MR.. BRYAN is RESPONSIBLE.
New YORK Press.

If ever a man deserved crushing defeat, as a
punishment to himself and warning to
others like him, it is William ]. Bryan. Said
Mr. Bryan in his Cincinnati speech on Friday
"Wherever you have the gold standard you
have stagnation in business and men out OF
work."
We had the gold standard in the Mckinley
tariff years, Mr.. Bryan. Then every mill and
factory in this country WAS busy. Then wages
went up in all manufacturing industries.
Then the wage-earners had so much more
money to spend that in 1892 they were able TO
pay for and consume 10000, 900 more bushels
of wheat than in 1895, though the population
of the country was 5000, 900 less than it now
is. In the Mckinley years the farmer was able
to sell his crops, getting gold-standard money
for them and paying off his debts with 1t,
dollar for dollar, and buying what he wanted,
dollar for dollar.
We had the gold standard from 1883 to
1892 and in that time wages advanced in the
manufacturing industries exactly so per cent.
In the trades during the same period wages
advanced % per cent for two hours less Work

to March, 1898, and in that time under pro-

When the present free-trade administration
came into power and when the free-trade Will
son law was passed we had "stagnation in

than $500 100000 a year. We had the value

The American people have always
successfully met every peril which has
assailed the honor or the integrity of
the Nation, and they Will meet the
crisis of 1896 as they met the crisis of
1861. Now, as then, the grand old
party to which we belong is in the
forefront of the fight, but now, as then,
it is aided by the loyal and patriotic
Democrats, who prefer their country
to party regularity. In 1861 we met
the crisis successfully with the sword |;
in 1896, under the leadership of Nc
Kinley and Hobart, we will meet it
successfully with the baIlot.-General
B. II. Tracy.

country, because felt that I must go.
In 1896 I enlist again from the same
impulse, the same impe1ling sense of
duty. Among college men, whether in
faculty or student ranks, the sentiment
is practically universal in favor of
sound currency, proper government and
National honor. OF all the men i know
or have heard of in Brown, Yale, Har-
ward, Cornell and the other colleges of
the country, East and West, there is
only one man who is for free-silver

1t is a hist orics1 fact that when the
Republican administration went out we
were in time of great prosperity; tho
country was prosperous to an extent that
never before had been attained 1t is
historically true that since the Demo-
cratic policy has been brought in the
country has gone step by step from its
pinnacle of prosperity to the very depths
of business depression and distress. AS
Republicans, the remedy we propose is
that a harmonious, weIl-adj listed, reve-
nue-producing and protective tariff sha all
be substituted; that the revenues of the
Government shall be made adequate to
its expenditures.-Benja Harrison.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

According to Bradstreet's report the
general outlook is for an improved de-
mand in all lines of business after the
election. Trade improvements are al
ready reported in many cities. particularly
in the South, where the activity In the
cotton market has been felt generally in
other lines OF trade. Dun & Co. make
similar reports. They declare that ''dis-
tinctly better conditions of trade have ap.
peared of late. and are reflected in the
somewhat larger employment of labor, in
larger transactions, and in continued buy
ing of materials for manufacture"
One of the most notable evidences of the
coming improvement In American trade
conditions is to be found in the enlarged
demand fer wheat. Biadstreet & Co. re-
port: The total exports of wheat for the
week amount 10 4,05o,772 bushels, against
4, 1880 bushels last week, 1924 ,00C
bushels in the first week for October, 1895;
3,317, 900 bushels in 1894 2, 362. 600 bushel:
in 1893 AMI 3. .625, 600 bushels in the CORE
spending week Of 1892.
In addition 10 the improved price:
brought about by this increased demand
the wheat outlook is further frightened
by prospects of an enlarged crop in this
country. The Government estimate d
400,V00,G0o bushels, it is said, is below the
true figure. Bradstreet estimates the do,
rnestic yield will be iully SOC. 900, 900 bush
els. Dun & Co., while not giving figures
agree that the. Official accounts are not ac
curate, and that the yield will be much
greater than was supposed. There /:
reason for believing that the increase In
this country will SO far to make up the
shortage of the crop in Russia, India, the
Argentine ana in Australia. In any case
the American farmer has certainly bet
ter outlook before him this year than fol
many years past.
With this improved outlook for the
agricultural interests there is also an i'm
proved outlook for manufacturers in The
growing certainty of the election of Nc
Kinley and the return to the country G
the protective system. Unless some ex
traordinary ana unforeseen change occur:
the people of this country may look for
ward to an immediate revival of trade and
industry after the election. All the grea
trade journals of the country are agreed
in that. To make prosperity sure, there
fore, nothing more is needed than that
the people should work together to bring
it about by the plishment of ar
overwhelming Republican victory in No
vember.

broad acres of other fertile valleys, would pro-
duce beets in great abundance. Even the

AN UNWISE AGITATION.

The persistent effort of Mr.. Bryan and
his Eastern imitators to arouse class an
tagonisms in our country and to array the
po or against those of better fortune, for
political ends. is to be deprecated and
ought to fail.
They know full well that these distinc-
tions and hostiiities do not by nature
exist. The thinking and common-sense
people of the country also know that be-
tween themselves and their neighbors
dwells no such sordid and selfish feeling
as the Bryanites describe. The whole of
this passionate assertion of hatred be-
tween masses and classes is nothing more
or less than IN attempt to ride into office
upon the saddle of prejudice and un-
truth.
1t was to be hoped that our local Demo-
cratic orators who have been reluctantly
dragged into the cam paign would abstain
from this sort of demagoguy and argue
for Bryan's election upon other lines. 1t
is matter OF regret that some of them at
least have not done so. AT the meeting
in Metropolitan Temple on last Saturday
evening such expressions as ''beasts of
burden" and ''birds of prey" were in
dulged in for no other apparent reason
than that they sounded well in Demo-
cratic speech.
The gentleman who made use of this
oratorical nonsense had better do little
thinking before he delivers a speech con-
tanning such sentences in the city which
he is doubtless proud to call his home, lest
some one in his audience may call upon
him to point out from among his clients,
friends and neighbors who are the s'beasts
of burden and which the "birds of prey"

During the session of the State Grange at Sac
ramento last week there was considerable
said about politics among the members after
they got out on the street. On Thursday
Cyrus Jones, a member of the San Jose Grange,
took straw vote of the members as they came
out of the Grangers hall, the result being as
follows: Mckinley, Al; Bryan, 20; doubt
full 2.
The Master of the State Grange, W. W. Greer,

marked that he is proud to wear the button in
the Grange or out of it. for the mem hers do

1t is sometimes said that we are OPP
posed to silver; that we are in favor of
gold exclusively. On the contrary, my
countrymen, we have done, as party,
more for silver than any other party
has ever done. 1t was tho Republican
party that provided for the coinage of
silver in 1873, and subsequently, in
1890, for the coinage of q greater num-
ber. Between those years the Repub-
lican party gave to the people more
silver dollars than were ever coined
nearly fifty times as many silver dol
lars rs were coined prior to that time.
We maintained them, too, at par with
gold, and we are in favor of more of
them, too, If we can maintain them at
par with gold Senator Sherman.
