Defiance of Law.

fensiVe Democratic campaign.
No better basis for this can he Iounq
than i'm the speech of Senator frdncls NJ
CockereI of Missouri. on Free Coinage
in the l.. 5. Senate, March j., 1870, espe-
cially the first part of same
1t is too late now TO debate either LOT
or against free silver coinage. Ihe point
to make in the few days that remain IS
that the order of Secretary Foster, Octo-
Der IA. 1891. i'm defiance of law placed TINS
country on an exclusively gold basis.
This order is continued under Secretary
Carlisle. il is this more than tarlH OF
lack OF tariff that creates business de-
preston, pOstponing new enterprises anu
keeping two men hunting TOR every Jop'

also that unless these are prosperous
.ae farmers and the great producers
il is impossible for the railroads to be
prosperous.
The gold standard, which has impoy-
crushed the farmers-the great produc-
ing class of the country-and, also, the
industry of ,he country. and thus par
tally paralyzed the shipping Of products,
these keenly intelligent railroad men
know is no, 10 their advantage. Hence
they now oppose the Chicago platform,
not upon the ground tina, it declares
for the money Of the Constitution
free silver-but because it declares
AGAINST GOVERNMENT BY IN
JUNCTION" That is Inc true secret Of
f.. The railroad managers are not
afraid that free silver will reduce the
nav of the employees Of the rOad-if it
would do tha, they might be more in
favor Of the Chicago platform. No. in
deed: .hey oppose the Chicago plat
form for an entirely different reason.
They wish to enlist the United States
army on their side in case Of trouble
with their employes-that is. in case Of
a strike. not being content with The
protection afforded by the police and
militia forces OF the States. In
palmer language they wish to put
i'm power a party that will enable
tbom to- call on the United States gov
eminent at any time 10 suppress rail-
road strikes. Ii is not free coinage
they fear. On, no! They know
taa. will be to their advantage
IS they are the arteries Of trade
and the carriers of commerce. 1t is
their employees they are after. They
wish to fix ,hings so at Washington that
whenever they have a strike on hand
they may call on Washingjon-the Uni
ted States army-to suppress it, under
the plea that the United States mails
are being interfered with.
That is the point. They do not object
to free silver. They would rather have
/. come. and the sooner the better for
them. for in the prosperity of the farm
ing and manufacturing industries of the
country lies The prosperity Of the rail-
roads.
In his speech at Springfield, ILL.,, Sat
urday, Nj. Bryan, who has never yet
refraiued from speaking mis- mind on
any and all subjects, said on this point:
81 want YOU to remember that a large
par. Of the opposition came from
other planks besides the silver plank.
Our arbitration plank has aroused more
opposition among the corporations than
our silver plank has and yet so just is
the principle Of arbitration that no one
in this campaign has dared to attack it.
No, only the arbitration plank, but our
plank against government by injunction
has done more to arouse the opposition
of the corporations than has our silver
plank. But, my friends. instead of
openly denounclng the Senate bill which
we endorse. instead of openly denounc-
ing our opposition to give a trial by jury
in certain contempt cases, they go out
and cali us anarchists, without daring
TO meet the propositions We advance
Thus does the brilliant and fearless
champion of the people in this cam
Da.gn present this important point, as
ae does an others, in nutshell so that
anyone may comprehend.

An IMMENSE REGISTRY.

Cincinnati. O.. October 25.-When the
registration of voters closed in Ken
lucky recently, il was found that the
increase was much larger than had ever
been known before. The same is true
with the registration which closed in
Ohio cities last night The increase far
exceIls all increase in population, and
the percentage is 50 much higher than
in any other year since registration was
provided for that it is the general opin-
ion that the vote in these TWO States
will be phenomena,ly large. This be-
lief Is based on the fact that many, who
have not voted in former years, nave
registered this year.

McKINLEY's SACK OF SUGAR.

Mr.. Mckinley has received from some
of his Nebraska admirers lOO-pound
sack of refined beet sugar. on the sack
was inscribed THE Mckinley protective
tariff fostered this industry As mat,
ter of fact the Mckinley tariff repealed
the duty on sugar from which the govern
ment derived an annual revenue of over
$4,000 600 and which was highly protective
of the sugar interests. and substituted
therefor a direct bounty. This was a
change of doubtful consttutiOnaltty, IN
Producing a form of direct taVorltism

New York World.
Mr.. Mckinley says that free trade is
the parent of trusts, and that therefore
the protective system is opposed to
them" II this be So the wonder grows
i'm favor of strangling the evil brood OF
so dangerous a parent. As the champion
of protection he is the inveterate foe OF
free trade" He is denouncing IL every
day. Is il not passing strange that he
does not denounce the children as well az
the parent? They exist on all sides OF
him.

FORAKER HAS LITTLE TO HOPE FOR
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Senator Foraker certainly cannot be do

The election of Mckinley would probably
mean the snubbng of every member OF
the Foraker crowd in the matter OF pat
ronage. only those who take high
moral view Of politics can fairly censure
Foraker for the poor speeches he is max
ing. They believe that he should have

General Frank O. Armstrong, ex.

the prospects for an early and satisfac-

Indians for a reorganization Of their
government through division Of their
lands in severalty and other measures
was never more favorable than now.

definite steps will be- taken.

Voting in the wagon contest this
week was little heavier than any
previous week. A number Of 4 -

they may not appear until the
last week. The one who secures
most subscribers and collects the
most money on old subscriptions
will be the winner. Coupons will
help you along, but hustling new
and old subscribers is what counts.
Watch your chances and don't
let an opportunity pass. Get sub
