BRYAN LOSING SUPPORT.
Democrats Are Coming tn the Con-
cIusfon That the Cheap Money
Moses Won't DO.

\ good many democrats, now that
they fully comprehend the import or
the recent elections, are disposed
to express grave doubts regarding the
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. Among others
the two senators from Virginia are
reported as adverse to the denomination
of Mr.. Bryan because he would be
doomed to defeat at the outset. lhere
has been no more strenuous advocate
Of sixteen to one than Senator Daniel,
of that state. These democrats VINO
are saving since the election that "Bry-
an will not do''-and there are many
such-are not fair TO the travelling cam
didate for the presidency. They were
entirely willing that Mr.. Bryan should
make an experiment with noneNpanslon
or anti-imperialism or militarism as an
issue. Some weeks before the election
there was Il conference in Chicago or
those opposed to the presidents Phil
ippine policy. The men Of national req
utation, chiefly independents, who op'
posed Mr.. Bryan in 1896 were reported
to be either present or consenting to
the action that should be taken These
men then declared that the silver ques-
tion should not stand as a buffer be-
tween Mckinley and his Philippine poll
icy, as he expansion policy of the pres
ident was infinitely more dangerous TO
the liberties of the people than the
free coinage of silver. Mr.. Carl Schur4
was very vehement in this sort OF dec
laration. Some of them declared that
they would support Mr.. Bryan as
against the war policy of the president.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican de-
clarcd that each word Of Mr.. Schurz' S
speeches was worth a thousand votes
| against the policy of expansion. In
short, all the sympathizers with AguI-
naldo did whatever they could to in
duce Mr.. Bryan to champion the cause
! of Agunaldo in some form. lie ac-
| cepted the suggestions and advice OF
| these men. He wabbled about eXpan-
! sion and the declaration of independ-
ence, and finally came out strong
against imperialism, and particularly
against miiitarism.
| In the late elections. except Nebraska,
| the country declared for the presidents
| policy where it had been made an issue.
! Most of those who encouraged Mr..
| Bryan to assail the presidents policy
now admit that any phase of the ques-
ton of expansion will not do in 1900
unless the president shall make some
blunder. Nor do they stop there; they
turn upon Mr.. Bryan and say that they
viii be sure to be defeated in 1900 with
! his sixteen to one and his additional
! blunder of militarism. This sort of de-
sertion is simply contemplate. - In

PLAIN VERDICT OF OHIO.
a Positive InG0rscment of the Prest-
dents Policy in the Philip
nine Matter.

There is attempt to cheaper the re-
publican victory in Ohio and 10 argue
that it should not be regarded as an in
dorSemcut of President Mckinlcy's
policy Of maintaining American rights
in the Philippines. The position thus
advanced is not tenable. Ohio's express
sion is in essence formal and un-
equivocal approval of the administra-
tion's course throughout.
The result in Ohio means that what
ever there may be of differences of
opinion as to the future disposition of
the islands; whatever form of govern
ment congress may, in its wisdom, con-
clude to establish there, the president
is upheld by the American people, is
supported by the republican party in
the able and patriotic manner in which
he has discharged this duty thrust upon
him by the fortunes of war, waged in
the cause of humanity and the estab-
lishment of civil liberty on the ruins of
an overthrown oppression.
This was made a leading issue of the
campaign by unfair and unreasonable
attacks on the part of the opposition.
1t was accepted by the republicans,
without evasion or apology. The Com
mercial Tribune, in advocacy of the
election of Judge Nash and the repuD-
lican state ticket, declared specifically
and reiterated At lengsa that a pro-
nounced victory for the ticket must be
regarded as positive Endorsement of the
administration resistance of insurrec-
tion and protection of all legitimate in
terests in the territory that, by Dewey's
victory, became our ward of war.
That which belongs to the future is
of right left to future arbitrament, but
that suppression of insurrcction is a
duty of the present that may not be
shiried or slighted is not TO be gain
said. This is one of the significant SEN
timents voiced by the people at the polls
in Ohio. and the Commercial Tribune is
in hearty accord with this sentiment,
having urged it as vital that this in
dorsement be given by Ohio to the pol
icy of her distinguished son-the head
of the national administ tration.-CiI-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

Making Money Fly.

Hon. Carroll d. Wright's new book,
Outlines of Sociology contains this
passage: "a poor man may make
criminal use of wealth as well as the
ich. He may use it in the purchase
of those things that perish with the
use and that result in no good to him
self or his family. He may spend it in
some form of riotous living, or in the
insane attempt to keep up appearances
which are not legitimate" This ought
to be profitable reading for several mil
lions of people, says the Youths Com
panion; indeed, for that vast majority
who are living on small incomes and
who never think of themselves as
"poor." The rich are few; they have
no monopoly of moral responsibility,
either for getting or for using. The
man who has but a dollar is wealthy"
TO that extent, and he is under the
same law with him who has n million,
But why talk of criminal uses OF
wealth." Because one may be quite
as selfish and dishonest in wrongfully
using as in wrongfully getting. Hus-
bands and wives may really steal from
each other and from the household in
order to spend on personal gratitica.
tions. The man will have his beer and
tobacco, and the woman her gewgaws
and fripperies, even if house and chill
dren are robbed of things necessary
to their welfare. Why not call ii a
breach of trust? But the waste of
means, on the part of those who can
least afford it, often results from mere
ight-mindedness. Not a few people
ought to appreciate the feeling of the
colored sister who had come into pos
session of very small fortune. She
r,ranned avvas' 20 tha village store, with
the coins burning in her palm, anu

THE FRANKLIN SYNDICATE.
4 Temporary Receiver il Appointed
to Take Charge of Its AHairs-Milier
and Leslie Elude the Police.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Hubert &. Icy
lor a lawyer, was yesterday appointed
temporary receiver for the defunct
Franklin syndicate bank by Justice
Smith, of the supreme court. The
application was made by w. o. ln~ijS,
who stated that he held T. shares in
the company. According TO Inglis the
Iiabil lies exceed S20O.O0O. the only
assets being about $1,000 cash in the
hands of the police. Taylor was re-
uuired to furnish a bond Of $4,000.
Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn. has
received an order from the postmaster
general directing him to return, so far
as possible, to the senders all letters
addressed to the syndicate. About
1.50O pieces Of mail, including over
S12, 900 worth of money orders, have
accumulated since Saturday.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the syndicate were instituted
in the United States court yesterday
before Judge Thomas by attorneys
representing depOsitors whose claims
aggregate over $50 600 These bank
ruptcy proceedings, it is said, will take
procedure over all other claims filed
against the syndicate.
New York, Nov. 3O.-The Kings
county grand jury in a presentment to
the criminal court has censured the
Brooklyn police for what it terms it's
laxity in allowing W. f. Miller and
Cecil Leslie, of the defunct Franklin
syndicate, to escape. The jury holds
that these men could easily have been
arrested after their indictment had the

WAGES ON THE INCREASE.
Ben neHcent Effects Of the Wise Sys-
tenn Which Protects Amer
lean WorkInRmen-

A very convincing proof of the pros
perity of the United States is the in
crease in wage-earning capacity that
has come with the return of good
times" In fact, there would be no real
prosperity unless this result followed,
for a gain in the volume of business and
vast industrial expansion unaccom-
panied by larger employment and bet
ter pav for labor would be an impos-
sibility.
The Protectionist, which makes a
careful study of industrial statistics, es-
Inmates on the best authority obtain
able and from the most reliable re-
turns in reply to inquiries covering the
whole country that the aggregate in
crease in the wage-earning power of
workingmen during the present year
has been $15O,00O,OOO. That is, since the
beginningof 1899, through the revival of
commercial activity, the wage earners
have received that much more than
they did in 1898.
Last year was fairly prosperous
one, as conditions improved rapidly in
1897 and 1S9S. 1t is not possible to give
American labor. skilled and unslilled,
in either year. But it is certainly safe
to assume that the earnings were not
less than in 1890, when the last census
was taken. The official report placed
the wages paid in 1890 at So, 2,2S3 .21G,529.
The addition of $50 100000 to that sum
would bring the total up TO 50, ,433 ,216.-
500. The bulk of this amount. of course,
goes for living expenses, and that is
| what keeps the wheels of trade turning
merrily in countless directions. But a
goodly proportion of the wages earned
passes into the savings banks. And up
on this subject the New York CONNER
ciaI has a few sensible words to say:
1t is a concrete fact like this (the show
ing of $50 OOC0, 0C0 increase in wages against
| which school men and theorists have to
| contend when they set forth the ad-
Vantagcs of low prices and a low cost of
| living, with their inevitable attendant low
| wages. That community is always most
! prosperous in which high wages prevail
| for everything, including the value set
| upon Drawn, as well as the cost Of bread.
! 1t is contended by some badly Informed
| persons that the majority of artisans dis
| sipate whatever surplus wage they receive
in riotous living. And the point is made
! that the greater the surplus the more
| mischief it is likely to work. That is al
| wrong. The increasing number of small
| depoSitors in savings banks and other in
| stitutions gives the lie to any slander upon
| the moral character of wage earnerS as q
| class Wendell Phillips once said: The
handspring Of our progress is high wages
| wages at such a level that the working.
| man can spare his wife TO preside over q

A GAIN OF sIo2, ,ooo,Coo.
1t is shown In the Receipts of Internal
Revenue During the Past Year.

Washington, Nov. 29.-CommissioneI
George w. Wilson, of the internal rev
enue bureau, in his report to the secre-
tary of the treasury of the operations
of his office for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1899, shows that the receipts
from all sources aggregated S273, 4S4,'
573, an increase over the previous year
of Sl02, 617 600 and an increase of S3,-
asa, ,573 over the estimate of the COM
missioner made one year ago.
Figures are presented showing that
the receipts for the first four months
of the current year amounted to SlO3,-
3,4S5, an increase over the receipts
for the corresponding period last year
of S9,37S, 3O7. While il may be pOssi-
BILE, the commissioner says, that this
large ratio of increase will be main
tanned during the current year, he is
of the opinion that it would not be
wise to anticipate such a result. All
things considered the commissioner es-
Inmates that the receipts from all
sources for the present year will APP
proximate $3.50. 600, 200, which is about
S11, 800, 600 in excess of the receipts for
the year closed June 80, 1899.
During the last year officers of the
internal revenue seized 2,190 illicit
stills, and in the discharge of their
duty one officer was killed and three
wounded. Seven hundred and eleven
persons were arrested in connection
with Illicit distilling, which is on the
increase in certain sections OF the
country.
The commissioner recon III n s
amendments to the war revenue act
providing that estates in this country
of persons residing abroad at the time
of their death shall be taxed the same
as the estates of persons residing in
this country. Several other amend
ments to the law regarding the tax on
lcgacies are suggested.
In order to afford better facilities
for the general distribution of docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps, it is
recommended that purchasers of such
stamps be allowed discount of not
less than 2 per cent. when purchasing
in quantities of not less than 500. 1t
is also recommended that agricultural
fairs be exempt from payment of reve-
nue. tax.

evident the section of the building
where the fire started was doomed.
The firm carried stock worth at
least $500. 600. which was well insured.
