Bryan,s .Jubilant shout.

The danger to which the treachery of
posing the country was well illustrated
in the speeches at the Chicago jackson
Day dinner on Saturday. There, William
j. Bryan and other orators Of the silver
ACCOMPLISHMENTS gang lifted their
voices in triumphant confidence, and pro-
claimed the victory of their ideas in the
| Congressional election this fall.
President Mckinley was elected on the
| distinct understanding that his success
was to be the deathblow to silver, that
| the currency would be reformed, that a
| tariff far more moderate than the McKin-
ley one would be passed at leisure, and
that the business interests of he coun-
try would be let alone, so that they
might get on their feet and start growing
in a natural way.
Every one of these pledges has been
President Mckinley, who is and always
has been a silver man, began talking in
ternational bimetallism, and as soon as
he could he appointed a bimetallic COM
| mission.
No sooner was he inaugurated than he
| convened Congress in extraordinary ses-
| sion, not to correct the evils of our paper
| currency system, but to pass a tariff the
| monstrosity of which is uncomfortable.
AS a result of these breaches of faith,
and in spite of other conditions of UNI
paralleled beneficence, the business of the
| COUNTRY has been only moderately expan-
| sive. labor troubles have arisen. cuts IN
wage are apparently to be the rule of
the opening year-and the Federal Treas
ury is rapidly being bankrupted.
Is it any wonder that, under such con-
| ditions, Bryan and his faction should see
their coming opportunity and raise their
voices in an a~nticipatory shout of jubila-
! ton? In the course of his speech he used
this notable expression
Read the daily newspaper and you will
find the items of news arrange under TWO
| heads-the formation of trusts and the
| reduction Of wages.
This is the danger. It is not in silver
alone. The Bryanite platform was at least
as dangerous in it's anarchistic doctrines
as it was in it's advocacy of the debased
| coinage. 1t is in its anarchistic tenden-
cies that the popocratic faction will find
its strength. and that strength will be
| based upon the s~elf-evident hostility of
Mckinley Republicanisn to the interests
of the people.
THIS appeared in the Evening POST of
last Friday
| CHICAGO, January THE annual
| shows their sales for 1897 Were s12l.593,-
$40, an increase of II per cent. over 1886.
| Their shipments were 9T,525 car loads, Or
25.4 per cent more than in 1896 A quar-
terIy dividend of IL per cent. has been
declared on SIS, co., coo capital.
George r. Swift came to Chicago from
worcester, Mass, about twenty years
ago. and has built up the business from
d small beginning equal to that of Armour

Jersey City has a chance of getting a
share of this wealth, but the Evening
