JUDGE JACKSON CALLS DOWN THE
RAILROAD CORPORATIONS.

kAlLhO Al) NOsN EOlNAilONSs
The judiciary Of the country is begin
ming to take notice Of the violation of
law involved in the intimidation Of en-
ployes of corporations in this campaign.
It is the most despicabe, cowardly and
dangerous sort of law breaking, be-
cause it is a direc, attack upon the I'M
DERIVING principles OF our government
The freedom OF the ballot. The Register
called attention sons days ago TO the
charge delivered 10y Maryland Judge to
a grand jury, in when he called their
special attention to this species Of law
breaking by corporations, condemning
ii in unmeasured terms and advising
the severest investigation.
Now Judge Jackson, in the Parkers-
burg district, has found it necessary 10
call attention to this species of outrage
in his charge 10 the grand jury. he
called the attention of the jurors to Sec
ton Z, Chapter ., of the Code relating

The prevalence Of this crime against

The railroads are not the only
offenders in this respect, As is
pointed out corporations of various

HERE Is \ FI.Ai AUKNOWIEDGMENr
What will the wage-earner gain by douo-
ling the price of the silver mine owner
product? This is a nettlesome little Ques-
ton which no free silver advocate can
swer.-Intelligencer.
Col Hart has been so long down IN

20 noe the Observation-Disclosures
aDg effec, Of this absurd argument
Every channel Of trade and every
wo~kingman and every farmer and all
Of our citizens have everything to gain
from a plenteous supply of money. This
generally accepted proposition needs no
demonstration.
And that this will be good money and
every dollar Of it a 1OO-cent dollar, in
stead OF. a 5O-cent dollar, under free
coinage. the InteIigencer admits in the
above in the statement that free coinage
~9uld be DOUBLING THE PRICE OF
THE SILVER NINE OWNERS PRO
DUCT"
This is precisely what Mr.. Bryan says
il will do when ne declares that free
coinage will make the silver dollar the
equal. cent for cent, of the gold dollar by
raising the price OF silver at once to $1.29
per ounce. Il is what the advocates Of
the money of the Constitution have been
trying to beat into the heads of the re-
fracjory gold-bugs. 1t is the kind OF
1ree coinage which the Republicans say
they are willing to accept. Ii solves the
whole problem at once and does away
with any possible necessity for Inter
national agreement" Il knocks the
" hole gold-bug argument in the head.
Our ueighbor has blundered into an
acknowledgement Of the entire truth of
the free coinage contention and the ut
ter falsity and absurdi;y Of the Wall st.
argument
This is a 'nettlesome" little point
which we leave for the distinguished
consideration of our esteemed contem-
pOrary.

Presidency. whereupon there was an
overturn in State politics, with a new
convention. a new platform and new
candidate for Governor. When all this
bapDaps 10 a party that could no; posi-
bly, carry an election even if it were
united. the only wonder IS that it IS able
20 make any showing at all.
Yet iaa Maine Democracy lost NJ
votes On the contrary, it gained con-
siderabIe-gbout S.O00-although, OF
course the Republican party gained
very much more. Tbs Republicans had
The money to thoroughly canvass the
STATE and bring out every voter, while
thsv were united as a party, against
divided Democracy. II is, indeed, a
wonder FIAT the Democrats made the
showing they did in the Pine Tree State
Things were different in Arkansas,
however. although, as in every State
eyervwhers. the Republicans had all the
money and the Democrats none. The
maiorities were different also. Inc DeHl-
oeratic vote and majority were unprsce-
dented and cast the Republican showing
IN Maine away in the shade. When 1t
comes to q showdown" at this stage OF
the game the Democrats have consider
ably the best of it.
1t is not to the Northeast that Mr..
BRYAN looks for the votes that will elect
him. He doesn't need them. The West
and the South will more than do ii. It
IS to be hoped, however, that it will
no: be a sectional vote but that New
York and New Jersey Will remain in
the Democratic column.

A Nut to Crack.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The papers report Mr.. Bryan as again
asking:
"Can the United States take all the silver
offered? If SO. we can maintain the parity.
The only way to know absolutely Is to try
&c.
Discretion would suggest that before try
ing, we find out what we are going to try.
With that view, the finance committee Of
the United States Senate prepared the vol
ume known as the Coinage Laws"
Mr. Bryan would do well to read the ex-
tract from Prof. Lexis on page ia, where
1t is shown that the production Of silver in
the sixteen years from 1876 to 1891 aggre-
gated S. 1O9, ,394, 600, while the coinage was
only s1.50,0ooo. and tell his hearers
what has become of the s549. So. 900 of I'M
coined silver. Then If he will add to that
sum the production from 1892 to 1890, wi hich
was about $925.2jOOOO according to tables
on page 103) he will have nut to crack
with his 'law of supply and demand
which will tax it's hammering qualities to
the amount of 81 500. 100000 Of uncoined sill
yer lying around loose, waiting for the
opening Of the mints Of the United States.
These are not the writer's figures; they are
taken from that repository of silver facts.
&c, THE Coinage Laws of the United
States" prepared as aforesaid.
The law of supply and demand has had
an experimental test on a purchase of "a,
100000 ounces the American output
yearly. not only without creating an up
ward tendency in the price of silver. but
with an actual fall. And "as coming
events cast their shadows before" there
ought to be ''in sight at least shade or a
shadow of increase In price amidst the "en-
thusiasm'' that welcomes Mr.. Bryan as the
coming man, who will raise the price OF
silver to s1.29 in gold all over the world
Speculation. usually so alert and swift to
seize an opportunity, fails to see the least
encouragement to invest for a rise in the
bullion value of silver.
There were statesmen in this country be-
fore Mr.. Bryan, and there we're sincere
friends of silver when he was muling and
pulling in the nurses arms. The great Sec
retary of the Treasury, Mr.. Manning, held
that the "silver trouble was universal
and that the remedy must be interna tional
''for bimetallism was international or II
was nothing" N
