Insult TO German Yntera

The Bryanites have done much talk
ing in this campaign about swinging
the German vote over to Bryan. 1t
would seem from their statements that
they believe the German born Ameri-
cans can be transferred solidly from
one party to another at the will of par
ty leaders. 1t is believed that German
Americans will resent as an insult this
attempt of the Democratic leaders to
stampede them en- masse, like a flock
OF sheep, by cries of imperialism" and
''militarism." On this subject Senator
Scott of West Virginia has made the
following statement:
AT the beginning Mr. Bryan's para
mount issue at indianapolis was level
ed at the COMMUNICATIONS and was
designed to bring them all down at one
shot. Then Mr.. Schurz is brought for
ward. or brings himself forward. with
the assumption of delivering over the
German-American vote bodily to Bry-
an. And all over the country-in Ma
ryland, in New York, in Wisconsin. in
Indiana-the Democratic managers
have been taking the same ground.
that the Communications can be
made to vote all the same way, as
some one man or some group of men
may desire.
There never was greater mistake.
NO class of our citizens is more intelli-
gent and more Independent than the
German-Americans. Each one of them
thinks for bincaIf 1oni5oe g.. 1s.----,c
and votes for himself. They are cool
headed, judicial minded, very practical
people, not swayed by sudden whims
or frenzies, not affected by artificial
claptrap and, above all, not to be led
by the nose at the will of any political
clique or organization. They have
thought out this question of militarism
long ago. They came to this country
largely on that account, and they have
got brains enough to see that the situa-
tion has not changed at all and that as
to Imperialism there is simply nothing
IN 1t. They will vote as independent
individuals, and when they vote they
will not be likely to forget the insults
which they have received in this cam
paign from the Democratic leaders in
trying to round them up like a herd
OF cattle. l know what l am talking
about, for l have been in close touch
with the German-Americans politically
and personally ever since | came ont
OF the army 80 years ago, and l know
that above all they are clear headed
and correct in their financial principles,
aS they Lave always been true to sound
money from the earliest times"

ne couldn't Stand the Pressure of
the Things He Saw.
Hon. Joseph G. Sibley, the Demo-
cratic congressman from the Twenty
seventh Pennsylvania district. recently
declared for Mckinley, and in a speech
at Bradford, Pa, recently he gave his
reasons for ''hopping" In the first
place, he pleaded guilty to the charge
OF Hopping, and these were the things
which had made him flop:
He saw men earning twice as much
now as in 1896.
He saw everybody employed now,
while in 1896 AZ per cent of the wage
earners of the country were unemploy-
ed or working on short hours.
de saw the country manufacturing
tor home consumption and for export
now instead Of importing as in 1896.
He saw pound of wool selling for
30 cents instead of for II cents as in
1876 and cotton at 10 cents instead of
4 cents.
He saw an advance under Mckinley
OF % to 125 per cent in the price of all
farm products.
He saw $765, 100000 more paid to
wage earners in this country in 1899
than in 1896.
He saw 80 miles of empty freight
cars sidetracked and idle on the New
York Central railroad for two years
under Cleveland and now every wheel
turning.
He saw our boys in blue being shot
down by savages and the Bryanites
sympathizing with the savages.
He saw every month a national sur
plus, instead of a deficit as in 1896.
He saw that we were lending money
to Europe, instead of borrowing it from
Europe as under Cleveland.
And when he saw these things he
went and Topped.

The baltimore Lengu,

One of the largest and strongest
branches of the National Democratic
Honest Money league is the one at Bal
timore. This was the first organization
Of the kind in the field in 1896, and it
made a great record for itself. The
old committee Of 20 which managed its
affairs in 1896 recently met and decid-
ed to reorganize for the present cam
paign. deeming it quite as important
to act now as then. Only two Of the
committee of 20 have changed their
views and come out for Bryan. The
work of the Baltimore league is now
going on as vigorously as four years
ago, and the prospects are that the re-
suits of the work will be similar to the
previous results. At the first meeting
the sentiment of the members was ex-
pressed in the declaration that the
league again entered the campaign be-
cause Bryanism and free silver were
the real issues and because, as the
Gold Democrats of Maryland believe it
was their vote that carried Maryland
for Mckinley in 1896. they believe it to
be their duty to support and vote for a
continuance of the administration
which has assured honest money and
good times. At least $4,000 Gold Demo-
Gratis in Maryland voted for Mckinley
In 1896, and the leaders of the league
believe that the bulk of these will vote
the same way this November.

could but emphasize the injury and
distress which free silver agitation had
already wrought. The result of our
work brought the country to hope and
activity, until now prosperity obtains,
values are up and the price of labor the
highest in the history of this country,
considering the purchasing power of
money.
"A thousand times better would it
have been to let free silver win in
1896, when depression and ruin ruled.
than let it win now, when prosperity
rules. The revolution in values that
would ensue upon the election of BrT-
an would pull down our financial and
commercial structure, involving COM
plete industrial disaster. The fall
would be so great that the wreck would
be beyond repair for this business gen.
Grafton, and these conditions would not
wait for Mr.. Bryan's Inauguration; his
election would precipitate them before
sunset of the following day. Therefore
our duty is to, take up the contest
where we laid it down and fight it to
finish in good conscience, in good faith,
In common decency. in fulfllment Of
our duty as good citizens. We cannot
do less.
sufficient for us is the fact that the
gold standard is in danger. Free silver
is the real issue again before the cOun-
try. Our duty calls us to the same ac-
tiOn we took in 1896 and no true friend
of honest money, national honor, safe
ty and prosperity can desert our colors
and so over to the enemy.
I'VE repeat, no maH who opposed
Bryanism in 1896 can in good con-
science and true principle support it in
1900. Its champion is the same Popu-
listic Bryan, advocating the same prin-
ciples and purposes.
'Our simple duty is to bury Bryan
ism beyond resurrection and establish
for all time beyond successful assault
the gold standard.
I'VE urge all Democrats who believe
as we do to cast their votes where they
will count for most, Mckinley and
Roosevelt"

Peeples Party Convention.

The peoples party county convention
was held at Cosmopolis, Monday. 1t
was called to order at II a. m. by John
A. Gilkey, chairman OF the county GEN.
trail committee, who was later made tenn
porary chairman. A. b. Holloway,
secretary of the central committee, was
made secretary OF the convention. The
call for the convention, which is usually
read by the secretary, was read by Chair
man Gilkey, who discreetly omitted the
paragraph which prohibited ofliceholders
from seats in the convention. Commit
tees were appointed on credentials, order
of business and resolutions, and recess
was taken until 80 o'clock.
After recess the committee on crelen-
tials made the first report. On the
question OF its adoption ]. a. Sells moved
that no proxies be allowed in the con-
vention, and supported the motion by
saying that the admission of proxies was
opposed to the basic principles of popu.
lism, but, he received no support, and
the proxies We're allowed. At this juno.
ture A. G. Little, who had been present
from the beginning, handed his creden.
tials to the chairman, and the omission
OF that part OF the call barring office
holders was explained.
w. F. Pattison, editor OF the Cosmor'
oils Enterprise, welcomed the convention
