ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1895.
--=------------- -------------------= =-------=
Worker for the workers is but another
way of saying work for Mckinley.
Those who attempt to sidetrack the
tariff issue succeed only in sidetracking
themselves.
The Popocrat balloon has begun to
shrink and will soon be in a state of
total collapse.
Bryan can keep on talking, but he can
no longer make the people pay attention
to what he says.
The silence OF Tiilman since the discov-
cry of the whisky scandal in South Caro-
lima is becoming noticeable.
Fusion consists merely in the trading of
ofice-seekers, and there is no profit in it
for honest Democrats or honest Populists.
Democracy promised to make things
Id
SO cheap it is going begging all over the
country.
Whenever there is a depression of prices
there is depression of labor, and that is
how free trade reached the pockets of the
workingman.
The people need no more straws to show
how the country is going this year. They
feel the National impulse themselves and
are moving with it.
Almost every producer in America has
lost more or less by the Democratic tariff,
and it is in vain that Bryan tells them the
tariff is not an issue.
Palmer and Buckner are being bitterly
denounced by their old party associates,
are right and are going ahead.
When Mckinley said ''This is year of
political contention without bitterness"
he had evidently forgotten the Sewall and
Watson phase of the controversy.
The establishment of a protective tariff
that will revive industry may not be an
issue in the canvass. but all the same it is
what majority of the people are going to
vote for.
The number of Democratic papers that
have bolted the Chicago platform and
ticket is said to have exceeded 200. and
what is meant by that we shall see in
November.
Considering what reputation Bryan
had as an orator when the campaign
began it is strange how few things he says
which even Democratic organs think it
worth while to repeat.
Free silver may suit the people of Mon
tana and Colorado, but free trade doesn't,
and accordingly the people of those States
are not so eager to vote for Bryan as the
Bryanites think they are.
When the workingmen of the country
have good wages and can consume the
products of our farms there are good times
for everybody, but there can be no good
wages without protection.
The best campaigner for Mckinley has
been Mckinley, and the worst campaiener
for Bryan has been Bryan, and that is
why the people are rapidly becoming
unanimous for sound money and pro-
lection.
The defeat of Bryan should be made
emphatic enough to show what the Ameri-
can people think OF candidate for the
Presidency who tries TO stir up strife be-
tween labor and capital on any issue
whatever.
The Republican party is opposed to
monome metallism of any kind, whether of
gold or OF silver, and that is the reason the
business sense of the country supports it
on the money question as well as on that
of the tariff.
Early in the canvass Mr.. Bryan said,
u do not think it will require great deal
OF talk in this campaign; and he has
been talking ever since. What does the
boy orator regard as great deal in the
way OF talk2
The attempt to array the earnest silver
men of the West on the side of Bryanism
has failed. Teller and Dubois are about
the only men Of note who have gone over,
and they are taking but little part in the
campaign. The Great West will be counted
in November for protection, sound money,
international bimetelIism, good wages,
good government and good times.
Many conservative Democrats who have
joined the Republican party in this cam
paign will stay with 1t after the campaign
is over, for as a matter of fact large
number of business men who have hitherto
acted with Democracy are as much OPP
posed to free trade as they are to free
silver. and having now broken with their
old party will never 20 back again.
