Ik the Detroit Journal's supposed Bryan cabinet John P. Altgeld is put down for attorney-general, and classed as an anarchist Republicans are not worrying about such possibilities. The democratic dinner in New York, ao it is said, cost $12 a plate; and this is the kind of plutocracy that is expecting their cry against the "plutocrats'' to be taken in earnest. Bryan's action in this regard looks clownish. Dok't fail to do all the electioneering work you know how to do, before elec tion day.

No one will question that the fanner gets about three-fifths of it, for he furnishes everything ex cept the tea or coffee. Then the railroad gets some, the wholesaler, the grocer, the butcher and the baker. Suppose there were 10,000,000 full dinner palls and they were filled 800 days In the year. At 12 cents apiece that would be $300,000,000 for the farmer alone and $240,000,000 to be divided between the others.

When the pall Is full and the stomach Is full, then we see the bank book In use; we see the comforts and luxuries at home; we see the well clad wife and children; we see the piano and pictures, the carpets and substan tial furniture. It Is the full boiler that means steam and speed and power. It Is the full stomach that means effi cient work. Then, again, when the dinner pall Is full the lunch counter and the res taurant and the dining rooms are well patronized, and all the while the In creased demand Is benefiting the farm er and raising the prices of his prod ucts.

"Btjadstreef s," that argus eyed ob server of trade conditions In this coun try, calls attention to the fact that the failures reported for the past six months are the fewest in number for the same period In 18 years. There were 4,880 failures with estimated as sets at $27,475,514 and' liabilities of $00,064,208. In the face of these facts a person would be foolhardy to declare that business has not prospered under Re publican control. The record of the past four years, or since McKlnley took office in Washington,, shows a steady decline in the number of fail ures and In liabilities. This is, of course, an isolated trade fact, but when It is combined with the other factors of the business situation an Interest ing condition Is discovered. The bank clearings throughout the country have steadily grown, showing infallibly that business to Increasing. Railroads and other corporations are paying dividends without a question as to earning capacity. Our foreign com merce has risen to an Importance and a volume unprecedented In the history of the country, and In the face of all these gigantic trade movements the failures have grown to the smallest number In 18 years. Does the Intelligent voter wish to change this condition of affairs? Does he desire to create a condition where business may fall off, failures increase and debts be paid in a depreciated cur rency? If he does, let him vote for Bryan. Philadelphia Inquirer. mm i M IMOMr. ifLKl CANNOT VOTE FOR BRYAN. A Ufeleaar Demeerat Tells Why He Meat Sanpert McKlalejr. William T. Baker, ex-presldent of the Chicago board of trade and of the World's fair and one of the leading Democrats of Chicago, has made an open statement of his purpose to vote for McKlnley this falL In a letter made public the other day he makes a powerful attack against Bryan, who, be says, personifies 10 to 1 and lawless ness and Is the greatest 'imperialist" since Napoleon Bonaparte. Mr. Baker has been well known In the past for his convictions In favor of free trade and for his aggressive Inter est in the work of the National Tariff Reform league. Mr. Baker says, how ever, that even the Democratic doc trine of free trade has been abandoned for principles that mean restriction of trade and through the Popullstic atti tude on trusts a "limitation of all suc cessful enterprise within state lines." Mr. Baker says In part: "Since Napoleon Bonaparte there has been no greater Imperialist than Bryan himself. His will is the law of the party that supports him, and If elected he would endeavor to rule the entire nation with the same Iron hand. Na poleon deluged Europe In blood to reach a throne, and Bryan would not hesitate to wreck every Industry in the land to attain the presidency. "This talk of Imperialism la like the rattle of the snake that hurts nobody. It Is the head of the reptile that Is dan gerous, and there yon will Ind the free all ver bite. "The paramount Issue la exactly the same now that it was In 1896. Itlaltf to 1 and lawlessness as personified by Bryan versus the gold standard and the security It brings. I shall vote for McKlnley aa representing the latter." vie et According to the census returns, the population "of Lincoln, Neb., has -declined from 55,154 in 1800 to 40,160 In 1900. That town affords a striking ex ample of the effects of the antiexpan alon policy so earnestly advocated by Its leading citizen. Cleat The most remarkable signifies nee la Mr. Bryan's letter of acceptance to the Democrats is his silence upon every thing and every subject In which Amer ican worklngmen aa a class have an in teratt. ....... MJkl I The first of the two days of the Banna speaking "in Nebraska culminated in Lincoln where, owing to the immense crowds, Mr. Hanna spoke at three differ ent places. In answer to the statement made by Mr. Bryan that the republican campaign managers had entered upon extensive bribery in order to secure the election of the republican ticket, Sena Hanna said "I want to hurl it back in his teeth and tell him it s aa false as h L When it cornea down to personal ities I am willing to stand before the American people on my record as a business man and let him stand on his. I "have been in business for-years, em ploy 6,000 men, pay the highest wages, treat them like men and they all respect me and when Mr. Bryan or any other man charges upon me, and I am willing to appropriate it all , as I am chairman of that board of managers of this repub lican campaign, with any such measures aa those I propose to burl it back and denounce him as a demagogue in his own town." BRYAN AN UNWORTUV SLANDERER. Mr. Hanna referred to Mr. Bryan's reference to him as a "labor crusher,'' made first during his senatorial cam paign in 1897, and said: "I want to remind every man that a man who in a contest 'will drag an honorable name into the mire for the sake of votes is not worthy to be considered for the high office of president of the United States. And I believe there are thousands of men in Nebraska who resent it as an in sult to their intelligence and ideas. of fair play and justice, because when a roan has the opportunity through news papers or publio rostrum to make charges too trilling to be denied and those charges do go undenied and enter into the minds of the people, I say any man who will use such tactics to fur ther his own selfish ambition is not fit to be constable." At Nebraska City, the starch works whistles blew a noisy welcome to Sena tor Hanna, and J. Sterling Morton escorted Mr. Hanna to his carriage. He discussed the subject of trusts saying that he knew something about trusts having baen in business for forty years, and has now in his employ C.000 men. Mr. Hanna then entered into a discus sion of the trust issue and reminded his hearers that every law against trusts on the statute books of the northern states had been passed by republican legisla tures. He referred to the resolution in troduced in congress last winter to amend the constitution so as to make it possible for the federal government to control trusts which were pernicious in their effect on trade, and stated that it was defeated by democratic votes. Con tinuing, Mr. Hanna said: "Why, my friends, according to Mr. Bryan's ideas, there is not a single man ufacturing concern, thousands of which are growing up all over this land, bring ing prosperity with them, enlarging and developing our resources, furnishing labor to thousands, but that is a trust, and should be wiped from the face of the earth. You have had an object les son in your own town here, when he attempted to destroy that great indus try of yours, the National starch factory. The policy which he advises, if followed, would paralyze all the industries of this country, because capital, always timid, would shrink from any investments which could be reached through the legislation of demagogues. The following paragraph in the regu lar order of daily news appeared under date of October 8 from Waxahachie, Texas, so that it seems there is no scarcity of work even in Texas: "Today was the first day of jury civil week in county court here and but halt the jur ors summoned responded to their names, offering excuses at the same time why they should not be compelled to serve. All asked to be excused on account of the enormous crop and shortage of hands to gather it After consulting with the attorneys Judge Lancaster excused the jnrors and continued the entire jury docket over to the January term." Senator Hanna, after his trip through South Dakota and Nebraska, says: "I have taken South Dakota out of the doubtful column. There is no doubt in my mind that its electoral vote will be cast for MoKinley. Of course, surface indications are all one can go by on a trip of that kind, but the immense crowds I talked to, and the warm greet ings I received, leave no other opinion possible. Personally, I thoroughly be lieve Nebraska will also go for McKin ley." ttUUftal Steal. BwMmmWBmBflliaml S. D. Avery died at his home in Oakland precinct last Sunday morning. He has had trouble with his kidneys for quite a while, which is probably the cause of his demise. Mr. Avery was one of the first settlers of this county.

Of these men all are now dead ex cept Mr. Stout, who is still a resident of Albion. Mr. Avery built the first house in Albion which is still standing on the corner of Second and Church streets. For several years he was active in assist ing homesteaders to settle here. He owned the site of Mansfield's addition, which he sold to Mr. Mansfield. After this he homesteaded in Oakland pre cinct where he lived till death claimed him.

HIS RECORD ON QUESTIONS AFFECT ING LABOR. le Bleetlea the Freslateat- WU1 Heaa to the Amerteam Earaer He Steads For Lea Islatlei lnlml1 te the Teller. By Bm..Cmrlc B. Cromaor of Ohio. In the eddying fight, amid din and roar of the fallen guns of Imperialism and militarism, there la danger the peo ple of this country may lose sight of the fact that the election of Mr. Bryan weans the overthrow of the protective tariff system and the Introduction of a free trade programme into the policy of the government. Our people have abort memories, and they sometimes forget and need to be reminded. Mr. Bryan waa a member of the Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses and took n very active part at once up on taking has seat. In the Fifty-third congress, of which I was a member, the Wilson bill waa under considera tion. It waa the passage of that bill which plunged this country Into ruin. It does not aaake any difference what people say about the origin, of hard ttnees, the intelligent laboring man of this country knows very well that he ceased to earn a living for himself and family because of the demoralization of buslaeas caused by the repeal of the McKlnley law and the passage of the WOaonact. It was that which precipi tated wages to the lowest ebb that they have been for many a year. It was that which sent marching columns f hungry men over the country de maudlng food. It waa the passage of that km that nude It Impossible for any Intelligent man to listen for a moment to the speeches of such men aa Bryan hi 1898. Ob the boot of the house in the de bates am the Wilson bill Bryan took the extreme free trade ground. His speeches are on record, and the labor ing men of the country can find them and read them. He especially an nounced himself as In favor of absolute free trade upon nanny of the leading products of the farm, notably wool. which he insisted should be put upon the free Bt of the Wilson bill. When that hm waa passed by the concurrence of the house. In the 600 amendments of the senate It was-Bryan and Hon. Jo seph Bailey, n representative from the state ef Texaa, who hi their ecstasy taehamnion who was the puta- J tlve father of the law, the Hon. W. L. Wilson of West Virginia, and carried him on their shoolders In a triumphal procession through the house of repre sentatives Into the cloakroom, and a aaturnalia of Joy resounded from those premises. It was Bryan who favored the Introduction of foreign material Into this country free of charge. It was Bryan who demanded that all raw material such a& wool, coat Iron and everything which entered Into the man ufacture of goods should be Imported free, and It waa his Influence more than" any other man's that brought about the terrible' result with which we arc so familiar. It was Bryan's earnest demand that put wool on the free list, and hi that debate he declared that he did not care whether it benefited or hurt the wool grower. It was Bryan who drove the tariff on coal down to such an extent as to flood the eastern markets with coal and stimulate the growth of the development of coal in the British pos sessions In the northeast and practi cally drove us out of the seaboard mar kets with the soft coal of central states. It was Bryan who advocated the low tariff on agricultural products and utterly refused to discriminate or allow discrimination In favor of the products of the west and middle west. The laboring men of the country and the farmers of the country before they plunge themselves Into the vortex that Is being held out should get Bryan's record and read It It Is a very Inter esting chapter In the personal politics of that gentleman. The platform made at Kansas City Is very adroit hi laying the foundation for an enactment lu congress should Bryan be elected sat isfactory to his history aud record. Not daring to assail protection directly, he came at It in the platform which he personally conducted as follows: "Tariff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts upon the free list We condemn the Dlngley tariff law as a trust breeding measure, skillfully devised," etc. That is the platform of the party de nominated the Democratic party and whose nomination Mr. Bryan accepted. The original Populist party, whose candidate Mr. Bryan now is I refer to the Sioux Falls nomination also places Itself on record in a similar attitude. So Mr. Bryan, without any apology for the past, stands upon a series of plat forms all squinting In the direction of free trade, and In the event of his elec tion, with a congress subservient to his dictation, as was the convention at Kansas City, we may look for just such legislation as precipitated this country Into the condition with which we are all familiar. It Is therefore very unwise for the people of the coun try to be led away from the two great propositions of Mr. Bryan's life, the two propositions which make up Bry anlsm to wit, free and unlimited coin age of sliver and free trade and fol low off after the illusion and delusion of imperialism.
