THE RAILROAD DEMONSTRATION.

TIL demonstration of the railroad men
last night in this city was the most i'm
posing in numbers and enthusiasm that
has ever beef seen in this part of the
country. 1t would have been an immense
outpour If all the political clubs in the
country round about had been massed in
this city. When it is emembered that it
is the demonstration of the men in one in
dustry to show their determination to sup
port a. financial policy. it is not only with
out precedent, but it IS a marvellous thing
to contemplate. The railroads employ many
men. but they are scattered over the
country in a manner which makes even
the massing of any considerable portion
a task of great difficulty. Nevertheless
they came In such numbers that their
passing filled the streets for more han an
hour. and their cheers filled the air.
Doubtless the Bryanites will attempt to
belittle this demonstration, but the tens
of thousands of people who gazed at the
pageant know that it was a demonstration
which has never been surpassed in num-
bers and enthusiasm in this city, The
spectators realized that it was an unprece-
denied protest of a great body of intelli-
gent wage earners against a financial pol
Icy which assaults their interests. 1t is a
fitting answer to all the chatter about
coercion. 1t is a clear and emphatic dec
~laration that the great mass of the wage
earners in this part of the country are
going to vote for sound money. The dem
onstration is distinct notice to the silver
mine trust that the great body of in
telligent men who work for wages I'M
derstand their purpose and will resist it at
tho polls as a policy has mover before
been resisted in this country. 1t shows
that the tide is running toward sound
money with a force which cannot be
checked by appeals to prejudice or by
fakes,

HARRISON AND THE sILvERITEs.

The fact that in his message Of Decem-
Der, 1890, General Harrison attributed the
advance of prices to the passage Of the
Sherman purchase act appears to give
great satisfaction to many silverites. They
esteem him so able q statesman that they
quote his few words on the subject as
something infallible. Turning from the
empty words of Mr.. Bryan, they evident
ly find courage and confidence in the
words of General Harrison. 1t Is an en-
~couraging indication. If these sudden con-
verts to the political acumen of General
Harrison will note from a careful reading
of the whole message that he speaks of
'impulsive legislation in the supposed in
terest Of silver" meaning free coinage,
they will be wiser. If they will turn to his
message of a year later-1S91. they will
find a paragraph On the silver question
which begins as follows:
1 am still of the opinion that the free
coinage of silver under existing conditions
home and abroad. We could not hope to
maintain an equality in the purchasing
own markets. The producers of the coun-
try, its farmers and laborers, have the
highest interest that every dollar, paper
or coin, issued by the government shall
be as good as any other. If there is one
less valuable than another its sure and
constant errand will be to pay them for
their toll and their crops.
The Journal submits the above to a class
of silverites who seem to nave come 10
put much faith in the words of General
Harrison. They are besought to retain
their lively confidence in the wisdom Of
the ex-President. If they will but do it,
they will no longer spend their time in
promoting the scheme of the silver mine
owners, but will go forth to refute their
own heresies.
If these persons will take time to ex-
anime the matter they will see that Gen
eral Harrison attributed the better prices
to the expansion of the currency. by the
issue of treasury notes in payment for
silver bullion at it's market price. Prac-
tically the expansion was an expansion on
the gold basis. In times of general pros
perity, when industry is active and bust
ness is brisk, the expansion of a sound
currency to be used in business is always
advantageous. 1t was not silver which
seemed to improve prices late in 1890 and
in 1891. but confidence to use 4 surely in
creasing volume OF money. To such an
expansion the Republican party stands
pledged. It's bimetallism is the only BIZ
metallism there can be under present con-
ditions, namely, TO adhere to the gold
standard, and keep all the gold possible
and use all the silver which can be used
without imperiling the gold standar and
destroying confidence In our ability to re-
tain that standard.
There is yet room in the sound-money
,apES for tboSa Silvarifas who ba1-a rooapt-
ly displayed so deep an interest in the words
of General Harrison. All they have
to do is to broaden their faith in the wis
dom Of the ex-President and practice all
his precepts on the money question.

A COwARDLY BETRAYAL.

1t is small wonder that the nominees on
the Popocratic State ticket are indignant
and inclined to rebel against the action
of Chairman Martin, Governor Matthews
and their advisers in carrying out their
plan OF fusion with the Popu-
lists. The history of American politics re-
cords no more cowardly betrayal Of the
interests of a set of candidates than that
instanced by the action of the Popocratic
managers, when, in the hope of securing
the votes of the Populists for ten Bryan
electors they sacrificed the last remaining
chance for success hat was left to the
nominees for State offices. 1t is a we'll
known fact that a written agreement had
been entered into between representatives
of the Popocratic and Populist State COM
mittees and a representative of the Popo-
cratic national committee thai no fusion
deal should be consummated in this State
that did not contemplate the withdrawal
of the Populist State ticket With this I'M
Outstanding the candidates on the Popo-
cratic State ticket paid their as
sessments, have borne the brunt of the
Bryan campaign in Indiana and made such
an organization as exists. And yet, in the
hope of securing the Populist vote for ten
Bryan and SewaIl electors these men are
practically abandoned by the very commit
tee tina they have sustained and sup
ported. No sane man will believe that
with the 5000 or more Populists in this
State voting for the nominees of their own
party. the candidates on the Popocratic
State ticket have the remotest chance of
success. Most of them are at heart against
free coinage and the Chicago platform, and
yet, after having given 1t their Endorsement
and their money they find themselves
abandoned and thrown into the sea in
order that the demands of the Bryanites
and free-silver howlers may be satisfied at
opportunity to maintain their party integ-
rity. to maintain their standing as a party,
by voting for their own State candidates,
and at the same time contribute to the
success of the Altgeld-Tillman candidate
by voting the fusion ticket on presidential
electors. 1t is as certain as fate that there
are thousands of original Democrats in
ndian who might have voted a straight
ticket under q Democratic emblem who
will positively refuse to vote a ticket made
up of Populists and Democrats, and will
therefore stamp the eagle in their resent
ment or turn nauseated from the voting
booths and refuse to vote at all In any
case the State ticket Is sacrificed-doomed
to certain defeat 1t is not only without
hope, but apparently without friends. It's
candidates have been betrayed by the very
people whom they have intrusted with
their cause. Mr.. Bryan national commit
tee, Governor Matthews, Chairman Mar
tin and their colleagues have wrought a
wreck and none appreciate it more fully
than the Popocratic State candidates.

A e OF RAsCALs.

OF the many forgeries-and they are
many-which the Bryanites have concocted
TO deceive the public. none has been so
extensively paraded as a series of extracts
attributed to the London Financial News.
First there appeared an extract purport-
ing to be taken from the issue of that pa
per of March 10. 1896. 1t first appeared con-
spicuously in the Omaha World-Herald. of
which Mr.. Bryan was then editor-a paper
which those who know best about the mat
ter declare to be controlled financially by
the organization OF the silver mine owners.
That article was headed, The Grip Of
Gold" The editor of the Omaha Bee has
frequently charged that this particular
forgery was written by William Jennings
Bryan. As Mr.. R~osewater. the editor of

The State Department has received a dis
patch from United States Minister Baker.
at Managua, Nicaragua, in which he says:
United States, al invalid soldier, who had
shortly heretofore drawn a back pension
or some $4,000 in United States gold. came
to one of the Central American States to
climate upon the disease from which he
was suffering. AT that time gold COM
manded a premium in the country to which
he came of 81 per cent. After his arrival
he entered the banking institution of the
town In which he had concluded to stop
and arranged to deposit a sufficient amount
of his gold to net him $4,000 in the curren-
cy of the country, the basis of which was
and Is silver. He carried away his certih-
cate of deposit, feeling rather good that,
although it was for full $4,000 and bore s
him semi-annually, it had cost him a lit
tie less than S.. 800. He continued to draw
his interest omp for four years with
much satisfaction. not having been dis

vanced to a. point threateningly near dou-
BILE that of silver, making his deposit
worth but a trife over half of its face

would no longer pay interest to deposit

the bank desired, or leave it for safe-keep-

he was able to purchase 81, 731 In gold.

his mutations of the utterances of Lincoln
and other men, that the Bees charge is
true. The Sound-money League of Phila-
delphia has deemed the refutation of this
forgery of sufficient Importance to publish
facsimiles of every page of the Financial
News of March &c, 1896. in addition to the
double refutation of the editor of the
News.
When the forgery of March 10, 1886. was
exposed these desperate forgers of the sill
yer mine conspiracy attempted another. An
extract was taken, as alleged, from the
files of a clipping agency, purporting to be
an editorial of the Financial News of April
30. 1894. 1t was first exploited in this vi
cinity by the Cincinnati Enquirer as an
alleged fac-simile. Subsequently 1t appeared
In the Sentinel and other satellites of the
Enquirer. 1t has been used as a circular.
1t set forth that Great Britain would be
very lpwise if it permitted the United
States to adopt free silver coinage. OF that
article the publishers of the Financial
News say that the portion of 1t used by
the forgers of the silver trust is an ex-
tract from a speech delivered by Senator
Cameron, and that it was the subject of
u~nfavorable ommen in their paper. The
portion of Mr.. Cameron's utterances
printed in the Financial News can be
found in the peroration of the Senator's
silver speech delivered in the Senate April
IS, 1894. which appears in Volume &c, page
$500 of the Congressional Record.
The Journal never attributed any impor-
lance to the alleged quotations of the
Financial News even If they were. true,
but these hired forgers of the silver trust
seem to hold an exaggerated estimate of the
value of a British opinion. These forgeries
are alluded to once more to call attention
to the rascality of the whole gang of men
who are employed to prepare the litera-
ture OF the silver mine trust.
