No EScane from This.

Mr.. Bryan quotes against ex-presi-
dent Harrison report of his secretary
of agriculture. Rusk, as follows:
that the rise in the price of silver lin 1890
raised the prices of farmers products.
The JOURNAL would prefer to believe
that if there was any relation between
the two rises at all, that of farmers
products raised the price of silver
that the rise of silver was, in fact, no
more nor less than a side expression of
what had happened to farm products.
A more rational way of accounting
for higher prices for farm products is
the coincident fact that there have
been crop failures at home or abroad,
especially abroad.
Indeed, SO far as known among
philosophers of the literal school,
economists of the rigid caste and states
men of the strictly constructive type,
this is the only way.
In order, therefore, for Mr.. Bryan's
"rlse of silver" to get its work in on a
rise of our farming product prices, it
must first produce crop failures at
home or abroad, or wherever they
will do the most good

Why He Lets the Tariff Alone.

Some of Mr.. Bryan's partisans have
called the JOURNAL to account for
charging him with the authorship of
an editorial which appeared in the
Omaha Wor1d-Herald of July 81, 1898.
The point is we'll taken, for Mr.
Bryan was in Congress at that time.
The JOURNAL, however, copied the
quotations from another paper and,
assuming them to be genuine, com
mented accordingly.
But Mr.. Bryan's establishment of an
ali6i in this case will not help him in
another that we will cite.
He now declares in substance that
the fall in the price of silver is the cause
of the fall in the prices of other commodities,
especially farm products.
Indeed he and his partisans, after
nearly % years CROPPING in these low
grounds of sorrow. suddenly ascertain
that ''the crime of 49, is what did the
business.
This is evident from a speech made
by Mr.. Bryan in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the 18th day of January,
1891, when he showed beyond shadow
of doubt that it was the Mckinley Act.
and not falling silver, which caused
the hard times.
Moreover, he was there for low
prices, especially for cheap clothing.
He said:
| am for free wool in order that the vast
majority of people who do not raise sheep,
but who do need warm clothing to protect
them from the blasts Of winter may have
Their clothing cheaper,
Now he wants 'the vast majority
who need warm clothing
to pay more for 1t or correspondingly
freeze.
AS shown elsewhere in this paper,
he believes noao that the fall in the
price of silver dragged the prices of
farm products down, and, per contra, If
the price of silver is raised by law that
the same law. directly impractlcable,
will indirectly raise the price of every
thing else.
But then he said
The high price of certain agricultural pro-
ducts, as every one knows, was due TO the
short crops abroad.
Mr.. Bryan Is not only indefenslbly
Inconsistent, for he argued and voted
or the low prices of which he now

An Incaut,ous Admission,

Walter Wellman writes the follow
ing incident to the Chicago Times
Herald:
When Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan returned to
their home from the Chicago convention a
large number of their neighbors, of both
sexes and both parties went to the railway
station to meet them and give them welcome
home. Upon greeting Mrs. Bryan one of the
party, the wife of well known Lincoln
lawyer, asked
What is going to be the chief issue of the
campaign, Mrs. Bryan?
The wife of the popocratic candidate replied
without moments hesitation:
Capital against labor.
Mrs. Bryan was obviously more can
did than discreet.
But both the tone and complexion of
Mr.. Bryan's performances on the
stump bear out her prospectus.
Indeed, his campaign looks much
like a William B. Wilson crusade on a
national scale.
1t will be easy to see, therefore,
should he be elected, that not only
will the monetary standard be pulled
down, but the divine right of Debsism
will be indicated.

An Educational Observation.

The State of Alabama is out of
school money and $l27,0 900 in debt to
the teachers.
The governor tried to borrow enough
to pay them, but nobody will loan
l00-cent dollars to State that expects
10 vote for fluctuatng standard.
Looks, too, like the teachers down
there are getting some left-handed aid
from thelr brothers in this part of the
educational vineyard.
Indeed, it appears that while the
colleges and universities are declaring
for the gold standard, the common,
uncommon and few high schools are
not ouly going fatfooted the other
way, but are working for the destruc-
ton of what is the base of all money
as we'll as of numbers, the unit.
How true it seems to be that the less
learning man has the less he has to
unlearn.

A Colossal Error.

In his address to the visiting West
Virginans Maj. Mckinley said
do not believe there are many men in
this country, no matter what they have
thought in the past, who will not now say
that free trade, or so-called tariff reform, has
proven by the experience of the past four
years to be a signal and disastrous failure
1t has failed, utterly failed in every prophecy,
promise and expectation.
1t is almost Imaginable to hear the
German Act spoken of as free trade
or so called tariff reform measure.
For, excepting the Majors own Act,
the German measure is the highest
tariff law ever enacted in this country.
If our experience" under 1t is, there
fore, proof of ga signal and disastrous
failure it is also proof of the de-
structive nature of McKinleyism.
But the Major gets his foot in
deeper. His -four years" includes
very nearly two years of operation
uader his oacn act! That is to say. our
''signal and disastrous failure" began
nearly two years before ''the free trade
or SO called tariff reform" measure had
u chance to fail !
1t is a terrific error for Mckinley to
talk of the tariff at all.
To say things of it that will not
stand the seareh-light of analysis is
yet worse.
He is driving away votes which, at
this writing, it seems certain he can
not do without, and imperiling a cause
which overshadows the tariff by as
much as the inter ests of seventy mil
lions overreach his own.

From Adam to Watson.

The newspaper that is attempting to
prove that "populism has existed in
this country in some form or other for
100 years" is treading beaten ground.
The same thing can be said of tramp
hood, mendicancy, burglary, and of
other aggressive and oppressive pc
culiarities developed by caste pre-
disposition to get something that has
not been earned.
Populism is even older than 10C
years-much older. Itruled the jungle
for centuries and was rife even in the
first human family.

"A Danger Invited.

Let us see:
If the costs of living go up, as Mr..
Bryan proposes, and the rates of wages
do not go up, will not the workingman
lose in proportion to his increased
costs of livingP
He certainly will.
But suppose his wages are marked
up correspondingly-a very improb-
able contingency, how much will he
make by the horizontal increase
Not a cent.
Now, then, these two questions CON-
prise the law, gospel and revelations
of free coinage.
In one of the two cases the least that
can happen to the workingman under
a free coinage dispensation is ma
terial loss of wages in the increased
cost of living.
In the other the most that can hap.
pen to him is a change which brings
him no advantage whatever.
What, then, is there in free coinage
to compensate workingman for vot-
ing for pulling down the current

Incorporate Redundancy

The proof Is circumstantial only,
and the Baltimore Neps af1irms that

Moreover, it is question whether
any proof is needed to establish the
fact that ''numskull' is "egotistical."
The law is very strictly prohibitive of
the use Of superfuous terms, and the
Times ought not to set out to prove too
much.
If a man jokingly says that free silver
means that it will be dished out free or sown
