CLASSES IN AMERICA.
There Are Three-Those Who Owe, Who
Have or Who Want Dollars.

Have or Who Want Dollars.
Bryan speaks Of "the classes" in this
country. 1t is an unpopular term, since
1t suggests the existence in the United
States of the artificial social distinctions
of the old world. In different sense,
however, there are classes in this coun.
try. They are three in number-viz,
those who owe dollars, those who have
dollars, and those who want to get dol.
lars.
Very many Of those who owe dollars,
who have received and used good 100
cent gold standard dollars, would like
to pay their debts in SO cent dollars.
These would be repudiators naturally
support Bryan. Their position is logical
and sound, having reference only to the
benefit they expect for themselves
through the opportunity to cheat their
creditors which the triumph OF Bryan
ism would afford them.
Those who possess dollars are opposed
to Bryans election il they understand
their interests. Having through the self
denial Of themselves or their parents
obtained "a surplus, they do not want to
have that surplus, even though 1t be q
little one, cut down one-half The

Go not want those savings paid back in
cheap silver dollars worth only half
as much as those deposited. Such men
would be fools to vote for the reduction
or depreciation Of their little hoard of
savings.
Then there are the men who hope to
get dollars whose capital consists in
their broad backs and strong muscles,
their skill, their education, their ability
in any direction. These are the workers
in every walk of life-laborers, clerks.
mechanics. professional men. They
have their labor, their skill, their
knowledge, to sell, and no money is too
good for them TO receive. Why should
they vote to change the value of the
dollar in which they are paid from 100
cents in gold to 53 cents in gold? 1t

BRYAN'S INCONSISTENCY.
Defending the Income Tax, He Forgets An
Important Feature of His Platform.

Defending the Income Tax, He Forgets an
Important Feature OF His Platform.
1t will be noticed that Mr. Bryan
cannot resist any opportunity to repre-
sent well to do persons as seeking to
avoid their just and proportionate share
Of taxation, and as not entitled to pro-
lection from the government unless they
are made TO pay a special price for it.
The Democratic doctrine of equal rights
is unknown to Mr.. Bryan. Thrift, in
his view, lie an offense TO be punished,
an insult or danger TO those "toiling
massos" for whom good money is not
good enough. He is continually trying
to convey the impression that the we'll
to do are especially favored by the gov
ernmont in some way, and he appeals
to the hobo element TO vote for meas
ures which will hurt the money
changers. AS matter OF fact, Mr.
Bryan is engaged in n war upon proper
ty, and the income tax is only a detail
OF that war.
1t will strike most people that the old
argument in favor Of the income tax as
payment for federal protection to prop
erty is absurd, not Co say islpudent,
in the mouth of Mr.. Bryan. lie stands
proudly upon the Chicago platform,
which, in the part of il especially cal
culatcd for Altgeld and Debs, declares,
in effect, against federal Interference
for the purpose Of protecting the prop
erty of railroad corporations engaged
in interstate commerce or the property
which may be destroyed in transit over
such railroads whenever Debs or some
other friend Of Mr.. Bryan takes IL into
his head TO get up an insurection. Mr.
Bryan pledged himself by accepting the
nomination not 90 protect property un.
der suoh conditions. His defense of the
income tax as a species Of payment for
federal protection, therefore. needs 20 be

FoR HARBoR MA sTER.

There are number OF citizens who
would be glad TO secure the nomination
OF the Republican convention tomorrow
for the mayoralty. 10 be Mayor OF the
city OF Providence is an honor worthy
OF any mans ambition, and the chances
are particularly bright for the right man
in the present condition of public opinion
after year of the present inconsequentisl
administration.
There are a number OF good men, too,
VINO would be pleased to represent the
Republican party as it's nominee for
Overseer OF the Poor. II would he OF
the present ov,rseer 20 privare life and put

doubt II there are many available candi'
dates for the City Treasurership. although
there is no reason why the Republican
party ,f Providence should not put up
straight party ticket and elect a successor
to Mr.. GRANGER after the fashion that
he was elected to the Office by a straight
party triumph. But more than all Of
these, there are candidates enough to fill
the harbor for the nomination for Harbor
Master.
Nothing that was accomplished by the
rush and the roar OF the confused con-
dition OF politics that swept Mayor Nc

who ran on the Republican ticke: last
fall-Mr. CHARLES A. STONE. There is,
OF course, no question of his qualifca-
tions as there may not be of the quslld-
cations Of others of the candidates. But
Mr.. STONES defeat last year was brought
about by combination of circum-
stances not only as outrageous as those
that accomplished the defeat OF Mayor
OLNEY, but so ridiculous as to leave no
possible explanation of his defeat except
by discrediting the intelligence of somo
100 of his.fellow citizens who voted for

body's choice but his own, who repre-
seuted nothing put himself and who was
disqualified TO fill the Office had the far
cial voting been carried so far that it
elected him.
II is 10 be hoped that the Republican

nominate Mr. STONE tomorrow as a mat
ter of simple'political justice and. in order
that the citizens OF Providence may to
that extent pc afforded particularly fav-
orable opportunity to undo some OF the
mischief done last fall.

Charles Il. Anderson Of Dewitt. delegate
from the Fourth district, was born near
Albion. N. Y, June 30, 1865, residing on a
farm until 1881. when his parents moved to
Albion. He attended the public school at
that place, graduating in 1883. Shortly after
his graduation he became connected with a
large hardware store at Albion as delivery
boy. and through diligence and ability rose
to the position Of head bookkeeper, and
about two years a~fterward, in company with
his uncle, purchased the entire business,
which they carried on successfully for about
a year and a half, when they sold out. In
the summer Of 1887 he came to Dewitt, Ncb.
purchasing an interest in the Dewitt bank, OF
which he became cashier. and soon after
was elected president, and as such has sue
c~essfully managed its affairs, greatly %increas-
ing the business. the title of the bank now
being, however. the Dewitt State bank.
MIR. Anderson is president Of the Dewitt
Republican club, which numbers over 200
members. and in the campaigns of the past
has done very active work for the party,
He was one of the delegates from this state
to the national convention of Republican
League clubs at Cleveland last year, and
was appointed committeeman from this
state on republican national league work.
Ho was mentioned as a candidate for ths
position of national delegate only about toul
weeks before the convention ana the
enthusiastic support Of his friends in SALINE
county secured his selection after a CLOSE
and spirited contest.
Mr.. Anderson enjoys the distinction o.
being the youngest delegate from this state
He has always been a great admirer o.
William Mckinley and considers 1t thu
greatest honor of his life to assist in hi
nomination. and no delegate will go to thu
st. Louis convention with more zeal or en-
thusiasm for Mckinley than he.

gagged in farming. Attended the common

he was elected grand master of the Masonic
grand lodge of Nebraska. Has always been
