TO DEMOCRATS.

The lastappeal and warning to voters,
together with an estimate OF the Bryan
vote in the electoral college, was issued
by Senator Jones on behalf of the demo,
cratic national committee in Chicago
Saturday night as follows;
1.-THE great struggle to right the
wrong of 1878 has been won. The on
" work remaining to be done is to see
that the people have the opportunity to
vote as their consciences dictate, and
that their votes shall be counted as
cast
81 urge all lovers of the country and
our institutions to exert themselves as
they never have before in this holy
cause. Watch the polling places, scrut-
inize every act at the polls, and see to
it that the law shall not be violated.
"This committee has offerd reward
of $500 for evidence necessary to con-
vict any one guilty of bribing or attempt
ing to bribe any voter to vote or to re-
frain from voting; also reward of $500
for evidence to convict any one OF
coercing, attempting to coeTce, lntlml'
dating or attempting to intimidate any
voter.
"Mr Hearst, of New York Journal,
with the patriotism and liberality which
has characterized him throughout this
struggle, has offered an additional re-
ward of 81 900 for the same purpose.
These rewards will result in the detec-
ton OF any attempt to corrupt or CO.
cree the voters and will defeat the re-
publican conspiracy to steal the cleo
ton.
81 have received from the chairman of each
OF our State committees full estimates Of the
standing of voters in each State and am con-
fdent that Mr.. Bryan's election is assured by
q very large msjority. He will carry the fol-
lowing States:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan,

MONDAY EVENING, NOV. ., 1896.

A RAILROAD president who goes
about making speeches for financial
system which efiectually destroys the
farming class and discourages produc'
ton is really the worst enemy OF MS
own railroad. Railroad profits are
based on passenger fares and freights.
If the farmer is too poor to travel, the
railroad loses his fare. If the farmer
cannot produce at a profit, he will not
produce or ship farm products, and the
railroad loses the freights. If the farm
er is impoverished by the gold standard
he cannot buy and the goods shipped
70 the farmers are therefore reduced IN
value. Here again the railroad loses.
No wonder so many of these roads are
in the hands of receivers and practically
bankrupt. The gold standard has done
il. The stockholders suffer and posi-
Div the bond holders may suffer also;
but it sometimes happens that rail-
road comes to grief while its officers
and managers are rich and thriving
RAILROAD wrecking" has become
one of the fine arts OF wall
street. Nothing can be more evil
dent than that the true interests
OF production and of transporta-
ton of products are in harmony, and II
railroads are run for the benefit OF
stockholders and the public, free silver
coinage is what they need to lift them
out of the mire they are now in. We
are aware that they want government
by injunction" to reach strikers, but it
would be better to adopt system that
will give US good times, and then
trouble with the railroad employees
would very rarely, if ever occur. All
would thrive and there would be no
strikes to bother them.

AN APPEAL TO GOLD DEMOCRATS TC
VOTE FOR BRYAN.
Campaign Chairman Campau. of the
Democratic National Committee, de.
clared that he has information which
justifies the assertion that the "repubi.
can national committee has formally
instructed the Hanna Hessians, who
have been supporting or pretending to
support Palmer and Buckner, to throw
oil their masks and vote and work d.
rectly for Mckinley" Mr. Campau has
issued the following appeal
Honest Palmer men will Indignantly
spurn the suggestion that they vote for
William Mckinley We cordially in
vite all of them who do not wish to do
Mark Hanna's bidding or to follow
leaders who have deceived them to
come with us and cast their votes for
the regularly nominated candidate.
Do not permit men VINO have deceived
you as to their true position in the cam
paign still to influence or control your
votes. You have travelled long enough
with men who are disloyal to their
party and have now proven disloyal
to you. The candidate of the demo-
cratic party is going to win next Tues
day. Come with us and be with him
in his hour of victory

WHAT COUNTRY was ever injured by
having too much gold and silver, or
specie money? Does history supply an
example Of country that has not had
its industries quickened and developed
by an influx of specie money? Look at
the hundred years and more following
the outcome of the great silver and gold
mining discoveries of Peru and Mexico.
Look at the unbounded prosperity fol.
lowing the discovery of gold in Aus
tralia and California. Those were the
most progressive and happy days in
American history. Many countries, in
Guiding our own, have been injured by
an excess of paper issues, but not one by
too much of gold and silver. That con-
traction of the money volume is curse,
no candid man can deny. In two years
we have had contraction as shown by
the Treasury tables of one hundred and
fifty million dollars. To abrogate the
use of either gold or silver means con-
traction of the currency, an arrest OF
production and hardship to debtors.
The gold advocates tell us that for a
number of years past we have been on
the gold standard. From 1873 to 1880
we coined twenty to thirty millions Of
silver dollars per annum. We were far
better of then than now. Will any man
say he is better off now than he was
then? Are the hard times we have had
as the result of the gold standard going
to be changed for the better by a
double dose of what has done the mis-
chief? Do we not need change in our
financial policy? If so, the way to get
it is to vote for Bryan, and not for the
ticket of Mark Hanna and Mckinley.
That means more contraction and more
bond issues.

IT Is A striking fact that the British
press is taking deep interest in our
contest and are profoundly anxious for
McKinley's election. They helped to
start the blackguard TRADE against the
democracy. On the surface, it would
seem that the protective tariff policy
favored by Mckinley would deter
them from supporting him, but the ex-
PLANTATION of it all is quite easy. In the
first place, under the gold standard they
have no fear of not competing success
fully with the American manufacturer
With the free coinage of silver they
would have great doubt of being able
to compete with our manufactereIs.
But there are other reasons for their
hostility to Bryan. Great Britain has
enormous investments in stocks, bonds
and other properties in the United
States. They are reckoned as equal TO
the enormous sum of five thousand
millions of dollars. What the British
owners desire is to draw the principal
and interest of these investments in
gold and to have that metal constantly
growing in value or in purchasing
power. This will make the drain much
harder on us; but John Bull does not
care for that. His interest is not our
interest, but to get as much out of us
as possible. There is another motive.
The democrats are and always have
been the American party of the land.
They are not sycophants to Great
Britain. They may be relied on to
maintain American honor and Ameri-
can interests. England can we'll afford
to put up millions of dollars to defeat
Bryan, and there is no doubt that q
good deal of the republican campaign
fund came from the other side of the
water.

Mr.. Bryan.s Final Tour.

LINCOLN. Neb, Nov. 2-Wm. ]. Bry-

able campaign tour early this morning.

The EXCITEMENT and disorder of the
present campaign are not unnatural.
There would have been little of either
if the contest had been an open one be-
tween the republicans and the demo.
Gratis, but when men calling themselves
democrats make public speeches in
favor of electing a republican Presi-
dent, and denounce democrats as anar-
chists, it is not at all wonderful that
the latter should scout the trick and re-
sent the insult.

party.

We EXPECT nothing, of course, from
the negroes, for they are naturally hos
tile to the white man, or have been
made so, especially to the poor white
man who is preferred to them; but the
white laborer who votes for the gold
tickets doing himselfa great injury. His
interest cannot be separated from that
of the farmer. Production to the full
est extent means prosperity and conse-
quent employment for labor. Diminish
production by adopting the gold stand
ard and the farmer suffers. He cannot
sell his farm products at fair prices and
he therefore cuts down his purchases.
He cannot consume. The laborer and
the operative soon feel the blow, for as
orders and consumption decrease, en-
Payments also decrease and then there
are two men seeking one Job. This Is
the case in the United States to-day.
The case is we'll put by working man
in this way: "With every fall OF
prices of its products organized
labor suffers reduction in wages.
Organized labor can largely effect
and does effect wages, but neither or
ganized or unorganized labor can
make more jobs. Free coinage will
help the wage earners in this way /.
Free coinage will put more money io
circulation, more money will raise
prices, raised prices will encourage in
vestments of capital, Investments of
capital will create demand for labor,
and the demand for labor raises
wages" On the other hand, the gold
standard produces contraction, dimin-
isbes production, reduces prices, stops
new enterprises, breaks up old ones
and turns the laborer adrift to scufile
as he may. The friends of this system
mean only profit for themselves, and
they are the assassins of industry.

lionaires to pay their share of the gov
ernment's expenses. and who is opposed
to a system by which email privlleg-
ed class shall hold for life all the offices
under the government, should, when he
goes to the polls tomorrow, scratch the
names of all the candidates for Presl-
dent and Vice President, except those
of Bryan and sewall, and those OF all
the candidates for Congress, except that
of the democratic candidate in his dis
trict, and scratch no other names on the
ticket, letting the names of ali the elec-
tors alone. Having done this, he
should see to it that all his friends aud
acquaintance shall do likewise. One
day in such cause is day we'll
spent. AS the secrecy of the ballot is
enjoined by both the constitution and
laws of the State, it must be strictly en-
forced. That secrecy would be utterly
abolished if every man who votes for
Mckinley either cries out at the polls
that he has done so, or exposes his bal
lot, as they are advised to do by the
McKinleyites and their assistants, for
then, of course, all who don't do SO
will be known to have voted for Bryan.
Therefore the judges of election should
cause the arrest and Imprisonment OF
every man who may thus violate the
laws of the State. They should also
cause the immediate arrest of every
man, except law officers, and the voter
on his way to the polls, who may en-
croach upon the one hundred feet space
around the ballot box, and, when IN
formed that men are keeping TALES
farther off, so to ntimidate employees
by being able tc report to their en-
ployers how they have voted, they
should cause them also to be arrested
and locked up in jail. With competent
and efficient law officers, the vote i'll all
parts of Virginia will be freely cast and
fairly counted, and, therefore, and
only naturally, show large majority
for the principles declared for by the
State democratic convention, and for
the ticket nominated by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the delegates to the ma
tional convention Of the democratic
