LINCOLN A DEMOCRAT
He Was tha Foe of Trusts and Friend of Labor.
MAN GOMES BEFORE THE DOLLAE.
"Labor Is Independent of and Prior to Capital," .Said the Great War President. W, J. Bryan Quotes IIim to Show Whore
He Would Stand if Alive Today.
William J. Bryan sent to the New York World recently an addreas on Abraham Lincoln, of which the following is a summary:
My friends, I want to show you that Lincoln took an entirely different view of our form of government and of the rights of the people from that taken by many who now claim to be admirers of Abraham Lincoln. In a letter written in 1859 he says that Republicans were the words of my text.
"both for the man and the dollar, but, in case of conflict, the man before the dollar."
They cannot say that if Abraham Lincoln were living today he would be in favor of aggregated wealth as against humanity, because Lincoln draws the distinction himself. We charge that the Republican party places matter above man today we charge upon the Republican party of today that a great trust stands higher in the opinion of that party than a thousand toilers who ask the right to earn their daily bread. If w« attempt to apply the dootrines of Lincoln taday they accuse us of .raising our hands against property. No, my friends, we beJieve "in both fieman and the dollar," but when there is a conflict we believe in the man before the dollar.
I want to caJl your attention to language used by Lincoln that would be called anarchy today. This was not in a random speech, but in a message to congress:
Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted at as a possible refuge from the power of the people. In my present position 1 could scarcely be justified. were I to omto raising a warning voioe against this approadh of returning despotism. It is not needed or fitting here that a general argument should he made in favor of popular institutions, but there is one point in this connection not so hackneyed as most others to which 1 ask brief attention'. It is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with if not above labor in the structure of government.
There are men in this country today who would rather see a king at Washington than trust the toilers to go to the ballot box unintimidated and there register their votes. Continuing, Mr. Linoln said:
It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital that nobody labors unless somebody else owning capital somehow, by the use of it, induces him to labor. Labor is prior to and independent of capital. -Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed it labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration.
No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware ef surrendering a political power which they already possess and which, if surrendered, will Burely be used to close the doors of advancement against such as they and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost.
My friends, in December, 1861, Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, saw fit to embody in a public document this tribute to labor and this criticism of capital and its unjust claims. If he thought that then, oan any one donbt what his opinion would be now?
If he thought that then, when there was comparatively little corporative wealth, what would he think today, when one can scaroely pick np a newspaper that does not record the formation of some trust extending from the Atlantic to the Paoihc, the object of which is to shnt the doors of advancement against every citizen who will not conspire againBt the welfare of the people?
This attempt to pnt capital above labor needs to be rebuked today more than it did in the days of Lincoln. The words of Lincoln upon this subject come tons with increased emphasis, and if Lincoln could speak to us tonight I am sure that he would far rather have his words repeated to warn his fellow man agaiust the approaching dangers than to have the time spent in praise of his personal attributes.
But, my friends, I found a day or two ago something that Lincoln said with reference to another subject This book, Raymond's "Life of Lincoln," was published in 1865, so you see the quotation was not published for our speoial gratification. On page 694 Lincoln's biographer uses these words:
Nothing can indicate more clearly the elation of mind -with which the president regarded the future of the country, nothat its safety had been assured, than tjpe language he addressed iu a conversation at this interview to Mr. CoHax, who was at this time preparing for a journey overland to the Pacific coast. Said he: "Mr. Colfax, I want yon to take a message from me to the,niters whom you visit. I have very large i'deas of the mineral wealth of our nation. I believe it practically inexhaustible. It abounds all over the western country, from the Kooky mountains to the Pacific, and its development has scarcely commenced. During the/War, when we were adding a couple of millions of dollars every day to our national debt, I did not care about encouraging the increase fat the volume of our present metals. We bad the country to save first. But now that the rebellion is overthrown and we know pretty nearly the amount of our national debt the more gold and silver we mine we make the payment of that debt so much easier.* ''Now, I am going to encourage that In every possible way. We shall have hundreds of thousands of disbanded soldiers, and many have feared that their return home In mfch numbers might paralyze industry by furnishing suddenly a greater supply of labor than there would be demand for. I am going to try to attract thetai to' the hidden wealth of our mountain ranges, where there is room enough for all. "Immigration, which even the war has not stopped, will land upon our shores hundreds of thousands mbre per year from overcrowded
Euopft I intend to point ,tfcem to tiie gold •ad silver that wait for them in 'the west.

take a message from me to tbft miners whom yon visit." What wemrage do you suppose would now be sent by the Republicans to the miners?
But look at this statement: "The more gold and silver we mine we make the payment of that (national) debt

easier." Think of a president trying to make the payment of a debt easier. Why, that is repudiation. If a modern Republican were to write a biography of Lincoln, he would probably mention this as the only blot upon a character otherwise unstained. Some tell us that tbty arc afraid that we shall have too much money if we allow silver to bo coined. Mr. Lincoln was not afraid. He said our mineral wealth was practically inexhaustible be said that he was going to, offer uvery encouragement to induce the people to go out west and open up gold and silver mines. The Republican party today excludes silver from the mint at the dictation of foreign financiers. I want to call "your special attention, as a minister would say, to
We are told by the leading financiers who claim allegiance to the party which Lincoln organized "that it would be a breach of faith to pay our debts in anything but "the best money in the world," no matter what the contract says. How times have changed!
When Abraham Lincoln was president, when this nation had to borrow money and the life of the nation hung in the balance, Lincoln did not feel that public honor made it necessary for him to go out and buy silver to pay coin obligations, although the silver dolla# was worth 3 cents more in the market than the geld dollar.
My friends, the doctrine which they proofoim today would have compelled Lincoln to buy silver, because silver was at a premium over gold.
I want you to understand the change through which we are passing. The Republicans are passing from the ideas of Lincoln to the ideas of Hamilton.
My friends, does publio honor change? Is it dishonorable to do now what it was honorable to do in Lincoln's time? We are told that the gold standard was established away baok in 1834. That is the latest argument in favor of the gold standard.
Silver was demonetized in 1873, and the people did not ask for it. They did not know it was being done, and senators and members of congress rose in their places'and denied tbat they understood the bill. They cannot defend demonetization, and now they disoover that silver was not demonetized in 1873, but away back in 1834, and tbat Andrew Jackson was responsible for it.
My friends, the bill that Andrew Jackson signed and which they say now established the gold standard provided for the coinage of gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. Gold and silver were coined at that ratio under that law from that year, the date of its passage, until the date of its repeal in 1873.
THE PATRIOT'S DUTY.
Should Tote For Democratic Nominee* In Every District.
It is the duty of every man who wishes to rescue the people from the hands of the party which is imposing upon this country the tyranny of the trusts to use his vote and not to lose it. By voting with the Democracy, though he may be a Populist or a Silver Bepublioan, he will use his vote. By voting with his party organization he will lose it. This is true because of the fact tbat Democracy holds a great majority over the combined strength of the Populist and Silver Republicans. Through cooperation the three parties can rescue tbe nation. By independent action, though the Democracy would give the Republicans a severe fight, the result would be doubtful.
William J. Bryan advocates co-oper-ation. In a letter to the New York Journal he points ont that even if we set aside the bitterly contested question of gold versus silver there are many points which these three parties hold in common. All oppose retirement of greenbacks, tbe issuance of paper money by banks, the issuing of interest bearing bonds in times of peace and "government by injunction." All three favor the income tax, the abolition of trusts and arbitration in labor disputes. This much for the basis of co-operation. And it is co-operation, not consolidation, that Bryan urges, for he would have 6aoh party maintain its independent organization.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, in a communication to The Journal, says: "I would finvite no amalgamation of parties. If other parties desired to fall in with us and vote for Dem^pratic principles, I would, welcome them, but I would jb*' Democratic party stand for mal^ea irrespective of successes ofr a Jpm^qrary charaoter.'' The question ish momentous importance to the people._ Strtiboald be considered carefully, and' bo small matters of .purely partisan otfjuacter should prevent a wise and p^rkAfe dvoision.—Chicago Dispatch.

THE BACHELORS' DEN.
Elberton Toting Men Who Have Resolved to Live All to Themselveii.
A bachelors' den has been established in Elberton, Ga. Just in the rear of the handsome now Baptist church is situated a small and unprepossessing little cottage, but a cottage now famous as being the doniicilo of the bachelors' den.
Some weeks ago Messrs. J. J. Warren, Jake Silverman, Ed Ramsey, Em Edwards, Richard Fortson, Seyuiore Smith, Lon and Gip Glenn decided tbat they were tired of boarding house etiquette and its fallowings and determined to live all to themselves, do their own cooking and housework and ask no woman any odds. Sr they have organized, and Mr. J. J. Warren, one of Elberton's handsome and most flourishing young merchants, was elected president of the den, with the duties of buying the provisions, having them cooked and to seo that eaoh member cleans up his own room, and rented this little cottage in the rear of the church.
Mr. Warren, the president of the den, when seen recently by a representative of the Atlanta Constitution, said that he had no hesitancy in stating that the den was doing finely, and tbat tho inmates were well pleased. He said that now board costs them a little less than an average of $6 per month, whereas boarding they paid about $16, and everything cheap, in the way of provisions. "We decided," said be, "that*if the boarding house keepers could make so much we might save it, and so organized ftie den, and so far we are well pleased. You may state to tbe publio, however, and ts the ladies incidentally, that we are not in' the den to get away from their charms, for we all love the girls and would be glad to have them take care of us. You may say also that we are all very handsome and think We could and would make good husbands. Tell all the ladies who want a husband to apply at once to me, as chairman of the den, and I can furnish them at half price."
Mr. Warren stated further that tbe boys did all their work and kept one or two servants, and that the house was kept as well as any woman could kqap it. These young men are worthy and high toned, and their new venture is watched with interest by the publio. Many interesting stories are afloat about them, but they appear to be unruffled and greatly pleased with the life in the den.
HICAGO CURIO COLLECTOR.
His reason for removing his art treas ures from Chicago to New York oity is that atmospheric conditions here are better for the preservation of the sur faces of paintings, delicate curios, an oient books and the like than they are there. The home of Mr. Ellsworth on Michigan avenue is famous for its col lection of rare curios, brought together from all parts of the world. The house itself cost $150,000 and contains old books, famous paintings, tapestries, pottery and brio-a-brao.—New York Sun.

Y., says: "I suffered fer fourteen years with female weakness, nervousness and general debility, trying everything could find to help me—all to no avail. A1 though I was thoroughly^ discouraged and disgusted with taking medicine when I heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines, I thought I would try once more to find relief. I took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Favorite Prescription,' and too great praise cannot be given for the rapid relief they gave me. I am now free from the fonner troubles, and may God bless Dr. Pierce in all his undertakings to cure suffering humanity."
