WAGES UNDER M'klNLEYlsM.
Evils Engcndered by the Rule of Mo-
nopollsts.

Evils Engcndered by the Rule OF Mo-
nopolists.
Every workingman will appreciate
the force of what was said by Mr.. BrJ an
before the Building Trades council at
Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan told the workers that the
menace to labor to-day is to be found
in the increasing army Of the unem-
pIoyed. The force of the remark will
go home to every man who depends
upon his earning capacity aor his means
of livelihood. Increase thu number of
unemployed belonging to any calling
and the standing of the employed is
thereby threatened. The employer is
never slow to note the condition of the
labor market and to regulate his wages
accordingly.
Through the aid of their organizations
workingmen in this country have main
tanned wage which has enabled thcm
to enjoy reasonable degree of comfort.
But with a constant addition to the
ranks of the unemployed, labor unions
become ineffective.
In the interest of themselves and their
class, therefore, it is the duty of work
ingmen who are employed to prevent
those conditions which result in forced
idleness. Idleness, as Mr.. Bryan said,
is not inflicted on the human race by
natural laws or by the actrof the Crea-
tor. 1t is the result of evil legislation.
What has produced such vast amount
of idleness within the last four years?
Mckinleyism, which has built up mo-
nopoly, destroyed industrial competi-
ton, and, by such destruction, has ccn-
trolled not only the wages but the cost
OF the necessaries of life.
With the election of Bryan there will
be no class legislation, no favored in
dustries. There will be no corporations
receiving large bounties from the gov
eminent to make their business profit
able, so that they may be able to con-
tribute tn the campaign funds Of the re-
publican party four years later. All
dustries will receive equal encourage
ment. and, with the repeal of laws which
have contracted %he currency of the
country, there will be a period of pro-
perity in which every workingman will
have his legitimate share.-St. Louis Re.

THE OTHER SIDE"

Burns has been hotly assailed."

July Ladies' Home Journal. because
Of his alleged Indifference to his wife
(Jean ARMOUR, but the fact is he was
ardently fond of her. Jean was true
to him, and his true affection never
really turned from her. Jean worship
ed him-literally worshipped him.
And when we study her devoted life
we must agree that there must have
been much that was admirable in the
character of a man who was adored by
so true a woman. Burns biographers
have said too scanty attention to all
this. There is no use in apologizing
for the defects of Bobbie's life. but
there is such thing as insisting too
heavily upon them. Too much
has been made in the thousand stories
of Burns life of the Highland Mary
episode. and too little of what he real
~ left for Jean Armour, and of jeans
intense loyalty to him and devoted
care of him. The real facts about
Highland Mary will never be known.
They comprise the one episode OF
Burns life which is yelled in mystery
But one can study the poets life close
~ enough to see that the persecution
which in the early days seemed to
hopelessly separate him from love
drove him to Highland Mary for solace.
and that Mary's sudden death idealized
that Highland lassie in his memory.
There was not yauch more to it, and
Jean never trou led herself about it.
There has been a sad waste of popu-
lar sympathy over Highland Mary It
is to loyal Jean our thoughts should
turn. Bruins love for her and for his
children was very great. That is
pleasing picture of him handed down
by one who saw him Sitting in the

THE TWO-THIRDS RULE.

To the Editor: There should be no
difficulty about the repeal of the two
thirds rule by the Chicago convention
1t was adopted by a majority, and
what a majority does, a majority can
undo. 1t first became rule of the
Democratic party at the suggestion of
Mr.. Calhoun, early in the thirties. But
when Gen. Jackson came in, it fell into
what Mr.. Cleveland would call ''innoc-
nous desuetude" In 1914, however,
it came up again. Mr. Van Buren, was
the strongest candidate. He and Mr.
Clay agreed, and announced that
while they favored the annexation of
Texas, they thought it necessary to
conciliate Mexico, and thus avoid q
war, which they predicted would be
the result Of annexation, while Texas
and Mexico were at war But the
Southern friends of the measure would
not listen to the proposition to post
pone and negotiate. The convention
met at Baltimore. Mr.. Van Buren, was
not only the strongest candidate, but
he had a clear and decided majority
over all others When this state of
things became manifest General
Romulous NJ. Saunders, of Raleigh,
sprung the two-thirds rule upon the
convention. Mr.. Van Buren, had nomi-
nal friends at the North, who dared
not vote against him openly, saw the
opportunity TO stab him under the fifth
rib by voting for this two-thirds rule.
1t was adopted by q majority, and the
result was the defeat of Van Buren,,
and the nomination Of James X, Polk.

IT WOULD BE A FOOLS PANIC.

An extremely nervous feeling ex-
lists in the speculative markets over
the political situation, as evidenced
Yesterday and last week in the fall of
stocks There is some little cause for it.
The omens are not all propitious tor
vested interests. The silver forces have
been gathering in unexpected strength.
But more, 1t is vainly felt that the silver
demand is only an incident of move
ment of far wider and deeper signifi-
canoe than appears on the surface. The
apprehension exists that this cause Of
silver is serving rather a rallying
point for the masses of fAdicdiism
some time in the open revolt against
the so-called tyrrany of concentrated
wealth, but hopelessly disunited here
tofore. Thus regarded, the movements
may look formidable,
But it needs to be said right here that
in any event panic is a premature and
entirely umcalled for Wall street, as
sisted by the New York press, has been
talking itself into a highly nervous
state on exaggerated ideas of the effect
of free coinage. II has been picturing
to itself the worst disaster ever known
a financial system such as the world
never saw, the destruction of all busi
ness interests. and industrial anarchy.
Now we want TO say that the man is
fool who, ON any such idea as thar,
goes to foreclosing and selling AMI
throwing away his property in his
desire to convert it into gold. Free
silver has not come yet. But suppose
il is 10 come. What will this man gain?
Why should he forecIose his mortgages
when he will realize not in gold, but
in legal tender silver and paper now ex-
tant--in the very money be is seeking
to avoid How is he to compel payment
in gold. and if 1T is payable in gold.
how are his chances of getting gold
now improved over what they would be
after free silver came in?
And why should anyone dispose or
stocks or bonds or other property at
forced sale prices and convert the mon
ely into gold, when by an immutable
economic law gold. under free silver
coinage, would be the one commodity
in all the country to depreciate in
value? If any one doubts that, let
him recall the fact that it was proved
on the resumption of gold payments
in England after the wars of Napoleon.
and in America after the civil war.
that the premium on gold did not be-
gin 10 measure the full depreciation of
the currency-tthat, i'm other words,
gold out of monetary use is much
cheaper than when in--that conse-
quently it may be asserted that a given
amount OF labor would buy more gold
after the minis had been opened to sill
YER than before.
So we say shat in any event it is
fools panic that is being talked up,
and the men to engage in it, or to join
it will be the ones worst hurt. There
is no certainty as yet that the silver

DOESN'T TAKE THINGS SERIOUS.

young mans seriousness is ignored by
so many girls between sixteen and
twenty, and the company of giddy,

things seriously, and are not given

life: that only the bright, pleasant
side attracts them. at is only natural
that a girl of such an age the young
man of bright conversation, fiippant
and meaningless though that talk may
be, has an indefinable attraction She
would far rather have it that he can
dance well than that he can recite
Emerson to her. 1T is the dancing
time of her life, and not the Emerson

She likes the man better who pays her
a pretty compliment than the one who
says something serious x The
young man who pays her essaceful at
tentions is pleasing to her; she does
not seek to penetrate beyond the mere
compliment And why should she?
Young men are simply one form of her
amusement: she does not take them
any more seriously than she does any
thing else. The young man of present
able appearance. who dresses well and
has command Of the small talk of
society, is her girlish observation-disclosures

more he tlatters her, the better she is

man who has ambition. who studies
and learns. whose talk is sensible
rather than light. is bit tiresome to
her. She may admire his high pur-
poses so far as she can grasp them.
She may respect him. But If she is
going 10 a party she does not want
his company. She passes him by for
the other fellow who is graceful in the
dance. And is She to be PLANNED or to
be censured for this? Not a bit Of it.
While she is girl she does as a ma
