Kp FROM BRYAN’S HOME Political Notes and Observation! from the Popocrat Candi date’s Own City. HIS PLATFORM ANALYZED. A Constant Appeal to Class Preju dice in the Interest of Sil ver Mine Owners. Business men lire studying the money question. Mr. Hryan Ini" ami lit to tell bis audience* over and over again that the husine*" men of the country are again*! free ailver partly because they don't know anything ala.ut the question •ml partly because they are dishonest. In tlii* Mr. Hryan misleads hi* follow ers and misrepresent* the tniainea* men. It may lie true tlial what is called free silver agitation started firat among tbe farmer* rather than among the buafness men, lint later tbe hiialneaa men have read the free-silver literature, have rend both aide* of the question, until at the present time the iiuslnea* men of the nation are thoroughly informed from a business standpoint and from a nonpar tlaan standpoint on the money question. It Is probably true that the politicians that oppose silver are moved by prejudice and self-interest to a certain degree Just a* the politician* who favor free silver are moved by self-interest to u certain degree; liut the Inisiness men, the men who are managing the husine** concern* of the country, the bankers, and the financier* have made it a part of their IHJflilM*** im rrau u|i */u »»*■' tion. to lieeomc thoroughly informed, mid they have panted upon the question from a businem und not from o political stand point. Mr. Bryan. recognizing the mor al force of the bintincn) Judgment of the country and knowing that thi* bii*lne»* Judgment condemn* free coinage a* a dangerous thing, seek* to discredit the businc** mind of the country by denounc ing it a* ignorant and dishonor oil the money question. Mr. liryan profe»*e« to desire a restoration of the Industrie* of this country. At the same time he denounces the business men of the coun try and propose* a plan which lie know* they ure afraid of. The threat of free trade in the cam paign of 'itl und In the election of 'IKi, frightened the liu*iue** tniml of the coun try, first into distrust und doubt ami then Into a panic, the effect of which is *tlll <m. The question above all other* at this time i* how to remove this business depression from the liiisiness mind. Mr. Htyan say* that free coinage will revive tile industries, hut at the same time he admits that the httsiues* mind is against It and I* afraid of It. The effect of this threat of free coinage I* to muke every capitalist hide Ids money, to make every banker afraid of investments, to make every dollar creep into the darkest corner of the safety vault, and by this process of money hiding and money li/uirdiug which is now going on all over the I 'nit- <1 Slates, the circulating money of tho country is disappearing from active use faster than till the government mint* could coin new money if they were now under a free coinage law. Laboring men are crowding around Mr. Hryuii to hear his speeches and uiany of them upiH-ar to lie pleased with wbat he say*. lie talks kindly to the laboring man and Id* words are us sweet as huaey. Hut the thinking labor ing man knows that so long as industry, that is, the mind force which is man aging industry, is afraid of free coinage, that all plans for the enlargement of in dustry or the employment of Inlmr arc suspended, pending the discussion of the money question, mid that these plans will lie taken up and carried into execu tion only when the business mind of the country is assured by the election of MeKitliey that there is to Is- a sound business policy iu the government of this nation. George (Jroot. chairman of the Nation al Silver party, speaking at Lincoln.

Effects of Industrial Depression in Cities Brought Home in a Practical.Way. STORY OF A KANSAS FARMER. Decrease in the Consumption of Food by Laborers Affects the Sale of Farm Products. A stock-feeder of Kaunas, recently In Kansas City, tells a story that in worth relenting for the cxecllent lesson which it t<ncheH. In a certain town wuk a creamery. It gathered the cream from the far in.* within u radius of ten miles and manufactured about -UK) imiinds of butter per day. ilcyoml tile limits of this circle from which cream was gath ered -there were u number of farmers who desired to sell ereum, blit were uot able to do so because the wagons from tlie creamery did not reach their farms. Oue day a delegation of these farmer* called at the oliiee of the creamery to consult the manager with reference to the enlargement of its bu*in<*ss so us to include them and their neighbor*. They explained to the manager that by send ing his teams u few miles farther in all directions lie would double the quau ijty of ereum gathered, double the amount of butter produeed and consequently double the protil* of the creamery. The farmers were disappointed when they saw hv the look on the mamiger’s f.icc that their proposition was not favorably received. There had been a great deal of gossip among the farmer patrons of tlie creamery that the price paid for cream was too low and that the profits of tlie concern were larger titan they ought to Is-, and now these farmers could not understand why a business which was making exorbitant profits should not Ite willing to enlarge itself, to double its output and consequently to double its profits. The manager explained that to enlarge the circle of their farmer patrons would require an additional iiiiuiImt of men and teams to gather the cream, would require additional machinery and an en larged plant with more buttermukerx aud other operatives, till of which meant an additional investment of money in which he did not feel justified at this time. lie expluilied that the price of butter was low, thut thousands of luhoriug men in the cities being out of employment were not enting butter, hut were buying oleomargarine and other cheap imita tions of butter, mill Ih-cuiihc of all these discouraging circumstances he was unable to consider a proposition to enlarge the business of the creamery. The manuger went ou lo explain thut n creamery in Kansas, Nebraska or Iowa dtqiendcd ii|hiii the big cities for its customer*. In small towns many of the iieoido keep cow* of their own, hut In the big cities such a* Denver, Kansas (lily, iliiiahu, St. l,oni*. St. Paul. Minneapolis aud Chicago, where thousands of laboring men are gathered, the farmers find their best customer* not only for dairy products hut all the other fissi products of the farm. The families of tlieoe la boriug men are extravagant eater* and extravagaut buyer* of farm products when they have the inouey to huy with.

A farmer may believe in free coinage and a tailoring man may believe in free coinage. I,lit If the business mind of the country on which isith the farmer and the laboring man is dependent is ufraid of free coinage, then the threat of free I coinage, instead of breathing new life in to industry, strikes it with the paralysis of death. Kvcry earnest thinking man in thi* country at tills time, whether he he a farmer or a laborer, above all tilings, ulsive all party or personal preferences, desires to see the industries of the nution revived, because lubor can find employ ment and farm produce find a market in no other way. When all the arguments have been ex hausted on both side*, the whole ipiv* tion narrows into this proposition, that activity in industry is dependent upon *hc confidence tin- business men tiuv.. in financial and tariff ixrficy of the na tional government. Farmers may have confidence in some untried and catchy proposition, and the laboring man may have confidence and even be enthusias tic, but if if,,, mind of the business man hesitates then industry languishes. A thousand laboring men may stand ready to go to work in a factory. And the farmers may stand ready to provide these laboring men with food, but if the malingers of the factory arc afraid to start it, then it will not start. It may appear to these thousand liilmrors and to these farmers that the manage;,, „f the factory are unreasonable, and 'bat tlicy have more |s,wcr in the nation than they ought to have, hut the truth will remain forever, that mind, and not ma jorities. is tlie controlling force upon which the industry of the nation depends and that the judgment of one trained business mind is worth more to a • om inanity than the judgment of many men who work with their muscles on the farm and in the factory. •MINKS’ SIl.VKIt MINk!

Never was there before a presidential campaign in which the women of the country linve taken such an active part ns in the present struggle. In three states of the T'niofl. Wyo ming. Colorado and I'tuli. women have, the same voting privileges ns men; bat feminine interests in the campaign are hy no mean* liinl'cd to those state*. Intelligent women all over the country seem to feel that the contest has an Im portant hearing upon the welfare of their households. They think that the canoe of protection and sound money is IsionA up with the prosperity of the family, and they feel a great interest in the Re publican presidential candidate Is-esae* of the uobility of hi* character and hie devotion to his home life. The Woman’s bureau is under the «H» rection of Mr*. J. Klleii Foster, the well known orator and political writer of Dos Moines, la., for several years president of the Woman's National Hepnbliean as sociation. The bureau is established In commodious quarter* in the Auditorium Annex, Chicago, unite away from thn noise and activities of the national com mittee, where Mr*. Foster Is provided with cverv convenience, and assisted by. capable aids. The Woman's Hepnbliean association! is composed of thinking, active women— women intensely alive to the best inter ests of their country and homes. Thn Woman’s association is not a suffrage association. Many of its members do not believe In suffrage at all. It is not a moral reform association, although many of Its members are engaged in tan philanthropies nml reforms which lllu mine this decade of our national history. They do not seek to utilize the llepub Urnii association to advance any of tliesn reforms. Its members ure simply, and all the time, Republicans, laboring for the support of the principles of that party and for the election of its candi dates. Mr*. Foster’s immediate associate* and assistants in the work are women of capabilities in various lines. Mrs. Thomas W. ('bare, the general secre tary, resides In Fast tlrecnwich, K.

Mrs. t.'hucc tins nil extensive ac quaintance and is Identified with many great charities, philanthropies und aoct cties, aside from her political dutiaa. The natiouul treasurer. Miss Helen Var wick Roswell of New York city, has su pervision over the headquarter* of hay state', located at 147.'i Hroadway. Mian Roswell has inaugurated the plan of per sonul visits among the women In tha tenement districts of New York, for the purpose- of showing the women the mean ing of the free coinage of silver and hear it will affect the purchasing power of their dollars. She finds these womea with well-defined views on the currency question and ready to defend them, an they do in insisting that the voters In their families shall maintain them at the poll*. Miss Roswell lias enlisted * large number of young business women to help spread the doctrines of sound money and protection and to help secure votes for the Republican candidates. _ In fhe Chicago headquarters Mr*. Foo ter's chief assistant and secretary is Mrs, Alice Rossctcr Willard, who ha* wide experience in general business and news paper work in this country and in Kng liiud. Next to her conn** Miss Ann* Rrophy of Dubuque, la. Miss Itrophy is not only vs Inn tile for her education and wide general knowledge, but because every piece of work which paaMU through her hands receives her critical attention as to its correctness, its ac curacy. Miss Rrophy is chief stenog rapher. Almost the first tiling done by Mrs. Foster after open in a her headquarters, was to Issue an appeal to the patriotic women of the country, urging them to organize committees or club* for study of the issues of the campaiglf, and to help promote the cause of natiouul unity and protection. The responses hare been most gratifying, coming as they hare from Oregon to New Jersey, There women are directed in their work of or ganizing and advised how to make their efforts effective. The weapons of thu women are personal appeul and litera ture*. These are used to convince the women that their own personal welfare, including the interests of children and of the home, are on the side of the Repub lican party. This conviction assured little doubt remains as to how the vota influenced by these women will be cast. Free? Wool and Free Silver. During the many weary months after tin* ilson-Uorman tariff Imd given th* death blow to the* wool industry fre* trade journals usstiri-d their reader* that the Idow would not lie fatal. In time th* industry would revive. Considerable pru ilenee u'as manifested as to dates, but th* prediction was confident that in th* course of time the industry would re cover from its paralysis. The Philadel phia Record was one of the moat san guine of these free traders. That journal simply knew that ita theories could not 1m* wrong. Free wool must and would enable our manufacturers to recover th* home market for woolen goods and grad ually get a good hold on the markets of the world. In a recent issue the Rec ord threw up the sponge. It admits that free wool ia not strong enough to carry free silver. The confidence with which it attributes the failure of its free wuol theory to some other jteraou's free silver theory would, if transferred to the money market, revive business even III the** fre* tr«dc time*. Hay* the Record: "The distrust engendered by the sil ver crate ha* checked sties of manu factured goods. Increased the tiervwat- T age of idle mills and to narrowed tW outlet and crippled the tioaacial re source* of Kastern distributors of wo*l that the latter have practically -rittd purchases of the staple in the country markets, and in many cases hat* r* fused to ntak* even reduced cash ad vances on consignment*." The silver .esse did not material!** until free wool had had nearly threw years In which So show what it mu 14 do Owing all that time the wool m ilustry went from lotd to wot**.
