The case of Kelly, executor, VS.. Brown
ing, decided today, is a suit involving the
East and West railroad. The appelees,
Brownings, filed bill to have trust
declared in the property which was pur-
chased at a foreclosure sale by the late
Eugene Kelly of New York, under an
agreement made in 1883; the suit was re-
vived against his executors after Mr..
Kelly's death. Demurrers were inter-
posed to the bill, which were over
ruled by the chancellor, and the appeal
was from this decision. The principal
question in the case was whether an issue
of $3.50, 000 of receivers certificates which
were held by Mr.. Kelly was a prior lien
on the property. The supreme court af-
firms the decision of the chancellor on the
demurrer, but declares that the receivers
certificates are q first and prior lien on
the property which the executors of Kelly
may assert.

A correspondent in Winchester, who is

named. calls attention to the following ut
terance in the speech delivered at Knowles

The PRONUNCIATION of the gold standard is
sides and you have as much right TO resist
IL as to resist an army marching TO take
your children captive and burn the roof
over your head.
Commenting on the foregoing quotation
from the Bryan speech. the Winchester
correspondent says:
What rights would a man have II an army
were marching to take his children captive
would have the right to defend his children
and his home. This right is the law of in
stinct and is a recognized right in every
country under the sun. And in such a de-
fense man may shoot and shoot to kill,
or use any deadly weapon with which he

one who is opposed to the gold standard has
the right TO shoot or kill any other person
standard. He has the same right to do this
he would have to defend his children or his
home. But this is not surprising. as 1t is
only in keeping with the Chicago platform
on which Mr. Bryan is running, and he has
been careful TO repeat recently that he is in
favor of every word of the platform. 1t is
no misnomer to call Mr.. Bryan an An
archist.
The words of the Popocratic candidate
can bear no other Interpretation than that
which is given above. They contain no con-
tingency which will enable his adroit de-
tenders to offer an explanation which can
lessen the enormity of the Bryan declara-
ton. 1t is more than a threat to over
throw the government should those who
favor sound money carry the election; It
is declaration to the effect that men who
appear to promulgate' or advocate the
| gold standard may be resisted and silenced
| by force. No Anarchist has ever more
| boldly advocated violence to overthrow law
and order than has Mr.. Bryan in this ad-
| vice which he gave to the thousands who
| listened to him in Knowlesville N. Y.
| 1t may be urged in extenuation of the dec
laration quoted that Mr.. Bryan does not
| mean it-that he is unfortunate in his Ian
guage. Il such an excuse is made for him,
those who make it confess that he is a
thoughtless babbler-a veritable blather-
| slSite.

A DECLINE IN SILVER.

Silver bullion. which was well UP toward
20 cents an ounce two weeks ago, has
gradually fallen the past ten days to 6e,s
cents on Saturday. Mr.. Bryan's attention
should be called to this last decline in the
white metal; he will doubtless charge it
upon the crime of 1879 rather than upon
the overproduction caused by the introduce
ton of machinery into the silver mining
industry. Prior TO the Democratic national
convention bar silver was quoted in Lon
don at 81 pence an ounce, or LITTLE over
ca cents. When it was known that the
Chicago convention would be controlled by
the silver Ieople. spectators borrowed
money with which they purchased silver
bullion and awaited a. rise. 1t did rise for
time, but not to the extent that the pur
chasers expected. Soon silver bullion came
to standstill and the gentlemen who
thought to make a good thing found them
selves embarrassed with, heavy stocks Of
white metal and the interest on the loans
with which it was purchased. Consequent
ly. they began to put their bullion upon
the market, which caused the present de-
cline. When the American operators shall
have unloaded prices may recover a little,
but the decline in the face of the cam
paign for the free coinage of silver indi-
Gates that among the large body of men
who are of a speculative turn there Is
not any general confidence in the success
of Mr.. Bryan. II there was such conf
dence. silver bullion would certainly rise
considerably above the present figures and
rise continually until the election. The
truth is, spectators see no chances worth
taking based upon the election of William
j. Bryan.
In that connection. it may be noted that
the intrinsic value of our silver dollar has
fallen from 53 TO 81 cents. If We were on a
silver basis, the silver dollar which would
measure values would now have per cent.
less purchasing power than it had three
weeks ago. If it were applied to yard
stick it would now be little over 34l.

GERMAN-AMERICAN AND PROSPER
ITY


Mr.. McKinley's speech to visiting dele
cation of German-Americans was an eio-
auent tribute TO their patriotism. and his
portraiture of their many good qualities
as citizens was none too strongly drawn.
1t is true, as he said. that in every crisis
German-Americans as a class have stood
for the financial honor and integrity of
the government. opposing imitation and re-
pudation in whatever form they have pre-
sented themselves.
There is reason TO believe that the in
stinctive love of German-Americans for
honest finance and sound money will lead
them to espouse the right side in the pres
ent contest. but there is another reason
why they should do so. AS believers in
whatever contributes TO material prosper
ity and increases the opportunities OF MAX
ing money. German-Americans should be in
favor of protection. This policy has been
tried in Germany as well the United
States. and in both countries with equally
good results. The experience Of this coun-
try has demonstrated conclusively that
protection and prosperity are synonymous.
trade or low tariff brings business disaster.
II there was any doubt about it before the
object lesson of the .ast few years has
removed it. 1t only needs to be studied.
But If any German prefers TO profit from
the experience of the fatherland he can
have the same lesson there. Germany was
never as prosperous as it is at present
a marked subsistence OF social unrest and
discomfort among the working classes in
that country. There are fewer labor
strikes there than in any other great in
dustrial country; the relations between en-
ployers and employed are more cordial and
amicable; there is less friction between
capital and labor and a more widespread
feeling of contentment. Oiner causes may
have contributed to this result, but pro-
lection is the chief one. During the eight
years which followed the establishment OF
the empire Germany languished under free
trade. The adoption Of protection marked
the beginning of an era Of industrial pros
perity the most remarkable in the modern
history of Europe. In the last fifteen years
Germany has become cnanged country.
Protection has increased and multiplied the
facilities for making a livelihood. 1t has
diversified industries and widened the
range of employment. 1t has raised the
standard of labor and impaired an upward
tendency to wages. 1t has converted Ger
many into one of the busiest modern in
dustrial hives. 1t has brought great ex-
tension of her foreign trade and made her
the chief competitor of England in the
markets of the world. policy which has
done SO much for the land of their birth
and the land of their adoption has double
claims for the support Of German-Amer-
leans With protection and sound money
or as Mr. Mckinley puts It, IAN honest
| dollar and a chance to earn 1T, we may
| expect a return of prosperity, and when
| il comes no one need doubt that our Ger
| man citizens will get their share of il.
