In Alabama are twelve Democratic papers acting as apostolical messengers of truth and righteousness, and whacking Bryan.

Frank James has come out for free silver. Frank naturally drifts into the 50-cent dollar party, as he never was particular how he got his money, whether by "hook or crook." He has tried the hook and will now dally with the crook.

The general average of wages was $1.39 a day in 1879, and in 1891, $1.68. Many trades had shorter labor days in 1891 than in 1879 and could buy more for their dollars. Their employers found the dollar smaller when it came to paying wages and the employes found their dollars larger when they bought supplies. These em ployes must be among the men whom Bryan accuses of raising the price of the dol lar.

The National Democratic papers are showing pictures of Jefferson which are good likenesses of that great man. Those appearing in the Bryan papers are miserable counterfeits and do not represent the real Jefferson. The real Jefferson was the men who believed that the correct ratio of silver depended upon its commercial value. He would have called the attempt to pass 50 cents' worth of silver for a dollar dishonest and Booner than permitting their is sue he would have nailed up the doors of the mint.

There are 10,000,000 individual depositors in the savings banks, state banks, private banks, trust companies, national banks and loan associations. Their deposits amount of $5, 350, 00,000. Here is the real money power of the country,—Buffalo Courier (Dem.).

The great majority of this 10,000,000 are adult men. Add to the number the women and children who are interested in the savings and prosperity of the men and we have a multitude far beyond that narrow class which Bryan represents as being opposed to free coinage and bankruptcy.

Every day are published the names of Democrats who are well enough known to get their names in the papers, that are leaving the Bryan party or saying they cannot work for it. For every one that is prominent there are hundreds of quiet men who feel the same way. The defection of the gold Democrats is so serious that Mr. Bryan makes it one of the topics of his daily speeches. He feels deeply the reproach and scorn of the leaders of the party and to vindicate himself calls them traitors, very much as bushwhackers might call the regular army the stragglers and themselves the main body.

Governor O'Ferrall of Virginia has declared himself for Palmer and Buckner and sound money, and he will be a powerful factor In the politics of bis state and the election of several congressmen. Thus does Mr. Cleveland, who gave $1,000 to the Virginia campaign fund when O'Ferrall was running, get back cake for the bread cast oa the waters. Governor O'Ferrall's course is a powerful argument for electing governors that

are

sound on national issues.

Suppose a man like Shlvely was governor of Virginia or Indiana. Shively must never have a chance to exert a governor's influence in a congressional election.

"We believe," says the Pioneer Press, "that a great majority of the voters have already made up their minds in favor of McKlnley and sound money, and the preservation of existing constitutional safeguards against anarchy and disorder. But ther^are many more yet to be won over that our majority may be the. more impressive, The weak and easily influenced naod la be gu»rde4 jwxi strengthened. All

planner of fa^e «tatements will be put fortfc by emPT I* tetter days of the campaign In the expectancy tbsgt trill fee toe late to answer them The "roorback*' 1s the last resort of a ©arty fooking to a prospective defeat."

This is correct, byt the desperate enemy £s not waiting for fch$ I^Jter days to begin the manufacture of "roorbacks." It has •"(lofte fcegun,"

In 1877 the average price of hay was $S.W per too, in 1878, $7,20, w4 \V 1879, $9,33, In mi hay was fa 1892, 56,37, in 1*93 it was |8.88, and ia 18*S, $8,56, on an avi erage. Bryan cannot prove that the gold standard dollar apreciated pi hay between 1877 "i4 1895, mr thftt the decline pf sUyer hni depredated hay, He can faU hack upon the supply and demand argument but he cannot apply that to hay without also applying if ja cgm, wheat an4 other produets.

Bryan's egg argument mu£t pot be allowed to drop out of sight 'If-any man in this community would offer to buy all the eggs produced at 25 cents a dozen, and was able to make good the offer, nobody would sell eggs for less, no matter what the cost of production, whether 1 cent or 6 cents a dozen. So with silver. Free coinage would establish the market price of silver at J1.29, and nobody would sell it for a cent less."

It can be Improved on. Let us make eggs 60 cent? and silver $2.58, If we cannot do this suppose we make eggs twice as strong and dollars as large as pound weights, for we have got to help the owners of bullion in some way#"

One of the Bryan campaigners in the rural districts of Iowa, A. A. Worsley, uses as a stock illustration of the effects of a gold standard the story that 10,000 people died from starvation in New York last year. By a mistake in his calculations he made his speech in a town that was not so rural, where there was a man that knew something about city charities. The fcharity organisation of New York was called upon to make a report and it answered that there were two deaths in New York in the year that might be ascribed to starvation though it was probable that physical inability made it impossible for the two vicftirns to take food and not that starvation caused the physical disability and death

This is a sample of the stuff poured by silver shriekers into the open ears of simple and credulous people, though the election may prove that people are not so simple and credulous .as the speakers are who think they swallow their gross inventions.

The savings banks with their deposits of nearly $2,000,0000,000, invested largely In bonds, mortgages and stocks, are an import^ ant part of that money power which Bryan uses as a bogy to scare the people. An analysis of the depositors in a single bank will give a fair idea of the characters of one class of people that wants sound money and the kind of money that we have been, using since 1879, A savings banks of Dubuque, Iowa, has 7,614 accounts, representing $4, 000,000. These 7,614 persons arc clasified as follows: Mechanics and laborers, 5,120 farmers, 1,207 teachers and professional men, 632 administrators and executors, 604 capaitalists, 51. •Nearly six-sevenths are workingmen and farmers, which does not present as 'a picture of misery the Iowa county that can furnish over 6,000 bank depositors from its laboring men and farmers. Put down their 6,000 votes against Bryan and 50-cent dollars. Put down all the "money power" represented by the 1,800,000 savings banks depositors as opposed to cheap and nasty finances and Bryan.

Butter and lard can be dispensed with if Dr. Price's Baking Powder is used.

THESE HAD NOTROUBUE IN GETTING GOLD. Foreigners living in this and other cities often receive a practical lesson on foreign exchange that is denied to others and learn the advantage of being, paid in money that is worth as much as any money in the world. They learn it when they send money to their relatives in the old country. A list of the remittances made from Chicago alone, in 1895, was prepared by H. S. Vail, an actuary of that city, and it was found that in one year 154,039 remittances were made to foreign countries, amounting to $5,468,451, an average of $35.47, At this rate it would be safe to assume that at least $100,000,000 is sent every year small amounts to other countries, most of it from foreign-born citizens to their relatives abroad,

A citizen of Terre Haute, the other day, wanted to prove that there would be no trouble in getting $500 in gold and tried to procure it He failed, partly because he did not really need it. If a German or Irish born citizen, or a merchant, had wanted, on the same day, to send a remittance to Europe, he could have obtained from the banks, express oflices and postofflce order department, drafts or orders, payable in gold, without trouble, or paying a premium on gold. This is a privilege that Is always open to the servant, the laborer or the merchant that wishes to send money to gold countries. They have no further use for gold, The desire to procure gold to jingle in the pocket is not business, but when the metal Is needed tc make settlements in a money that has a fixed value iii all banks of the world, the laborer, mer-r chant and banker alike can get what they need.

A year ago, or yesterday, the Swede or Qerman laid down his dollars at the postofljee, express office or bank and knew just what he woulft get. In Mexico he would not have known whether he was to lose 50, 75 90 per cent in exchange, as the rate might have changed 15 or 20 times in a month, but he would have learned that it takes two 50-cent dollars to make one good one, as he will learn that it will take two Bryan dollars to make one "American" dollar—the Bryan dolla being a South* west, or silver miner's dollar.

The 164,089 remittances from Chicago, averaging $85,47 each, were chiefly from the working people and they were madcln, gold, or cheeks payable in gold. Thiy wefre made so easily and as such a matter ofr course that no remitter had to ask how --'.x ». ~ii

they would be paid, but he laid down his American money in perfect coflfideftce that lie «oj$Jpet it# fjjl| value ImujIs. If Bryan a»4 ^eyitem of financial debauchery nxi: fastened upon the esuntry, there will not 'be 154,039 remittances made from Chicago in It ball of ifcat immtm ig made ther# fr/U&e 77,01? people to he robbed In exchange and to remember regretfully ttje times when their dollars could be c&anged* for gold, dollar fpr dollar, tested of far what to worth only the old fashioqe4 halfdollar.

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF THE BAJU ROADERS. Mr, McKiniey said in the course of his eloquent address jto the 6,000 railroad men from Chicago: ,, ''But it ie not the remarkable enterprise of our railroads, both in equipment »mi extension, that impresses us so much, as it is the safety and efficiency in every branch of the service. In sunshine or storm, in drought or flood, fair weather or foul 'faithfulness to death,' at whatever peril or cost, railroad employes can always be relied upon as firmly as we can depend up on any human agency. (Cheering.) Not only are skill and endurance required in their exacting duties, but the greatest watchfulness and fidelity, and often the keenest intelligence, to think and act instantly under circumstances the moat perilous and trying. (Applause and cries of 'That's right, Major.')"

His audience evidently appreciated his tribute to the efficiency and Spirit of railroad labor, Mr, McKiniey may have had in his mind such incidents as that in which the engineer and fireman stuck to their engine and drove it through the burning forests of Wisconsin at their own great peril to save their train and its passengers. If not there arte many as remarkable to be re membered and there are many men in the service who are capable of such deeds.

We are accustomed to thinking of rail road men as brave and daring. Their em ployment has been and is hazardous, al though its risks and losses have been much reduced, but there is always a risk. Considering their reputation for courage and devotion to duty in time of danger the charges made by some Democratic leaders and papers do them much injustice. It is, asserted that they are being intimidated to conceal their principles. It is claimed by Democratic managers that railroad naen have joined sound money clubs, with the intention of concealing their politics and to be better able to work for Bryan. We cannot believe that the intelligent men are hiding their principles from fear nor that honest men are playing the part of treach ery.

There were about 5,000 men who went from Chicago. Suppose those men had struck on the ground that a few or many of their number had been threatened for political reasons. There is not a railroad organization in the country that is strong or bold enough to face the people In a strike of that kind, as the accusation could not be evaded if true. Coercion of men into voting a fcertain way could not beef (ected by discharging them on trumped-up charges relating to other causes, but the actual reason would have to 'be made known to the men, so that they could save their places by doing what was wanted. We do not believe there is a railroad com^ pany in the country that is so recklese oj) foolish as to allow this, nor that 5,000 meh in Chicago would allow It, nor that th6 people would allow it nor can it be believe^ that any manly and intelligent railroad men are playing the part of sneaks^and hypocrites by voluntarily enrolling themselves as sound money men when they are not and never intend to be. The Washington committee says men are doing this, but it says a great many things that are not so. It will be rebuked for saying that tenp of thousands of railroad men are cowards of double-faced. The charge is equally ridiculous whether we call the men railroader* or Americans.

STAND BACK, IF YOU PLEASE: Stand baek, and don't spoil the parade. People enjoy processions so mueh that they spoil them by crowding into the middle of the street to leave a narrow lane through which the procession straggles. Even that be-yutifui Democratic affair on Saturday suffered thus.

The procession of the railroad men on Thursday ought to have Main street from curb to curb. How much more beautiful it will look if the spectators stand far enough back to look up and down the line instead of being limited to the view of the file just in front. Can tho city furnish a platoon of "the finest" for tbe advance skirmish line?

THEY KNOW HIM IN LOUISVILLE. The inhabitants of Louisville have long been known as not the least intelligent in* habitants of a fine old state. It was injudicious on the part of Hon. William Jennings Bryan to visit Louisville the other night but the Hon, William Jennings Bryan is not coijspicious for good judgement, says the New Tork Sun. He has been impelled by the unconscious influence of the forces which he represents, to accept the name of anarchist. He wriggles at it a little, hut as the campaign gets older he seems prepared!to accept the term seriously, He tried to be sportive with It, but the humor does not pass. There may be crowds in Arkansas who do not believe him to be an anarchist. In Louisville he creates no illusion.

At a Louisville free silver meeting, Illustrated by the presence of the great young Nebraskan last Monday night, the Hon. Joseph Ciay Stiles Blackburn propelled one of the loudest of human voices, and asked in tones of lightning and the cyclone of all the winds: "Who is the recognized leader of anarchy in this country?"

And the crowd yelled with one heart and all lungs: "Bryan, Bryan!" They know the Boy in Louisville.

A DREADFUL DEMAGOGUE. No living American statesman of character is suportlng the Popocratlc free silver policy, but Mr. Bryan is trying very bard to press all the dead ones into its servlco, says the Indianapolis Jorunal. Some of his efforts in this direction would be amusing if they did not disgust by their impudence. In his speech at Fredericksburg on Saturday he alluded to a foolish legend that George Washington "once came and threw a silver dollar across the river here," and then, With a tear in his voice, asked, "Would you believe it, my friends, that a Bilver dollar which was good enough to be handled by the father of his country is now so mean a thing as to excite the contempt of many of our so-called financiers?" Now, of course, Washington never threw a Bilver dollar across the Rappahannock river any more than he did over the Natural Bridge, as another foolish legend relates. Silver dollars were very scarce in his day and Washington was not the kind of a fool to throw away dollars any more than he was the kind of a fool to advocate cheap money. Mr. Bryan Implies that the sacred 'dollars of ke fathers" were very plenty in Washington's time. Washington died In 1799, and from 1792 to 1795 only 203,791 silver dollars were coined. If Washington got hold of a few he was more likely to have kept them as souvenirs than to have thrown them away. However, the allusion is too Billy to discuss, as is Mr. Bryan's attempt to convert the mythical incident into an argument for free silver coinage.

At Ashland, Va., he said: "I believe this county claims the honor Of being the birthplace of two of America's greatest men. Henry Clay was born In this county, as was also Patrick Henry. I believe the policy for which I stand in this campaign in some respects revives the memories of both men. Henry Clay in 1845 described the effect of contracting the currency and Patrick Henry was in favor of an American policy."

Observe the modesty with which he places himself In company with "two of America's greatest men." His argument is that because Henry Clay in 1845 described the effect of contracting the currency and because Patrick Henry was in favor of "an American policy," therefore the free coinage of silver In 1896 would be a safe and wise policy for the United States, and Mr. William J. Bryan ought to be elected president. Nobody is proposing to contract the currency now except the advocates of the

Indianapolis Journal: Governor O'Ferrall, of Virginia, has told a correspondent of th« New York World that Mr. Bryan would have made speeches for the Populists against him In 1891 had he not gone to him and told him that he would personally follow him. After that declaration Mr. Bryan hesitated and then promised not to speak for the Populists.
