woMAN's WORK In THE CAMPAIGN.


Never was there before a presidential
campaign in which the women of the
country have taken such an active part
as in the present struggle.
In three states of the Union. Wyo.
ming, Colorado and Utah, women have
the same voting privileges as men: but
feminine interests In the campaign are
by no means limited to those states.
Intelligent women all over the country
seem to feel that the contest has an Inn
portant bearing upon the welfare OF their
households. They think that the cause
of protection and sound money is bound
up with the prosperity of the family,
and they feel a great interest in the Re
publican presidential candidate because
of the nobility of his character and his
devotion to his home life.
The Woman's bureau 10 under the d.
rection of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, the we'll
known orator and political writer of Des
Moines. Ia, for several years president
of the Woman's National Republican as
ISOLATION. The bureau Is esta blished in
commodious quarters in the Auditorium
Annex, Chicago. quite away from the
noise and activities of the national COM
mittee, where Mrs. Foster is provided
with every convenience, and assisted by
capable aids.
The Woman's Republican association
is composed of thinking, active women
women intensely alive to the best inter
ests of their country and homes. The
Woman's association is not suffrage
association. Many of it's members do
not believe in suffrage at oil. 1t is not
moral reform association, although
many of it's members are engaged in the
nh ny rnnios anI rafnrYnc which illN-
mine this decade of our national history.
| They do not seek to" utilize the Repub-
| lican association to advance any of these
reforms. Its members are simply, and
| all the time. Republicans, laboring for
| the support of the principles of that
party and for the election of its candi-
dates.
Mrs. Fosters immediate associates
and assistants in the work are women
| of capabilities in various lines. Mrs.
| Thomas w. Chace, the general score
tary, resides in East Greenwich, Il: l.,
and from there exercises watchful
care for the work in the New England
| states. Mrs. Chace has an extensive ac-
| quaintance and is identified with many
great charities, philanthropies and soci-
| cites, aside from her political duties.
| The national treasurer. Miss Helen Var
wick Boswell of New York city, has su-
| pervision over the headquarters OF her
state, located at 1873 Broadway. Miss
Boswell has inaugurated the plan of per
sonal visits among the women in the
tenement districts of New York, for the
purpose of showing the women the mean
Ing of the free coinage of silver and how
it will affect the purchasing power OF
their dollars. She finds these women
with well-defined views on the currency
question and ready to defend them, as
they do in insisting that the voters In
the .polls. Miss Boswell has enlisted a
large number of young business women
to help spread the doctrines; of sound
money and protection and to help secure
votes for the Republican candidates.

Free Wool and Free Silver.

During the many weary months after
the Wilson German tariff had given the
death blow to the wool industry free
trade journals assured their readers that
the blow would not be fatal. In time the
industry would revive. Considerable pru-
dence was manifested as to dates, but the
prediction was confident that In the
course of time the industry would re-
cover from its paralysis. The Philadel-
pha Record was one of the most SAN
guine of these free traders. That journal
simply knew that its theories could not
be wrong. Free wool must and would
enable our manufacturers to recover the
home market for wooden goods and grad
ually get a good hold on the markets
of the world. In recent issue the Rec
ord threw up the sponge. 1t admits that
free wool is not strong enough to carry
free silver The confidence with which
it attributes the failure of its free wool
theory to some other persons free silver
theory would, If transferred to the money
market, revive business even in these free
trade times. Says the Record:
THE distrust engendered by the sill
yer craze has checked sales of manu-
featured goods. increased the percent
age of idle mills and so narrowed the
outlet and crippled the financial re-
sources of Eastern distributors of wool
that the latter have practically ceased
markets, and in many cases have re-
fused to make even reduced cash adj
vanccs on consignments."
The silver craze did not materialize
until free wool had had nearly three
years in which to show what it could
do. During all that time the wool in
dustry went from bad to worse. Now
the people are asked 10 believe that
free silver did all the mischief.-St. Jo-
SeDh (MoD Herald. '

speech in front of the Hotel Lincoln,
someone asked, What about Mr., Sew
alp Donnelly replied, II know moth
ing of Mr.. Sewall and don't want any
thing to do with him. II had my way
he would come off of that ticket in
twenty-four hours" Mr.. Donnelly then
went into a bitter TRADE against all
bankers and business men in general,
and the laboring men who heard him
applauded his utterances. Now 1t must
have occurred to the more thoughtful of
these laboring men that every days work
and every dollar paid to labor must first
be thought out and planned by some
business mind. Before labor can begin
in any industry there must be some
thought force and some business judS-
ment which passes upon the plans of
that industry and believes that it will
succeed. There must be financiers.
bankers and capitalists to consent and
their consent must be based upon the
faith that the industry will succeed. If
Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. Bryan were CAPT
talists and business men, then they
themselves might promise employment
to labor. Or, if the plans proposed by
Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. Bryan were re-
ceiving the endorsement of the business
judgment of others who have capital,
then it might seem reasonable that free
COINAGE might revive industry and bring
better times.

Almost the first thing done by Mrs.
Foster after opening her headquarters,
was to issue an appeal to the patriotic
organize committees or clubs for study
of the issues of the campaign, and to
help promote the cause of national unity
and protection. The responses have been
most gratifying, coming as they have
from Oregon to New Jersey. These
women are directed in their work of Or
ganiznq and advised how to make their
efforts effective. The weapons of the
women are personal appeal and litera-
ture. These are used to convince the
women that their own personal welfare,
including the interests Of children and Of
the home. are on the side of the Repub-
lican party. This conviction assured
little doubt remains as to how the vote
influenced by these women will be cast.

Mr.. Bryan and his corps of free silver
orators constantly denOunce idle capital.
Mr. Bryan knows that idle capital is al
ways the result of lack of confidence
He also knows that idle capital makes
idle men. If one set of men have the
capital and another set of men who
are workers stand ready TO be employed
by this capital, then there must be a
condition of harmony between the people
who own the capital and the men who
stand ready to go to work or there will
be no work. If plan is proposed which
makes capital afraid, and if the workers
stand ready by their votes and their ma
jOrities to carry out this plan, then it is
but natural that the men who control
the capital, being afraid of his new plan,
Will hoard their capital and keep it idle
rather than risk it under conditions
which they believe will be disastrous
Does it then avail anything to the labor
ing man that this capital is denounced
as the enemy of the country? Edison was
once labOring man, but is now a cap
italist. When he was n laboring man his
opinions and his plans were in a certain
degree dependent upon the plans and the
opinions of some one else. When Edi-
son was labOrer. employed in con-
structing machines, whether he was en-
ployed or not depended upon his en-
ployer. If the employer found by expert
| ence that the work in which he was en-
gagged was improbable to him, then Mr.
Edison lost his job. Now, Mr.. Edison
having evolved by his own excrtions out
of n condition where he was n 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 car
consent to the employment of thousands
of men, and whether they are employed
or not depends more upon his judgmen
than upon their own. The industries O.
the world, no matter who is employed il
them, have always been and always will
be under the control and direction o
mind. Majorities have nothing to d.
with it except as the majorities are il

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 who 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 interprets the
business prosperity of the future by the
political conditions of the future If this
business mind sees in the election Of
a Bryan and cheap money signs of future
stagnatlon 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 Hayelock
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 see the side tracks lined
with broken engines which the small
force OF men employed are not able to
repair. If the labOring people of the East
were at work today there would be n
market in these great centers of industry
III the East for Nebraska's food product,
ana then these great railroad systems
would require every engine and every car
which they own to be in repair and all
the wheels would be 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.
