THE POSITIVE THREAT OF REVO.
LUTON.

It is not necessary for the Journal to
utter alarmist doctrine; but it is i'm
perative that the people of these United
States shall take Ote of the speech of
anti Bryan leaders, speeches which in
dictates the serious entertainment of a
desire to rob that people of the rights
and privileges conferred upon it by the
Magma Charta of it's liberties, the Con
stitutiOn.
Mr.. Edward Lauterbach, Chairman
of the Republican County Committee,
in a speech launched by him on Satur.
day night, said that if Mr.. Bryan and
the Chicago platform obtained a ma
jority of the votes in the approaching
election, I'VE will not abide by that dc
cision." True, when he was confronted
with his words in cold type, he substi-
tuted may" for twill" The hot revo
lutionist of the night had become the
calculating politician of the morning.
But we have no hesitation in declaring
that the will" was the truec word.
OOp "a UhC AO4AACSS VI WIG u0bEb bu0
mouth speaketh," Furthermore, MI.
Lauterbach is on record as an opponent
of the voice of the people.
On April % he appeared before the
Senate Railroad committee of this
State, and in a speech there made de
manded that the people should not be
allowed to decide by vote whether
citi5s should own street railways. He
demanded that the Senate and Assem-,
bly, should act, mot the irresponsible
men who vote on such things" The
people," he said, cannot always be
allowed to have their own way" That
was the L2uterbach OF April. The Lau.
terback of October would apply hat
principle not only to the people of New
York, but to the people of the whole
country. Hs would rob us of the fran,
chise which was bought for us by the
blood OF our forefathers. And thin
creature has the unparalleled efront-
cry to hurl the epithet ''Anarchisto at
a pure minded patriot like William
Jennings Bryan!
But Mr.. Lauterbach is not without

THIS ACCOUNTS FOR BRITTISE
OPPOSITION.

The London Financial News of April
14th, 1894, said:
There is a plain moral in the re-
mark that if the United States would
venture to cut herself from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back, and
would command the markets of both
continents. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of a
tom house. The bond of silver would
be stronger than any bond of free trade.
There a be no doubt about it that
if the United States were to adopt a
silver basis to morrow, British trade
would be ruined before the year is out.
Every American industry would be
protected, not only at home, but at
every other market. OF course the
States would suffer to a certain extent
through having to pay their obligations
abroad in gold but the loss on exchange
under this head would be a mere drop
in the bucket compared with the profits

One of the listeners at a political
meeting in a mountain town of North
Carolina was noticeable for the intent
ness with which he caught every word
any Of the speakers uttered. After the
speaking was over, he followed Mr..
Mclaughlin, IA of the legislative can
dldates, to his hotel.
"Mr. Mclaughlin, " he said, II war
at the m~eetin'."
Yes, Isaw you there; glad to see
you; hope you will vote right" said
the orator.
"Yaas. But I listened to every word
yo' uns all said, and none of yo' men
toned tn pint I want ter git at"
what was it you wanted to know? 2"
"Waal, Of course, I heerd bout tn
tariff an silver, an them things, but
yo' din none of yo' say nOthin' bout
pensions"
"Well, I am in favor of liberal pen
sions."
"Yaas, but I recon yo' don't quite
catch thar pint yit."

"Yo' see, I git a pension of So a
month from the government, an it's
holped me powful. I hev two boys,
ones twenty-five an t'other Jess cum
twenty one. I writ ter tn. pension

ply. How ole do them boys hev ter be

Mclaughlin explained matters, but
he lost three votes by doing so.-De-

to be reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing of
Europe.
THE marvel is that the United States
has not long ago seized the opportunity,
and but for the belief that the way of
England is necessarily the way to com
mercial success and prosperity, I'm
doubleday it would have been done
long ago. Now, Americans r awak
ening to the fact that so long as they
narrow their ambition to becoming a
larger England they cannot beat us.
It has been a piece of luck that it has
never occurred to the Americans to
scoop US out of the worlds markets by
going on a silver basis, and it might
serve us right if, irritated by the con
temptuous apathy of government
to the gravity of the silver problem,
the Americans retaliate by freezing out
gold. It could easily be done"

HOW APREsIDENT IS ELECTED.

Considerable diversity Of opinion ex-
lists among the masses as to the method
of electing President and Vice Presi
dent. Many are heard to say, Il am
going to vote for Mckinley and Ho.
bart'' or Bryan and Sewall" or
Bryan and Watson" ETC., when the
fact is we cannot vote for any of these
candidates. We vote for electors and
the electors who receive the most votes
cast the vote of the State for VIII mso
ever they please. They are not re,
quired by law to vote for the party
nominee, they usually do 30. Zach
S tate elects two electors for the State
at large-also one elector for each Con
g~ressional district. Each voter in
Texas will vote for the electOr for his
own Congressional district, also an
elector for every other district in the
State; also for two electors for the
State at large, and the fifteen electors
who receive the greatest number Of
votes will caet the vote of the State i'll
the electoral college which will choose
the President and Vlc6 President.
The electors meet IN their respective
States on the first Wednesday in De
cember next after the election and vote
for President aud Vice President. A
certificate Of the result Is sent to the
President Of the Senate at Washing
ton.
On the second Wednesday in Febru
ary the President Of the Senate in the
presence of the Senate and House opens
:he certificates and the votes are then
counted. IL any person has received
more than half Of the votes Of the cleo
tors for President, he is elected to that
Office, otherwise the election Of Presi
dent is thrown into the house. When
the houee votes it votes by States, each
State casting but n vote, and a ma.
5rity of States ia necessary to a
choice. The house must choose from
the highest three in the electoral col
lege. The house cannot take up q new
man, but must make its selection from
those already voted for in the electoral
college.
TIE house that is in session Febru
airy next following the election is the
one elected two years before, as the
new house takes hold on March 4
II no candidate for Vice President
receives more than half of all the cleo
tors the election is thrown into the
Senate, which must select from the
Two receiving the highest numbers in
the electoral college.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Please allow me to correct soma Of
the errors in my speech, as published
in your paper last week.
In the second paragraph I am made
to say the body polite is like a man
covered with leaders" sucking his
life blood, when referring to the trusts.
1t should be 'Heeches."
Further on, "Arostotle" should be
"Aristotle." "Richards'' should be
Ricardo" the we'll known English
financier and writer on Political Econ
omy.
"Miliam," referring to the second
Vanderbilt, should be "William."
