NOT LINCOLN'S STYLE.

From now on Bryan and his follow
ers will doubtless have little use for
the silver question, and will turn
their attention in vain endeavor to
lnclte the passions of the people and
turn labor against capital. But they
can't do it. The people of this couu-
try are too intelligent for any such
scheme. This is not a country of
classes and the Popocrats with their
wild screed cannot make it so. The
history of the past which is the best
guide for the future and that shows
that the poor boy of today is the pos
slble rich man of tomorrow, while
the rich man of today is just as liable
to be the poor one of tomorrow. IN
der such conditions there can be no
such thing as classes and in their
work OF trying to excite the passions
OF the masses, it should be remembered
that Mr.. Bryan's friends are fond of
comparing him with Lincoln. But
there is no comparison between them
whatever. Lincoln was not a man
who in any way melted the passions
OF men and turned them against
their fellows. On the other hand he
said: '"That some may become rich,
shows that Others may become rich,
and hence is just encouragement to
industry and enterprise. Let not
him who is homeless pull down the
house OF another, but let him labor
diligently and build one for himself;
thus, by example, assuring that his
own shall be safe from violence when
built" Mr.. Lincoln most severely
condemned anything looking to in
cite one class of men against another,
and his whole life is standing re-
buke to the cause and policy of young
MIR. Bryan in his desperate attempt
to climb into the presidential chair
by stirring up discomfort among the
masses.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
A Forward Step Taken in the Madison
Lake Embroglio.

Another step has been taken in
the Madison Lake school contest.
Tuesday, W. H. Allyn, of Madi-
son Lake, had papers served on Trus-
tees j. K. Knapp and Harry Towel,
OF the new school board, temporarily
restraining them from preventing
Prof. A. A. Campbell from teaching,
and from hiring new teachers. An
order to show cause why the injunc-
tion should not be made permanent is
returnable before Judge Severance
Saturday, Sept. 10Th. The decision
of this case may bring the matter
somewhat nearer solution.
Prof. Campbell opened the school
yesterday morning and has taught
since without interference. He will
continue to conduct the school the
present week, protected by the tenn
porary injunction.

A WRITER in the New York Sun
gives an estimate of the electoral
vote from Bryan standpoint in which
he gives Bryan 242 votes. The table
includes Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska, the Dakotas, California,
Kentucky, and West Virginia, with
Sc votes, which instead of going to
Bryan, will go to Mckinley. But the
most noticeable thing in the whole
table is, that the Popocrats cannot
win without Illinois. And it is in
that state that the battle is likely to
be the hardest although it will rage
fercely all around it. But Illinois
will be in the Mckinley column on
Nov. 3rd, with her "a votes and the
other states above named will be in
line with it. Aud in the list of Bryan
states which the Sun writer makes
there are other states which cannot
be counted solid for Bryan. Missouri,
Oregon and Washington with 25
electoral votes are doubtful states
and are as likely to be found in the
Mckinley column on the morning of
Nov. 4th, as they are with Bryan.
With hard work nearly or all the
other states above named can be
swung into the Mckinley column.
The splendid victories won in Maine
and Vermont should not be allowed
to breed overconfdence, but rather
spur on every believer in sound money
to work that will make the November
election tidal wave for sound money
that will be just as overwhelming, and
bury beyond resurrection the Popu-
listic vagaries regarding money.

some years since he had spoken in
Mankato, and they had been years of
great political and business vicissi-
tudes, until now the feeling which
stirs the people has not been exceeded
in depth since the civil war.
What do we find the condition in
which the American people stand
today? 1t is the only nation under
the sun now in distress, although 1T is
the greatest and strongest nation in
all respects on earth. There must be
some cause for this, and one that can
be remedied. Men of all parties, in
such times as these, should reason TO-
gether in good feeling, to devise a
way to bring the country out OF it's
present condition.
Four years ago, the Democrats said
that the tariff was to blame, and the
people believed them and gave them
power. Now they say that the trou-
bles can be remedied by the free and
unlimited coinage of silver in addition
to free trade. This is but sample of
the changed feeling of the people.
The Supreme Court is the highest
tribunal of justice in the country.
Many and many time has it render
ed decisions that have cemented
more solldly the foundations of
the government. Yet Mr.. Bryan,
in giving his support to the
entire Chicago platform, would
strike at the fundamental principles
underlying this noble institution, and
would pack the supreme court to Sc
cure decisions to suit the party in
power, and upset the established in
situations of the country.
The United States grew in power
and grandeur up to 1898 faster than
any other country ever did.
The interests Of all classes in this
country are Identical. l look with
suspicion and dread upon anything
which seeks to array the workingmen
in the cities against the farmers, or
any one class against another. When
the wage earners were working every
day they were the best customers that
the farmers ever had. Now the wage
Garner is arrayed against his employer
and furnishes scantier market.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-09-18

The burning question is the money
question. Our adversaries demand
that the United States alone, without
waiting for any assistance from
abroad, shall coin silver free and in
unlimited quantities at the ratio of 16
to l. am here to show them that
they are wrong, that their course
would be fraught with disaster, and
to lead them back, if possible.
Everything which experience had
taught to prudence warned the leading
commercial countries that what they
could not maintain was fraught with
ruin, and one after another all have
given up the attempt to maintain the
old ratio of gold and silver This BE-
ing the case, is it the part of wisdom
for the United States to act single
handed in this matter? There are
some things which no one nation is
strong enough to do, and one of
those is the attempt to reverse the
great, universal law of supply and de-
mand. We can meet any nation in
war, and put 100000 men in the
field according to the last census, but
we cannot successfully combat great
monetary or economic tendency of the
world. We do not want to get down
to the low level of the half civilized
free silver countries. Great and power
full nations and combinations of ma
tions have failed to do that which
Bryan would have US do alone and
single handed
1t is easy to arouse the passions of
men. 1t is sweet to hear the applause
following popular utterance, but /
would rather have that popularity
which follows, instead Of that which
is run after.
The leading commercial nations are
the only bi-metallic nations in the
world, and they employ gold and silver
in nearly an equal amount. There is
not free silver country in the world
which has any gold currency what
ever. Take Mexico, China and In
dia, and you see it. In every one
of the silver countries the wages of
men are so low that they are pressed
down to the very limit of subsistence.
The wage earners are not good cuStO-

The Minneapolis Tribune, in it's
wheat review for the week, SAYS:
"For once, the government report,
which came out on the 10th, did not
break the wheat market. The nat
ural strength of the situation asserted
itself, and there was an advance of
more than two cents a bushel during
the week. The report has figured out
to mean crop in the United States
of not much over 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
Counting in last years reserves and
taking out domestic consumption and
requirements, it is conceded that this
will not leave as much wheat for ex-
port as will be called for, and the eff
feet on prices of short supply is
bound to felt later in the crop year, if
not now"

Coroner Richards returned from
Camp Creek yesterday with the body
of Michael Lyons, who was killed there
in the Columbia mine. Lyons lived
about five hours after the accident His
forehead and eyes were damned in and
he could not speak. He made signs,

Lyons wife and three children live at
No. 700 West Quartz street in this
city. The funeral will be held at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
The inquest was held at Camp Greek
and the following verdict was returned
by the jury: THAT the said Michael
Lyons came to his death by reason of
the fact that he was employed as a
shift boss in the Columbia mine, owned
and operated by the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, and situated in Camp
Greek; that the said deceased had left
the top of the shaft and proceeded
down to- take some water to some min
ers working below; that he delivered
the water and was conversing with the
men and had given a signal of one
bell; that he was standing on the wall

struck the deceased upon the head.

said Lyons died in about five hours
after being brought to the surface;
that no blame is attached 10 the said
company or to the deceased but this
jury regards the accident as purely ac-
cidental and that said deceased was
absent minded in not moving away
from the shaft; that the deceased had
ample room to move in either direction
