Vicious Conspiracy Disclosed.

The threatened strike OF the miners
OF the anthracite coal regions of Penn
sylvania has been averted, and at the
same time there has been disclosed one
OF the most wicked conspiracies ever
formed for political purposes, going to
show that the Democracy is In very
desperate straits indeed. This is no idle
or reckless charge. for the governor o.:
Pennsylvania and other state author-
ties have In their possession full kuowl-
edge that the strike was started, foster
ed and backed by conspirators working
in. the interest OF Bryan. That e.
Bryan himself anticipated this strike ia
well known, for he proclaimed his belief
that II would occur during his tour
through this state.
Developments show that the rumors
which were circulated In July soon aft
ter Bryan'S nomination. that the Demo-
Gratis would abct strikes and labor agi-
tat!ons for campaign purposes were not
untounded. notwithstanding the loud
dcnials OF Bryan leaders. There will De

Bowery. Senator Depew 1t was who

and in 1896 broke the Ice for Republican
orators who have followed him. The
other night a product OF the Bowery,
Tom Roman, an orator indigenous TO the
soil, and nicknamed the ..Bowery De-

street. In the course OF his rather
pointed remarks he rejoiced that It was

the tementy to face large crowds OF
farmers and tell them that they were
not prosperous. 1t was. true. he said,
they had been blessed with. good crops,
but SO far as prosperity went they Ind
none OF 1t. and he wondered how any.
farmer could be Republican. All OF
which vas very simple of explanation.
II Is eminently true that good crops
alone, as Mr.. Bryan intimated, canno,
make good times for the farmer. The
farmer might have his corn cribs and
barns full to overlooking. but 81 there
was no purchasing powerfto take his
wheat, corn, potatoes and other pro-
ducts of the farm there would be no
prosperity for him. But Just here the
Republican party steps In and with the
establishment Of the protective tariff
sets the wheels OF industry whirring
and lights the furnace fires, gives en-
ployment to idle labor, thereby FURNISH
insja home market for the farmer, with
good. prices for all his products. That
Is what the Republican party does. for
the farmers,and the experience. the had
with free trade under Cleveland, the
farmers know 1t. But II Mr.. Bryan is
elected free trade Will come back, Just
as sure as he would destroy the gold
standard, the handmade OF Industrial
activity, and establish the, free coinage
Of silver. This is what he said one day.
while a member OF Congress: ."Protec.
tion has been our cannlbal tree, and as
one after another OF our farmers has
been driven by the force of clrcum-
stances upon that tree. and has been
crushed within It's folds, his compan-
Ions have stood around and shouted:
Great Is protection."
They don't believe you Mr.. Bryan;
they cannot believe you in the light of
the former and present condlt!on-dis-
tress under free trade and abundanc.
under protection. II any one is disposed
to doubt the accuracy OF this grouping
OF agricultural prosperity with Repuh-
iican rule, and rural poverty with DEM
ocratlc ascendancy, let him examine the
showing OF farm prices of wheat on
December l of each year averaged into
periods of four years. beginning with
the election OF Cleveland in 1892. The
figures are official. being taken from
the annual report OF the secretary Of
agriculture. During four years under
Cleveland, from 1892 to 1895 the average
price of wheat was 54.1 cents, while
during the administration OF Mckinley,
from 1896 to 1899. the average price in
creased to els cents. Other products
of the farm likewise participated in
this upward tendency. for the total
value OF the ten staple crops increased
from sl,767, 1851 in 1895. to So o9e. $50, 735
in 1889. an addition to the wealth OF the
agricultural classes under the benefit

tariff of s323.0i7.0 64. the uuquestioncd
result of opening the mills to American
labor, instead OF opening the mints to
the free coinage OF silver.
Still Bryan has the nerve to so about
the country telling the farmers they are
not prosperous; that they only imagine
they are.

Abuse of Lincoln in 1864.

Bryan and his fanatlcal following are
quite fond of quoting Lincoln these
days in support OF their "bromstlck
ghost" OF Imperialism, and the Repub-
lican national committee has done vel
to dig up a few facts In the history Of
the country during the dark, and trying
hours OF the rebellion. In 1864 there
was the same cry raised by the Demo-
icracy against Lincoln that is now
phrased by the anti-imperialists. In
those days they were called Copperhesds.
and the chief among the Atkinsons
'Winslows and Seizures OF that period
was Clement L. Vallandingham. OF
Ohio, 4 pernicious rebel; and, bscausa
President Lincoln took drastic meas-
lures TO suppress this traitor he was re-
ferred to by seditious speakers in Con-
gress as "the emperor at the other end
of the avenue"
Fal!andingham was giving aid and
comfort to the Southern Confederacy in
the. same manner Bryan Is doing 10
the authority of this government to-
day. So 1t happened on June IS, 1864.
Senator Salisbury in the senate Of the
United States hurled the following at
Lincoln in discussing Vallandlnghams
case: Great God! a free American
citizen living in country the people
inhabiting which are secured In their
rights by fundamental charter. 4

arrest except by due process OF law:

Ger has been here from Ohio for the
the command OF the man who sits en-
throned at the other end OF the avenue"
Commenting on these discoveries Of
ancient Democratic lore by the natior-
al committee the Chicago Tribune says:
a That is rather worse than anything said
now that Mckinley contcrplates imperial
Ism. or that his policy will result In II at
some time In the future. but Emperor
Lincoln" was accused OF having already
reduced the country from n republic to an
empire. and OF already sitting enthroned
In the white house. In the ZANE speech
Senator Salisbury remarked:
I'VE say to you rs free American clti-
zens go to the polls. cast your votes freely
for Abraham Lincoln. the man OF all other
men on the face OF Gods earth most unit
to administer the affairs OF this govern
ment.'
THE most blgotcd advocate OF anti-im-
reriallsm and little America will not no
that far In denunciation OF Mckinley now.

Imperialism. but II hasn't the virulence

tributions to the history Mr.. Bryan has

United States Senator Scott on tn,


Triumph of American Diplomacy.
New York Sun: United States sena-
tor Nathan B. Scott, OF West Virginia,
remarked yesterday that the attitude
which the American government had
assumed and kept throughout the Chi
nese crisis made him more than ever
proud of his citizenship. The news
from Europe was under discussion at
national headquarters and Mr.. Scott
said:
1.-THE revelations OF the past two days
must cause every true American heart
to beat with pride. Again has this
country shown Its ability to take the
lead in important diplomatic negotia-
tons. and to more than hold its own
with the experienced diplomas OF the
European powers. 1t was the United
States governments note of last July
which proved the entering wedge into
China and led directly to the rescue Of
the imperilled foreigners In Pekin. And
now II Is our government which Is lead
and honorable settlement OF the whole
difficulty. The prominence OF the
United States In these negotiations and
its prospective success therein. must
raise our country UNNECESSARILY in the
estimation and respect OF the world.
The pending settlement initiated at
Washington provides for the withdraw
al of all troops from China. the MAIN
tenance Of the open door, the re-estab-
llshment of the Chinese government.
and the redress Of recent grievances
and preservation Of all treaty rights.
This Is certainly most equitable pro-
gramme. and 1t reflects infinite credit
on the head und heart of its trainers.
1t is hardly supposable that any OF the
European powers, even Germany or
England, can long hold out against II.
Another important point brought out
into bold relief by these recent diplo-
matte events has relation to the ques-
ton of Imperialism. From the first,
the Mckinley administration has shown
clearly that Its policy In regard to Chi
ma was as far as possible the reverse
Of imperiaIistic. Its purpose was simply
to protect our citizens in China. and 1t
has had absolutely no designs on. the
partition OF China or the acquisition OF
territory In that country. And now our
government again answers the howl
about imperialism by definitely pro-
posing to withdraw all foreign troops
from China and rehabilitating the Chi
nese government. There IS certainly
not much imperialism or militarism In
such policy as this

not 80 sorely stricken in comparison
with the nature Of the disaster inflicted
upon Galveston.
To give some faint idea of the charac-
ter Of this terrible visitation 1t Is only
necessary to point out the geographical
situation and the typographical fornia-
3tion OF the Island on which Galveston
is located. The city Is situated on an
island extending east and west for
itwenty-seyen miles, and is seven miles
in Its greatest width north and south.
In no part OF the city is it more than SIX
feet above the sea level. The island
from the north side Is connected with the
mainland by railroad bridges and the
longest wagon bridge in the world,
nearly two miles in length. In 1872 the
entire east end of the city was swept
away by the tidal wave that followed a
terrific storm that swept the gulf coast
for three days. 1t is on the south side
OF the city, beginning within fifty yards
OF the medium gulf tide, that the
wealthy resident portion is located, and
which was the first part OF Galveston
to be stricken by the full force of the
recent storm and flood. All OF the east
ern end OF the city must certainly be
washed away.
The only protection that has ever
veen provided for the gulf side OF the
city has been two stone breakwaters,
but many times with ordinary storms
coming In from the gulf the tidewater
has been hurled over the low stone walls
right to the. very doors of the resi-
dences. From Virginia point, six miles
from Galveston, in ordinary conditions
Of the atmosphere, the city can be
plainly seen. II 1t Is true that Calves
ton cannot now be seen from the point.
the condition of the people in the city
must be indescribably horrible.

Good News From Maine.

Advices from the Maine election up to
midnight tell OF comfortable Republic
can victory in that state. and that the
: plurality will be 10000 or over. This Is
exceedingly good news. when 1t Is
known that sanguine leaders of the
party did not count on more than
$4,000. The comparisons are made with
the abnormal year OF 1896. when the
plurality was $1,000.
There were five state tickets In the
field. and reports from the state show
that there was marked apathy toward
national issues. but remarkable
quIckening on state issues. there being
a tremendous agitation OF questions OF
taxation, from which the Democrats
seem to have proAted slightly. In
spite Of these factors the result is
highly encouraging to the Republicans.
