litical promlutnce exert Intlucnce at Wash
ington
This statement especially ns to the
fanner and his relation to the army
is so far from the truth and is so easily
disproved that it excite suspicion In
the firU place Mr Hryan must know
that the law provides that all army
contracts must be advertised for and
bids opened before they are aw arded
and that no special ckuss is faored in
giving tlieiu out
Figures showing the expenditures
toy the quartermasters department
from April 1SUS to nnd including June
1100 make it plain that nearly 10000
000 has been expended by the Inited
States for the purchase of supplies nnd
luateriaK for the army which have
been produced by the farmers So that
when Mr Hryan says that the farmer
while he pays more than his share of
the expenses of the army has no part
in army contracts or in developing
companies he states what is untrue
Oilicial figures of expenditures in the
subsistence department of the war de
partment show that in the purchase of
American products during the years
189S 18n and to June 30 1000 the ar
ticles purchased for rations were main
ly direct products of the farm such
as beef bacon Hour comment beans
rice potatoes canned tomatoes nio
lnsses soap pork hard bread peas
hominy onions sugar vinegar pep
per and candles nnd during thnt period
the subsistence department expended
3314761703 for these rations So
much for the subsistence department
The quartermasters department
shows on account of purchase of for
age fuel stationery cavalry and ar
tillery horses wagons and means of
transportation other tlinn railroads
boats etc harness clothing und
equipage materials and manufactures
nnd lumber from April 18U8 to June
30 1000 that 4880303680 has been ex
pended
Of this forage oats hay straw etc
come direct from the farmer Horses
nnd mules as well as the lumber pur
chased were American products while
the many millions of dollnrs expended
for clothing equipage and material
represent wool and cotton grown by
farmers in the Inited Suites Instead
of the farmer having as dangerous an
enemy in a large standing army as he
has in the army worm figures from
the wnr department thus show that
he hfls been greatly aided nnd helped
by the army and luis had a market for
his products
To show exactly the amount o
money expended by the quartermas

the war department the following of
ficial figures are given in answer to

The hotith is becoming thoroughly
awakened to the fact that the polit
cic of the republican purty protec
tion expansion and sound money
are those that will bebt promote the
industries of that bection of the coun
try The Manufacturers Ilecord ol
llaltiinore has collected another
broadside of southern opinion on the
issues of the day this time from
bankers The sunt hern bankers as a
rule coincide with the opinions of
the manufacturers nnd here is what
some of them say
E L Foster vice president of the
bank of Anderson county Coal Creek
Term While 1 was a democrat
nnd voted three times for Cleveland I
do not see what could be done from
n mere human standpoint that would
be more disastrous to the business
interests of the country anil there
fore to every interest than the elec
tion of Bryan The gold standard
of money must be maintained im
perialism or no imperialism
A S Heed cashier Bertram Tex
While a very large majority of peo
ple in this section will vote for Bryan
for president because he is their
party nominee still the honest con
vict iou of the best business men is
that they would really prefer to see
Mr McKinley reelected believing that
such reelection would the better tend
to insure a continuance of the pres
ent prosperity
II V Kchweer enshier First na
tional bank Denton Tex J firmly
believe thnt Bryans election would
bring financial disaster over our be
loved country degradation to our
flag whereu r it floats McKinleys
election continued prosperity and all
tint ions honor our flag wherever it is
thrown to the breeze
H W Shownlter assistant cnshler

WVa Democrats and republicans

than ever before in the countrys his
tory McKinley protection nnd sound
money is the cry from all lips
Joseph S Davis cashier First na
tional bank Albnny a The con
servative business men of the south
nhnost without exception regard the
doctrine of free independent and un
limited coinage of silver as a mennce
to the countrys prosperity But
what the result would be should Mr
Bryan be elected would require a
prescience beyond human to declare
with certnlnty
W K Pntterfield cashier Peoples
national bank New Iberia Ln The
country has never been so prosperous
as since the election of Mr McKin
ley We want to see his good work
continued No Bryan
fi V Saxon president Capital City
bank Tallahassee Fla The politi
cal party that maintains an honest
stable currency with open doors for
foreign trnde will in my opinion best
subserve the business interests of the
country
J K Hngsdale Blair K C The av
erage business man believes that the
election of Mr Bryan to the presi
dency of the Inited States would
cause a money panic
F A llper Co bankers Ivnlde
Tex We nre doing well be satis
tied and let it alone
W S Wilson cashier Deposit bank
Eminence Ky It is my opinion
thnt the election of Mr McKinley will
be for the business interests of the
country Imperialism is only a scare
that we care nothing for I am a
democrat but I am convinced it is to
our interest to make no change in the
president
1 A Ball enshier American nation
nl bank Fort Smith Ark This sec
tion of the country neier before en
joyed so great a degree of prosperity
as at the present time We nre well
satisfied with McKinleys administra
tion und for my part apprehend thnt
a change would prove most disastrous
to every business enterprise
A E Watson president First na
tional hank Marlin Teat The busi
ness outlook is good In our opinion
the election of Mr Bryan to the
It Sort o Looks tu if Id Ilarc to Expand
dency would be very disastrous to
every business interest in the coun
try
William Powell cibhier Bank of Cul
loden Culloden Oa I am a north
erner While he Mr Bryan might
not be able to foist his free silver is
sue upon the country it would be dan
gerous to give him the chance to do
so nnd only for the race question I
believe thnt this would be the verdict
at the polls of many thousands of the
oters of Oeorgin
O F Luttrcll cashier Bank of Brew
ton Brewton Ala It seems to be
the consemus of opinion among the
lending business men that the business
nnd commercial interests of the coun
try will be best subserved by the elec
tion of Mr McKinley No one denies
thnt the election of Bryan would be
adverse to all business
J B Carter president
Wholesale Grain company Sher
man Tex As for presidential can
didates I do not think it advisable to
make a change at this particular
time
C W Arnett Fnirmount W Va
Bryans election would mean disaster
to business destruction of public con
fidence the return of pnnics the re
duction of work and wages nnd the
repetition of the scenes of hardships
which filled the land during the last
democratic administration
O G Bournan Citizens national
bank Hillsboro Tex I believe that
the business interests of the country
would be injured less by the election
of President McKinley than Mr
Bryan
E A Shipley clerk and mnster
chancery court lonesboro Term I
hae no doubt that the business inter
ests of the country would be best
subserved by the election of Mr Mc

will be attested by tlie ballots cast
here in November
RESULTS OF BRYANS LETTER
First Kr1lM of the Uemocrnllc Can
dltlulex Letter of Ac
ceptance
The response by Aguinaldo is prompt
and to tbe point Bryans letter carne
out only a few days ago and Gen Mac
Arthur reports the results
Considerable activity throughout
Lii7on Fighting reported in
districts heretofore quiet In llocan
province numerous small af
fairs Country north of lasig
very much disturbed
South of Pasin same conditions It
was a mere matter of course and had
been anticipated and reported upon
as long ago as August 25 as likely to oc
cur about this time
Twenty one Americans killed and 19
wounded
It is well to keep Lnwtons prophetic
words in mind If I am fchot by a Fili
pino bullet it might ns well come from
one of my own men because I know
from observation confirmed by cap
tured prisoners that the continuance
of the fighting is chiefly due to reports
that are sent out from America
I2xianln In Trade
The rnpid growth of our business
with Japan in rails and machinery
during the past four yenrs is an in
dication of what may be accomplished
in that quurter in the future under
proper encouragement Four yenrs
ago American rails were unknown in
Japan but at the present they more
than double in quantity the mils
which come from Englnnd which up
to 1S0G constituted the chief source
of supply It is believed that Amer
icans have it in their power to prac
tically control the supply of rails and
railroad material generally with
Japan during the next decade As
an indication it is cited that the
Carnegie cenpnny signed a contract
nt Kobe for 8000 tons of rails nt a
price of 32fi per ton under the
English bid The men who man
ufacture these rails contribute to the
well being of the farmers whose sup
plies feed and clothe them Hard

The demonstrations In every city
and hiiinlit in this country on Labor
dn when the industrial populations
poured through the sticets in march
ing order well- certainly gratifying
whether rcganled merely as a pictur
esque display nf the forces of so
ciety or as a token of the united
fcplrit which guides the destiny of the
nineteenth century workman Bank
after rank the marchers In labors
great nnmiiil parade presented the
most conviuiing evidence of the indus
trial prosperity that prevails through
out the United States In its personal
appearance as well ns in numbers the
testimony admitted of no question
For hours nn army of well fed well
dressed cheerful workingmen filed
through the streets of nil large cities
nnd in smnil hamlets the parades were
none the less marked This years
Labor dny parade was essentially a
demonstration of the employed fairly
nglow withthe signsof satisfnetionover
plenty of labor at more remunerative
wages thnn lnbor hns known in six
yenrs This years demonstration was
the largest the best dressed the best
fed and the best pnid procession of
workingmen this country has ever
seen There was expansion in its step
its smile and its waist measure
Scarcely four years ago under the
Inst Democratic administration there
was a great agitation for free soup
houses where the workingmen who
were out of work under President
Clevelands administration could get
free soup to keep them from starv
ing Those same workingmen under
only a couple of yenrs of William Mc
Kinleys administration are now eat
ing sirloin stenKs and the grounds
where the thousands of soup houses
stood four years ago are now covered
with factories employing thousands
of men at good wages Yet the dem
ocratic party leaders from Mr Bry
nn down are trying to hnve the work
ingmen to vote to go back to the soup
house condition again The American
workingman will not vote himself out
of a good steady job at good wages
for all the soup houses that the last
Democratic administration produced
They are all voters Every man who
holds in his hand an implement of la
bor also holds a ballot For the first
time in the history of the labor move
ment in this country nnd under a re
publican administration the freneral
prosperity of the country includes the
prosperity of labor The steadily in
creasing prosperity in the business
world was distinctly reflected in the
neat and satisfied appearance of the
different organizations The men and
women marched like people who are
self confident and self assertive who
know that they are a mighty force in
the work of widening and strengthen
ing the nations fields of industry
They marched like men who dignified
labor hy stamping it with their own
manliness
Of nil our nnnual exhibitions none is
more Impressive than that of Labor
day It is a grand demonstration of
wealth producing forces nnd of the
opportunities which come to men in
this free country under a republicrn
form of government and adminislra
tion The thousands of workers who
make up these annual parades are in
truth ns is often said the brawn nnd
sinew of the nation but they also rep
resent a progressive intelligence such
ns it would be impossible to discover
in the same citizenship of other lands
From their ranks will spring many of
the men of affairs and influential pub
lic men of the future
Questions of politics should not be
mixed with the principles which are
at the root of all lnbor organizations
Labor is organized for purely co
nornic purposes But this yenr the
issue at stnke is one which vitally af
fect the economic welfare of the
whole people and it is only natural
that the wrrkingmen should regnrd
it as worthy of their best study both
as individuals nnd as members of
trade organizations They will not
let democrn c calamity howlers fool
them ns thry have not yet forgotten
the Inst democratic timeb of only
a few years ago We hear of their
philanthropy and immense donations
to the poor but when they give a
dollar they take two dollars off the
workers wages
A majority of the people of thin
country dont want to ruin the indus
tries of the country nor do they want
nn aristocracy of clnss They want
a government by and for the peo
ple such as we have had for the past
four years and will hnve for the next
four lnbor voting selfishly perhaps
for its own prosperity
When the workingman Is prosper
ous the whole nation is prosperous
netler Lend Thnn Ilorrovr
Mr Bryan views with alarm the
fact that Americans nre lending
money to Great Britain Germany and
Sweden He thinks the lenders are
unpatriotic Americans are glad to
have money to lend Under a demo
cratic administration they had to bor
row 202000000 abroad and that in
gold Mr Bryans election would
mean a return to that undesirable po
sition

follow that money i cheap in the
fense that it does not cost much to bor
row it The capitalM with capital
for investment makes the rate of in

other financial institutions have great
ditliculty in lending their money out
safely nt a percentage larger than

so good that government bonds can
easily be sold which yield nn income
of onlj two per cent but the credit
of foreign governments or nt least sev
eral of them is not so good ns that and
not having money of their own in their
financial centers which can be bor
rowed at a low rate of interest or bor
rowed at all they naturally come to
the country or the financial centers
of the country where there is plenty
of money Such n thing as sentiment
never actuates n person or n country
borrowing or a person or a financial
Institution lending It is a matter of
business Money lenders get as much
ns they can nnd money borrowers pay
as little ns hey must New York is
to day tho financial center of the world
because it is better able to lend money
to all corners than any other city of tho
world
This condition of affairs proves thnfc
our own country was never so prosper
ous ns now It could not be true with
out these millions of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars piled up In New York
seeking investment at these low rates
of interest It also illustrates that the
big financial institutions wherever lo
cated cannot prosper unless the coun
try as a whole has made the money and
has put it in their hands for saving or
investment The savings banks scat
tered throughout the country the life
insurance companies the financial in
stitutions or large private banking
cencerns of whatever kind depend for
their very existence in the last an
alysis of things first upon the fact
that people have money saved up
which they can place with these per
sons or institutions for investment
and second that they have such con
fidence in the general business outlook
and also such confidence in the
of the persons and institutions in
question that they place their money
on deposit with them It if this money
the money of nil the people that is
loaned out to such would be borrowers
as can put up sufficient collateral
The presence of this great mass of
money in the financial centers seek
ing investment at rates no matter how
low so far from being a toad sign as
MrBryan and his organ claim though
we have never been able to see why
is the best possible evidence is indeed
a perfect index of the prosperity of
the country It is positive proof that
the present prosperity of the country
is unprecedented When we pay that
a man is a creditor when we know 1hnt
he has money to lend we mean to say
that there is no better way of saying
that he is prosperous When a nation
is cnlled a creditor nation it is only
perfectly fair to assume that the same
conditions exist with regard to the
whole country in fact it is mere clap
trap to assume anything else
REV SAM JONES ON TRUSTS
Wealth nnd rirnln Combined Do
Much for the Good of the
People
The large trust and combinations
t already formed nnd being formed by
aggregations of capital are considered
hurtful to the masses and the com
mon people This is a theory Theo
retically a thing may be so nnd prac
tically it may be very untrue When
we speak of trust and combines we
think of the Stnndard Oil trust the
sugar trust the tobacoo trust etc
When the Standard Oil trust was
formed I was paying 40 cents a gallon
for kerosene oil I am getting it now
for ten cents a gallon I was payinp
12 cents for sugar several years ago
but when the combines set in we got
it at 5Vi When the whisky
trust was organized I was in hopes it
would put up whisky where the poor
devils couldnt get it but they have
teemed to chenpen thnt down to
where they enn pay the government
110 n gallon revenue on it and yet
Sell it for 127 whirh i1nrt
j thnt they nre making it nnd letting
the public have it at about n2 cents
n gallon including the barrel
There is no doubt about the aggre
gation of wealth with brains con-
trolling it thnt they can manufacture
nny article cheaper thnn it is or has
been manufactured on n small scale
I hnve watched the progress of events
