POLITICAL COERCION.
t Our Popocratic friends . all over
. the land have been claiming that
laborers will be coerced. They have
no proof on which to base the asser
tion, and the whole thing is abso
lutely false and. without foundation
As a matter of fact, in most of the
northern states the election laws are
such that coercion ' of voters is
attempts to influence voters by
threats or bribery is made a crime,
and no employer would dare take
-chances of bieakmg the law. It is
well . known everywhere that em
plovers of corporations and manu
facturers aie not united, and men of
both parties wear their party buttons
openly and without fear. . In our
own city, in Portland and every
where else there are Bryan men
among the employes of railroads,
express companies and manufacturing
companies ; they wear Bryan badges
and are members of Bryan clubs.
It is no doubt true that the McKin
ley men are in the majority among
these employes, but they are Repib
licars from choice.
In the case of the railroad men's
sound money club of Portland, it
was organized at the suggestion of
others than railroad managers, and
we venture to say the same thing is
everywhere true. No doubt the em
ployers of men in both parties, who
take an interest in the result of the
campaign, seek to influence their
men to vote their way, but they
know that the influence must be per
suasion, and not coercion.
.United States Judge Caldwell of
Omaha has recently declared that he
will redress any laborer who is dis
charged because of his political
choice by any railroad company
under the jurisdiction- of his court;
and so would any judge having au
thority so to do.
The whole talk is simply and pure
ly a campaign fake. Possibly Bryan
is now preparing . to have an excuse
for his defeat,' and starts this story
in anticipation.' He will need, a lot
of excuses for the defeat will certain
ly be a terrible one.
Mr. Geer, who is a farmer and
earns his living from a 320 acre
farm in Marion ; county, presented
the political questions from a 'Re
publican standpoint at the Baldwin
opera house last night to an audience
composed largely of farmers. His
argument was plain, clear and con
vincing. The absurdities of free
silver were so presented as to make
those who supposed the proposition
was based upon some principle see
the fallacy. He abused no one, but
no one who listened to him could
fail to see through the tissues which
the Populists present as reasons for
the election of Bryan. If a man
will not be convinced by this kind
of reasoning, there is no hope for
him.
. The electoral votes of the follow
ing states will be
cast for McKinley :
Connecticut. . .T. 6
New Hampshire. 4
New Jersey 10
New York .'. 36
Ohio 23
Oregon , . 4

The following states are doubtful :
California 9 'South Dakota... 4
Kansas 10 Wyoming 3
Kentncky 13 Marvland ... 8
Virginia 12 North Dakota.. . 3
Washington 4
Total 66
We believe McKinley is sure of
248, or a majority of 49, with a pos
sible 314, or a possible majority of
181. . :
Farmers Want Cheap Money.
The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south "don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
"contends" that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to $1.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as mnch as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti
ments of these people are clearly ex
pressed by James Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, Ky.,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
I am for free silver because 1 am in debt,
and if we get free coinage I can pay my debts
with one-half of what it now costs under our
present money standard. And another reason,
I employ laborers on my farm. Thoy are the
creditors. 1 am the debtor. Under free coin
age I can pay them with; one-half it costs me
now, for it wilf raise the price 'of products,
and I can then hire my farm help for 00 cents
a day and pay them in bacon at 15 cents a
pound. . ,
It must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri
can people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.: '
Andrew Jackson Versus W. J. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan says a cheaper dollar
would be better for the working classes,
bnt Andrew Jackson, said in his last
message: "Engaged from day to day in
their useful toils, they do not perceive
that, although their wages are nominally
the same or even somewhat ' higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact, by
the -rapid increase of a spurious cur
rency,' which, as it appears to make
money abound, they are at first inclined
to consider a blessing. It is not
until the prices of the necessaries of life
become so dear that the laboring classes
cannot supply their;wants ont of their
wages that their wages rise. "
The Declaration of Independence
Was written by the man who said,
"Just principles will lead us to disre
gard legal proportions altogether, to
inquire into the market price of gold in
the several countries with which we
shall principally be connected in com
merce and to take an average from
them." But W. J. Bryan says it is dis
graceful to talk about adjusting our
currency to the currencies of the world.
