THE GREATEST ISSVE.
Attorney-General Harmon speaks
the words of truth and soberness
when he criticises Mr. Biyan's implied
promise that, if elected, he will do
nothing to maintain the authority of
the federal government until called
upon so to do by the government of
the state where the insurrection ex
ists. We quote the Attorney-General's
words:
"This is, in my judgment, a far more
serious matter than the money question
or any of the other questions now before
the people, grave as they are. Oar form
of government may survive a wrong de
cision on those questions, and the people
may endure for a time the evils which
result from false systems of finance and
taxation, but if the president has delib
erately disregarded the instrument upon
which the union is founded by supple
menting the authority of a sovereign
state by armed force, a precedent has
been made which threatens our form of
government, while if a candidate for
president pledges himself in advance, as
Mr. Bryan has done, to do nothing to
protect the property, maintain the au
thority and enforce the laws of the
United States, unless and until the
officers of another government request
or consent, then we really have no fed
eral government; for a government
which is not entirely free to use force to
protect and maintain itself in the dis
cbarge of its own proper functions is no
government at all.
"It was under the power conferred by
tbe section last named (Sec. 5298 R. S.)
that the late rebellion was suppressed.
Mr. Bryan's doctrine that this law is
unconstitutional is more dangerous than
that of secession. The latter, at least,
left the government some power and
authority in the territory which chose
to remain. Mr. Bryan's would reduce
it to the idle mimicry of tbe state.
.
"It must be that Mr. Bryan, amid the
many demands on bis time and atten
tion, has fallen into an inadvertence.
I cannot believe that he really thinks
the president has no power under the
constitution and laws to maintain the
government entrusted to his charge.
Nor can I believe that Mr. Bryan means
to promise 6r to make or permit others
to think he has promised not to interfere
it he should be elected, and the situation
of the riots of 1894 should arise during
his term. I will not lightly question
either his knowledge as a lawyer of his
sincerity as a public man. Certainly,
his letter is generally misunderstood un
less it -means either that Mr. Bryan
thinks the president haB no power, or
that he would himself not use it if
elected."
The per capita consumption of
wheat in the United States in 1 890
was 6.09 bushels; the average for
1894-5 was 3.97 bushels. With the
same per capita consumption in 1895
that we had in 1890 under a Repub
lican administration, the quantity of
wheat exported in 1895, 164,000,000
bushels, would have been consumed
at home. '
Is it well to entrust our govern
ment to the party who selected the
rulers of the. past four years? Is it
well to believe the promises of those
who four years ago promised pros
perity to the producer and manu
facturer? Is it well to place in the
White House a man who advocated
the last administration ?
Mr. Bryan's campaign is based
upon the proposition tbat the inter
ests of the laboring man aie adverse
to those of the employer of labor.
This is as absolutely false and perni
cious as was his claim four years ago
that the interests of the laborers of
this country would be best subserved
by free trade. "
From -now until election there
should be frequent public discussions
of the questions at issue in this cam
paign in every schoolhouse in the
county. The campaign of public
speaking is less active than it should
78 Second Street.
be, and this is the formation period.
What is the matter with our county
committee and our McKinley club ?
If employers of labor would go to
the silver standard today and pay
nothing but silver, as did the Carbon
Hill Coal Company in Washington a
few days ago, the free silver craze
among the laborers would vanish as
a silvery mist before the golden rays
of the sun.

from official statistics shows the dif
ference to farmers of a protective
and "free trade policy:
