BRYAN's ENEMIES"

Referring to advocates of honest money
in general and the Republican party in
particular Mr.. Bryan informed one of his
wayside audiences the other day that "the
enemy with whom we are fighting in this
campaign is an enemy who has never gone
into an open battle. The advocates of
gold standard have never dared to submit
the gold standard to the arbitrament of
ballot" Strictly speaking that is true, for
there never has been a gold-standard
party in this country, although the Ma
tional Democratic party is practically so,
but Mr.. BRYAN was, as we have said, re-
ferring to the Republican party and those
of other parties who are standing up for
honest money.
If the Republican victory in Vermont
did not satisfy Mr.. Bryan that the
"enemy" Is pretty well equipped and
ready for battle, the returns from Maine
should at least convince him that the army
of honest money and prosperity can put
up a pretty good outpost fight.
The people of the United States are not
afraid to fight for their convictions, and
they dare submit whatever they advocate
10 the arbitrament of the ballot. More
over. only Mr.. Bryan looks upon politi-
cal opponent as an enemy" and If he
really doubts the friendship of the Ameri-
can people for Americans, let him go to
Maine. He would be as warmly received
there as IN Arkansas, but he would find
the people ready to vote against him,
though they would do it in the most
friendly way. This is nation of friends,
as Nh. Bryan should know.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The dispatches of yesterday giving the
exact returns of the Maine election far
exceeded the hopes and expectations of
the day before. The confident prediction
that Maine would roll up decisive ma
jority for the Republican State ticket has
been more than justified and the result
has indicated to the whole country the
action of New England in the National
elections of November next.
1t is vain and idle undertaking for the
Democrats to lessen or explain away the
seriousness of the blow which the party of
Bryan and Sewall has received in Maine.
The hope that Mr.. Sewall's popularity in
his native State would avail to change the
convictions of the people of Maine has
been rudely shattered. The claim that
there was ground swell of sentiment in
favor of free silver throughout the Eastern
States, which would manifest itself at the
Maine election has been shown to be
utterly false.
The political insanity which dominated
the Chicago convention and compelled the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall has been
made plain to the people of the whole
country by the increased majority in Mr..
SewalPs own State. That the whole of
New England and all of the Middle States
will go Republican in November is already
an assured fact, and that the great central
and northern States of the West will follow
the example which Maine and Vermont
have nobly set there is little room to doubt
While Democracy and Populism are
engaged in various parts of the country
in struggle to see which will succeed in
swallowing the other, the Republican
party is rolling up victory upon victory in
those populous States whose electoral
votes will count for most next November
Republicans all over the country may
well regard with hope and pride the
sweeping victory in NJ inc, ana see in
it the swell of a mighty billow, which.
rising upon the far-off coasts of New Eng
Land, will sweep over the whole country
and engulf the shattered ships of the
Bryan Democracy in its resistless course.

certainly disturb the monetary system of
the country very seriously.
There probably never was time when
the people as whole had so much occa-
sion to study the problem of cause and
effect in the channels of trade and in the
systems of money coinage as now, and if
this new club shall be the means of giving
the people information that can be relied
upon great good will be accomplished.
Nevertheless the fact remains that the
greater question is the one of opening the
doors of our industries so that labor may
have employment at just wages. Labor
is more interested in that which will give
it opportunity to earn money than in
propositions to change our monetary
system

MKINLEY AND W0OL-GROWBRS.

One of the most interesting speeches
Major Mckinley has MADE to visiting
delegations was delivered before 1000
farmers from the sheep-growing district
of Ohio last Monday. 1t abounded in
statistical information which not only in
terests those engaged in the wool industry
but those in other business enterprises,
for there is an intimate relation existing
between all occupations in this country.
Major Mckinley has been conspicuous
champion of the industries and wage
earners of the United States from his
youth up, we might say, and when occa-
sion requires him to enter largely into the
question of protection to the interests of
his countrymen he becomes decidedly in
teresting, so familiar with the subject is
he.
Referring to the Importance of the sheep
industry to the whole country, Major Nc
Kinley said that sin 1892 there were 700
900 wool-growers in the United States
700, 900 people whose chief occupation was
that of wool-growing. There were prob
ably oue-fourth as many more who were
owners of small focks of sheep in the
United States. This industry employed
besides those who owned the hocks, it is
estimated, at least 100000 Iaborers, repre-
senting, with those who were dependent
upon them, nearly 2, 500, 600 people In Ore
gon, Utah, Washington, Idaho and West
ern Montana there were 6,710, TAG sheep
which were worth in 1892 $13, 40, 900. and
which in 1896 were worth only S. 710, 000
In 1892 we had 47.273, 553 sheep in the
United States, valued at $125, 0O0, 900. In
1895 we had IS, 29S, 600, valued at $65, OO0,-
OOO."
Such shrinkage of values in any in
dustry would be hard to bear were it to
come from natural causes, bat when it
comes of laws deliberately enacted to ac-
complish that very thing it would seem
that there was plenty of reason why the
people should be aroused-why they should
earnestly resolve to right the great wrong.
It is not surprising, therefore, that 1000
representative wool-growers of the coun-
try should journey ali the way to Canton
to hear Major Mckinley tell them how,
if he is elected. he will lift this great in
dustry out of the mire of bankruptcy and
place it upon the solid ground of pros
perity.
But Major Mckinley is not pledged to
right the wrongs that free trade has in
fiicted upon sheep-ralsers and neglect
other interests that have been crippled by
the Wilson act. His policy contemplates
the restoration of all lines of business and
trade to where they were before they were
driven to thVwall by Democratic blunder-
ing. The sheep industry is one among a
thousand business enterprises that need TO
have protection against an unnatural and
ruinous competition, and Major McKin-
ley is pledged to see that all interests have
their rights. But of all the various EN-
terprises and interests that will call his at.
tention the cause of labor will be first and
foremost. Major Mckinley will not be
satisfied until every wage-earner has all
the opportunity he wants to employ his
skill and muscle at wages that shall amply
remunerate him.

BEET SUGAR.
EFFECT OF FREE TRADE ON A YOUNG AMERICA,
INDUSTRY.

EFFECT OF FREE TRADE ON YOUNG AMERICAN
INDUSTRY.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
There are certain facts relative to beet sugar
that cannot be overcome. The first is that
while the imports of cane sugar to Great Brit
ain have undergone decrease in the eleven
years between and including 1S84-S5 and
le94-95 the imports Of beet sugar have in
creased. In 16e4-S5 the total imports of cane
sugar to the United Kingdom were $4,000
tons, in 1S94-95 they were $4,000 tons. In
leS4-S5 the imports of refined foreign sugar
mostly beet) and raw beet sugar were 7o7. 700
tons, and in 1694-95 they were 1,275.0OO tons
The statistics of the United States are not so
precise in their classification of imported sugar
as are those OF Great Britain, but from the sta
ttstical abstract for 1895 we learn that during
three years, 1892, 1893 and 1894, in which,
by provision of the Mckinley tariff, bounty
was paid on all American sugar, as in Ger
many it is paid on al home beet sugar
the German climate being too rigorous for the
cultivation OF sugar cane-the increase OF
sugar products stood thus: Amount of cane
sugar on which bounty was paid in 1892.
367, 1852 s3O6 pounds; amount on which bounty
was paid In 1894, GIL, 156, 922 pounds; thus
nearly doubling production in three wears

when the total output was but 287, 400 III.
But the effect upon the beet-sugar industry
was still more remarkable. for in 1897 boun-
ties were paid OH 1900, 1873 pounds, and in
1895 on 10 191. 1856. 1t seems scandalous that
a measure that nearly quadrupled the output
of so promising an infant industry was re-
healed. The effect of repeal was instanta-
neous: the output of beet sugar fell to 4O5,-
236 pounds in 1895, taking the bounty tables
of the statistical abstract as authority.
Rut though criminally stupid policy has
diminished the production of American beet
sugar. the use OF the foreign article increases
In 1883 no more than 1910 tons OF beet sugar
we're i'm ported; three years later the imports
were $500 tons; four years later they were
800 tons; in the next year they more than
doubled themselves, and showed us 1000
