THE "STAATS-zEITUYG's" VIEWS.

The Democratic hopes that the citizens of Ger
man extraction could be scared by the spectre
VI militarism into supporting Mr.. Bryan are
evidently doomed to disappointment. One by
one prominent Germans in different parts of
he country have refused TO support free silver
on any pretence, and now the "Staats-Zei-
tung,' Of this city. the most influential German
newspaper in the United States. declares for Mr..
Mckinley. The significance of this action is in
creased and not decreased by the frank state
ment OF reluctance in taking this stand
The "Staats-Zeitung" is naturally Demo
cratic paper. 1t generally supports Democratic
candidates. Only the most extreme pressure of
conviction OF public duty can bring it into al
lance with the Republican party. even when it
has no special reason for dissenting from that
partys policies. This year in addition to long
standing differences and old habits. ii found
the expansion issue a stumbling block The
''Staats-Zeitung'' has been steadily opposed 10
the holding Of the Philippines and its con-
scientiousiy held views naturally would make
il wish 20 support some other candidate than
Mr.. Mckinley If II could justify itself in doing
60. 1t says il is fully aware OF the fact that
Mr.. McKinley's election will be interpreted
and exploited as victory of Imperialism even
IF ii has been caused by the distrust OF Mr.
organs teachings and character" Yet so dan
gerous does IL regard Alr. Bryan, representing
though ne does many of its own ideas and as
pirations. that it is willing 10 help return 10
power the party with which it does not agree
and sec the result proclaimed as a popular ap-
prevail of a policy which ii deeply distrusts
Could anything testify more strongly 10 fear OF
Mr.. Bryan's free silver doctrines as serious
and present danger? When the Republican.
when the Gold Democrat who accepts expan-
sion as necessary and proper, talk OF the men
ace OF Organism their words are subject to
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-10-09

discount With them the wish may he father 10
the thought But when slowly, hardly. un-
willingly. IN spite of old and new differences OF
serious character that menace is perceived
and acknowledged, the act means something.
Such overcoming of prejudice and putting aside
OF earnestly held hopes is not achieved lightly
or without good reason and is not without
great influence.
The -Zeitung" does not delude itself
and does not mean to let its readers delude
themselves with any false hopes such as Mr.
Schurz has held out of Congress exercising
check OH Mr. BRYAN and robbing free silver of
all its dangers. In the first place there are too
many chances that popular vote carrying Mr..
Bryan into the White House would also result
in free silver majority in both branches of
Congress- Many men who are now ready 10
vote for sound money would be likely to yield
TO an expression of popular opinion and say
they had a mandate for free silver which they
could not disobey. Nor is the influence of EX-
ecutive power on legislators desiring patronage
to be forgotten. Moreover. entirely apart from
any act of Congress or even any action of the
President without legislative aid. such as Mr..
BRYAN could undoubtedly take for the over
throw of the gold standard. his mere election
would be calamity to the country. As the
'Staats-Zeitung" points out. 1.-The lack OF CON
''fidence in William j. Bryan character Is
so pronounced that his election would suffice
''to produce grave economic commissions. even
IF his hands were completely tied
We do not believe that our neighbor's fears
of imperialism" are well founded entirely
moderate though they be when put beside the
demagogic appeals of Mr.. Bryan TO class preju-
dice with his talk about 'militarism' and his
teaching of the wage earnerS that the Army is
being recruited TO enslave them. We think that
in five years its doubts will have been solved
as completely as the Wing opposition to the ac-
QUESTION of California had been dissipated by
1855 and that it will find the United States
still the same free country of its devotion In
deed it seems itself to feel that though ii dis
approves the country will not he ruined by
what it disapproves; for, all things considered,
it prefers imperialism" to Bryan. Men who do
not in the least share its views about the Phil
ippines will still respect those who hold them
so sanely and open-nindedly, and welcome
them heartily as coworkers In the task Of keep
ing the United States up TO the high plane of
prosperity and general happiness 10 which it
has come in the last four years. Now is the
time to deal the death blow TO free silver. A
country Of sound finance and stable business
can consider other questions in good time.
Plunged into panic. it can settle nothing.
