There is q pretty little scheme in con
nscdon with the BolJocratic ticket
Palmer and Buckner-that will be rev.
elauon to those Democrats who have al
lowed themselves to be deceived into &C
cording support to the decOy scheme.
i appears that the decoy ticket IS 10 be
wi hdrawn just before election and it
is thought that this will demoralize the
Democrats. It seems that the scheme
was pre-arranged between the Boltocrat-
ic bosses and Mark Hanna long before
The Mckinley Aid Society held its con-
venLon at indianapolis. The scheme
was given away up in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Il came out in talk be-
tween Two prominent men who are idsn-
,ified with the movement. One o. them,
however. did not know as mucn about
the inside workings OF the scheme as the
other and exposed his ignorance by
stating his belief that The third ticket
would benefit Bryan, for while II would
not poll many votes it nigh, Gu, just
enough of a figure in close States Ike

vote. Whereupon the other assured him
positively that there wou'1. be no gold

nobody knows this better than the Presi-

no COERCION.

New York and Chicago wholesale mer-
chants early in the campaign began a
systematic endeavor to cosrce retail deal
ers to vote for Mckinley and to compel
all travelling men to act as coercion cam
paign agents.
1t is to be hoped that the wholesale
merchants of this section of the country
will carefully refrain from interference
with the politics of their customers.
This is a wise course, not only because
the retail merchants of this Stats, OF The
West, Southwest and South are in favor
of free silver, but because it is right.
The retail dealers of the country are,
as a rule, high-minded men, who cherish
independence and admire fair dealing.
Whether goldites or silverites they will
resent any effort to interfere with their
political opinions and to cOerce them by
threats into voting fer amy party.
The merchants should let it be known
that they stand for fair dealing. They
should assure smaller dealers that men
of ell political opinions will receive the
same just and courteous treatment.
Let the motto of the business men be,
Fairness to all; no coercion" That is
the righteous as well as the sound bus
mess rule.

THE HARRISON FAILURE.

If the esteemed Intelligsnces report
OF the meeting of Mr.. Harrison down az
Charleston the other day is no more
truthful than its reports in general in
regard to the political situation, the Re-
publican campain in West Virginia isl
in a particularly bad way.
The Harrison meeting at Charleston
was to be the biggest affair of the cam
paign and all SORTS Of preparations were
made to make il such. The Republican
National Committee sent $1,000 of Han
mas sush fund committees money to-
Charleston TO be spent in getting to-
gether big crowd. Free transporta-
ton by railroad or steamboat was offered
all who would attend. But, notwith-
standing these mighty efforts to whOor
things up, the meeting was the worst
failure ever witnessed in the State, with
the possible exception Of some of those
held by the editor of our esteemed con-
temporary, who would like TO play Uni
ted States Senator. Impartial gentls-
men who were present at the Harrison
me ting in Charleston place The extreme

HANNA ANnMAGES

Workingmen who have sense enough
TO come in ont of the wet are not fooled
by Hanna's talk about less wages as a
result, of ne impending Democratic vic
tory. The trusts and combines that
Hanna is working for have never been,
suspected OF going into politics for the
purposs Of raising the wages they have
TO pay.
The simple fact that Hanna is for the
single gold standard ought to be good
and sumcient evidence that that fnacial
policy means lower wages for all work.
men III Hanna's industries.
Thatis exactly what it does mean. We
had he unmi,igated single gold stand

when the country was filled with tramps
who could get no wages at ALL Then

though large, coinage Of legal tender sill

standard mitigatsd by the determination
of a large part Of the country not to sub
NIT to it a day longer than might be
absolutely necessary.
If Mckinley wins this fight we go nat
upon the single gold standard unmiu-
qated even by any reasonable hope of
rslief from any souce. That will mean
a final settling down to gold prices III
every branch of industry and trade. It
will mean wages to labor in this coun-
try corresponding closely to the wages
given 10 the "pauper labor" of gold
standard Britain.
But one Of the very first effects of the
final triumph of the single gold standard
in this years election would be sharp
cut in the wages of all labor and the
early beginning Of a readjustment OF
prices in other industries besides agri7
culture.
The single standard gold dollar is
dear dollar the world over. The man
who has it is going to get something
when he parts with it.
If Mckinley is elected, thousands Of
men who vote for him will in less than
three months have the strongest kind OF
reasons in their pOckets-or, rather, not
in their pockets-for begging somebody
to kick them.
But Mckinley is not going to be
elected.

ADMINISTRATION FROM ILLINOIS.


A timely argument in favor Of the
Democratic campaign in Illinois is sup
piled by the repor: of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts showing the condition
Of the State banks outside of Chicago.
According to this report the State
banks had resources of all kinds amount
ing to S127. 291. 1862. OF these the cap
atal stock amounted TO about S19,OOO,0OO,
and the United States and other bonds
and stocks amounted to about s11,OOO,-
OOO.
Yet in the report Of the local tax as
SCISSORS, in the entire State Of Illinois,
including Cook county, thsre were re-
turned as capital stock of all State and
national banks only So, 74S, 4OS; Of stocks
and bonds only s5,SSS,1z9; of moneys be-
longing TO bankers and brokers only
s3.O34. 80. and only 81, SS9,19O as the total
credits of bankers and brokers.
The figures reported by the Auditor are
submitted and sworn 10 by the bank Of
ficials. They may be presumed to be
absolutely correct, and, taken in compar-
ison with the tax assessors returns, they
offer the most remarkable exhibit of tax
lodging on record.
The bankers through the Auditor nave
campaign document They have proved
that the tax reforms which they have
endeavorsd to secure. but which were
defeated by Republican obstruction, are
necessity to prevent the shifting OF
the burden of taxation from the shout
ders of the rich and powerful to the
shoulders of the workers and the people
of moderate means.
