BUNCO STEERING.

There is no doubt but that Mr.. Bryan is
very sore man; and he has right to be
indignant at the treatment he is receiving
at the hands of the Democratic party.
The effort it is making to shift upon him
the whole responsibility for the Chicago
platform and the extreme issues that were
raised in the free silver campaign is
cowardly and treacherous. He had but
little to do with the making up of the con-
vention which assembled at Chicago in
1896, and that convention was thoroughly
imbued with the sentiments which made
the wild platform it adopted necessary
consequence rather than an incident. Mr..
Bryan was only astute enough to recog'
nizs the spirit that dominated the assem-
bly,, grasp the situation and dramatically
cast himself to the front as its leader The
convention was representative body of
the National Democracy, the entire South
ern delegation, that from Virginia includ-
ed, being earnest apostles of free silver.
John w. Daniel was temporary chairman
of the convention, and Carter Glass was
a member of the platform committee.
In a Democratic meeting at Urbana,
Ohio, on the 4th inst, Mr.. Bryan made
speech and gave some expression to the
bitterness he is feeling at the treacherous
conduct of his fellow Democrats. His re-
ference to Mr.. Cleveland was especially
severe. He said:
1.-The Democrats in 1892 played conf.
dence game on the people and put bunco
steerer at the head of tue party. l want
to say to you, my friends, that the disrupt
able man who stands on the street curbing
and leads the unwary traveller into game
where he loses his money is respectable
compared with the man who accepts the
suhrages of five millions of people and
then leads them into Wall Street to be be.
trayed"
Tnis caustic reference to Mr.. Cleveland
may not be in good taste, but it represents
the esteem in which he was held by bis
party at the time it selected Mr.. Bryan as
its leader. There was not a Democratic
speaker on the stump in Virginia in 1896
WHO did not say as bitter things and who
would not foam at the mouth with rage
at the mere mention of the name of Gro
yer Cleveland. This hatred for the then
President was almost universal with the
National Democracy, and especially with
the party at the South.
Since it has been made manifest that
the Democracy is again willing to be led
by "bunco steerer," if he can lead them
to place and power, is it any wonder that
Mr.. Bryan is provoked and disguised.

Is South America Against US?
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Argentine, Chile, and Brazil, according
to one of Liml's newspapers which is usu'
ally supposed to voice the views of Peru's
executive, have entered into an alliance,
and that league as, the paper referred to
intimates, is directed against tie United
States. If there is ally such combination
it is much more likely to be aimed at
countries nearer nome. There are Para
quay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Peru. All of
those countries, at one time and another
in recent years, have according to reports
from South America, been tempting the
cupdity of some OF their big neighbors.
There il no good reason why any nation
in South or Central America should be
hostile to the United States. 1t is well
to remember, hoNever that Chile has
shown an unfriendly spirit toward us more
than once since the days, dozen, years
ago, during the administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison. when many Of the popu-
lace of Valparaiso assailed, some of the
crew of the United States vessel Baltimore
and killed several of them, which act
compelled the Chilean government to rem
der reparatlon. In some of the Chilean
Argentine papers last winter there were
expressions of distrust for the United
States in regard to the power which we
would obtain on the isthmus when we got
the Panama Canal. These manifestations
of jealousy did not attract any especial at
tention here then, but it might be ad.
visable to keep them in mind.

From Plus |. 10 Plus X.

New York Tribune.
A newly elected Pope takes the name
of some predecessor whose character OF
career has particularly impressed him as
worthy of emulation. 1t may be any
predecessor of the name, however, and
not, as some seem enormously to suppose,
the latest one. Plus X, THEREFORE, may
be expected to cherish the example not nee
essarily of Plus TX, but of any one of the
nine who have gone before. Presently
we may know which one he has in mind.
For the moment that is unknown. The
first Plus was martyr and is enrolled
among the saints; the second, Piccoomini
was great Scholar the third vas Pope
for only three weeks; the fourth, Medici,
was the founder of the Vatican press; the
fifth, Ghisleri, was man of great piety
and energy, and is now canonized; the
sixth was dethroned by Bonaparte and
was deposed; the seventh crowned Bona
parte as Emperor, accommodated him
and made Concordat with him; the eighth
had brief and insignificant reign; the
ninth began as a Liberal and ended as
Conservative, promulgated tie doctrine of
infallibility, lost the temporal power and
made himself the first prisoner of the
Vatican" Among these is ample range
of precedent, both suspicious and ominous
for the latest Pontif of that name. 1t
will be earnestly desired, and may well be
that one of the best of these
examples will be emulated by Plus X,

THE POOR MANS WEALTH.
Richmond Times Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dlspatcn'
During the past seven years the rich
have been growing richer, but it would
appear from the report of the savings
banks that the poor have been growing
richer also.
In 1908, according to figures which we
have recently seen, the number OF deposi-
tors in the savings banks of the United
States was 6,666.672, and the aggregate
deposits $3.50, 900. Az compared
with 1896, this is an increase in the num-
Der of depositors of 1901 ,672, or thirty
per cent. in seven years, while the increase
in deposits is $S43, III 900, or forty per.
cent.
We say that this is in evidence that the
poor have been growing richer because
the savings banks are largely used by men
of small means who use these banks to
save up their surplus earnings. The
Southern people are MT as thrifty as the
people of the North, for they have been
raised in a different school, but they are
learning the lesson more and more as
shown by the increase in the number of
savings banks in this section of the coun-
try. There has been a notable increase
in the number of such banks in the city of
Richmond and in the deposits. Our saw
ings banks are all doing well and prosper.
ing
This is the time when every man should
save everything he can. We have had
season of great prosperity, and it is not
yet over. But it cannot last forever, and
the prophets say there are some signs of
hard times 10 come. Whether go or not
the hard times will come by and by, and
when the people are all at work and max
ing fairly good wages, they should certain
ly lay by as much as possible for the IN
evitable rainy day.

GOOD MONEY.
And the Safeguard II May Bein Flnan'
ciaI Crisis.

Cial Crisis.
Cleveland Leader.
Is it not possible that the stability OF
the currency of the United States has
proved saving force during the recent
depression in Wall Street?
Heretofore any such liquidation as has
taken place within the past six months
would probably have precipitated financial
disaster. 1t is generally believed that
there would not have been such disas'
trous panic in 1893 and 1894 had the cur
rency then been upon a stable basis. 1t
was the uncertainty as to the value OF
money which caused so much trouble.
Yet within recent months there has been
constant shrinksge in the value ofstocks,
due to liquidation, and it has been unat'
tended by severe shock. Only few fall
ures have resulted and those are attrlbu'
ted in the main to speculation.
Money rules in the stock market abso'
lutely and if it is good money its rule is at
tended by less danger than it would be II
the money were of unstable value. What
money can do to avert panic was proved
when the Bank of England stepped in az
ter the failure of the Earrings in lS9O.
Thirty-seven millions of securities were
taken up and held until the trouble had
passed. Money prevented a panic IN
Germany in the late ninetles when terri
BILE depression fell upon the iron and steel
industry of that country and money saved
London year or two later after the COL
lapse of the South African mining shares
The men who control Wall Street appear
to have firm grip upon the situation and
there is every reason to believe they Will
prevent disaster following the recent
slump in stocks They have vital inter-
est in doing that very thing

As to a Kansas Harvest.
Kansas City journal.


1t is altogether probable that the work
of har resting in New York is far more
laborious than harvesting in Kansas. The
operation of a header over the level fields
of Kansas is scarcely to be compared to the
labor of binding grain on the hillsldes of
the Empire State. Furthermore, there is
nothing in labor way in either heading
or binding to compare with the toll which
fell to harvesters a generation ago. The
man who followed a self-raking reaper or
manipulated one of the old.fashioned
cradles had a job for bis money. Their
wages were often as low as 80 cents a day.
1t was seldom that the best of men re-
ceived more than 81. The simple fact Is
that harvesting with modern machinery is
an easy kind of toll. In Ellis County,
among the Russians, it Is no uncommon
sight to see an entire header crew COM
posed of women and children. Six miles
east of Hays City in the recent harvest a
l4.year.old Russian boy ran the header on
his fathers farm, his four sisters, ranging
in age from IL to 20, handle boxes; the
Old man served as stacker, and this crew
