of the American Bank at New

ever known. The president
and vice president of the bank
were associated with a Mr..

day. in an outside firm of bro

BRYAN WILL WIN,
Viii Garry Every State West
ofthe Mississippi.

Tho published statement from
Secretary Morton, now in Ne
braska, that Bryan would carry
the electoral vote of that state
and also of every state west Of
the Mississippi river was start
ling news to the Republican
leaders here.
While this is not conceded,
yet coming from such a source
as Secretary Morton the state
ment has created an immense
sensation in Republican cir
cles.
1t has been known for some
time, although kept very quiet,
that Nebraska was strongly for
Bryan and that the expected
sentiment with the farmers for
Mckinley, which had been con
hdently predicted at Republi-
can headquarters, had not ma.
terialized, but it was not antici.
pated that Secretary Morton
would give up in such pro.
nounced manner. 1t is intima
ted, however, that he took this
course to prevent his immedi
ate friends here from riskine
their money in betting against
Bryan.

JONES AND TELLER.
They Agree That Illinois and the Middle
West Are for BRYAN,

They Agree That Illinois and the Middle
West Are for Bryan.
Senators Jones and Teller held an
important conference this morning
relative to the State of Illinois.
Senator Teller reached Chicago
shortly after breakfast, and at once
repaired to headquarters of the
national Democracy. He had Just
returned from tour of this State.
Both OF these gentlemen, in COM
pany with Clarence S. Darrow, went
over the situation thoroughly. They
were of the opinion that the Repub-
lican claims for this State are ridic-
ulous in the extreme. Pencils and
paper were produced, and for some
time the gentlemen were busy
figuring. They took as a basis the
Record postal ballot, the Democratic
poll and the poll of the Republicans,
which Senator Jones has in detail.
tlii Jones Predicts Victory.
No figures on the result were Civ
en- out to- day, for obvious reasons,
but Senator Jones summed up the
situation as follows:
ut is ridiculous to presume that
the Republicans have the grounds
for claiming this State. No matter
which way we turn we find evidence
that not only this State but the en-
tire middle western section will give
regular landslide for Bryan. On
the face of the Record ballot, which
has been boycotted by the bulk of
the Bryan vote, we have made
sufficient gains to indicate that Hi
nois will be swept by us to the tune
of more than $4,000 majority. But
we do not base our claims on such a
tlimsy fabric. We know positively
the sentiment of the people.
II am conservative in declaring,
therefore, that Illinois is absolutely
safe. l am equally sure that Cook
county will show, Nov. 3, at least a
round plurality for Bryan, and 1 am
justified in saying that the true con-
ditions in Iowa, Indiana and Michi-
gan warrant the same predictions. y
Senator Teller, who was present,
joined in the conversation. II
heartily agree with everything that
Senator Jones has said, (" he declared.
"I have made the conditions in this
State among the Republicans a
special study, I have been all over
it. / have just dug into the con-
ditions existing, and / feel safe in
indorsing every word uttered. Hi.
nois will give Bryan its vote by a
majority which will be little short
of an avalanche. The whole country
is red hot for silver, and the com-
mon people will not stand by and
see their cause defeated. The Nc
Kinley people are not treating the
public fairly. We are certain of the
victory, not alone in this State, but
throughout the entire country

The Railroad Vote.

The HERALD has contended all
along that the railroad men would
vote as they pleased, and, further,
that they would please to vote for
Bryan. Evidence of that accumu-
iates daily. Anew days since, an
observing man, who has been work
ing among, railroad men, gave the
HERALD the benefit of his observa-
tiOns. His experience has been with
the 'gravel train" boys, as 1t were
among the freight trainmen and
section lhands. In the last six
weeks he has been up and down the
road from here to Louisville several
times. He has been one of them
and ENTHUSIASTICALLY knows
whereof he talks; and he says that
Bryan will get three fourths, proba-
bly, four-fifths, of the railroad train
men. How it is among the office
force, he does not know so we'll, but
he is confident that Bryan will get a
majority of these. More than this,
he has taken special pains, between
Nashville and Louisville, to inquire
about Kentucky, and he says that
it is foolish to put Kentucky in the
doubtful column, that it is absolute
ly safe for Bryan by an easy ma
jority that along the route he has
been all the country people and an

folks are for the silver champion

Not to submit to n Government by Cor.

Themselves.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Chairman Jones'
address of warning to 1.-THE American
People," was given the press to-
night on behalf of the Democratic
National Committee: DIV
I'm view of the fact that the great
corporations, with scarcely an ex-
ception, and many of the larger
employers of labor in the United
States, are engaged in a coneen-
trated effort to coerce their employees
into voting at the approaching cleo
ton against their own convictions, l
deem it my duty to call upon all
those who believe in the supremacy
of the law and the untrammelled
freedom of the individual In the
right of exercising the ballot, to use
their utmost effort to prevent the
success of this most fragrant act of
lawlessness; for if this conspiracy
succeeds, government by corpora
tions will have succeeded govern
ment blythe people. "a 0nUN .t
,TThe corporations which thus APP
peal to force and fraud strike at the
very foundation of Republican
Government, and the lovers of free
institutions must arouse themselves
to save the country from it's great
peril. Especially should the work
ingmen assert their manhood rights.
If they vote their convictions, and
in accordance with their interests,
the Democratic ticket is certain of
election, and in that case the en-
ployIng corporations will have no
desire to embark upon policy of
punishment. tl ulua Taef s

THE perpetuation of this at

vent the possibility of repetition of
such attempts hereafter.

Weighed and FOnnd Wanting.

An old Christian woman in the
Kweiki Church spent twenty eight
years of her life as Ni-ku, or nun,
in Buddhist temple. She had an
adopted son, who frequently came to
the gospel hall in Kweiki, where he
learned to love and trust the Savior.
1t is seven years ago now since the
young man began to carry the
strange, glad story which he had
learned to the poor temple nun. AS
she listened, her interest was
aroused, and she inquired more
about the gospel. At last, being de-
termined to test the matter, she
went into the temple, and, bowling
in worship once more, she told the
idols that she wished to know
whether she might break her vege-
tartan vows or not. For three nights
she slept-Or lay awake-On the
hard, cold stones before the idols,
waiting for a dream or a vision. The
idols were utterly silent, however,
and on the fourth morning she ad-
dressed them thus: "P'u-sa (gods),
/ have washed your faces for twenty
eight years, and l have been faith
full to you, and now in my time of
need you cannot help me, so / have
done with you."-China's Millions.

The worlds product from 1886 TO

ton have been the most persistent.
The worlds product from 1886 TO
1898 was as follows in value:
Silver ,....,.., Sl,737,01S, 100
GoId .,...t,.......,...,. 49,. l,3S2852, 400
Or 56 per cent. of silver and A per
cent. of gold. This, certainly is not
flood of silver, as its production is
but little ahead of gold.
To counterbalance the slight ex-
cess of silver during those ten years
the coming decade will, without
doubt, show an excess of gold, owing
to the new cyanide process Of treat
ing low-grade gold ores and the re-
cent discoveries of extensive gold
fields in South Africa, Utah, Cripple
Creek, Alaska, British Columbia,
and other parts of the world.
If, now, it is unfair to take. as a
test either single nation, or a short
period, it is doubly unfair to take
both a single nation and a short
period. But to satisfy curiosity and
the most critical opponent of silver,
we will make the contrast in that
way, viz: The single nation, the
United States, for short periods of
ten years.
During the past ten years, 1885 to
1895, the products in this country
were as follows:
SllVer.'.r ..:'....> .....,..'.... .S669,80l, 900
Gold observation-disclosures. 300 100000
Or So per cent. of silver and 80 per
cent of gold. u
To counterbalance this excess of
silver we will make the contrast for
the ten years 1851 to 1850: The pro-
ducts were: ,
Silver ,'........,....... .......$ l,l0oOO0
Or five hundred of gold to one of sill
yer!
This test ought to satisfy any rea-
sonable man that there is only one
fair test and that is the whole world
and long periods of time.
In view of the above facts, and
they are all from official or other
standard sources, and have been
stated in the fairest possible manner,
we must conclude there is no such
thing as flood of silver, either in
the world, the United States, or the
transmississippl country, The allie
cation is simply an, Eastern delu-
sion. 1t has, however, been most
effectively used to fool the people,
and, regardless of official facts, the
cry "a flood of silver" an "alarm-
ing overproduction of silver" the
''cheap metal,n "why not copper,
iron, or COW money!" will continue
to be used by the advocates of the
single gold standard.
But, as Abraham Lincoln said !:
you can fool some of the people all
the time; you can fool all of the PEG =
pie some of the time; but you can't
fool all of the people all of the time. F"
