BRYAN SEES HOPE AHEAD.
Believes Silver win Win -Four
Years From Now.

In the December number of the
North American Review, published
to-day. Mr.. Bryan presents an ar
ticle, In which he discusses the re
suits of the election as effecting the
status of the silver question. The
Issue on which the election turns he
describes as ''the greater issue ever
submitted to the American people in
time of peace" The declarations of
the Chicago Convention in favor of
the free coinage of silver forced up
on the people of this country q study
of the money question In general:
and within the last four months
more people have been simultaneous
ly engaged in ito consideration than
ever before IN the history of the
world. The result OF this study Mr..

Many political d,st,rs are volun.
teering TO subscribe for the Demo.
cratic party. Some Of them even
have the assurance to recommend
the gold cure. The capital defect
OF all the proposed courses of treat
ment is that the patient needs no
medicine There is nothing the
matter with the Democratic party.
1t never was healthier Ia defeat than
now. Aud its prospects are as good
as could be desired. The stand it
has taken on the great question
which must be fought out in Ameri-
can politics l. sure To- draw to aid
ultimately the intelligent patriotism
of the country. Tue question is.
Shall the Republic be ruled by its
men or its money?
Whatever may be the surface ap.
pearance of the issues raised from
year TO year, that is the fundamental
question which divides the parties,
and will continue to divide them.
At present the conservative instinct
of the more comfortable classes in
cllnes IA majority toward the Re
publicans, but as wealth concentrates
aud trusts multiply, and money be-
comes mere powerful and holder in
the assertion of its power, the pa
triot;sm as we'll as self interest of
the comfortable classes, the mcder
ately we'll to do, will force them into
anta9onism. The Democracy has
only to stard it's ground in order to
triumph, for it must be that in a free
country the party OF popular rights
will prevail against the party of spec
ial privileges.
However good may be the inten
tions of Major Mckinley, his admin
istratiOn, born of such influences as
1t has been, wi il almost certainly
result in a great reaction against
government by capital. There is
every reason why the Democratic
party should look toward with con
fidence to 1900. Time is the best OF

Bryan declares TO be ''temporary Re

cause Of bimetallism.'
Mr.. BryaD expresses his assurance
that the election can be by no means
regardef as conclusive statement
of the questions at issue. The ad
vOcate of free coinage are convinced
that they are laborine in behalf of a

that they will try to secure iuterba

that they cannot do as much harm
in 1900 as they have done this year.
They have declared their ELECTION

OF NEBRASKA.

MANY OF our Republican ex.
changes are charging the Demo
cratic press with attempting to
o6Struct the good times (s) which
have struck the country since the
election or Mckinley, and that we
would be glad To see business con.
tiDue dull. The papers making
these charges are the ones who
are really retardIng the business
of the country by publishing false
reports ot the factories that are
heiDg opened up AMI thousands of
men obtaining employment at flag
stations on many Of the railroad
lines of the country, where the
whole community consists of two
or three houses, the y roads store
and a blacksmith shop. If that is
he way prosperity and confidence
Is to he restored we fear that we
will have a long time To wait ere
1t strikes us. But, then, many
factories that closed down before
The election have been opened up
and are now running double time
IN order To fill orders placed before
. they closed down and many more
received while the men were living
idle waiting for Mckinley to be
elected. But remember this, that
Just as SOOu rs all back orders
have been filled forces will have
to be reduced or men work on halt
time. One instance we call Ia
mind was that of the Waltham
Watch factory several months be-.
fore the election closing down foI
lack OF orders. aS they said. bat
Only few weeks after had to re.
sumo work with an increased force
on accOant Of the rush Of work.
and it will he found before the
winter is over that the large fac
tories that have increased the
number of their hands and are
now working double time, are in
the same fix the Waltham Watch
co. was IN. and that the present
furry Is not substantial. let uS
he honest about these matters. Ii
Is as much TO the interest of Dem
ocratS as it is to Republicans tn
havd good times, and we should
pull together to accomplish that re
suit.

What Protection Protects.

The New York Herald dis ,ses
in very brief manner the arrai [
folly of the effects of Il high protec

dian manufacturers, testifying in the
tariff inquiry instituted by the Do
uinion government, ask for higher
duties to protect them against com
petition with goods from the United
States.
Think of the arrant humbug oil
it? The American manufacturers
plead for increased duties to prevent
the country being flooded with goods
by the dreaded foreigner with hi.
cheap labor. Having fixed the tar
III so that they can exact high prices
from our own people. these guileless
American manufactures proceed t.
undersell the dreaded foreigner il
his own markets.

No particular important e attaches
to the Rev. r.. S. MacArthur's asser.

Bryan other than as an illustration
of the reckless misstate.aent which
usually result from the excursions of
the pulpit into politics. BY way of
broadening his mental horizon.
however, the excellent Macarthur
might note that the States carried
by Bryan were precisely those in
which the Evangelical Protestant
Churches are relatively strongest.
