HOW WAGES WoULD TUMBLE
Times Herald.

Such panic and such hard times as would
surely follow the adoption of tree silver and
the other revolutionary features of the Bryan
platform would not only stop the wages of
millions of laborers, but they would send the
wages of those who have work down to point
lower than they have been st any period since
1860.
American labor is too patriotic to risk revo-
luton; it is too well informed to undo what it
has taken so long to Accomplishing adopt a
course that would send tumbling to a low
figure the good wages ii now hss-by lending

The Duke of Westminster mansion in

pit into which they allowed themselves
to be led, it is quite probable that no vigor-
Gus outcry will be made at the present.
1t is likely that such Democrats as are
opposed to the dominance of Mr.. Gator
over their organization viii follow the
usual Democratic motto, which inculcates
the theory that under adverse circum-
stances they shall "say nothing and saw
wood"
Their opportunity for ''sawing wood"
to some purpose will come on election day,
when the overwhelming defeat of the
fusion nominees put forward by the Tom
Gator Populists and the Steve White
Democrats will be subj ected to drubbing
they will remember for the remainder of
their lives. Genuine Democrats who re-
sent this monstrous invasion and usurpa-
ton of their party's right tc self-govern-
ment will have no recourse except to sup
port the straight-out Republican nominees
for the Legislature, and it is plain that
this is the course they will be most likely
to pursue.
The plain recital Of the confidence game
dexterities practiced by Mr.. Gator and the
powerful influences at his back aroused
feelings of disgust not alone among Demo
Gratis but also among such middle-of-the-
road Populists as wished TO see their
party freed from the baneful effects oi
entangling alliances. In this sentiment
all members of the Populist party who
are not Gator Populists join, and they are
to be honored for it. They stand for
honesty and fair dealing in politics, just
as do those Democrats who protest against
the bargain to which Senator White has
evidently given assent, whereby the
Democratic party south of Tehachapi is
permitted to lapse into nothingness, or,
at most, to become very light tail to the
Cator-Populistlc kite.
The history of the United States has
demonstrated that no good has ever
come of incongruous fusions or affilia-
tions, formed solely for :he purpose oi
securing political plumber. Such slippery
schemes have seldom, If ever, achieved
even temporary prosperity, and when
they fail, as ultimately they must, both
parties to the unholy alliance suffer the
blighting consequences of their evil acts.
By the people, to whom all such matters
must at last be referred for settlement,
they are adjudged and condemned.

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

A storm of anger is brooding in the
hearts and minds of the old-time leaders

State Of California. The shameful realiza-
