SIGNS OF THE TIMES.


Though Andrew Carnegie did not say,
as reported. that Mr.. Bryan was the
only man who could save the country
he did have a conference with the Ne
braska statesman, and they are In &C
cord in opposing imperial expansion
and milltarlsm. Mr.. Carnegie also, no
doubt, breads other results of the late
war, which has changed affairs radi-
cally, since 1885, and as Senator Hoar
, says. threatened the existence of the
republic, Whose extinction, IL not pre-
vented by union of all conservative.
constitutional elements, will date from
the Presidency of William Mckinley"
Mr.. Carnegie therefore is one of the
most vigorous opponents of "eNpan-
sion," imperialism and "militarism."
He sees that the Mckinley program, II
successful will pervert republican gov
eminent and reduce the masses to the
worst European conditions. He repcls
the statement of General Merritt that
we have outgrown the constitution"
FOR. IL that were true, We would have
also outgrown the republic Of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Jackson.
We can understand why army and
navy officers. to q considerable degree,
prefer empire and militarism. but what
might be sellshly advantageous to
them, as an aristocratic class. is fatal
to the common people. Mr.. Carnegie
has read history to some purpose and
is philosopher as we'll as n piutocrat
He sees that We are, as Il nation. men,
aced with the same conditions that
produced Caesarism in ancient Rome
and that. eventually, we will drift into
the conditions that evoked the French
revolution in the last century. Ho re-
members that the men who absorbed
the wealth of the country. in France

their fortunes but their heads. Being
a. patriot he would preserve the be-
nirn spirit OF true republican liberty
Being wise and naturally prudent
man. he would avert the menace to his
wealth end life. rs q representative OF
the capitnlistic Industrial class So he
may probably prefer Bryan, even with
free coinage. as the savior of the re-
public. to Mckinley. with gold. rs It's
destroyer. And VIC have reason to think
thst many thousands of gold Demo-
Gratis are of the same way of thinking
Mt this time. They will subordinate
their opinions on the currency and re-
join their party, rather than help Nc
lfinley and his followers to establish
imperialism and militarism.

rhe party but has the full privilege of
expressing his opinions and preferences
as to men and measures. Yet it is no
less the duty of every faithful Demo-

that all power is vested in. and con-
sequently derived from. the people!
that magistrates are their trustees ard

THE BURNT CHILD BREADS FIRE

THE yIRGINIAN-PILOT under
stands and appreciates elasticity In
money and currency; but it does not
der our national purse-strings to tffase
who seem to think themselves the only
sources of elasticity, and who very ma
turally (taving n private cinch and
monopoly upon iD may employ this
elasticity to serve their purposes, ra-
Their than the public good and the gen
era1 welfare. 1t largely depends how
the elasticity is worked, and this,
again, depends on who works it, and
those who are SO we'll known as adopts
and addicts to the contraction of elias
ITCHY, can hardly be trusted with the
whole control of elasticity and hope for
any expansion without paying dearly
for it.
1t is q mistake. however, that the
people and the government cannot Sc
cure and operate a monetary elastici-
ty of their own, easily perfectly and
economically. THE VIRGINIAN-P1-
LOT has proposed several methods, as
others have other methods, that needs
no Intermediates, either TO employ on
fat commissions, or heavy rentals, In
either case to come out of the people.
y Treasury issue of revenue bills, n
legal-tender for nothing but all dues
due the government. and redeemable
in nothing else, will serve the purpose
admirably, under proper system; and
the issue of Treasury notes, similar TO
bank-notes, to be issued to anybody
who deposits u. S. bonds, to the full
value of the bonds, and at any time
redeemable in the same or similar
bonds.-which will be as effective and
more reliable than the surrender of the
currency to any association (bankins
or otherwise), combine, clearing trust,
or other syndicate.
There are various other ways-any
and all better than the so-calied ere,
form" proposed by the NIcCleary bill.
which is but a device to cause us to
jump out of the frying pan into the
flre-and to subject Ills all to a monop
oily control, trust, or combine, that has
caused the present contraction.

excesses; but 1t was good deliver
ance.
That was sporadic case or the ep-
idemic that has now spread oyer the
whole country. The diagnosis is the
same in every particular. from the
greatest to the least. or course. It is
more difficult to deal with than when
1t was confined to a single city, isola-
ted. as it were, on the Pacific coast;
but difficulty arouses and inspires men.
and heaven allows no exigency to come
upon mankind that men are not raised
up equal to the occasion.
And in that we trust. II Bryan be
not the man for the hour himself. he
is the fore-runner of that man. The
Philistines are upon US! To your tents.

laugh. when their calamity cometh and
destroyeth our enemies.

Gen. Brooke. Governor of Cuba, is
highly praised by the organs of the
'blood-money" conspiracy to steal Gu
la from the Cubans, after the United
States, in the name of the Cubans, hu-
mainly and free-self- government, has
wrested the island from Spain. Gen.
Brooke has inaugurated his reign by
despotic, cruel and unnatural edicts
against the Cubans. and hence this
praise of the General from these evil
sources. 1t is much to the discredit of
Gen. Brooke that he is so lauded.

PROSPERITY HAS NOT COME.

mo country can nave real prosperity
when its agriculture is suffering and
depressed. That prosperity which is
special limited. benefiting the few to
the exclusion of the many. is not for
the general welfare, and is not the real
prosperity, which makes a people, or
prosperity which only makes the rich
richer. multiplying millionaires and
their millions. is too often, If not al
ways, the calamity of the people, maxi
ing them poorer, degrading the nation,
and menacing the peace of all its popu-
lation. The pauperization of the masses
and the unlimited enrichment of
luxurious few, means the ruin of this
Republic.
Now. at this moment, when so much
is said of our coming prosperity, many
n poor farmer in Virginia is Offering
his corn at 81 barrel, or 20 cents a
bushel and can find no purchaser even
at that! He sacrifices his corn (Which
cost him more than that to produce)
because he needs the money to pay his
taxes now due, or to pay some urgent

sale of his household goods. Is he
prosperous? Is anybody prosperous
where corn can be offered at that In
Virginia. and find no buyers, even for
speculation? No. no! There is no other
explanation than that there is n woful
lack of money in the land. The people
are forced to let their houses and out

as the people do in the midst OF famine,
although nature has given us most
bounteous crops.

matter: not the scarcity of money. I
have money to lend. but there are no
borrowers. Nobody needs money,

men, women and children are suffering
