THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There is but one Interpretation OF
the Improvement in business since the
Vermont and Maine elections. These
two events are only straws which in
dictate the course of the political
breeze, but these same straws point
toward greater confidence and stabili-
ty which is sure to come with the cleo
ton if Mckinley, and, incidentally,
with the downfall of the fat lunacy Of
the Pops. The greatly increased Re
publican majorities in these two states
tell the story that the tide has turned
and is running with irresistible force
toward a stable currency. This as
sured and the business of the whole
country viii assume its normal condl
ton, and the talk of a scarcity of mon
ey will cease. 1t is proverbial that
capital is sensitive, but the anxiety TO
find employment for idle money is here
shown by the willingness Of its own
ers to put it out even on an improved
prospect of sound money system. IL
such pointers, two months prior TO the
election, cause an advance in staples,
what may we expect from the return
Of the party of sound mony to power.
1t is safe to assume that the millions
now lying Idle, awaiting the result of
the election, would, at once, come into
circulation through the varied chaE-
nels of business, the proof Of which is
- al
Contemplating the possibility Of Bry-
ans election, it would be impossible
now to forecast the result. He and
his party-if he has a party7stand
committed to the dangerous expert
ment of free coinage. The change
alone would breed uncertainty and
doubt. Any radical change now would
only perpetuate the lock up Of funds,
at least, until a new fiDacial policy was
fully inaugurated. Congress, as it is
now constituted, would be powerless
to do this. so that an administrator
under Bryan would do nothing more
than continue the present policy of
waiting to see what the outcome
would be. Outside and apart from
this is the fact that the Democratic
party has ever been an impeachment to
business prosperity. 1t was so in Cal
houn's time when ne tried TO take
South Carolina out of the unon. 1t
was SO during Buchanan's administra-
ton when he failed to find a purchaser
for government bonds bearing II per
cent interest 1t was so during the
war when greenbacks were denounced
as worthless rags by the whole DEM
ocratic party, north and south. 1t is
so now when their chosen apostle OF
honesty and financial wisdom is piling
up an additional public debt of nearly
$500, 100000 in a time of profound
peace. Mr.. Bryan is the Democratic
nominee and as such, and for that
reason, if no other, he should be re-
tired to the sunlit plains Of Nebraska
at least till his candidacy would cease
to be a menace to the business Of the
whole country.

THE LABORER AND M'KINLEY.

There is no longer any question that
the laboring men of the country are
with Mckinley. We do not refer TO
the farmer, who owns his lands and
herds and hires his help, but TO the
farm, factory and mine laborer, to the
day laborer of every character and
station. 1t grows more evident every
day that the working men Of the coun-
try both east and west are taking the
lead in the support Of Mckinley, and
for the reason of the conviction that
there will be not only more work but
that the money which is paid for It
will be sounder and better under Nc
Kinley than Bryan. Mr.. Bryan talks
about coercion but all such talk Is
bosh. No coercion is needed to induce
a man to stand by himself and his own
plain interests. The average work
ingman knows what he is about. The
wool can't be drawn over his eyes He
knows that the Chicago platform crys-
talized into a national policy means
uncertainty and probably unprecedent-
ed distress and disaster. So labor Is
leading the way for Mckinley. Not
only are they for all that protection
promises but for money about which
there can be no mistake or question.
If we are to have silver they want it to
be just as good as gold. They are
keenly alive to their own interests and
they do not need to be told TO vote for
Mckinley Their common sense tells
them that this is the right thing to do.
This talk of the coercion of employees
is absurdity gone to seed. The Au-
stralian ballot, in use in majority OF
the states, makes it impossible to tell
how any man votes. No employer, if
he desired, could control his employees
vote or know how the employe voted.
But fortunately the interests of cap
ital and labor are happily united in this
campaign The employer falls in line
with his employe and the one follows
the many in this crusade for honest
finance. The workingman has more at
stake than anyone else in this cam
paign. The capitalist can protect him
self. His fortune may shrink some
what in size if free silver wins, but he
can stand it, but the laboring man,
whose only income is what he earns
by his daily toll, cannot afford to have
his wages cut in two or their purchas-
ing power reduced one-half. Mr.. Bry-
an has never yet, in all his voluminous
speech making, dared to assure sim
gle workingman that free silver would
raise his wages to correspond with in
flated prices. That is why labor leads
the way in the fight for honest money.

BRYAN OFF HIS BASE.

sBryan says that the Republican par
ty has declared in its platform for
the maintenance of policy that
makes hard times. What party does
the peripatetic Shopter belong TO!
Has he forgotten his free trade speech
es in congress? Does he have any ap-
prehension of the result to this country
Of the present Democratic admins
tration? This country did not know
hard times until the Bryan free trade
party came into power. The policy
that made hard times was the policy
announced by the Chicago convention
of 1892 and executed by the congress
elected in that year. The Republican
party in its platform has declared for
the restora ton of protection and the
maintenance Of sound money, which
in the past have made the country
prosperous. The way TO restore good
times is to restore the party whose
rule in national affairs has meant in
dustrial activity, commercial growth,
good wages, good prices and univer-
sal progress.
Again Mr.. Bryan, the orator from
the Platte, says that the gold standard
makes it more profitable TO hoard mon
ey than to invest it. Was money
boarded in this country before MIR.
Bryan's party, under Mr.. Cleveland,
went into power? The development Of
the United States in the period from
1878 to 1893 was and still is the won
der OF the world. In no other quarter
Of the globe was ever before witnessed
an Industrial growth and general adj
vancement so remarkable, SO marvel
Gus. A vast area of the west was
either unbroken or but sparsely set
tied in 1873. In fifteen years the broad
trans-Mississippi region was made to
blossom almost Ike a garden. Spleen
did cities and many prosperous towns
were brought into existence by the
magic touch Of enterprise. During
this period the south practically I'M
developed in the seventies, made gi-
gantic strides. 1t is said tina fully
three and one-half times as MANY cot
ton mills were built IN the southern
states from 1878 to 1898 a. were built
during the previous 100 years The in
crease of spindles was more than $50
per cent. A larger amount of capital
was invested in mining and iron pro-
duction, ten times over, than in the
previous history Of the country. There
was intense activity in all branches OF
industry. The same thing is true OF
the entire north and northwest. The
wholel country throbbed with life.
CAPITAL eagerly sought investment ev-
erwhere. People were universally EN-
ployed.
In face Of all these facts, known 10
every man Of mature years who is not
an imbecile, the Popocratic candidate
for president in his lightning tour OF
the country. tells the people daily that
the gold standard makes IL more pro
fitable TO hoard gold than TO invest il

An Unfortunate Woman.

A strange lady, stopping at the
Davis house, jumped out Of a second
story window Wednesday night about
g O'Clock. She was scratched and
bruised some, but not seriously in
jured. She was evidently demented
and was taken charge Of by Policeman
Grinstead and Deputy Sheriff Shaw
yer. They placed her in the county
Jail to await developments.
She arrived on the Book Island
train from the north that night. She
took the cab and was driven to the
Arlington hotel. She registered here
Miss Rose Love-" and said she was
from Audubon, Iowa, and was going
to New Salem, Cowley county. to visit
an uncle, ]. Farnsworth. She was
assigned good room. In a few mo-
ments after she was taken to her room
she came down and said she did not
like her apartments. She left the
hotel and went 10 the rear door Of
Hayes drug store. Charley Lynch
walked back to learn her wishes and
she asked to be directed to a good
hotel. She was told that the Airing
ton was frst-claSs and finally consent
ed to return there. Going out doors,
she talked with Al Russell Of the bus
line, and decided to have him take
her to the Davis house. At the Davis
house she asked to see the landlady.
Mrs. Corder came to her presence and
she begged to sleep with her; said
she was stranger and did not want
to sleep alone. Mrs. Corder declined
to do this but assigned her to a good
room on the second floor. After she
was taken to her room she elQuired
who was in the next room. She was
told that Miss Minnie COrder occupied
that room. She asked aud was granted
permission to 60 in and talk with heI
awhile, which she did. She finally
retired, telling Nj. COrder to call bel
at $50 for the local train east. Mis-.
Minnie did not like her actions anC
took the precaution to give her rings
and watch to her mother. She had
been in her room but a few moment:
when she jumped from the window az
stated above.
Mr.. Corder went to the Jail anC
talked with her next morning. ShC
seemed all right and was unable to &C
count for her actions. A telegram
stating the facts was sent to Mr.
tarnSWOrtn, al New Salemi Wnenc'
she was going to visit, also to partie
in Audubon, Iowa.
The Rock Island conductor WHIT
came down that night went nOrtl
next morning. He remembered tn,
lady on his train; said she got on a
Mcfarland and sat with another lad,
nearly all the way down. He noticed
nothing peculiar in her actions.
Mr.. Farnsworth telegraphed Thurs
day afternoon to have the lady put oil
the train and that he would meet he
at Winfield. He is an uncle Of thl
lady.

He Tumbled.

The editor of the Mail tumbled in
to the trap set for him by the VOICE.
He will not discuss silver or anything
else with the VOICE this campaign,
Notwithstanding he challenged US per-
SOnally for systematic combat along
the line Of the differences between
the parties on the financial question,
He backed out Squarely. We presume
he thought better Of his rash chal-
leDge. At any rate since the Daily
VOICE was started he has maintained
a discreet silence,
1t will be remembered that he was
unusually savage in August, while the
editor Of the VOICE was down sick
charging US in daStardly headlines
emphasized by double column meas
ure, with garbling speech Of John
A. Logan made in the United States
senate January 10, 1874, and applying
about all the epithets Of the English
language to express his indignation
at such tactics, The VOICE showed
at the time that we clipped the quo
tstiOn from current newspaper and
printed it without changing it one
iOta. Upon examination we found
that it originated in Compendium
of quotations by Chas. II. Bliss. We
wrote to Mr.. Bliss concerning it and
have received some correspondence,
which we desired to introduce. This
correspondence tends to show that
the quotation from Mr.. Logan as
made was correct, and 10 order to gel
it before the people we printed the
extracts as we originally gave them
feeling certain that the editor Of the
Mail would reopen the case for US and
bring the matter fresh to the people
again. He has done so and for hi:
kindness we extend our thanks.
Immediately after his first publica
tion IF this sensational matter we
dictated the following letter and haC
it mailed:
