FROM BRYAN'S HOME,
political Notes and Observations
from the Popocrat Candi-
dates Own City.
HIS PLATFORM ANALYZED,

dice in the Interest of Sill
yer Mine Owners.
HIS PLATFORM ANALYZED,

Business men are studying the money
question. Mr. Bryan has seen fit to
tell his audiences over and over again
that the business men Of the country are
against free silver partly because they
don't know anything about the question
and partly because they are dishonest.
In this Mr.. Bryan misleads his follow
ors and misreprescnts the business men.
1t may be true that what is called free
silver agitation st.rtcd first among the
farmers rather than among the business
men, but later the business men have
read the free-silvcr literature, have read
both sides of the question, until at the
present time the business men of the
nation are thoroughly informed from a
business standpoint and from a nOnpar-
tisan standpoint on the money question.
1t is probably true that the politicians
that oppose silver are moved by prejudice
and Self-lntereSt to a certain degree just
as the politicians who favor free silver
are moved by Self-interest TO a certain
degree. but the business men, the men
who are managing the business concerns
Of the country, the bankers, and the
fnanCiers have made it a part of their
business to read up on the money Ques-
ton, TO become thoroughly informed. and
they have passed upon the question from
a business and not from a political stand
point. Mr.. Bryan, recognizing the NOR
al force Of the business Judgment of the
country and knowing that this business
judgment condemns free coinage as a
dangerous thing. seeks TO dIScredit the
business mind Of the country by denounc-
ing it as ignorant ana dishonest on the
money question. Mr.. Bryan Processes
to desire restoration of the industries
Of this country. At the same time he
deuOunces the business men of the COun~
try and proposes a plan which he knows
they are afraid Of.

The threat of free trade in the cam
paign of '92 and in the election of 81
frightened the business mind of the coun-
try. first into dstruSt and doubt and then
into a panic. the effect of which is still
on. The question above all others at
this time is how to remove this business
depression from the business mind. Mr.
Bryan says that free coinage will revive
the industries but at the same time he
admits that the business mind IS against
it and is afraid of it. The effect of this
threat of free coinage is to make every
capitalist hide his money. to make every
banker afraid of investments TO make
every dollar creep into the darkest corner
of the safety vault, and by this process of
money hiding and money boarding which
is now going on all over the United
States, the circulating money of the
country is disappearing from active use
faster than all the government minis
could coin new money if they were now
under a free coinage law.

Whether 800 or 5000 men are employed
at the Burlington machines shops at Lin
coin. Nebraska. during the next four
years. depends not upon the political
judgment of the men who are employed
in these machine shops. but upon the
business Judgment of those VINO must fur
niSh money TO pay for this labor. And
this business judgment. looking always to
the financial policy of the government for
signs Of business safety or of business
danger. is inspired with confidence or is
inspired with fear as it intprDrctS the
business prosperity of the future by the
political conditions Of the future. If this
business mind secs in the election of
Bryan and cheap money signs of future
StagnatiOn and depression. then it is but
natural that it should keep the number of
men employed to the very least possible
limit. People who ride in the Burlington
trains along by the town of Havelock
near Lincoln where these machine shops
are located. can see the signs Of business
depression and can interpret the doubt
that Is IN the mind Of the directors Of the
road, when they soc the side tracks lined
with broken engines which the small
force Of men employed are not able to
repair. If the lahoring people of the East
wore at work today there would be a
market i'm these great CenterS of industry
in the East for Nehraska'S food product
ana then these great railroad systems
would require every engine and every car
which they own to he in repair and all
the wheels would he kept rolling night
and day carrying the great crops Of Kan
saS. Nebraska and Iowa to the food-con-
Stunning East. This condition would en-
ploy labor and give value to farm prod
ucts. The whole theory Of Western sue
cess depends upon the activity of Eastern
industry and the activity of Eastern in
dustry depends upon the faith and conf
dence of the Eastern business mind.

Alr. Bryan and his corps of free silver
orators constantly denounce idle capital.
Ar. Bryan knows that idle capital is al
Ways the result of lack of confidence
lie also knows that idle capital makes
ldIe men. If one set of men have the
capital and another set of men who
are workers stand ready to be employed
by tins capital. then there must be a
condition of harmony between the Deople
who own the capital and the men who
stand ready to 90 to work or there will
hc no work If plan is proposed which
makes capital afraid and if the workers
stand ready by their votes and their ma
Jorltes to carry ont this plan. then it is
but natural that the men who control
the capital, being afraid of his new plan.
VIII hoard their capital and keep it idle
rather than risk it under conditions
which they believe will be disastrous
Does 1t then avail anything to the labor
ing man that this capital is denounced
as the enemy of the country? Edison was

having evolved by his own exertions out
of a condition where he was a worker
with his hands only, into a condition
where he has become great mind force
which controls industry, is vastly more
important to labor than he was before.
Then he could consent to the employment
of only one man. himself. Now he can
consent to the employment of thousands
of men, and whether they are employed
or not depends more upon his judgment
than upon their own. The industries of

Obituary.

In memory Of Julius L Garren, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. Garren, died Nov. 81,
1896.
Our brother is dead More pitiful
words were never framed by human lips.
But life is bubble that comes and goes
like the waves upon the seashore and
like them it asks not our consent. But
nature is kind. Before our birth she
gaurds our life; in death she folds us in
dreamlees sleep. and with the pail
comes rest. Butfor our dead we have no
fears, and no tears for him shall pave the
way to natures rest. We miss the dear
one from our presence and our part is
hardest now. But in the weary years to
come, had he lived, when thorns might
pierce his feet on the dusty highway Of
life and we were powerless to smooth the
way, how hard our part would have
been then. He has missed it all and il
is all his gain. and though our selfish
love would call him back again. it's better
as it is.
Dear brother thou hast left U.s.
And our hearts are lonely now.
But tho shadows FOLD about
Care shall never mar thy brow.
Sod heart. despsnd not wholly,
The sun viii shine asais.
What tho the rain beats ever
With black clouds bending lew.
T.ss hs.rt; nor lose The pr,niss
The dArA sst cloud, It's told
Hs. brightest beams Of light:
Despair not then. bend brayely
Thy p,uons for fresh flight.

response to an inquiry as to the senti-
ment OF the people OF the Western Slope
upon the question OF reduction OF ex-
penses. You can make it Just as strong
as you like. Over on the Western Slope
we are rustling with all our might to

that the salaries OF public officers ought
to come down. The salaries were high
even in good times, and when we arc

Rency. it is too much to ask the taxpayers
to keep up the lick which might have
been all right five years ago."

WILL WRITE a LETTER.

The PreEident Has Something to Saw ON
the Money Question.
NEW YORK, Sept. President
glevela9d's visit to this city, the prime
object Of which was the reception Of the
renowned Chinese ambassador, Lii Hung
Chang, afforded him at the same time
an excellent opportunity Of discussing
the political situation with the sound
money members of his cabinet. It is
understood Mr.. Cleveland told the gen.
tlemen present that he would shortly
issue an open letter on the money ques-
tion, and that he had wished to consult
them as to it's details. The discussion
was prolonged for more than an hour,
preceding the lunch served in Mr..
Whltney's house, and was also con-
tinued during that repast.
1t was not possible to ascertain
whether the talk was assisted by a
rough draft Of the proposed letter, but
this seems more than probable, in view
OF the oft repeated assertion that Mr..
Cleveland long ago resolved to utilize
the occasion of this visit to New York
to talk with the sound money members
OF his cabinet on this very question.
