Are Not Anarchists.


One of the fayorite methods of de-
famation adopted by the anti-Demo-
cratic agencies in the present campaign
Is to charge the supporters of William
j. Bryan with anarchistic and socialist
ic purposes. The assumption of a
claim to exclusive virtue and upright
ness is, unfortunately, no novelty in
the struggles of partisanship. The
Fharisee perpetually thanks God in
public that ''he is not as other men
are" He sees in his neighbor's pov-
erty and suffering only the punishment
of his neighbor's sins, and in his own
prosperity and success he recognizes
only the fact that Providence has dealt
with him in some degree according to
his unquestionable deserts. Any dis
sent from his views excites his intoler-
ance and induces his outflow of cpl
thets. Every day we may read in
newspapers owned by or mortgaged to
the Pharisaic interests of the gold
standard foul language of this sort ap-
piled.

the West last week, after drawing a

Norway Suruce.

The Norway spruce has been dis
seminated throughout the world. Il
has been a matter of interest to en-
deavor to find fine specimens of this
tree in its native habitat, but the
search has been in vain. Nowhere dd
they attain the size or the beauty that
we have them in America. In regions
where the timber has been cut, we do
not expect much in the second growth,
but there are immense tracts from
which the lumber cannot be removed to
any market; but there the trees merely
look old without having attained greai
size or remarkable beauty. The Nor
way maple is very fine. but nowhere
better than it is seen in America. Quita

M'kINlEY ON HIMSELF.

The personally conducted pilgrim
ages to the shrine of Mckinley atoan
ton, Ohio, as a feature of the campaign
serve certain purpose that was never
intended by their projectors. 1t is the
habit of some of the Republican press
20 point with respectful admiration tC
these expensive excursions as spontan
eous "outpourings" of popular enthusi
asm. OF course nobody is fooled by
that sort of talk except those who pre-.
fer to be fooled. The unintentional
purpose which these pilgrimages serve
is to demonstrate that it is the plan of
the Republican machine to carry this
election if they can by brute force of
money.
Further the continually recurring eX-
cursions demonstrate that there is
money in unlimited quantities behind
Mckinley even for ornamental pur-
poses. If Hanna can afford so early
i'll long campaign to spend money in
manufactured enthusiasm and preach
ing to the converted, what may be eX-
nected later when the pinch comes and
'blocks Of five" are needed?
Another feature of these pilgrimages
is the queer sort of stuff which the can
didate is permitted to dole out to his
visitors. One day he tells them that

In the Presbyterian Mid d-Continent

they receive, properly educate them

from which the electricity is conveyed
by a submarine cable across the river
to operate some of its lines on the

Union power-house, from which some
of the company's lines were operated,
was burned, and, as misfortune never
comes singly, a day or two since the
cable which crosses the river at the
foot of Jefferson street failed in it's

Billy Martin. the company's diver,
down to overhaul the cable, which was
found to have sustained a fracture,

which is the conductor, had in some
way got in contact with the wire cover

when hauled to the surface expressed

shocked, and he wanted to quit work

his "headpiece." He was demonstrated

have been shocked by electricity be-

Efforts to Deceive Labor.

Judging by the speeches of the Re.
publican spell binders, and the utter
ances of the Mckinley organs, the
st. Louis platform was constructed
expressly to relieve the woes of labor,
and to bring prosperity to the farming
element.
All the appeals, all the arguments,
all the speeches are directed at the
horny handed. To judge by the style
of campaigning, the bankers, the gold
spectators, and the bond syndicates
have no interest at all in the struggle
1t isn't their fight; the lifting of the
poor man into prosperity and affiuence
is the aim of Mark Hanna, and the
sole and unselfish desire of William
Mckinley.
But the experience of the past few
years is not going to be brushed away
by fallaciOus arguments and the dis
play of pretended sympathy. The
workingman has seen the wealthy class
increased and grow more domineering
and grasping. He perceives the des-
perate fight they are waging for the
success of the single gold standard.
and recognizes that its retention will
mean an increase of the evils under
which he now suffers, rather than an
amelioration of them.
An appeal to labor and pretended
grief for the atfiictions of the working
man for a few months, every four
years, does not repay him for the hun
ger and privatiOns he has TO encoun-
ter. This time labor recognizes that
there is an issue in which it has per-
sOnal interest. and this is why there is
a panic ut the Republican headquar-
ers.-Philadelphia Item

this country has no privileged class, y
and at once proceeds to refer with pride
to the work of his life spent in creating
just such privileged class by means
Of tariff legislation. Another day he
breaks out in lyric strain of admira-
ton for that disinterested and virtuOus
statesman, Matthew Stanley Quay. He
has not yet told his visitors of the vir-
| tues of Hanna, but as between Hanna
and Quay the difference is one of de-
gree not of kind. Apart from his af-
filiations with the Quays and the Han
mas, of which he appears to be proud
the quality of the economic wisdom
which he dispenses to the mutual adj
miratiOn eXcursiOniSts, is of that pc
cuiiar variety which implies either in
| tellectual poverty in the dispenser or
contempt for his audience.
| Last Saturday for instance he asked
crowd of his admirers:
SIS it reasonable that the stamp of
the government can make 90 cents
worth of silver worth a dollar? We
have the best money now, and that is
what il has been since 1879"
For man who has spent his life ad
vocating protection. the position i'm
piled by Mr. McKinley's question is un-
tenable. If he knows anything of
economic principles and experience, he
should know that deprecated cur
rency acts as protective duty in the
direct ratio of the depreciation. He
has before him the experience of MeXi-
co and other silver-slandard countries
in this regard, and he should under
stand the tremendous stimulus to home
manufacturing industry which the diff
ference in exchanges creates. He
should know further that the producers
of raw materials, the farmers, for in
stance, would be doubly the gamers by
the increased home market due to the
stimulation of manufacturing industry.
and by the advantage of selling their
produce on gold basis to the consum-
ers IN the gold-standard countries.
If Mr.. Mckinley believed what he
says, if he is sincere in the belief that |
the value of the dollar would depre-
ciate one-half, as he says, under free |
coinage of silver. then he, as the great !
apostle of protection, should be the first |
to support such measure. OF course
it is elementary to say that no such de-
probation would follow. There would
be no disturbance of the parity of the
mediums, but if Mr.. Mckinley really
believes that such disturbance would
result he condemns the whole policy for
which he stands when he raises the OBJ

Democrats-the first chance we have
had to get any insight into this matter.
as the gold Democrats did not have a
candidate in the field in either Vermont

tnat the first Democratic platform in

but that upon Mr. Sewalls protest a
second convention was called which
adopted the free silver plank of the
Chicago convention. The goldbugs
bolted and placed W. II. Clifford i'm

didate for the governorship. Mr. Cliff
