WAVE OLD GLORY ON OCT. 81.

One does not have to go very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this cam
paign. 1t can be found In the Chicago
platform. The spontaneity of It's selec-
ton as the appropriate badge of sound
money champions is wonderfully sig
nifcant. There seems to have been
little inclination on the part of Mr..
Bryan's followers to question the right
Of the advocates Of sound money and
protection to display the national col
ors as the proper insignia of their
cause. The only lamentation heard was
the Altgeldian wall, which is always
expected when the stars and stripes
are flung to the breeze.
The rivalry as to who could make
the most lavish display of the national
emblem has been confined to the ranks
of the supporters Of Mckinley. There
has been no perceptible effort on the
part of the popocrats to wrest 1t from
those who are fighting to maintain the
national credit. There seems to be gen.
eral assent to the proposition that the
flag does not go with the Chicago plat
form.
This tacit recognition Of the fact that
the flag is the one suitable emblem Of
the issues for which one party is con-
tending is something new In our Amer
lean politics. Heretofore there has been
a patriotic rivalry between the Repub-
llcans and the Democrats In our ma
tional campaigns as to which side
could make the most profuse display
Of the stars and stripes. 1t Is circum-
stance which will mean much to loyal
friends of the government and will
be a potential factor at the polls In Mo-
vember.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han
ma of the national committee suggests
that Oct. 81, the Saturday before elec-
ton, be observed as flag day" in ev-
cry city and town, on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money and national prosperity shall
display the national colors from his
home and his place Of business. The
suggestion Is a most commendable one
and should meet with an enthusiastic
response all over the nation.
Let every man who intends to vote
for the preservation of our national
honor signify his patriotic intention by
displaying a flag on Saturday, Oct, 81,

LIKE LOVES LIKE.

II you want to know what sort OF
people most sincerely admire Bryan. to
what sort of people his speeches es-
pecially appeal, to what sort of people
he persistently addresses his incendlary
gable, read the following extracts from
letters written by typical Bryanites to
New York clergyman, Rev. DR..
Robert Macarthur.
One man writes; II would rather
vote to injure myself II am sure that
the rich will be injured more than l
will"
Another writes; I'VE want French
revolution In this country and Robe
spierre and our streets In every city
In the country will flow with blood
We will see that this happens If the
Republican party wins"
Another: Many are looking for the
second coming Of Christ In this country.
I am among these. I know who He IL
and He has come His name Is William
Jennings Bryan and he is the second
Messiah. He 1t Is to whom we have
prayed. He will break down the yoke
Of the oppressor"
To men capable Of conceivlng such
thoughts az are expressed in these let
tiers Bryan especially appeals; every
such a man, even the Third Monarchy
man who wrote the letter from which
the last quoted extract was taken, finds
much in Bryan's speeches In full ac-
cord with his peculiar ideas; and It
Is to Just such men that Bryan con-
stantly addresses himself. He thinks
that they are "the people" and he
seems to be in full sympathy with
them. No presidential candidate before
him ever made such efforts to concillate
the lunatic vote. the crank vote, the
anarchist vote, and no presidential can
didate before was ever 30 enthusiast

Jefferson, jackson and Benton Were fOf
. Gold Standard.
Jefferson, in 1888, wrote: "Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
the market price Of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
pally be connected in commerrce and to
take an average from them. l very
much doubt a right now to change the
value, and especially to lessen IT."
The house committee In 1921, report
ed: ut Is sufficient to know, by un-
happy experience, that its (ratlo OF fl.
teen TO one) tendency Is to rid us of a
gold currency and leave us nothing but
silver"
The house committee In 1884, report
ed. 1.-THE desileratum in the monetary
system Is q standard of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and Unfortunately In
any country where there are banks or
money dealers, and we entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach to
IN invah1able standard is its establish
memt In one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the currency for
large payments
Andrew jackson, in 1896, wrote'
"There is no fraud in gold 1t Is un-
changeable and will do its office every
where and at all times. Labor imparts
an invariable value to It,"
Benton, in 1894, said in debate: ut
(goldD has an intrinsic value, which
gives 1t currency all over the world to
the full amount of that value WITHOUT
regard to law or circumstances. 1t has
o uniformity Of value which makes it
the safest standard of value Of property
which the wisdom Of man has yet dis
covered. Its superiority over adj other
money gives its possessor the choice
and command OF all other money"
Following this debate the act called
the administration gold BILL in
tended to put the country on single
gold standard, was passed, las to So in
the house and IS to 7 in the senate, and
signed by Andrew Jackson, president.
The house committee, in 1853, report
cd: Gold is the only standard Of value
by which all property is now measured.
1t is virtually the only currency Of the
country. We desire to have the standard
currency to consist of gold only, and
that these silver coins shall be entirely
subservient to it, and that they shall be
used rather as tokens than as standard
coins"

COSTLY REIMBURSEMENT.

When Bryan and his free silver fol-
lowers talk about raising prices by
cheapening the dollar, they try to mis-
lead the people into believing that ev-
srythine would rise In price uniformly
and that all the farmer or merchant
would have to do to adjust himself to
changed conditions would be to mark
up his produce or wares by say 80. 30
or 100 per cent. But no one who will
take the trouble to reflect upon actual
facts Will for moment imagine that
depreciating the currency would result
In Uniform rise In prices. No intelli-
gent person will contend that the fall
In prices has been uniform. On the
contrary. some articles which have
been directly affected by new Inventions
and Improved Industrial processes sold
only few years ago for four and five
times what they now bring, while 9TH
er commodities which are produced
solely by hand labor have had q sta
tionay market.
Reduce the country to a silver basis
and a greater inequality In price move
ments would be manifest. Suppose we
were given a 50-cent dollar tomorrow,
what would be the result? Imported
articles which must be paid for at
gold prices would. Of course, rise 1t
least 100 per cent. But would all articles
and services experience the same ad-
vance? Not at all.
Would free coinage place the lawyer
In position to double his fees? Would
1t enable the physician to charge for
one visit what he now gets for two?
Would It give the clergyman double
wedding fees?
Would free silver fill the theaters at
prices twice what are charged for seats
today? Would 1t increase the subscrip-
lions to charitable enterprises? Would
1t double the contributions offered In
church?
Could the street railway company In
crease its fare from cents to 10 cents
II the silver standard were introduced? |
II 1t did, would 1t not destroy Its traffic
by forcing people to walk? Would
doubling Its fares mean doubling its
receipts or would It not mean reducing
Its income?
Would free silver enable cigar deal
ers to raise the price Of cigars to the |
full extent Of the currency deprecia-
stion? II 20 cents were demanded for
q cigar that now sells for 10 cents.
would the smoker not reduce his daily |
consumption Of cigars?
Could the druggist get more than
cents for the usual glass Of soda Just
because the country had gone to sill
yer basis? Or would not raising the
price prove ruinous to his trade?
Could the gas company charge more
for Illuminating gas under free coin
age regime to make up for the in
creased cost Of the materials 1t con-
sumes? Is 1t not on the contrary
limited by law IN the charges 1t may
exact, and even II 1t were free to
fix prices as 1t would, would not in
creased gas bills force people 70
economize on light?
Would the butcher. the baker, the
grocer be able to mark everything In

THAT NOV. Is, 1892, LIE.

Following is sneaked into a dark
corner of the bankers organ at Salem,
by one E. ]. Clark, of Dale Creek, Or:
Please print what Bryan has to say
about the old soldiers, taken from the
WOrld-Herald, November 18, 1892:
"The next session Of congress Will
have to wreStle with one deficiency of
S36, 900, 900. This appropriation for
pensions for the next year must not
be less s 50,0O0,000. 1t IS therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the
appropriation that congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than $lS6, 100000.
"This tremendous sum would in
itself be enough to run reasonable
government. One would not complain
were it an honest debt, but large
proportion is not debt, because it was
never earned by any act of patriotism
or heroic service. The government is
held up and despoiled of no mean por-
tion of this, and it seems helpless to
defend itself. One cannot help being
curious to know how many more years
it will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war.
Il
Grafton display such remarkable lon
gevity."
The editor Of THE JOURNAL is in
receipt of letter from the Omaha
World, dated October 2, 1896, as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir:-Replying to your inquiry
and to Others like it we beg to say
that Mr.. Bryan became editor of the
World Herald September |, 1894, at
which time the World Herald became
free silver paper, advocating the
coinage of gold and silver at ratio of
l6 To |.
Mr.. Bryan's opponents are also cir
culating an editorial taken from the
World Herald of November Is, 1892,
and relating to pensions. Mr.. Bryan
did not become editor of the World
Herald until September |, 1894, and
never wrote a line for the World
Herald prior to that date. His pOlit-
ical platforms have always favored
liberal pensions to the soldiers.
You are authorized to make explicit
denial of these charges in accordance
with the above. Yours truly,
q. NJ. HITCHCOCK,
President.
The above lie of November IS, 1892,
was circulated by the National Tr-
bune, of Washington, ID. G.. There is
not word of truth in the charge, so
far as Mr.. Bryan is concerned. His
heart is in the right place so far as
the old soldier is concerned and all
other good citizens.
