there must NC ssari'y be some who will
accumulate large riches.
How are we to determine whether a
mn is a plutocrat? What must be the
q mount of his holdings to fix him with
lat class? Must he be possessed of mil
Ii ms, hundreds of thousands or merely
thousands of dollars? The property hold
ers of the country constitute its wealth,
I'd any man who holds surplus is
arichman. 1t is the contention of the
Southern Democracy that the property
holders, the men of wealth, should abso-
lutely control our local affairs and
for the selection of our representatives in
Congress as we'll as for President. Move
ments have been carried out in several of
the Southern States, and similar ones are
now being pressed in others, for the re-
striction of suffrage by attaching a property
qualification to voting. Is not Southern
Democracy insincere when it denounces
government by wealth and at the same
time is working to take the right of suff-
rage from every poor man in the South ?
Are>pot Bryan, Jones, Teller, Altgeld and
many Other associates insincere in their
criticisms Of rich men, when they seem to
be bending all their energies to accumu'
lating the very thing they denounce,
wealth? Who has accumulated more
rapidly in this country than Mr.. Bryan ?
Look at the amount of taxes he paid IN
1898, $500, and the amount he paid in
sos, over $4,000 If he keeps on in
creasing his wealth for the next ten years
as he has for the past three he will soon
he one of the plutocrats Has he robbed
the poor to get his hundred thousands dol
lars or more? If he has done any work
since his defeat for the Presidency, except
while in the army, there has been no pub
lie mention oft Mr.. Bryan ought to go
to work to make his living by some known
occupation, land cease to accumulate wealth
by delivering political lectures, if he wants
toplace his sincerity above suspicion.

The Wage Scale.
Richmond Times. I

Richmond Times.
1t is announced that the Reading Rail-
way Company, of Pennsylvania has adj
vanced the wages of lis skilled laborers
from 5 to 10 per cent.
1t is also announced that the National
Carbon Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, has
raised the wages of four hundred men
employed in its plant in that city, the ad-
vance ranging from to Is per cent.
The good work goes on. There is a
market value for labor, regulated by the
law of supply and demand, and all in
dustries must pay the market price,
neither more nor less. Within the past
two months the scale of wages has been
raised, and unless there shall be some
unforeseen disaster wages i'll all parts of the
country will be lifted to that level.
In the meantime the cost of production
is being cheapened, and it seems to US
that the laboring man for the next sew
eral years will be in position to realize
more from his labor than ever before in
the history of the world.
This is genuine prosperity. The geat
wealth of this country is in its laboring
men. When they are prosperous the
country is prosperous; when they are
needy then we have hard times in every
department of trade and industry.

Deafness Cannot Ce Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remed Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of the

When this tube gets inhamed you have a
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor.

forever; nine cases out of ten are caused

And the Negro Was There Also.

Richmond Times.
Everybody nowadays quotes
"Black spirits and Shite, blue spirits and
gray.
Mingle, mingle, mingle,'
when you wish to describe piebald as
semLIy of nondescripts, but trite as the
quotation is, it may well be brought into
service to describe the crowd that attend
ed Mr.. William J. Bryan's dollar dinner"
in New York last Saturday evening. There
were white men and white women, negro
men and negro women, Chinese and Jap
anese, and all mingled together and h'ls-
tied each other with the familiarity Of
stevedores at a clambake. That surely
was n scene for Ate to look down on with
entire satisfaction, for greater confusion,
turmoil and disorder could not be present
ed by any gathering whatever And yet
it was the natural and logical outcome of
Mr.. Bryan's definition Of the New Democ-
racv. He tells us Chicago platform De-
mocracy means war upon plutocracy, and
that those who cannot join in that crusade
have no place in the Democratic party.
No man, therefore, who owns anything or
who hopes to own anything is going to re-
m lin in Mr.. Bryan's party, because as the
war is upon our property owners, it is only
a question of time when Democracys bat
talions will open their fire upon him,
though his holdings afford him modest
support only. Revolutions never move
backward, and if property are to
be society's enemies the war is never end
ed while one property-owner remains.
Mr.. Bryan's dollar dinner was bound,
therefore, TO be strongly tinctured, if not
dominated, by the sans,culotte element,
and he is bound sooner or later, to find
himself at the head Of the sans-culotte ele-
ment pure and simple. 1t has been the
case with all such movements in the past,
and it must be the case in all such move
ments in the future.
But an interesting question for Southern
men and women is what about those negro
men and women who attended this unique
banquet as welcome guests? Is that, also,
to be part of Chicago platform Democ-
racy? MIR. Bryan says he is fighting the
battle of "the man and the brother - and
his conception of his part seems to include
the negro as one of "the brothers whose
battle he is to fight. This, also, Is logical
and natural. The man who starts out
with the proposition that there is no dis
tinction amongst men, but that the laws
must compel all to bring what they have
into common hotchpot for common di-
vision, is forced to include the negro by
the very nature of the case. MIR. Bryan
has, therefore, tied himself to the negro
by his dinner, and it was inevitable that
he should do so from the beginning.
But will Southern Democrats continue
to follow the lead of statesman who is
delighted to sit down at dinners with ne
gro men and negro women? What does
that mean for Southern society? Are we
to hear that Democracy means social
equality forced by law upon the people of
the South? Truly it is not alone strange
bedfellows that are made by politics.
They develop some strange and curious
phrases of life and customs just as well.

SENATOR Quay, Of Pennsylvania, on the
21st inst. was declared by jury Of his
country "not guilty. of the charge of con-
spring to use for his own unlawful gain
and profit the funds of the State of PENN
sylvania deposited in the Peoples Bank
of Philadelphia. We are glad this serious
charge against United States Senator
has been proven false. We have not been
friendly to Mr.. Quay's conduct of the Re-
publican party of his state, but are none
the less gratifed that bis connection with
the affairs of the bank in question was not
of criminal character. The prosecution
of MIR. Quay has been very earnest, and,
therefore, the public will be forced to be-
lieve he was not a guilty man, or his ac-
quittal would not have been secured.

Facts That Confound Democrats.

These are the days that try the souls of
the doomed Bryanite party. The weekly
capacity of theIfurnaces in blast through
out the United States at the first of the
present month was 245, 746 tons. 1t was
liz, 7S2 tons at the date when the Bryan
lite reign of terror was at its acute stage.
Iron production, which has always been
considered trustworthy barometer of the
condition of general trade, is more than
double at the present moment what it was
at the time when there was some fear
throughout the country that Bryan, after
all, might be elected in the canvass few
weeks later The bank clearances of the
country, which are, of course, a faithful
reflection of the business situation, are al
most double also what they were in the
Summer and early Fall of 1896. Here
are some of the facts which will assail the
Democratic party when it begins to appeal
to the people in 1900 to put the control of
the Government and the interests of the
country in its hands.

WHO ARE PLUTOCRATS

The Bryan organization claims that its
chief aim is the overthrow of what it de-
nounces as plutocracy. MIR. Bryan in a
recent speech declared that his fight was
against the rich who rob the poor, and in
timated that every man who acquires
wealth in this country does it by cheating
the poor. Such an intimation is not only
demagogical but untruthful. This is a
country in which splendid opportunities
are at hand for every man of push, intelli-
pence and character to acquire wealth.
The road is as open to the boy who is born
in a cabin as the one who is reared in a
mansion. 1t is remarkable fact that the
most men who do acquire wealth IN the
limited States are of humble origin and
have been the architects of their own
fortunes. 1t is also true that those who
are bitterest 10 their criticisms OF the rich
men are themselves eager to secure wealth,
and are disappointed because they have
failed to do so. The leading idea in the
American mind is the acquisition of prop
ertv. 1t is national idea, and is the
secret of the marvellous prosperity that
has attended our history as people. We
may very correctly be called nation of
plutocrats, because there is no nation
where the wealth is so generally and
,yen'y distributed. Where the people are
lGicerallv so well to do. it follows that

SINCE the different kinds of races and
shades of politics that were found at the
several Jefersonian banquets attended by
Mr.. Bryan, there will have to be new
definition prepared for Democracy. Who

The Duty Required Of the United States
Dallas News lind. Dem.l

Dallas News lind. Dem.l
In pursuing duty the time has come
when the United States must definitely
take its place in "the parliament of man,
the federation Of the world" and the re-
suit of refusal would be fatal to national
progress. When we are children we think
as children; when we are men we put
aside childish things. The United States
has reached maturity; it cannot escape its
share of the worlds burdens with credit to
itself. 1t cannot put aside this burden
without grave danger to itself and the
most serious danger to those whom it, in
the present instance, has decided to help.
In the end the blessings Will surely out
weigh all the losses Of treasure and Of life
on both sides, and the work of justice and
civilization will 60 bravely on.

that it is said that many of them are

Land will vote the Republican ticket next
