this year they were divided, having
two tickets in the field. 1t is wonder
Powers plurality was not larger, and
the result is not such as ought to dis.
courage the opponents 20 Mckinley.
OF course those 35, COO people who
went out to hear Bryan in Philadel-
phia were only attracted by curiosity,
still about 95 per cent of them will vote
for him through curiosity" next No
vember.
The gold press of the country has
thus far failed to explain how it is pos
sible for the silver mine owner to de-
rive profit of II cents on each dol
lars worth of bullion and at the same
time to pay his laborers in 53-csnt
dollar. The trouble is that the two
propositions do not harmonic
"Would free coinage of silver. at the
ratio of l6 70 /, make a silver dollar
worth 100 cents in gold?" It would
not. The bullion it contains would be
worth no more than it is now.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Then just how would the silver
mine magnates get rich out of the free
mage of silver as you have recently
been preaching in such a pyrotachnic
fashion? This merely shows the ficti-
tious nature of this whole money con-
troversy.-The Voice, IN. "
No wonder Senator Sherman deter
minel to not carry his campaign for
Mckinley any further west than
Helena, Mont. He addressed a Nc
Kinley and HObert club there last
Saturday and the dispatches say:
"When he mentioned the name of
w. j. Bryan, in referring to him as
McKinley's opponent, the cheering
continued for five minutes so that he
could not proceed. There were some
cheers for Mckinley, but they were
scattering as compared with those for
the democratic nominee"
Major Mckinley has undergone a
wonderful change of late in reference
to the money question. Only a short
time ago he was denSuucing Presi-
dent Cleveland because he was "gold
bug" and In speech at Winchester,
Ohio, few years ago, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, he announced himself
in favor of free silver, and in empba-
citing his position, held up silver
dollar as an object lesson, saying:
"Thls money is good enough for you
and good enough for me. Why should
it not be good enough for the bond
holder?" 1t is, and if Mckinley were
not under the influence of Hanna &
Co., he would say SO today.
The railroads all over the country
oppose the election of Bryan because
of the declarations of the Chicago
platform that oppose the interference
of federal authorities in settling diff.
culties between the corporations and
their laborers. Even the little Astoria
Gable road, now under construction,
has caught the fever and undertakes to
bluff its laborers into supporting Nc
Kinley by announcing that the road
may never be built if Bryan is elected.
The men working. on that road are
receiving about S4. so a week, after
paying for the privilege of getting a
job and living expenses, so they will
hardly be coerced in order to retain
such "paying" job.
An idea of how the sentiment for
Bryan is dying out in the East can be
gained from the following dispatch
giving an account of his visit to Phila-
delphia last Tuesday: 'Mr. Bryan
was greeted in Philadelphia tonight
by crowd which according to the
police and other authorities, exceeded
any outpouring of the people on SINH
lar occasion in the history of the city.
He spoke at the Academy of Music,
which has a seating capacity of about
5000. Every available inch was occu-
pied two hours before Bryan arrived,
and experts estimate the audience at
fully 5000. Gathered in the street out
side of the academy were fully $4,000
people, who stood patientlyiuntil1 1920,
hoping to see Oh hear the candidate"
