BACK DOWN OF BRYAN.
Anything "a VIA IL the Motto of the
Mesaphonic MOuther of the
Mnlcontents.

In his speech at Des Moines, befor,
the democratic county chairmen Of
Iowa, William Jennings Bryan indi
Gated that he is preparing TO do that
which he has always insisted that the
democracy must not do-place the sill.
YER issue in the background.
His utterances were made with great
err caution than were those of Mr. Crok-
err, in which that gentleman made
known his change of convictions. Mr..
Bryan made known his willingness that
the silver issue should be shelved in
such "a way that it did not obtrude it.
self ut once upon the understanding,
but gradually dawned upon it. First he
said that the Chicago platform was
built for all time. That was, or seemed
to be, quite in accordance with what he
had always asserted. I'VE need not re-
pudate syllable nor idea of it," he
said next. Here the first symptom of
weakening appeared. Heretofore he had
always said: I'VE must not repudiate,"
etc. Then he ventured n little farther
out upon the new ground. by saying:
But when new and important issues
arise we can take them into the family
and make the campaign upon them
without apologizing for any past
fight"
Heretofore Mr.. Bryan had steadfast-
ly held to the declaration that no other
issue could possibly take natural prece-
dence of the silver question, and he had
persistently asserted that no other must
be permitted TO take precedence.
Having carefully and cautiously pre-
pared the minds of his hearers for the
of his complete change
of conviction, Mr.. Bryan said: I'VE lost
the last campaign because we lacked
the foreign vote. They did not under
stand the silver issue. But they will

COIN HARVEY LEFT OUT.
The silver school Pedagogue OF 1900
Is Not In IL for
1000.

Prior to the formal opening of the
presidential campaign of 1896 it was
generally agreed among political OBJ
servers that Coins Financial School"
u volume of which w. ii. Harvey was
the author, would certainly be the text
book of the democrats if Bland, Bryan
or Tillman were nominated at Chicago.
Coin was n manor, more properly
speaking, boy, adolescent in years and
juvenile i'm arguments--who had con-
stituted himself the voluble pioneer of
new system of finance. Its full bene-
fits were to be attained by statutory
provisions to be adopted by congress,
whereby one dollar would be made
worth 80 cents and so cents would have
the purchasing power of dollar. The
feasibility of this plan was disclosed in
a series of fictitious lectures given by
prof Coin" Il young financier living
i'm Chicago" to various bankers, manu-
facturers and business men, one of
whom was Mr.. Lyman j. Gage, now the
secretary of the treasury. Coins text
book of free silver ut the ratio of six
teen to one was embellished with illus
trations. one of which depicted the
financial magnates of the United States
as having wheels in their heads. This
is sample of Coins argument:
"Mr. e. II. Wheeler wanted to know of
Prof. Coin If he did not believe it would adj
vance prices If the government was to issue
$500 100000 in greenbacks?
NO. replied Coin. 1T would break down
the present tottering financial system soon
er. The remedy to restore prices is to re-
monetize silver and then issue more green
backs! BY putting silver back in the col.
umn of redemption money. we would in
crease 1t from its present volume OF $780,
100000 to 81, 200 000, 900. This would warrant
81, POO, 900 of credit money and would give
us 81, 400 100000 on a sound financial footing,
or about $34 a head
"As Coin made this last statement, he laid

understand what standing army
means. They know what expansion and
imperialism mean, and will vote against
them. They will understand these
things better than the native Americans
themselves, and on such issues we can
win"
ION such issues we can win" natu-
rally implies its collary: ION the sill
yer issue we cannot win
1t is not necessary at this time to
discuss the question of the accuracy of
Mr.. Bryan's assertion that he was de-
feated in 1896 because he lacked what
he calls 'the foreign vote But few
words may be given TO refutation, on
behalf Of naturalized American citizens,
of Mr.. Bryan's assertion that they are
less loyal to the government to which
they have chosen to give their allegi-
ance than are the citizens who were
born under the American flag. There
is absolutely no justification for that
assertion. On the contrary, all evil
dences before the people disprove it.
We have no statistics at hand to prove
it, but we assert with perfect conf
dence that investigation of the facts
will bear us out, that in the army of
the United States the percentage of
naturalized citizens is approximately
as large as it is in the whole popula-
ton. If Mr.. Bryan really believes that
he can brighten naturalized Americans
with bugaboos of militarism and i'm
periaiism, he will discover his error.
But the question naturally arises
whether Mr.. Bryan really means what
he says, or whether he has taken his
cue from Richard Croker and is talking
to deceive the sound money democrats,
Just as Mr.. Croker has been talking to
deceive the silverites.
However that may be. it Is certain
that Mr.. Bryan has weakened himself
by his utterances at Des Moines. lie
leaped into prominence on the platform
of 1896 whose chief plank is that of free
| coinage. He made a phenomenal run
on that platform, in view of all the cir
cumstances. His strength was in close
adherence to the issue on which he
made his fight in the last campaign.
| They that have been his faithful follow
ers gave him their answering allegi'
ance because he was the champion OF
free coinage. When he ceases to be that
champion he ceases to be the logical
candidate of the democracy. Upon the
| emergency issues which have been
framed to meet the demand within the
party for something to take the place
of the silver issue, any other democrat
who is otherwise qualified for the can
didacy can run as well as Mr.. Bryan
| or better than he.-Albany Journal.

proves the falsity of this statement

The Theatre from the Inside.

That there are five thousand thea
tres in America, and that one mil
lion and half people attend them
each weekday night, spending sew
enty millions of dollars a year on
theatre-going, are the surprising
facts with which Mr.. Franklin
Fyles, the dramatic editor of the
New York Sun, will open an i'm
portant series in the next issue of
The Ladies' Home Journal. The
series will be called 'FThe Theatre
and its People," and will run
through seven numbers of the
magazine, lavishly illustrated with
pictures made by twelve different
artists. The articles will treat of
every phase of the theatre, the
play and the actor, from the inside,
and will tell how the theatre is
managed; the actual money which
plays have made; how an actor is
trained and what the actors are
actually paid; how play is written
and what the authors receive; how
a play is rehearsed; the first night
of a play; how the actresses snake
up" and what they use; and in a
minute way the two last articles
will show what goes on behind the
scenes on the stage during a per-
Torrance. 1t is a curious fact that
this will be the first time that the
theatre and the actor have ever
been exhaustively treated in mag
azine, and that there is no book on
the subject in existence.
