Bryan'S OrafOry.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Journal has done its readers and it's
party a common service in printing Mr.
Bryans speeches as fully and fairly
it has No man of average intelligence can
afford to make up his mind upon a vital
political issue like the present currency
problem without giving a hearing TO both
sides of the controversy. party paper
that disregards it's obligation to be a news
paper as we'll dfsgusts, its readers and
weakens their confidence in the soundness
of the views it fears to submit to the test
of comparison with the views of an oppon-
ent The speeches of Mr.. Bryan may well
be regarded as the strongest and most
elaborate presentation of it's new creed
which the Populist-D combine has
to offer 1t is a mistake to underrate an
antagonist and it would be worse than
futile to deny to Mr.. Bryan rare skill in
presenting a wholly vicious cause attract
lively under the most trying conditions.
Take. for example his Indianapolis
speeches. made after weeks of daily pres
entations of the same subject to audiences
in a dozen different States. They were en-
tirely destitute of rational argument. it is
true. They assumed everything that should
have been proven, and appealed to the
prejudices of his auditors instead of their
understanding: DuC these omissions only
evinced the remarkable ability of the
tor for avoiding dangerous ground. If he
had undertaken TO prove that the gold
standard was a curse to the country. that
free coinage of silver a rational REM
edy. he would inevitably have made weak.
ineffective speech. Instead he virtually
sumed that his audience conceded these two
vital propositions, and tickled his hearers
with caustic and yet not ungentemanlike
satire of opponents and bankers, topic
sure to enlist the sympathy and attention
of the crowd. In all the political contro-
versies of the past forty years there has
never been time when any party has been
in such pressing need as the Democratic
party now is of a candidate who knew how
to abstain from serious argument and how
to appeal most skiIfully and attractively to
the passions and prejudices that are often
more potent in determining votes than con-
victions. In giving such large space to the
most insidious and most powerful presenta-
tion of this new Democracy the Journal
has given those of its readers who care to
be fully informed the best possible oppor-
tunity for Judging of the utter futility and
baSeleSSncSS of q doctrine whose ablest eX-
ponent avoids argument as his weakest
weapon of attack confronts the over
whelming tide of history and experience
with evidence of the inconsistency of op-
ponents. and appeals to the cupiditv and
unsatisted cravings of human nature. If
he highest orato ical ability can do no no e
in defense Of policy that involves certain
national dishonor. what stronger proof can
we ask of its utter unworthness?

LABORERS FARED WELL
BETTER EMPLOYED IN INDIANAPO-
LIS THAN OTHER CITIES.
Growth of Improvements Has Caused
This-Advance in Price OF Flour
New Cabinet Works.

Said well-known contractor yesterday:
81 do not believe there is another city in
the Union where the day laborer has found
as steady employment in the last five years
as in IndianapoiS-yes. for ten years-for
before the extensive street and sewer i'm
provements commenced the natural gas
companies employed hundreds of men. To-
day five hundred men are employed in lay
ing the cement pipes for placing the tele-
phone wires under ground and il will take
until January, with good weather. to COM
plete this work. Then on the White river
sewer interceptor 25o more men are en-
ployed and this work will not be completed
until into the winter. On street improve
ments the force is not quite as large as in
the summer months, still at least two hun
dred men are now employed in this work
and a large number of teams. The water
works company has fully $50 men still at
work laying mains and will keep at it as
long the weather is favorable and while
the mechanic may have not had enough to
keep him at work steadily, the laboring
man who gets $1.25 to $3.50 d day has had
busy summer and fall.

An Unworthy Candidate.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
That great Democratic newspaper, the
Louisville Courier-Journal whose circGia-
ton penetrates the entire southern hale OF
our Union, proclaimed the truth when it
said: mo person of Mr.. Bryan's intellec-
tual and moral grade has ever been elected
President or has ever before been nom-
mated for that Office by either of the great
political parties This correctly sizes the
candidate who, in mental equipment and
character, falls far below the class always
heretofore considered worthy of the place.
If any one will scan the list of Presidents
from Washington to Cleveland. and make
an impartial appraisement. he will lind no
one who grades so low in intellect and pub
lie services. Mr. Bryan is fond of talk
ing about Glasses that he could not OBJ
ject to having himself classified.
The candidate cannot fall below the plat
form on which he was nominated. and. pos
sibiy it was made to suit his crude ideas
of morality In every civilized community
there will be found laws which are aimed
to protect people from the ravages of in
dvidual cases of highway robbery and pun
ishing those found guilty. The Chicago
platform advocates grand national '.hoId-
up by scaling debts to one-half their nom-
inal value. 1t is true the word robbery is
not used. but it names the method by which
the crime can be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
money worth half it's face. The free and
unlimited coinage of silver dollars at the
ratio of 16 to / can mean nothing else. The
creditor, robbed of his money by act
OF Congress, is helpless. but. if assaulted
on the highway by footpad, he may sue
cessfully defend himself. The men who adj
vocate the morality of that platform do not
favor individual robbery, but they seem to
think robbery by the Nation on a grand
scale is commendable. The free coinage of
deprecated silver dollars to enable dishon-
est people to scale their debts is bad
enough. but there are worse things in the
platform than that l instance the encour-
agement OF mobs like the Debs rebellion
