THE CRY OF COERCION.
Bryan's Efforts TO inname Empixt "a
Against Employers.

Mr.. Bryan's speeches in Indiana thus
far have been devoted almost entirely
10 an ingenious attempt to persuade the
employees OF the factories that they are
being coerced by their employers. Mr..
Bryan resorts 10 this dcmagogue trick
because he has doubtless been informed
that Hoosier worlingmen have been pc
culiarly susceptible TO this kind OF an
appeal in other campaigns. The cry OF
coercion was used with great effective
ness in the Garfield campaign by the
democratic managers in Indiana, but
Garfield secured the electoral vote OF
the state. In every succeeding cam
paign il has been the fashion 10 instruct
the campaign speakers TO make con-
certed and Simultaneous howl about
intimidation" about the third week be-
fore election.
But this campaign trick has long
since lost its potency in Indiana, and no
one who is now familiar with the poll
ties OF the state has the tcmerity 10
resort TO il. The trick is loaded. IL has
q back-action kicking power that is
dangerous. Indiana politicians have
learned that cry OF this kind is quickly
followed by ringing challenges from
manufacturers all over the state, and
the result is that thousands Of men
employed in the factories resolve TO re-
sent the imputation put upon their
honor and the insult 10 their manhood.
In his speech at Jacksonville Mr..
Bryan did not discuss any Of the issues
OF the day. but confined his efforts TO Il
studied endeavor TO inilame the labor
ing men against their employers.
Among other incendiary utterances
were the following:
II have heard that IN some OF tho cities OF
Indiana the employers have notified their
employees that they would not open up
business n / was elected. Now, my friends,

hcIsion the police machinery OF the

so miles west OF here. was attacke2 by
bandits. all heavily armed. masked and
well mounted. The robbers entered
with flourish OF arms and caths and
at once attacked the store Of j. +.
Fouts. the largest merchant in the city.
Before entering the town the bandits
cut the telephone wires between Carney
and Chandler in order to prevent inter
ference with their evidently pre-
arranged plans. Carney Is town OF
500 people mud contains a general mer-
chnndise store. hotel. post Office, black
smith shop. stables and dwelling
houses. Only Fouts and his son were
in the store when the robbers rushed
in and threw their guns on them. The
chief of the outlaws commanded Fouts
10 open his safe. He quickly complied
and handed over $500 In cash 10 the
bandits. Two of the robbers then bound
and gagged Fouts and his son and car
ried them two miles out of town. Mean
while the other robbers attacked the
hotel and post Office. but got nothing in
the latter place. In the hotel three
drummers and two citizens were re-
lieved in all OF $500 in money, watches
and jewelry. At the United States mar

Mr. Ilagerman is perhaps best known
as the man who built the Colorado Mid

doned by its original projectors. lie
was for long time president of the
company, and still directs its policy.
He is at present the head of no less
than IL big western corporations, most
OF which are largely dependent upon
'creign capital. lie is also president OF
the famous Mollie Gibson mine, which
turns out S4,000,O0O In silver annually,
as well as president OF the Isabella, one
OF the largest silver mines Of the west.
Mr.. Hngcrman is also interested in q
score of other mines, the majority OF
which are silver producers.
While Mr.. Iagerman has never taken
any active part in politics other than

A Colorado Mine Owner who wants a
safe Policy.

One OF the most important political
declarations received from Colorado for
some time is that contained In letter
written by j. j. Hagerman. of Colorado
Springs. and addressed To II. w. Tan
slll, of this city. The letter. while n
distinct declaration against free sill
YER, Is particularly leveled against Mr..
Bryan. 1t is of additional interest from
the fact that Mr.. Hagerman, while one
OF the most successful iinanciers of the
west, is n practical silver miner and
farmer instead of a politician.
Speaking from a standpoint of his
own business interests. which, he says.
are necessarily identical with those oe
the country at large, he declares that
he fears TO trust national affairs In the
hands OF men who will surely be assoc
ciated with Bryan in the event OF his
election. In Bryan's personal sincerity
and integrity, Mr.. Hagerman says, he
has perfect confidence, but of Bryan's
followers and future advisers he has a
deep distrust. Further. he declares that
the United States cannot, in its present
condition, face the consequences that
would follow downright declaration
for a silver standard.
The letter, which is self-explanatory,
follows

Marshfield, Ore, Oct. 2i.-The Oregon
Coal g. Navigation compnny's steam
ship Arago, Capt. Reed, was wrecked
Tuesday morning on the Coos bay bar
and four passengers and nine members
of the crew were drowned. The vessel
was endeavoring to enter the harbor at
Empire City and the engines were
slowed down while the bar was being
crossed. A strong tide-rip carried the
vessel on the submerged rocks of the
partially-constructe government jet
~. She struck so hard that hole was
knocked in her bottom directly under
the engine room, and a few seconds
later the vessel sank in eight fathoms OF
water. The Lighthouses and upper
works were carried away, as were also
the life RATS and boats. In the midst OF
the confusion the passengers and crew

reach. Two boats were captured, and
into these Is persons climbed, leaving
the captain and FIVE of the crew cling

water. For two hours the boats en-

breakers. A huge wave capsized one OF
them and all of it's nine occupants were
drowned. The other boat was finally
piIoted safely into the bay and the life
saving crew notified. With much diff
