BRYAN AND THE TARIFF.

Candidate Bryan shows a kind OF
Shifty shrewdneSs in his avoidance of the
issue which his party has made the fore
most one in every campaign for many,
many years until now He says: ''What-
ever may be the individual views of citi-
zenS as to the relative merifs of protec-
ton and tarif reform. all must recog-
n!ze that until the money question is fully
and finally settled. the American people
Will not consent to the consideration of
any other important question If he had
said that the American people. having
tried tariff reform. and declared them
seves very. very sick of it. and We're de-
termined TO return to the principles OF
protection and stay there. he would have
come much nearer the truth. bu; then he
would have found the truth embarrass-
ing. as usual. Therefore. he acted
shrewdly, according to his standard of
practical prudence in saying as little
as possible on the subject. AMI making
that little take the form of Il claim that
the people are not interested in the sub
ject.
Nevertheless. the Democratic party
stands pledged by many planks in many
national platforms to oppose the protec
tive principle. and remains committed
by its action of scarcely more than four
years ago to the doctrine that protection
is unconstitutional and must be eXtirpat-
ed root and branch. A party cannot
change its principles as a man can change
his shirt. every time change seems TO be
temporarily convenient. A party is re-
sponsible for its history and its declar;-
tons in the past as well as in the pres

The tariff question is one regarding
which American voters are deeply inter-

to November ): next. as the time when
they will have Il chance to ex-
press themselves on the subject at the
ballot box. No matter how much this

away and hide from the tariff question,

M'kINLEY ExCELS HIMSELF.

The steel and iron industry has been
quoted as the barometer of trade. and
it is true that when the steel rail mills
the forges, the great foundries the
nail mills, the huge establishments in
which structural iron and the thous-
and household articles and Implements
of agriculture or of mechanics are busy
the whole community is prosperous
There may be exceptional causes lead
ing to exceptional activity in one or
two of the many branches of the great
iron and steel industry while the gen
eral commerce of the nation Ian
guishes. but it universally is true that
when all the branches of the iron trade
are vigorous the whole country is pros
porous. and when all of them are life
less the whole country is Frustrated.
This condition gives peculiar signf.-

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING IN
JAPAN.

There are no more painstaking. method
ical, accurate statisticians in the world
than those of the new Japanese empire
Japan has published a report of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate its none
tary system, which shows in various
parts of the empire the average prices
paid for all sorts Of commodities for a
long series of years past A correspond
ent of the Cleveland World in Toxic. has
taken the trouble to examine this report
with care. and has furnished to that jour
nal table in detail showing the general
rise in the cost of living in Toxic and
Osaka since 1873. Taking the prices
paid in 1878 as unit and calling it 100.
his table shows that in 1894 the price of
rice must be stated at 100. of misc, lJ3:
of table salt, 81: of soy. 15S: of firewood
al; of charcoal. 40: of cotton. lis; of
rent, DDS; of bath charges. 221. These
are the principal items in the cost of liv-
ing in Japan. and it is said that i'm 1891
the total cost of living is expressed BY
the figure 162 as compared with 1O0 in
1878. This is equivalent to saying that
the cost of living has increased during
twenty-one years by 81 per cent on the
average. The rise in prices is due to the
decline in the purchasing power of sill
NtI WHICH IL ttu IL IL utlti 10 llS upDfpcil-
ton in comparison with gold, or more
properly speaking, TO the greatly in
creased output of silver compared with
the output of gold. The effect of this rise
in prices upon persons with fixed income
is stated as follows: 1T will be seen
that petty official who could subsist in
1873 on ten yen month required at the
beginning of 1894. yen 1920 to live in
proportionate style. while Il person who
lived on 14.40 yen a month in 1856 re-
quired 26.20 yen eight years later. 1t is,
therefore, easy to see that people Eving
on petty fixed income. such as clerks in
government service. whose income is
practically stationary. must now be ey-
periencing considerable difficulty in max
ing ends meet, especially since house
rent, which constitutes the largest item in
the cost of living, is steadily going up
ward
The same correspondent prints table
of wages of mechanics upon the same
plan, which shows that if the average
wage paid in 1873 was 100. the average
wage paid in 1894 was 1873. that is 10

or little more than one-half us much as

ard of this country one moment longer
than 1 can help to get rid of it,

At Toledo he said "a Republican sue
cess would simply mean that while the
people are nominally free they will be
hewerS of wood and drawers of water
for those who control the money supply
of the world" And again: THE people
who intend TO strike down one-half of all
the standard money of the world simply
mean to do with you and your property
what the fleets of the world and the
armies of the world would do if they
came to destroy one-half of al your pos
sessions"
At Milwaukee he described the present
political campaign as a struggle over the
question whether the people will ALLOW
the host of the gold standard to enslave
70.000,0W of people. white and black, in
this country" He said further: They
say that We are arrayng one class of so
ciety against another. | deny it. But.
my friends if Il burglar comes 10 my

ly TO keep him out. and il does not make
me mad if. when he starts away. he
turns around and shouts TO me that | am
trying to array my family against him.
When men array themselves against So
ciety, society has Il right TO array itself

In his speech at Lincoln. Nebraska. ac-
cepting the nomination of the silver Re

gold standard is a'conspiracy against the
human race. | would no sooner join the
ranks of those whose purpose it is to
fasten it upon the people than enlist in an
army that was marching 10 attack my
home and destroy my family"
These extracts from Mr.. Bryan's har-
rangueS give fair idea of him as an
agitator and fomenter of popular discord
and commOtion-a man who would risk
the horrors of an armed conflict between
citizens of the republic rather than fail
of his election TO the chair which he as
pireS to occupy. 1t is difficult to know
whether he is to be taken seriously. He
is either dangerous or absurd: dangerous
if he succeeds in reaching the height OF
his ambition, but absurd if he fails of an
election.

"The Chicago convention has justified

Nobody could have foreseen such a
speedy and open voicing of the enmity
of the West and the South against the
East. The financial condition OF Argen-
tina and of Greece is a paradise COM
pared with what would be the condition
of the United States should ! the

ruin and with second civil war"

REPUD1ATED BY THE SUN.
The Greatest Democratic Daily Is Ont
for Mckinley.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Sun in the
following editorial formally repudiates
the national Democratic platform, and
supports Mckinley for the presidency:
southern poverty, engendered by the
war, and the common discomfort stirred
up to recklessness by the agitation of
the last twelve years, have at last blazed
into a demand for debased coinage and
tax on wealth, and have carried the
national Democratic convention. The
Chicago platform cannot be accepted.
The United States was made Democratic
and it must remain so. Free-silver
coinage would be national dishonor and
a monumental anachronism. Silver has
had it's day as the money standard. The
silver campaign is based on delusions
which have no justification and on state
ments which are not true. 1t cannot
prevail, and every sincere believer in
fair dealing in business as the founda
tion of commercial prosperity must put
aside all other purposes and unite for
its defeat.
fFrom now until the night of election
day in November the presidentialc audi
date of every Democrat who favors hon.
est money, and who still hopes to crush
the enemies OF the fundamental prin-
ciples he was bred in, should be, with
out hesitation, evasion or prejudice,
