Seven Weeks To Election.

The nearer the election approaches
the more manifest it becomes that
the one great issue to be then decided
is the question of the currency-of
the standard or value. Nothing else
is paramount" in the platform of
either party in the thought of the
people and nothing else can-be made
paramount for them by any par
tisan effort or any tactics of election
eering.
The business of the whole country
is waiting for the national decision of
seven weeks from Tuesday. Only
the prevailing confidence that it will
be for the preservation of the gold
standard prevents disastrous check
to enterprise. But confidence is not
assurance and the uncertainty holds
back the further leap ahead which
will be made at once such a decision
is actually rendered, for all other con-
ditions are favorable.
So long as there is only the hope of
the maintenance of the gold stand
ard, no matter how strong, there is
an element of gambling on an uncer-
tainty in assuming the election of
Mr.. Mckinley, which makes impossi-
BILE its use as basis for prudent
business transactions. This refusal
to bet on the election as matter of
serious business appears in the pa
ralysis of Stock Exchange, though
nowhere is the confidence in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Mckinley stronger and
more general than in the speculative
centre of Wall street.
The whole machinery of business,
of investment and enterprise is now
waiting, and the sole decision for
which it waits is as to the mainten-
ance or overthrow of the gold stand
ard on the 9th of November.
All talk of any other iseue is nom
sense, as every intelligent man knows.
Even supporters of Bryan like Mr..
Schurz and Mr.. Cochran confess that
it only is paramount by arguing
that even it elected Bryan could not
upset the gold standard because, for
the time being, there is small
majority in the Senate for it's de-
fence. They acknowledge that ex-
cept for the party of Mr.. Mckinley it
would be overthrow, yet they are
\ asking the people to defeat that
party and put Bryan in the White
House, along with a majority in the
House of Representatives pledged to
destroy it immediately OF course,
such pleas for Bryan only increase
the business disturbance provoked
by his candidacy. They show con
clusively that there would be a pro
longation of the cause of trouble, in
the event of Bryan's election, after
the sharp crisis which would follow

Bryan and the Strike.

MIR. Bryan, as was expected, is en-
deavoring to make political capital
out of the strike in the anthracite
coal region. "WheneYer any Repub-
lican holds up before you the full
dinner pail argument" he said, TASK
him what he thinks of the anthracite
coal region
What godsend the Democratic
candidate must deem this unfortu-
nate contest But what has it to do
with politics? In what way is the
Republican party responsible for the
grievances of the miners? And if a
Bryan administration were in power
at Washington what could it do to
remedy those grievances? Would
the miners be receiving more wages
if the free silver party had been sue
cessful four years ago? If protection
to American industries were swept
away, as the Bryanite party desires,
would that improve the condition of
the miners! On the contrary, is it
not beyond question that the free
silver and free trade policies of the
Bryanite party would make the con-
dition of the miners far worse than it
is?
Mr.. Bryan is unmasking. He is
throwing off the disguise assumed at
the opening of the campaign and ap-
pearing in his true character as a
demagogic agitator. 1t is an unmis-
taxable sign of growing conviction
that his cause is waning.

upon such a calamity.

upon such a calamity.
All arguments for the election of
Bryan on the theory that imperial
ISM is the paramount" issue which
should determine the votes of the
people have had the same conse-
quence. They have increased the
alarm; but evil as the immediate
results may be, they have served to
lessen the chance of such a catas-
trophe by making all the clearer to
intelligence and common sense the
actually paramount issue of the gold
standard.
No such support of Bryan denies
or can deny that if he was elected he
would overthrow the gold standard
at the first opportunity. 1t can only
contend that the preservation of the
country from imperialism is more
important than the preservation of
the gold standard. "a panic,n said
Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard, one of the
most notable of them, "would be a
small price to pay for the election of
Bryan"
The nearer the election approaches,
therefore, the clearer and the more
general becomes the understanding
of the country that the standard of
values upon whose preservation the
security of property and the pros
perity of business depend is at stake.
The longer Bryan talks, the greater
the activity of his campaign, the
louder the boasts of his managers, the
more paramount" does the real issue
of the campaign appear. The attempt
to subordinate it, to befog it, has
only made the more obvious its ire
pressible prominence and its over
whelming Importance. Long before
the seven weeks now remaining be-
fore the election are over no other is
sue will receive serious thought by
any men of really sane mind or pro-
yoke discussion of any interest to
him. Newspapers which hitherto
have been diverting themselves or
gratifying their malice by supporting
Bryan, while protesting devotion to
the gold standard, will be forced by
this prevalent and imperious senti-
ment to display the flag under which
actually they are fighting, by giving
up one or the other.-N. Y. Sun.

that he has been dwelling in a canvas
tent beneath the forest trees, listen
ing to the voice of nature and troubl-
ing himself as little as possible about
the issues of the campaign. There is
no doubt, however, that he will re-
turn from his outing thoroughly in
trim for the services that he has
never failed to render to his party
That he will yet wake the echos from
Sandy Spring to Tuscarora Creek is a
foregone conclusion. A Maryland
campaign without the eloquence of
Colonel Kilgour would be sad ira
vesty on the glory of the past, and
leave an aching void which even Mr..
German himself could not fill. "On
the very Apex of the mountain -
he writes, standing like sentinel
on guard, was towering and grace
full cucumber tree; so striking were
its proportions, so beautiful was it to
behold that l exclaimed, IF l were a
bird and lived in this forest, l would
build my nest in its branchesr 1t
is idle, however, for Colonel Kilgour
to dream about being a bird and
building his nest in the branches of a
cucumber tree. There is a higher
destiny in store for him in waking
with the lark at dawn and singing
the song of triumphant Democracy

What Bryan's Election Will Mean to
American Labor.

American Labor.
By Hon. Charles H. Grosvenor, NJ. c., of Ohio.
In the eddying fight, amid din and
roar of the fallen guns of imperialism
and militarism, there is danger the
people of this country may lose sight
of the fact that the election of Mr..
Bryan means the overthrow of the
protective tariff system and the in
PRODUCTION of a free-trade program
into the policy of the government.
Our people have short memories and
they sometimes forget and need to be
reminded.
Mr.. Bryan was "a member of the
send and 53rd Congresses and took
very active part at once upon taking
his seat. In the 53rd Congress, of
which l was a member, the Wilson
bill was under consideration. 1t was
the passage of that bill which plung-
ed this country into ruin. 1t does
not make any difference what people
say about the origin of hard times,
the intelligent laboring man of this
country knows very well that he
ceased to earn a living for himself
and family because of the demoraliza-
ton of business caused by the repeal
of the Mckinley law and the passage
of the wilson act. 1t was that which
precipitated wages to the lowest ebb
that they have been for many a year.
1t was that which sent marching
columns of hungry men over the
country demanding food. 1t was the
passage of that bill that made it pos
sible for any intelligent man to listen
for a moment to the speeches of such
men as Bryan in 1896.
On the floor of the House in the
debates on the Wilson bill Bryan
took the extreme free-trade ground.
His speeches are on record and the
laboring men of the country can find
them and read them. He especially
announced himself as in favor of alb
solute free trade upon many of the
leading products of the farm, notably
wool, which he insisted should be
put upon the free list of the Wilson
bill. When that bill was passed by
the concurrence of the House in the
six hundred amendments of the Sen
ate it was Bryan and Hon. Jos.
Bailey, a representative from the
State of Texas, who in their ecstasy
seized the champion, who was the
putative father of the law, the Hon.
w. L. Wilson of West Virginia, and
carried him on the shoulders in
triumphal procession through the
House of Representative into the
cloak-room and saturnalia of Joy
resounded from those premises. 1t
was Bryan who favored the introduce
| ton of foreign material into this
country free of charge. 1t was Bryan
who demanded that all raw material
such as wool, coal, iron, and every
thing which entered into the manu-
facture of goods, should be imported
free, and it was his influence, more
than any other mans that brought
about the terrible result with which
we are so familiar.
1t was Bryan's earnest demand
that put wool on the free list, and in
that debate he declared that he did
not care whether it benefited or hurt
the wool grower. 1t was Bryan who
drove the tariff on coal down to such
an extent as to flood the eastern
markets with coal and stimulate the

In the mountain land of old,
When the closing day is shining
With its crimson and its gold,
And the stately clouds are sailing
To harbor far away,
Then l hear dear one calling
From the land of perfect day.
In the golden days of glory,
In the sunny land of youth,

From my bonnie, brown-eyed Ruth:
We would walk the world together,
Ever happy in our love
But the angels loved her dearer,
And they called her up above.
Oh, the troubled days of waiting;
Oh, the heart-ache and the pain,
As in lonely paths l wander
To an ever sad refrain:
Dreaming of the glad tomorrow
When my soul with sweet surprise
Shall find the dear one awaiting
At the gates of Paradise.
