the outlook Of the nation. Few indeed

Bryan's Sheer at Veterans.

II the prospect of having the pur-
chasing power of their pensions cut
in two by the effect of free coinage
were not enough, the veterans have
another reason for disliking Major
McKinley's opponent. He was at one
time an editor. His paper was the
Omaha World-Herald. On Novem-
Der 10, 1892, when he was doing the
editorial work on that paper, he took
up the question of pensions and here
is what he said:
The next session of congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
1886, 100000. This is on account of
pensions. The appropriations for
pensions for the next year must not
be less than $3.50, 1000, 900. 1t is there
fore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than 1886, 1000, 900.
This tremendous sum would in itself
be enough to run reasonable gov
eminent. One would not complain II
it were an honest debt, but a large
proportion is not debt, because it was
never earned by any act of patriotism
or heroic service. The government
is held up and despoiled Of no mean
portion Of this, and it seems helpless
to defend itself. One cannot help be-
ing curious to know how many more
years it will take to exhaust the gen
Grafton which feels itself injured by
the war. 1t is safe to say that never
did a generation display such remark
able longevity.
That was William Jennings Bryan
before he dreamed of running for
president. The sneer, the uncalled
for slur, the ill-concealed regret that
so many of the preservers of the ma
ton should still be living shows
where his heart is, what kind of a
patriot he is, and where he would be
in the hour of the country's extrem-
ity should he at such time be the
occupant of the White House.

That Grip Of Gold Again.

In the London Financial News of
September IA appears the following:
In our issue Of August 10 we took
occasion to refer to the circulation in
the American newspapers of an article
entitled 1.-THE Grip Of Cold" purport-
ing to be an extract from the Finan-
cial News of March 10, 1896, and we
stated that no such article had ever
appeared in this journal. As certain
American papers continue to reprint
this article, crediting it to the Finan-
cial News, we have again to warn our
readers and our American contempor-
aries that it is a forgery, and its
whole tenor is entirely opposed to the
view we have always taken of the
effect of free silver legislation in the
United States.
A copy Of the Financial News of
Sept. IA is in the Office of the Topeka
Capital where it is on exhibition,
As a matter of authority this seems
little better than the Abilene News
and Monitor which know nothing
about it.

About Those Eggs.

II our Abilene merchants would buy all
the eggs that were offered at twenty-five
cents dozen could the other merchants buy
any at tenn II this government would take
all the silver that Is offered and make of 1t
standard silver dollars which are a legal
tender for all debts public and private
would any man be fool enough to sell his
silver for less than its coinage Value Mon
itor.
This is the theory expounded by
Bryan down in Kentucky the other
day. The proposition is that if "our
Abilene merchants would buy" at
three times their market value all the
eggs produced, eggs would be worth
% cents dozen-if the Abilene
merchants could make good their
offer But il any man in this COM
munity would offer to take all the
eggs, produced, and without regard to
value, put them up in packages of
one dozen and mark them some dozen
egg, 25c," and return these package
to the owners, would that alone es-
tablish the market price Of eggs,

Mine Owners Selfshness.

One of the pet theories of the free
silver orators is that although free
silver may increase the wealth of the
mine owners it will also increase
miners wages. Do they say anything
about the Leadville striker The
owners declared increased dividends
but refused to pay the men any in
creased wages, as result of which
there was first-class strike and riot
on top in that mining center. The
silver mine owner is a Spectator.
selfish and grasping. If free silver
wins he alone will be benefited.

other day: "Young men, don't i'm

words. A hundred years from now,
when the people have passed far
enough away from John Sherman to
appreciate his political career, as a
mountain gains in grandeur in re-
ceding, he will tower higher than any
other statesman OF the century, un-
less it be that other great financier,
Alexander Hamilton" But of course
the boys of Dickinson county know
better. Ed Little has told them that
Sherman is ian old chump" and "an

Beecher on Fiat Money.

Henry Ward Beechcr was one OF the dis
tlnguished men Of our time | only wish
that this distinguished divine, whose name
has added TO the great fame of your great
city, were with us tonight that he might
champion the cause OF the people In their
great fight Of today-lWm. Jennings Bryan
ut Brooklyn
Fortunately we know what Henry
Ward Beecher would say II he had
been present al the meeting and had
heard Mr.. Bryan's speech. During
the fiat money and unlimited paper
currency excitement Of 1877 Mr..
Beecher delivered famous sermon
on Thanksgiving day Of that year on
the perils Of the day. In it he used
this language, which is commended
to the study of the Populistic candi-
date for the presidency since he has
called Henry Ward Beecher as a wit
ness:
Whenever in any nation there is
such an attempt to tamper with stan
dards that the moral sense Of man is
bewildered and liberty is given to UNI
principled men at large to cheat, to
be unfaithful to obligations, to refuse
the payment of honest debts-when'
ever that takes place, it is all the
worse If done with the permission of
the law. hate the devil riding on
a law worse than | do the devil riding
without the law under him. Whoever
campers with established standards
hampers with the very marrow and
vitality of public faith. n y The
danger mtg which we are running is
hidden under the mystery of finance
and currency All money is but a
representative Of property. As now,
by facility of intercourse, all the
world is one open market, the need OF
one and the same standard Of money,
uniform, universal and unalterable,
becomes imperious! Gold is the
universal measure of value. Other
kinds of money there are-silver, cop
per, paper-but they must all con-
form to gold and be measured by it,
and be interchangeable with it, in
fixed and definite proportions. Gold
is king in commerce. All other
money must represent gold. No vote
of legislature can change the nature
of commerce, the nature of property,
the nature of its representative in
money, or the the relative superiority
or inferiority of different currencies.
This congress would not have existed,
nor any government of the United
States, but for the strength given to
our armies by foreign capitalists; and
now to return their aid by base
treachery is to deserve an infamy as
deep as the lowest depths of hell.
But woe to these men, bull.headed, |
without eyes, who are attempting to
undermine the integrity and simple
ity Of the nation"
The ghost Of Henry Ward Beecher,
materialized for the moment by this
Misrepresentation Of one Of the car
dinal principles Of his faith and pa
triotism, drops upon Mr.. Bryan likea
trip hammer upon fly. !!

The regularity with which the
News fake factory grinds out alleged
proofs of the grip of gold" article
indicates that the editor of that

more. The News simply don't know
