Nevei tueless, he will get a large part of the South eru vote, ho that the contempt in the camj lias a bearing on unreasoning prejudice and farcical elections. The excess of exports over Importa from March 1, 1897 to March 1, 19(H), three years, was $1,483,537,049 or more than f 400,000,000 per year. If the policy of this administration ia continued how long will it he before thia country ia Immensely wealthy? Piling such vat-t sums into a country sufficiently accounts for the prosperi ty of the present. The great coal strike still exists notwithstanding the mint owners have ottered a 10 ier cent advance for wages. It seems tbe miners are willing to go to work for that raise ouly thoir labor union is not recog nized. It really seems curious to us at this distance, that wen outside are able to control tbe actions of the la borers. The coal mines are in Penn sylvania, while the labor agitators live in other states. The Albany Journal figures that the percentage of republican gain in Arkansas would give McKinley the electoral vote of Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nebraska and sev eral other states that were democratic four years ago. Missouri expects to get on the right side on the strength of surer signs than that mentioned by the Albany paper, though its straw is significant. Hon. II. B. Miller, of Oregon, who went to China some months ago, to tervethe United States as consul in tbe province of Bze Chuen, away up the Yangtse river, writes that he thinks China will be a poor market for fruit, on account ot the starvation wages and squalid conditions there. He says: "The prune market must be amongst a class of people whose wages are higher than the China mail's. No one who has never seen it can conceive of the low standard aud cheap life in China." John J. Valentine, president of Wells, Fargo A Co's Kx press, is now sending leaflets to his agents with a view to Inducing them to support Bryan. This Valentine Is the man who refused and refuses to pay the Spanish war tax. He holds up the public like a highwayman. While Dewey was keeping the Sanlah squadron out of San Francisco harbor and thus protecting the property of this same Valentine, he was sitting in his walnut furnished office devis ing plans to cripple the navy. Il would lie a just thing, If it could be doue without injury to others, to let this trust baron have his desires for a four years. According to continuous demo cratic declaration the republican party has been busy for forty j ears In working the ruin of the country, thrt enslavement of the eople, the creation cf imperial dictators, the de struction of the constitution, and in the promotion of industrial and financial disaster. Every democratic platform during that period has em phatically declared these things, and the democratic press and wakera have made hysterical apeal to the leople to save the country and sor rowing patriots have wept over the destruction of the republic. The same hysterical appeals are now lie- ins made and the same tears of mourning are being shed over exact ly the same kind of corpse that has evoked them at quadrennial periods since the first election of Lincoln sealed the nation's doom, destroy eo its pnertty and put an end to our free institutions. Mr. Bryan rants and weeps as his predecessors ranted and wept, aud over the self-same things. Yet what is the nature of the ruin wrought by forty years of republican rule anj to what extent have the people been deprived of their liberties? -Salem Statesman. SHORT OS STABILITY. When Bryan's platform was made the "paramount issue" was lti to I That was put lu because it wus the paramouut Issue. He demanded this, no campaign rould e made without Indeed, there could be n'j candi date without it. No sootier than the delegate bad dixinmd, the "para mount" shifted. At the big Iiidiau- apolia meeting, the meeting held at that gold standard towu and lu thai gold standard state, "luiperlalUui" and "Militarism" beoHin the "I'ara- mount." This was sufficient fur a few weeks. Then the scene was changed at 8t. Louis alxmt the mid die of September. There he deliver ed an elaborate address igimrint; entirely the paramouut issue of Mili tarism and Kiupire, and expending all his energy in a philippic against the purely "douaertic and economic evils of "private m mopoly. ' Fur ther along, at every way siatn.ii, as he toured through Missouri anl Kansas, he has pushed the trust Issue to the front to tl e unesplaired mid pointed neglect of the cause of "kv- ernment with the consent of the gov erned," whether in the Unitel States or In the Philippines. Wlmt are we to think of a man so volatile? And is it reasonable to suppose that tbe "paramount" can so rapidly Ih changed? After all, is there a "para mount" other than Bryan himself? BRYAN AS A SOLDIER. Continued from Firit Bay . out under special call, it was not thought that this act would prejudice its chance for leeogiiition in the usual manner as a part of the regular auota for Nebraska. The tender of the regiment by the governor was in the following language: Please tender to the president Nebraska regiment heavy artillery, now nearly formed, commanded by Captain Dudley, U. H. An whom I shall be pleased to appoint as colonel with the president's permission, ami officered by Nebraskans, educated at the military department of he state university, would make strong organization. SILAS A. HOUDMB, 'Govern ir.' "It does uot state the manner in which the regiment shall he called. Hence it must be inferred that the usual method was to be oliaerved. TLis was the fiivt regiment of volun teers organized In this state. It WHS the first' to tie promised recognition, and it would b a serious disappoint ment to the men enrolled if that rec ognition should be denied. Conse quently, realizing that the next regi ment to leave the state under the direction of the executive, would not lie the regiment commanded by Cap tajn Dudley, but would be a regi ment with Mr. Bryan at its head, an effort was made to induce Mr. Bryan to take our regiment and be colonel of it. Mi. Bryan said he had a few friends who had raised companies and he wished to Include them in his regiment and hence he would not be able to accept ours. We then urged a eon promise and requested him to take part of it, six or eight com panies. "This we firmly believed he would do. We could not believe that one who had indicated such friendwhip for our regiment, who had stated that "while 1 have not as much influence with this administration as I had hoped to have, yit I will do all I can for you," we could not believe that such professions of kindly feeling were but hollow mockery and evi dence of insincerity. We could not tielieve that in order to gratify his own ambition he would willingly, purpoeely and intentionally thwart a similar ambition on the part of a large number of his fellow filiziix, especially after he himself bad en couraged them in that ambition. Imagine our complete surpriM when it became evident that every com pany of the artillery regiment out side of Lancai-ter county, would lie offered as a sacrifice to a man whom the state of Nebraska had already generously treated, who had lieen the recipient ol iecial favors and kindnesses at the hands of the young men of the state and of this organiza tion of young men into th very vitals of which he now struck s death blow by inserting the stiletto of his ow n ambition. "We wish to use this oportunity of making an emphatic protest against the treatment that has been accorded the trained citizen soldiery of our state by men who place their own selfishness above the interests o( their own country, who would place ieraonal gain above patriotism, who would use military service in time of war as a means of attracting and holding public attention and rew ard ing political Iriends. We believe that even the humblest citizen has rights which those in authority should respect. We Is'lieve that a promise once given should not be broken. We believe that no man no matter how great his political swer and prestige, should use that power snd prestige in destroying the right of others. "We cannot be accused of any petty personal prejudice in making this statement. We would not have asked one toward whom we cherish ed any ill will to be our guest snd break bread with us In a friendly gathering about the banquet hoard. Nor would we haye asked him to lie our lieutenant colonel. Such com pliments are not extended to person al enemies. But our friendship snd admiration for a man will never be so great that we will, wtihout pro tes(, uiake an aheolute aud uncondi tional surrender of everything to him. Nor would he who Is a wortny friend demand it. lUnpeclfully sulimittd, "S. II. Maktis, "W. I). Reed, "U E Ahams, Jr., 'E. C. Ei.i.iott, "J. B. IUknb." Ho great was the feeling aroused agaiust the peerless exponent of pop ulism that when he annoum-ed his amliition to he captain of the Lincoln company of bis regiment, his candi dature met with strong aud deter- mined opposition among the mem- l.ers of the company. Because of this and fearful of the outcome, he withdrew his uame as soon as nomi nated, neiiire a voie was ia-.ru, uuu threw his strength to another who was defeated, aud an anti- Bryan man was elected. The result was not so much a personal victory for the successful candidate as It was a rebuke to the constant candidate. This is the "military" record of the peerless one, with the matchless mouth, who now so vigorously de. crys "militarism." This is the "im perial" history of the self-appointed champion of jiopular rights who now no uncompromisingly denounces "imperialism." Could there be a more oppressive tyrant or a more dictatorial despot than Bryan? It will shock the conscience and moral sense of many to lie informed of such peirl ly on the part of their sainted leader. They will say with the com mittce, "we could not believe that such professions of kindly feeling were but hollow mockery aud evi deuce of insincerity." But the c m miitee was forced to lielieve it. The man who, thus connived to be. come a colonel, aspires to tie presl dent and has the audacity to runj upon a Pharisaical, "I am holier than thou" platform. The Conservative believes in the old adage, "be w ho would be unfaithful in little, would be unfaithful in much." He who would shamefully abuse the con 11 deuce of the few, would as contemp tuously disregard the trust of Hit many. Mr. Bryan's Is-trayal of the confidence so implicitly and unre servedly rejiosed in him by thest young men, proves him unworthy of the confidence of the American eo. pie and condemns hiur- as unlit to be their president. It is not strange that one with a military past like this should abhor "militarism." A large majority of his fellow citizens will, iu Novemlier, register a decisive protest against his kind of "militar ism." Nebraska State Journal. II lull Kit I'iLL IOU MONEY. 8t)USI (1'HhI reasons exist why the el. c tion of Bryan this year would be more disastrous than in 18. Four years ago many voters believed that proserity could uot be reslorul without oiening the mints to the free coinage of silver. That heory has lseii completely swept aw.y by accomplished facts. It is'no longer heard from democratic sis'skers. fliey insist that the paramoui t Issue is something else thai silver, but at the same time the old silver plank is in their platform unchanged. A verdict from the people now against the gold standard would be a din c tilow at demonstrated prosperity, and Iherclore uiore crushing than it would have been before. It would also reverse the previous judgment of vot'Ts, causing a sense of bewilder meut as to their purpese in regard to the staudsrd of currency, on which rests hII business Interests, plans and contracts. The best Ihst could be done in the event of Bryan's election would be to take in sail and ride out the storm, for the tempest ahead would be too dark for human roph- ecy. Jn the end the ssiple would pick themselves out of the wreck and 11 nd solid ground, but the sane course is to remain there now. Truer words were never uttered than those of Postmaster General Smith in which he recently pointed out that Bryan's election now would produce a greater convulsion than was looked for la 1H96. "We should be plunged to the same depths from a higher level," he says. "You fall from the se-ond story and you are In danger of a broken neck. You fall from the top of a sky.scrsier and are sure of it." If Bryan had been elected in the first contest for silver the people would have demanded the prrity that he declared would he the sure result. They chose the road republicans said would lead to proserity and had a right to exact the fulfillment of the pledge. It has been redeemed. Good times are here. Under the gold standard th domestic and foreign business of the United States has advanced with un exampled bounds. It Is from this higher level that the fall must occur if freakish impulse is io lake the place of sober delltsTHtion ami the prudent care of advantages already in hand, It is clear that the elevtion of 1!NK) is to decide an appeal from the great trial st the polls in lsJ(i. Mr. Bryan has treated the subject in a hook sig nifiVantly called "Tht First Battle." He has pointed to his vote of fi,"i00,. 000 as the largest ever given a demo cratie candidate, and kept himself at the front as the inevitable candidate for renomination. At no lime was his renomination in doubt. His parly believed him to be the strong est candidate, snd the old platform is reaffirmed in every syllable. The great central fact of the campaign is at'sin the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other na tion.
