BRYAN AND THE RATE OF IN
TEREST.

A gentleman of this city who buys prom
issory notes at a discount, sometimes called
mote shaving" said a few days ago that
as far as he was personally concerned
the election of Bryan would benefit him.
Asked why. he said Because the rate of
interest would go up. AT present conf
dence is so great money is offered freely
and the rate of interest is so low that there
is nothing in the business. If Bryan were
elected all these conditions would be
changed and. could make a good deal
more money than do now" The gentle
man took cold business view of the sit
uation. and his statement is fully justified
by facts and experience The election of
Mr.. Mckinley was worth hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the country in the re-
duction of the rate of interest, and the
election of Mr.. Bryan would cost the coun-
try as much in sending the rate IN. This
is not a mere partisan or political state
ment: 1t is based on facts and experience.
Prior to the election in 1896. when there
was at least a possibility that Mr.. Bryan
might be elected, business was paralyzed,
confidence was shaken, gold was boarded,
money was scarce and the rate of interest
was high. AS soon as it was known that
Mckinley was elected the whole situation
underwent change. The Review Of Re-
views, in December, 1885, said:
The withdrawal of gold for boarding,
ETC., caused a temporary squeeze In call
loans in New York, Oct. % preceding the
al So hnf nfnG ynr nnr
and on the three following days were ex-
traordinary, at one time reaching iS7 per
cent Immediately after the election gold
began to return to the banks at a rate
unparalleled I'm recent years. 1t was freely
paid out at the banks, and came into the
subtreasury faster than il could be
weighed and counted; while in the West
IL was paid out for wages and products
TO avoid sending it East. BY the middle
of December banks were seeking borrowers
as diligently borrowers were seeking
lenders six weeks previously. Deposits In
New York banks increased SIS, l67 400 In
five weeks after the election.
Similar conditions prevailed throughout
decline in the rate of interest which has
benefited national, state and municipal
governments and individuals to an enor-
nous amount. There is not a business man
or borrower in the United States who has
not shared in this benefit. A great many
loans on farms and other real estate have
been renewed at a lower rate of interest
Before the election of Mckinley there had
never been a farm loan negotiated in this
State at less than per cent, and some
times the rate was much higher. Now
money is offered freely on farm mortgages
at per cent. The national government
has borrowed money at a lower rate of
interest than ever before, as have also
county and city governments. The re-elec-
ton of President Mckinley means a con-
tinuance of the conditions which have
brought this low rate of interest and enor-
nous saving to the people. The election OF
Bryan would mean reversal OF them
The note-shaver was right when he said
the election Of Bryan would be money in
his pocket.

The New York Stats Zeitung, the leading
German Democratic paper of the country,
is again opposing Mr.. Bryan. In 1886 it
opposed him on the silver question. AT the
beginning of the present campaign it sup
ported him on the ground that imperialism
was the paramount issue, but as he persists
in forcing silver to the front, it withdraws
its support. 1t says:
A few weeks ago it looked as though
a strong current toward Bryan had set in,
but since then visible turn the other way
has come. The nearer election day ap-
proaches the more intense becomes the feel
ing which led to the crushing defeat of the
Democratic candidate four years ago-the
feeling, namely, of insecurity, of fear of
serious business disturbances, and of lack
or confidence in William j. Bryan's char
acter.
In another editorial the Stats Zeitung
expresses regret that by reviving the silver
question Mr.. Bryan has shown that he does
not possess certain sterling traits of char
acter and solid element of conservatism
so that one can look to his administration
with confidence and above all, with calm
security" From this it appears that in
telligent Germans are looking behind the
imperialism mask at the free silver face.

THE MAN OF THE WEST.
What He Stands for in the Record Of
American Citizenship.

Boston Journal.
One of the ranchmen who welcomed Col
Roosevelt to Fargo. n. D.. the other day.
said: 1.-THE coming man is the man of the
West, the man of the plains. This.is God s
country
We know that Colonel Roosevelt heard
these words approximately; that they
warmed his heart that they fired his elo-
quence; but we know that he didn't forget
the man of the East.
The coming man is the man who looks
forward to his own prosperity and his
countrys prosperity. He may live In Port
land, Me-; he may live in Houston, Tex.
He sees success ahead, and he is hopeful
enough to believe that his country will keep
up with him. But this man is not a sec
tional figure he is a national figure. You
will find him in Boston, New York. Rich
mond Charleston. Jacksonville, Montgom-
cry, Macon, st. Louis, Chicago. st. Paul.
Kansas City, Seattle San Francisco. His
temperament is buoyant, his heart free, his
ambition cloud-scraping. his industry Of
two-horse power. his enterprise worthy of
TO the Columbia, his loyalty to his home
and 10 his country deep and strong as that
OF the proudest Roman.
But among this tremendous class OF
Americans the man of the West is a pic
turesque and lovabie figure. He is 10 be
loved for the enemies he has made. With
him the sneak, the coward. the loafer the
traitor is no more welcome than the coyote.
The man of the West is not the man who
rides into the shingled barroom and shoots
the necks off bottles; that hilarious speci-
men is an exception. The man of the West
hasn't changed materially since the pioneer
