Inn i' said
Mr. Itrynn apparently si:irli'il out with
the Intention uf lisfussinu tin1 n!u:i
question its a question of putt' tilianep
and statesmanship. In his .Madison
Square Harden speech he said nothing;
which could bp construed as an appeal tu
prejudice, unless perhaps it was his dec
laration thai "there can be no sympathy
or co-operation between tin- advocates of
a universal Hold standard anil the advo
cates of bimetallism. Between baueia
lism whellier independent or internation
al and a gold standard tliere is an im
passable gull." Tin; (piestion at issue
In the present campaign Is not, as Mr.
itryan would have the public believe, be
tween bimetallism and the gold stand
ard; it Is between bimetallism and the
silver slandii'd. lint when Mr. Itryan
commenced speaking without Holes the
underline of hatred and dissension which
cliaracteri'.i s his public utterances be
gan to be distinctly audible.
My. the lime thai he reached Syracuse
he was In a frame of mind which led
him to assert that men who do not favor
silver monometallism are "enemies of
this country, who think they are greater
than the government and can make the
Kovf rutin tit tlieir Instrument for private
gain, tic grealesl enemies that lliis coun
try lias." He called them "plunderers
of the Industrial masses, in behalf ol tin
monev corporations of this country anil
Kurope."
At Krie. I'emisylviiiila. he neknowledg
ed thai he depended more upon an ap
peal to tile emotions than to tin' intellects
of Ids hearers, when he said:
"The hear; Is the place where conduct
Is determined, and If you- waul to Iind out
where a man is In this light do not look
at his brain: thai would Iind a reason for
whatever his heart wants to do. Look
at Ids, heart, and Iind out where his sym
pathies are. Show me the sym
pathies of a man and I will mark out
bis conduct. Show me a man
whoso sympathies are willi the Idle hold
ers of idle capital, and 1 will show you a
man who wants ns little money as mis
sible. and puis It on the ground that lie
loves his neighbor better than himself.
Show me a man whose sympathies are
with the smuggling masses, and I will
show you a man who will never stand
up for syndicates and consent to let ihem
control the lluancial policy of the ( lilted
States."
My thi' time that he reached I to 11'alo lie
ln-gilll to sneer al Ills oplNiliellls, us, for
instance, In the declaration thill "when
made loan, he did not use

It was here that he said:

At Toledo lie said: "A Itepublioan suc
ss would simply mean that while the
people are nominally free they will be
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for those who control the money supply
of llie world." And acain: "The people
who intend to strike down one-half of all
llie standard money of tin world simply
mean to do with you and your property
whaf the fleets of the world and the
jinnies of the world would do if they
came to destroy one-hall' of all your pos
sessions." At Milwaukee he described the present
political campaijiii as a struggle over the
(piestion whether the people will "allow
the host of llie sold standard to enslave
7i.Hl0,(MMi of people, while and black. In
this country." lie said further: "They
say that we are arrayiii; one class of so
ciety against another. 1 deny it. Hut.
my friends, if a burtrlar comes to my
home I have a ri'lit to call all my fami
ly to keep him out. and it docs not make
me mad if. when lie starts away, he
turns around and shouts to me that I mil
tt-yitiK to array my family against him.
When men array themselves acaittst so
ciety, society has a riirht to array itself
against them. The success of
the Chicago ticket is dangerous only lo
the man who wants to eat the bread
that somebody else earns."
In his speech at I.iiicolu, Nebraska, ae
ceptiliK III" nomination of llie silver Kc
pliblieans. he said: "I believe that llie
cold standard is a conspiracy anaiiis; the
human race. I would no sooner join the
ranks of those whose purpose it is to
fasten it upon the people limn enlist In an
army that was innrchiiifr to attack my
home and destroy my family."
of the election of McKinley, as to the ef
fect of the free coinage of silver at HI
to 1 niton their personal pecuniary inter
ests. On the one hand. It is claimed that
while free coinage will result in an in
crease in the prices demanded for com
modities, wages will rise in proportion,
so that a workinginan for his daily or
weekly sripend can purchase as much
comfort as he is able to purchase now.
This is the claim of the. Bryan men. The
McKinley men deny it, and Assert on the
contrary, that while wages may rise
slightly, they will not double as it is sup
posed that tile prices of commodities will:
therefore the workinginan, while he may
receive a larger sum of money In re
turn for liis labor, the money will have
less purchasing power and he will there
by receive less of comfort. His condition,
instead of being improved, will be worse
than it now is. The experience of .lapiin
since lSTIi goes to show that, the McKin
ley men have the best of the argument,
and 'this experience is confirmed by the
experience of all other countries on a sil
ver basis, in which wages and prices have
risen In consequence of the depreciation
of silver. Wages never rise in projKirtioii
to prices. For this reason the free coin
age of silver at Id to 1 would be an in
jury and not a benefit to the working-
men of the I'nited Slates.
POWDERLY AT COOPER UNION,
These extracts from Mr. Bryan's liar
rangiies give a fair idea of him as an
agitator and fomenter of popular discord
and commotion--a man who would risk
the horrors of an armed conflict between
clli,i us' of ihe republic rather than fail
of his election to the chair which lie as
pires lo occupy. It is ditlictilt to know
whether he is to lie taken seriously, lie
Is either dangerous or absurd; dangerous
If he succeeds in reaching the height of
his ambition, but absurd if lie falls of an
election.

fhe refusal of Mr. Bryan to discuss
the tariff question is causing comment
unfavorable to him. in view or tlie
fact that while in congress Mr. Bryan
was one of tlie most, radical advocates
of tariff reduction, In order to cheapen
prices for the benefit of the people,
whereas now lie is urging that prices
are too low, very naturally suggests
that he was either insincere then in
his plea for the people or he Is insi i
ccre now. Cheapness was then the
great: desideratum with him. I!e
railed against the "tariff robbers" and
urged that a reduction of duties was
necessary to give (lie people needed re
lief in lower prices for wljat they con
sumed. II was not the currency, but
llie economic policy' of the Republican
party which Mr. Bryan then regarded
as the source of all ills. In a speech
in tlie House of Representatives in 1S!;'J
Mr. Bryan characterized protection as
a cannibal tree which had crushed the
farmers within Its folds and declared
that the only thing needed to five re
lief to the fanners and to the masses
of the people was tariff reform. Thi'iv
was no trouble with the currency,
which was tlie some then that it Is
now. The whole trouble was with the
tariff.
Referring to the attitude of Mr. Bry
an when lu Congress and his present
attitude, the New York Times says:
Tor some years and up to. a recent
date, Mr. Bryan, lu and out of Con
gress, earnestly and constantly de
manded n great reduction of tnrill
duties and urged that ninny dutiable
products should be placed upon the
free list, because, as he contended, the
prices of tlie necessaries of life ought
to be reduced for the benefit of tin
people. The tariff, he said, made
prices unwarrantably and unjustly
high; the Interests of the masses re
quired t lut t these prices and the cost
of living should be cut down. Now he
asserts that the prices of tlie lieeessar
ies of life are very tniuii tis low and
that they were inn low at the very
time w lien he was saying that they
were too high and was exerting his In-
lluein-e to reduce them. He proclaim)
tlie doctrine that the cost of those
things by which life la sustained
should be Increased -not ilocreiisiil -by
legislation mid advocates a policy de
signed to Increase It. It was, he said,
for the Ih iii-III of the masses Hint he
then called for legislation that would

It was not strange that an organized
effort was made to disturb tlie proceed
ings at Cooper T'nion at the wage-e.irn-
iers meeting on Thursday evening, ami
by riotous interruptions prevent .dr.
Powderly from obtaining H hearing.
Not strange tit all. but entirely charac
teristic of the methods and th- man
ners of that faction in the labor move
ment which has been striving for years
to tirostitute and degrade the move
ment for tlieir own selfish purposes.
They are marketable, and both virion
and lawless. It has not been the prac
tice, even in our most exciting political
campaigns, for the emissaries of an op
position party to invade the niect;ngs
of their opponent in turbulent and
disorderly gangs with the sole view of
creating disturbance and inciting rioi.
But the fellows who endeavored to
break up the Cooper t'nion meeting
with hisses and howls and catcalls, in
order to prevent, decent and law-abiding
citizens from hearing Mr I.'ow
derly deliver what every one who
either heard or read it must inlmit
was ii perfectly calm, logical and rea
sonable exposition of th issues of tlie
campaign, were of the new order of
political disputants the sort engen
dered by tlie doctrines of tlie fi.leago'
platform, and accurately represented
by the Boy Orator and his sinarchi'it
following. ' Their highest conception
of political discussion consists In
drowning the arguments of their oppo
nents by unmeaning noise.: their only
answer to calm and Intelligent Ktatc
ment is lawlessness and disorder.
The only purpose, of these discitiles
of the Boy orator was to prevent Mr.
Powderly from obtaining: ll hearing. In
so doing they were only exemplifying
tlie principles of tlie Chicago plat form .
only following, and bettering !ii but
small degree, the Instructions of the
"candidate who has for the last two
months been "engaged In Inciting Just
such demonstrations by appenTs to the
Ignorance and tlie lawless passions of
those whom he calls the toiling

stration against Mr. Powderly V:' They
pretend to lie laboring men. and to be
actuated by a sincere desire io pro

deserving of the highest consilient tioii.
both from Its inestimable consequence
as the most important fnctm-ln the

gence wilh which its responslblities
are weighed and . Its duties considered.
They pretend, in short, to lie tlie r.pcc
lal advocates of tlie rights, nnd the
champions of the dignity of laii'ii. It
was under color of this advocacy, and
by virtue of this championship, that
they set themselves on Thursday nigiit

The voice of these men is represent-i-tive

are men who have passed through a

enforced idleness. These men have di
agnosed their own case corYectlv they
know "what is the matter." They
have been prosperous under protection
and uiiprosperous under reduced tar

sympathetic physician in quest of a
remedial prescription.
They talked to McKinley and he an
swered them in fit words:
"I bid you welcome to my city and
to my home. I can well appreciate wt.y
tlie workingineii of this country should
have a deep and profound Interest in
the outcome of tlie present national
contest. 1 cannot tail to remember
that one thing which stands between
your labor and the labor of Europe
the one thing which stands between
your workshops and the workshops or'

BRYAN AND THE TARIFF.
.Candidate Bryan shows a kind r:-,
shifty shrewdness in Ills avoidance of tli. "
ssue which his paity has" wade the for.
most one la every campaign fur maiiv
many years, until now. He says: "Whatr. .
ever may be the individual views of citi-.
zens tis to the relative merits of protec
tion ami tarif reform, all must recog
nize that until the money question is fullv
and finally settled, the American people
will not consent to the consideration of
any other important questiou." If he had
said that tlie American people, having
tried tariff reform, and declared thein
scves very, very sick of it. and were de
termined to return to the principles of
protection and stay there, he would have
come much nearer the truth, but then he
would have found the truth embarrass
ing, as usual. Therefore, he acted
shrewdly, according to Ids standard of.
practical prudence In saying as little
as possible on the subject, and making
tlmt little take tlie form of a claim that
the-people are not interested ui the sub-
ect.
Nevertheless, tlie Democratic party
stands pledged by many planks in ninny
national platforms to opisisc the protec
tive principle, and remains committed
by its action of scarcely more than four
years ago to tlie doctrine that protection
is unconstitutional and must be extirpat-
d root and branch. A party cannot
imnge its principles as a man can change
his shirt, every time a change seems to be
temporarily convenient. A party is re
sponsible for Its history and Its declara
tions in the past as well as tn the nres-
nt. It may Indeed undergo develop
ment, growth and gradual change, but
only as an individual, by rational nro-
cesses and in accordance with relations of
cause and effect. A party cannot, mere
ly by ignoring a subject or saying soine-
Ililng nnu-comnuttnl about it. relieve it-
self of all responsibility for what it has
said and done in relation to that matter
through all Its previous existence.
I lie tariff question is one regarding
which Amcrcan voters are deeply Inter
ested in tills campaign and millions of
them nre Impatiently looking forward
to November .'!, next, as the time when
they wilt have a chance 'to ex
press themselves on flic subject at the
ballot box. No matter how much this
year's candidate for the nrcsidenev on
die Democratic ticket may try tn run
away and hide from (he tariff iiuesiion.
the voters will not forget that lie is the
candidate of a party which stands ,
pledged by unrepealed platform declar
ations to turn over tlie markets of this
country lo tin- unrestrained coiuiietitioii'
of foreign capital and labor, and that lin
king continued Industrial stagnation in
this country has followed an attempt
of tht- Democratic party to carry out its
Hellenics in that respect: an attempt
which the party leaders have declared
to lie only the first step In tlie way that
they Intend the country to travel. Bos
