the government.
Bryan Is now being called the business
killer. He meanders through the Enst
making silver speeches and the mills and
factories close in his wake.
After reading Bryan's wool record In
Congress the farmer who votes for him
must either have forgiving disposition
or in his wits be on the wrong side Of
the non compos mentis boundary line.
A farmers illustration of the J0-cent
silver dollar is that II would be like offer
ing for sale calf labeled This 10
twins" and demanding double price for
II. And still some people pretend to
think that farmers arc not watching pub
lie affairs.

ABOU BILL BRYAN.

Abou Bill Bryan. may his tribe decrease!

And saw within the moonlight OF his room,

And to the presence In the room he said:

"And am ! one?' asked Abou. 81 don't

Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low.
But cheerily still, and said, II pray thees

Write me as one not liable to err"
The angel wrote and vanished. The next
night
1t came again with a great November light.

Bryan for Fiat Money.


EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER.
Mr.: Bryan Mt heart cares nothing for
the free coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan
Is frst and last believer In fiat money.
and he Is only using the free coinage
OF silver to arrive Mt that finally. This
Is serious charge to make, but il
cannot prove Il l will apologize publicly
for 1t.
In the September number of the Arena
Just last month-there Is an article ON
the currency by Mr.. Bryan, in which
he criticises Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds In time of peace, and espe-
cially for selling them to syndicate.
He says: when the United States,
without waiting for the aid or consent
OF any other nation, opens its mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
~ to it will bring real relief to it's peo-
pie, and will lead the way to the restora-
ton of bimetallism throughout the world
Ii will then be prepared to perfect its
financial system by furnishing paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties and sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. Its paper
money will not be loaned then to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government, 80 that all may receive
the benefits
This is fiat money, pure and simple.
MIR. Bryan proposes to stop taxation and
pay the expenses of the government by
printing fiat money. This government
once launched upon that boundless sea
would as certainly fall and go down as
did the French republic. which was set
up at the close of the last century by
lot of theorists and rcvolutionists
They issued during few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fiat money
called assignats and mandats. They
gave a legal-tender quality to it, but
while 1t could pay debts they could
not compel people to take it in pur-
chase In other words. they could give
legal-tender quality to the money. but
they could not give purchasing power
to II. From day to day il was issued,
until finally it all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not single franc of it was
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
| who had parted with their property
for it We're rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was valueless.
Shall this be u lesson to us? And
can we contemplate the probability of
| putting into power as President of the
| United States man who holds such
| views? In my humble opinion there is
but one way to bring us back to prosper
| ity and to the path of progress, and that
| is to return to the system of admins
| tration which has been of such great
benefit to us in the past. and to follow
| in that path to follow the lamp of ex-
perience. To do that every true. honest
| American citizen. without distinction of
party. should unite in this attempt at
restoration. and should by an ovcrwhelm-
| ing ma jority stamp out now and forever
the heresy and the folly of n cheap and
debased currency.

An Assault on the National Govern
ment.
DON NJ. DICKINSON.

Let us see what confronts us. What
is this free government that we hear
about from the rostrum only occasion
ally on the Fourth of July and gala
days? But Il word about this funda-
mental expression. Up to the estab-
lishment of the American government,
governments had failed on the face of
the earth for the object for which gov
ernments are formed.
The theory Is that this Is the best
government and the only free govern
ment which achieves for the people
the largest amount of happiness. com
fort and prosperity for the greatest
number. Now, they had tried emper-
ors. lodging absolute power of lcgisla.
ton. the execution of laws, and all
Judgment upon laws in one man, and
Il failed; the people were oppressed
and made serfs. They tried then oil
rnrchy, n government of many men:
Il failed for the purposes for which II
was founded; so that all monarchy and
ali systems and every republic in the
world had failed when our fathers
formed the United States of America
and gave us place in the family OF
nations. (Applause.) :,
What was the peculiar part OF the
vovernment which promises permanency,
wh;ch promises n republican or demo.
cratic form of government, that could
live? 1t was this: We established q
legislature to make laws, congress; we
limited the powers of that legislature by
4 written constitution-thus far' MT

they went on. think, to the amount of
$4,000, 100000, and finally the whole
structure collapsed. The government
would not take them. the paper became
absolutely worthless. and when that pa
per became worthless it was found not
in the hands of the spectators: no, it
was found in the hands of the manu-
facturers, of the business men, of the
workingmen OF France. 1t was on them
that the loss fell because they had eX-
changed their labor and their earnings
for this worthless paper. That is the
history of all attempts to jugglc with the
currency. The loss lands always in the
same place. and we can form no ex-
ception to the great natural laws.

Labor Needs an Unvarying and Re-
liable Currency.
FRANK S. BLACK. CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK,


"No mans labor of yesterday or last
gear can he preserved, except by some
representative or token of it, and money
is the almost universally adopted agent
for that purpose. Nothing in the world
should be SO anxious as labor that the
token which represents it should be un-
varying and reliable. Who can
preserve until tomorrow the labor of to-
day? 1t cannot be done, and the only
means of securing its benefits is to re-
ceive and preserve some token which
shall stand in its stead and which may
be used as future needs may require"
And further on the speaker said: IF a
man is robbed, 1t is a crime and he may
have redress. If bank fails and pays
him only So cents on the dollar, 1t Is n
misfortune, and he is not yet without
hope of recovery. But If he votes away
AZ cents of every dollar, it is his own
fault. and he has nothing to condemn
but his own folly, which will remain
with him much longer than his money"
