In his speech at Brooklyn Mr.. Bryan
tried to smooth away the intimation
of the Chicago platform that the Su-
preme Court will be made over to suit
Popocratic ideas. The platform, in
referring to the income tax decision,
spoke of Its reversal by the court as
it may hereafter be constituted"
What that was intended to mean,
and what it is understood to mean by
the POpulists, is that if the Chicago
nominees are elected the Supreme
Court will be constituted so as to
bring it into accord with the policy
and purposes of the administration.
Speaking to an eastern audience, Mr..
Bryan puts a new Interpretation ON
the language OF the platform. He
said: 1.-The court changes from time
to time; judges die or resign, and new
judges take their places" And then
he proceeds to suggest the possibility
that the court at some indefinite time
in the future may take Il different
view of the question from what it
does now.
But such changes as MI Bryan
mentions take place in the court as at
present constituted. When the plat
form refers to the court as it may
hereafter be constituted, the infer
ence is plain that a new power is to
intervene i'll the process of change
nothing less than a partisan intention
to control the decisions of the court.
And when Mr.. Bryan pretends that
the Chicago deliverance means moth
ing at all, and that matters are to go
along just as they have done, he is
trying to deceive the people.
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
has the merit of disdaining false pre-
lenses. He tells his audiences that
he is "a plain, blunt man, who calls
a spade a spade, and thief thief.
In his speech at Philadelphia recently
he, too, told the people what was
meant by the platform reference to
the Supreme Court, and this is what
he said:
IF Mckinley is defeated, the Demo
cratic party will take the rascally
judges by the threats and teach them
that there is yet liberty in this land. -

WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept. 24.-Can-
didate Bryan's attack upon clergy
men as a class, during his speech at
the Auditorium on Monday, has cost
him large number of votes. Mr.
Bryan said in effect that more bitter
ness had been shown by ministers of
the gospel, as a class against the ad-
vocates of free silver than had been
shown by the politicians on the plat
form, and that it was not that they
had so much attacked free silver as
that they had shown there general
disregard for the interests of the peo-
pie. He said the ministers were in
league with the monOpolists, that
they lived in ease, Opulence and
luxury; that they were unacquainted
with and had no regard for the cOndi-
ton and welfare of their fiocks, that
such position was not one which
ministers of the gospel ought to
occupy.
That they should be ready and anx-
ious to give their fellow-men a help
ing hand; ministers should be made
to feel that it was part of their duty
to share the burdens of the needy ones
of the congregation; that they had
however, no regard for the condition
of there people, thinking solely of
their own comfort and condition;
that they were in their work for what
they got out of it, and that the min
listers made up a selfish class He also
said more along that line. Many per-
sons in the audience were indignant
at such an attack upon the ministers
and so expressed themselves.
Rev. Francis Butgette Short is es-
pecially indignant. In an interview
he is quoted as saying of Mr.. Bryan:
He is not worthy to be elected to
the high office of President of the
United States. His delivery showed
plainly his spleen. The way a man
says some things will have a deeper
impression than when the words are
read in type

The Booming ofRryan.

Now is Bryan moving westward
On a hurricane oflanguage,
Sweeping all the earth with speeches,
Driving dry the Mississippi,
With his whizzing talk tornado;
Filling all the air with mouthness,
Filling all the earth with chinness,
Filling all the sea with jawness,
Filling all the sky with wordness,
Loading every vale with language.
Piling high the hills with utterance,
Giving off his oratory
As an onion drops its peeling.
Caulking all the cracks of silence
With his eloquential stuffing.
Hurting great spellbinding cart loads
OF his many worded thinklets
At an unoffending people;
Scraping down the stars of heaven
To be used as punctuation
Marks in his magniloquences
Never stopping for moment
Goes he westward in October
On a hurricane of language,
On a roaring tide of language,
On a tidal wave of language,
On an autumn flood of language,
In a wild stampede of Language,
In a wreckless mob of langGage,
Down a cataract of language;
Slashing, smatching, smoothing,
sounding,
Slapping, slamming, stopping, swip-
ing,
Whooping, whopping, whanging,
whizzing,
Language, language, language, Ian
guage!

Dynamite Explosion.

There was a dynamite explosion at
Dill, a station on the line of the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail
road a day or two ago, and Austin
Schwartz, Stanley Bender and John
Rice were perhaps fatally injured.
These men were employed on saw
mill and in order to extend tram
road up the Potomac river much
blasting is necessary.
A large package of dynamite and
dynamite caps was placed on an en-
CINE and these men and several Others
started to take it to where they were
going to blast. While ON the way
the dynamite package was set on fire
by spark from the engine when
Schwartz seized the package and
threw it to the ground, when the eX-
plosion occurred. Flying missiles OF
some description struck the men men
toned, and they had to be taken TO
Piedmont for treatment

Occasionally some flippant fellow,
fresh from Bryan meeting, is heard
to jingle the loose change in his
pocket and to eXclaim: ''Silver is
good enough for me' Silver is doubt
less good enough for such a person;
but it is sixteen to one that there was
not silver dollar among the coin he
was jingling. Perhaps he did not
consider, because of the great pain of
thinking a little, that the silver dollar
rests practically on the same basis
with the half-dollars, quarters and
other subsidiary coinage. This sub
sidiary coinage, in which the metal is
worth still less than in the silver dol
lar, is as good as gold because of the
general confidence that the Govern
ment will redeem it in gold. The
fractional silver money has been pur-
posely deprecated so as to prevent
it's expectation, and a consequent
scarcity of convenient currency for
the smaller transactions of business.
But the government makes it good.
Frivolous complaint is also made
that there is no gold in circulation
because of the great scarcity. But,
as Mr. Hobart, the Republican candi-
date for the Vice Presidency, has so
aptly expressed it, the gold basis of
the monetary system of the country,
like the foundations of a temple, is
none the less secure and substantial
because it is invisible. Yet the
money which the workingman re
ceives at the end of the week is as
good as gold, because he can buy as
much for the paper notes or silver as
for the gold. Should he receive his
wages in gold at his desire, the money
paid to the grocer or other dealer
would find its way back to the bank.
If saved, it would still go back to the
bank as the securest place for keep
ing it.
But let free coinage of silver on in
dividual account be adopted, as is the
case with gold coinage, and it is not
hard to understand that the Govern
ment would have no gold to redeem
its paper currency or to exchange for
its silver dollars. No man would take
gold bullion to the mint to be coined
on the same conditions with twice as
cheap a metal, and no man would pay
gold to the Government or to a pri-
vate creditor when silver dollars would
serve the purpose. By a universal
law which never fails to enforce itself,
the less valuable money would drive
the good from circulation. The in
visible gold basis of the vast super
structure of the currency would dis
appear, and the silver basis would
take its place. Then the commodity
which can now be bought under the
gold standard for 53 cents would cost |
a dollar in silver. The wages and ser
vices now paid for at the rate of dol |
lar would be cut down to the rate of
SO cents, and working men would |
thus be taken both going and com
ing''-both in the decline in the pur-
power of their earnings and

The Wreckers.

The constant burden of Mr.. Bryan's
harangues is that the hard times is
the result of the gold standard, and
that we need a change. We have the
gold standard now and we have hard
times, so that the maintenance of the
gold standard holds out no hope of re
lief to the people. In his speech at
Wilmington he said: ''They told us
if we would repeal the Sherman law
we would have better times. Have
we had them? No."
This line of argument calls up some
eXasperating reflections. 1t is fact
within the knowledge of every bust
ness man that the repeal Of the Sher-
man act did produce a remarkable re-
vival of confidence and resumption of
business activity. For some weeks
the newspapers contained accounts Of
the starting up of mills and advance
of wages. The free silver leaders were
alarmed by the prospect, for their
party aims are promoted by public
calamity. SO they went deliberately
to work to attack and undermine the
public credit. The weak point of the
situation was the fact that the govern
ment revenues were much Behind the
expenditures, and by so much as bust
ness could be disturbed the deficit
would be increased. The power of
the government to borrow money was
assailed, the validity of the bonds was
impugned, and an act taking away
from the government the power to is
sue bonds was brought forward and
was actually passed by the Senate.
When an act to increase the revenues
was passed by the House it was held
up by the Senate and finally defeated
The agitation in favor of providing by
law that all loans, public or private,
should be repayable in dollars of
value of about one-half of the value of
the dollar loaned, was renewed with
great clamor. These tactics succeeded.
Public confidence was again shaken.
was diminished and hard
times brought upon the people.
The free silver agitation, on the part
of its senatorial leaders, has been a
deliberate conspiracy against the pub
lie welfare. These men take great
care to protect themselves by stipula-
ting for gold payment of all dues to
themselves, SO that they will be quite

If free coinage will make money
plentiful and increase wages, why did
ii not do so when we had free coinage,
and why does it not do so in countries
which have free coinage? To such
questions no answer is vouchsafed by
free silver orators. They prefer
prophecy to proof. But the people
have to deal with facts and not with
theories. 1t is condition and not a
theory which cCnfronts them.
1t is fact which cannot be rubbed
out that money is more plentiful now
and wages are higher than ia 1873,
when, according to the free silver the
DRY. the country should have been
enjoying an Astounding prosperity.
In speech at Brooklyn last week
Mr.. Depew made the following com
pariSOn
In 1873 the locomotive passenger
engineer ON the New York Central
received $50 per month, and now his
average earnings is $3.50 per month
the freight engineers then received
$50 per month, and now he averages
800; then the tiremen received $40
per month, and now $75 in the pas
senger service and $50 in the freight
service; then the trainmen and brake
men received from $50 to $50 and now
they receive from $45 to $780, the
trackmen, who constitute the great
body of labor, received S7I a day in
1873, and now they get S135.

was not long till Kansas had all of its
own and nearly all of its neighbors'
corn.
When the other states saw this vast
accumulation and knew that it must
sooner or later come ION the market,
the price of corn began to decline till
it could be purchased anywhere eX-
cept in Kansas for ten cents bushel.
In Kansas the price was still forty
five cents which was the price of
wheat, but there were no buyers.
Neither would any one exchange
wheat for their corn. When the au-
tumn came the Kansas people did not
have any wheat for seed. Then they
sent to the neighboring states and i'm
plored the farmers to exchange wheat
at a parity with corn. But the farm
ers said; I'VE will exchange one
bushel of wheat for four and one-haIf
bushels of corn" "Our law" replied
the Kansas people. puts corn and
wheat at a parity. They are equal
for our wise men said they should
be" And the farmers replied, ''Your
wise men are asses: let them eat your
corn SO the Kansans went back
home and all their people were in
despair.
The more corn they had the less it
was worth, and they had nothing but
corn. Day by day the times grew
harder.
