Brxnnite Mendncity.

From New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t has been frequently said of Bryan dur
ing the present campaign that while he
might be wrongheaded, he was at least
sincere. This might have been true at the
time of the Chicago orgie, but he long ago
forfeited all claim to respect on this ac-
count On Saturday, for example. he re-
iterated the brazen falsehood that the
money in actual circulation among the
people has decreased $l5O,O0O,OoO in two
years." Bryan has been making this state
ment ever since he began his steeplechase
for the presidency. although he is perfect
ly aware that the circulation" perpetually
changes.
How stand the facts? On July 1, 1896,
the amount of money outside of the treas
ury was $l.5O6, 900. 900, or about $l5O,OO0, 900
less than 1t had been on July l, 1894. At
the beginning of the present October, ac-
cording TO treasury reports at that date.
this amount had increased to 81 l,5S2, 900 900.
or s76.0O0.000 in three months alone. The
increase for September alone was nearly
100000 600. This meant a per capita circu-
lation of $22.05, while the treasury, in ad-
dition. held ss20,OO0.00o, about $l22, 900 of
which consisted of free gold. Meanwhile
gold has been pouring, into the country
from abroad In steady stream. With
the exception of 1894, the money in actual
circulation has been greater on the aver
age for the current year than it has been

When Mckinley Is Elected.

From New York Commercial Advertiser.
Careful business men estimate that $500,
100000 will be placed in circulation within
a Few weeks after the election of Mckinley.
This money is being boarded by big and lit
tie capitalists. who. though they believe
Bryan'S defeat is certain, still care to take
no risks, with the decision that they are
waiting until the decision is rendered. when
in every city in this country business en-
terprise will take on new life. forges will
be relighted, factory wheels will turn
again. banks will circulate their treasure,
and workinganen, farmers, artisans. clerks,
merchants, middlemen and capitalists will
begin the new epoch in American history
filled with courage born of honest enthuS-
iasm.
We may never know the damage that
Bryan and the repudiationists have done in
this country. Every city has lost millions
of dollars since the Populists in Chicago
declared for a debased currency. Every
capitalist and workingman has shared in
this loss. Happily, the long struggle is
nearly ended. If every voter does his duty
on election day the currency question, so
far as these United States are concerned,
Will never again have to be discussed. The
questions of national dishonor and national
dishonesty will have passed away into thin
air. just as some terrible miasma arises
and is finally dispelled.
But what a campaign it has been! HOW
the American spirit of freedom, patriotism
and loyalty has stood out in every section
of every state. Voters everywhere know
more to-day than they ever knew before.
And they cherish the old flag as never be-
fore in our history. All honor to American
manhood! AL honor to THOSE brave Demo

a majority ranging anywhere from 10000 to
5000. 1t might not be inappropriate to
mention the further fact that Mr. Love Is
displaying certain unmistakable evidences
of lack Of confidence in his own figures. in
that both himself and all of his committee
men have ceased to bet on Bryan carrying
Kansas. The same committeeman who two
months ago bet that Bryan would have
more than 15.0OO majority now refuse to
take wager which does not give odds OF
10000 majority for Mckinley.

The Man In Debt,

From the New York World.
The man in debt can't afford to vote for
free silver"
Free silver" doesn't mean money for
nothing. The man in debt must get dol
lars to pay his debt with. Free silver
will not put money in his pocket. 1t will
make it harder to earn money.
Then he will be more dollars in debt than
before.
Then, too, he will have to pay more in
terest. "Cheap money means dear in
terest.
The Western farmer has had to pay too
high interest
Why? Because lenders have feared that
they would lose their money or get Cheap
money back. That means high interest.
Sound money means cheap interest. 1t
is cheap interest and not "cheap money"
borrowers need. 1t cost the American peo-
pie sl6.0OO,000 more interest on the last
United States loan because congress would
not make payment in gold sure.
In states sound on money interest has
been on farm loans 5iz to 6la per cent
In states unsound on money interest has
been double that.
One thing more. There is one sound,
square reason why Americans should not
want to pay debts in Cheap money" A
farmer was told IL he voted for Bryan he
could pay his debts with half the money.
II won't do it," he said. 1T amt hon

General Harri.on,. Challenge.
From the New York Sur

From the New York Sun.
The opportunity to make political cap
ital which General Harrison offered Mr..
Bryan on Saturday, the latter will not
avail himself of. In a speech at Indian
apolis the ex-president. replying to the
charge that employers were coercing their
men to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, said: "If
an instance of this kind is brought to my
attention 1 will pledge myself as citizen
and a lawyer to rebuke it." Here is a
chance for Mr.. Bryan to win sympathy
and make votes. Heishas only to discover
one actual case of Coercion and call upon
General Harrison dsgive.1t hts professional
attention. In fact, nf would be in line with
the Bryan policy of BLUM and mendacity
to manufacture a. case of coercion and
seek to 3entrap Mr.. Harrison. But not
even this will be done, for there is moth
ing but humbug, and very cheap humbug
at that, in the cry of coercion. The laws
of most of the states provide for the pun
ishment of persons guilty of it, and If the
evidence in any alleged case justified pros
ecution the Popocrats would lose no time
in exploiting it, and they would make a
great tumult about it.
Wild and baseless as the talk about CO.
ercion is, there is method in it. the idea
being to create an impression that in some
vague but sinister fashion the wage-earner
is being deprived of his liberty of action.
To hint that an employer is exerting an
improper influence on the right of suffrage
which his men enjoy is a good deal like
innuendo in the case of a woman's charac-
ter. There are probably weak-minded per-
sons who believe the stories they hear
without scintilla of evidence. But to find
anything which justifies the fable about
coercion is like looking for needle in a
haystack. General Harrison has spiked
the Jones and Bryan battery by his bold
challenge.

BRYAN,s WARD MUST BE SAVED.

While Candidate Bryan is standing on the
brink of a cataclysm and gazing into the
jaws of defeat, it has occurred to him that
he would like to save his own precinct He
realizes that the country is against him.
that his state is against him, that his town
is against him, but he has hopes of his
ward His wishes have been communicated
TO the national committee, and the commit
tee has set to work to carry them out The
wires have been kept hot between Chicago
and Lincoln for several days. Orders have
been given that the ward must be carried
at any cost-that it must be packed if nee
essary, and, as it was found to be neces-
sary, the colonization has been going on
briskly. AS it requires but ten days resi-
dence in the ward for each new voter the
outlook is considered bright. and Chairman
Jones, after consulting with his political
staff, feels warranted in claiming Bryan's
| ward for him by a safe majority. Quite a
number Of the students from the state uni
yersity, 1t is said, are moving into the

Bryan on Pensions.

In 1892. William ]. Bryan was the re-
sponsible editor of the Omaha World-Her-
aid. In the issue of that paper for Novem-
ber IS. 1892 the following article on pen
sions appeared:
1.-The next session of congress will have
to wrestle with one deficiency of $50 OOO. 600
This is on account of pensions. The ap-
preparation for pensions for the next year
must not be less than s150.00O.0OO. II is
therefore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that congress must make
for pensions next session must aggregate
not less than slS6. 10000.
This tremendous sum would IN itself
be enough to run a reasonable government
One would not complain if were an hon.
est debt, but a large portion of it is not a
debt, because it was never earned by any
act of patriotism or heroic service. The
government is held up and despoiled of no
mean portion of this and it seems helpless
to defend itself. One cannot help being
curious to know how many more years it
will take to exhaust the generation which
feels itself injured by the war. 1t is safe
to say that never did generation display
such remarkable longevity"
Kansas City daily journal., 1896-10-30
BLAME THE GOLD STANDARD FOR 1T

Mr.. Bryan's oft repeated assertions that
the people are being impoverished by the
gold standard have been disproved time
and again by reference to official facts and
figures, but nevertheless he goes complac-
emily along making the same misrepre-
sentations, evidently assuming that his
ipse dixit is more potent than the truth.
1t has been repeatedly shown that the
country has increased enormously in
wealth within the last twenty-five years
and that the condition of the people has
been improved in numberless ways. The
comforts of life have been cheapened and
the struggle for a livelihood made easier.
At the same time the volume of the cur
rency has been expanded to meet the needs
of a growing population and the people are
also spending more money every year.
Some railway statistics recently published
have a bearing on this subject. Travel be-
hind the iron horse, as everyone knows. is
expensive and it does not seem reasonable
that an impoverished people would keep on
increasing the railroad traffic from year to
year If they were writhing under the curse
of the gold standard. Yet travel has in
creased at rapid rate.
In the year 1882 the inhabitants of the
United States averaged five and one-half
| Journeys by rail; in 1895 they averaged
seven and quarter Journeys. In 1892 the
railroad travel Of this country was equiva-
| lent to carrying one passenger 1855 900
| miles: last year this single passenger rode
| Il, ,1ss, 900 miles. In the former year each
passenger Travelled an average OF 1861
| miles, while in 1895, under the hated gold
| standard, the average was 174.1 miles
| During this period the population of the
country increased 33 per cent, while the
passenger movement increased go per cent
| Doubtless Mr.. Bryan will argue that this
| largely increased railroad travel in thir-
teen years does not prove that the people
are not poor and downtrodden and under
| the yoke of the plutocrats. but that 1t only
shows that the present dear dollar will
| purchase more railroad mileage, just as II
| purchases more sugar and more clothes
But that will not explain how they got the
| dollars.

NOT DIFFICULT TO DECIDE.

American wage-earnerS, be they men or
women, are vitality interested in two things.
OF course, as intelligent men and women,
they are interested in many other things
also, but the questions of money and
work are the supreme ones with them.
The most important Of the two is work,
for if the laborer has no employment he
receives no wages. Even if the money of
the country is deprecated the workingman
can get it IL he has work in hand. but he
cannot get even a 50-cent dollar for moth
ing. Now. If the wage-earner believes that
the election of Bryan on a platform that
declares explicitly for free trade will slim
ulate the tagging industries of this coun-
try, open up the factories and the mills
and give work for idle hands to do at good
wages in good money, he can honestly
cast his vote for Bryan. Otherwise he can
not.
When 1t comes to money the wage
Garner can easily make his choice. Mr..
Bryan declares that the present dollar is
an Objectionable one for the reason that it
buys too much. He advocates cheap
dollar" and high prices; or. in other
words, a dollar that will not purchase as
much as the 100-cent dollar now paid out
for wages. So the workman need not be
confused by the endless arguments on the
money question which are dinned into his
ears every hour, but can reduce the whole
matter to a simple proposition. If he hon
estly believes that the dollar Of to-day buys
too much-if he gets too much sugar or too
much flour; if the merchant gives more
dress goods or shoes than his wife needs
for dollar-then, of course, he ought to
vote for Bryan.
These are the only things that need be
considered by the worlingman in this
campaign-work and wages. One party is
for him and the other against him in the
matter of employment and compensation.
One declares for protection to American
industries and for a dollar worth what it
purports to be-100 cents. The other be-
lieves in stimulating foreign labor at the
expense of the wage-earner at home and
favors a currency that will buy less of
the necessaries and comforts of life than
the money in use to-day. Patriotism and
common sense point out the way for the
American workman.

Major Mckinley on "coercion.-

''There are some people who seem to
think the best way to get on in this world
is to be against one another. and that
there is natural antagonism between
those who employ labor and those who are
employed. They are disturbed whenever
they discover that the employer of labor
and labor itself are on good terms. and
whenever that occurs they commence cry
ing coercion. 1t Is not coercion; it is CO.
operation, the one working with the other
for the public good and for their advan-
tage severally. We do not want in this
country antagonism between capital and
labor: they ought to be close together all
the time. The one can not get on without
the other. and instead Of their being enc
mics they ought always to be friends.
