Arrayins Glass Against Glass.

The Des Moines fusion convention plat
form and speeches make it evident that
so far as the Democratic leaders are con-
cerned the purpose is to excite passion and
prejudice and to array voters of different
occupations against each other for po-
litical effect. The keynote of the speech
of Candidate White, the platform and the
temper of the convention, make it appar-
ent that the campaign is to be marked by
an attempt to array one part Of the citi-
zens against the other on the Equitable
distribution Of property" basis. The con-
vention made an exhibition Of dema-
gogism in it's declaration of a policy
against those who: have, by industry and
economy, built up the large interests Of
the State. and contributed to the pros
perity of the whole people.
1t is one of the dangerous signs of the
times that hostility to property and men
who own property, is SO marked in great
party, and that expressions hostile to the
prosperous element in the State were
applauded. 1t is a sad thing to contem-
plate. If it is sincere we have fallen up
on evil days. II it is sham Democratic
leaders must, wear the mark of the dema-
gogue. Such an exhibition should startle
every good citizen into activity against
this covert socialism. The mission of good
citizenship should be to allay strife and
animosity, rather than to arouse t.

Mckinley on Labor Unions.

The recent declaration Of President Nc
kinley with reference to labor unions in
an interview with Mr.. Gompers. president
Of the American Federation of Labor.
voiced the sentiments of all fair-minded
men on this subject that has occasioned so
much bitter controversy among students
of SOCIOLOGICAL and industrial problems.
The anti-pooling bill to restrain the OPP
Grafton of pools and trusts has caused
the leaders Of organized labor some appre-
hension. Mr.. Gompers was afraid that
the labor unions might be classed as trusts
and that the penalties Of the act might be
construed as applying to them rather than
to the large combinations usually known
as trusts. Their apprehensions were re-
lieved, however, by the President. who
said: 81 regard the organiza ton Of labor
as the natural and legitimate effort to Sc
cure it's rights"
No fair-minded person will dissent from
the views of the President upon this
question The encouragement of light
mate trades unionism is praiseworthy. be-
cause the fundamental idea of the or
CARNATIONS. if properly carried out. must
exalt and dignity labor. The principles
of trades unionism honestly and faithfully
applied are certainly calculated to inn
prove the moral. social and physical con-
dition Of the laborers. Through coop
erative combinations they are enabled to
lift up the oppressed. to succor the des-
titute and to aid the unfortunate. By
compact organizations for the advance
ment of mutual interests they are en-
abled through the peaceful agencies OF
arbitration to adjust differences between
employer and employe and to secure the
best market possible for the labor they
have to sell.
When the trades unions depart from
these legitimate and honorable functions
they imperil the highest interests OF hon
est labor and invite discord. confusion
and disaster. The leaders of the trades
unions should dedicate all their energies
and powers to the social. moral and edu,
cational advancement of labor and should
shun the political agitator as they would
shun a pestiience.

Activity in Business center..

Attention is called to the fact that sell
dom. even in periods of the greatest bust
ness activity, have the loans of the New
York City banks scored as large gain
as the one reported for the week just
closed. Tsey made an increase of $11,
100000. For several weeks past their
loans have been increasing, but the expan-
sion Just made was the largest known
in any six days in a long time. This in
creased demand for money is significant.
It means that $11, OOO, 900 more of money
went into various enterprises from the
New York City banks alone, the past
week than the week before, to pay labor
and to quicken all the channels of trade
and business. The increase in loans is
not confined to the banks of New York
CITY. It is noted in proportionate meas
ure in all the cities Of the country. The
effects of the vast additions to the ac-
tual money circulation passing through
the hands OF the people are also being felt
everywhere. not in boom, but in slow
" and steadily rising tide of better times.

Iowan Keeps Getting Further Away
from Chicago Platform.
Ex-Gov. Boes has made public another
statement answering the attack recently
made on his position. His statement
takes him entirely away from the 16 to l
doctrine. Among other things he says:
Let Congress provide that any person hav-
Ing gold or silver bullion of the value of $40
or multiples thereof may deposit the same

In reply to the objection raised by Col.
Fox that Boies' plan meant virtually
gold standard, the Ex-Governor says that
in a narrow sense it may be so claimed,
but in a broad and practical sense 1t
would result in true bimetallism. not only
in law. but in fact as felt. Then he says:
The Chicago platform is no longer binding

IL Is interesting to note how the ac-

The Silver Push for Teller.

The Yankton Press and Dakotan, one
of the organs of populism in South Da-
kota, and presumably close to Senator
Pettigrew, gives support to the story re-
Gently sent out by the Associated Press
from Denver that the silver forces are
planning to substitute Senator Teller for
William Jennings Bryan in the campaign
of 1900. Naturally the Yankton organ
discredits the suggestion Of conspiracy
against Mr.. Bryan, and assumes that ne
will be one of the first to refuse noml-
nation if he believes stronger man cap
be named" The Press and Dakotan does
not deal with the presumption that it
would be possible to convince Mr.. Bryan
that stronger man could be named. The
possibility of such a contingency did not
occur to him at the time of the meeting
Of the Chicago convention last year, nor
Immediately prior to the assembling of
that convention. There is no evidence
that the Nebraskan has come to think less
of himself since that time. Indeed, the
presumption is warranted that Mr.. Bryan
deems the preservation of his own life
and leadership essential to the cause of
''bimetallism." The Yankton paper, how
ever, proceeds to say:
1t is we'll known that Senator Henry NJ
Teller. of Colorado. has been for many years
prominent in the public mind as a suitable
man for President, and without disparaging
in the slightest the qualifications Of Mr..
Bryan. 1t can be honestly claimed that no
statesman OF the present day In the United
States possesses to greater extent the con-
fidence and esteem of the American people
than Mr.. Teller. He possesses the advantage
Of quarter of century or more of expert
ence in public position, an experience that
has admirably equipped him to discharge
the duties devolving upon the chief magis-
trate Of this republic; and we have no doubt
known he would be found quite favorable to
the candidacy Of the Colorado gentleman.
There is growing conviction that with Mr..
Teller as the candidate. success would be
assured. and this conviction has come about
because of no loss Of confidence In Mr.. Bry-
an or lessening Of the esteem In which he Is
held by those who supported him In the last
campaign.

The Passing Of Bryan.

Signs multiply that the schism in the
marty which marched under the name of
Democracy until the revolutionists tri-
umphed in 1896 is growing wider and
deeper. The average Popocrat hates the
Democraf more heartily than he hates
the Republican. The average Democrat
saes far more to condemn in the Chicago
r,l.tfor,n than in the st. Louis platform.
