1 $F THE BIG EOND DEALS. BRYAN'S BCATHINO AFtnAICN MENT OF CLCVCLANDISM. fh Administration 1 lint 1 Now rrali d by Mark Uuniiu uul t'niiipiiT "Wont Another Jut LlUo It l'atrlots, Take Hand. Mr. Bryan said to ten thousand peo ple at Milwaukee: Since tho public offlcers nro elected to carry out tho will of the people, It Is essential that tho public should know two things. First, for what poli cies doc3 a candidate stand? Secondr will ho carry out those pollclee If elect ed? While there may bo things in a platform with which you cannot agree, and things out of it which you would liko to sco in it, It is necessary that tho candid a to should believe in tho platform upon which ho stands. I behoved in the principles of our plat form long beforo It was written in Chi cago. "Wo havo sufforod some desertions. Why? Because the paramount Issue of tho money question. It Is easy enough to hold a party together when a plat form moans nothing, but when any party stands for a great principle, it must expect some people who do not bellevo in It to lcavo It. My friends, this great money question has been forced upon the people, not by tho advocate of freo coinage, but by tho gold standard people. After tho lection In 1892, a money combine was formed for the purpose of repealing tho Sherman law. They did not take tho democratic platform and live up to it, but they took one sentence which de olared for tho repeal of that law and demanded Its repeal. They said tho law was a make-shift. What Is a make shift? Something that will do until wo got something- better. The demo cratic platform declared for tho ropcal of tho Sherman law and the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver. Tho money interests combined to re peal that law and leave nothing In Its place. They claimed gold was going abroad. Did they stop It? No. They started an Issue to furnish bonds. They had $50,000,000 Issued, and then had $50,000,000 moro issued, and then en tered with the Rothschild contract. My friends, while the administration i entered Into this contract, I want to say that all tho leaders of the republican party were In favor of it. . Tho republican party did not de nounce it in their convention. Now, I want to eay that it was tho most in famous contract ever entered into by any nation. That contract employed certain firms in London and New York to look after and protect tho govern ment's interest. They purchased tho pood will of theso people. When you purchase tho good will of any person, It Is because you admit you aro in his hands. I am not willing to admit that the government must purchaso the good will of anybody. I am not willing to admit that 70,000.000 of people aro permitted to govern themselves by th.9 aid of any syndicates, but that they will govern themselves In cplte of them. I am not surprised that the members of that syndicate are opposed to the democratic party. I believe that tho democratic party can get along with out them. I bellevo that they ought to fc treated as any other conspirators. A man said to his Bons: "Don't go into the retail business; go Into the whole sale business. That Is respectable." This" applies to you. If a man at tempts to do tho government a small injury, it Is contemptible. If It is a wholesale injury, It is respectable. Mr. Bryan then told the story of the successive bond deals and the plan to again .Issue bonds to a private syndi cate which was defeated, and how, when the bonds wero sold in open mar ket, tho president of that syndicate paid moro for them than he paid at eaojt sale. Mr. Bryan continued: What does it mean? It means that the people who would pose as the guardians of tho treasury would rob the people. This fact did not excite the indignation of the officials of the gov ernment, and a short while later the chairman of that syndicate was present where an official of the government was the honored guest at a banquet. If we believe In equality before the law.we cannot make any distinction between the man who takes $500,000 and the man who takes $100. Now, they talk of honor of tho gov ernment. I beliovo that tho honor of the government can be better maintain ed by 70,000,000 of the people than by beginning with a handful of financiers. Tho republican party does not denounce the bond syndicate. The democratic party does. The Grip of UoIiU Chicago Special. Five assignments were made in the county court today. They aro: The Chicago Iron and Steel company; Harry M. Hoalck, wool mer chant; Chicago and Western Soap works; Louis Slbers & Sons; Geo. O. Bertie' On the 14th Inst, three other prom inent failures occurred in Chicago, and yet the business men in Chicago say we must preserve our country's honor and continue for another four years, the present prosperous era, by electing McKlnley to continue and carry out President Cleveland's financial policy. But the people aro now thinking for ' themselves, and by their ballots In ' November will decldo they have Been ' -enough of the prosperouw gold standard era. Fartnnlal iM'e mid HUnnlal Iliineo. If tho laboring man was perennially ioved Instead of being biennially bun coed by tho, polIt'-ans, ho might be happy "yet. Ch'.cagM Dispatch Tho Danger Which Threatens Rllrrr nnit Farm I'rlrrx. Iowa wantB free silver because It will give silver prices for tho products of her farms. Our crop of corn in 1895 was 285.000,000 bushels. Tho market value on a gold basis was $18,500,000. On a silver basis It would bring $97, 000,000, or an Increase In the circula tion of Iowa for corn of $1S,500,000 in one year. Tho total crop product of Iowa farms for 1895 was, gold valuation, $108,235,420. To measure It on a sil ver basis it would bring $330,470,810, an Increase In tho currency circulation in Iowa for one year of $103,233,420. Perhaps some doubting Thomas may think freo silver would not do this. For an answer, I point to silver coun tries, where tho price of farm products Is practically double ours to-day. I point to tho circular of President Ives of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad, who admits that farm products would rise In price, but says railroad charges aro fixed by law, and the company would be paid In sil ver, and must pay Interest and bonds in gold, thus losing tho difference In exchange. Supposo the company does Buffer the loss of the exchange, would not Its share of that $1CS,235,420, tho sliver price, over und above the gold price of the crop of 1S95, moro than recompense them for tho loss In ex change, and Is the volume of their busi ness regulated by law? It must be borno In mind that Iowa Is an rvrrlcul tural state, and to lessen the value of her crops Is to cut off the life-blood of her commerce. For fifty-two weekB in the year Iowa merchants are sending money east to pay for goods. One year would drain our state of all our currency, were It not for tho crops of Iowa farms, which return the Money, thus acting as a balance-wheel to trade. To lessen the prlco of farm products Is to cut off to that extent the golden stream from the tills of Iowa's merchants, causing a congestion of money in tho oast, which destroys business in tho wejf, and in the courso of tlmo reacts on the eastern or manufacturing states also. For this reason free sliver Is preferable for Iowa to protection, as the farmers are really tho foundation of national prosperity, and it were bet ter for the whole nation to tax manu facturers and give a bounty on each bushel of crops raised than to tax the farmers by protection for tho bene fit of the losscr industry, manufactur ing. JOHN CLANCY. Clinton, Iowa, Sept. 4. A P!h for Kalr Play. The New York Independent exposes the journalistic conspiracy to misrep resent and belittle Mr, Bryan's candi dacy, and warns thoee engaged In It of the danger of a reaction. It said in its last week's Issue: "Th fact that wo do not accept Mr. Bryan's financial theories and that we repudiate tho platform on which ho stands Is no rea son for not doing him full Justice. By a number of tho leading New York papers he has not been fairly treated. It was evident beforo he reached New York that they would discredit him by fair means and unfair, and thoy cre ated for him a predestined failure. Not half of those who sought admission could get into the hall, The night was Insufferably hot, and It was nothing against his ability as a speaker that hundreds or thousands who came from curiosity went out to make room for yet others. It wa3 a disappointment to many that he read his speech; but ho could scarcely do anything else, con cldoring his representative character and the importance of the occasion. Of course, a manuscript read Is a different thing from an oration spoken, but It Is no novelty. Mr. Bryan's voice waa clear and strong, easily heard all over the Immense hall, and it was a pleasure to hoar It, so admirably was It min iated and so excellent was its quality. Those who heard Senator Hill read from manuscript a long opecch, without a gesture from beginning to end, ob served with pleasure how Mr. Bryan occasionally put down his note3, es pecially toward the end of hie address, and they could easily believe the Btories of his magnetic power. Those who have belittled him as a public speaker on the strength of what they call his failure' in Madison Squaro Garden aie apeaVlng for political effect." tho Llvos and Llborty of tho DoarOnoa of tho Laboring Man. NOHONESTM AN WOULD MAKE STATEMENTS SO DIA METRICALLY OPPOSED. John III. Thumton, McKlnley' Nobraika Aid In 1803 nud In 1800 lor Free Coinage Acnlutt It. Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, spoke the other night In Now York city In opposition to Bryan. Tho substance and method of his speech we may con sider later, Bays tho Now York Journal In commenting thereon. To-day we ask tho peoplo to consider Bomowhat tho earlier utterances on tho Issues of this campaign which Thurston deliv ered with all the eloquenco and all tho scorning unchangeable conviction which characterized his address of last night. In 1893, for example, when ho was Reeking election to the post he now fills In tho United States Benate, he wrote to the chairman of the Nebraska repub lican convention a letter in which, among other things favorable to sil ver, ho said: I ADVOCATED THE RESTORA TION OF FREE COINAGE BEFORE ANY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOW THE SELF-SELECTED CHAMPIONS OF SILVER IN NEBRASKA HAD EVER OPENED THEIR LIPS ON THE SUBJECT. WE OF THE WEST MUST HAVE CHEAP MONEY. NOT MONEY INTRINSI CALLY CHEAP, BUT CHEAP IN IN TEREST CHARGES FOR ITS USE. ' I ASSERT THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND ESPECI ALLY THOSE OF THE WEST, DE MAND THE FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE OF SILVER. About tho same time Mr. ThurBton took to writing letters to that remark able economist, Mr. George Gunton, of this city. In ono of theso communi cations, written in July, 1893, he said and perhaps It might be well to com pare this utterance with some para graphs in last night's speech: I HAVE NO DOUBT THE REMON ETIZATION OF SILVER IN THE UNITED STATES WOULD SPEED ILY AND CERTAINLY APPRECI ATE THE PRICE OF SILVER, NOT ONLY IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD. NO MATTER WHAT OTHER GOVERNMENTS DO. THIS COUNTRY OUGHT NOT TO ELIMINATE 8ILVER FROM USE AS A COIN METAL. ANY LEGIS LATION IN THAT DIRECTION WILL BE LOOKED -UPON BY THE COMMON PEOPLE AS IN THE IN TEREST OF THE MONEY POWER FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE PURCHASING POWER OF MONEY AND DECREAS ING THE SELLING PRICE OF EVERYTHING PRODUCED BY HU MAN TOIL. IT IS A FACT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY STATESMEN THAT THE PRICE OF AMERICAN SILVER AND THE PRICE OF AMERICAN WHEAT REACHED LOW WATER MARK ON THE SAME DAY. The Journal submits theso extracts from the published writings of Mr. John M. Thurston with entire confi dence that 8onator John M. Thurston can confuto them. A gentleman who can be at the same time senator of the United States and attorney for the Union Pacific Railroad company Is not likely to be disconcerted by little In consistencies in his record. Itepulillcan Platform or 1802. "The American people, from tradition and interest, are In favor of bimetal lism and demand both gold and silver as standard money," said tho republic an platform of eight years ago. "We condemn the democratic party in its ef forts to demonetize ellver," it said four years ago. The party Is now praising the antl-sllver democracy for what they dIH wbllo in power. I'rlnce Illtiuarcki "I have always been in favor of an international agreement for the restor ation of silver as a money metal, and If it cannot be had without England's help, then we ought to restore silver without her." Cnit of l'rnitnrtlnn. From a farmer's point of vlow the position that soma of tho writers take that a farmer can do nearly as well now as he could when prices for farm produco wero higher, Bay In 1870, on account of the Biipplles ho has to buy being lower, Is very absurd to say the loast. In order to Bhow tho dlfforenco between what a farmer could mako In 1870 nnd now I will glvo a fow figures aa to tho cost and profit of raising eighty acres of corn, then and now. It will require the services of ono man besides tho farmer, and as for the amount of -work, a man could do about tho samo Avork then as now, as -we had tho riding breaking plow and doublo diamond corn plow nnd double shovel corn plow In use then. Wo will count tho farmer's wages tho samo as the hired man's. The average prlco of corn In 1870 was about 40 cents n bushel; land then was worth about $45 nn acre, or $3 for rent. It Is now held at about $75 an acre, or $4.50 for rent. Cost of raising eighty ncrea of corn In 1870: To rent or Interest on Investment... 1210 To two men for six months at $25 a month SO0 To board of said men nnd farmer's wife 210 To keep of teams and wear nnd tear on harness nnd machinery ISO To eighty acres of corn nt fifty bushels an aero at 40 centB 1.C00 Net profit . , J070 Cost of raising eighty acres of corn in 1895: To rent or Interest on Investment.. $3C0 To two men six months at SIS a month til To board of two men and farmer's Wife 16J To keep of teams and wear and tear on harness and machinery 100 Total JS2S To eighty acres of corn at 18 cents a bushel 720 Net loss jui Now how is a man going to buy any thing at any prlco at this rate, which Is a poor way of stating matteru Just as they are? A good many of us fool farmers (anarchists) think tho demone tization of silver Is partly tho causv of this state of things. H. LANDIN. Auburn, 111. Laborer In r.nclr. Tie Canton correspondent of one of our Republican contemporaries tells a very pathetic story of hpw several hun dred Ohio laborers who have been thrown out of employment by the Dem ocratic "free trade" tariff bill chartered a special train and Journeyed all tho way to the homo of tho Republican Presidential nominee to pledge him their support. It is quite natural that unemployed worklngmcn should cm ploy special trains and travel about the country to exploit their displeas ure. Special trains, and especially spe cial trains to Canton, are becoming CYery-day occurrences. In the event of the election of McKlnley and Ho bart, there will bo legislative and ad ministrative acts which will force the taxpayers to foot the bills for all the special trains and other contributions tho corporations aro making to th Republican campaign fund. Ilrran In 18031 "You may think that you havo burled the causo of bimetallism; you may congratulate yoursplves that you have laid the free coinage of silver away In a sepulcher, newly-mado slnco tho elec tion, and before the door rolled the veto stone. But, sirs. If our cause la Just, as I bellevo It Is, your labor has ' been In vain! no tomb was over made ' bo strong that It could Imprison a , righteous cause. Silver will lay aside ' its grave clothes and its shroud. It I will yet rise, and In Its rising and itv reign will bless mankind."
