BRYAN'S TARIFF STIGMA.

Candidate Bryan, in his speech of ac-
ceptance. did not once refer directly to
ghe tariff. He and his supporters would
undoubtedly explain his silence by say
ing either that 1.-The tarir is settled or
that 1t is not the dominant issue. Two
years ago an overwhelming majority OF
the voters declared their condemnation
OF the German bill, and ye. it is still
the law. The tariff will never be set
tied until the will of the voters, thus
expressed, is carried into effect. More
over, If Mr.. Bryan takes the stand that
the tariff is settled" 1t would have
been an easy matter for him to have
said so and thus have made HIS posi-,
ton in regard to that subject clear.
The claim that Mr.. Bryan's silence was
due to his belief that the financial uues-
ton Ov~ershadows all other issues will
no: stand fire either. Mr.. Bryan touch
ed on Other issues besides the financial
question. He gave some attention to
the income tax plank in his platform,
an issue conspicuously less important
than the tariff. and one much more eff
f~ectually settled if the decision OF
the supreme court counts for anything.
He found time to defend the attack on
the supreme court. There can be but
one explanation of his silence on the
tariff. He lodges the question, and he
meant to dodge it. 1t is of supreme
importance to Mr.. Bryan ito turn the at
tention of the voters from the tariff.
Our experience under tariff reform"
has effectually condemned Mr.. Bryan's
attitude on that question and the ac-
ton he took in making the German
bill a law. He would gladly have the
voters forget that part of his history.
1t is for protectionists to remind the
people of Mr.. Bryan's past record and
OF his unflinching devotion to absolute
free trade.-Economist.

BRYAN AND

Bryan is. in fact. likely to meet much
the same fate as overlook Horace Gree
ley in 1872. His candidacy bears some
striking resemblances to Greeley's as
his campaign advances. There is the
same w%rangling between two separate
campaign committees. Greeley had his
liberal republicans. who were at war
with the democrats. each being suspi-
cious of the other. and each a~nxiously
in search of the campaign funds which
new came. Bryan has his populist
and his democratic committees who are
agitated by like distrust and anxiety,
and each day brings the two into ire
concilable positions. Then he has what
Greeley did mot have, two candidates
for vice president ON his ticket with
him. both of whom insist upon rum
ming, and one of whom persists in as
sailing not only his rival at the tail OF
the ticket, but also the head of the
ticket. Greeley was able to accept
bosh nominations which were made for
himself, the liberal republican, and the
democratic, but Bryan has as yet been
able to accept only one of the two Of
fered him, and 1t is clear that the long
err he waits about the second the more
difficult will acceptance be. All these
conflicting and confusing influences are
combining daily to create a popular
distrust Of his candidacy, and to make
1t certain that when election day ar
rives he will receive. as Greeley did,
a vote OF lack of confidence from the
country. The trouble with him is that
he is an absurdly inadequate candi-
date. the weakest that any great party
has ever put in the field for the presi-
dency. and the people of the country
have begun to realize that fact. 1t will
be apparent long before election day
that he had a phenomenal stroke OF
luck in getting a nomination for this
great office-a stroke of luck so out of
proportion to his deserts that his ambi-
ton ought to be satisfied by that alone.

health and vigor will be restored to the

again restored, which it will be, as soon
as the banks pay specie or the real rep
resentative of specie, millions of specie
boarded up will be put into circulation,
which will at once give life, and vigor
TO the commerce Of the country, and
give a fair and steady price to the pro-
duct Of the agriculturist.
The people are now resolved to put
this paper system down that has de
stroyed the morals as well as the pros
perity Of our country and to have an
undertaking metallic currency, or Its
equivalent, which will restore prosper

The republicans polled so per cent of
the vote cast in Vermont yesterday and
still the democrats are saying that is
nothing, but 1t is noticeable that Mr..
Bryan did not wish to be interviewed.
The result in Vermont can be taken as
a sure Indication of the trend of the
sentiment OF the voters of the nation.
Even the most sanguine hopes of the
republican party managers have been
more than realized. The same in
fuences which have been working In
Vermont are working everywhere, and
1t has now been proved thai the peo-
pie OF the United States are not re-

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
The republicans of the State of Wyo-
ming in convention assembled most
heartily approve and endorse the nomi-
nation Of William Mckinley for presi-
dent and Carrot A. Hobart for vice
president.
We reaffirm our allegiance to repub-
lican principles and policies and de-
clare. with hat able and conspicuous
exponent Of republican principles
William McKinley-that the only safe
policy of the American people is a
speedy return to hat system which
will provide a sufficient revenue for the
expense of the government; cherish,
protect and build up its Industrial in
~terests. and afford employment with
liberal compensation for every man
and woman DESTROYS of obtaining it.
We call attention to the fact that
this country has been prosperous n
der a protective tariff, but never with
out it. The distressing panic and pow
erty which the people of this country
are passing through. caused by the re-
peal of the Mckinley law and the pas
sage of the Wilson-Gorman act. en-
phasizes the fact that protection is the
paramount issue of this campaign.
We favor laws in aid Of state immi-
grafton. We need settlers to open our
mines, to make homes on the millions
of acres of irrigable and fertile public
land, to develop and utilize all our i'm
mense and unused resources.
If the rich rivers which now run to
waste were diverted and used, if the
valleys which border them were re-
claimed and occupied, 1t would add
hundreds OF thousands to our popula-
ton and hundreds of millions to our
taxable wealth. 1t would stop the
drain of money sent each year to sur
rounding states to purchase farm pro-
ducts, revive trade in our cities and
towns, tighten the burden of taxes and
AFFORD employment to labor. To secure
these results and to aid those who re-
claim and make productive these un-
occupied wastes, we favor legislation
by the general government in aid of
