and cons Of the presidential campaign
four years ago. It must be fresh in
their minds that the Mr.. organs then
told them the markets OF the world
were to be the salvation Of the Ameri-
can farmer: that protection had al
WAYS been an injury to them. On the
other hand Republicans claimed that
our prosperity depended upon increas-
ing rather than lessening our home
markets, that reducing the consuming
capacity. of our wage workers would
reduce the profits of our farmers.
After the organs had put their theor-
les into practice. or so much of them
as they were able what was the result +?
Who told the truth then, the Bryans or
the Republicans? Where are those for
eign markets? Where is the wealth
that was to pour in upon the agricul-
tural communities when the Bryans got
their ideas into working order? why
are not the Bryans of today referring
with pride to what they have accom-
plished? Why are they so silent about
the beauties of their free trade notions
in operation? Why are they trying to
blind the eyes of the country to the
evils they have wrought by kicking up
this free silver dust? Is this to be the
second consecutive time the people are
to be fooled?

PRESS COMMENTS.
How il Would Help the MonopoIies.

1t is the peoples cause against the
monopolies and local difference of po-
litical aspirations ought not to pre-
vent that union" Thus writes Arthur
Sewall to the chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee of North Caro-
Ina in a letter favoring the fusion OF
the Democrats and Populists of that
state. When did Arthur SewalI be
come the champion of the people. as
against monopolies? And how will the
substitution of a cheaper dollar for the
present dollar tend to help the people
and hurt monopolies? Monopolies are
generally large employers of labor.
VIII it hurt them to be able to paw
their help in dollar of less PURCHASING
power? Monopolies control the pro-
duction and supply generally of articles
OF necessity-such as sugar. oil. beef
and the like. What monopoly will be
hurt by having prices put up as MIR.
Bryan proposes to? VIII the sugar
trust be hurt by rise in sugar? VIII
the Standard Oil Company be struck
down by rise in Oil? Will the dressed
beef trust be smashed by an advance
In the price of beef? Could any one
conceive of a more idotic way of help
ing the people and hurting monopolies
than by cutting down wages and put
ting up prices? And yet that is the
Bryan-Sewall plan. That is the way
Mr. Sewall proposes to help the poor
man and smash the money power.

Popocratic dissemination of campaign
literature, since which time the distri-
button Of that particular circular has
been abruptly stopped:
'But Mr.. Cleveland and the freetrade

the right to place any tariff restrictions

err products of our Asiatic neighbors The
same party further declares that all

tous tax upon the people for the bene-
fit of our protected manufactures.

Matthew Marshall, the well known
writer on finance, in a recent article
calls attention to the part the legal
tender notes have played in increasing
the gold reserve for depicting which
they had formerly been the instru-
ments. He says: THE large deposits
In the United States treasury, in ex-
change for paper currency, of the gold
recently imported, have swelled the re-
serve to $124000. 900. or $24, 0OO, 900 more
than the $100,000000 which, by persistent
mis-statements has come to be re-
garded with superstitious reverence as
the smallest amount consistent with
the maintenance of gold payments.
rms conclusive proof that the legal
tender notes are not the mischieyous
instruments for depicting the treasury
reserve that they have been repre-
scented to be, and that they serve at
tunes to replenish is quite aseffectually
as the sale of bonds does, and much
more cheaply. has. as yet, not received
