President of the American Bimetallic
Union, is to issue a call this week for a con-
ference at Washington OF the various free
silver leaders" Popocratic, Populist, Re-

mods Of the 10 to 1 cult will be summoned,

Kansas, the r~eticent Senator BUTLER Of
North Carolina, tho gentle ALTGRLD. and
the Boy Orator Of Salt Creek. 1.-THE idea,"
aays the Secretary of the American Bimetal-
Nc Union, "is to hold the silver forces to-
Gether and lose no ground during the next
four years, besides making new converts to
the cause" With this idea kept steadily

years will cover this procession of cranks

ARTHUR SEwALL said after the election,
"Should there be four years Of prosperity,

longs to the Universal Peace Union. has just
celebrated happily its thirteenth anniversary.
1t is sad to mark, however. that one of the great
militant powers Of Pennsylvania. the Hon.

been brought into the fold. He and the Hon.

moro wars in the last few years than
any other warriors in the State. The

and only sure manner. by basting his opponents

yet. Either Mr.. QUAY or the Pennsylvania
Peace Union should labor with him. One

who Gave the Battle Cry to Organism ?

The calm that separates election day from
the beginning of legislative activity in
Congress is q good time to study the recent
national issue, lately described again by the
leader of it, BRYAN, as q contest between the
masses and the classes, between the pro
ducers of wealth and the m~onopolists."
Leaving out the element of humanity's
perpetual discomfort. what did most to
precipitate upon this great democratic
republic the most vicious and frenZied
assault on property and order and on the
laws provided for their protection, ever
brought upon any civilized Government
Who gave the word for the startf And,
II any one can be said to have given it,
what was It'll
From all the answers to this question put
together we believe that the final ono
selected would have to be that the key
note of the recent passionate excitement
against the rich was the sententious
quotation of the Eighth Commandment,
Thou shalt not steal" by GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, when, at Providence in 1899, prior
to the Democratic tariff plank declar-
ing protection to be robbery, he reck-
lessly held up the protective tariff
rs n 0evlc6 ana instrument OF fraud.
This sanctimonious, socialistic. and ~insolent
attack upon the fundamental principle of an
American institution approved by every
venerated statesman in our earliest history,
preceded the CLEVELAND Characterization
of Trusts as the communism of pelf." 1t
was therefore the first tremendous slim
illus to the raging enmity to wealth and
prosperity and their social defences which
finally became organized behind BRYAN.
For a politician supposed to come from the
conservative side of society to carry on his
WAL on an established American policy by
~denouncing it Us theft, and the more con-
spicuous and wealthy Of its vast number of
beneficiaries as thieves, was calculated to
infiame popular passion as no other put
break could have done, and to convert the
opposition to the tariff into a general
hatred of the rich as oppressors and rob-
bers all. Mr.. CLEVELAND might have pro-
claimed with equal decency that taxa
tion was robbery, one of the first principles
OF anarchy. The patent for Organism should
be entered in the CLEVELAND name.
