A MischievOus Candidate.

As time passes and William Jennings
Bryan continues making speeches, al
doubts as to the danger of placing such
man in the presidential chair are ef-
fectually removed. If there are any
| honest, well-meaning. sound money
Democrats who imagine that tine official
actions of Bryan in case of election
would be characterized by a spirit of
good sense and conservatism they
should ponder upon some of the gems
Of oratory" uttered by the iirebrand
during the past week. During speech
No. 95, at Springfield, Ohio, Bryan said:
The lire is drawn If there is a man in
-standard is a good thing, I expect him to
vote against the Chicago ticket, because
II | am elected the gold standard will
not remain the standard of this country
one moment longer than can help to get
rid Of 1t.
Can anyone doubt the meaning con-
veyed in the above? Does any sensible
voter believe that William J. Bryan, IL
elected president of the United States,
would hesitate to wreck the financial
and business interests of the country in
the interest of his pet hobby? In speech
No. &c. Bryan continues:
Now. my friends. I stand upon the Chi
cago platform. | do not think there is any
one in this campaign who will doubt that
l, If elected, will carry out that platform.
1t seems that it ought not to be neces-
sary for Bryan to utter another wcrd in
order to arouse all honest. 'aw-abding
citizens, regardless of politics or creed.
against his candidacy. The man who
boldly declares that he is for the plat
form that condemns the courts, voices
sentiments of anarchy. and advocates
systems of reform calculated to wreck
industry and breed discomfort. should
be given a rebuke at the polls that will
forever discourage men of his class who
have ambitions to occupy the office of
chief magistrate of the greatest nation
upon earth.

The Hotel Vampire.

An exchange says that the-s was
gnashing Of teeth at the Waldorf
when Ii Hung Chang and his suite de-
parted for good. The bellboys and
walters and. chambermaids had been
confidently looking forward to tips" of
| wondrous magnitude and were angry
l'because the viceroy and his followers
did not stand and deliver to the army
of hotel highwaymen and women. 1t
Is true that Ii left 5000 to be divided
among thirty or forty of the servants,
but the aristocratic noses of. the Wal
dorf roustabouts were elevated in dis
dain at the paltry gift. 1t Is barely
possible that the great Ii, like many
American guests. thought that per-
son who pays from seven to ten dollars
day for hotel accommodations ought
to receive some attention from the
hired employees OF the establishment
without being obliged to come down
with an additional fee for every service
rendered.
1t Is a standing disgrace to the hotel
business. especially in New York, that
the guest who pays rates Is obliged to
submit to the blood-letting process
from an army of vampires in order to
receive the attention and service that
he is supposed to pay for at the clerks
desk. No matter whether the stranger
stops at dollar -a-day European plan
house or at one of the palaces of Muir
ry Hill, the Tip" fiend is always pres
ent and woe bet'de the guest who re-
fuses to respond. There IL no question
that hotel proprietors themselves are
largely responsible, for this, no mattcr
how much they insist that it is the
fault Of .sool na'uied guests who Tip"
servan.s of their own free will. The
proprietor Of I'll known restaurant
in Scranton many years ago gave or
ders to the attendants in his dining
room that no tips" should be received.
He paid his employs wages in accord
ance with service rendered and OBJ
jected to the tipping" nuisance. AS
result one may receive the best Of at
tention In this dining place and not
feel that Tip" is expected.
In a majority of cases In the metro
polltan hctels, 1t is said, the proprietors
pay niggardly wages, expecting the en-
ployes to beat the balance required for
existence out Of the guests. This sys-
TEN which gradually transforms the
hotel employe into a beat and habitual
beggar should be frowned upon by the
travelling public in a way that would
force hotel men to pay wages sufficient
to keep their help alive without assess
ing the guests.

His wages are the last to increase by rea.

know that his wages have never suffered
ny reason of the present gold standard Of
money In this country. The free silverite
says that the price of everything, includ-
ing labor, has been deprecated because
these statements are unqualinedly false.
Gold has not appreciated neither have
wages dept eciated. According to the fig
ures OF the finance committee Of the
United states senate, made after careful
investigation of wages and prices, the
man who In 1860 earned 100 cents in gold
day could, In 1866, when gold payments
were suspended, get only 6S.7 cents for the
same labor, while In 1879. after the re-
nj nv fNf l. l.
1874 cents, and in 1891 he could get 1856
for the same labor. In the thirty-one
years, from 1860 to 1891. wages measured
in gold Increased over 6S per cent, while
the cost OF gold measured by labor de-
creased over 40 per cent, and the purchas-
ing power OF wages increased over 75 per
cent. The man who in 1860 earned 80 in
gold, could In 1891, by the same labor, earn
SS.37 in gold, and. with that S3.37, buy what
In 1860 had cost him about 81. What be-
comes. in the light of these facts, of the
silver mans assertion that gold has ap-
prcciated or that wages have decreased?
Inc workingman must toll for his living
whether he is paid in 1oo-cent dollars or
oS-cent dollars. He cannot, and does not,
expect that even If the country was flooded
with 5S-cent dollars that he could get any

THE WORKlNGMAN'S CASE.
From the Easton Free Press.

In the midst of all the clamor for cheap
money and high prices the workingman is
asking, as Bourke Cochran in his magnifi-
cent speech puts 1t, ''where do come in ?"
The workingman has no silver mines,
neither Is he sufficient of capitalist 20
buy and have silver bullion coined into So
cent dollars. His only capital is his
brawny arms, his deft fingers or his active
brain. With these he works and tolls In
the field OF production, and having earned
his wages, is entitled to be paid in the best
money Of the world. He is entitled to be
paid with dollar which has purchasing
power Of 100 cents. This is the kind of
dollars which the workingman has re-
ceived In the past. Is getting now, and, II
he has anything to say in the present con-
test, he will get In the future, because tho
workingman is too intelligent to vote for
any party which advocates the substitu-
ton of a 53-cent dollar for a lO0-cent dol

Business Prospects.

The condition of trade at present is
most encouraging. Business was not
particularly lively during the past
week but general conditions have
greatly improved and the situation
justities the expectation of an expand
ing trade movement In the near future
Mercantile operations have been en-
barassed by the continued financial dis
trust and the stringency Of the loan
markets, but the continued inflow of
gold from Europe and the growth Of
confidence in the ultimate triumph of
the cause of sound money may be ex-
pected to afford early relief from the
congestion Of credits.
That business sentiment has been
changed for the better by the recent
Republican victory in Vermont none
can question, and the prospects that an
avalanche will sweep over the country
In favor of sound money and protection
to American Industries in November
has caused the feeling of anxiety over
the business situation to pass away.
In spite of the tendency to extreme con-
servatism in the making Of new obliga-
tions and the extension of credits, busi-
ness has already shown moderate i'm
provement in some directions; and now
that the summer Is over and the wants
Of the fall trade season are likely to be-
come urgent, a gradual expansion of
commercial and industrial activity may
be anticipated.
With these favorable conditions on
the eve Of election the good results of
placing Republican president in the
chair maybe imagined. and merchants
generally may prepare for an excellent
fall trade.

From the London Institute Journal.
There is even now a great deal Of anx-

American president 1t Is well known that
Mr.. Clevelands views are exceedingly
peculiar. and 1t is more than probable, as
we stated last month, that should he be
successful in again obtaining the presi-
dental chair. such a change may take
place In the finances of that most impor-
tant country that we ourselves might suf-
fer very considerably.
