A SURPRISING DISPLAY.

The sound-money Democrats must have
been surprised at the magnitude of their
street display last night. 1t certainly was
an amazing surprise to the thousands of
people who witnessed the march through
the streets 1t was not struggling, two
rank ten-feet-interval procession, but a
parade of men marching in close ranks of
eight or four men, and men who, under the
glare of the light. showed themselves to
be voters, and voters in earnest.
To those who insist that the sound-money
Democrats are but handful in this city
the display must have been startling rev.
elation. There could not have been less
than 1900, and the 1900 Were Democrats.
If the managers of the sound-money Demo-
cratic cause can put $500 men in line, it
means-well, how many men does 1t mean
in the election booths? Certainly not less
than 5,000
The significance of such demonstration
cannot be misunderstood. 1t means that
the business men and the wage earners of
Indianapolis are united against the silver
mine owners conspiracy as they have
never before been united for or against any
scheme. 1t indicates that in the mart, in
the factory. and wherever men meet, the
Importance of overthrowing Organism and
all for which it stands is held the supreme
duty of the hour. 1t means that men have
| laid aside party names to protect the inter-
ests of the country.
In view of this demonstration and others
that are coming this week the Journal is
warranted in promising the friends of
sound money and of the stability of Ameri-
can institutions in other parts OF Indiana
that if they do as well as Marion county
will do the majority for sound money in
the State will be more thousands than the
widest enthusiast has dared name.
The outpouring of the sound-money De-
mocracy last night is the answer of Demo-
Gratis to Organism as uttered by Bryan
| here a week ago. 1t said to him and his
| followers that having seen and heard him.
| the soCnd-money Democrats are more de-
| termined than ever to brand his professed
Democracy as bogus.

Listen to the Talking Bird.

There's a parrot they call Brs an.
Young Bryan, Bill Bryan,
There's parrot they call Bryan,
With tongue, they say, that never, never tires.
Through all the land a-fiyln,
A-fyn' a-hyin,
Through all the land a-ayin',
Goes this talking bird a-cacklng as he flies.
Chorus-Listen to the talking bird,
Listen to the talking bird
The talking bird that neither sings nor crows.
Listen the talking bird.
Listen to the talking bird.
A-cackling and a-cackling he goes
'Tis easy to remember,
Remember, remember.
IT'S easy to remember
That old cackle always sandwiched with smile.
Well hear it till November
November, November,
Wen have it till November.
Then the talking bird will rest him for awhile.
Chorus-Listen to the talking bird,
Listen to the talking bird.
The talking bird that cackles all the while,
Listen to the talking bird,
Listen to the taIkin. bird.
That measures out his cacke by the mile
Alas! when he has taken.
Has taken, has taken.
Alasl when he has taken
His retreating flight beyond the bounding Platte.
We shall feel forsalSen,
Forsaken, forsaken,
We all shall feel forsaken,
With talking bird a-cackling through his hat.
Chorus-Isten to the talking bird.
Listen to the talking bird,
The talking bird clipper and brave;
Listen to the talking bird.
Listen to the talking bird,
still eackling Ger the Popocradc grave.

A MISLEADING DOCUMENT.


The appeal to labor apparently signed by
the heads of several national labor organ
izations, which Popocratc papers are print
ing in large trype and which is being used
as poster, is ancient affair. The
agents of the silver mine trust, before the
issue came prominently to the FORE secured
the Endorsement of the appeal by several
national meetings. 1t was ten months ago
that the Federation of Labor adopted it.
and then without discussion.
During the past six months intelligent
wage earners have carefully considered the
subject and have concluded from the facts
that free and unlimited coinage OF silver
would be a curse to labor.
Among the names appended to the APP
peal is that of MIR. Arthur the head OF
the railway engineers organization. He
has recently given 1t as his opinion that
free coinage Of silver would work injury
to fhe labor of the country, Only last week
President Gompers, Of the Federation of
.abor, secured the passage of a resolution
n the convention of cigar makers declar-
ing that political action on the part of
that organIzsltion would be unwise. 1t Is

Fine Address of This Celebrated Mas

DR.. Everett spoke, in part as follows:
1T is an extraordinary privilege to be
allowed to speak in this place before "a
club that has selected as its name that of
an honcred son of my own State, a pupil
of mine in his boysh days, who in
the meridian of his powers. at the height
of his popularity and favor was struck
down and felt his noble heart broken by the
the faithless actions of the delegates to the
Chicago convention. (Applause.)
Yes, fellow-citizens, l know 1t better
than many do that William Russell owed
his death to his sense of the ingratitude
and treachery of those from whom ne ex-

Ohio valley his name and his spirit are

Journal entertains a sincere respect for the
honesty and courage of Mr.. Gompers. No
man has done better work to show the
evils of indiscrin1inate immigration than
has Mr.. Gompers. Still, the Journal cam
not forget that four years ago, during the
last presidential campaign, he wrote a
magazine article declaring that it could
make no difference to labor whether pro-
lection or free trade prevailed. That opin-
ion was used extensively by the free trad

The cry about the coercion of employees
by the officers of corporations is made ridic-
ulous by the fact that several employees of
corporations in this city spend their spare
time in going about shouting that they are
for Bryan and that the company dare not
or will not discharge them. The attention
of the president Of a corporation which.
in its operation comes in close contact with
the public, having been called to the rather
offensive display of several Bryanite en-
ployes, said: Yes, these men are faithful
men and this company will keep such"
While such men cannot help the fifty-cent
dollar cause except by their votes. they
are shattering the claim that employees are
being coerced.

A French actress lately come to New
York has sprung something new in the adj
vertising line She saw that the lost dia-
nlond dodge was too old, SO she looked
about for a more certain method of win
ming notice and decided upon-niik She
took milk baths, and necessarily required
large quantities of the fluid. She was par
ticular, also, about having it fresh, and
when it failed to come up to her require
ments in this respect she refused to pay
for it. The dealer thereupon proceeded to
sue her for the price of 800 gallons of milk,
and she is now posing before the Ameri-
can public as an innocent foreigner perse-
cuted by grasping dairyman. She will
doubtless find that as advertising me-
dunn milk is hardly as lasting as diamonds,
but being a novelty it will perhaps repay
the original Investment.

Mr.. Bryan never fails to assail corpora
tions trusts and the rich. Just now his
attempts to prejudice the employees against
the employer and to set the poor against
the rich are the most conspicuous parts of
his speeches. Is it possible that Mr.. Bryan
does not know that he is fighting the cause
of a combine which contains nothing else
but very rich men? Does he not know
that The corporations owning the paying
silver mines constitute the largest amount
of capital owned by the smallest number
of men that can be found in the United
States? Is it not possible for him to under
stand that the intelligent people of this
country know that the shareholders of the
seventy-three mines which produced
$35, 600 coo of silver bullion last year are a
trust to compel the United States to double
it's value as legal-tender money? Does he
not know that the only bitter struggle now
going on between employers and organized
labor is in Leadville in silver mines owned
by the men who are contributing to
his election? If Mr.. Bryan does not know
these facts he is very ignorant man. If
he does not know them and is appealing
TO the people to Suppress corporations and
trusts, he is not honest. If he does not
know that he is the candidate of corpora
tions which have had more bitter struggles
men they employ, than any others, he is
not posted in the details of the conflict be-
tween employers and employees.
