bryan Had whiskcrs Once.

The Hon. William Alfred PETER OF
Kansas is to take the stump for Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. PETER is an older Populist
than his candidate, not better. For
years Kansas has trembled with Mr..
PETERS agitation for bad money. You
can't get too bad money for PETER. The
worse it is, the better he likes it. He
vouched for Mr.. Bryan as a good Popu-
list at st. Louis, and time has shown
that for once no knew what he was talk
ing about. Mr. Bryan is as sound or un-
souud a Populist as there is, and entirely
worthy of the support which Mr.. PETER
is giving him. Would any persons who
call themselves Democrats vote for Mr..
PETER If he were o candidate for presi-
dentf Why not, If they are ready to
vote for Mr.. Bryan? The only difference
between the two men is whiskers -

Honesty In the south.

A canvass of the views of southern
manufacturers and business men made
by the Baltimore Manufacturers Rec
ord shows only 10 out Of 151 from
whom replies We're received favoring
free silver coinage; few are doubtful,
and 124 pronounce themselves as dead
against free coinage. There is nothing
surprising in this. In proportion as the
men interviewed represent the solvent
aud intelligent part Of the community
will the responses for sound money pre-
ponderate. Bankrupts hope that the
chaos incident to change of money
standard will help them. The foolish
favor it because they are foolish. silver
mine owners favor it from interest, and
would be repudiationists from dishon-
est motives. But the honesty and intel
ligence of the country. north and south,
are against it, and we believe that they
constitute big majority. y.-Philadel-

All Good Men For Law and Order.

This is a very remarkable campaign.
Things that were supposed to be settled
forever and eternally settled are brought
into open controversy. The courts Of the
country, that have always been held
sacred by every American citizen, where
the scales of justice have been equally
balanced, courts that have been unin-
fluenced and unawed, the tribunal which
defended the weak from the strong, has
not escaped the attack Of some Of cur
political opponents. Law and order,
which lie at the very foundation of our
political fabric. which are the very es-
sence Of our public institutions, are also
assailed, so that good men this year, ir-
respective of their old party affiliations,
are uniting upon one great platform to
maintain the national honor and the in
tegrity of our free institutions. / bid
the great body Of commercial men from
one end of this country to the other--I
bid them welcome as allies in this great
contest for the honor of the government
Of the United States. William Nc

OUR STOCK OF GOLD.
It Would DwindIe Away II Bryan Should
lie Elected.

It Would Dwindle Away N Bryan Should
lie Elected.
Bryan has been claiming repeatedly
OF late that the treasury estimate plac-
ing the amount Of gold in the United
States at 5000, 600, 900 was gross ex-
aggeration and that there was not much
over third of that sum in the country
Last June Comptroller Eckels wrote to
I2,962 national. state and private banks,
asking them TO give him the amount Of
gold ON hand July 1. The information
obtained in this way has just been
made public. Replies were received from
5,723 institutions, of which 3, ,45S were
national banks. Estimating the. gold
holdings of the state and private banks
and trust companies which did not re-
por. from the holdings of those which
did, the comptroller reaches the conclu-
sion that the 12,962 concerns held
$303, 600, 900 of gold July and the
treasury held little oyer $l01, 600, 600,
making a total of s404,Oo0, 900.
To this total should be added the gold
which is in circulation, especially on
the Pacific coast, the stocks in the
vaults of banks and safety deposit COM
panies and the private boards. A due
allowance for these items would carry
the total about up to the original esti-
mate of the treasury department, the
accuracy Of which Bryan has been chal-
longing.
And If that 5000, 900, GO figure was
little too low then the gold imports
have exceeded the exports about $780,
900, 600 since that date, SO there is cer-
tainly 5000, 600, 600 Of gold in the coun-
try now, and more is coming. As usual,
the Popocrats are wrong in eirfigures.
But their faulty estimate of the amount
Of gold in the United States would be
too large If Bryan were to be elected.
For the moment it was known he was
elected it would commence streaming
out of the country, and much less than
$500, 900, 900 would remain. Chicago

AFRAID OF THE TARIFF.
Excellent Reasons Why Bryan Takes Ref
uge Behind the Money Issue.

Excellent Reasons Why Bryan Takes Ref
uge Behind the Money Issue.
II ever o man deserved crushing de-
feat, as punishment to himself and a
Warming to others like him, it is Will
liam j. Bryan. Said Mr.. Bryan in his
Cincinnati speech:
wherever you have tho gold stand
ard you have stagnation in business and
men out Of work. p"
We had the gold standard in the Nc
Kinley tariff years, Mr.. Bryan. Then
every mill and factory in this country
was busy. Then wages went up i'll all
manufacturing industries. Then the
wage earners had so much more money
to spend that in 1892 they were able to
pay for and consume 20, 900, 900 more
bushels of wheat than in 1895, though
the population of the country was
5000, 900 less than it now is. In the
Mckinley years the farmer was able to
sell his crops, getting gold standard
money for them and paying off his debts
with it, dollar for dollar, and buying
what he wanted. dollar for dollar.
We had the gold standard from 1888
to 1892, and in that time wages ad-
vanced in the manufacturing industries
exactly so per cent In the trades, dur
ing the same period, wages advanced 20
per cent for two hours less work a day.
We had the gold standard from
March, 1881, to March, 1898, and in
that time, under protective tariff laws,
the governments interest bearing debt
was reduced from 81, 660, 935, 900 to
$3.50. 034, $50.
When the present free trade admins
tration came into power and when the
free trade Wilson law was passed, we
had 'stagnation in business and men
out Of work. " We had 100000 men
out of employment, and the wage pay
ments of the country diminished by
more than $500. 900. 900 year. We had
the value of the farmers live stock re-
duced enormously-tbe value Of our
sheep alone was cut in half, from $125,-
900, 600 to $65. 900, 600; his cereal crops
without q market because the wage
earners could not buy what they former
ly had consumed. and mortgage pay
ments stopped. We had four issues Of
JULIUS, WuICu, pfluClpai anu iuesltSt,
will cost the people $500, 600, 900 to pay
off. We had constant treasury def
cheney because our expenditures vastly
exceeded our revenues.
We had all this debt, poverty and
misery, Mr.. Bryan, because of the Will
son law. You voted for that bill. AS q
member of the ways and means commit
tee You helped to frame it. You urged
even heavier reductions in the tariff
than were made.
And because you know, Mr.. Bryan,
that it was this monstrous Wilson law
thaS brought ruin to the country, you
are afraid to discuss the tariff. You
take a towards refuge behind the mon
ey issue. 1t was you and the Wilson
law, Mr. Bryan, which brought "stag-
nation in business and men out Of
work. 4" You, as much as Grover Cleve-
land and Professor Wilson, are respon-
sible, and the people Of the United
States will exact the penalty from you
on election day-the penalty of defeat
that will be shame and a disgrace to
you. New York Press.

~ Would Keep tho White Metal Down TO
Its Bullion Value.
A 90 cent dollar is silver dollar that
will exchange for only itsrb9I Hon. YaIde,
or SO cents in gold. 1t is the kind Of
dollar that wage earners Of every sort
would receive under free coinage. OF
course, tho dollar would be nominally a
100 cent dollar, and would DO worth
100 cents in silver, but, like Mexican
dollars at the present time, it would
take two of them to buy gold dollar
or "a gold dollars worth of commodities.
Under our present money standard and
system our 412h grain silver dollars,
though containing but 53 cents worth
of silver, are held up by the government
to a parity with gold.
The government does this just now
with somo difficulty. Though the num-
Der of silver dollars is limited it has TO
borrow gold to maintain the parity, but
under free coinage the supply of silver
dollars would be unlimited, and they
would have to pass at their bullion
valuo, since it would be entirelyimpos-
sible for the United States government
alone to keep the worlds supply OF sill
yer on parity with gold at "a ratio Of

OUR RAILROADS.

With the 29tn annual issue, for 1896, OF
that standard indispensable work, PooR's
Manual OF Railroads, is consolidated the
Directory of Railway Officials, VIII ch for
decade has been issued separately as
supplement TO the larger work. The con-
eolidation, together with that made in
1893 of the Handbook of Investment
Securities makes more than usually
imposing volume OF 1900 pages, covering
the entire, field of railway statistics, history
and finance, State and municipal invest
ments, industrial securities and allied
nnatter-4399 corporate in al, 2O40 of
which are steam railroads, 120S strest
railroads, 143 industrial corporations,
AMI zoos States, cities and towns inoebt-
edness, the aggregate of the investments
represented being s16, AIS, 100000. The
price of the Manual is $3.50 a copy,
nominal figure surely considering the
value and character of the work.
PooR's Manual has earned for itself
reputation throughout the world which
has no parallel in the history OF statistical
ANNALS. II is the accepted authority, the
world over, on all matters pertaining to
the affairs of our railroads, OF our State
and municipal governments, and OF the in
dustrial corporations of tho United States.
Compared with the other material inter
ests of the country, the railroad interest
is, of course, by far the most important
OF all. With this great interest, the fnan-
cial interests OF the country have become
| indissolubly linked. Hence 1t is that.the
Manual is regarded in all financial circles
of this and foreign countries as a work
indispensable in the ordinary transac-
tions OF business life. The Manual pre-
sents this year the feature OF great detail
and labor in the statements of the princi-
pal companies. These statements, it is be-
lieved, will prove OF unusual public inter-
est. 1t is, OF course, Of great value to those
interested to have the affairs of all COM
panies set out in one volume, and SO
wide publicity given. The labor and ex-
pense involved in the publication off re-
port of a single company will we'll Illus
trste what is involved in the publication
of the Manual, containing statements of
more than 1000 companies.
In the summary furnished by the Man
usl, It appears that up to December 81
last there have been laid in this country
$50, 955.37 miles of track, of which 49,.
s21. 26 were completed up to the close of
the fiscal year of the respective compap-
les. The operation OF all of this tracking
amounted in 1895, at the close of the rs
cal year, to 327, ,294, 73i passenger train
mileage, 491, ,4lo,s20 freight train mile
age and 10. 457, $50 mixed train mileage.
The total traffic revenue amounted to
the'tremendous sum of s1,093, 139, sos, the
net earnings being 1923, 1876, a5i. Other
receipts added to.this and oil payments
from the revenue thus available being
su ubtracted-including DIVIDENDS OF $751;
375, 774-show final balance surplus OF
