Freteetiea aa Prosperity.
The same general principles apply to
the nation as to the individual, the
latter being the unit from the aggrega
tion of which the nation is composed.
When individuals do not lire within
their income, they go behind, just as tlio
United States has been doing under
this administration. The government
did not take in money enough to pay
current expenses, and was compelled or
thought it was compelled to use its
credit, and issue a vast amount of its
bonds (interest-bearing of course) to
meet current expenses and keep the
money manipulators from striking the
country with panic.
Now to be prosperous the govern
ment (which of course is the people),
must provide an income at least suffi
cient to meet expenses. This was
formerly done by means of a tariff placed
upon goods shipped into this country
from abroad (mainly upon such luxuries
as we conld dispense with, or such nec
essaries of life as could be profitably
produced at home); under this system,
our home market was built up; our
American work shops were crowded with
orders for goods of all kinds, and men
were employed at remunerative wages,
and, getting wages for their work, they
had money to spend for the products of
the farm and the factory. Four years
ago no man in America who conld and
who would work, but could get a job of
work to do at fair wages.
That, after all, is the fair and full test
olaaminiatratinnJn any line, and it 13 a
thoroughly practical test.
When an average American citizen, of
good capacity for work, cannot get
something to do to help sustain his wife
and little ones, in times of natural
plenty, there is something radically
wrong, because the inherent rights of
"life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness" have been disturbed to the citi
zen's injury, by an administration of
government that has left him out of
consideration, either maliciously or
ignorantly.
The administration through which
the American people are now endeavor
ing, not to amass wealth, but to save
the pieces; not to prosper, but to exist
until a change comes for the better, has
been among the very worst of our whole
history, and yet, even this administra
tion has not reached the deepest depths
of bad management.
The slump toward free trade, which
has so utterly undone in three years the
work of a life time of protection (de
struction is so much quicker than con
struction) was a privileged work con
ferred upon the democratic party by
those voters who four years ago listened
to the syren song of "tariff reform,"
"legislation for the masses as against the
classes," etc.
The only safe way is to think and
think and think (there is plenty of time
between this and November) and then
vote; do your own thinking and vote
your own sentiment.
As a nation, four years ago we were
getting along in fairly good shape and
reducing the public debt.
The new administration monkeyed
with the tariff, and here we nre.
Get down to first principles.
Vote for McKinley and Hobart.
Let It Be Watterxon.
If the sound-money democrats are to
nominate a presidential ticket, let the
name of Henry Watterson of Kentucky
be at the head. Mr. Watterson is the
perfect type of the old-fashioned demo
crat. He is courteous, he is scholarly,
he has faith in state's rights, he is a
free trader, he is a sonnd-monoy man;
and he is that which very old-fashioned
democrats are, a person of wit, a log:,
ciau, a ready writer and an orator.
Mr. Watterson's oratory will lo more
than a match for Mr. Bryan's in the
south, and also in the east, and even in
the west the Kentuckiau will lie as
strong as the young man from Ne
braska. The nomination of Mr. Watterson will
make tariff the chief issue in debate, as
it is in fact. It also will consolidate the
democrats against the populists, and it
will give to Major McKinley a foeman
worthy of his steel. Inter Ocean.
Today at St. Louis there convene the
representatives of populists and the na
tional silver party, and one of the prac
tical questions before both of them is
whether to endorse Bryan's nomination,
already made by the silver wing of the
democracy. Many populists think this
endorsement would be a weakening of
the party that would ba fatal to its
future continuance, and hence not to be
thought of. Another proposition is to
nominate Teller and agree to divide the
electoral tickets on the basis that the
strongest man win after the general re
sult is known. This proposition is
thought to be feasible, but after all the
politicians' scheming is over, tho people
will decide by ballot. McKinley stock
is rising.
As declared by the Inter Ocean, Chi
cago is the only perfect convention city
in America. The unanimous verdict of
newspaper correspondents is the same.
The late democratic convention met in
the most complete and perfect ball ever
provided for a great gathering. It per
mitted the assembling of 15,000 to 20,000
people under one roof, with perfect com
fort and without crowding or interfering
with the work of the convention. The
crowds went to and from the Coliseum
at Sixty-third street with as much com
fort as they went to the wigwam on the
Lake Front four years ago. Of course
the Chicago committee conld pot be held
responsible for the manner of distribu
ting the tickets and conducting the con
vention. The- Madison Chronicle wants to
know what's the matter with Nebraska,
politically? Senator Thurston is second
only to McKinley as the leading repub
lican of the country; Wm. Jennings
Bryan is the presidential candidate of
the free silver democrats; C. E. Bentley
is the prohibitionists' candidate for
president and our own Wm. V. Allen
is the acknowledged leader of the popu
lists of the nation. No other state in
the union can show such an array of
poliiiaal leaders as our own fair Ne
braska. The West Point Republican is moved
to aay; "The result of the state convep
tioa will likely cause complications in
the congressional race and that it brings
prominently into the field such men as
Meiklejohn, McNisb, Valentine, Robert
son and John R Hays, who have not as
yet been brought as candidates." Why
not make it unanimous for Hammond
thjja tune, and see the others later?

Denver, July 21. Senator Teller
and six of his associates who left, the
national Republican convention last
evening made public an addreaf Jfo the
silver Republicans of the country set
ting forth their views of the situation.
The silver Republicau congressmen and
senators have been in conference at
Manitou for several days over their
statement. In addition to those signing
the address. Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota and Senator Cannon of Utah
are declared to be in sympathy with it
although Senator Cannon was not pre
sent at the conferences owing to busi
ness engagements in Boston. The ad
dress is as follows:
We deem it fitting that we, who have
heretofore affiliated .with the national
Republican party, and who have rejected
the financial plank of the platform
adopted at St. Lioui and refused to sup
port the nominees of the convention,
should state our position in the presi
dential campaign and give nrlafly our
reasons in support thereof.
When certain delegates to the national
Republican convention repudiated the
financial plank of the platform and with
drew troin the convention, we determined
that we would give our Mipport to such
candidates as should appear moat willing
and capable of aiding in the restoration of
silver to its rightful place as standard
money. The Democratic party in its
Chicago convention has taken a position
in its platform so pronouncedly favorabla
to silver and hm nominated candidates of
such uuquestlouabiu convictions in favor
of the bimetallic policy and of such high
personal character that we have de
termined to give them our support We
support such candidates because they rep
resent the great principla of bimetallism,
which wc believe to be the case of humau
ity and civilization and the paramount
question now before the American people.
Will Sapport Kxf aa SswaU.
We therefore announce that ws shall,
by voice and vote, support Messrs. Bryan
and Sewall for ptcsidebt and vice presi
dent, and we appeal to all citizens, and
especially to Republicans, who feel as wa
do. that gold monometallism would be of
lasting Injury to the country, to act with
us in securing their election. The Demo
crats who believe in tin gold standard an
announcing their intention to support
McKinley or proposing to put a third can
didate in the field for the avowed purpose
of aiding Mr. McKinley's election. A.
great number of leading and influential
Democratic journals have declared that
they will support the Republican nomi
nees. It is evident there is to be a union
of forces on the part of lb? advocates and
supporters of the gold standard to elect
Mr. McKinley and a congress favorable to
bun which will support the financial pol
icy outlined in the Republican platform.
Tothosa who believe In bimetallism,
which means the equal treatment of both
gold and silver at the mints pf the nation,
there is but one course to pursue, and (hat
Is to unite all the silver forces and to op
pose with all our might the candidate
representing the policy which we believe
is fraught with disaster to the nation and
ruin to the pecpls.
Deftae Gold MeamatallsiB
Gold monometallism means the shifting
to gold alone, as primary money, all the
burdens of commerce and credit formerly
bprpo by gold and silver, and as the
world's stock of these metals has always
been about equal in amount, it means th
doubliug of the burden upon gold. Doub
ling the burden upon gold means doub
ling the demand for tha same, and
doubling tho demand of necessity, doubles
the value thereof. This gradual shifting
to gold of all the burdens of both gold
and silver has caused a gradual and steady
Increase in the value of every dollar re
deemable in gold and hence a gradual and
steady decline in the value of every com
modity that ia measured by that dollar.
Tho representatives and supporters of
Mr. McKinley consented to the Insertion
In the St- Ioufs platform of the gold
standard declaration, thinly veneered by
a declaration for bimetallism "'whop th
leading commercial nations of the world
should consent," but until thatoonseut
was secured, the gold standard must be
maintained. It is well known that this
couseot cannot be secured from Great
Britain, and that such declaration for bi
metallism means nothing with this lim
itation upon it.
MeKbriey Staaak aa the Platfora.
Mr. McKinley consented to the declara
tion for the gold standard in the platform
and In hU recent speeches has accepted It
and has become the advocate thereof; be
baa shown by his speeches heretofore
made that be understood the danger of
the gold standard and the distress which
would be inflicted upon tha American peo
ple by its adoption, and yet he pledges the
people to support and maintain that sys
tem, and fasten upon them all the evils of
the financial tystem. which he has hereto
fore repudiated, if they will make him
president.
Whatever may have been his attitude
on the money question in the past, he
must ineviatably hereafter suppoit the
same financial system that the present
Democratic administration has, and, if
sleeted, must continue the policy of Mr.
Cleveland in the sale of bonds iu tme of
peace. Hence, with the success of Mr.
McKinley, we may look for a continued
increase of tho publlo debt and the tale of
bonds to maintain the gold standard.
Gaasa of Prsssat Distress.
That tbs condition of the country is not
satisfactory all admit. The producers of
wealth are not receiving fair and proper
compensation for their labor, whether in
field, factory or mine; enterprise has
ceased; values are constantly declining;
labor is unemployed; discontent and dis
tress prevail to an extent never before
known in tits history of this country, and
no reason cap be found for such an un
happy condition, save in a vicious mone
tary system.
Those who profess to deplore the present
financial condition and oppose the free
coinage of silver, are divided In opinion
as to the present cause of the present con
dition. Spcie declare that it is because
we have too much tariff; others that we
have not enough, while the fact exists
that every gold standard country In the
world, whether It has a high or low tariff,
is now and has been during recent years
in the throes of a financial panic, and
every silver standard country compared
with its former condition, is enjoying an
industrial development and a degree of
prosperity hitherto unknown In its his
tory. While thus differing in opinion,
they unite in asserting that the gold
standard must be maintained until for
eign country shall signify their willing
ness that the American people shall exer
cise the rights of free men and create a
financial system of their own." If WP
overlook the humiliation and degradation,
we must feel on account of such a declara
tion of financial dependency, we may
well inquire when tbs consent of the lead
ing commercial nations will be obtained
No one who has read the proceedings of
the three international monetary confer
ences that hare already been held, qr who
has examined the impracticable proposi
tion presented at those conferences can
for a moment believe that any interna
tional bimetallic agreement can ever be
made with the consent of "all the leading
'commercial nations of the world."

la Mr, Bryan, the Chicago convention
placed at the head of its ticket a gen tie
man of exceptional ability and of high
character. No man of his age was better
known throughout th) United States than
he. A member of congress for four years,
he commanded the admiration and re
spect of all his associates in that body as
a scholarly statesman and profound
thinker. No mau has ever assailed his
character or in any way questioned his
Integrity or moral worth. His character
is a fit example for tho young men of
this country. He ha? shown- In all his
public utterances that he loves hl coun
try and countrymen and that he sympa
thises with them in their distress. He
has also shown that he believes
the financial system, which makes
gold the .standard of values, was
In a great degree the cause
of the depression and financial distress
prevalent throughout the land; that the
condition now existing will continue
while the present monetary system lasts
and that he would fain return to the use
of both gold and silver as they were used
prior to 1873 and he has proposed such a
change of the financial fystem by the
usual constitutional methods.
Profoundly Impressed with the im
portance of the issue of this campaign, for
ourselves and our associates, we respect
fully submit the foregoing to the caudid
consideration of the American people.

Bryan Mea Claim a Majority.
Each faction asserts that it desires to
preserve the autonomy of the party or
ganization and that its way is the- way.
Shipwrecked hopes and a bolt seem in
evitable, no matter what the ultimate
outcome is. The Bryan supporters
claim to be in the majority. They are
well organized. Their leaders are
shrewd aud sagacious many of them
experienced politicians and in addition
to this they have the opinion and active
support of the silver party leaders,
whose convention is likely to be simply
a Bryan ratification meeting, and of
Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, who is here
with his lieutenants striving to this end.
Their strength spreads over the entire
country west of the Missouri, where the
cause of silver is paramount.

, the scheme with avidity on the theory
' that it would aid them in maintaining
the entirety of the party for which they
have held out so vigorously.
The Bryan people had no sooner
heard of the proposition than a Bryan
meeting was called, which, in the forci
ble language of one who attended, "pro
ceeded to immediately jump on it with
both feet." This Bryan meeting and
j the one which followed between repre
sentatives of the Bryan element and
1 representatives of the executive com
! mittee constituted the important events
of the day. The result of these meet
ings is a probable split in the party and
' the likelihood of indorsing Bryan or
. nominating another candidate, or the
j nomination of Bryan and another c.ui
. didate for vice president than Sewall,
will havo to-be fought out iu the con
vention.
Bryaa Ssatlsasat Growing?.
At the night meeting of the Bryan
followers the large parlor which they
make their headquarters was crowded
to suffocation. Reports made by those
in attendance indicated a gradual
growth of Bryan sentiment and reports
were made to the effect that the solid
delegations from North and South Da
kota and New Mexico, aggregating 33
votes, could be counted upon for the
indorsement of the Democratic nom
inee. Chums were also made of the
South Carolina delegation, and it was
represented that rapid progress was be
ing made in Illinois, California and
i Pennsylvania.
There was considerable discussion of
the effect which the indorsement of Mr.
Bryan or the failure to indorse him
would have upon the Populist vote. The
opinion expressed by the representa
tives of the northwestern states was to
the effect that if Mr. Bryan was not
indorsed the party would lose from 25
50 per cent of its vote in that section.
Captain Kolb and Colonel Brown, who
were present for the first time at a
Bryan meeting, gave the same opinion
as to the consequences in the state of
Alabama of such a course.
The presence of Captain Kolb gave
much encouragement to the Bryan peo
ple, as he had formerly been noncom
mittal. He presided at the evening
meeting. When the meeting adjourned
the managers expressed great confidence
In Mr. Bryan's success in the conven
tion. The opposition expressed doubts
as to this and some of them say that if
Bryan and Sewall are indorsed, they
will go ahead with their independent
nominations.

WILSON BILL'S SECOND YEAR.
feaiporte off Foreign Goods Larger
Wkw First faactod.
The second year of the Gorman tariff
began, as far as comparison by statistics
)an be shown, in Septetmber last. This
koint should bo remembered because we
aote that some free trade papers have
jompared our September and October
foreign trade returns for this year with ;
Ibe figures for the corresponding' months
I year ago. Their object is to show that ;
we are not importing much more for
eign stuff than hut year, trusting that
their readers will forget that the Gor
man law was also in force during the
tame mouths of 1894. To institute a
fair comparison we must go farther
lack to 1893 and we give our im
ports for that and the two subsequent
fears in the September and October
months :

Tho year 1893 is the one that free
trado papers adopted as their standard.
They used to say it was not fair to
make comparisons with 189-1. They
Wanted 1893. Let them have it. In
September, 1891, our imports of foreign
goods were 14,314,000 larger than in
1898. This year, in September, they
were nearly f i.,ooo,ooo greater tuau
last year and almost $19,000,000 greater
than iu 1893.
In October the increase in imports
was still greater. Iu 1894 WO bought
over $8,250,000 worth more foreign
stuff than iu 1893, aud this year $15,
000,000 more than in 1894, and $23,
250,000 more than in 1893. The grad
ual increase in the figures of the above
table, iu each column, indicates how we
are buying more aud more foreign stuffs
the longer the Gorman tariff is in force.
For the two mouths of 1891 we bought
over $12,500,000 more than in 1893;
for the two mouths of this year we
bought from abroad nearly $30,000,000
worth more than a year ago and $42,300,
000 worth more thou under the McKin
ley tariff in 1893. Now let us study our
exports:

Here, for the mouth of September, we
find a gradual decrease in our exports,
the shipments being almost $13,000,000
less this year than in 1893. For the Oo-,
tober month thero was but little varia
tion, the loss this year being $833,000
as compared with 1 893. For two months
the decrease iu 1894 was $15,000,000
as compared with 1893, and this year
the decrease was almost $13,800,000.
Deducting the imports of t be two months
in each year from the exports, we get
the balance of trade iu our favor:

Where the balance of trade for the
tWQ months of 1893 was $57,857,366 in
our favor, it was ouly $39,685,475 in
our favor in 1894, a loss that year of
$28,330,000 in two months. This year
the balance of trade in our favor was
only $1,763,504, nearly $38,000,000
less than in 1894 and $56,000,000 less
for the two months than under the Mc
Kinley tariff. The second year of the
Gorman tariff is, therefore, infinitely.
Worse for American prosperity than its
first year.

In June, 1893, before the present ad

capita circulation of money in the United
States was 424.44. A year later, after
the present administration's assumption
of power, it had fallen to $23.87, a
loss of 0.57 per cajuta- At the beginning
of this month it was only $21.65, a loss
in circulation of $2. 22 since 1898, and
a loss of 92.79 per capita since the pro

Tuesday of last week Eugene Marc
Francois fired two shots from a revolver
at President Faure of the French re
public, neither taking effect. The
weapon contained undischarged blank
cartridges, and Francois claimed the
ones shot were also blank. He said,
when arrested that he did the deed sim
ply to create a sensation and thus call
attention to his grievances. He has be
fore been under suspicion.
The whirligig of tirao brings in soma
curious happenings, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Who would have
thought a few years ago that David B.
Hill would be the champion of President
Cleveland in a democratic convention;
and who would have thought, after
Cleveland had been three times the pres
idential candidate of the democracy, a
democratic convention would refuse by
an overwhelming majority to indorse his
administration?
As to the populist convention at St.
Louis today, it is thought that Senator
Allen of Nebraska will be put forward
for temporary and permanent chairman.
Chairman Taubeneck of the people's
party national committee, says that
under no consideration will he vote to
endorse Bryan and Sewall; that would
mean the surrender and daatraction of
tha populist party.
