The llliteracy Question.

Statistics OF illiteracy in the last
census throw interesting light on the
charge that the strength OF the silver
party in the recent election was
founded on ignorance.
1t is freely admitted that the
movement that eliminated in the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan had its 10.
ceptiOnand received its strongest i'm
petus in the west. From the west it
spread to the south.
Comparing the percentage Of Hitter.
aey of the white population of the
western states which gave majorities
for Bryan with the percentage in the
white population Of the eastern
states, where Mckinley was strongest.
the advantage is on the side OF the
western SILVER states.
The percentage Of illiteracy among
the whites of Colorado is As; Idaho,
So; Kansas, 20; Montana. Al; Me-
braska, Is; Nevada, AZ; Utah, 81;
Washington, al; Wyoming, 3. On
the other hand, the percentage of
Iilliteracy In the'white population of
Connecticut Is 81; Delaware, IA:
Maine, "a; Maryland, I; New Hamp-
shire, IS; New Jersey, 81; New York,
5.4;PennsylvaDia, S.4; Rhode Island,
$50; Vermont, g.; West Virginia, 10.
1t will be seen that state for state.
education is more generally diffused
among the western people who sup
ported Bryan andIsilyer than among
the eastern people, hosupported Nc
KinleY and gold. In the south the
percentage of illiteracy is very high
among both whites and blacks, and
the blacks were voted almost solidly
for Mckinley and gold. The black
population all over the country, the
illiteracy percentage OF which ranges
from l5.S to 69.l, cast a Mckinley ard
gold vote. If this percentage be
added to that of the Republican
whites the average will be greatly
increased.
But there is still another point to
be considered. The gold and McKin-
ley vote in the cities was high, and a
large percentage of the city vote is
composed of the most ignorant and
degraded whites aud BLACKLIST.

Senator Pettigrews victOryin North
Dakota is a complete yindication of
his past conduct.

Some enthusiastic admirers of Mai. !
Mckinley have sent him a l0O-pound
sack of beet sugar, inscribed: "The
Mckinley tariff fOstered this indus
try" and in 50 doing they have fur
ned very striking example Of his
ignorance aud misplaced confidence.
The truth is that the Mckinley bill
repealed the tax o. beet sugar and
substituted a direct bounty. Thus
falling to protect and offering a sort
offavOritism that isunWise and unjust.
That municipal ownership Of light
ing and water plants israpidly coming
to the front all over the country is
evident to the most casual observer.
Where once such state of affairsis
established we bear no more of exor-
bitant rates and bad service. The
mayor of Des MOines, Iowa, recently
recommended that that city should
take steps to own its lighting plants
Every step 10 this direction leads up
to ownership By the federal govern
ment of national monOpOlies.
AppropOof the recent On-ConfOrn-
ist, it seems that the Hanna element
offered to Mrs. G. Vincent, who held
the paper after the ousting of C. X.
Matthews, handsome bonus if she
would permit them to publish the
papor, using n. A. Dunuing as editor,
until after the election, when it was
to be returned to her. Prof. Vincent
was absent making campaign speech
es, but his brave wife refused all
offers from the bOoders and held the
paper in line for Bryrn and Watson.
Matthews has confessed that he ac-
cepted large sums of money from the
Republicans for the course he took.
The expense Of a presidential cleo
tiOn is enormous. This is the first
campaign in which documents were
carried on franks. Forty million of
these documents were carried on con
gressiOnal franks alone. The cost to
the government in postage for the
entire campaign is S2,4OO,0O0. The
Australian ballot system calls for
greater number of officials than here
tOfore at the booths. The cost in
the recent election average about
one dollar per vote. In New York it
is one dollar and thirty four cents.
ThHs the cost to the entire country
would be about sl4,OOO,OOO; adding to
this the postal expense We have 10
two items alOue SIG, 100000. If all
illegal uses of money to influence
votes, injury to business, and loss of
time were estimated in dollars it
cOule safely be put at slO0,OOO,eOO.

was going to say that coercion was the ar
gument that is being resorted to now by
our opponents more than any other argyll
ment. But there is one advantage in vot-
Ing in the states where they have the Aus
tralian ballot and that is that while a
man may wear badge in order to save
his employment, he has right to use his
vote in order to save his country. l DO
not find it in my heart to criticize the man
who wears the Republican badge under
compulsion. These are hard times, and
they will be harder than this if the gold
standard continues, and do not wonder
that man who has q Job does not like to
risk having his job taken away from him
because he insists upon being an Amerl-
can citizen, but do rejoice that the labor
ing men of this country were instru-
mental in getting an Australian ballot to
protect them in just such crisis as we
are passing through. Without it we could
hardly hope for victory. But, my friends,
the secret ballot, where man votes as he
wants to and not as somebody else wants
him to, is the protection of the working
men, and tyranny waits outside while he
goes in to vote. Some one has said that a
man wears the Republican badge to save
his employment and votes for free silver
to make his job worth saving.
At Aitkin Mr.. Bryan explained from
the platform the workings of the bond
syndicate DEAL.

Considers 270 Electoral Votes Certain for
Bryan.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Chairman Jones
Of the Democratic national committee
has given out a statement characterize
ing as absurd the figures showing the
probable result Of the election as given
out by Senator Quay. Chairman Jones
states that in all the states classed by
Senator Quay as doubtful complete
and harmonious fusion between the
Democrats, Populists and Silver Repub
licaps exist, rendering them certain for
Bryan. For the same reason he classes
as doubtful the states Of Iowa, Ohio
and Wisconsin, and claims for Bryan
the electoral votes Of Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mime
sofa, North Dakota and West Virginia,
all of which were claimed for Mckinley
by Mr.. Quay. The table given out by
Chairman Jones gives 81 votes as GER
tain for Mckinley, 279 for Bryan and
81 as doubtful.
