the Democratic party when they declar-
ed for free silver. Mr.. Rosenthal
read fran manuscript. He
went on TO tell that q dollar vas not
created By law, but was a creation OF
labor. The constitution, he said, made
no provision for making money The
government can put the stamp on that
which is worth dollar Nations, he
said. adopted gold as q standard Of
money because it huctuated less than
silver. What we need 10 make good
times is a more active circulation of the
money we have got.
In this manner did Mr.. Rosenthal
continue to make assertions for about
thrae-quarters of an hour without ever
attempting TO show that they were cor
rect statements. and consequently his
audience were not enlightened on flop
ping any more az the end Of his speech
than they were at the beginning.

HON. JOHN A. HOWARD AT BELLAIRE.
He Addressed a Magnificent Meeting for
Nearly Three Hours.


Nearly Three Hours
Last evening the Democrats and silver
men of Bellaire and vicinity turned out
in magnificent meeting, at the City
Hall. to listen 20 a comprehensive dis
cussion of the issues Of the campaign
by Hon. John A. Howard, of this city.
Hon. :. C. Tallman presided, and in
opening the meeting made rattling ad-
dress of about fifteen minutes, during
which he had a good deal of properly
apDr= ciated fun with the Bellaire indie
pendent. Mr.. Tallman has habit OF
commenting upon quotations from tho
editorial columns of the Independent,
which is wormwood and gall for the Re-
publicans of Bellaire, while il is currently
reported that. he editor of the indie
pendent don't sleep for several nights
before the date OF a speech by Mr.. Tall
man. and goes around with far away
look in his eyes for several days after
wards.
The attendance was immense. The
hall was not nearly capable of contain
ing the crowd. and even after Mr. Howard
had Ia ked for TWO hours they refused
% GisDerse, but met every proposition
10 bring the address to a close with cries
of Co on" A number Of Bridgeport
Democrats were present.
Mr.. Towards exposition Of the fnan-
cial situation was earnest. eloquent,
lucid and logical. Every point in this
intricate subject was made plain to his
hearers. and the educational feature was
predominant throughout One thought
no. often touched upon was as follows:
There can be no escape from further
issues of bonds II Mckinley is elected.
The government has no other means OF
getting gold. Mr.. Mckinley suggests
that he viii raise the revenues by in
creas;ng the tariff. but that will not IT,
suit in putting more gold in The treasury.
for the tariff is not paid in gold and if
importers were required TO pay in gold
they would simply exchange greenbacks
for gold at the treasury and then pay
the gold in al the custom house. We
are not on a gold basis. bur on a bond
basis. although the standard is gold
Further sales of bonds will be inevitable
if the Republicans succeed in this cleo
ton, and that means an increase in the
public debt in times of peace.

than counter-balanced by tho much
creator efficiency of tho better pnid
workers. The inventive genius and
ability to utilize natural forces OF tho
American mechanic or operative far
outweighs the difference between
wages hero and in Asia.
A sample of the ruin which the
modern Munchausens have been talk
ing about was statement that an
agent for a Japanese firm had landed
in San Francisco and was taking orders
for high grade bicycles ut twelve dol
lars apiece. The millions of Ameri-
cans who want to initiate Henry
George, Jere Simpson and Tom Reed,
by riding wheel, were thrown into
sudden fear lest they should BIO able
to get hold of good thing which they
could push along. But there was no
reason for clamor. The twelve dollar
bicycle story was hoax. Colonel
Albert A. Pope, an authority ON bicy-
Giles, pointed out that the materials for
high grade wheel would cost for more
than twelve dollars. To effectively
squelch the absurd invention no added
that his company is now selling large
numbers of bicycles in Japan at S125
each. The alleged twelve dollar wheels
only existed in the heads of the pro-
tectionist editors.
If the Japanese do learn to manu-
facture goods which we want We can
hardly expect them to give them to us
for nothing. If they sell them they
must take some of our products in ex-
change. This will give our workmen
wider markets, and instead of injur-
ing American labor, will benefit it.
Trade with any country is always
good thing. There need be no fear
that we will be injured by an invasion
of cheap Japanese goods.

to Brighten Timid Americans.
All other schemes for getting votes
for McKinleyism having failed, the
Republicans are trying to scare the
worlingmen with alarming stories Of
the dangers of japanese competition.
For several months past the pages OF
the protectionist papers have teemed
with warningfarticles on the s'Yellow
Peril, which, in the imagination of
able editors, is threatening the yery
existence of American industry. So
much fuss has been kicked up about
the matter that Senator Stewart, Re.
publican Senator from Nevada, has
brought the question before Congress,
and in doleful speech predicted all
sorts OF woeful things if some action ia
not taken to shut the products of
Japan out of our markets.
1t is doubtful if anybody outside of
the professional politicians and calam.
ity howlers has been scared by the
fact that Japan is beginning to intro.
duce modern industrial methods. It
is probably true that the Japanese are
q quick witted, energetic people. who
will be able to manufacture mauv ar
ticles on large scale. But that is no
reason why tho highly skilled Ameri-
can workers should refuse to trade
with the less efficient foreigner. The
fact that wages are nominally much
lower in Japan than in the United
States does not prove that the factories
of this country can be underso!d by
those OF Japan. For while wages may
be ten times as high, tho product OF
each Americans labor is moro than
twenty times greater than that of the
average Japanese. SO that the seem.
