BRYAN THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Everything tends to show that, if by
any mischance the Republicans elect their
candidate for the Presidency, he will be
powerless to carry out the platform upon
which he was nominated. The extent of
the silver sentiment in the South and
West means majority for that party in
the House of Representatives., while as to
the Senate it is already for silver and no
Republican success this year can change
the majority there Thus with the cleo
ton of Mckinley there would come no
prospect for change, and the country
would have to drag on through four more
weary years of financial depression before
relief came. That the people would suffer
what they have for four years more and
still vote for continuance of Republican
rule, no one who realizes the unsettled
condition of affairs now for moment be-
lieves; hence as matter of wisdom it
would be better to try the experiment of
free coinage at once than to wait for
another Presidential election before so
doing. While it is believed this would
afford the relief so urgently needed, there
would be chance to change the law pro-
viding for it should free coinage not prove
success BY electing Bryan in Novem-
Der the matter will have been fully settled
in two years; whereas by electing McKin-
ley we simply postpone the inevitable and
intensity the sufferihgs and discomforts
which lack of employment and cheapness
OF products have brought upon the people.
In all of the speeches OF the Sage of
Canton his great argument is for protec-
ton, which, according to his theory, is to
start the mills to running and by giving
employment to labor and capital restore
confidence in the business world and bring
comfort and prosperity to the people AS
this scheme has already been tried under
the workings Of a law drawn up by the
same man who is now seeking the Prtsi-
Dental Office, and proven miserable fail
ure, what reason have the people of the
country to believe that it will be a success
next time? The conditions are no better
for the enactment of tariff now than
they were eight years ago, if as good for
each year leaves the manufacturing in
dustries of the country more self-sustain-

SENATOR MARION BUTLER.

Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro-
lima, has shown himself to be one of the
shrewdest political managers now in the
field. AS national chairman of the Peo-
pies party it is mainly through his efforts
that fusion Of the Democrats and all the
friends of silver has been effected in nearly
every State where it is needed; while in
those which are still holding back in this
regard there is every prospect of an early
and complete agreement. AS the Popu-
lists will cast nearly two million votes in
the coming election, any arrangement
which secures these to Mr.. Bryan will do
much in turning the scales of victory in
his direction. With antagonistic ele-
ments to work upon in the various
States, Senator Butler has nevertheless
displayed so much tact and Judgment in
managing his party associates, they will
all be in line on the Bird of November to
turn the scales in doubtful States and
House with hurrah that will resound
throughout the length and breadth of the
land.
This is a remarkable record for man
only 33 years old, and who Is few years
ago was the obscure editor of country
weekly. Many a man would be satisfied
to rest awhile on the laurels already won,
but Mr.. Buffers elevation to the United
States Senate only made him all the more
industrious and indefatigable, and though
tho old he Of hot Ix,
first accustomed to ridicule his efforts
they now acknowledge, that there is
more in him than they first supposed
One thing at least is certain, and that is,
he has genius for political management,
which is adding greatly to the chances of
success for Mr.. Bryan and the cause of
free silver. Should the Chicago nominee
be elected President, of which there now
seems no doubt, and Populist is given
place in his Cabinet, it could not we'll
He would make good Secretary of the
Interior or of Agriculture. In fact,
such is his versatility and diplomatic
ability that he might exhibit astonishing
powers as the head of the Department of
State if once placed there. AT any rate he
has future before him greater than any
thing he has yet attained, and that he
believes in the final triumph of the cause
he so we'll defends is evident from the
following utterance in a recent interview
Said he: "While have not the slightest
doubt at the present time of Bryan's
election, his defeat would merely post
pone our triumph to q still greater one
four years hence. Meanwhile, we have a
Senate solidly for free silver, and we
shall unquestionably elect free silver
House, whether we gain majority in
the electoral college or not. In other
words, the Republicans will be powerless
to pass any legislation, and we shall sim
ply have four years in which to demon
etrate their incompetency and impotence.
Either way the future is ours"

The Washington Post, referring to the
fact that the railroad companies had to
utilize freight cars in order to accommo-
date people in West Virginia who desired
to hear Mr.. Bryan speak, very pertinent
ly remarks: "When people ride in freight
cars to hear political speaker, it is not
safe to settle the election in advance by
taking straw votes in the Pullman cars"
The Mckinley people will find that there
s much more in this than they are now
willing to admit The great vote that
will go to Bryan will be in the rural dis
tricts, and rs the big dailies who are
whooping up Mckinley interests are not
much in touch with this class, they will
be woefully disappointed when the returns
are all in after the third ssof November.
In fact the election this year promises to
be one OF great surprises to the Republi-
cans and their allies.

The Washington Post of Sunday, in it's
talk Of "The Hotel Lobbies," has the fol-
lowing cheerful statement from West
Virginian as to Mr.. Bryan's chances in
that State: ''Bryan's triumphal tour
through West Virginia has taken it out
of the doubtful list" said n. p. Robin
son, OF that State, at the Riggs. 1.-THE
enthusiasm of the people who went to
hear him was remarkable, and the i'm
preston he made upon his audience was
never equaled by any public man who
ever appeared in our country. I saw sew
eral men who heard him at Martinsburg
take off Mckinley buttons they had been
wearing and throw them to the ground.

ing and better able to compete with those
of England, France and Germany for
share of the trade Of the world Consul
lar reports and statistics OF exports show
that the American manufactures are not
only sold in Mexico and the other coun-
tries to the south of us in annually in
creasing quantities, but that in many
lines the products Of American industry
are competing with those OF England,
France and Germany upon their own
ground.
Advocates Of protective tariff claimed
that..it was mainly to protect the infant
industries OF the country until they were
able to stand up alone against foreign
competition. If under the Senate tariff
bill they not only do this, but actually
enter those far off fields, why should
further protection be needed here, except
to foster trusts and develop monopolies,
which is the real aim of so many of those
who are crying out for protection. Hence
if protective tariff is not needed and
could not be restored under. existing con-
ditions, however much the Republicans
might desire It, what is the use of voting
for Mckinley? His election will not
change the situation at all, as has already
been shown, excepting for the worse;
hence, unless the voters desire four years
more of the same business depression that
has existed during the whole term of the
present administration, they should vote
for Bryan and free coinage This will put
the wheels of commerce in motion and
start the life blood of national prosperity
and enterprise to throbbing in the arteries
of trade. With the continuation of the gold
standard and the fall in the price of pro-
ducts may come reduction of the labor
ing mems salaries, because under the con-
tinued business depression employment
would be hard to obtain, and consequent
ly there would be the liveliest competition
in employment offering salaries and
wages. When the farmer, the laboring
man and the man of small means look at
the issue rs it really is they must neces-
sarily see that Bryan is the only hope,
and that the claims of all other candi-
dates are fallacious.
