A DANGEROUS MAN.

Surprise is expressed that Mr.. Bryan did
not allude to the tariff question in his
notification speech, put there is no occa-
sion for establishment. Mr.. Bryan and
his managers are on record that they are
for free trade, and that they regard protec-
ton as crime against humanity. Time
and again Mr.. Bryan has asserted that he
favors free trade pure and simple, ana
that he would levy an income and excise
tax high enough to provide for Govern
ment expenses.
Mr.. Bryan has acquainted the country
so many times of his purpose to establish
open highways of commerce between the
United States and other countries that
there was no need Of his reiterating mis-
views on that question in Madison-square
Garden. Mr.. Bryan may wobble on the
silver and other questions, but it would be
doing him an injustice to say that he
could be induced to depart from the posi-
tion that protection in any degree to our
industries or industrial operatives would
be wrong.
That Mr.. Bryan is inconsistent no one
will pretend to deny, for his advocacy of
the highest kind of protection to the prod
uct of silver mines at the expense OF
farm, factory. mill apd shop proves il

CANADIAN AGGRESSION.

The announcement that strip of land
containing the richest gold placer mines
in Alaska has been declared Canadian ter
ritory by the arbitrary action of Canadian
officials will serve to recall to public at
tention the carelessness and the indiffer-
ence OF the emocratic administration to
the important subject of the Alaskan boun-
dary and its apparent Willingness to permit
British and Canadian aggression to have
way there unchecked and unhlndered.
The region in question has been hereto
fore considered part of the territory OF
Alaska, and therefore the property of the
United States. American miners ex-
plored the district, discovered its wealth
in gold and began the work of gathering
the precious metal. Not until the rich
ness of the country was made known did
the Canadians pay any attention to it;
but now they have not only claimed it as
their own, but have boldly sent their po-
lice into the district and compelled the
miners to pay miners taxes to the Cana
dian Government.
The only excuse offered for this aggres-
sion is an allegation of the Canadian offi-
cials that an error was made in the former
survey and that they have right to re-
dress it. OF course, no such right is
theirs. Admitting that an error exists in
the survey, the only remedy is by joint
survey to be made by the officials of both
countries. Until that joint survey is made
and boundary line agreed upon the
former line must stand as the dividing
line. Canada has no more right to draw
the line to suit herself than has any pri-
vate individual up there to draw lipe
around the whole gold district and call
it his.
The aggression on the part of the Cana
dians is due wholly to the neglect OF
American interests on this coast by the
Cleveland administrat tien. Asipgls diplo-

fully. But while Mr.. Bryan's knowledge
of the science of economics and trade in
terchange is glaringly superficial, his un-
derstanding of the science OF money is
couspicuously at fault throughout. 1t
would not matter so much however, how
radically opposed to sound economics Mr..
Bryans theories might be, If they were
not entertained by man who does not
hesitate to set brother against brother,
class against class and community against
community for personal advantage. Mr..
Bryan is demagogue, of course, but there
is method in his demagoguery. Mr..
Biyan's consuming ambition to be Presl-
dent makes him the most dangerous man
that has been in public life in many year.
In concluding his Now York speech Mr..
Bryan, referring to the Republican party,
said: "When they assert that this Nation
is helpless to protect the rights of its own
citizens we challenge them to submit
theirs principles of government) to
people whose patriotism has never been
appealed to in vain.' Mr.. Bryan did not
make the direct charge, 1t will be observed,
that the Republican party had asserted
that this Nation is helpless to protect the
rights of its citizens. but he framed the
sentence SO adroitly that no doubt most OF
his hearers got the impression that the
Republican party was pursuing policy
which would transform the soverelgns OF
the United States into vassals of Euro
pean monarchies, and then, with tornado
like rushing of words, he called upon "a
people whose patriotism has never been
appealed to in vain" TO rise in their
might and overthrow this dreadful enemy
of the people-the Republican party.
Does any one doubt that Mr.. Bryan's pur-
pose was to stir even to the blood-letting
point the baser nature Of his hearers?
1t is a harsh thing to say, but Mr..
Bryan lied-knowingly, willfuliy, wick
edIy and maIiciously lied - when be
said, by implication though it was,
that the Republican party ever
asserted, ever thought of asserting
or ever supposed that this Nation is help
less to protect the rights of its own
citizens. If Mr.. Bryan will read the his
tory of the events in this country between
1861 and 1866 he may conclude that the
party which protected the rights OF the
people from the reasonable purpose OF
his party, then under the leadership Of
Jeff Davis, is fully able to protect them
from Bryan mobs and foreign monarchles.

THE CHAMPION OF LABOR.
Cleveland Leader.

No man who has been in public life during
the past third of q century mas been better or
truer friend of the people than William Nc
Kinley. His early associations were with men
who did hard work at the mills and furnaces
of Eastern Ohio, and it was his interest in
their welfare which induced him upon his
first election to Congress to begin q careful
and close study OF the tariff question. All the
time he was member of the House of Repre-
sentatives he was firm and consistent friend
of the workingmen, and an evidence that he
Is still regarded as their friend has been
furnished by the large delegations of workers
in the mills, potteries, mines and factories OF
Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, who have gone to visit him at
his home since his nomin alton for the Presl-
dency.
Major Mckinley has made many speeches in
which he has discussed the labor question, Dut
he said few things in his Labor day address
at Cincinnati in 1891, which ought to be re-
produced at this time. Here are few senten-
ces from that speech.
There is nothin ng too good for the men who WORK

pushing age are too few, altogether too fews ana

THE sPOILs OF OFFICE.

There is more danger to the peace and
dignity of the country than most people
suppose in the demand of the Chicago
platform that the civil service law be re-
pesled. It is direct offer to ward bosses
and other professional political workers to
work for Bryan in consideration of fat
offices in case the Democratic ticket is
elected. The idea of the Democracy is to
return to the spoils system, and the
declaration in the platform is to notify
heelers and ote-brokers that the standard
of qualification for Government positions
will be efficiency in campaign work. 1t
was the spoils of office plank in the plat
form that won Tammany and the Chicago
machine over 10 Bryan, and it is what is
turning a certain disreputa bic element in
all the larger cities into the Bryan ranks.
1t wonld be calamity to the whole
country if political dishonest work is made
the one essential qualification for public
office, bat that is the policy of Bryan. 1t
is TO secure that element that he appeals
to the vicious to stir up trouble between
labor and capital. He knows very well
that the ward boss has influence in pro-
portion to the outlook to rob the people,
dnQ bryan pTUpOSeb 10 IeCOL1p peuec u4Iu III
a way that the bosses steals will be regu-
lated by their own sense of honor. 1t is a
most desperate and reckless plan to turn
the cities more especially over 20 the
toughs, but Bryan wants to be President,
and the end iustifes the means.
1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Bryan's reputa-
tion for uprightness of character that he
should try to inaugurate war of classes
and promise Office TO the lowest element
in the community for creating trouble be-
tween employe and employer in the
Nations industrial life. He was known
to be very ordinary man in point OF
craftsmanship, but the people were glad
to know that he was man of high sense
of honor and thoroughly committed to a
sound code of political ethics. In view OF
his hearty Endorsement of the spoils OF
Office plank of the platform of his party,
and the "tips" that sent Tammany into
the field to work for him, it would seem
that Mr.. Bryan is, after all, very much Of
a politician of the school that believe in
making public office thing to pay cam
paign debts with. However, if he is or
was under pay of the silver mine owners
association to secure the free coinage of
the white metal for the sole purpose OF
doubling its market value, the spoils OF
office plank in his platform would not
cause him to lay awake of nights.

THE TRUE FRIEND OF SILVER

If to be friendly to silver is to want
to make it q worldwide basis with
gold for redemption money, then the Re-
publican party is silver's friend. If to
make silver the sole basis for redemption
in this country and have it at enmity with
the people of countries with whom we
have business transactions is an evidence
of friendship for it, then the Democratic
party is it's friend. Candidate Bryan says
there is no doubt about the Republican
party being for bimetalIism, but he thinks
the party is wrong in not sacrificing 50, ,000,-
600, 900 of American trade with other ma
tions annually for the supposed glory of
trying to cram our silver dollars down the
throats of other nations whether they like
them or not.
The Democratic plan is to take all the
worlds offerings of silver bullion, convert
it into dollars representing discount of
nearly half their face value, aud then tell
the world If it does not take them at the
value their stamp says they possess 1t will
have to suspend business operations with
the people of the United States. But it is
unfortunate for the Democratic plan that
our farmers more especially need the
other nations TO buy their produce more
than the other nations need our farm
products, and with Democratic free trade
prevailing the little home market farmers
now have would be swept away. Not only
so, but under such conditions our people
would have very little use for money of
any kind. There would be no business to
call for the employment of money under
free trade and silver monometallism.
The Republican party is firm in the be-
lief that not only is our present business
with other peoples, amounting to $1,000
100000 annually, worth saving, but it
should be increased as much as possible.
To think of increasing it, however, by
arbitrarily fixing a standard of money
and making it the basis of trade inter-
course the Republican party believes
would be foolish. The question of a
monetary system is not one of sentiment
nor of politics. 1t is common, BUSINESS
sense matter, and unless it conforms to
the requirements of commerce, commerce
would withdraw from the country that
refused to make its standard of redemp-
ton money harmonic with the law of
trade exchange. 1t is for this reason that
the Republican party is for plan that
will reinstate silver in all the channels of
commerce at the same time and in way
that commerce would be satisfied.
The Republican party Is the sincere
friend of bimetallism, because it wants to
secure it upon permanent and universal
basis. The Democratic party is the enemy
of silver, because it wants to force the
other nations to antagonize its coinage by
refusing to invite them to a conference
where the basis of silver coinage could be
agreed upon, to the end that silver
dollar would pass at it's face value the
same as GOLD in any market in the world.
The Republican party is for bimetallism.
