MARK HANNA
Is NOT HAPPY
Not Sure That an Elec-
tion Can Be Bought.
Fears That His Labor Is All
In Vain.

1t is said that Hanna and the men
who took up the mortgages Of Hon.
William Mckinley are having a very
bad quarter of an hour at this time
They went into the campaign feeling
sure that large majority of the Amer
lean voters could be bought, but they
have now about come to the conclusion
that, while every voter may have his
price, it is very costly business to try
and buy them all in a lump.
1t is freely remarked that Hanna is
not at all certain of the result. He has
collected millions and paid out millions.
He has fried the fat out of every repre-
sentative of the money power that has
dared to declare for gold. He has paid
the way Of thousands to Canton in order
to enable the multitude, as it were, to
hear Mr.. Mckinley make speeches which
have been plentifully supplied with
platitudes and carefully revised in Wall
street. Hanna has done all Of these
things, and yet he is not happy He is
afraid that some collard patch remains
unworked; that some disreputabIe voter
whose patriotism goes no higher and no
deeper than his pocket remains un-
bought.
1t would be great pity should this
happen to be the case, for there is not a
voter in all this land that needs to re-
main unbought. Hanna has the money
to buy them, and he ought to have a
very large amount ON hand He has
compelled the banks and other institu-
tions Of the east to disgorge millions
What has he done with this immense
fund.- Purchasable voters should besiege
him from now until election day in or
der to find out what he has done with
the vast sums of money intrusted to his
care, and what he proposes to do with
that which he still has in hand At
lanta Constitution.

Let the Voters Decide.

At least $50, 900, 900 additional cir
culation is required each year in the
United States to keep up with the
growth Of population and business.
What shall this money consist Of. and
where shall it come from?
We may borrow it from English cap
italists through their agents on Wall
street, and thus increase a national debt
that, payable in the worlds commodi-
ties, is larger than it was in 1866, or
we may aut4orize the national banks to
increase their note issues, and thus put
in few hands the entire control and
profits Of the money supply Of the coun-
try. The other plan, and the one which
the Democratic platform stands for, is
to adopt the free coinage Of both silver
and gold, and thereby increase the pro
duction of American mines to meet the
demand for additional money.
We already know how Wall street,
the money barons and the trusts stand,
but where will the producing classes
stand ON the Sd day Of next November?

IngersoII,s ForgetfuIness.

In the next speech Colonel Robert G.
Ingersoll makes for the plutocrats will
he explain the following or state why
he has changed his mind?
For my part, do not ask any inter
ference ON the part of government ex-
cept to undo the wrong it has done. I
do not ask for the prosperity born Of pa
per But do ask for the remonetiza-
tion of silver Silver was demonetized

every honest man, fraud upon every
honest debtor in the United States. 1t

interest of avarice and greed and should
be undone by honest men. " = From

CHARLES SUMNER
AN ANARCHIST.
He Did Not Revere Judi
cial Tribunals.
Have Sanctioned the Worst
Grimes Of History.

From a speech in the United States senate on
the Dred Scott decisionl
Let me here say that I hold judges,
and especially the supreme court Of the
eJantry, in much respect. but am too
familiar with the history Of judicial
proceedings to regard them with any
superstitious reverence. Judges are but
men and in all ages have shown fair
share of frailty. Alas, alas, the worst
crimes Of history have been perpeIated
under their sanctionl The blood Of mar
tyrs and Of patriots crying from the
ground, summons them to judgment
1t was Judicial tribunal which con-
demned Socrates to drink the fatal hem
lock and which pushed the Saviour bare
foot over the pavements Of Jerusalem,
bending beneath his cross. 1t was a ju-
dicial tribunal which, against the tes-
timony and entreaties Of her father, sur
rendered the fair Virginia a. a slave,
which arrested the teachings Of the
great apostle to the gentiles and sent
him in bonds from Jud3a to Rome,
which, in the name Of the old religion,
adjured the saints and fathers OF the
Christian church To death III all its
most dreadful forms, and which after
ward. in the name Of the new religion,
enforced the tortures of the inquisition
amid the shrieks and agonies Of it, vic
Tins, while it compelled Galilei To de-
clare, in solemn denial to the great
truth he had disclosed, that the earth
did not move rouud the gnn.
1t was a judicial tribunal which in
France. during the long reign Of her
monarchs, lent itself to be the instru-
ment Of every tyranny, as during the
brief reign of terror it did not hesitate
to stand forth the Implying accessory
Of the Implying guillotine. Aye, sir, it
was judicial tribunal in England, sur
rounded by all forms of law, which
sanctioned every despotic caprice Of
Henry VIII. from the unjust divorce Of
his queen to the beheading Of Sir
Thomas More; which lighted the fires
of persecution that glowed at Oxford
and Smithfeld over the cinders Of Lati-
mer, Ridley and John Rogers; which,
after elaborate argument, upheld the
fatal tyranny Of ship money against the
patriotic resistance of Hampden; which,
~ defiance Of justice and humanity,
. mt Sydney and Russell to the block;
which persistently enforced the laws of
conformity that our Puritan fathers per
sistently refused to obey, and which aft
erward, with Jeffreys on the bench, crim-
soned the pages Of English history with
massacre and murder-even with the
blood Of innocent women
Aye, sir, and it was a judicial tri-
hunal in our country, surrounded by all
the forms Of law, which hung witches
at Salem, which affirmed the constitu-
tionality Of the stamp act, while it ad-
monished Jurors and the people" to
obey, and which now, in our day, has
lent it. sanction to the unutterable
atrocity Of the fugitive slave law.

1t Was True.

Late in the evening report spread
through the train that we had fellow
passenger, man worth $40, 600, 600,

replied:
''Dat's what dey say, sab, but yo'
can't allus tell. He's in de next car,
but / can't dun say il he's rich till

Next morning the porter beckoned
me into the smoking compartment and
said:
"Dat story was all true, sab. !"
''Then he's worth $40, 900, 900, eh?'
"All of dat. sab, an mebbe mo-"

James q. Blaine IN Silver.

Speaking in the house Of representa-
tiyes ON Feb. z, 1878, Mr. Blaine said:
Il believe the struggle now going on in
this country and other countries for d
single gold standard would. If success
ful, produce widespread disaster in and
throughout the commercial world. Tie
destruction of silver as money and the
establishing of gold az the sole unit of
value must have "a ruinous effect on all
forms Of property, except those invested
which yield fixed return in money.
These would be enormously enhanced
in value and would gain a dispropor-
t1onate and unfair advantage over every
other species Of property.

PLUT0CRATIC
DESPERATION.
Menace to Self Govern
ment.
Some Astounding Goldbug
Threats.

Here is another covert threat
which reveals the malignant and
reasonable desperation Of the pluto
Gratis. In a recent speech at viii
mington, Del, ex-senator John B.
Henderson said:
"The Chicago platform Of the
Democratic party seeks to inter-
fere with private contracts and
to revive the old doctrine Of
state resistance to federal au-
thOrity.
''This platform seeks to reor-
ganize the supreme court and
make it subseryient to congress.
1t seeks by the coinage system
proposed to take the property OF
one class of people without due
process of law. ItpropOses such
things as drive a king into de-
served exile.
eff these men know what they
are doing, they certainly intend
to reOrganize the institutions of
this country. Should they be
elected and attempt to carry out
this plan, they will find no less
than 100000 or 100000
armed soldiers to resist it. We
wifi do as men did i'm 1861. We
asked simply then that the con-
stitutiOn which Washington and
others framed should be pre-
served, and we are going to de-
fend it now. If nothing else will
do them, we will defend it as we
did in 1S61565, and there are
men who will bring Mr.. Bryan
and his cohorts in as prisoners
of war as they did jefferson Da-
Wis then"
Disguise it as we may, this ven
omous declaration means that the
plutocrats will not submit to the
viii Of the people if there is a pos
sible chance to overturn it. The
New York city heeler, Lauterbach,
openly admittedit. Senator Palmer,
the goldbug candidate, limited the
same thing. And now this man
Henderson conceaIs the full signifi-
canoe of his reasonable feelings
with a cowardly ''if"
Expressions Of this kind, reveal
ing, as they do, a purpose On the
part Of the money power to defy the
peoples will as expressed at the
polls, should not be passed over
lightly by patriotic citizens. 1t
means that if brute force be neces-
sary to accomplish their ends they
will not hesitate to adopt it. 1t
means that the money power would
not only reduce the common people
to a state of destitutiOn, but that it
would strike them down if they at
tempt to secure relief 1t means
that plutocracy intends following
up the denial Of the rights of the
people by an attempt to wrest from
them their Liberties.
But it has another significance.
1t is a threat at self government. 1t
is treason, defiance Of law, anarchy.
Let the brutal, selfish plutOcracy
beware. The people will not be
trifed with.

At the end of Bryan's second day in
Indiana Mr.. Creelman telegraphed to
The World from Terre Haute as follows
News reached him (Bryan) on the
train today that Mr.. Hanna money is
already moving like tide through In
diana, and that the Republican leaders
are trying to get Democrats to move out
Of their districts SO that they may lose
their votes.
Mr.. Bryan's soul seems filed with the
passion of the conflict. He is revolution
incarnate. Today he spoke to more than
$50, 900 persons, and tonight Terre
Haute is mob glorious. Whatever may
be the result of this terrific campaign,
Mr.. Bryan has proved here, in the very
heart Of Indiana, that the free silver
idea has taken hold of the common peo-
pie.
All day he has declared that the war
of money standards which has rent the
Democratic party will not end on elec-
tion day. Again and again he said that
Democrats who desert now can never
come back except after long penitence
and modification. From sunset until
early morning bonfres danced on the
night landscape.
He attacked Benjamin Harrison in
his own state, accusing him Of trying to
advocate gold standard under the cover
of bimetallism. He lashed his audience
into madness by appealing to them not
to consent to foreign domination in
American finance.
Bryan's Marvellous Endurance.
The ferceness of the conflict in this
state was apparent everywhere as the
special train fed from district to dis
trict. Great meetings, professions and
barbecues were in progress, and hun
dred of orators were at work, and in the
midst Of all this thunderous confusion
Mr.. Bryan towers up born leader of
men. He may be defeated, but if he
lives he will play great part in the
immediate future. / have watched him
day after day, and he seems TO grow
stronger and more self reliant every
hour. Nothing depresses or daunts him.
His marvellous voice seems indestructi-
BILE, and his brain is tireless.
Mr.. Bryan seems to understand that
the result of this best trial of strength
in Indiana and Illinois depends upon
himself, and he has concentrated all his
powers in this one supreme effort to
overcome the almost irresistible forces
in the field against him.
This has been a day of color and
strife. From the train windows the
pictures Of Bryan and Mckinley could
be seen in alternate farmhouse windows
Great crowds of men and women swept
into the towns and cities where the
multitudes roared about Mr.. Bryan s
carriage, and the rough roads sprawling

The New York Sun. one of the
most malignant organs of the
money power, sneers at the
DemOcI attic national committee
because it il short Of funds. The
Sun cannot comprehend how a
political campaign can be car
ried on without "bOOdIe." 1t is
true that an army of speakers,
tons Of campaign literature,
scores of brass bands and bar
reIs of buttons come high, and
the Republicans have money
enough to buy them, but with
all their millions for campaign
purposes they have not enough
to buy the votes of the plain
people.

James Creelman, the chief travelling
correspondent of the New York World,
telegraphed to that newspaper on the
first day Of Bryan's final tour through
Indiana as follows:
Great multitudes roared about
him everywhere, but the Republic
an managers distributed yellow
badges and urged the Mckinley
men to mass themselves at all
points.
The result was bewildering. Mr..
Bryan's way lay through the strong
Republican district, and it was not
until he reached Fort Wayne to-
night, the Democratic stronghold Of
the state, that he swept all before
him.
1t is quite evident that Mr.. Han
mas plan is to have counter demon
strations wherever Mr.. Bryan ap-
pears until election day.
Never has Mr.. Bryan shown his
strong qualities to better advantage
than today. All through the saw
age tumult he has been serene and
undismayed. AT times he has been
for ten minutes continuously sur
rounded by yellow ribbons and
Republicans shrieking McKinley's
name in his face.
Whatever else Mr.. Bryan may be,
he is a man of steel nerves. The
mob seems to inspire him, and the
more brutally hostile a crowd is the
calmer and bolder he grows.
I have known him for years, but
he revealed himself in a new light
today. Mrs. Bryan, too, faced the
bowling Republicans smilingly at
her husbands side, finging a rose
here and there to a rapturous free
silver man.

WHAT DAN MANNING DID.
The Difference Between Cleveland
Eirst and Second ADMINISTRATIONS.

L
The difference Between C~leyeland's
First and Second Administrations.
a story was told in the United States
Senate q lew days ago which illustrates
the difference between the financial
policy of Mr.. Cleveland's first and
second administrations. This story
Is given by the New York World,
which endorses and commends it to
the present administration, and the
World is q gold-b bug paper:
Senator Perkins, of California, told
today for the first time the story of
what Daniel Manning did when he was
secretary OF the treasury, and D syndi-
cate tried to make the government
surrender gold for boarding and specu-
lation.
"They were raiding the treasury in
those days just as they have been raid
ing it under MIR. Cleveland's admins
tration. Secretary Manning saw and
understood the situation. He also saw
the remedy, although it is quite pos
sible that what he did was suggested
to him by Mr.. Tilden. He took his
gripsack and started for New York.
When he arrived he sent for the chief
raiders of the treasury. II / should
mention their names they would sound
quite familiar to those who have been
reading the story Of the great Morgan
syndicate.
",Gentlemen,' said the secretary, in
a cold, hard voice, the treasury is will
ing to furnish gold for any legitimate
demand, but If you attempt to draw
upon the treasury gold after today as
you are now doing, for boarding or
speculation, | shall adopt an effective
remedy for the protection of the gov
ernment's reserve. We have a cash
balance Of over $3.50, 900, 900. Not one
OF you doubts for q moment the pur-
pose and ability of the government to
maintain specie payments. But If you
contiL ue to withdraw gold [ shall at
once order that you be paid 10 per
cent. in silver coin the first day. The
second day you will be paid 20 per
cent. In silver, the third day 30, and SO
on until one-half will be paid you in
silver
But exclaimed the astounIed
bankers, : this Is in violation of the inn
piled obligation hat the government
will pay gold.'
MAKE no mistake about that, gem
tlemen,' replied Mr.. Manning fThe
law says 'coin,' and che treasury will
exercise its undoubted prerogative.'
THAT ended the gold raiding. The
government won its point just as soon
as the secretary Of the treasury showed
that he had q backbone.
Secretary Carlisle is in an impreg-
nable position at this moment. He has
the whole country ready to aid him If
he is in earnest. He knows and every
authority upon the subject in Washing
ton declares that the banks of the
country, not to say the bankers, would
not dare to let the gold reserve be ex-
hausted.
1t would instantly destroy hundreds
of millions by shrinkage in values.
MIR. Carlisle knows this. Yet in the
secret places of the treasury depart
ment are cunning men who arc doing
their utmost to defeat the administra-
ton. They arc doing the work of the
gold ring, and are doing it very clum.
