The Populists, including their nation
al leader, Mr. Bryan, are full of denun
ciation of the plutocrats of this coun-J
try, -who, so they say, are endeavoring
to enthrall the people by means of bA
vicious financial system. In one sense
this is true. There is a class of aien
'who can Tcell be styled plutocrats, be
cause they are the owners of fabulous
"wealth, for a great portion of which
they are "indebted to favorable legisla
tion which they have received from
congress. These plutocrats are endeav
oring, by false pretences, to entrap the
people into the adoption of a vieieus
finanjrtal system which will benefit no
body but the plutoerais, and that ben
efit -will be secured at the expense of
the wage-earners of the country and
the thrifty and provident of all classes.
These plutocrats are the rouiti-mill-loneire
owners of the silver nstnes.
They are the richest sisgle group of
men in the United States. Twenty sil

That inherited wealth is beinc put to

months and a half a strike has been
in progress, owing to the fact that the
silver mine owners-desired to increase
their profits by cutting down the rate

the largest mines m LeadviHe nave pat

shows that the proposed cut in wages
-tfas entirely unnecessary, and that
there was a profit in worlds- the

in Leadville or any where else, has the
millionaire siiver mine cwner ever

"What will men on salaries and wage

THEY ARE NOT REPUBLICANS.
The esteemed San Francises organ
of Candidate Bryan says:
"The Silver party nomination repre
sents the votes of those Republicans
who are not ready to leave their own
party permanently or to cast their lot
with the Democrats or Populists. Most
of them, it may well be be
lieved, do not favor the com
mon principles of either the De
mocracy or the People's party; but
they are wilKng to lay aside their prej
udices and work ml vote for the man
who represents one principle on which
they agree with their life-long oppo
nents." According o our esteemed contempo
rary, between the maintenance of
the integrity and independence of
-the federal Judiciary and the throwing
open of the mints to silver, the Silver
party would prefer the latter; that as,
between the protection of American in
dustries against the low-wage labor
system of other countries and the free
aad unlimited eeinage of silver, it
would take free coinage: that as be
tween holding American labor in the
bonds of enforced idleness and the
coinage of silver in an unlimited quan
tity, they would accept silver coinage;
that as between the home market with
a continuous demand at good prices for
American farm products and throwing
pen our mints to the free coinage of
the stiver ore of pauper-wage coun
tries, they would ask for. the opening of
our mints: that as between a sound
ami safe monetary system and the un
limited roinase of the white metal,
they would prefer the latter, and that
as between prosperity in all the chan
nels and highways of commerce, in-r
r"7," ZJL
for the free and unlimited coinage of
stiver, they would ask for the latter.
If. as our contemporary says, the
Silver party is willing to sacrinee every
principle and tradition of Republican
ism and overthrew the foundation on
which the nation stands for the sake
of removing the present restriction
upon silver coinage, then it did right
in indorsing the candidacy of the nomi
nee of the Chicago Democratic and the
St. Louis Populist conventions, for Mr.
Bryan represents that idea in all' its
fullness. But our contemporary
wrongs the Silver party when it says
it "represents the votes of those Re
publicans v.-fcc are not ready to leave
their own party "permanently to cast
their let with the Democrats or Pop-;
Republican is supporting, no He
publican could support Bryan's candi
dacy, and if there s a member of the
Silver party jrho is claiming to be a
Repnbiicrn while advocating the elec
tion of Bryan h ii an arrant hypocrite.
Repobiicarirm is as far removed from
Bryaaisxn as unionism is removed from
sectionalism. The mission of the Re
publican party is to ereate such condi-?
tiens of existence for the American
people as snail conduce to the highest
and best good for every man. woman
and child in this land. It takes n the
whole range of ppsibiiities and works
to emarg? opportunity for very one
to plant and cultivate a vine and fig
tree for himself, and about him it seeks
to maintain law, order and safety. The
"one principle which our contempor
ary says the Silver party is contending
for ie not a principle of government.
It is a principle of trade and commerce,
and to thrust it upon and make it the
paramount function of the government
would be to make courts; law. 'congress
and the whole of the ' machinery
of the uatfo Sfeec-vienl to its
purpose. No. then? are no Rpub-
Hcans in the Stiver party nor Jtn the

WOTHKG iN IT FOR WAGE EARNERS
Nothing that Mr. Bryan said at the
Tammany meetings last night offered,
agy solid reascn to wage-earners why
they sfcenld favor the' free " silver ex
perimest.
The higher prices of which- he talks
as quite certain to come from free, coin
age would have to be paid by the wageT
earners. It is txue' that, in ease Mr.
Bryan's belief that silver will rise at
once to a par with gold under free coin
age were realised, iherv "would be no
higher prices demanded for food and
dothing. fuel or rent. But in that case
the farmer, who want the higher
prices, would be deceived and disap-pointed-
L'nlees the universal experience of
mankind would be reversed for the
benefit of the United. States, the mo
mem we eoraeo inxerir money in. un
limited" quantity money worth from
40 to at per cent, on the dollar less than
its face valuation all our gold would
vanish from tbe land. TChat certainly
would cause a nominal advance in
prices.
Commodities wouie net d worth any
more nmfer free coinage, but the dol
lars paid tor them would be worth a
great deal less, and hence a larger
number of those poorer dollars would
be askefi -for the goods. That is how
Bryan's promise to raise prices would
be fulfilled. But unless wages were
nominally advanced higher than the
prices of goods, wajre-earners "would
not shape in the rfte and 'nowhere
has Mr. Bryan ""claimed that' wages
would be so advanced.
"We know by experience that wages
never have advanced as fastis the
prices C commodities, in a "period of
cheap money innation.Xabor, there
fore, is bound to be a loser, if there la
a change to the .silver standard. "Who
ever else might make a temporary
profit by the trick of stamping 53 cents'
worth of silver as ?1. with ie inevita
ble result ef making everybody who
b?s anything to sell want a larger
number of dollars for the same quan
tity of goods the wage-earners will lose.

C0TMN& THE COST.
ECONOMY IN MANAGEMENT OF THE
STATE GOVERNMENT.
Jo I'oazitLaUan to tlte Personal Claims j
3ta.de by Gov. Holeanib Kepablican Of- j
cils Have -Entire Control of State In-
fttitatieas&Bd theDiaburseixreniiof F amL$.
The claim made by Governor Hoi-
comb that he has saved $200,000 to the;
at& daring his term of office by reason :
of his econoinicaladrnmistratioii of state j
affairs will not stand even the most sn-
perficial investigation. In the first place.
there has been no such saving. In the '
second place, the governor has nothing !
whatever to do with the expenditure o
state moneys. The governor appoints
the heads of all state institutions except
the two industrial schools, which are
appointed by the board of public lands
and buildings; commander of soldiers'
home at ililford, appointed by above
board and approved by the governor,
and superintendents of industrial home
at jMflford. and home of the friendless
at Lincoln, appointed by a board of
lady managers.
Supplies for all institutions are pur- j
chased by the board of purchase and
supplies, consisting of the governor as '
chairman, commissioner of public lands
and bnilding3 as secretary, the secre- j
tary of state, attorney general and state j
treasurer at present four republicans '
and one populist. The law requires that j
the secretary of the board shall adver- I
tise for bids, that the board shall meet
on the first day of each quarter, and
that bids shall then be opened and con
tracts awarded to lowest responsible
bidder. The contracts for supplies are
then enforced by the board of public
lands and buildings, of which the gov
ernor is not a member.
Section 19 of the constitution defines
the -powers and duties of the board of
public lauds and buildings as having
charge and supervision of all building, ;
grounds and lauds of the state, and all
institutions except those for educational
purpose-;.
The legislature of 1S77 (section three
revised statutes) under the heading,
"Custody of Buildings." gave force to
the above provision. Under the head
ing, "Disbursements ot Pands" (sec
tion four), the statute says: "The said
board shall have power, under the re
striction of this act, to direct the gen
eral niauagpmeut of all the said institu
tions and be responsible for the proper
disbursements oE the funds appropriated
for their niainteuauco," etc. Under
section six the board is given power to
pass upon accounts of the "public offi
cers" or heads of these institutions.
Under section G, the board haYingpassed
unqn accounts, the auditor is directed to
: . .
issue warrants in paymeut thereof
Thus it will be seen that the governor
has nothing at all to do with the control
or management of state institutions, or
the auditing, approving or paymeut of
bills contracted, those dnties being: en
tirely within the scope of the board of
public lauds and buildings, of which he
is not even a member. But if Gov.
Holconib is correct when he states that
the sum. of $200,000 has been saved dur
ing his administration, the credit would
be due to the board of public lauds and
buildings. This board would be glad tu
have the credit for the saving. The
fact is, however, that the appropriations
are barely sufficient for the running ex
penses of the state and state institu
tions, and with six mouths of the bien
nial period yet to run it may appear
that they are insufficient. Still the
board believes that by the practice of
economy in all direction??, in keeping
with the policy of the past two year?,
the appropriations will be made to suf-fice-
The legislature of it-53 appropriate:
ftG'.'.tilQ for expenses of state govern
nient and institutions. The legislatuir
of 1895 appropriated $760.4iT6. A saving
it will be noticed, of 12,000.
It is true, too, that there are more
people to care for than ever before, aud
this is done with a smaller appropria
tion. A comparison of cost of supplies
during three years shows that a con
siderable saving has been, effected.
Por instance:
x Lump coal' was vortb, 3.7Q.iu 1S9S
and $2.53 in 1S96. Other grades about
he same. f
3Ien's shoes in 1S93 were $2.5". In

The reader will thus see how the

UP fO THE SA?IE OLD TRICKS.
An Atiesipt iollalrn OffOM Forgeries auX
I aites- Oa German Voters.
The Democratic state cautral commit
tee of IJebrasfca has jnsc pat in circula
tion, at so late a day in the campaign
that it was hoped the fraud would es
cape detection, a pamphlet printed in
the German language which reprints all
of the exploded forgeries and fakes of
the campaisTH. Utterauces of Lincoln,
Grant, Garfield, Blaine, ilcKin'ey, aad
others, are garbled so as to misstate
their position. Then the ohl Pinaucial
News forgary is trotted out acain to do
Esrvica iu a uew dress, and the Bismarck
letter which was printed by the stiver
press under a foersd transiauaii, is put
out as new and original and genuine.
AIthenghthpapiphlet is issued by the
Democratic state central committee, the
evidence exists that " the expense oi
printing was borne by Guy Barton oi
Omaha, a life-teug Republican until
this year, and. manager of the Omaha
smelters, owned by the Omaha and
Grant Smelting company, with smelters
at Denver jni Omaha. Mr. Barton's
interest in the matter, and his unusual
generosity, are explained by a conversa
tion had with him by a close friend
since the campaign opened. He was
asked if he had "gone crazy" on the sil
ver question. He replied that his com
pany owned nearly one million ounces
of silver; that if the pi ice of bullion ad
vanced under tree coinage, the rise in
value would be clear profit; that if it did
not advance, the company could pay its
employes in dollars costing but fifty-twa
cents; and that, figured from this stand
point, he would be "in it" either way.
The Democratic state central commit
tee and "Silver Baron" Barton may be
good teachers for the Nebraska voters,
with their fakes and forgeries and stale
chestnuts, and they may be able to fool
afewofour German citizens, but the
great mass of them are too intelligent to
be causht in such manner.

with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use

and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can

to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma

I took their treatment faithfully, the

There is plenty of proof of the truth ;
of the statement that a man is known ;
by the company he keeps. A philoso
pher doesn't select fools to be his j
friends and companions. I
"VTho are the conspicuous leaders of ;

whom you would trust to manage yoor '
private business interests? The mme :
owners are both shrewd and alert but ,
they are supplying the money foe Bry- !

properly to be called the leaders- of
Bryan's campaign. The real leaders
who are they? What are they? What
has been the measure of their success
anywhere or at any time? Are they
able business men? Are they learned
and successful lawyers? Are they emi
nent as merchants, ineohanies. doc

Can a man who has failed to do his
own business do the business of the
public? Are the prudent, successful,
intelligent and honorable men, as a
class, working' for Bryan and repudia

working for ilr. IcKinley. protection,

the best men in the Democratic party
Cleveland, Carlisle, Flower. Palmer,
Buckner, Watterson, Dna. Whitney,
Lamont, Harmon and- Cackran. Mor
ton of Nebraska, a fanner who farms
and one of the most successful in
America, stands- for good money and
the faithful observance of all agree
ments and contracts. In every com
munity the best men. rich and poor,
are fighting- Bryan and the mine own
ers' trust. So are the newspapers, big
and little. Republican and Democrat.
But who ire conspicuously to the
front for Bryan and Bryanfawn? Till
man, the foul-mouthed: Donnelly, the
crank; Casey, the. wind beg: Carl
Browne, th braggart; Altgeld, the
anarchist, who makes gold contracts;
Mrs. .Lease, of Kansas; Debs, who in
sults American workingmen by saying
that they are cowards and "live by per
mission;" Tom Watson, Sam Small.
Peffer and Jerry Simpson: Stewart,
the mine owner, who voted for the
"crime of 1ST 3," and spoke for gold in
congress, anu who now says that the
silver dollar was denied the privilege
of the mint by steel th and treachery;
and Richard Croker.
These are the leaders. 3tt what ia
the general plan of their aampaign? Is
it patriotic or wholesome? Bryan
pitches the wail of calamity and the
rest follow. Debs, for instance, says
that Americans arc . divided into
three classes the capitalist, the mid
dle class, and the working class. E
and Bryan and Coxey and Tiihnan pre-,
tend to believe that those of the work
ing class." "the totting masses," as
Bryan calk; them, ere ground into the
dust and that the arrogant heel of cap
ital is on their necks, Mr. "MoKtntey.
however, says that in America ALL
men have a chance.
And this ia so. Mr. McKinley him
self is the son of an Iron worker. Gar
field was a boatman, a carpenter, and
farm laborer. Lincoln was the child of
poverty. The big merchants, the man
ufacturers, the successful business and
professional men generally of this
country have come from "the toiling
masses." They have worked, worked,
worked. And now demagogues like
Bryan assert that these men have
turned against their country, have tost
their sympathy with humanity, and are
wolves in the fold.
The men wh? lead Bryan's campaign
and the vicious and fraudulent char
acter c f Bryan's daily political conduct
will never be approved by the voters
pf America. Bryan and Bryanfam
can't possibly win. Cleveland Leader.
