IN my opinion" Mr.. Clayton went on 'it is
not sufficient for the Democrats in the next
Congress to assume an attitude of simple mega
ton and merely oppose what the Republicans
offer We must formulate an entire tariff BILL
covering every schedule from agates to zinc

schedule and ask for the ayes and noes on II IN

of Jackson and of Polk. We can do IT. II re-
quires the effort.

INTIMIDATION OF employees.

In case William Jennings Bryan is
elected president, the Sharpless sep
arator works of Westchester, Pa.
will close down for a considerable
length of time and perhaps for a
year. Notice to this effect has been
given to the employees, and, incident
ally, they were advised to turn out
to parade in honor of James S. Sher-
man, the republican candidate for
the vice presidency.
full understanding of the situa-
tion in Westchester is not to be had
without reading the information APP
pended to the dispatch, which said
that for some time 1T has been seen
that sales were not what they should
have been at this season under ordi-
nary conditions" Just what ordi-
nary conditions are is question OF
doubt. Conditions were not ordi-
nary year ago because a panic was
precipitating itself. and they were
not ordinary the year before that be-
cause prosperity was unprecedented.
However, the notice to shut down
II Bryan is the victor is a threat and
an intimidation. To meet this old
trick the democratic national COM
mittee offered some time ago a re-
ward of $4,000 for information en-
abling it to convict any manufacture
er of this form of intimidation 1t
is difficult to prove coercion within
the meaning of the existing law
which was purposely made blind. 1t
is practice, however, which is de-
spicable enough when it is insincere
and positively reprehensible when 1t
is earnest. The form of the notice"
in the case cited leaves no doubt that
IL was a threat. The management
of the plant. piqued at lack of busi-
ness prosperity and so blinded by
partisan prejudice that it cannot find
in economic conditions a cause for
poor business, makes sweeping
charge against Bryan.
Such conduct is vicious If not sin
cere, and If it is sincere it is pathetic.
