Who Are the Wanderers?

The JOURNAL has made some answer
elsewhere to an inquiry by Philips
Boy" rejecting upon the sincerity of the
gold democrat who will vote for BRYAN
for any reason.
The groundwork of such questions is
it is the gold democrats who have left
the party, not the Bryanites.
Let us see about this.
As late as 1895 the Nebraska State
democratic convention
ReSolced, That free coinage of silver at IL to
meals poorer money and less of it it
means less wages for the laboring man and
less actual money for the business man. 1t
means bankruptcy for all save the mine
owner.
In 1896, however, many of the demo-
Gratis who adopted the resolution quoted
"b0ndoncd it i'll less than year,
This was done i'll other States than
Bryans-in Maryland probably worse
than all Here they stultified them
selves i'll less than two months.
The gold democrats meanwhile re-
manned unmoved.
Yet the Bryanites have the face to al
lege that those went astray who staid at
home!
But the JOURNALS purpose was to ask
"Philip's Boy'-if free coinage meant
bankruptcy to Mr.. Bryan in Nebraska
i'll 1898, why does it not mean the same
thing now:
The JOURNAL asks the boy" this be-
cause he (the Boy thinks he can pro
pound hard questions, and because it is
one thing to ask questions based on
fallacy, another to answer them when
based on facts.

An Alternative.

The long fight which Cumberland has
made against the pollution of the Potomac
river, from which the Cumberland water is
drawn, by the chemical refuse of the paper
mills at Luke, has at last come to an end.
The mills have abandoned the sulphite pro-
cess of making paper, and III the future will be
operated in such a way as not to destroy the
purity and quality of the water that the pep
pie are required to se-Batimore Ne"S.
That is all very well so far as it goes
But
The pollution of the Potomac is still prob
lem that confronts the people of Washing
ton. The success of Cumberland III its move
mcnt against the source Of pollution on the
upper river has inspired renewed efforts at
Washington, and determined action is to be
taken to have Congress take the matter in
hand.
The Nr~S should have stated ''the
source Of pollution on the upper river
against which Congress will proceed.
Is there one above Cumberland that
affects Washington and not Cumber-
land?
In short, is there one more pronounced
than is the town of Cumberland itself?
And will Washington, with "even-
handed justice, commend" to Cumber-
lands own clips the ingredients of her
poisoned chalice ?"
Congress cannot remedy the trouble
without declaring that delta towns have
rights paramount to those of all other
towns on rivers, and repeating all laws
that encourage and protect manufacture
ing industries.

Elect at the Primaries.

Wisconsin republicans have adopted IA

That is plank that should be adopted

me "W Of Nh" p"op'" is n"r"r represented.
1t is bargain, trade, sell-out.

BreVitieS.

1t is not generally known that ii law
prohibiting the use of soft coal in schools
was enacted by the last Legislature.
Exceptions are made of "bituminous
lump" and of heating by means other
than of stoves i'll the school rooms. If
literally observed, the law will shut up
some Allegany schools during the winter,
and as only town and city schools can
afford steam, there will I've some more
money for city teachers salaries.
The Cumberland Times. now trying to
carry the school business on one shoulder,
Bryanism on the other, speaks of "com-

sort of imperialism prevailing the jour

Answer.

If the silver doctrine TiUbe dishonest why
isn't it dishonest now if the 10 to ratio
miH be wrong, why isn't it wrong now; why
should trust have control of the silver ;
why should not all have equal rights with
few? These are questions an ardent Bryan
man of 1896 wants to know. Who will an
swer ?-Ihjlip's Boy.
The JOURNAL will.
In the first place, the government
holds the only silver that enjoys the
privilege of free coinage.
The amount is limited.
In the second, the government Is not
Il trust except as the agent of the "hoL"
people. Concerning its silver the rights
of the many and ga few are alike
treated and protected.
On the other hand, if government
abdicatcs its right to coin free only its
own silver to the few who comprise
the silver trust to coin unlimitedly, 1t
will furnish both the incentive and the
facilities to make the dollar il dis
honest" coin.
Hence, ''the silver docirjDc' is just as
dishoncst~now as the practice will be II,
unhappily, it ever comes to pass.
1t makes me tired to hear of and read of
democrats, or republicans either, going to
vote for Bryan this year merely because 10
to T. has been relegaed to the rear on the
platform. That is not the reason they are
going to vote for Bryan. Let Those democrats
who are getting back into line get back like
men, Don't get back with lying apology
that Bryan has changed for he has not. You
fellows are the changers.
This mind-reader does not know, evil
IDENTIFY, that he, himself, has not been
democrat since he repudiatcd his State
platform of 1896; and that it is he who
States declaration concerning free coin
age and followed the sage-brush States
into populism.
On the other hand, the gold democrat
of Maryland stands upon his State plat
form of 1896, prncticnIig rr-GNrm"d !"
IJOO He has never moved.
On this rock he builds.
If, therefore, he chooses to vote for
BRYAN it is for some reason for which
he need not lie nor apologize.
1t is for some reason that can be safely
put down as ii condescension which
Bryantes should acknowledge with
thanksgiving to the Inspirer of all Good
for at least one evidence that they are
not altogether bad.
