Massachusetts, War Governor Criticised
the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bryan has done we'll to call at.
tentlon to the inconsistency of the Re.
publieans i'll denouncing the mild criti.
cism OF the supreme court by the Chica.
go convention.
He himself has referred to the atti.
tude and utterances Of the Republican
party in the beginning Of its existence
with regard to the decisions of the court
on certain questions. The mine of Re.
publican denunciations of the supreme
court in connection with decisions on
the slavery question is almost mex
haustible. The Republicans believed
then that the people had a right to in
terpret the constitution and to record
their interpretations in laws. 1t was
Their boast for years that the people had
reversed the supreme court.
In 1860 Governor Andrew of Massa-
chusetts, running for governor on a Re-
publican platform which branded "as a
u%surpation the opinion given by men,
bers OF the supreme court" declared:
The Constitution of the, United
states is no hidden thing; its scrip
lure is of no private Interpretation.
1t was made by the people, for the
people; 1T was adopted by themselves,
and upon 1t they established their
government Will II one dare to
say that the people do not and cannot
comprehend that instrument? No,

New GOrk and New Jersey.

William E. Sackett, author of "Mod.
ern Battles at Trenton" "a we'll known
political writer in New Jersey and New
York and a firm believer in the single
gold standard, said to a reporter for the
Washington Post:
Il am astounded at the progress the
free silver men are making in New York

the ~ delegates who went from New
York to Chicago firm in their convic.

international agreement could be effect.
ed 40 OF tnat number returned to their
homes converted to the free coinage of
silver platform of the convention? Of
the 20 delegates from New Jersey 1e
returned declaring their intention to
work for and support the free silver
plank. They declared this not SO much
because they deemed it their duty to
abide by the action of the convention,
but because they had become redhot
enthusiasts for free coinage. Today they
believe in it as firmly as they believed
in gold a week before the convention
WA held.
The most astonishing thing concern.
ing the rapid strides of free silver in
these two states is that it is in direct
opposition u an almost united press in
each state. The newspapers are almost
a unit in opposing free coinage, many of
the Democratic papers being even moro
rabid in their denunciations of it than
the Republican papers; but, notwith-
standing, the movement is growing
and growing so rapidly that it will not
surprise me in the least if the electoral
votes of New York and New Jersey are
cast for Bryan and Sewall. ! have Just
made a trip through each of these
states, and I found everywhere outside
of the large cities an enthusiasm for the
free coinage of silver that has startled
me. The friends Of sound money will
have hard work to counterfeit this grow.

A Word About Trusts.

The talk about using the minis for
the benefit of millionaire silver mine
owners is a good thing if it helps to
make it clear that the paltry $50, OO0,-
600 a year, the gross value of all silver
mined in the United States, is less than

THE RUMOR FALSE.
Marcus DAILY Says There Is No Truth
in the Report That Miners Wages
Will be Lowered.

Will be Lowered.
!. Marcus DAILY, general manager o
the Anaconda Copper NJ. company
arrived in Butte on yesterday after
Moons train from Anaconda, saws the
Standard of Both ult., and remained
over night. He was seen by a Stan.
dard reporter last evening and ques.
toned in regard to the associated
press dispatch sent out from Denver
Saturday to the effect that the Ana
conda company has given notice of
reduction Of miners wages on Dee.
lst from $3.50 to 50 per day.
at is not true" said Mr.. DAILY.
"Wages are not to be reduced on
Dec. ], and SO far as | know theirs is
no immediate danger Of a reduction.
realize that possibilities might at
some time arise which would lead
the mining companies of this section
to reduce wages. had apprehend-
ed that silver would, in all probable
ity, take a serious fall after election,
but the result of the election has
thus far had no material effect on
the price of silver. Copper also re-
mains strong, and | believe | can
safely assure the people of this COM
mnnity that with copper and silver
at their present prices there need be
no fear Of a reduction in wages.
II have often stated that the wag.
es of the miners employed by the
Anaconda company would not be re-
dnced SO long as I should be man
ager of the company. In the face
of this statement of mine, which I
have never withdrawn and shall not
withdraw now, it does not seem to
nc that ! should have been called
on to make this denial. [ am still
manager OF the company and have
not changed my views on the sub
ject of miners wages. / believe
my personal views on this subject
are we'll known. Nothing is better
for any community than to have it's
workingmen we'll paid. Good wag-
es constitute II very material ele.
ment in a city's prosperity. 1t will
be unfortunate, indeed, if at some
future time failing prices for the
metals we produce shall necessitate
a reduction of wages by mining
companies operating here, We
will ali hope that such action will
never become necessary and / can
see no danger at this time of such a
calamity. "a
"lhe Anaconda company has the
best organization that is to be found
anywhere west of the Missouri river.
No company on earth has on the
whole a more loyal, faithful and eff
cient body of employees, The SER
vices of these men during the past
years are sincerely appreciated by
me and are appreciated as we'll by
the company. IF this false report
has occasioned disquietude or uneas-
mess among them | am very glad
indeed fog their sakes to make this
denial, and consider it but Just to
them to assure them that | have re.
celNed no knowledge of a proposed
reduction of wages and that ! don't!

plation.
