HANNA'S CAMPAIGN FUND

James Creelman in the New York
World, gold newspaper, writes as fol-
lows: The worst element in this cam
paign is the part which Mark Hanna's
fund is playing. Candor compels me to
give the facts without regard to whether
Mr.. Bryan election would be a good
thing or bad thing. There is plenty
OF evidence, in my opinion, to show that
this is rapidly becoming the most corrupt
and corrupting political struggle known
to the American people.
Bryan may be defeated, but the in
fluence of money and of Mark Hanna S
methods upon the voters of Wisconsin in
common with the voters of other States,
will not disappear after election day.
Let me give one example. speak of
matter know and understand The
Reliance Machine Works, owned by the
Edward p. Allis Company are situated
in Milwaukee. There are employed in
this establishment something like SOC
men. Here the Bryan sentiment is very
strong.
1t is an absolute fact that eighteen
working men in this establishment are
at this moment on the Republican State
committee as secret political agitators.
Their companions are ignorant of this
fact and do not suspect it.
The result is that these men have an
influence which they could not possibly
WELD were the truth known.
The Republican committee has also, |
am Informed, upon its pay-rlols a large
number OF men in another establishment,
which employs about 1900 workingmen.
In several factories in New York gold
standard arguments are pinned each
week to the envelopes containing wages.
The Republican committee has also
sent men. into the mining district of
Wisconsin to offer s. in Mexican silver

GIVE THE DEBTOR THE OPTION.

If the creditor has the right to choose
the metal in which payment Shall be
made, it is reasonable to suppose that he
will require the debtor to pay in the
dearer metal if there is any perceptible
difference between the bullion values of
the metals. This new demand created
for the dearer metal will make that metal
cheaper still. If, on the other hand. the
debtor exercises the option, it is reason
able to suppose that he will pay in the
cheaper metal if one metal is perceptibly
cheaper than the other; but the demand
thus created for the cheaper metal will
raise its price, while the lesscned demand
for the dearer metal will lower it's price.
In other words, when the creditor has the
option, the metals are drawn apart;
whereas, when the debtor has the option.
the metals are held together. Society is.
therefore, interested i'll having the option
exercised by the debtor. Indeed, there
can be no such n thing ms real bimetal-
lism unless the option is exercised by the
debtor. The exercise of the option by the
debtor compells the creditor classes

A GENEROUS OFFER.

The Now York Journal offers to give
a dollar for every dollar sent it for the
national campaign fund. The Journal
says: "To equal the great fund at the
command of Mr.. Hanna the Democratic
party cannot attempt, but, what is bet
ter, it need not attempt it. 1t has with
1T no multo-millionaires, no great trusts
and enormous corporations, but it has
the advantage of favorable popular
sentiment which relieves it of the sneces-
sity OF lavish expenditures. 1t is per-
fectly safe to ssay that the Democratic
party can fight this campaign with less
money than it had ever at its disposal in
a national campaign before. But it is
necessary to say that forever campaign
of volunteers, for campaign which has
so stirred the hearts of the people that
little money is needed, the national com.
mittee is all too ill-equipped with funds.
The gold side of the great debate now
pending will be presented with all the
force that unlimited talent, backed with
unlimited means, can command For q
wise decision the silver side ought to be
equally we'll presented. If, after full de-
cision the American people should decide
that the st. Louis platform had stated
the true financial doctrine, the decision
should be entitled to all respect, but. if
Judgment should be entered without an
opportunity for fair consideration the
fact would be a national misfortune. If
this is to be campaign of education, in
the true sense, the. Construction must not

whether domestic or foreign, to exert
themselves to maintain the parity be-
tween gold and silver at the legal ratio,
whereas they might find n profit in driv-
ing one of the metals to premium If they
could demand the dearer metal The
right of the debtor to choose the coin in
which payment shall be made extends to
obligation from the government as we'll as
to contracts between individuals.
A government obligation is simply a
debt due from all the people to one of the
people, and it is impossible to justify a
policy which makes the interest of the
one person who holds the obligation SUI
perior to the rights of the many who
must be taxed to pay it.

SIXTEEN TO ONE.

The Chicago platform presents a clear
and emphatic demand for the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any 9th ar
nation. We are not asking that a new
experiment be tried; we are insisting upon
return to financial policy approved by
the experience of.history and supported
by all the prominent statesmen of our
nation from the days of the first Presi-
dent down to 1878. When we ask that
our minis be opened to the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver into full legal
tender money, we are simply asking that
the same mint privileges be accorded to
silver that are now accorded to gold.
Under the bimetallc system gold and sill
yer are linked together by law at fixed
ratio, and any person or persons owning
any quantity of either metal can have the
same converted into full legal tender
money

Advices from Washington are to the
effect that the administration will.wape
a relentless war against all office holders
under the Government who support the
Chicago nominees Mr.. Cleveland it is
said, feels that the Campaign of Mr..
Bryan is more directly an attack upon
the policy OF his administration than
upon any policy that the Republican
party has been responsible for, and he is
determined to make all Government
officials who declare for the Chicago
ticket feel the full weight of his dis
pleasure. If he could abrogate the civil
service rules for the time being he would
no doubt make a clean sweep of all OBJ
posed to his policy. Consistency is in
deed jewel, and, politically the man in
the White House is anything but CON
sistent. He has the reputation, however
OF being great hater, and, so far as the
general public is aware, he has lived up
to that reputation most vigorously ever
since his entrance into national politics.
