ONE of the most remarkable echoes
in the world is that produced by the
suspension bridge across the Menai
Straits, in Wales. The sound of a blow
with a hammer on one of the main
piers is returned in succession from
each of the crossbeams which support
the roadway; in addition to which the
sound is many times repeated between
the water and the roadway, at the rate
of 2S times in five seconds.

BRYAN'S DEnAGOGlSM.

The chairman of the Chicago re-
ception committee in his address
welcoming Mr.. Bryan Saturday night
in speaking of those who greeted him
that there none among them who
form trusts to control the necessities
of life, said: "There are many honest,
but misguided men, whom we wish
with us, who are still under the ter
rorisms of the public press" What
terrible thing this terrorism of the
press must be. How these men must
glance anxiously around every cor
ner they turn to see if that spook, the
terrorism of the "public press" is
still following them. 1t is something
awful. But the terrorism Of the
"public press" is nothing to the ter
rorism that confronts the wage-earn-
er of the ruin a 50-cent dollar will
bring. And the demagogism of
Bryan was we'll illustrated when in
his reply he said And as l look into
the faces of these people and remem-
Der that our enemies call them mob
and say that they are menace to
free government, ask who shall save
the people from themselves" Mr..
Bryan knew when he uttered these
words that he was uttering false
hood, that the people who confronted
him had never been designated as a
mob. by his political opponents. But
his cause is already desperate; the 80
cent dollar fraud is not working as he
and his managers had hoped toward
landing him in the presidential
chair, and must needs try something
else, and so he resorts to the barest
falsehood in an attempt to stir up
class feeling and incite the poor
against the rich. But it will not
work. The people are aroused to
the principles which are involved,
and the attempt to incite hatred of
class against class, will be buried with
it's instigators in the political grave
from whence there will be no resur-
rection for them.

'NO NATION today has the silver

cause they are weak and helpless to

main on silver basis. But today
the United States, the foremost ma

resources, in intelligence and energy,
is seriously invited to abandon the
standard of civilization and COM
MERGE and to consort with half civil
lized, half clad people, who are weak

commerce; where bull-fghts abound
and schools do not; where human
labor is in sharp competition with the

STRAW VOTES.

Straw votes may not be considered
as being worth much, and so far as
railroad trains are concerned they
may not, yet straws are something
which denote the way the wind is
blowing. A straw vote in a factory
or any place where wage earners are
employed is somewhat significant and
the manner in which these are turn
ing in favor of Mckinley is also
m ost significant. A few days ago at
the Milwaukee shops in Minneapolis
secret vote was taken upon the
money question. 500 were handed in,
and of these 452 were for sound
money. and 26 for silver. The re-
mainder did not express an opinion.
This does not indicate that the wage
earners are being carried away by the
silver craze. One sound money club
of 200 members has been organized by
the men in the car department and
the men in the machine department
will also organize one.
In three of the leading office blocks
in the city of Des Moines a secret
vote was taken last week with the
following result: Mckinley, 1856;
Bryan, 81, Leyering, II; Cleveland, 1;
undecided, 6.
In an establishment in Keokuk,
Iowa, where thirteen of them are en-
ployed, IL of them announced them
selves for sound money some two
weeks ago, and now all of them stand
solid for it, and so il goes. On the
second sober thought the great ma
jorlty of the voters will stand for
sound money and against free coinage
of silver and 50-cent dollar.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-08-14

In his speech at Madison a few
days since Senator Thurston said:
There is no country on the face Of
this earth, I care not where you go,
there is no country that opens it's

but what all kinds of money than sill
yer, and promises to pay in silver,
have fed the land. You cannot 60 in
to country Of this earth where its
minis are open to the free coinage OF

ing among the people. Not only that,
but you cannot go today into any
country on earth that opens it's minis

back, will buy twice as much as the
best dollar that is in the hands of the
people of any of those countries.
To which the Chicago Inter Oceaniin
commenting on says: If this is incor.
rect history, it should be easy for the
Democratic-Populist orators to show
it's falsity. The worlds book of his.
tory is open. But it is simple fact
and tells the whole story in small
space.

OUR neighbor of the Review, now
that the Democratic party proposes
to put up sound money candidate
for president in opposition to the
Chicago Popocrat, assumes to see that
after all it is not the question of cur
rency that is to enter into the cam
paign-but the masses against the
classes-the poor against the rich. If
this be true then where and on which
side will our neighbor fight? For
Free Silver Bryan, controlled by twen-
ty-one bonanza mine owners whose
combined wealth aggregates over five
hundred million dollars, or for the
laboring men in the mill or factory
who are shouting for Mckinley and
prosperity? Will the Revieao kindly
tell patient public on which side it
is getting ready to drop, now that it
assumes that the 50-cent dollar has
been knocked out in the first round.

help, giving them just double the
number they would of American dol
lars. The lesson from this is most
convincing one, and it is also one the
Populists do not relish, and it is
said they will take legal steps if
possible to stop it. In other words
they will employ legal force, if they
can to stop the use of the deprecated
dollars, but if by any hook or crook
they should happen to be successful
in November they will pass legal
measures to force such deprecated
coins upon the people, and instead of
two for dollar as now, use but one.
But the mischief has already been
done, and the eyes of the wage earn
ers have been opened to the fact by
this object lesson that free minted
dollar is worth but so cents, and that
if it is made to pass for a dollar
everything else will be made to in
crease accordingly.

The silver mOnOmetallists claim
that the alleged crime of 1873 as being
most harmful to the interests of this
country. The Chicago Inter Ocean
quotes few statistics to show the
extent this harm has been wrought
and how the people would like to have
it continued indefinitely. 1t says:
The statistics show that in 1870 there
was 81, 70O,O 100000 invested in manu-
features in the United States; in 1890
this sum had increased to Sc, 100000
900. In 1870 the number of employees
in these establishments was 2,OOO,-
900; in 1890 it was 100000. The
amount of wages paid to these bread
winners in 1870 was S620,O0O 900, an
average of 1910 per annum per head
