The Progressive Tailor's union, n So

nre 500 men and 1.6OO women and girls
In this union. The Children's Jacket

fact that twelve contractors had given

The Pants Makers union met to-day
at No. II Cannon street. where the
report was given out that 1900 men In
New York and brooklyn had struck
during the morning. This makes about
5000 out. The demands Of the union

Bryan and the Banksrs.

The last editorial written by Mr..
Bryan appeared on July 1. nine days be-
fore he was nominated. It was an
answer to the charge made by the
Atchison Globe that he had advised tho
people to always oppose the bankers.
The following extract contains the
germ Of Mr. Bryan's argument:
THE banker is a man. nothing more.
nothing less. and his opinions are en-
titled to all due consideration. But no
man should permit another man to do
his thinking for him. There are many
bankers who are sincere and consistent
bitmetallists. There are others who are
sincere gold bugs. There are some who
advocate the single gold standard whom
they do not believe Its preservation will
be beneficial to the country, but for
reasons best known to themselves they
adhere to the advocacy Of that standard,
The opinions OF all bankers are entitled
to unusual consideration because Of
their experience in financial matters,
but the banker must be able to back
up his opinion with logic. Because
the banker has had wide experience in
money matters Is no reason that an
other man should believe the bankers
mere statement that black Is white,
particularly when the other man knows
that black is not white"

Defender of tho Persscuted Saliva
tionists-To tho BANKERS.

Editors are not as a rule great ora
tors and vice versa. Candidate Bryan
combines the two forces as witnesseth
some of his famous editorials which
have appeared from time to time in the
Omaha World-Herald. Here are q few
of them.
Anarchy Has No Place in This Country"
The following editorial, which ap-
peared on Nov. IL, 1895, was written by
Mr.. Bryan:
"The Anarchists in Chicago did not
hold memorial services over the graves
of those Of their comrades who were
executed for participating in the Hay
market riots. For seven years 1t has
been their custom to hold exercises OF
this character in Waldheim Cemetery,
where the remains Of their misguided
friends are buried. but the directors OF
the cemetery this year refused to per-
NIT 1t. It seems harsh to prohibit a
tribute by the living to its beloved
dead, but in this case the action OF the
directors was justifiable. These annual
gatherings have not been those OF
genuine mourning, but the participants
have used the place ana occasion 70
teach their doctrines and to stir up an
animosity against the law and Its
officers.
Anarchy has no place In this coun-
try, either in the busy walks OF life
or in the quiet city of the dead.
Anarchy Is an enemy to peace.
to society and to happiness. II
is not to be tolerated in any
country. Much less has 1t any cause for
existence or toleration in this county,
and Its friends and devotees cannot
use the sacredness OF the grave rs a
means for spreading their unwholesome
doctrines and to stir up new strife
against the law that Gccords to even
the teachers Of arson and assassination
a fair and impartial trial before Jury
Of their peers.'

Defenso of the saivattan Army.
In July, 1895. the Salvation Army
seemed to interest Mr.. Bryan and he
wrote an editorial defending it. He
said:
"The Salvation Army is not nui-
sance. 1t is noisy but Satan Is rather
noisy fellow himself and no one can
object II these people choose to fight
the devil with fire. II 1t Is
a noisy crowd the noise will never in
duce any man or woman to do wrong.
and there are thousands Of instances
where this noise has induced many
persons to quit their meanness. Such
an organization is entitled not only to
respect but to the earnest cooperation
Of every good citizen" ."-.
When the newspapers of the country
announced that President Cleveland
and Senator Hill had reconciled their
differences. Mr.. Bryan wrote long
editorial, in which he used these
words: Whom gold hath Joined to-
gether let not man put asunder."

Free Silver. Popuiism and Democracy
Perhaps the most characteristic edi-
torial written by Mr.. Bryan was his re-
ply to the statement that free silverism
and populism had killed the democratic
party: 1t was printed Feb. 16, 1895.
1.-THE cry that the democratic party Is
dead Is the cry OF the enemy, OF the
coward and OF the traitor. The demo-
cratic party Is not dead. nor is 1t asleep.
When the democratic party dies demo-
cratic principles will die. and in tho
same grave will be buried the hope Of
humanity, the incentive to work for q
broader and better plan Of existence
and the power to go from strength to
strength In advancing and maintain
ing liberty and freedom. The princi-
pies Of Jefferson. Of jackson and Of
Lncoln-the same-all are the heart
and the noui Of every government by
and for the people that now Is or ever
will be. and. moreover, they are the life.
blood which courses through the ar
teries Of liberty and make the all
powerful agency in the mighty work
| Of lifting mankind Godward. Man
may be born and man may 70 hence.
and nations may be established and
nations may be overthrown, but the
principles Of democracy are Of God
and they must return to him bearing
in their arms a perfected humanity.
The onward way Of these principles
has always been and always will bo
more or less impeded by the Judases
Of the world. but the right always pre-
vails-the people triumph ultimately.
It is true that the democratic party
the custodian and proclaimer Of these
principles OF human progress-is for
the moment wrenched and torn BY
fierce onslaughts from daggers In the
hands Of members OF Its own household.
who. like Benedict Arnold. were caught
in the act Of selling their fellows for
British gold, but they have made their
own graves deep and wide in the mo-
rasses Of their own treachery, and there
Is no inclination anywhere to hinder
tho operations Of the law Of retribu-
tion."
