Mr.. Bryan Writes in the
American Review.
Claims There Has Been a
Gain for BimetalliSm.
Gold Standard Democrats Cannot 90
Much in 1900, He Says

New York, Dec. 1.-The December
number Of The American Review con-
tains an article written by William Jen-
nings Bryan. in the course OF which he
discusses the result of the election as
enecting the status of the silver Ques-
ton. The issue on which the election
turned he described as the greatest is

pie in time Of peace"

and within the last four months mora
people have been simultaneously en-
gagged in its consideration than ever be-
fore in the history of the world. The re-
suit OF this study Mr.. Bryan declares to
be temporary defeat, but permanent
gain for the cause of bimetallism."
Mr.. Bryan regards II as a significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had been
longer considered; that is TO say in the
west and south. In Bryan's opinion, the
cause Of bimetallism made more rapid
progress than any cause ever made In
such a short time. Mr.. Bryan expresses
MS assurance lHdl the SiSNtioh Ndh cS

settlement of the question at issue. The
advocates OF free coinage are convinced.
he says. that they are laboring in ehalf
of a large majority Of the people, not only
here, ,but throughout the world; and. ac-
cording to the writer. they propose to
continue the contest, confident that four
more years of experience will convince
many who have thus far resisted argu-
ment. This confidence. Mr.. Bryan says,
is confirmed by the history of recent
elections. Mr.. Greeley was defeated in
1872, and yet Mr.. Tilden was elected In
1876.
Mr. Blaine was defeated in 1882. but
Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1888. The
Republican victory of 1888 was followed
by the Democratic victory Of 1892, and

that they will try to secure international

In regard TO the gold standard Dem.

cannot do as much in 1900 as they have
done this year. They have decreased
their affection for Democratic principles

success of the opposing ticket. They

ACCORDING to the New York Tribune
a very curious point mas been submitted
to the Derbyshire Football Association
for decision. 1t is as 10 wnctDer srtin-
cial limb are TO be per nitted In the
play. 1t seems that the Buxton Foot
ball Club had several members OF its
team severely injured in consequence
of a memb Of the Matlock eleven hay-
ING played with an artincial arm. II was
reported that in Derbyshire alone there
are nulnb Der of football players who,
owing TO the loss OF an arm, use artia-
cial limbs. They are described as "re-
gular terrors" on the football field, since
when they once get "on" TO the ball they
swing thor dummy arm: around with
such force as TO either fracture skulls or
cause concussiop OF the brain. Ii has
now been determined by the association
tnst artificial lin bs are henceforth to be
barred in all football games.

Porter of New York. General Porter and
Senator Lodge were the only guests at
the meal. The stream of visitors which
began early In the morning continued
during the afternoon, and il was one
of the busiest days Major Mckinley has
experienced. Aside from the members
of congress and other distinguished
visitors there was an unusually large
number Of people. who madepurelys social
calls to pay their respects. and many
entire strangers, who merely called to
shake hands. Senator Lodge. when seen
at the station, declined TO discuss the
object of his call or the probability Of

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 1.-Frank
Flickenger. member of the sophomore
class at the Worcester polytechnic in
stitute, disappeared from this city two
weeks ago last Friday. and nothing has
been seen of him since then, although
his student friends have made an active
search to ascertain his whereabouts.
Flickenger was one OF the students who
were suspended recently for participat-
ing In a bonfire on the institute grounds,
and II was while he was under suspen-

THE TAX ON BEER.

The proposal to increase the tax on
beer is popular with people OF prohibi-
tion view to whom it appeals as SEEM
ing contribution in the direction OF
harnessiug the liquor traffic. But spart
from such a claim to popularity it Is in
no wise different, in the principle in
volved, from a tax OH tea or coffee or on
other necessaries OF life that are either
produced In this country or that no
amount OF encouragement bv tariff could
make possible OF production.
The principle involved Is that of a"tarin
for revenue ohly, as contrasted with a
protective tarir. or course a tax on beer
is a tax for government reSonle solely.
Tne present beer tax has existed for some
thirty-two years and tue only object Of
increasing it il to develop the govern
ment revenues to toe expense point and
ty thus relieving the government to
blind the eyes OF the peoplo 10
the demands OF protection for
American industries and American
wages. To avoid duti s on manufactured
products and on wool the CLEVELAND
sd administration would make up the gov
ernment deficit by beer tax. But such
a tax would not help the country from
its industrial depression, however salts
factorily II would swell tho government
revenues to al expense paying basis. IL
IL free trade delusion, is the proposed
beer tsx. The least OF the troubles made
by the wilson-G German tariff was the
federal oeficiency. To make that good ia
not the chief object Of scneme of taxa

THE FACTS OF TIN PLA rE.

FAINT ind dusti les" In the case OF tin plate,
as advocated by the Repu olican party for
the building up of American msnufac-

competition, opposition to which idea
in the case OF tin plate more, perhaps
than all other free trade, tariff reform,
mugwump and Democratic opposition In
1892, resulted in the overwhelming de-
feat OF the Republican party.
In the United Kingdom the trade in
tin plate has naturally fallen OF. There
has been a cutting OF wages and a short

OF these tin plate workers
are now with u.s. At any rate our tin
plate mills are employing large number
OF men, the wages earned are going the
rounds. and workers In other lines are
paying less for tho home product than
they did for the imported product. The
tin plate workers abroad told US that 1t
would take many years before We could
make tin plate OF a satisfactory kino In
the United States, and the Democratic
press and stump speakers preached this to
our American workmer. But no diffl-
