loss of protection also ranges from ~ TO oO per

THE MEASURE OF BRYAN'S DEFEAT
New YORK Press.


The Republican poll OF voters in Illinois es-
tablishes two facts that must bring rejoicing
10 the country. The first is that Illinois will
be Republican by an enormous majority; the
second is that neither the farmers nor the
wage-earners of this country have been de-
ceived by Mr.. Bryan's claptrap.
The poll for the State of Illinois outside OF
Cook County (Chicago) showed Republican
majority OF s5 900. Furthermore, the count
among worklngmen proved that they were
overwhelmingly for Mckinley, so that 1t is
confidently expected that the wage-earners OF
Chicago viii add vastly to the Republican ma
jority in the rest of Illinois.
The result of this poll in Illinois demon
strates what the Press has before pointed out,
and what it wishes to repeat with emphasis,
that Mr.. Bryan is so groteSquely weak can
didate that it is possible to make his defeat
not only disgrace to HIM and his following
now, but warning to all political adYen-
turers in the future.
The expectation of complete success at the
November election should not tempt Repubn-
cans and their allies to diminish their activity
and earnestness. Rather should the ever
Frightening prospects confirm them IN their
determination to wipe out the tree-colnage
band once and for all. Foreseeing defeat in
the coming election, the Bryanites are already
decaring that they propose to continue IN
future years their warfare against honesty
and honor.
Well. then, the people must see to it that
after November 3 the free-silver remnant will
not have strength enough even to call for help,
In order that shall be bic TO go about re-
storing the prosperity of our Nation without
fear of further plot and conspiracy the voters,
after they have beaten the silver forces, must
Gu them to pieces. They must convert the
defes into rout; they mus press the rout TO
a slaughter.

DoDGING THEIR PLEDGES.

Two candidates for the State Senate and
seven candidates for the Assembly, after
having received the nomination of the
Non-Partisan convention of this City on
an express and signed pledge to support
the new charter in the next Legislature,
have united in signing document de-
claring they will not keep that pledge
in the terms in which it was given. The
names of these men should be remem-
bered. The candidates for the Senate are

gene F. Lacy, John Allen. Eugene ]. Han

PROSPECTS IN THE SOUTH.

One of the best features in the cam paign
is the earnest fight that is being made by
the Republicans of the Southern States
For many years past the South has been
regarded as solidly Democratic. and little
or no effort has been made 20 carry any of
the States of that section for Republican
candidates. A very different condition OF
affairs prevails now. A strong fight wilt
be made for Mckinley in every Southern
State, and there are good chances of carry
ing some of them.
This favorable change from the former
condition of things is due largely to the
revolt of conservative Democrats from the
Chicago platform and to the personal pref
erence of many intelligent Southern men
to vote for Mckinley rather than to risk
the chance of the election of a man like
Bryan. Back of this feeling of disgust
with the Chicago ticket there is, more
over, in Southern business circles q con-
sciousness that the welfare of Southern
industries as well as those of the North
is dependent upon the protective system.
Many Southerners, therefore, are by no
means sorry to see the breaking up OF
free-trade Democracy, and are willing to
give the Republican party in their States
all the help they can.
The Republican National Committee is
doing much to promote the good cause.
The management of the campaign in the
South has been intrusted to Senator Quay
OF Pennsylvania and no abler leader for the
purpose could be found in all the Union.
Quay is peculiarly fitted for the conduct of
an aggressive campaign. He has achieved
more than one victory where it seemed he
was simply leading forlorn hope. His
management will inspire and encourage
Republicans throughout the South and
there will be no lack of vim and vigor in
the fighting all along the line.
While Senator Quay intends to carry
the war aggressively into every Southern
State he will make his main attack in
West Virginia. Kentucky, Tennessee and
Maryland. In each of these States there
is fine prospect of success. The ranks
of the bourbons were broken in all of
them two years ago and have never since
been strongly formed. Victory in one or
more of them seems certain. 1t is indeed
full time the Solid South were broken up,
and what better time for such breaking
up could there be than this year which
has sean the disruption of the party which
kept it solid?

GATOR ON DEBT-PAYING.

In his address at San Diego on Wednes-
day night Mr.. Gator, among other things.
is reported to have said: 'If they dump
shiploads of silver upon US let them
dump. We will coin it into money and it
will raise the price of all products, and we
can pay our debts with half the labor and
sweat that is expended now."
1t is difficult to say whether this state
ment is to be condemned most for its
folly or its dishonesty. If Mr.. Gator
meant to imply that the personal debts OF
Californians could be paid more cheaply
und er free silver he spoke either foolishly
or falsely, for almost all debts in this
State are in express terms made payable
in gold. If he meant to imply that the
National Government would pay in silver
what it promised in gold he appealed to
nothing more than such dishonesty as he
may have supposed to exist among his
hearers, and urged them to enter upon a
policy which could result in nothing less
than National dishonor.
The effect of silver coinage would
be that the producer would have to sell
his produce for silver, while be would
have to pay his debts in gold according to
the express contract. The workingman
would have to receive his wages in silver.
while the mortgage on his home would
still have to be paid in gold. The pro-
ducer and the workingman would be COM
pslled to buy this gold at premium, and
the payments which are now heavy would
then be well nigh insupportable and
ruinous.
There is much to be said for bimetallism,
and the abler and more intelligent advo-
Gates of that system have arguments for
it to which the whole world listens with
respect. But the advocates of the BRYAN
plan of free silver are presenting their
policy to the people in form which ex-
cites the mockery OF the intelligent and
the scorn of the honest. Mr.. Gator has
shown himself in his stump speeches to
be one of the least reliable advocates ot
free silver In the State. 1t is not certain
whether he speaks from an honest ignor.
ance, or whether, in his eager ambition te
be Senator, he believes he can deceive and
defraud the people by statements which
while they cannot be sustained either BY
among those who seek any sort of relic
from the hard times which they are un
dergoing.
We commend these words from his Sal
Diego speech to the consideration of hon
est Populists and conservative Democrats
Are they willing under any circumstance
to vote for legislators who would send tn

Mr.. Bryan may as well bid good-by to the

the next month. however, two things have
been proved again before the very eyes of our
people. One is that an enormous rise in the
price of a leading commodity can occur with
out any change whatever in the volume of
currency; the other is that the prices OF silver
and wheat have no connection or relation to
each other. On the opposite of these two
commandments have hung all the law and

If unfortunately the American people
should elect MIR. Bryan President no
tongue can describe the future. 1t
would be six m onths before he would
be inaugurated and six months after
that before the proposed silver legis-
Iation could be enacted. In the mean
time all obligations would be enforced /;
merchants would collect all outsrand-
ing debts in order to protect them
selves against deprecated money; de-
positors would withdraw their money
from the banks; the mills and factories
which are now in operation would be
closed, and millions of men would be
added to those already idle.-Hon. G.
