SILVER THE REAL ISSUE C. C. Fulton Quotes Senator Hoar Joho Fox Quotes MacaoUy Bryan Talks Too Much. A reporter for ihe Astorian had an Interview yesterday 'with four of the leading Republicans of this city !n ref erence to the few remarks which Mr. Bryan made tn Indianapolis last Wed nesday. When asked to state his opinion of Mr. Bryan's terse speech. Mr. John Fox. collector of the pert, said: "Mr. Bryan Is .naking a serious mis take in this campaign, and that Is to think that people are really going to tak him seriously. Four years ago, he was tourlnpr the country making numerous, lurid speeches on the sil ver standard, and admonishing his lis teners that unless such a ratio as he proposed were enacted it would mean the disintegration and corruption of these United States. He reiterated several times that this was the para mount issue, that it towered head and shoulders above every other question under discussion. Why is it that this year he Is so silent as regards this most momentous feature of the cam paign?' I shall be charitable and as cribe his reason for switching to bis sudden Increase of knowledge. But still there -emains the bugbear, one might almost say. bug-a-boo. of this gentleman's tendency to what is called In newspaper parlance 'the yellow. In other words, Mr. Bryan Is one of those men whj appeal to the feelings of a crowd rather than to their reason, and I believe that this is the very cause of his defeat in 1S96, and the main rea-1 son why he cannot be' our next presi dent. Personally I lo not believe that anyone. Irrespective of party, will Im pute dishonesty or any other motive, ulterior to that of success, to Mr. Bry an: but four years ago he came out flat-footed for his 16 to 1 nightmare, and I cannot see why he has so sud denly changed his tactics before he Bees the completion of his wild, fantastic apparition. I believe that Mr. McKin ley will be elected by an overwhelming majority; in fact. I think that he will defeat Mr. Bryan by a still larger number of popular votes than was the case in 189." "Do you believe that were Mr. Bry an to be elected, business catastrophes would occur?" he was asked. "In answer to that Question, you can learn my views oest by referring to lhat famous quota tlnn from Macatnay's 'American Commonwealth: 'The time may come In the United States when a multitude of people, oppressed by hard times, will be called upon to choose rulers. On one side will stand a states man preaching patience, respect for vested rights, nd strict observance of the public faith. On the other side will stand a demagogue, ranting about the tyranny of usurpers and capitalists. Let us hope that if such a season of adversity ever comes, the American Na tion will not act like people who would in a year of scarcity devour all the seed corn and thus make the next year a year, nof of scarcity, but of absolute want. " ) BP.YAN TALKS TOO MUCH. . Mr. James W. Welch said: "Mr. Bryan's talk of Wednesday would have been all right If he had said It one word at a time and very slowly. But such a Jumbling together of nonsensical charges; such misinterpretations of the doctrines of the Republican party have never before proceeded from the mouth of any candidate, other than a man using demagogic utterlngs In order to influence the feelings of a crowd" rather than their Intelligence. Mr. Bryan's charge of imperialism, or. as he might want to put it, 'the arraignment of the Republican administration on a charge of rank treason to the old-fashioned doctrines of Americanism,' is all popy cock. There is no more danger of's'uch a growth In this country under the regime of the Republican party than there is of the world- coming to an end tomorrow. I think lhat. Mr. Bry an' IS wrong' In fev'ery one of his utter ances, except the one inveighing against trusts, and still. In view of the recent exposures of the mal-admlnlstratlon of the mayor of the city of New Tork, I do not see where he 'has any kick on the lower Columbia. coming.' It seem to me all nonsense to say that uncLr Mr. McKinley's ad ministration every doctrine, every standard, ewry essence of Americanism has been subverted to further the mean and paltry end of that gentleman's party. "I have heard it said that were Mark Hanna to die, there would be no pres ident This is nothing but rot. Is thf re anyone inane- enough to think that because the man was elected to a position of permanent chairman of the Republican national committee, and re cently re-elected, that he is the boss of the party? I admit that he Is one of the shrewdest politicians among the Republicans, but Mr. McKlnley is as far from being ruled by his dictation as is Mr. Bryan by Mr. Richardson or Mr. Jones. "And as regards the charge of Im perialism, to revert to that subject, we are in no danger from that OUease. The word Is one that has been used again and again by the Democratic party to catch the Ignorant, unthinking Mter, and I must say It has been successful. One thing more that I would like to say Is. does Mr. Bryan think that the proposed regime In North Carolina, where the negro will soon be disfranchised. Is In accord with his oft-expressed utterance that 'a true government derives its Just powers from the consent of the gov erned? And I should also like to know if he upholds Mr. Tllman. from South Carolina, when he says: 'Yes, we stuf fed the ballot boxes, shot the niggers, and we're proud of it." In view of the remark It Is very amusing to me to see the Democratic party pose as the friend of the oppressed, the champion of the rights of the Filipino, and to hear them howl about our permitting the Sultan of Sulu to keet up slavery, where It has been maintained from the begin ning. I believe that the best thing to do In answer to all of Mr. Bryan's ar guments, however, is to say, "Walt un til November the 8th, and then we'll answer you. " SILVER REALLY PARAMOUNT. Judge Frank J. Taylor spoke as fol lows: "I am of the opinion that the election of Mr. Bryan to the presi dency would be very detrimental to the best Interests of the country, and would probably result In a financial panic. Mr. Bryan is the most conspic uous living exponent of free and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one. The Democratic platform reads. 'The Importance of oth er questions now pending before the American people' (Including the money question, of course) 'is In no wise di minished, and the Democratic party takes no backward step from Its po sition on them, but the burning issue of Imperialism involves the very ex istence of the Republic, and the de struction of our free institutions. We regard It aa the paramount Issue of the campaign.' Notwithstanding this declaration. Mr. Bryan refused to be a candidate for the presidency unless a specific declaration in favor of free silver was Inserted In the platform. He made no such demand for any other plank, thereby making the financial question the paramount issue, not withstanding declarations to the con trary. The American people are decid edly against 16 to 1, and I think they will so record their votes In the coming election. "I do not think that our tariff is the father of all the trusts," was his an swer to a question put to him. "Trusts exist regarding products which are not protected by any tariff restriction, and they exist in free trade England. If is possible that some trusts are formed In this country owing to the high pro tection afforded certain article. But when such Is ascertained to be the case. Its remedy is easily found by re moving the tariff. The sole action of the Democratic party In opposition to the trusts lies In making platforms, thinking thereby to catch the votes of the laboring classes. Recently Mr. Bryan advocated a constitutional amendment giving the general govern ment power of legislating regarding trusts. Shortly thereafter, a resolution amending the constitution of these United States was Introduced In con gress. The Republicans voted for It, and the Democratic partisans against it, thus showing their sincerity In their professions." HOAR ON BRYAN. Mr. G. C. Fulton, when Interviewed, said: "The best answer that I can give to your question of what I think of Mr. Bryan's fcpeech, Is embodied in Mr. Hoar's remarks before the senate regarding that gentleman. I am very busy and you will have to excuse me from -eaylny more." The . quotation reals as rouows: x cannot look witn favor upon Mr. Bryan aa an alterna tive. I cannot believe that there is anything to hope for from his election Upon all other questions than Imper ialism be announces no single doctrine, prlnplple, or purpose which has In it anything either of prosperity or safety to the Republic. And I cannot forget that when It waa attempted to defeat the J'arls treaty, or at lewst to compel n amendment which, If It had bevn done, would have put the Philippine Islands upon the same footing with Cu ba. woulJ have prevented the war, and would have presrv?d our national doc trines of liberty and our ancient policy, It was due to Mr. Bryan, more than to any oth?r man, after the treaty loft the hands of the ptvaldont, that the attempt was frustrated. Unless he Is much mlsreprtwnted he us?d all his power nnJ Influence with those of his friends who were ready to listen to his counsel to secure the ratification of that treaty "(From Senator Hoar' Speech. April 17. 10.) EAST PROSTRATED nY HEAT. Philadelphia. New York and Chlnnjro Scorched by High Temperatures.

Mantle wiys in effect that tho silver question is dead and that It has oe-?n practically aban doned by the Democrats. "To my mind. ' raid he, "the para mount issue today Is the issue of main taining the honor and dignity of the Nation and the s-tDM-mncv of the flag wherever it is rightfully floating, or of throwing d l'.vn mir arms, eravenly hoisting the white flag and admitting to the world that we are incapable of solving problems which confront us."

Those countries which are waiting their chance to secure new possession are wntchlng not only Chi na in the Far East. Should China fall to successfully oppose western Invaders. Japan may have her Inde. pendence threatened. Thus China and Japan stand cn the same footing. We stand on the same footing.
