long as the present tariff is running the
country into debt at the rate of 1,OOO,
600 a day it is a good thing to have re-
pealed. They do not believe that the
treatment of a vast and growing dehc1t
is outside the realm Of practical and
necessary politics. Mr.. Bryan apparent
ly does. To the idle operative who wants
nothing more than to have the mill or
factory which once employed him open
its doors again so that he may support
his family as he did in Mckinley times,
the assurance that the tariff question is
puerile comes with very little force. TO
him it is the political question of all
questions. 1t concerns his bread and but
ter. BY the taxpayer who finds that the
government has put lien on him for
twenty years for the payment of interest
on quarter of billion dollars, which
would have been collected through the
custom houses Of the importer of foreign
goods if the Mckinley law had been kept
lnstact. the Bryan sheer at the impor-
lance of the issue is poorly appreciated.
Likewise the retailer, the tradesman, the
professional man and the laborer-all
these, after four years of reduced bust
ness and incomes and uncertain work be-
cause of the hard times, know of no more
important issue than that of starting the
wheels of industry and business once
more in motion.
1t is useless to tell the thoughtful and
ulScefnlnG voter that the desired effect
could be had from a mere change in the
standard of the currency, leaving the
general economic conditions as they
were. No form Of money produces pros
perity unaided. AS for free silver, moth

cry of business after the machinery had

closed by free trade competition. Pro
lection would have to be used for that.
There must first be some means found
OF putting more money into circulation
before an extra volume of either gold,
silver or paper can reach the masses,
and if there is any better way to do
this than by making it possible for
American industries to put their ole pay
rolls into force again, experience does
not suggest it.
In a word, to have a return to pros
perity we must first repeal the tariff
law which drove it away and the re-
store the law which produced it. There
is no other recourse, and, in spite of all
that Bryan may say about the ''insig-
nihcance' Of the tariff question, it looms
up before every discerning eye as the
issue of real moment in this canvass

Chicago, H., Sept. 21.-At a mass
meeting called by D. L. Moody today in

people the following resolutions were
adopted:
To the Christian Citizens of the United
States: We in common with large num-
Der of our fellow citizens Of every religious
creed believe that our nation is in the thrces
of great conflict portending the most Seri-
Gus consequences. unless there be the
merciful interpretation of the Divine hand.
We believe this to be true independently of
any settlement Of the present political con-
test one way or another On the one hand
that mysterious factor known as public
confidence is declining, as illustrated by the
depression i'll both financial and industrial
circles, while on the other, political class
and even sectional feeling is running I'M
usually high, and likely to become intenser
the day of election draws near. Not
only is 1t true that questions requiring the
most careful and diSpaSsionate consideration
are very likely to be determined i'll many
instances in the heat of passion but after
their determination the results may prove
baneful over wide surface, and for a
heightened period. We would not view the
situation, perpleXing and forebOding as ii
is outside its relation to the mind of God.
We believe III His presence and agency
among US. He is the governor among the
nations and will be entreated of his people.
But we believe this to be time for Chris
tian patriots to follow the example of our
forefathers in earlier crises which have
confronted us, and praS unitedly to Him
that keepeth covenant and mercy for
them that love Him and keep His command
ments," that He would visit us with es-
pecial grace.
We therefore affectionately invite and
earnestly urge our Christian fellow citizens
throughout the length and breadth of our
land irrespective of denominational or po-
litical utilization to join with us i'll observing
Thursday October 8. as a day Of fasting,
confession and prayer to Almighty God that
he will allay passion and restrain evil among
us, that he will strengthen faith and inspire
hope, that he will impart wisdom and be-
stow patience and that he will forgive our
iniquities as nation and grant us His
salvation.
We would further respectfully recommend
that in addition to the gatherings held in
the usual places Of worship on that day.
union meetings be arranged for in the aft

Where is the Demand?

Mr. Bryan, after weeks of cogitation,
has at last answered the question, "Why
will an act Of Congress make 90 cents
worth of silver bullion worth dollar?"
He says uproariously that the enormous
demand for silver will make it dearer;
but he fails to show any demand The
holder Of silver bullion can take his
money to Washington, but the govern
ment will not buy it. The mint will
stamp Il dollar, but the moment the gov
eminent ceases to redeem its obligations
in gold on demand that moment the sill
yer dollar will buy but 80 cents worth of
products. Nobody who has gold will
care TO exchange it for silver, dollar for
dollar. Where, then. will any demand
come in? Nowhere except on the part
of a man who wants to pay a dollar of
debt with 80 cents worth of silver bull
lion. Is it upon that demand Mr. Bryan
relies for the success Of the free silver
movement? If So his campaign is one
for reputation. There can be no 9TH
er demand, SO either Mr.. Bryans cam
paign is founded upon reputation or de-
fusion. In either case, does he think it
worthy of the support of the American
people ?-BOSton Advertiser

THE EMPTY DINNER PAIL.

AS I sit here idly dreaming
or the happy time that's gone,
Not dollar in my pocket,
And the winter coming on:
The thing that breaks me no the most,
And makes me feel small.
Is the sight of that old dinner pail
Hanging on the wall.
I've carried that old dinner pail
For fifteen years or more,
And it never me out of work
Or destitute before.
For with shops and factories running,
And the best of wages paid,
prosperous lot of fellows were
The dinner pail brigade.
But you see we wasn't satisfied,
Though it seemed most mighty strange,
And we said we thought the country
Would be better for Il change;
And we rallied about the tariff,
And we blowed about free trade,
And we voted Democratic.
Did the dinner pail brigade.
Well, a change was what we wanted,
And we got it too. you bet;
For the shops and factories ali shut down,
And left us in the wet;
The banks suspended payment
And ] lost my little all.
And the dinner pail is empty now,
That's hanging on the wall.
I'm dependent now on charity
For the roof above my head;
And I've seen my wife and little ones
Go hungry to their bed
But I've plenty of time for thinking,
And l see It. isn't il strange?
For / voted Democratic
Just to have a little change
Yes. we voted Democratic.

TYNAN'S LAST APPEAL.
He Urges Ambassador EuStis to
Prevent His Surrender to
the British.

Paris, Sept 21.--The United States
ambassador to France, James 3. Eustis,
has received letter from 2. J. p. Ty-
nan, the alleged dynamite conspirator,
now in custody at Boulogne, dated Sep
TENDER Is. lyman wrote that he arrived
in the United States in March, 1883,
that shortly after England demanded his
cXtraditiOn and that the United States
refused it on the ground that the offense
alleged was purely political. In April.
1888, lyman continued, he was natural
lied by Judge DAILY. He now resides, he
wrote, with his wife, children and two
servants, in a villa on the Hudson, and
he referred to Judge Fitzgerald and
Judge Roger A. Pryor as his friends.
Referring to his presence in France
at this time, lyman states that he left
New York on an European tour and that
upon being informed that he was shad-
owed by Scotland detectives he travelled
under an assumed name and went to
Italy, Belgian and France and was
booked to return to New York by the
Saale, sailing from Cherbourg on Sep
TENDER 30.
Further, lyman pledged his honor
that he had not taken part in any af-
fairs of a political nature while in
France and that he had not done any
thing beyond the ordinary sightseeing
and observation of an American tourist.
He appealed to Mr.. Eustis to inter
cede with the French government not
to surrender him to England, as such a
surrender, he adds, would mean certain
death to him.
In conclusion, lyman wrote: 81 am
sure that the gallant nation that Irish
men gave FontenOy to bazon on their
banners will not help England by my
surrender If you will graciously urge,
your excellency, upon the French gov
eminent, you will not only receive my
thanks but that of the millions Of Irish
men all over the globe"
Mr. Eustis Immediately notified the
French government of the receipt of the
American citizen. The British embassy
here has not yet received from London

ton and the French foreign office re-
fuses all infOrmatiOn

The Ventura (CaJ.) correspondent of

lowing:
Ventura contains within it's borders
one smart Acknowledged Monaghan. who
is farseeking beyond the average of his
by no means Teak-minded brethren. In
conversation with the Times correspond
ent yesterday he intimated that Bryans
election would be in tho nature of
blessing to Chinese merchants who keep
4 weather eye open for the main chance.
In support of this theory (which, coming
from & Chinaman. seemed stranger. the
heather outlined the following scheme
which to him looks like ready money:
You see, Mexican dollars are for sale
in Ventura banks for n cents. Sup
pose | buy $1,000 worth. hold them I'M
til Bryan is elected, melt them down and
send them to the mint in San Francisco

ed / can use them for China trade with
no loss. If Mexican silver don't go up
in price after Brgan's election l can
put my $4,000 back into Mexican dollars
and double my money again. Bryans

Farmers Not Fools.

The farmers of this nation are smart
enough to know that a monetary sys-
tenn that would be good for them alone
would not be good for all the people.
Therefore, when the Democratic speak
ers tell them that 50-cent dollars will
raise the price of their wheat the
farmer is Intelligent enough to know
that the statement is intended to de-
ceiYe, for currency that will raise
the price of one thing will also raise
the price of another. But while the
farmer and merchant would be marking
up their stocks, the laborer will Dlod
along at the old wages. Experience
teaches these statements to be facts.
Then suppose they mark up their prod
ucts and their wares. Who is it that
supports the merchant and the farm
er? Is it q privileged class, who live
only TO spend money-the earnings of
someone else? No; not in this coun-
try. Our iabOring masses support the
great stores and the farmers, and when
they are at work at wages that Amer
leans ought TO receive, the merchant
and the farmer enjoy good times. Of
what benefit would a raise in prices
of goods and products be then to the
farmer and merchants unless a full ra-
no raise would come to the Iaboring
man?
The Courier might answer this bv saw
ing, Let the iaboring man strike for his
rights and get them. But can the Couri-
er vouchsafe to the laboring man in gen
eral any more success than it achieved
in his strike for his rights against the
Courier? Would it not result in each
instance in a year of idleness. and a
complete shut out so far as securing
work under old employers is concerned ?
Lahoring men generally think SO, wheth-
er the Courier does or not. They are
thinking for themselves. They are COM
pairing the times they enjoyed during
1892 with the present Wilson bill times.
