HANNA'S SYNDICATE OF LIARS

The tactics Of the Republican national
campaign committee are so diabolical
in conception and infamous in operation
that one has reason to wonder how long
the government and its institutions can
live under such low, vile and lying in
fiuences. The Mckinley campaigu COM
mittee Is causing to be distributed all
over the country an editorial which ap-
peared in the Omaha, Neb., World-Her-
aid in November, 1892, denouncing what
it called extravagant pension appropria-
tions. and the authorship of the article
Is charged directly to Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Hanna and all the other managers
Of McKinley's campaign know that Mr..
Bryan was not connected with the
World Herald at that time; that he did
not associate himself with the paper un-
til September, 1884, and that he not only
did not write the article in question. but
shat he never heard of it until after he
was nominated by the Chicago conven-
ton. But Notwithstanding these facts
Hanna and his agents continue to print
and circulate the infamous lie.
The true facts in the case are that the
editor Of the World Herald in 1892 was
a Republican, and the publisher and pro-
prietor in that year was high tariff,
gold standard son Of Republican ex-
United States senator.
The World Herald became free sill
yer paper in 1894 and supported the Pop
ulist state ticket, but the paper was COM
mitted to that policy three months be-
fore Mr.. Bryan had any connection with
it directly or INDIRECTLY. These things
Mr.. Hanna knows, as do all his lying
henchmen, but for all that they refuse to
stop advertising lie as well authenti-
Gated fact.
Nearly everything is fair in politics
and war, but there are some methods
and tactics which no one but a born
scoundrel and liar would employ, and
this brutal charge against Mr.. Bryan is
one Of them. -..
Heaven help the country that elects
its officials by such low and thieving
ways and means, for people who would
endorse such tactics to blacken the
character of an honorable fellow citizen
are pretty sure to be too depraved by
nature, education and inclination to
make it worth the while of the God Of
nations to try to make them worthy of
personal liberty and freedom of speech.
Mr.. Hanna's syndicate Of liars is over
doing it. rN

REPUBLICAN MlsCHIEFMAKING

The indignities offered to Secretary
Carlisle at Covington last Thursday
evening constituted one Of the most re-
grettable incidents Of the campaign. AL
ready every effort is being made by the
Mckinley organs to load the odium of
the affair upon the Democratic party;
although any intelligent and unpreju-
diced person is perfectly aware that Mr..
Carlisle was insulted and threatened by
ruffian for whose conduct no party
should be held responsible, and who are
just as likely to profess allegiance to the
Republican party as any other.
Although Mr.. Carlisle's views on the
leading question of the day are diamet-
rically opposed to those Of The Herald,
his errors must be recognized as honest
ones; his ability and character are be-
yond question. The chivalrous men Of
Kentucky, regardless Of political opin-
ions, are justly proud of his well-earned
fame, and will resent an insult to him
as a personal affront. For any political
party to accept. even by silence. the re-
sponsibility for such occurrences would
be a mistake which would be nothing
short Of crime.
Especially Is this true under existing
conditions. From the beginning of the
campaign 1t has been the policy of our
opponents to excite and alarm the peo-
pie. and to create a fear of the conse-
quences Of Democratic success. At first
they asserted that the mere discussion
Of the silver question would PROSTATE
business; and that the triumph of free
coinage would bring widespread disas-
ter. The discussion has gone on, how
ever. and triumph seems now assured,
but after the first paroxysm Of apprehen-
sion had passed away the volume of bus
ines steadily increased.
The revival in all lines Of trade has
been something marvellous and has COM
pletely silenced the alarmists. They
realize now that in the face Of the bright
prospects Of future prosperity the people
refuse to be terrorized by dismal prophe-
cies, and have consequently changed
their line Of attack. Now they charge
that the Democratic party is q party of
lawlessness and disorder and a foe to
peace and security. This charge has no
more foundation in fact than their for
mer assertions, but in no way could color
be given to 1t more effectually than by
violent and riotous proceedings such as
those which disgraced Covington-if
there is any excuse for saddling the re-
sponsibility upon Democrats.
We have practically won our fight.
The timidity of the business elements
has been shown to be without cause.
We have nothing further to fear but an
appeal to those who dread mob rule
more than anything else. Such an APP
peal will bc Intellectual II Democrats
everywhere demonstrate that they are
the staunchest supporters of law and or
der. The man who does otherwise is the
enemy of the Democratic party, no mat
ter what he may call himself.

"a WORD TO THE PEOPLE

This Is the last week of the cam
paign, and 1t behooves every friend Of
the cause Of silver coinage to work with
might and main that the people may
win a substantial victory over the
trusts and monopolies. The country will
survive the election of Major Mckinley,
but his election would certainly mean
conditions Of existence for the people
which they should use every honorable
means to avoid. Major Mckinley may
be a gentleman Of high personal charac-
ter, but it is a notorious fact that he
permitted fund of $3.50 900 to be raised,
with which to secure his nomination,
and he knows that money is being poured
out like water all over the country 10
make his election sure. He knows that
the most disreputable methods are be-
Ing employed to defeat Mr.. Bryan. All
these things Major Mckinley knows,
and he utters no protest.
But why is Major McKinley's election
so necessary to the managers of his
campaign? The money syndicates have
| a strong hold upon every business en-
| terprise in the land. They have 1t be-
| cause they are able to control the cir
culating money medium Of the coun-
| try. and thus make every one who
transacts business pay tribute to them
They toll not, neither do they spin, but
| their wealth accumulates from year tC
year at the expense of the people, and
| they know that Mckinley is committed
| to strengthen rather than to weaken the
| grip they have on the machinery of ths
country's business operations. That |.
| why they are spending millions of dol
lars to elect Mckinley, and If he is elect
| ed, they will get 1t all back. A few
turns, of Wall and Lombard streets
thumbscrews will squeeze 1t out Of tn,
business enterprises. Of the masses.

THE IEDAL FACE

And felt the usual glow of admiration
That the heart feels, when beauty In tts

But faces change .and steadily decay:
Eyes lose their brightness, and the cheek
One face alone retains its charming sway;
Those we'll known features stamped upon

The old familiar face, benign and kind.
That cheers the tagging spirit of en-
What mercenary wretch-to reason blind
Seeks basely to destroyit? Let him ever
Be branded as Cain amongst his race
And scorn attend him. like chain and

Far from the welcome presence OF q dol

While Liberty remains, that face remains:
It's splendid symbol to splendid nation
Triumphant o'er the dread symbolic chains

M'HANNA HYPOCRISY.

BRYAN's TEMPERANCE LESSON.

Bryan is about the best object lesson
In temperance this country has ever
known. He would have broken down
long ago il he had been a dissipated
man, but because he has always led a
clean, upright, sober life, he is as fresh
as a daisy after three months of un-
precedented campaigning, and his last
month will be his best.-Denver Re-

Mr.. Dugald Crawford is the head Of
the dry goods house of D. Crawford &

avenue, st. Louis. Mr.. Crawford is a
Republican and an ardent advocate of
the single gold standard. He claims the
right, and will no doubt exercice 1t, of
voting his convictions. No one can find
any fault with this, but Mr. Crawford
does not concede to his employees the
same right that he claims for himself.
He seems to think that because he hires
men by the week, as he says, to work
in his store he thereby acquires the
right to dictate to them how they shall
