heard proclaimed from stump and
platform in every political cam
paign as the ayowed mission of the
republican party. At St. Louis the
republican party declared in favor
of enhancing the price of gold, and
instead of extending protection to
the great silver mining industry,
absolutely resolved to discriminate
against it. The convention was
willing to protect the wages Of
those who labor in gold mines, but
it refused to extend aid and com
fort to the equally deserving class
who dig and delve in the country's
silver mines. Thut act was hostile
to the protective idea, and inso-
much was unrepublican. How,
therefore, can any republican be
expected in this campaign to
shout protection" of one Of tine
greatest industries Of the Nation2
And the democrats, they are not
needing the swish of tie party
lash. The corporation attorneys,
the railroad managers and owners,
the eastern bankers and bondhold-
ers, as well as wealthy classes in
all sections, who hitherto affiliated
with the democratic party, are re-
fusing to support Mr.. Bryan. In
deed, rump convention Of alleged
democrats made up of this sort Of
people has just met in indianapolis
and placed a third ticket in the
field for the avowed purpose Of de-
feating a man from among the
people. All this means that the
present campaign is not one Of
partisanship, but of principle. The
people are to vote on the financial
question, and tits alleged on both
sides to be 3 question of tremen'
dous Importance. 1t means that
among the masses as well as
among the classes, the ballot this
year is to be used with small re-
gard for the dictates of former
party affiliations and regardless o.
the selfish wishes of party bosses

MCKINLEY BILL AND WAGES.

The Mckinley tariff law went
into effect Oct. 6, 1890, and the
Wilson German bill Aug rs. 1894.
The first effect Of the passage of
the Mckinley bill was a general
reduction in wages in protected in
dustries. The World in 1892
printed several thousand instances
of strikes and lock k-outs in protect
ed industries that followed the en-
actment. Yesterday the junior
organ of the protectionists continu-
ed the tale of disaster to working
men under the Mckinley bill by
publishing the following as the
experience Of merely one protected
frm-the Cambria Iron Company:
LOSS TO woRKINGMEN.
There were $8S8,494 less wages
paid in 1893 than in 1892.
There were 81, $685. ,410 less wages
paid in 1894 than 1892.
The loss in wages in two years
amounted to $2,394,814.
LOSS to COMPANY.
The value Of the product of the
Cambria Iron Company in 1893
was $2,064, ,00D less than in 1892.
The value of the product of 1894
was $4,916,200 less than in 1892.
The shrinkage in two years
amounted to $6,980,200.-N. Y.

1T is WELL.

The present campaign is not one
of partisanship. 1t is not a cam.
paign in which the political boss is
supposed to gather up the partisan
whip, and lash veterans back into
the ranks. When, for instance,
the republican convention at St.
Louis declared for a single gold
standard it departed from old time
republican principles. To take up
product Of the United States, and
by legislation increase the price of
that product gave birth to, mould
ed destiny and made history for
tine republican party. To increase
by legislation the price Of every
manufactured product, and to in.

The Portland Tribune says:
Late last week clerk in the en-
ploy of the firm of Goldsmith &
Lowenberg, evidently acting under
orders Of a superior, asked all the
employees to sign a paper pledging
themselves to support and vote for
Mckinley. Some Of the men de-
INJURED, but they soon found it
was for their best interests to affix
their signatures to the document.
Two only absolutely refused to
sign, and told the young man who
was circulating the paper that
they intended to vote for Bryan.
One of the men, a tinsmith by oc-
cupation, says he is momentarily

WHO Is THE ANARCHISTS

The gold bug papers are taking
delight in denouncing Bryan as an
anarchist, 1t is known that Herr
Most, the leading anarchist Of
America, is out for Mckinley, The
stronghold Of gold bugism, Massa-
chusetts, furnishes the following,
clipped from the World:
LYNN, Mass, Sept. 27.-Res
Herbert N. Casson preached in
Lebor church today on the subject;
"Who is the Anarchist-Bryan or
Hanns2"
His sermon was prefaced by the
reading Of James Creelman's dis
patch to the New York World from
Cleveland some weeks ago on the
administration Of Mckinley as
Governor of Ohio, in which
it was shown that he nearly bank
rupted the state and was the friend
Of corporations, and of Hanna's
labor record,
"The real anarchist" said the
preacher, sis he who seeks to vio-
late the laws of nature for the
exclusive benefit Of a small faction
of the nation. During the present
campaign the epithet Anarchist
has been hurled at some of the
noblest and most capable men that
this generation has produced.
Bryan is caricatured, as Lincoln
was, as highwayman, as a bomb
thrower, and in a thousand differ
ent ways. Whether his views are
correct or not, who can deny that
he is a citizen of whom any nation
might boast? Compare him with
the gagged, imprisoned individual
who trembles in his mortgaged
house lest Hanna may foreclose;
compare him with the unfortunate
Napoleon who has already met his
Wellington and surrendered his
convictions, and it is plain to see
which best represents the princi-
pies of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
"The law-breaking, aggressive
spirit of monopoly has found a
perfect embodiment in Mark
Hanna. He towers above Nc
Kinley and above the republican
party-the modern Bluebeard, who
Stays his workers instead of his
wives. When Mckinley was
Governor Of Ohio Hanna was his
guardian and dictated legislation
from the Governors office. There
fore, it is, turning to Bryan's OPP
ponent, we look not at the servant,
but at the master; not at Mckinley
the most pitiable figurehead in
public life today, but at Hanna,
his owner and tyrant.
'Give Hanna four years of power
and he will paint the White House
black. He will discover that it is
cheaper to abolish manhood
suffrage than to buy votes. If
Hanna's servant is elected presi-
dent prepare yourselffor the worst.
1t will be the reign of King Stork
among the frogs. Hanna's enor-
nous corruption fund will be
recovered from your wages. He is
now trying to transform Old Glory
into the flag of an auctioneer SC
that he can hangit on the Statue Of
Liberty and advertise to the
money lenders of Europe: 'Fol
sale, America
No one can call Hanna un-
American. No A. P. A. can blame
the Pope in this case. Hanna is @
domestic product. He is one o.
the manufactured articles that
Mckinley wants to protect"

SAVED FROM An ANGRY COW.
Lively Chase of a Montana Man from
Sharp-Horned Bovine.

Lively Chase OF a Montana Man from
Sharp-Horned Bovine.
While a freight train was lying over
at a small mountain station in Montana
the engineer borrowed shotgun and
started for hunt. He was about re-
turning to his train when a COW made
her appearance Before he realized
that there was any danger the ANIMAL
made a rush at him, and he ran with all
his might. But the COW was a better
racer, and in few minutes caught him
by the clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent so as to be useless.
The next ten minutes, says the Boze-
man Avant Courier, were lively ones.
The COW chased the engineer round and
round the tree, and when he got a
chance to hit her with the gun barrel
it only seemed to enrage her the more.
1t was only question of time when he
would succumb to fatigue, when a di-
