Then and Now,

In 1892 Bryan said that prices were
too high and advocated tariff reform
to prevent consumers from being
robbed" Now he says that the gold
standard is responsible for low prices
In 1892 Bryan told the wage-earners
that the dollar did not buy enough, and
many of them believed it. Today the
burden of his plant is that the dollar
buys too much" That is different
story Can any workman swallow it !?
In the Fifty-third Congress Bryan
championed "cheapness." We then
had the gold standard, protection
plenty of business, good wages and
ascribes it to the crime of 1873"
In the Fifty-third Congress Bryan
favored free wool. Protection was
withdrawn. Wool has fallen from 2s
cents to II to IA cents. This low price,
he now says, is due to the gold stand
ard.
Under protection and the goli stand
ard in 1892, before Bryan and his asso-
ciates on the Ways and Means commit.
tee had prepared free-trade bill, pros
peritys in this country was universal
and labor fully employed at high wages.
Since the doctrlnaires did their work,
about sixty per cent of the factory
hands have been out of work-on ac-
count of the gold standard, says Bryan.
In 1892 the cry of the Bryans was
trusts" and high prices" Now it is
trusts" and 'low prices"
In 1892 it was the game of the Bryans
to array the masses against the
''classes" on recount of "high prices u
Now they are attempting the same
thing with the shout of "low prices"
In 1892 these men proclaimed that
free trade would do wonders for the
people. Now they promise that free
coinage will work miracles.
In 1892 they were humbugs and
frauds In 1896 they are frauds and
humbugs. Times Star.

inHmcn Bcggars.
In response to query regarding tho
labor record of the Democratic candi-
date, William j. Bryan, Jamee Camp
bell, chief factory inspector and an
ex-president of the Window Glass
Workers of Pennsylvania, writes from
Harrisburg that Bryan opposed meas
ures intended to benefit workingmen.
Mr.. Campbell was member Of the
committee that went to Washington
in 1898 to urge the ways and means
committee to protect labor by putting
a tariff on glass. Mr.. Campbell was
present when Mr.. Bryan called work
ingmen public beggars" and their
employers robbers
He says: "Mr. Bryan made that
statement. have made affidavit to the
same, and am willing to make aff1da-
Pvit in any court in this country in the
presence OF 'Mr!. b Bryan or anybody
else. The fact of a man holding the
honorable position Of a congressman
making such a statement made such
an impression on me at that time that
it would be impossible to forget the
incident.
"on page 2129, Congressional Rec
ord, March 10, 1892, you will find in
Mr. Bryan's speech the following
statement: The difference between a
protective tariff and a bounty is SIM
ply a difference of form. In the one
case it is open and visible, and in the
other it is secret and hidden. There
is difference between the bounty and
the protective tariff that the Bible de-
scribes that wasteth at MONDAY and
the pestilence that walketh in dark
ness. 1t is the difference between a
man that meets you on the highway,
knocks you down and takes what you
have, and the man who steals in the
house at night while you are asleep
and robs you Of your treasures, and If
l had to make a choice between the
two 1 should consider the highway
robber more honorable, because he
does what he does openly and before
the world, {
There is no question as to Mr.. Bry-
kan's position in relation to protect
i've tariff. He is in favor of absolute
free trade, pure and simple, and is in
favor of internal taxes sufficient to
run the affairs of the government"

of State Did This.
The absolute impossibility of the
Democratic state ticket being elected
has caused it's makeup to drop out of
sight. Even politicians have to stop
and scratch their heads to remember
the names of the four candidates on
this fusion ticket Most people have
even forgotten that the head of the
ticket is Clifton A. White of Manches-
ter, who was declared the nominee of
the Democratic state convention, at
Columbus, for secretary of state after
another man had been honestly nomi-
mated and was Endorsed by the Popu-
list state convention at Springfield
Judge White represented the Brown
Clermont district in congress during
the war. His votes and speeches dur
ing that period represented anything
but Ohio sentiment. One instance is
here given. During the short session
of the Thirty -eigth congress resolu-
ton was offered in the house tender
ing the thanks of congress to General
Phil Sheridan and his troops for tho
victories which he and they had won
in the Shenandoah valley. The origin
al resolution was amended and passed

The two negative votes were cast by

Chiffon A. White of Ohio. Mr.. Harris
subsequently was expelled from the

White is running for secretary of state

ticket. Chiffon A. Whites vote against
Phil Sheridan can be verified by refer
ence to the Congressional Globe, part

That took took him from our midst.

JESSE GRANT, who is quoted as say
ing that he believes his father, if liv-
ing today, would favor the free coinage
of silver at 16 to l, has evidently not
read his fathers State papers with
care. The following extracts from
President Grants Messages show how
little foundation he has for his asser-
ton:
II earnestly recommend such legisla-
latiod as will insure a gradual return
to specie payments and put an immed-
late stop to fluctuations in the value
of currency. To secure the lat
ter, see but one way and that is to
authorize the Treasury to redeem it's
own paper at fixed price when pre-
sented and to withhold from circula-
tion all paper so redeemed until sold
again for gold. The vast resources of
the nation, both developed and unde-
veloped, ought to make our credit the
best on earth."-President Grants
First Annual Message, Dec. 9th, 1869.
1.-The approach to the specie basis is
very gratifying, but the fact cannot be
denied that the instability of the value
of our currency is prejudcial to our
prosperity and tends to keep up prices
to the detriment of trade. The evils of
deprecated and fuctnating currency
are so great that now, when the prem
ium on gold has fallen so much, it
would seem that the time has arrived
when Congress should look to a policy
which would place our currency on a
par with gold" - From President
Grants Second Annual Message, Dec.
5th, 1870.
Nothing seems to me more certain
than that full, healthy and permanent
reaction cannot take place in favor of
the industries and the financial welfare
OF the country until we return to the
measure of values recognized through
out the civilized world. The
yield of precious metals would flow out
for the purchase of foreign productions
and leave the United States shewers of
wood and drawers of water because of
wiser legislation on the subject of fin
ance by the nations with whom we
have dealings" - From President
Grants Seventh Annual Message,
Dec. 7th, 1876.

THE speech of Mr.. James II. Hoyt, of
Cleyeland, was corker, sure, and
must haye been provocative of much
good. 1t made Republicans feel we'll
over the fact that they were of that
political pursuasion, and it must have
caused numbers of Democrats to see
the error of their ways, and to have
convictions that the thing for them to
do was to line up with the Repu ublican
party.
Mr.. Hoyt's speech was not a long
one, but it bristled we'll with strong
argumentatiye points, that convinced
his large audience of his correct posi-
ton. His tribute to the great men of
the past, Wings, Democrats and Re-
publicans, who have filled the Presi-
dental chair, and his expression of dis
gust at the presumptious aspirations of
the kid" were masterful pieces of or
atory, and they told, too, as they
should.
The Hoyt speech was success, and
we hope to hear again from him. He's
the coming man, and we predict will
succeed to the Gubernational chair
when it is vacated by Governor Bush
nell.

One Vital Paragraph Suppressed
in the Argument Made by
Salisbury.
LIMITS OF BRITISH GUIANA.
Now the Venezuelan Commission Nav
Doubt the Truthfulness of the
Whole Volume.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1S.-The
Venezuelan Government has laid before
the high com mmisslon an authenticated
document, secured recently among the Of
ficlal records of the colony of British
Guiana, which throws grave suspicion on
the accuracy of the Salisbury blue book,
upon which England expressed a willing
ness to rest her claim to the disputed ter
ritory.
The document in question is the letter
from Governor Light of the colony to the
Marquis of Normandy dated July Is, 1862
transmitting a report from Schomburgk
regarding his travels under the auspices
OF the Royal Geographical Society. In
the British blue book part of the letter is
quoted, but the following vital paragraph
is suppressed: 81 shall observe there are
no documents in the archives of the col
ony respecting the western or southern
limits of British Guiana.
"The memoir of Mr.. Schom burgk is there
fore valuable; it confirms the opinion of
the Superintendent of Essequibo as to the
western limits, and points out what may
be fit subjects for discussion with the dif-
ferent Governors whose territories border
on British Guiana. The Colombia Gov
ernmentis desirous of ascertaining theirs.'
The fact here established that there
were no documents in the archives of the
colony respecting the western or southern
limits of British Guiana at that critical
period when both Brazil and Colombia
were resisting the final encroachments OF
England, in the opinion of those now
studying the question, seriously weakens
the British contention.
Under ordinary circumstances the great
mass of these archives quoted in the blue
book might have had weight with the
high commission, but the discovery of fall
sifcation in quoting an English letter has
book and the entire publication is regarded
with distrust.
