There is one thing sure and that is
that populistic pedestrians in the
thoroughfares leading to Lincoln
have not been taking up their favorite
trail tha middle-of-the-road for a
few days, as they have all been choked
by republicans.
.LINCOLN will probably get some
free advertising by reason of having a
couple of presidential nominees, but
it will not compare with Canton, O.,
where thousands of strangers are
within its borders every day and it
only has one candidate.
The republican majority in the last
State election In Kansas was 30,000, in
Kentucky 8,900, in Moryland 18,767, in
Michigan 106,392, in Minnesota 60,013,
in Ohio 96,622, in Wisconsin 63,900, in
Iowa 59,000, in Indiana 40,000, and in
Illinois 123,000. These are some of the
so-called ''doubtful" States.
Billy Bryan said he voted for the
Wilson-Gorman bill under protest
because the protective tariff elements
weren't all taken out of it, but the
fact that the Wilson bill was a step
toward free trade, he supported it as
being a step in the right direction.
Now that the people have had a
sample of Mr. Bryan's step toward
free trade and are sick of it, we do not
hear a word of defense or explanation
from the embryo statesman. He is
very anxious to have the people think
of something else just now, and con
fines his entire time in discussing
classes and the money question. Be
dare not tell the people of this country
where he stands on the tariff question
at this time.
OF course what political commit
teemen "claim" is of not much im
portance in the heat of a presidential
campaign. But it is noticeable in all
the elections that have occurred so far
this year, those in Arkansas, Ver
mont and Maine, the claims of the re
publican committeemen were a good
deal more than made good while the
claims of the several popocratic com
mittees were rendered supremely ridi
eulous by the count. This is simply a
sign that the tide rises faster than
either side can measure it and that it is
flowing all one way. This condition
is highly propitious for an overwhelm
ing republican victory in November,
but really nobody knows how big the
majority is likely to be. State Jour
nal. '
BISMARCK ON BIMETALLISM.
The letter of Prince Bismarck to
Governor Culberson, of Texas, which
the Bryanites are rolling as a sweot
morsel under their tongues, is really
not of the least advantage to them so
far as the question now before the
American people is concerned, says
the Globe-Democrat. Bismarck says
he has always had a predilection for
bimetallism and a mutual agreement
between the principal commercial
nations of the world for its establish
ment. McKinley feels the same way
upon the subject, and the republican
platform contains a declaration of like
purport. But that is not what the
Bryanites favor. They hoot at the
idea of co-operation with foreign
countries for the purpose of bringing
about such a result, and loudly ask if
the American republic is not big and
strong enough to have a financial
policy of its own, "without waiting for
the consent of any other nation." As
3, matter of fact, they are not for
bimetallism at all in the true and
proper sense of the word. They talk
glibly about the coinage of both metals
at a given ratio, but what they
actually propose is the coinage of sil
ver under conditions that would inevit
ably drive all the gold out of the
country and leave us only the white
metal.
There is nothing in Bismarck's let
ter to indicate that he is in favor of
such a policy. When he speaks bime
tallism he means he concurrent U9e of
both gold by silver. In other words,
his predilection is for such a larger
employment of silver as can be made
consistent with the continued use of
gold: and he plainly signifies that he
does not believe the double standard
can be maintained except by the joint
cction of "the nations chiefly engaged
in the world's commerce." He speaks
of independent action by the people of
the United States not as a thing suf
ficient in itself to settle the matter,
but merely as a stay that he thinks
would probably "exert a most salutary
influence upon the consummation of
international agreement.'' That is to
say, with such action taken by our
country, the co-operation of other
great nations would be necessary, ac
cording to his view, to make the ex-
deriment a success. That is what he
means, and his latter is not to be
fairly interpreted in any other way.
He does not say that he is friendly to
the free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver, as advocated by the Bryanites
which would give us monometallism
instead of bimetallism. On the con
trary, he simply-favors an increased
amount of silver currency whenever it
can bo secured by international agree
ment; and that is the position of tho
republicans, and not of their oppo
nents.
SITUATION IN NEBRASKA.
It is difficult for any one who scans
the correspondence received at repub
lican headquarters to understand
where the Bryan men find and reason
able ground for basing their predic
tion that their nominee will carry No
euiy cheerful and hopeful feeling
among the republicans in tho writer's
precinct, and is not only an expression
of hopefulness but a report of what is
being done and the reasons for the be
lief of the man who is making the re
port, says tho Lincoln News. These
letters demonstrate that there is not
nearly so much defection in the country
districts as in the cities and towns,
and those familiar with tho situation
in Lincoln know what that defection
amounts to. The defection is in many
instances more than offset by the
gains from tho opposition. Many
Swedes and Germans who have hither
to affiliated with tho populists have
come back to the republican party.
and these with the sound money dem
ocrats make matters very bright for
republican success.
The republicans of Nebraska know
the strength of the opposition and
they are aware that the fight is not
an easy one. They have a superb or
ganization, aro distributing literature
and are supplying demands for spoak
ers, and do not propose to take any
chances of losing the fight. At pres
ent there is nothing but good cheer
and hope in the situation, and the
drift is unmistakably to the cause of
sound money. That it will continue
so is the belief of every well -in-formed
politician, and is the reason for the
hope and the belief that McKinley
will have the electoral vote of Mr
Bryan's own state.
Such universal interest in sound
money as is being evinced by the la
boring men leaves no question as to
results at the polls. Laboring men do
not want to pay double for what they
buy while their wages remain the
same. There is no money in that for
them. The old soldier who is enjoy
ing at tho hands of the government a
small stipend for his support in his de
tuning years, aoes Bot want its pur
chasing power cut in two. The far
mers, of whom the most are honest
men, do not want to repudiate their
obligations for tho temporary relief
it might give, and do not care to pay
double for everything they buy for tho
privilege of getting double for what
they sell. The farmers and wage
earners, backed by the merchants and
business men, and they will vote for
individual and national honesty.
Rev. N. D. Hillis, of Chicago, well
says in a recent sermon, "The law
of honesty can no more bo set aside
by a majority vote than majorities
can create a stick with one end, a
board with one 6ide, or by a show of
hands vote to havo the sun throw off
icicles instead of beams of light."
IF tiie wage earners vote as we be
lieve they will vote, Mr. Bryan will
have not more than 100 electoral votes
out of the 447.
"PER CAPITA."
It is "more money" the Bryanites
want.
We have already shown that Bryan s
policy of free silver would at first con
tract the currency of tho United
States to about one-third what it is at
present.
Now, which nations have the most
money, those with the gold standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites are fond of talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage of both gold and
silver the United States had a per
capita circulation in 1S00 of $4.9i); in
1833 of $8.60; in 1852 of 814.63; in 1S72
of 818.19. In 1894 we had a per capita
of $24.28; in 1896 we have one of $21.10.
The per capita circulation of tho
world is about $5.15.
Tho per capita of the gold standard
countries is $18.
The per capita of the silver standard
countries is nearly $130.
The gold standard countries have a
per capita of silver alone of $5.40.
The silver standard countries have
a per capita of silver of $3.32, the rest
of their small circulation being main
ly depreciated paper.
The gold standard countries, with
less than one-third of tho world's
population, have very nearly two
thirds of the world's currency circulation.
And yet Mr. Bryan would take the
United States from the gold standard
and place it upon tho silver standard
Louisuille Courier Journa'.
BRYAN complains that the rich are
growing richer and decrees that it
must be stopped. Would it not be
better to inaugurate a system that
would make one rich man richer and
a thousand men prosperous than to
follow Mr. Bryan and make one rich
man poorer and a thousand men
paupers ?

THE NKWS' LEAFLET NO. 14.
(Cut this out and put it in your pocket tor
reference.)
In the last leaflet tho effect of the
free coinage of silver on wages in
general lines was shown. It is equally
interesting to see what the effect
would be uion certain classes of em
ployes. No class is more important in num
ber or in relation to the business of the
average community than tho railroad
employes, and no class would be more
disadvantngeously affected.
The reason for this lies in tho fact
that tho railroads, in me.ny states,
would be unable to advance their
rates for passenger and freight ser
vice, although their fixed charges and
necessary expenditures would be
enormously increased when measured
by the depreciated ir.cney which
would surely follow free coinage.
The reason of this is tho fact that
passenger and freight rates are
limited, either by statue or by state
commissioners, in fully one-half of tho
states. It is not probable that the
state legislatures or commissions
would consent to an increase in the
rates which tho railroads might
charge.
Much more of the depreciated
money which the railroads would re
ceive for their services would bo re
quired for the payment of bonded in
debtedness, interest, repair, fuel, and
other necessary expenses of operation.
With their hands tied in the matter
;f prices which they would charge for
their services and their officials com
pelled to spend much more of the cur
rency received for that service in pay
ment of fixed charged and absolutely
necessary expenses of operation, and
there would be but one way that they
could economize, and that would be in
the matter of wages paid to their em
ployes. Railroad men who are assuming
that free coinage of silver would give
them more wages may find themselves
greatly mistaken. They may find not
only a reduction of the purchasinr
power of ever3 dollar which they re
ceive. If anybody doubts that tho railroads
would bo driven to a step of this kird
or to an absolute suspension of busi
ness unless they were able to pursuade
tho state authorities to allow them to
increase their rates, let him examine
tho following list of states in which
the rates for railroad charges aro con
trolled by tlate authority.
