PROF. BATEMAN
DispIeased With Senator Al
lens Notification of SewaII.
Says Nomination Was Either Colossal
BIunder or Dark-dyed Crime.
II He Remains on Ticket 1t Means Populisi
Party's Annihilation.

Lewiston, Sept. Ill. c. Batcman
Auburn. Populist candidate for Cover
nor, in Mondays election, and secre-
tary of the National Populst notifica-
ton committee, is dissatisfied with
Senator Aliens notification of Bryan
of his nomination for President by TIN,
populist party. Mr. Batcman was in
tervieWed, this afternoon, by a repre-
sentative of the New England AssOci-
ated Press. He said:
The recent election in Maine should
be sufficient to convince the entire
country that the nomination of Arthur
SeWall was either a colossal blunder OF
I. dark-dyed crime Until lately | have
been inclined to believe that it was the
former, but it certainly now looks as if
it was deliberately planned and eXecu-
ted as crime. The presence of SeWall
on the national ticket resulted i'll the
practical annihilation of the Demo
cratic party in this State. If he re
mains on that ticket after this morn
ing, ii will inevitably result in the ami
hilati0n of the Populst party.
Senator Aliens letter of notification
| To Mr.. Bryan is a farce. 1t is on a pan
with all the other doings of the men
who are trying to sell out and disrupt
the Peoples party. The senator is not
enough of a politician to carry out his
| scheme. He has oVcrdone the matter
and simply made himself a laughing
stock The Middle of the Road men are
| for the most part delighted at his bung-
| ling work.
Think for one moment of the idea
| of telling Nh Bryan that We are Will
ing ia support him but do not expec,
anything from him in return; that W.
don't expect him to believe in any
thing We do but are simply pining f0l
a chance to vote for him entirely re-
sardless of any platform of principles
that we are more than willing that h
should use us for spittoon. as w,
have no dignity of our own to preserve
This is the sum or substance of Senator
Aliens letter.
After we get done laughing over the
senator's mess, we shall quite likely
| take some steps to find out whether Mr.
Bryan accepts our nomination ana oul
platform of principles At st. Louis al
of his friends urged that we should
nominate him as he was Populist and
believed in all our principles We want
now to know whether these statements
We're true or false. We propose TO find
out and shall do SO whether it is agree
able to Senator Allen or not We %
not propose to thrust our services up
| on any man who does not want them 90
who is ashamed of our principles We
only ask for fair treatment and that vs.
propose to have

ROOT OF THE TROUBLE.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Price has steadily fallen in this country
since January 1891, when the country was
on the crest Of the wave of prosperity
due to the Mckinley tariff. Price mas
fallen because consumption has been re-
duced. Bradstreets table OF prices
shows that hides and leather are the only
articles higher than then. On the aver
age. taking ninety nine articles OF lead
ing consumption. prices are 1881 per cent
OF the prices ruling January l. 1891. The
| twin reasons are plain. Tarin agitation
has destroyed consumption. Factories
have been closed or are running on short
time. The rate Of wages has not been
greatly altered. but their regularity has
been impaired. All classes in the COM
munity, beginning with factory opera
tives and going out in wider and wider
circles, have reduced consumption. and a
very small reduction in price will pro-
duce a very large reduction In price. In
addition the expansion Of the country has
been abruptly checked by doubt as to the
currency. Railroad building Is a third
Of the average and sixth Of a full year.
The entire work OF developing new prop
critics has been stopped until men know
in what dollars their returns are to come
in. These two causes have reduced con-
sumption on vast scale, and reduced
consumption has reduced prices. The way
to restore prices Is not to double dollars.
but to double current industry by restor-
ing protection and giving currency a sound
basis by electing Mckinley and Hobart.

Cause and Effect.

The New York World remarks: "a
Republican candidate for congress in
Pennsylvania accepts the nomination
with the assertion that the tariff and
not the currency is the main issue.
This is not the way to win sound money
Democratic votes to Mckinley. With
out a large accession of such votes 1t
is now conceded that th- Republican
ticket cannot be elected"
By whom is this conceded? We have
heard of no such concession. The Re-
publicans won the congressional cleo
tions of two years ago without the help
of the free traders, and the case in their
favor Is even stronger today than it was
then. The Republican party has never
intimated to anybody that it would in
this campaign swallow it's convictions
on the tariff question: and if some OF
our Democratic friends have assumed
that it would they have done so on their
own responsibility.
The Republican candidate for con-
e.ress who calls the tariff the main issue
speaks the truth, whether he live in
Pennsylvania or in Florida. in Maine or
Texas. When the tariff was right the
money system was right. too, and pros
perity was general. Just as soon as the
one was tampered with the other got
out of order. Consequently it would be
absurd to say that the effect Is the
cause, when every sensible man knows
that it isn't.
Restore protection and the money
problem will solve itself.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-08-10
"The Republican party stands
for honest money and the chance
to earn il BY honest Oil.'
WILLIAM M,KINLEY.

The Chicago Times Herald now joins
The Tribune, in emphasizing the tariff
as really the chief issue. 1t truely says:
"Incre ase the tariff so that it will yield
adequate revenue and protect languish-
ing industries and the gold reserve will
stand above the natural limit and capital
will seek new channels of profitable VEN
ture. furnishing employment to thous-
ands Of idle men, thereby creating new
markets for the products of the soil at
prices that always follow a brisk de-
mdnd." Under adequate protection our
present money would again as formerly
prove the best in the world.
