FACTS ABOUT MONEY.

An intense Bryanite had a veteran by
the collar, yesterday pouring into his ear
the lesson he had learned 1.-THE country
has not money enough to do it's business .
he declared. And yet nine-tenths of the
real business men of the country are con-
tent with the present standard and the
supply of money it affords under ordinary
conditions.
What nations have the most money.
those with the gold standard or those
using silver only? Put this question to the
Bryanites who are continually chattering
about the money per capita. They will not
answer. probably because they do not
know. Here are the answers: The per
capita circulation of the world is $5.15. The
per capita circulation of the gold countries
Is SIS. The per capita circulation of the
silver countries is not quite 400. The gold
standard countries have per capita CT
of the silver countries which have no gold.
Another interesting fact is that under
the free coinage of gold and silver in 1900
the United States had a circulation lit
tie less than S. per capita. Now we have
a per capita circulation of S21 10.
Further. the gold-standard countries
with less than one-third of the population
have nearly two-thirds of the worlds mon
ey circulation.
In view of these facts, no man of sense
will be led to vote for silver on the ground
that it will give the country more money
on anybody's say so-not even Mr.. Bryans.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1896-10-09

An interesting feature of this campaign
are the midday sound-mopey meetings
which are being held in many cities. They
are a very effective feature, too as they
bring out short, practical presentations of
the money question by men who have
gained their knowledge by experience and
v no are not theorists. agitators or place
seekers At one of these meetings in De-
troit a few days ago a speaker called at
tention to the fact that the building in
which they were assembled, one of the
finest in the city, was not built with the
money of wealthy men. but with the prem
iums paid largely in small amounts to the
New York Life Insurance Company by
men of limited means who. by dint of in
dustry and denial, hoped to provide for
their families at their death, and that free
silver would practically compel the COM
pany to pay its policies in a debased cur
rency.

INDIANA NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Business will begin to hum just as soon
as the people dispose of Bryan and the
other enemies of good times.-ConnersV1lle
Times.
Mr.. Bryan is either very ignorant of the
money question, or he is willing to use
sophistry and juggle with words IN order
to hoodwink the people.-Richmond Item.
Bryan's Indiana demonstration was a tai
low candle to arc light compared to
the Greeley demonstration in 1872. Still
greeley was defeated q, 515 by Grant that
ear.-Greencastle Banner-Iimes.
Indianapolis honored itself by declining
to array itself in holiday attire in honor
of Bryan's visit. He is at best nothing

Mr., Bryan's speeches in Indiana have
revealed the desperate condition of his
mind more nearly than when the same
words were uttered at remoter points.

THE BRYAN MORALS.

The code of morals which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces for himself was set forth in his
speech at Philadelphia, Sept p, as follows:
There is one party-no, it is not party
1T claims to be party, th6ugh-Which puts
up one ticket IN order to elect another.
advocate one thing when I mean another.
| am too dignified to nominate one ticket
for the purpose Of voting for another ticket.
/ am too dgnified to practice deception
upon the American people.
For myself" says the promoter of the
interests of the silver trust, II am too dig
nified to advocate one thing when mean
another" But when he addresses another
class, to use his own words, it is very diff
ferent. He cannot be other than straight
forward and dignified. but he advised the
mass of wage earners, in a speech in Ken
ton, o., to be hypocrites in the following
language:
I have had men tell me they We're under
compulsion TO join Republican clubs and
wear the insignia of Republicans. Let him
wear the opposition button if he WILL Let
him take his name from the club list If he
must. Let him contribute to the campaign
fund If he will, but let him remember that
there is one day in the year when he is his
own master and can use his pencil as he
pleases. / am willing for you to be Repub-
licans every day in the year If you will Just
be Democrats on election day. / am willing
for-you to wear the gold bug buttons for all
the rest Of the time if, when you enter the
booth, you will remember that the gold
standard never conferred a benefit, etc.
Mr.. Bryan would not like to remember
that he had said one thing and done an
other but when it comes to thousands Of
men he advises them to play the hypocrite
and the liar because they are coerced AS a.
matter of fact, the mass of wage earners
know that they are not coerced by those
who employ them, yet Mr.. Bryan assumes
that they are, simply that he may advise
them to live for months knowing that they
are acting a part which he declares for
himself he lis too dignified to practice"
Wherein is Mr.. Bryan better in any way
than the millions of men who work for
wages and salaries that he advises them
to do thing which he declares he regards
as hypocrtical and false?

BRYAN TO PENSIONERS.

In the remarks which Mr.. Bryan made
to pensioners. Tuesday, he admitted that
If the country should pass to silver basis
their pensions would be deprived of some
thing of their purchase power. His init
will vote to cut down their own pensions.
1t was the policy OF Hoke Smith to de-
prive those of pensions who, in his judg-
ment, We're not entitled to them, and to
reduce such as his understrappers believed
to be larger that the recipients were enti-
tied to. But here comes Bryan with a
proposition to reduce the purchase power CT
every pension by having the Nation go to
silver basis! Where thousands of pen
sioners We're deprived of a few millions by
the Hoke Smith regime. Bryan proposes
to practically cut down every pension by
paying them in deprecated silver dollars
If the Hoke Smith policy was infamous.
then there is no word which can adequate
ly express the crime which Mr.. Bryan pro-
poses AT the present time $11 900, 900 are
paid out annually as pensions in Indiana
1t goes to help 10000 men and women,
many of whom are very poor and very
feeble. These eleven millions of good mon
ey keep thousands from the poorhouse
and are of great value to the trade of In
diana But here comes the travelling agent
of the silver-mine barons and says these
pensioners are not patriotic unless they
vote TO reduce their own pensions. And
for what purpose? Simply that a few hun
dred silver-mine owners many of whom
are worth from ten to forty million dol
lars shall be permitted to take 80 cents
worth of silver bullion TO the minis and

Mr. Bryan favors the Journal by tele-

nearly as great rise in the price of con-
tracts for later months. Mr.. Bryan may
not have heard of this advance in wheat
We venture, however, our prediction that
many Bryan orator, repeating Bryan's
words on the Western stump this fall will
hear from his audience the ominous in
terpoiauon: What about wheat and
CORN? The orator will not say the truth
by answering that the chief cause of the
rise is shortage in the foreign crops be-
cause If he answers thus, he is well aware
that the 'dearer dollar sophistry must
cease. In short, since the advance in grain
the free-coinage orator even on the farms
must devote his energies to explanations

ment which now makes up the substance

was prepared and forwarded. Mr.. Carlisle

THE NEW REBELLION.

| The war of 1876 was due to the deter
| mination Of portion of the American
people to break up the old government and
establish new one on lines more to their
| liking. In pursuance of this determination
eleven States seeded from the Union and
two or three others tried to do SO. 1t took
the greatest war of modern times to pre-
vent the success of the movement and
bring the States back into the Union The
war resulted in the abolition of slavery
which had been it's prime cause, and in
settling forever in the negative the ques-
ton of the right of a State to secede from
the Union. Tt is not likely there will ever
be made another attempt to break up the
government or change its form in that
way No similar attempt can ever be made
in greater force or pressed with more per-
sistence and greater bravery than the one
which failed in 1se1-s5. But there are other
ways of revolutionizing a government than
by war. ITO reject an established govern
ment," said Daniel Webster, in one of his
great speeches, ito break up a political
constitution is revolution" It is possible
for this government to be revolutionized
through popular suffrage and without any
resort to actual violence 1t might be done
with ostentatious show of following
methods. 1t might even be done under pre-
tense of reforming the Constitution and
improving upon the work of it's trainers.
This is the kind of revolution foreshad-
owed by the platform which Mr.. Bryan
stands and by his speeches. Mr. Bryan has
not the military instinct. He is not 1.-The
man on horseback" There is no danger
of his leading an army, but he can sway
mob His election would mean great
deal more than the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. Behind that stalking horse
comes threatening procession of other
political changes. Some of them are fore
Swallowed in the Chicago platform, some in
the Populist platform of 1892, whose presi-
Genital candidate Mr.. Bryan voted for;
some in the Populist platform of this year,
On which he stands; some in the Populist
platforms of Southern States, where he has
his greatest strength, and some in his in
cendiary speeches. The changes which are
thus threatened foreshadowed are not
merely changes in administrative methods.
but in the organic law, in the powers of the
executive, in the organization Of the judi
CARY, in the functions of Congress- in the
use of the military arm of the government.
and in the whole scope of governmental
action towards railroads, telegraphs and
corporations generally, and towards capital
in every form. When the changes thus
threatened and foreshadowed are accom-
plished the government will have been
revolutonized completely as If it had
been overturned by war. The changes that
Will have been made in the Constitution
will be more radical than those contained
IN the Constitution adopted by the Confed-
crate States in 1851. The election of Mr..
Bryan would be the beginning of revo-
luton which, unless arrested by a popular
reaction, would end in complete change
of our form of government. Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy is nothing less than new re-
belion.

GEORGE DU MAURIER.

The death of Mr.. George Du Maurier will
bring a sense of personal loss to the many
thousands who have found pleasure in his
two novels, Peter Ibbetson' and
.'Trilby.' It is impossible to separate the
personality of an author from his work.
and when the work meets with popular
favor he shares that approval A part of
the charm of the stories named IS the man
ner in which the writer seems to enter into
confidential relations with his readers and
to be relating the tale because be enjoys
the telling and knows they would enjoy It.
He preached a cheerful philosophy, too and
showed a charity toward human foibles
with appreciation of true manliness that
could only have been reflections from his
own nature and which endeared him to
his public. Regrets have been expressed by
his admirers that he did not begin his lit
erary career earlier, but the novels he has
written the outcome of a long and in
innate acquaintance with the world, and
are mellowed by wisdom that only ex-
perience could give, SO that it is not worth
while to lament the nonexistence of books
which must have lacked that ripeness of

their attraction. The regret must be that
he did not live longer to give to the world
more of his vivid photographs of life. The
book he has just completed, and which has
begun as a magazine serial, will be read
with a. sympathetic remembrance of the
author-a pleasure tinctured with pain.
Whether his books will live is not a ques-
ton for friendly or unfriendly critics to de-
eide, nor is it important. 1t remains true
that they have given pure enjoyment to
many people in the present, and that Du
Maurier himself would doubtless admit.
