UGLY COERCION.

That the republican campaign
tactics Of 1895 are to be repeated il
becoming more evident. Two firms
at Coatesville, Pa, one the Lukons
Iron e Steel company, encloses Taft
buttons in its employees pay envelopes.
At Anderson Indiana, the National
Tile Company, and the J. W. Soften
manufacturing company have pictures
of Taft and Sherman, placed at the pay
windows in every case, Offering a
suggestion as to the way the com
panies desire their employees to vote.
The employees, however, have become
more enlightened, and will resent the
attempts to coerse them in voting
against their own convictions.
A more fragrant abuse OF this
system, however, comes from the
Sharples Cream Separator company, OF
Chester, Pa, through its president. P.
M. Sharples. The Richmond Times
Dispatch has the following In regard
to the Sharples orders:
Mr.. P. NJ. Sharples. president OF q
West Chester, Pa !, factory, which
employs 1000 men, has posted a
placard about his plant announcing
that should the "di1o calamity" OF
Mr.. Bryan's election befal the
country, In ''that hour these works
will have to close down. We believe
that the democratic National Com
mittee recently offered S, 900 for con-
elusive evidence of an employer g
coercion against the candidacy Of MI.
Bryan. Difficult as it is to draw the
line for the purposes of the court, be-
tween legitimate notice concerning
present and future trade and deliber-
ate use of force, it would seem that
this case IS reasonably clear. Mr.:
Sharples scorns to take refuge behind
ambiguous words. He ~fran ky
threatens. "Unless you beat Bryan, -
he says, "you lose your jobs. "
This sort of bribery is more dan
gerous than the open barter and sale
of votes, because it is subtler and
harder to extermlnate. The dem
ocratic party and Mr.. Byran have
suffered heavily from it In other cam
paigns. AS weapon of political war
fare, it is peculiarly unfair and con-
temptible. As an index of commercial
sagacity, it is reflection upon any
mans intelligence. The man who
thinks that the country will 90 to the
dogs upon MIR. Bryan 8 oIecClOn neeus
treatment. The man who bases
minatory notices to his dependents
upon such reasoning should enjoy a
fools esteem or a bushwhacker 8
punishment. Mr.. Sharples' concern
man ufactures separators. His ap-
parent conception that the earth will
stop bearing grain when Mr.. Bryan
steps into the White House is pro-
foundly interesting from the point OF
view of the alienlst

DR.. A. J. Gilkinson IS making a
fine impression everywhere. He is
preaching the pure gospel of dem
ocracy and finds responsive hearers:
He would make valuable member OF
congress, not only being right on the
issues, but having the courage and
ability to maintain them. His cleo
ton would make certain member OF
congress who would not only be
against Cannonism, but against
Cannon's policies.

AGAINST Noise.

It is now an offense, punishable with
fine or Imprisonment, to make an un-
necessary noise near hospital, says
the New York World. This is an ex'
cellent beginning. Now that hospital
patients are protected, the next step
should be to secure quiet under penal
ty for citizens who are in fair way
to become hospital patients because
of an excess of noise.

In this great free country of ours,
where every voter is a sovereign, with
the right to cast his ballot as his con-
science dictates, he will in many cases
do otherwise, through coercion by his
