present day unparalleled prosperity, Ii
which every citizen has a right to share.
Ii any citizen is prevented from sharing
in that prosperity, he is the victim Of
conditions which cannot be righted by
the election of Bryan, strongly as he may
be tempted to trust in that remedy. I'm.
der the gold standard we have become
the leading creditor nation, and we are
financing the world. We have produced
three great crops in succession, and we
are feeding Europe. We have HAD three
years of unexcelled manufacturing in
dustry, and we are finding a prompt and
generous market all over the world. The
American farmer, the American laborer
and the American business mar were
never as prosperous us they are to-day.
1t is by their suffrages that this presiden-
tial election must be decided. In what
direction do their interests lie?
The American farmer is selling for
3712 cents a bushel corn which it costs
him Is cents to produce. His wheat and
cotton, his beef and pork are selling at
profitable prices. He is spending his
money in luxuries and enjoying himself.
He is riding in railroad trains, and, as he
looks from the car windows over the
bountiful harvests, he is taking a new
view not only of his native land, which
was fairer or happier, but is also
thinking Of his new markets and new
possessions" across the seas.
The laborer is to-day receiving more
wages than he ever received before, and
he is receiving them in a currency that is
good all owe the world. In many in
stances, undoubtedly, there must be a
readjustment of wages, and the sporadic
strikes now reported in various manufac-
turing centers point probably to the be-
ginning Of this reimbursement. In my opin-
ion, these and kindred difficulties will be
safely and speedily settled. = . "
Now, can any ane man tell me how
the laborer will help his condition, or the
solution Of the problems so vital to him,
by voting to debase our standard of value
and thereby reducing his own wagesf
What has labor to hope from Bryan,
ostensibly the friend Of the dissatisfied,
the champion of the aggrieved, and the
chosen candidate of all the long-haired
reformers in the United States? Does
not the supreme salvation Of labor de-
pend, after all, upon preserving our
standard of value, upon the non-partisan
regulation Of trusts, and upon the appli-
cation to those great commercial aggre-
cations, which are so peculiarly a pro-
duct of this age, Of a system of license
and taxation? Is it not idle to denounce
the trust as an evil, a menace to the ma
tional welfare? Is not the trust a nat
ural and essential development Of our
time? A quarter of q century ago the
word Corporation" implied an inherent
reproach in the minds of exactly. those
citizens who to-day regard the trust,
which is the incorporation of corpora
tons, with the same disfavor. Yet it is
to the solution of the trust problem that

A significant point in connection with the
reported contemplated transfer of the
Brooklyn club to Washington is the fact
that there was quite a group of National
League magnates in Philadelphia yester-
day. Their being in the Quaker city alone
is not of much comment. but the fact that
the Brooklyn club and the officials of that
club were also there has significance tnat
| later developments will make important.
President Young of the National League
is the latest base ball man of unusual
prominence to talk about the matter of
| transferring the champions to Washington.
"Uncle Nick admits that there may be

Mr.. Young some three weeks ago he pulled

President Young was seen by an Even
Ing Star reporter yesterday, and during the
conversation that followed said
eff the Brooklyn club should come to
Washington after their western trip they
would test the capacity Of the base ball
park to it's limit. 1t has been a discourag
ing season financially for the Brooklyn
grounds. Returns made to me of the re-
ceipts at the games thus far at Brooklyn
show an average attendance Of about 1000
at other than holiday games.'
Further on Mr.. Young said:
when the National League dropped the
Washington club from membership care
was taken to preserve franchise and
grounds in case Of an emergency This
emergency seems to have arisen In the
case of the Brooklyn club. 1t need be no
surprise for the base ball patrons of Wash

thing is in readiness. and the grounds have
been cared for just as though they were in

A remarkable showing was recently made
by the Brooklyn club at Boston in the
way of financial returns. In the four games
played in that city more money was taken
in at the gate than in something like twelve

BrooklynS would lose a mint of money
