LAZARD FREREs.


Zeal in any cause is a most desirable
thing, but zeal should be tempered with
discretion. If it is not it viii surely
lead one sometime or other into a
fatal or ludicrous blunder An es-
teemed contemporary, the Denver
Times, has let its zeal run away with
it. Speaking of the movement to i'm
port gold into the United States it
says:
Late advices from New York men
ton Lazard Freres as one of the
money brokers of Wall street, who
will act as agent in the Importation of
twenty-five million dollars of gold,
which is one of the latest schemes of
patriotism" on the part OF the bank
ers and ffnanciers of Manhattan. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the occu-
patton will be congenial to Mr. Freres,
he has been so long engaged in ex-
porting. He has been so long acting
as broker for the depletion of the
American treasury and the conversion
OF American notes into gold that one
can only with difficulty come to con-
celve of him as being an operator for
what is boosted of as a patriotic effect
TO Save" Uncle Sam.
Particularly during the past three
years and a half has Mr. Freres been
conspicuous in aiding the drain upon
the United States treasury reserve
He was one OF the first to start the
extraordinary exports of gold that be-
gan two months before their normal
time in 1898. He was one of the most
active in forcing gold to a premium
during the months OF May, June and
July Of that year, and in invading the
open market to purchase at any cost
for shipment abroad.
While the banks of the metropolis
We're trembling on the verge of suspen-
sion, LaZard Freres was out in the
exchange streets making money out of
the fright and difficulties of those
banks. 1t was such mel as he that
contributed more largely than any
other single influence to the crisis that
led to the repeal of the Sherman silver
law and the issuing of the bonds which
increased the debt of the United States
over one hundred and sixty millions.
1t is such men as he that feed their
private wealth, like parasites sucking
at the social welfare 1t is such men
as he that now become useful to the
money syndicate who stand behind the
preservation of the gold standard.
The sentiment of the article is all
right; the only trouble with it is that
Mr.. Freres" is no other than Mr..
Brothers," Lazard Freres or Lazard
Brothers being the name of the bank
ers. Substitute Messrs. Lazard for
Mr.. Freres," and the article goes"

after that was the descent of midnight.
The sober second thought of the Ameri-
can people has returned. They have be-
gun 70 face the dangers which threat
ened the honor, if not the existence,
of the republic. They are gladly return
ing from their national policies Of dis
honor and destruction. The heated term
is nearly over. chilling frost fell the
other evening. Never before in one
evening did SO great a stream of words
drench and so great q drought of ideas
pour on New York audience.
The people in Absalons day found
that his patronizing manner, his conde-
scending friendship, and his effusive
elocution-I beg of you to observe that
I am speaking of Absalom-wer at the
ratio of is ounces of pretension to l
grain of possession.
This leads me to speak of the last
characteristic of this candidate for high
office. The story is an interesting and
thrilling one at this point. Absalom
came into open rebellion against David.
Absalom had bad advisers. The battle
was fought on the borders of the forest
at Ephrainl. Absalom was defeated
and on his swift mule fed, and his long
hair caught on the boughs of an oak.
The mule fled and he was left sus-
pended. David charged his troops not
to STAY Absalom, but Joab fastened to
the spot and pierced him through with
three darts. His story is most pathetic,
suggestive and instructive The darts
are votes The literal death is the po-'
litical death, and the warnings which
the story of Absalom gives are as sol
emn as they are numerous and practi-
cal.
Was the American pulpit ever before
so prosfitutad as by DR.. Macarthur? AS
a master Of blasphemy he is without
a rival And how far fetched is his at
tempted analogy between the candidacy
of Mr. Bryan and the rebellion of Alb
salon. Has Mr.. Bryan rebelled against
any king? 1t may be, in fact we are
inclined to think that this spectacular
preacher regards the money kings as
veritable kings of Israel No doubt he
would be delighted to play the part of
Joab and pierce Mr.. Bryan's body with
darts. The Rev. DR.. Robert L. McAr-
thur has distinguished himself as an
ass; that is all.

THE LONDON FINANc1AL NEWS.

Some little while ago The Herald, as
did most of the papers of the west, pub
lished what purported to be an extract
from 1.-The London Financial News" of
March 10, 1896, which was a very favor
able view of what would be the effect
of free silver upon the prosperity of the
United States. The gist of the article
was that now the trade of the world
is in British hands, but that it would
not long remain there if the United
States went TO a bimetallic basis with
free and unlimited coinage of silver;
that with the addition of silver to the
volume of money, everything in this
country would take on a new face;
labor and industry would gain new life;
that the grip Of the gold standard on
the products of the world would be loos-
ened and prices would rise; that Great
Britain would lose her markets in South
America, Asia and Europe, and that
American ships would not be long in
capturing the carrying trade of the
world.
1t seems that the article was not gen
uine, for the London correspondent of
the New York Tribune cables that paper
under date of August Is that "The
Financial News" of August IS pro-
nounces the article a forgery, saying:
No such article was ever printed by
us, and its whole tenor is directly OBJ
posed to the view we have taken of
the effect Of free silver in the United
States. So far from advocating free
silver coinage. we have persistently
pointed out that it spells reputation,
and the withdrawal of all European
capital.
The cause Of free silver does not need
the aid of forged articles purporting to
come from English financial papers of
high standin~ to support it; it can stand
on its merits whether English financial
papers are for or against it. The bene-
fits that would come from free silver
are all that this specious article says.
but whoever inspired the article had
little regard for the cause it seemingly
sought to aid. It is not improbable
that the forgery was the work OF an
enemy Of silver. No honest cause can
afford to resort to dishonest. and dis
reputable methods to advance it; and
free coinage is an honest cause.

A. LITTLE WHILE.


4 little while a little love,
The hour yet bears for thee and me,
Who have not drawn the veil to see
If still our heaven be lit above,
Thou merely at the days last sigh,
Hast felt thy soul prolong the tone;
And l have heard the night-wind cry
And deemed its speech my own.
a little while little love,
The scattering autumn boards for us,
Whose bower is not yet ruinous
Nor quite unleav'd our songless grove,
Only across the shaken boughs
We hear the fioodtides seek the sea,
And deep in both our hearts they rouse
One wall for thee and me.
A little while little love,
May yet be ours who have not said
The world it makes our eyes afraid
To know that each is thinking of,
Nor yet the end; be our lips dumb
In smiles little season yet,
I'll tell thee, when the end is come,
How we may best forget.

A GOLD PAPER ON CaCKRAN's
SPEECH.

The gold papers of New York found
their vocabularies wholly inadequate
to sound the praises of Bourke Cochran
for his reply to Mr.. Bryan. If one
were to judge of the speech by their
comments upon It he would conclude
that it was the greatest speech ever
delivered. 1t was not by any means.
though they seemed to think that the
people of the country would look upon
it as such if they but told them it
was.
At least one gold standard paper
does not so regard Mr.. Cockran's
speech, and that paper is the Spring
field, Mass, Republican.
1t declares there were very serious
mistakes in the affair. It says the
first mistake was that the New York
press. after heaping depreciation and
ridicule upon Mr. Bryan's effort, sud
denly began to declainl the praises of
Cochran. wait for Cochran" Hear
tie greatest living orator." See our
Bourke cut and slash and swat the
boy orator of the Platte"-thus were
expectations wrought to an unprece-
dented pitch. This, it thinks, was a
boyish. absurd performance on the
part of the New York press.
The second mistake it says, was
Cochran himself. If Bryan is nothing
but a declaimer of emotional periods,
a rhetorical coruscator, a babbler of
words and phrases. what shall be said
of Cochran? it asks. Then the Re
publican proceeds to tell the exact
truth about Mr.. Cochran:
THE New Yorker it says has no
reputation save that which comes
from fervid defamation, generally ut
tered Cat least until recent date in
the service of the most corrupt gang
of political plunderers American his
whatever as a student of economic
problems, and his fitness to discuss the
silver question was something that
awaited public demonstration. AS
citizen Mr.. Cochran may fairly be
said to be a New Yorker of the pesti-
lent type that has no acquaintance
with the west and little sympathy with
its broad and expansive life. AS for
the western farmer, he probably
knows no more about him than he
does of the peasants of southern
Russia. And this was the kind of
champion the gold Democrats of New
York chose as their spokesman
Pretty severe that, but severe only
because it is true. The Republican
says that the speech was not the con-
elusive and paralyzing answer to the
address Of Mr.. Bryan which was
promised; that it is not such an ex-
position of the objections to the free
coinage of silver as should entirely
satisfy the opponents of that policy.
Mr.. Bryan has been more or less
criticised by the New York papers and
gold papers generally. for having read
his address instead of speaking ex-
tempore. The Republican is of opinion
that NJ. Cochran made a mistake in
speaking extemporaneously upon an
occasion that required the most care
full preparation.
Mr.. Cochran did not help the cause
he championed, and any person who
will take the trouble to read his speech
carefully, and compare it with Mr.
Bryan's, cannot but conclude that it
was no answer at all to his address.

CHICKENS COME HOME TO Roosr.

In the town of Marshall, ILL.,, the
other day ctwas Thursday lasD the
Clark County Herald, the Republican
organ. came out with an EDITORIAL de-
nouncing the silver advocates. 1t ran
as follows:
When you see a free siIverite you see
a man who wouldn't earn a dollar hon
estly if he could get it dishonesty; one
who would let his wife take i'm washing
for a living while he held down dry
goods boxes; one who never owned a
pair of pants without a Cleveland
badge on the seat; and one who will
steal before he will provide for his own
household; one who thinks he can ride
to glory in a political band wagon; one
who sees a fat job in the future if the
thing wins; one who shuts his eyes
while somebody slips from so cents to
IS into his hand for his vote; one who
has no more stamina, no more principle,
no more self-respecte than to be bribed
to commit any crime. This may be lit
tie harsh but it is true to the letter.
The Democratic campaign committee
saw that it would prove a, good cam
paign document and had thousands of
copies printed and circulated every
where. The Republicans were iunme-
diately seized with a panic. A council
was called by them and a circular is
sued to the voters denouncing the edi-
tD1fal, but it was too late; the article
had had its effect The writer of it was
fired"
1t is a foolish thing for any paper to
call one-half of the American people
looms and louis because they do not
chance TO see as the paper does. Call
ing names is not the way to draw peo-
pie to amy cause.
