THE RAILROAD MEN MOVING.

The Journals dispatches show that the
meeting of railroad men at Terre Haute on
Thursday night one of the largest and
most enthusiastic of the campaign thus far
In respect of original and unique parade
features it has not had any equal, so far
as the Journal knows. Railroad men are
inventive, energetic and full of resources,
and when they set about doing a thing of
that kind they are sure to succeed. AS
mere exhibitions of mechanical ingenuity
and object lessons in skilled workmanship
some features of the Terre Haute demon
stration must have been interesting outside
of political considerations.
The organization of railroad men is like
ly to be memorable feature of this mem
orable campaign. No other class of citi-
zens are more familiar with the routine
methods of organization than railroad men,
and none can organize more rapidly for any
purpose. In fact, they are organized all
the time, and while they do not often take
a distinctive part in politics, they are do
ing SO this year. They have evidently con-
Guided, at least large majority of them
have, that the public welfare the general
prosperity, the interests of the railroads,
and. consequently, their own interests will
be promoted by the success of the party
and the candidate that stand for sound
money and protection to American indus
tries. They know that the success of Bry-
anism, Altgeldism and cheap money would
be a terrible blow to the railroad business
and that they and their families would
suffer. For this reason as we'll probably
as because they are convinced it is best for
the country at large, very large majority
of them will vote for Mckinley. A few
days ago eleven trains of los cars carried
5000 railroad employees to Canton where
they pledged their hearty support to the
Republican candidate. The enthusiastic
meetings at Terre Haute Logansport
Richmond and other points, and the rapid
formation sof sound-money clubs among
them show that the railroad men are NOV
ing with their accustomed energy and are
likely to become a potent factor in the

THE ONLY REMEDY.

The farmer needs better markets, the
wage Garner more general employment the
manufacturer more consumers and the
railroad managers more tons of freight to
carry.
BY the German tariff act, which Mr.. Bry-
an supported because it was a movement
toward the original free trade which he
advocated as vehemently as he now does
the cause of the silver miners. the farmers
have lost a considerable part of the mar
kets they had control of in 1892. The wool
industry has been ruined. Canada, under a
half duty crowds its way into all the cities
along the border causing a decline in de-
mand and price. The ad valorem duty on
cattle and cheap horses has stimulated
their importation from Mexico so that tens
of thousands come into Texas at the pres
ent time where practically none reached
our markets in. 1892. For poultry, eggs and
other articles Canada completes under
lower duties, depressing prices, livestock
ing markets and shutting the American
producer out by as much as the Canadian
producer sells.
Furthermore, the American farmer has
lost thousands of consumers through their
incapacity to purchase. The consumption
of wheat in the United States in 1882 was
ESQ, 49, 724 bushels, but during 1894 and 1885
the average consumption for the two years
was only e74579673 bushels. Here is
falling off in the home consumption of
wheat of H. ,051 bushels year. There
being no market for this wheat at home it
was exported to Europe to crowd the al
ready well-stocked market and de-
press prices If that wheat could
have been consumed at home the
price would have been as high as
in 1890, 1891 and 1892 The summary of
the Pennsylvania Bureau of Statistics fer
1895 shows that 3S1 establishments employed
in 1894. 1921, and in 1885, $780, 725 hands,
against 140,S5o in 1892. These figures show
the incapacity of wage earners to purchase.
Here is an average loss of 49, OFT men in the
last two years. compared with 1892. This
means that 1874 per cent. of the men en-

MR. MANNING UNSOLICITED.


Mr.. Kern is entitled to the sympathy and
ating but Intellectual effort to offset his
ringing sound-money speech of May 2S
1896; still, it would not be fair to the repu-
tation of the late Secretary Manning to
have it understood that his policy in the
payment of demands upon the treasury
was diGe either from that of his pre-
decesso,s or successors. Mr.. Manning had
an overrunning treasury, and if Mr. Kern
will lock the matter I'D he will find that
there were then gold raiders in the
sense that there have been since June
1893. In an answer to the House. which
asked why he did not the surplus sill
yer in the treasury 20 pay the interest
bearing debt, Secretary Manning, March 2
1886. said:
L have upheld the value of the silver dol
lar by never compelling its receipt by any
creditor of the government and never fail
ing to provide, by exchange or transfers.
To force surplus silver circulation
by too large funded-debt payments there
with is not possible without the hazard of
a silver basis.
Such was the reason that Secretary Man
ming gave for not forcing creditors to take
ed that Secretary Manning is not a good
man for the silverites to recall at the pres
ent time. He was a man who was taught
in the school of Samuel J. Tilden. and for
that reason he devoted eight pages of his
last report that of December, 1885, to the
silver question. 1t would be instructive
reading for Democrats to-day. Free-silver
coinage was discussed then, and Mr.. Man
ming gave in his report the following rea-
sons for opposing that heresy:
In the first place the free monetization
or coinage of silver would bring us to the
open mint to both metals free coinage of
silver for silver owners into lega1-tender
dollars would. stop the use of the mint for
the free coinage of gold by gold owners
1t would stop the simultaneous circulation
of gold and silver dollars. The gold dollar
would be at a premium and be exported
Thus the free coinage of silver now
or. which is the same thing. the Asiatic
silver basis, would but shift our lameness
to the other foot. 1t would neither restore
nor tend to restore the worldwide use of
the two metals, in rated equivalence
cation. Now we make a hmDing use of
both metals but the free-sllver-c
proposition and the silver-basis prescription
to cure temporary lameness in the other.
Secretary Manning went to urge the
stopping of the purchase of silver under
the Bland-Allson law. In the course of
his argument Mr.. Manning said that
though the treasury had bought and
stamped $3.50, 600 600 of silver in the last
eight years, silver bullion had never been
as low as at that time. The remedy, in
Mr.. Manning's opinion, was an interna-
tional agreement. and, to hurry such an
agreement, he would stop the purchase of
to an agreement If they did not hope that
the United States would assume the silver
burden. Then as now, the clique of silver
mine owners were behind the free-coinage
movement and Mr.. Manning limited that

ployed in 1892 were idle in 1S94-95. The
wages which the 140,S SOS employees received
in 1892 was $sS. 156, 2S7, while the average of
the amount paid for wages in 1894 and 1895
was Sol. 1856, 291-a loss of s16 25s, 2s1 or of "a
per cent. which is almost one-fourth. In
1890 4,712, 662 men and women We're employed
by manufacturing establishments. and they
were paid 81, 2S3. 216, 529 in wages. If 1872 per
cent of that number were idle it would
mean that $4,000 men and women who
were in the factories in 1890 We're idle in
1894 and 1895, uE,ler the present tariff. If
the wages earned in these years were 20
per cent. less instead of "a, shown in
Pennsylvania, it means that the factory
people had an average of $456 643. 300 less in
1894 and 1895 to spend for food and shelter
than in 1890 and 1892
Thus it appears that the farmer has lost
his market to outsiders in part, and in
part because over 100000 men in the fac
tories, with 350o,O0O people depending on
them, have lost their employment, and the
aggregate of wages with which they pur-
chase has been reduced $3.50 000, 600 a year in
round numbers.
How will the farmer regain these con-
sumers and the wage Garner those wages?
By the free and unlimited coinage of silver
bullion? Has farmer wage Garner or
manufacturer any of this bullion? Not an
ounce. How, then, can it restore the mar
kets which free wool growers, Canadian
farmers and Mexican ranchers have seized?
No one can tell. Can free coinage start the
factories? Not one in a hundred of the
manufacturers of the country will admit it.
On the contrary. they predict that free sill
yer will close those now running.
There is but one remedy, and that is such
protective legislation as will keep out the
foreign competitors of the farmer and
cure the home markets to home production

There are seeming grounds for the gossip
to the effect that the Matthews combine"
has determined to sacrifice the Popocratic
electoral ticket and all else to secure a
Legislature which will make the Governor
United States Senator. To secure Populist
support for the legislative ticket Puntenney,
Democrat, forced off the track in the
Sixth district in order that Robinson, one
of the most rabid supporters of fatisn.
might be put on the Democratic ticket.
Cheadle was forced upon the Democrats in
another district by Captain Allen in order
to bring the Populists to the support of
legislative fusions that may insure the sue
cess of candidates who favor Matthews for
United States Senator.
