Plainly Put.

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith, who Is favorite with West Vir-
glnians rs n campaign speaker, in his
speech at the Republican rally In New
York the other evening. gave n very
plain exposition Of the Bryan peril that
| threatened this country In 1896. Great
us would have been the shock caused
by Bryan's election four years ago" said
he, "hls success now would produce
far greater CONFUSION? Do they UNDER
stand that, II there was reason for ap-
prchension then, there Is double reason
for alarm now? Why? Because we
have so much more to lose. Because
we have so much farther to fall. Be-
cause we should be plunged to the same
depths from n far higher level. You
fall from the second story and you are
In danger of broken neck. You fall
from the top of n sky-scrapar, and you
are certain OF It," Continuing, Mr..
Smith said:
ut Is time that business men and
workingmen everywhere fully realized
TINS truth. IN 1876 we were already on
n low level. Four years Of hard times
and low prices and widespread bank
ruptcy had Frustrated business and
paralyzed industry. Recall n few evil
dences. The exchanges OF the clearing
houses OF the country measure the VOL.
ume OF trade. Instead OF growing rs
they ought to do year by year, they
had declined from 1892 during the sue
ceeding years of depression more than
onc-qunrter. More than two million
worklngmen were Idle. Most OF those
who had work Ind 1t only on short time
and low wages. Mills were stopped and
soup-houses opened. The deposits In
savings banks were reduced, showing
that deposltors were drawing on their
savings to make up the loss Of earn
ings. Tho annual consumption OF wheat
In this country fell on over two bushels
per head, showing that empty pocket
books We're followed by empty stom-
nchs. The loss In railroad values alone
was more than two thousand million
dollars. The total loss Of that period of
panic and depression WINS MS great Ms
that involved In the civil war;"

MONACO % Ra!lroad Employer.

In tho September issue OF the North
American Review. Dir. ingalls, has an
article on the presidential campaign, In
which he states the reasons why be, n
Democrat. will vote for Mckinley. As
coming from Mr. Ingalls,, gentleman
who has successfully carried large re-
sponslblllties for many years. and who
has made for himself distinguished
position In the railroad world, the ar
ticle Is OF especial interest to railroad
men. Mr.. ingalls, makes some very
wise suggestions which are certain to
have o good influence on voters and on
those who help to make public opinion:
Now, us in 1895, the real issue is the
silver danger. That is the peril threat
ening this country, not the imaginary
evils attendant on the acquisition Of
new territory. $3.50 The coming
test OF the silver question at the polls
must in all human probability be the
final one"
4 1t Is beyond belief that q majority Of
our people, or even q great minority can
be diverted from this real issue and
can vote to bring upon the nation the
misfortunes and the dangers Of de-
based currency. Imperialism lisa poor
make-shlft to conceal the real purposes
OF Bryan. and what would have hap
pened to the railroads II he had forced
the free coinage Of silver on the coun-
try cannot be estimated. But the pros
perity which Mckinley brought to this
branch Of industry is convincing. Ac-
cording to the official report Of the In
ter-stats Commerce Commission It is
shown that during the two years ending
June 30, 1888, before the effects Of the
Cleveland administration could be felt.
there was riso in the average wages
paid and an increase each year in the
number Of persons employed in almost
every class Of railway employees.
During each Of the four years follow
Ing, or the years ending June 30. 1894.
1895. 1896 and 1887, the wages were lower
In almost every class. and fewer per-
sons were employed than during the
last year Of Harrison's administration.
In fact. from June 80. 1893, to June 80.
1894. there was n decline Of nearly
100000 In the number Of railway en-
ployes.
During 1898 the return OF. prosperity
was apparent all along the line. In al

Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance.

Governor Roosevelts letter of ae-
ceptance Is exceptionally modest, but
confidently firm In tone: and, although
brief, covers all the issues before the
American people to-day In terse and
admirable manner His iden OF the
front that the Republican party should
present to the people is one that should
admit OF no equivocntion. Eve must
show" he says. ''In fashion incapable OF
being misunderstood that the American
people. at the beginning OF the twen-
eieth century. face their duties in n
calm and serious spirit: that they have
no intention Of permitting folly or law
lessness to mar the extraordinary ma
terial well-being which they have at
talned at home. nor yet Of permitting
their flag to be dishonored abroad"
That really summarizes the Republican
platform In most comprehensive par
agraph, and is SO plain In It's exposition
of the principles OF the Republican
! party that he who runs may read.
Governor Roosevelt dlssects the
shams of the Kansas City platform In n
mastery manner, and speaks with In
spired wisdom OF the difficult problems
that confront US to-day.
In speaking of trusts he says that
no good whatever Is suhserved by In
discriminate denuncntlon OF corpora
lions generally. and OF oil forms OF in.
dustriai combinn ton In particular; and
when this public dcnuncintIon Ia ac-
companied by private membership In
the great corporations denounced, the
effect Is. OF course. TO give IN mir OF In
! sincerity to the whole movement" This
trims the sails OF the representative OF
the silver trust, who is the Democratic
candidate for President. and the chief
protngonfats of the Democratic party in
New York who nrc the master minds OF
the Ubiquitous Ice trust. Governor
Roosevelt, while concrding there are
real abuses. md that there Ia ample
reason for striving to remedy these
abuses. maintains that n crude or m.
considered effort to remedy them would
either be absolutely without effect or
csc would simply do damage.

Colonel Davis Is running upon a plat
form that demands the six things his
questioner wants him to answer in the
negative. and yet they are six things he
fought to maintain. especially the tariff
