HARD TIMES ITEMS
NEEDED BY BRYAN.
Adversely Of Oilers Will Be Welcome
News TO Democrats.

"Wanted--Hard times items" is
"Help Wanted" ad Bryan oaght to put
in the newspapers to aid him in his la
borious search for instances Of indus
trial and commercial distress. Probably
nothing would more please him just now
than to hear of workingmen in the coun-
try whose dinner pals are not full.
In his speech in Milwaukee he gloated
over the fact that a dock man in New
Haven had discharged some employees,
that pig iron production is less now than
at the high point of last year, and that
Massachusetts cotton mill men are said
to be thinking of reducing wages.
After exploiting on these items. he said
exulting1y: Even the prosperity that
the Republican party has boosted OF has
not reached all the people. and even that
which we have is on the decline"
The reason Bryan is so anxious 10
know OF misfOrtunes Detailing working
men Is because he fears that they will
perversely consider the maintenance OF
their present prosperity TO be the para
mount" issue with them instead OF 'im-
perialism." IL some great calamity could
only happen TO the workingmen between
now and election time it would perhaps
make Il really sound plausible to say
that there Is no prosperity now; there
fore maintenance OF prosperity Is not the
Issue, 30 you can vote for me and Agui-
naldo."

ANOTHER PARAMOUNT ISSUE
Mistaken.

He said: "You shall not toss
Mankind upon cross
or shining gold"
Nor press his brow with thorns,
Nor tread upon his corns
When he is DID,"
He said: mo fires will burn,
No wheels, no spindles turn,
Without my hand
Is at the nations helm;
Dictator of the realm
Chief of the band"
He said "the metal white
Is strictly in the fight
Il lugged it I'M.
We're ON free silver bent.
Without the worlds consent
And 1t will win"
The voters heard him shout,
Then straightway went about
To give him fits;
They said 1--WE want no stuff
Half money and half bluff.
A dollar worth four bits"
II took his breath away
When the people had their say
In NOV.
But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be skinned;

Prosperity for Wheat Growers

When the Democrats were experiment.
ing with free trade in the United State
the consumption OF wheat was 81 bush
els per capita. That was In 1894. In
1899, under the Mckinley administration,
the consumption was 5.95 bushels per
capita. This is ample demonstration to
the farmer as TO how prosperous manu-
featuring interests bring prosperity to the
wheat grower,

such matters within the discretion of
the physician.

"But all the same," the physician
concluded, "there should be such a
law. 1t has been operative for quite a
while in some of the more progressive
northern states, and as the result of it
medical science has been advanced
considerably. 1 would like to see it
apply to every section of the country.
You understand, of course, that it
would not mean post mortem in the
case of every death. 1t would hardly
call for more than two post mortems in
a hundred deaths. 1t would only be
desirable when the physician has rea-
son to believe that some valuable
scientific fact is to be ascertaiped."

Rrynn on ConI md WnnI-

There have been many inquiries at
Republican national headquarters as to
Mr.. Bryan's record in congress on tariff
legislation. The record is perfectly
plain and simple. Mr.. Bryan supported
and voted for every free trade bill that
came before congress while he was a
member. In a speech on the Wilson
tariff bill Jan. 13, 1894, he opposed the
duty on coal as indefensible. In an
other speech he declared in favor of
free wool and said that he did not care
whether free wool would benefit or
hurt the woolgrowers. On Feb. 1,
1894, he voted for the Wilson bill, In
Guiding free coal and wool After the
senate bill putting a duty on coal had
been accepted by the house he voted
for the special bill putting coal on the
free list. He was a member of the
ways and means committee that re-
ported these bills and was one of their
most active supporters in congress.
Smyrna times., 1900-10-24

American wages which he did not re-
ceive before, that is honor enough for
me. What we want in this country is
a policy that will give to every Ameri-
can workingman full work at Amerl-
can wages"
Opposed to LRbOr's Degradation.
The keynote of President McKinley'S
public career was struck in an address
to the workingmen at Homestead, Pa,
on Sept. II, 1896, as follows:
II have always been, as you know,
in favor of a protective tariff. 1 have
always advocated it and believe in il.
because 1 think it is necessary to pro-
tect the American wOrkingman against
the cheaper labor of the old world.
Applying that great principle, 1 am in
favor of protecting today the laboring
men of the United States against a de-
graded currency. 1 am opposed to
free trade because it degrades Ameri-
can labor; am opposed to free silver
because it degrades American money"
Finally, in his letter of acceptance,
dated Sept. 8, 1900, occurs President
McKinley's celebrated apothegm, For
labor n short day is better than a
short dollar; one will tighten the bur-
dens, the other lessons the rewards of
toll"
Smyrna times., 1900-10-24
Business Argument For Mckinley.

Mr.. ]. Howard Cowperthwait. a
prominent New York business man,
writes as follows to the New York
Times: 1T is not necessary to prove
that Bryan. if elected. would be able
to put us on n silver basis. The clear
headed man of affairs does not place
in position of trust an untrustworthy
person. thus relying solely upon the
safeguards surrounding the position.
On the contrary, it is usual to select
trustworthy persons. no matter how
safely guarded the position may be.
and it is hardly reasonable to suppose
that practical men will vote to put into
the position of very highest trust the
man who most certainly desires to dis
honor the position and the country.
when certain of our professional
friends tell us that Bryan could do no
harm, we are reminded of the old
story of the man who had to insist that
he actually was arrested, his profess
sional adviser insisting that he could
not be. But business men who recall
the effect of the financial discussion
and prevalence of doubt as to the sta
bility of our standard of value during
the years preceding the election of
1896 are not bothering their heads over
the possibilities or impossibilities of
the future under Bryan. 1t is quite
enough for them to know now that the
election of Mr.. Bryan would be the
signal for a renewal of doubt and dis
cussion and questiOnings as to the sta.
bility of the gold standard.
'The business world pays due re-
spect to its professional advisers and
will be glad to have them settle the
question as to whether silverism is le
gally dead or not. but it has to bear in
mind the prOverbial timidity of capital
aud therefore decides that silverism. II

ought to be covered by an avalanche"

Southern Cotton Mills.

Notwithstanding the falling off in
the export OF the coarser and cheaper
cotton fabrics on account of the inter
ruption of trade with China. there is
evidence Of n continued increase of
cotton mills in the south. Reports for
the month of September show that six
new factories. five in Georgia and one
in North Carolina, were on the point Of
completion. They represent an invest
ment Of $735.OO0 and contain a total
Of 10000 spindles and S61 looms. Be
sides these. II other mills are projected
and under way, which will cost over
$1,O00.OOO and have a capacity of 5s,-
600 spindles.

was taken. subsequently announced IN

Twelve Democrats and POpulists voted
against the bill. while 20 voted for 1t,
thus giving in its support much more
than a majority of the senate members
of the parties now supporting Mr.. Bry-
an. When the bill went to the house,
the Democratic and POpulist support
was even stronger, the vote in that
body standing 2O3 yeas to 33 nays, the
opposition not being sufficiently strong
to even command yea and nay vote.
MIR. Suffers Appeal.
When it came up for final action in
that body, Representative Sulzer of
New York, one of Mr.. Bryans most
ardent supporters, speaking of the bill
said:
81 am in favor of it and shall do all can to
pass it. Fifty-ive members of the senate voted
for it, and only l3 voted against it. We
will be dereict to fidelity to the Democrats
in the other branch of the legislature if we now
impede or defeat this bill. trust that every
Democrat who sympathizes with the men in arms
at Manila, with soldiers and sailors in the
Philippines, will uphold, at this critical moment,
the hands of the president and give him the
power vested in him by the terms of this bill.

is only temporary. There is nothing permanent
about it. 1t simply meets the present emergency.
This bill do no harm. 1t becomes

1901. . hope the members Of the house will
realize how important it is to pass this bill. ltI
failure would be a calamity, affront tC

how o Republican Democrat can consistently
vote against it. 1t gives the president all the
men he wants to meet the present emergency, anC
at the time it does not increase the standing
army a single man. After July l, 1901. by virtu'
of this bill the regular army will be just the SAINT
as it was before the war was declared with Spain
BY that time let us hope the country will be a
peace with all the world and the insurrecton il
the Philippines thing of the past. This is nj
time to be captious. This is time to spill
hairs play small politics. We should do ou
duty; we should do what is right, and the peopl
| will Judge us accordingly"
The above is a plain statement re
garding the temporary increase in the
army upon which Mr. Bryan builds his
entire bogy of "militarism." Every
statement given above is from Officia
records, entirely accessible to him. anC
with all of them he must be familiar Il
he is fit to be presidential candidate
Can it be possible that he is doing wha
Representative Sulzer above describes
as playing small politics?"
