They talk to US of the security Of
private rights and property. these
preachers of platitudes and distorters
of truth. We of the true Democracy
see private property in the humble
home or the little farmhouse, and If
either be burdened with a mortgage
we insist that private rights are exc
crably outraged by a monetary sys-
tenn which exacts two bushels of grain
to pay for one, two days labor to earn
the bill that stood for but one days
work when borrowed. All rights are
not comprised in the demands of the
great moneyed corporations. all prop
erty is not bonds and mortgages and
evidences CT debt. all law is not for
the protection of the creditor, for the
advantage of corporations. for aiding
in the concentration of wealth.-New

can workingman suddenly transplanted
to France would find it very difficult to
make the two ends meet; but the
French workingman suddenly trans
planted to the United States will profit
by the change, and be slow to adapt
himself to the better scale of living.
When he does, of course. he ceases to
offer his labor at the European rate.
All which confirms us in the convic-
ton that the American wage earners
ought to stand with that political or
ganization that advocates a policy that

DU MAURIER.

The death of Du Maurier removes
erary lights that has ever flashed upon
the world. An obscure artist at first,
then a caricaturist who for long years
dealt in no other form of expression for
the consideration of others, suddenly,
and without the slightest indication OF
special capacity in that direction, burst
upon the reading world with a roman
tic creation that won its laurels at one
bound and crowned itself with a bays
that hung exceedingly high.
BY a single effort the caricaturist
made himself famous the world over as
a dramatic novelist, since his effort In
1891, Peter Ibbetson" did not give him
the prominence gained by ''Trilby,
though it created much surprise. 1t
would be interesting and agreeable to
analyze the story of ''Trilby," and
search out that which has made it more
than popular, and has won the applause
and sympathy Of the English-speahng
world, but we may not now indulge in
OlTGCIlOu. IL LII LIZ
present to merely call attention to the
remarkable fact that this social carica-
turist, always original. always pleas
ing, and always witty, was beyond mid
die life when at the suggestion of a
friend he attempted to write, and then
discovered, as much to his own surprise
perhaps as to the astonishmend of the
literary world, that he was remarkably
gifted, and was possessed of a wholly
original style, captivating and dra-
matte as have been only the very few
in this or any other century.
Not that Du Maurier was SO great a
romancist as to entitle him to a first
place among the mighty masters Of lit
erature, but he was at least a brilliant,
marvellous luminary in the heavens OF
letters, and all the more so because of
the suddeness Of his appearance and
the attainment Of success without
treading the hard path that leads up to
excellence, as a rule over and through
the stony ways Of labor, patience and
years Of striving.

turer rough-shod, charging him with an
attempt to intimidate Yet these same
opposition advocates claim the right,
and 1t is their right, to address the
same wage earners and solicit them to
vote with them. But why, if they may
exercise this right without being abused
and stigmatized, may not the employer
also address the men and advance rea-
sons why they should stand with his IN
terests because they are mutual with
those of the workers? Can any Bryan
lite give a satisfactory answer? II the
employer had remained silent, and have
privately asked his men to consider the
wisdom and rightfulness of the cause he
espouses, the opposition would have said
that he was intimidating the men. When
he speaks to them in the open they
charge that behind his appeal Is the
covert threat. What in the name OF
reason will satisfy these political scan
dal-mongers who claim to absorb all the
virtue of the country, and charge their
opponents with possession of all the
chicane and meanness?

MADE CLEAR AT LAST.

Judge Walter Clark, an ardent sup
porter Of Mr. Bryan, comes out boldly
IN the last number Of the North Ameri-
can Review" and defends and explains
the plank in the Chicago platform con-
corning the Supreme Court. He out
lines the changes he and his party col
leagues would make in the court.
His statement runs that the plan is
to break down the present system Of
life tenure and appointment and SUBJ
stltute for it an elective Supreme
Bench, becuse, he contends, the people
should exercise their right to guarantee
a victory had at the polls by making
this branch of the Government depend
ent upon their sovereignty.
Without this change, he adds, the
claim Of power by the court to abrogate
legislative acts and restrain executive
illusory.
This is very frank, a great deal more
frank and honest than anything Mr..
Bryan has said upon the subject. JUS
ticeC Clark of North Carolina should have
public thanks for the boldness with
which he has laid bare the intention of
Organism.
1t Is, therefore, no longer secret or
a suspicion that the Supreme Court of
the United States is to be made, not the
interpreter Of the Constitution, a check
upon unconstitutional legislation and
"a
authority, but simply the reflection of
the dominant party as it rules. Thus
we will have the court change with
every shifting political breeze, and
tack as this, that or the other party
comes into power. A pleasant prospect,

ing between supposed classes in this
country; to separate, divide and arrav
classes and fan flame of hatred and
conteHtion. There was purpose in this.
and 1T has been followed UP ever since
in the Bryan speeches. He is appealing
to class prejudice, and is doing his nj
most to realize the prophecy of the en-
emies of American institutions that
they will some time fail by the banding
together of the poorer people to demo,-
Ism ana drive out the prosperous and
thriftful. This is, as an Eastern con-
temporary remarks, the first time in
the history that any candidate has
taken the stump to promote an effort to
put that theory to the test on large
scale
The record-union., 1896-10-11

Mr.. Bryan has distinctly and clearly
stated that under his system the United
states mints would be open to all sill
ver Of all the nations of earth. Il would
shut out none; let them all come" he
exclaimed in one of his New York
81 eeches- Now then, IL as he says the
demand to be created by free coinage
in the United States Is to be such as to
bring silver to par and to advance it to
81 70 II follows inevitably that the value
CT gold would not be lowered, since it
would for speculative reasons alone all
go out OF the land. So, too, the silver
demand to be created by free coinage
must be sufficient to bring all the silver
of all the world up to par for as all sill
yer is to be admissible, all silver would
have by the demand made bv the
United States to be lifted to par. that of
India, Asia, China. Russia, France.
Mexico and South America, as well as
all we produce in the United States
But this must be done in the teeth Of
another fact, namely, that the declara
ton of free coinage by the United States
would be the same as the withdrawal Of
the gold support now propping up S625,-
100000 OF silver in the United States.
now kept at par with gold. So we con-
ciude. with Professor Laughlin, that to
declare for free coinage without bind
ing the other nations to it, driving out
gold, as 1t VIII do, and removing the
support from beneath the silver we
have, involves a task that Is simply. i'm
possible, namely. lifting silver to par by
the free coinage lever.
The record-union., 1896-10-11

1t Is remarkable fact to which at
tention is called by many critics that
in his letter Of acceptance Mr.. Bryan
paid but momentary attention to the
subject Of free coinage Of silver. 1t was
only barely referred to. and not at all
elaborated. The whole tendency and
labor Of the letter was to enkindle Seal-

Here is what is said by a man now
much in the public eye and thought:
l want to state, as emphatically as
words can state, that 1 consider it as
false in economy and vicious in pol
icy to attempt to raise at high price
in this country that which we can
purchase abroad at a low price in ex-
change for the products of our toll.
That was William j. Bryan in Con-
gress.
Here is what another man said often,
and early and late, and recently, and he
tco, is much in the public eye, and a
great deal more in the thought of the
people:
The home market is the best friend
Of the farmer. It~-is his best market
It is the only reliable market 1t is
his own natural market. He should
be protected in its enjoyment by wise
tariff legislation, and this home mar
ket should not be permitted to be de-
stroyed by leSsening the demand for
American labor and diminishing the
pay of American workmen, and there
by diminishing the demand for agri-
cultural products.

the words of William Mckinley

If Mr.. Bryan did not willfully lie in his
speech at Charlotte, North Carolina he
blundered as only a stupid man can
There is a third possible position for
him-he deceived by the telling Of the
half-truth, whether Willfully or stu
pidly we do not undertake to say. What
he said was that the recent circular Of
Secretary Carlisle showed that the cir
culation has fallen off from 81 $50, 900, =
600 in 1894 to 81 ,601 900. 900 in 1895, and
to 81 ,506, 100000 in 1896. But he did
not state as he should have done to
make the truth Of the matter clear, that
the total amount of money in the coun-
try had been reduced during the same
period from 81, APO, 000, 900 to 81, ,345, 600, :
600 because Of the repeal of the pur-
chase clause Of the Sherman bill Both
Of these facts appeared side by side in
Mr. Carlisle's circular; they are related
facts dependent facts, and not to be
rudely separated, or at all, without Sc
rious injury to the truth.
