the East cannot live and grow and thrive

Jugglers with the National Credit.
CHAUNCEY DEPEW

'.Bryan and .Sewan and Watson pro
claim a revolution. These juggers with
the national faith and national credit.
with business and prosperity, with labor
and employment, are recklessly endeav-
in which capital and labor. and homes
and wages are inextricably involved.
The right of revolution is divine, but it
must have supreme justification. Under
our constitutions and institutions and
laws as they exist there is before us
in the promises of the Populistic leaders
upon that sea Of reputation and dishon-
or which has wrecked every nation and
every people that ever embarked upon
it. This revolution promises to- destroy
the Supreme court, to prevent the issue
of bonds and the use of the credit of
the country for any purpose, to debase
the currency, to issue, if need be, ire
deemable paper and fat money, and to
destroy the validity and the 'inviolability
of contracts between individuals. It
proposes to seize the railways and the
te1egraphs, to enter upon vague and
vast system of paternal government and
to destroy those elements of American
liberty by which the government governs
least and the individual has unlimited
opportunity for industrial business, pro-
fessional and political honors and emolu-

dom of the fathers of our republic. A
century of experiment has abundantly
and Overwhelmingly justified their fore
sight, craftsmanship and patriotism.
They saw the horrors of the French
revolution, and they made up their minds
to guard their country against the ex-
cesses Of temporary madness. They
created the executive and the legislative
branches of the government and made
them subject to frequent submission to
the will and judgment of the people, but
they enacted written constitution un-
der which the executive and the legisla-
tive branches must act, and then they
created that new feature of government,
that palladium of the rights of the peo-
pie and the permanence of our institu-
tons, an Independent judiciary. court
which could say to a wild Congress:
You have overleaped the boundaries of
the constitution and you must bring
yourselves within it's limits They knew
from the precedents Of liberty behind
them that the judiciary can always be
trusted. There are two places under
our constitution where neither wealth
nor power gives any advantage to the
individual, where the richest and the
poorest, the most exalted and the hum
blest stand on the same plane; one is the
ballot box and the other the court. And
yet this Democratic and Populistic al
lance proposes to destroy this majestic
tribunal and make it simply the echo of
the party caucus which controls Congress
this year and may be driven into OBJ
security next"

Bryan for Fiat Money.

EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER.
Mr.. Bryan at heart cares nothing for
the free coinage of silver. Mr., Bryan
is first and last believer in fat money,
and he is only using the free coinage
of silver to arrive at that finally This
is serious charge to make, but if /
cannot prove it | will apologize publicly
for it.
In the September number of the Arena
Just last month-there is an article on
the currency by Mr.. Bryan, in which
he criticises Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds in time of peace, and espe
cially for selling them to a syndicate.
He says: 'When the United States,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation, opens it's minis to
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
Is to 1 it will bring real relief to it's peo-
pie, and will lead the way to the restora-
ton of bimetallism throughout the world.
It will then be prepared to perfect it's
financial system by furnishing paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties and sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. It's paper
money will not be loaned then to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government, so that all may receive
the benefits"
This is fat money, pure and simple.
Mr.. Bryan proposes to stop taxation and
pay the expenses of the government by
once launched upon that boundless sea
would as certainly fall and go down as
did the French republic. which was set
up at the close of the last century by
a lot of theorists and revolutionists.
They issued during a few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fat money
called assignats and mandats. They
gave legal-tender quality to it, but
while it could pay debts they could
not compel people to take it in pur-
chase. In other words, they could give
legal-tender quality to the money, but
they could not give purchasing power
until finally it all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not single franc Of it was
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
who had parted with their property
for it were rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was valueless.
Shall this be lesson to us! And
can we contemplate the probability of
putting into power as President of the
United States man who holds such
views? In my humble opinion there is
but one way to bring us back to prosper
ity and to the path of progress, and that
is to return to the system of admins
tration which has been of such great
benefit to us in the past, and to follow
in that path, to follow the lamp of ex-
perience. To do that every true, honest
American citizen, without distinction OF
party, should unite in this attempt at
restoration, and should by an overwhelm-
ing majority stamp out now and forever
the heresy and the folly of cheap and
debaSed currency.

GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.
s'No mans labor of yesterday or last
year can be preserved, except by some
representative or token of it, and money
is the almost universally adopted agent
for that purpose. Nothing in the world
should be so anxious as labor that the
token which represents it should be un-
varying and reliable Who can
preserve until tomorrow the labor of to-
day? It cannot be done, and the only
means of securing it's benefits is to re-
ceive and preserve some token which
shall stand in its stead and which may
be used as future needs may require"
And further on the speaker said: eff a
man is robbed, it is crime and he may
have redress. If bank fails and pays
him only So cents on the dollar, it is a
misfortune, and he is not yet without
hope of recovery. But if he votes away
AZ cents of every dollar, it is his own
fault, and he has nothing to condemn
but his own folly, which will remain
with him much longer than his money"

would not take them, the paper became
absolutely worthless, and when that pa
per became worthless it was found, not
in the hands Of the spectators; no, it
was found in the hands of the manu-
facturers. of the business men, of the
workingmen of France. 1t was on them
that the loss fell, because they had ex-
changed their labor and their earnings
for this worthless paper. That is the
history of all attempts to juggle with the
currency. The loss lands always in the
same place, and we can form no ex-
ception to the great natural laws.

Let us see what confronts us. What
is this free government that we hear
about from the rostrum only OCCASION

mental expression. Up to the estab-
lishment Of the American government,
governments had failed on the face of
the earth for the object for which gov
ernments are formed.
The theory is that this is the best
government and the only free govern
ment which achieves for the people

Bryan as an Orator.


But Mr.. Bryan know somewhat, and
find in his habits of life many things
to admire. He is a man of undoubted
talent, talent for the stage, perhaps,
rather than for 7statecraft. He is KIND
husband and an indulgent father. He
does not smoke or chew, drink or swear,
steal or gamble-in short, he has not a
single redeeming vice that [ know. of,
unless it might be lying; and even there
have had spells of thinking he believes
himself. Moreover, Mr.. Bryan is a man
of rare eloquence, although anyone read
ing his speeches would be pardoned for
doubling the assertion. Reduced to
and bombast, while those self-same
words, spoken in Bryan's voice-a. voice
as mellifluous as the sweetest pipe in
yonder organ-would stir your heart,
just as would the voice of great sim
ger, by the very quality of tone. Add to
this handsome, graceful presence and
fire and energy of action, and you can
Mr.. Bryan's audience what Mr.. Bryan
says, so long as he keeps on saying it.
The mistake he made in Madison
Square garden was in the attempt to ar
que. He ought never to do that, for
the divine attribute of reason was left
out of his mental makeup.
But, my friends, there is not a word
in this encomium which would not with
equal truth and appropriateness apply
to another famous Nebraskan, whose ex-
ploits are inseparably linked with the
history of Omaha; whose habits are as
regular as the sun, whose character is
as impeccable as Bryan's own, whose
presence is just as handsome, whose
powers of speech were formerly just as
great and have wrought many an audi
ence to tears, to laughter and to fren-

presidency, just, as Mr.. Bryan is doing,
on ticket of his own. I say that the
ticket on which Mr.. Bryan is running
for the presidency is essentially his
own, although two other gentlemen have
been casually mentioned in connection
with it-one trying to get off and the
other trying to get on. Here, you OBJ
serve, is sort of political cerebus, with
not the best of feeling between the ca
nine collaterals. Mr.. Bryan's predica-
ment is not without embarrassment. He
must feel as bewildered with these two
appendages as the proverbial cat with
a like number of tails. He has probably
prevailed upon Mr.. Sewall to stay where
he is, whereas Tom Watson wants to
know. He wants to know where he is
''at." He wants to know whether he is
a candidate for the ice-presidency or
only vermiform appendix.
