lot of short lines chat multiplied the
difficulty and expense of transporta-
ton, and of Geographic and telephone
communication, and then asked if we
all considered these institutions as
hydra-headed monsters. which should
be, as Mr.. Bryan say they shall be if he
is elected-swept from the face of the
earth. He said if there is injury
under the corporation there is redress
ia the constitution, the law and the
courts Of the United States.
After his discussion of the trusts
Mr.. Whitehead made a brief review
and criticism of the Democratic charge
of militarism and imperialism. AS
to militarism he asked who composed
the army that is to overrun the land
and carry away our liberties at the
point of the bayonet, and answered
that our standing army is composed of
the young men who have received their
early training in the schools and
churches of the land, from which we
all have had our education. They
have had the traditions and principles
Of this country and the constitution as
thoroughly instil1ed into" their minds
as the rest of us and are not any more
disposed to ride rough shod over them
and trample under foot the liberty and
happiness of their schoolmates and
fellow citizens than we would be were
we enlisted in the army of the United
States. He spoke of the schools of the
country where men are educated and
trained for the life of an American
soldier in the standing army of Uncle
fact relative to them that history
proved that they were capable of max
ing the best possible civic officers.
He spoke of the size of the standing
army at the present time. when it has
been enlarged to meet new emergencies,
100000 men, and compared it with the
army of strikers, 10000 strong, who
are acting under the direction of a
single man, sMr. Mitchell. Does the
comparison make the army look ex-
ceeding dangerous?
The speaker spoke Of the talk of
nilitarism as a ridiculous makeshift,
without ground in fact or reason; and
affirmed that any man who would
resort, for political or any other pur-
pose, to arousing class hatred and set
one body of citizens to attack another
is not fit to hold the most Insignificant
Office in the nation, to say nothing of
the Presidency.
In closing Mr.. Whitehead spoke of
Puerto Rican bill. He referred to the
bill of rights in that bill given to
Puerto Rico by the United States and
to be secured to those people by the
might of the bayonet if necessary.

WHY is the free silver clause in the
Democratic platform? Why did the
dictator of the Democratic party make
the insertion of that clause the cOndi-
ton of his accepting the nomination?
Did he do it because he regards it of
the same vital Importance as he did in
1896? If so, why did he announce ''im-
peria1ism" as the paramount issue and
leave the discussion of free silver out
of his speeches? Or did Mr.. Bryan de-
mand the insertion of the free silver
plank in the Democratic platform in
order to catch the votes of those who
still cling to the silver fa11acy? Then
what is to become of those who are en-
couraged to give their support to the
Democratic party on the assurance
that imperialism, - ''mi1itarism" and
trusts" arc the issues that Mr.. Bryan
is fighting on, and who are and always
have been opposed to the free silver
policy? The painful position of Mr..
Bryan is only too apparent, Either he
1must repudiate free silver and his free
silver friends, or he must break his
= dye to MS ''imperia1ism'' friends.
'Ehe free silver clause is thrust into
1he darkest corner in order that it may
OF arouse the dread and animosity of
Tin ys9 who have learned to know it and
to fear it, but whose votes, while it
hides, may be stampeded into the
Democratic bag by the imperialism
add "militarism" scareCrows; and in
order that, while he talks of standing
armies and garrisoned forts to the ter
rifed "anti," Mr.. Bryan may point to
where it turks with a significant wink
at his free silver devotees. They may
we'll be satisfied with the wink and al
low to imperialism, "militarism'
and the rest all the e1oquence and all
the honor, for to them will ultimately
come the spoi1s, should Bryan achieve
election. Bryan must deceive some
some one and it will not be the free
si1verite. He is devoted, surrendered,
to free silver, and his wild frenzy has
foredoomed him. His pet will not re-
main in his quiet corner. 1t looks
more like the whole thing every day,
while the scarecrows are going to
pieces and the recruits under them,
with their leaders, are deserving.

The Camnaign Lie.


The campaign lie is a peculiar thing.
Sometimes, while we condemn it, we
are compelled to wonder at its ingenu-
ity, and sometimes marvel at its
inbicility. We are inclined to feel
some degree of leniency toward the lie
of the man who said he got prosperity
through voting for Bryan four years
ago, but a campaign lie of the brand
issued by the Plymouth Reporter, sup
posed1y on the authority of Mr.. Weisse.
arouses our sincerest sympathies. Says
the Reporter: Large numbers of
laboring people in Sheboygan, Keno
sha and other Wisconsin cities are
anxiously looking for the Hanna
Mckinley full dinner pail"
The Sheboygan Telegram has COM
p1etely refuted the statement as to
Sheboygan. 1t has not a vestage of
truth as to Kenosha. In fact, the diff
Guilty here is to find men. There has
never before in the history of the city
been a time when SO many 1aborers
have been employed in the city at as
good wages as at the present time.
The total pay roll of the manufacture
ing industries Of Kenosha for the
week ending Oct. 10 1900 was the 1arg-
est inthe history of the city.
A statement from the Simmons
Manufacturing company, published IN
the EVENING News of Sept. 49, showed
that the company has increased the
number of it's employees 800 per cent,
and their wages 40 per cent. These
figures do not include the general
officers, travelling statesmen nor COM
mission men of the institution.
Moreover the Simmons company has
increased it's payroll since the publica
ton of this statement.
A statement from the Balm Wagon
Works shows that the company has in
creased it's number of employees fully
so per cent, and the average wages
more than 40 per cent.
Complete statistics are not just now
available from Aliens Sons tannery,
but they state that wages and the
number of employees have increased
steadily for the past four years.
The same story of increased en-
p1oyes and wages is true of nearly
every institution in the city. The
unprecedented payroll of Oct. Is is
striking evidence.
These facts go to show that vastly
greater number of men are being en-
p1oyed in the manufactures of Keno
sha than four years ago. No man able
and willing to work need long remain
idle in this city The story of the
Plymouth Reporter is wholly and en-
tirely false as to Kenosha and as
ridiculous as it is false.

SENATOR WHITEHEAD impresses one
strongly with his earnestness, SINGER
ity aud common sense. That he
speaks from deep conviction is evident
IN every word and every gesture.
There is nothing of the demagogue
about him. His hearers are convinced
at once that what he says is the result
of honest thought and genuine feeling.
He does not speak with affectatlon.
He gives no critic opportunity to ques-
ton his sincerity. He is wholesome,
without sham, appeals to the best there
is in man, and has the confidence and
thorough respect of his auditors at
once.
His speech at the Rhode opera house
Monday evening was an evidence of
all of this. 1t was plain, direct and
earnest, the expression of conviction;
not an appeal to passion, discomfort
and hatred, but challenge to reason,
patriotism and good will. In "a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the. people," the common
sense of the people becomes the spon
sor of it's interests.
In Senator Whitehead's address the
questions of the day, unassisted by
stirring periods, unsupported by i'm
FASHIONED appeals for redress of imag-
ined wrongs, were made to grapple with
the cool Judgment of the people, and the
issue proved that the problems of the
day, great as they are, are not too much
for the mind of the day, and that com
mon sense is not bafled nor mis1ed by
Mr.. Bryan's threats nor Mr.. Bryan's
dire foretodings.

WHAT is truth? The erring PLATE
asked that question, but would not
stay for answer. History repeats it
self. Mr.. Bryan is asking that same
question today, and, like PLATE, will
not stay for an answer. Mr.. Bryan
will not face the questions of the day
square1y. He is unwilling to treat the
issues of this campaign on their merits
He makes assertions, challenges refu-
tation. and closes his ears to the an
swer, Mr.. Bryan is afraid of truth,
afraid of facts, afraid of the calm, un-
pre- JUDGED common sense of the peo-
pie. If Mr.. Bryan felt his position to
be sound would he fear these things?
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan made his campaign
on one issue, free silver. In 1900 he
made the reiteration of that policy the
condition of his accepting the nomina-
ton. If Mr.. Bryan felt convinced of
the safety, practicability and vital I'M
portance of his free silver policy, would
he re1egate it to the most inconspicuous
place in his PLATFORM; would he have
kept it from his speeches in an attempt
to withhold it from the scrutiny of the
people? If Mr.. Bryan believed that
militarism and imperialism threatened
the country, would he evade the truth
and seek to hide facts under misstate-
ments and extravaganza? If he
thought that the position of Mr.. Nc
Kin1eY and the Republican party was
so open to criticism, so Numerically
opposed to the principles of the consti-
tuition and the traditions of the nation,
would he divert from it the relentless
investigation of the calm, common
sense of the people by attempting to
arouse prejudice and passion to run
away with reason?
In fact, it is not the position of MI.
Mckinley and the Republican party,
but that of Mr.. Bryan that is illogical,
inconsistent, and, we are forced to be-
1ieve, insincere. Mr.. Bryan's position
is weak, untenab1y weak. He has not
that wherewith to approach the SUI
preme tribunal of the peoples dispas-
sionate judgment. His only hope is in
the emotional, reckless e1oquence that
un1ooses passion and shackles reason.
But the disposition of Americans,
nurtured by American institutions,
is too much dominated by good sense
and thoughtfulness to long sustain
the pitch of emotion necessary to elect
Mr.. Bryan. There will come reac-
ton, a receding wave of American
good sense, that will overwhe1m Mr..
Bryan and vindicate American citizen
ship.

British Premier Rsaliz's Chance highlands

New York, March IA The Journal

"Presid, nts Kruger and Sleyn have

they expected Lord Salisbury to con-

mean war, for England would allow
no such Interference in what she re-
