imperialism, free silver, the trusts,
calamity" the empire, etc.-having |
proved failures he has now allowed |
himself to descend to the lowest level /
of demagogery and is seeking to cor
raj" the labor vote by preaching hatred
and jealousy of the rich and by assert |
ing that the Republicans propose to
maintain a large standing army hence-.i
II forth for the purpose of subjugating
VI labor and intimidating worl;ingmen.
NJ This assertion, which is nothing less
@tlnu an outrageous falschood, has not
Nj had The effect which he intended and
% expected. 1t has served to stir up the
m passions OF the idle and vicious classes
Nj land has borne fruit in the shape of
ri Msundry riotous outbreaks and personal
# assaults upon Governor Roosevelt, Sen
#atnr Hanna and other distinguished
M Hlivpublicans But there is no evidence
Mthnt it has infected the mass of sober,
#industrious wOrkingmen. Even the
H lnuurs on strike haze shown no in
HI creased tendency toward the Demo
" cratic ticket In fact, Il delegation
from the Wilkcsbarre region recently
callcd upon the Republican national
IT, scommittce and informed them that
t hey were Republicans ami that the
Nstrikc had not affected the politics Of
B lie strikers.
& MIR. Crimmins' statement.
EH One of the most forcible appeals to
Hlaboring men which the campaign has
produced Is that which Mr.. John ID.
|s& 'rimmins recently published. Mr..
W 'rlmmins has been IL lifelong Demo-
trat and is one of the most extensive
of labor in the country. Ills
appeal has already had a powerful in
Siiuence on the workingmen, and 1t Is
\, believed that not less than 10000 of
Them in New York alone will change
from Bryan to Mckinley in conse-
1uence. Mr. Crimmins said In part:
Upon the one great issue to be de-
tidcd at the polls in November the for
eign born voters, the workingmen of
all nationalities and beliefs, can vote
NXbut one way, as | see the situation.
n hey must vote to protect their own in
tcrests by the continuance in our coun-
thy of abundant employment ut good
wages paid in n currency as good all
over the world as it is III the markets
ef New York. They must vote for
financial honesty and honor Many of
thcm send part of their earnings to
3le old country. They want their re-
hittanccs TO represent as much value
tlerc rs here. 10 protect their best in
frcsts to maintain ana continue the
fruSperity which gives them the op-
p orlunity of earning such wages. they
slrclY cannot afford to vote otherwise
N an for the party of sound money.
M ''inc friends of sound money of in
A AiNiduAl and national honesty, are com
n He'd to enroll themselves in the Re
pujran ranks. They have no choice.
Nol 10 vote is 20 throw away Il vote.
Ao vo;o for Bryan is, in my Judgment,
R vote for lOpulisa. the destruction of
W. coEntry's and the workingmen' S
~ st interests. The only alternative is
IA vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
4 here is no third ticket no Democrat
III banner under which sound money
Dcmocrats may form and fight.
m -Four years ago voted for Palmer
nnd Buckner. This year | shall cast
@ly ballot for Mckinley and Roosevelt
such | believe to be the present duty
8f those Democrats who maintained
Darty allegiance ana yet supported
4heir principles in 1896. In state and
rity affairs other considerations may
Nime into play. but in the national
&lmpaign no other course seems to me
Hssible.
Capital and Labor Are Allies.

appear purely from business point OF
Wcw, should be prepared conciscly and
sft forth clearly to the workingmen
Mill capital employed labor is ON
poyed; with capital assured of returns
Abor is assured of wages. The statis
fies of employment and wages in the
wears 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900 may be
etudied with profit. Conditions in 1901
would be assurcdly different in the
event of Mr.. Bryans election. The
fltc of our prosperity would sustain 6
eevere check, | have no doubt. Mr.
Bryan's adherents are not makers OF
@ployment, of wealth, of prosperity
or of advancement"
German-Amcricans Faithful.
N%The attempt by the Bryanites tx

mas also proved a failure. Both thu
Wrkingmen and the business men o.
German extraction are 1locking to th;
standard of Mckinley in multitudes
