False Charges Of Intimidation.

The democrats, be it noticed, have not
vet given the voters any inkling as to the
manner in which the wages of labor will
be raised. the price of wheat bettered or
the trusts done away with. But they
still insist that the laborer, the farmer
and the man who has been hurt by the
trusts will be benefited by the success of
the democratic party.
Yet it is amusing to see how sometimes
unconsiously the democratic pleader
drops chunks Of wisdom. For instance
a leading exponent of democratic lack
of principle says: ut is an accepted the
DRY of economy that what one class loses
another class gains" In another place
it is stated "The wise man will vote for
his own interest" So that one can see
that occasionally CLEANS of wisdom pene-
trate the minds Of spell binders on the
democratic side. 1t has been the honest
effort of the republicans this year to show
the people of the United States where
their best interests lie. They have shown
and are showing, persistently that when
the democrats were in Office the country
went to the dogs, while under republican
administration the country has gained
foremost place among the countries of
the world.
Every one knows, for it is history, how
the bonded issue of the United States
kept creeping upward all the time until
Mckinley went into the white house.
The democratic candidate, Mr.. Bryan,
said that when country went to war
gold deserted that country. He seemed
to think, as many other democrats do,
that the matter of currency and
standing in the world was only
matter of government and that
material resources had nothing to do
with it. Precisely as the advocates of
universal peace seem to think that their
efforts have brought about a lessening Of
the frequency of wars when, asa matter
OF fact, it is the enormous expense at
teildant which acts as the greatest cooler
OF the ambition ofrulers in that direction.
When the United States went to war
Two years ago it was found that gold did
not leave us. Gold came to us. We
needed it and we got it. We had the re-
sources to back up every promise we
made and we had a people confident in
rhe ability of their country to meet its
obligatlons 1t is the confidence of the
people which makes country great.
ana by strange coincidence the conf
aence OF the people seems to be shown
best when the republican party is at the
he'm. There are too many promises
made by the democrats in direct viola
ton OF economic laws to inspire the
people with confidence.
Now, in accordance with the statement
That ut is an accepted theory of econ
omy that what one class looses another
class gains" the democrats are persistent.
~ hunting for the dissatisfied ones in the
country and prete nding to them that
'hey represent large class injured by
republican administration. 1t is well
known that many people are dissatisfied
with many things and it is easy to get a
protest at any time upon almost any sub
Ject. The democrats are very cunning
III their work. They enlarge upon the
troubles of the man whom they address
UNTIL like the reader of patent medicine
advertisements, the study of the synp-
toms has its effect. The man then filled
with the sense of wrong, as he fancies,
becomes an ardent advocate of demo
cratic success losing sight of the fact that
the democrat has not told him how his
wrongs will be remedied
VIII the voters of the country act upon
such wrong impulses? Will they vote to
elect man who promises them every
thine they ask for and does not let them
Know how he will accomplish the re-
suits promised? Can they lose sight of
the tact that Bryan promises the laborer
an increase III wages while he threatens
10 reduce the demand for wheat by
throwing hundreds of thousands of men
