The love which the great silver mine
owners' syndicate bears for the poor
working man does not prevent It from
filling the places of the striking Load-
vlllo miners vlth new importations of
non-union labor.
Bryan advises the farmers to protect
themselves against the men who produce
nothing hut laws. How about protecting
themselves against the men who , like
Bryan , are sent to congress to help pro
duce wise laws , but who produce vicious
legislation ?
Does abstaining from editorial refer
ence to a forgery offer-any excuse for
giving It publicity In the news columns *
The editor of the Bryan Kake Mill , who
was tripped up on the .T. Francis For-
sy.tlie forgery , is wondering what aii-
swor this public Is giving this question.
"Free trade nnd free silver are the
false friends of labor. They lure with
promise of cheap commodities and cheap
money. The partial trial of free trade
haa proved that the cheap commodities
promised are dear to labor and at the
cost of labor ; and cheap money will he
equally dear to them anil a sacrlllcc of
their highest and best interests. " Wil
liam McKinley.
The Fake Mill suggests that the .7.
Francis Fonythu forgery , which it an-
mltfl circulating knowing that It bore
the earmarks of forgery , may have been
a practical Joke. That is possible , but
not probable. But the reproduction of
the forgery In the World-Herald was no
practical joke. That paper inserted it
in Its columns , not caring whether it
was a forgery or not.
The World-Herald is very much exer
cised over the rowdy-like conduct of
the Vale students who broke up Mr.
Bryan's New Haven meeting , but It tried
to excuse and apologize for the Bryan
rowdies who tried to break up the Cock-
ran meeting In tills city. Ail Kiicn
rutllnnly interference with the right of
free speech IB certainly to he deprecated
and denounced. But why should the
Bryan organ make Hsh of the New
Haven boisterousness and flesh of the
prearranged Omaha demonstration ?
Never before in the history of Ne
braska politics lias an Impending elec
tion caused such universal demoraliza
tion of business. Kvory man is more
or less affected , and no matter what
bo hla walk of life he has altered his
plans awaiting the result of the presi
dential election. Trade Is paralyzed.
Nobody wants to do business in a state
of uncertainty. The future cannot be
discounted. Under wch conditions It Is
not at all remarkable that the managers
of the exposition liavo postponed the
election of directors until December ,
Mr. Frank Itansom will address the
South Side Grenadiers next Tuesday ,
The Grenadiers are presumed to be
men who measure over six feet In their
stockingH , But as each man casts only
one -vote , whether ho bo short or long ,
la not the question of the tallest man
knocking the persimmons. The only
thing of Interest to the average voter In
Douglas county Is whether Itansom
still flu I ms to be a republican on every
issue except free silver. If he docs ,
will hu support republican state and
county candidates or does free silver
require him to swallow the whole popo-
crude menagerie ?

knows that we enjoyed more than tci
years of unexampled prosperity am
good prices between 387JJ and ISO. !
Judge Maxwell certainly cannot liavi
forgotten that corn was used as fuel It
Nebraska and Iowa in 1S71 , two years
before the Imaginary conspiracy ngalns

prices always follow siiperabuadan
crops. In tilt ? 'Ms ) fanners linulei

Judge Maxwell arraigns the repub
llcnn party for allowing the English U
force the gold standard upon us , wliei
he knows that the United Slates 1mi
practically had the gold standard sne ! <

Maxwell arraigns the republican partj
further for Inserting In Its platforn
Hie declaration that the present stand
ard of value should bo maintained null
an International agreement Is intuit
and denounces this declaration as tin
most cowardly statement ever made bj
any party speaking for a nation of 70 ,
000,001) of people.
Judge Maxwell lias evidently forgot
ten that the most sagacious statesmei
of our time have scouted the idea tha
tlio rnited States alone could malntali
sliver on a parity with gold at the rath
of HI to 1 with unlimited free coinage
James G. Blalne , who was an avowei
blinetallist , and no toady to Kngland
declared in the senate during the dis
cussion of the Bland bill in February
1878 :
The difficult problem Is what we shall < 1 (
when we aim to re-establish silver wlthoui
the co-operation ot European powers am
really as an advance movement to coerc (
thoao powers Into the same policy. If wi
coin a silver dollar of full legal tcndei
obviously below the current value of th <
gold dollar we are simply opening our doon
and Inviting Europe to take our sold. Will
our gold flowing out from us we shall b (
forced to the single silver standard and oui
relations with the leading commercial na
tlons of the world will not only be embar
rassed , but crippled. If I were to vcntun
a dictum on the silver question , I shouli
declare that until Kurope remonetlzes sllvei
wo cannot afford to coin a dollar as low ai
412 % grains.
Ami this was said by .Tames G. Blalni
when the silver dollar was worth W.
cents * in gold.
On the 17th of May , 1S70 , during i
discussion of a bill to revise the statute.
relating to the coinage and coin am
bullion certificates , James A. Garlicid
among other thing * , .said :
No man can doubt that within recen
years , and notably within recent months , thi
leading thinkers of the civilized world hav <
become alarmed at the attitude of the tw <
precious metals in relation to each other
and yet , outside of this capital , I do no
this day know of a single great recognize !
advocate of bimetallic money who regard !
It prudent or safe for any nation to Increase
the coinage of silver at the present tlmi
largely beyond the limit fixed by exlstlnf
law. The most strenuous advocates of bl >
metalllsm say It would be ruinous to bl
metalllsm for France or the Latin Union tc
coin any more silver at present. Yet , we ,
who , during the past two years , have coined
far more silver dollars than we ever before
coined since the foundation of the govern
ment , ten times aa many as we coined dur
ing half a century of our national life , are
today Ignoring and defying the enlightened
universal opinion of hlmetallists , and say
ing that the United StaU-s , single-handed
and alone , can enter the Held nnd settle tills
mighty lasue.Vo justifying the old proverb ,
that fools rush InIicic angels fear to tread ,
* * It I read the signs In the political
horizon , the ) time Is just at hand when men
who love their country , Its honor and Us
plighted faith aliovo political party , will
stand guard against this new heresy , known
aa American finance. Jt IE an Issue of such
transcendent Importance that It may render
ell others obsolete. It Is a struggle of
honor against dishonor , of law against an
archy , a struggle In which are Involved the
pcaco and safety of both employer and cm-
ployed , government and people.
According to Judge Maxwell the act
of 187.5 demonetized silver llrst by ceas
ing to coin standard silver dollars and
second by making silver a legal tender
for $5 and no more. Both these asser
tions are misleading , Thomas Jefferson
Issued an order In 180C to stop the coin
age of standard sliver dollars nnd none
were coined for thirty years , and yet
no advocate of unlimited free coinage
lias denounced Jefferson , In the limita
tion of legal tender the act of 187H
did not differ from the act of 185. %
That act limited the legal tender of nil
silver coins below the dollar to live
dollars. The assertion that by LUo act
of 187i ; thu government discredited its
own coin and left It a dead weight in
tlie hands of the holders , to be sold ns
bullion , is also baseless. lOvery stand
ard silver dollar coined beforw 187:5 : re
mained H full legal tender , but even if
It had been left a dead weight in the
hands of the holders It would have sold
as bullion for more than Its face value.
The remainder of Judge. Maxwell'H
manifesto Is of the same tenor , It Is
a specious appeal to credulity and preju
dice , rather than a diguilled declaration
of principles , based on sound reason ,
backed by experience.
"Sliver mining In gambling , " says onu
i > f the otlk'lal campaign documents sent

tee. Having suppressed prlso fighting
mil lottery swindles , we are now iislred
to put a premium iq n nilver gambling

Tlttt
And now conies the World-Hcrah
with another of the many Bryanltt
fakes that have been fabricated to or
der In tile present campaign of forgerj
and Imposture. The latest Is paradei
In double column under n stud-horsi
type heading , "New York's Big Grocer. '
The fake , garnished with the usual sll
vcr sauce , is served tip with the fol
lowing Introduction :
II. K. Thurber of New York , senior part
ner of the firm of II , K. Thurber ft lro ) ,
the largest wholesale grocery house li
America , has for years been ono of th <
chief props ot the republican organlzatloi
In the Empire state. But Mr. Thurber can
not stand Mark Hanna and his syndlcati
uolltlcs and I'.as come out boldly for Dryai
nnd free colnnzo.
There are only a halt do7.cn lies em
bodied In this little paragraph. In the
llrst place there is no sitc.li grocery in
existence as II. 1C. Thurber & Bro. , ami
there has been no such ilrm for ovoi
ten years. The original grocery linn
was 11. 1C. & F. B. Thurber. That linn
was dissolved about ten years ago and
tile business turned over to a Ilrm
know.ii as Thurber , Whyliind & Co. , later
incotporaled Into the Thurber-Whyland
company. Thu Thurber of that ilrm was
Francis B. Thurber and not II. K.
*
Thurber. Three ycarsago the Thnrber-
\vnylaiui company liquidated and neiiuci
of this Thurburs are now engaged in
tlie grocery btislnos.
After chopping out of tlie great Ilrm
back In the 'SO's H. 1C. Thurber became
.a speculator in western railroads anil
sliver mines. Ills railroad venture was
n failure , but his silver Interests are
still intact. In tills respect Tlmrber a
conversion to tlie allver cause
stands on a par with that of
Sir Moreton Frcweii , who is constantly
quoted a disinterested Kngllsh champion
of free silver , when In fact lie ad
mitted personally to the editor of The
Bee two years ago that he owned a
very valuable interest in Montana silver
mines. If Mr. H. 1C. Thurber is for
Bryan it is not because he thinks M ?
election would help tlie grocery busi-
no'hs or the workingman , for whom lie
is shedding crocodile tears , but be
cause ho hopes to enrich himself at
the expense of others by a rise In silver
mining stocks , which he would like to
unload at two prices.
Incidentally It is worth noting that
Francis B. Thurbcr , who was the head
and front of the extinct grocery Ilrm , i *
an enthusiastic supporter of McKinley
and .sound money.
' ' ' .
AA'8 U'OKA'
According to reports from Pennsyl
vania , Senator Tillnian has done good
work there for the republican cause.
Ills revolutionary utterances , particu
larly in tlie mining districts , Intended
to Inllame the workers against thu
employers , did not produce the deslrei
effect Doubtless a few were inlluencct
by Ills incendiary appeals , but it is salt
that the more intelligent were not af
footed and that he Injured rather thai
helped the free silver cause. In somt
of Ills speeches Tillmau declared tha
"the south will not submit much longei
to oppression , " saying further : "I tel
you blood will llo\v and loolc out for it. '
He advised the miners if their bossest
asked them to vote for McKinley to
"tell those bosses to go- ' straight to lie !
and see that they go , too. " All this is
so characteristic of thy South Carolina
senator that there can bo no doubt lie i *
correctly reported.
There is tills difference between Till
nian and oilier advocates of free silver ,
lie is frank , straightforward and out
spoken , while they seek the same result
by Indirection. They employ Insinua
tion and Innuendo by way of inflaming
passion and prejudice , while Tillman's
appeals are plain and direct and not to
lie misunderstood by the least intelli
gent to whom they are addressed. He
is , therefore , reallj' less dangerous than
the lender of his party , who while in
sidiously fostering class hostility and
subtly arraying ono element of the people
ple against another , has not the candor
and courage to bluntly and plainly say
what he means. Tillnian Is for revolu
tion if ills cause fall and he says so.
Some of ills party associates are not
averse to revolution , but are not brave
enough to declare themselves.
AS TO A tUliVKIt TltUST.
Wliile Mr. Bryan Is denouncing trusts
and ( syndicates , It might bo well for him
to glvo some attention to the. charge
that there is a iillver trust or combina
tion which is behind tlie free silver agi
tation. Senator Hill of New York lias
declared that there Is such a combina
tion and that the whole agitation for
free silver Is duo to It. Mr. David A.
Wells , who Is competent authority , lias
specllically asserted In a published let
ter that the movement for free silver
"Is the result of a nwcally conspiracy
of the silver-mining magnates of the
west and certain politicians whose as
pirations are centered in the attainment
of olllce and spoils , " A New York dem
ocratic newspaper lias given what pur
ports to he an exposure of the opera
tions and thu purposes of the ellver trust ,
claiming that with that gigantic wyndl-
4'tito lies tlie chief responsibility for the
free silver agitation , Mr. Bryan says
that the demand for free 'silver is not
made because silver is produce in this
country , but no one will seriously accept
thlH sin lenient In view of other declara
tions which do not lit with It ,
There Is nothing Incredible In the al
legation that a Mllver trust exists , or
what amounts to the same thing , that
there Is a well-dellned' understanding
unong tlio millionaire silver mine own
ers In furtherance of the scheme to
double the value of their product and
heir properties. Nobody will pretend
that Senator Stewart , for Instance , IH

Tin : ATTACK 0V c7/.KH rjlBJV.
A good deal of feeling has bcoi
aroused in church circles In the east bj
the attack which Mr. Bryan made on
clergymen at Wilmington , Del. , and tin
preachers are manifesting a dtaposltloi
to resent what they regard as unwar
ranted and unjustifiable treatment of
them by the popocratic candidate. Tin.
pastor of the Harrison Street Methodist
Kpiscopal church at Wilmington writes
to the Philadelphia Press that lie hoard
Mr. Bryan's speech In the Delaware cltj
and was much aggrieved to hear tin ,
candidate for such a high position de
olaro that "tho ministers of tlio gospel
are not in sympathy with the poor of
their congregations , but heedless of theli
many wants ; that they are leagued will
the monopolists in keeping the poor mat-
down ; that they engendered as much bit
terness and strife among the masses as
have tlie political speakers ; that living
in ease and luxury themselves they an
heedless of the real wants of their fel
low men. " This the Wilmington clergy
man characterized as uncalled for , mi
charitable and malicious , in which judg
ment undoubtedly most fair-minded people
ple will agree.
How fitr.'lf to any extent , ministers ot
the gospijl mliy properly go in discuss
ing politics from the pulpit is a debat
able question' It Is one of those mat
ters whleji a jnluistcr and his congrega
tion miisit determine for themselves. A
considerable number of clergymen liavi
since the opening of the present cam
paign adjlrowd their congregations 01
the currency question and mo far as wi
have observed all 'ofthem have spoken
in the cfhusflgOf honest money. Thej
have doifi } tin'sKfrom the standpoint ol
moralitytfftiiil' " Integrity 3anil not' from
ihivtlsanship. Tlrt > y have dwelt upon tin
commandment , "Thou shalt not steal , '
and simic of them have vigorously con
demned what they believe to be a policy
of repudiation and dishonor. Having
done this they doubtless rendered them-
s.ulves proper objects of- criticism by
those they opposed , but this gave no
warrant for abusing thorn and making
clmrge.s against , them which everybody
knows to bo without jusllllcation. While
not questioning the right of Mr. Bryan
to defend his cause against the assault
of the proacheis , doubtless his best
friends will concede that his manner ol
doing so was not discreet nnd judicious.
He is a churchman himself and should
bo at least respectful to the "cloth. "
There Is likely to be more heard of this
as the campaign progresses.
The smaller coal dealers announce
that they will contest the validity of
tlie ordinance which requires every coal
dealer to pay an annual fee of $10.
They contend that the ordinance was
procured at the holiest of ( lie big dealers
In an effort to freeze out the little ones ,
and upon this alleged showing they pro
pose to go Jnto court. Whoever may
have inspired the ordinance , no ono
doubts Its validity. If it is just it
ought to Klnnd. If It is bad the
shortest route to repeal Is Its rigid en
forcement.

Sterling Eagle : Hon. Charles E. Casey ol
Pawnee county , the candidate for state treas
urer , comes very near to the voters of John
son county , and wo should ECU to It that he
Is given a rousing vote. He Is a very
popular gentleman and In every way quali
fied for this most Important omco.
Nebraska City Press : If there Is ono man
who Is especially qualified to (111 ( the position
of governor of Nebraska that man Is Hon.
J. H. MacColl , the republican nominee.
Both populists and democrats admit that Mr.
MacColl Is thoroughly competent to transact
the duties of the olllce ho aspires to , and
that his record for honesty of purpose is
unimpeachable.
Hebron Republican : That Governor Hoi-
comb may be "a pretty good man" should
cut no figure. That Jack MacColl Is a bet
ter man for the people goes without saying ,
and In the Interest of the best possible state
government It Is to the Interest of the people
ple of Nebraska to have a state officiary that
Is one and united in all matters of public
concern ant policy.
Grand Island Independent : Slnde the nomi
nation of Hon. Charles Casey by the repub
licans as state treasurer , all the populists'
buncombe talk about the proposed exposure
of the state treasury has subsided. There
Is no man whose personal and bushier
career will bear as much Inspection as
Charlie Casey's , and that he will bo elected
goes without saying.

unquestioned Integrity , ho Is worthy of the

always Interested himself In the welfare
and success of the republican party In his
portion of the state.
nioomfleld Monitor : 'By voting for Jack
MacColl for governor of Nebraska this fall
you will veto for n man who has honesty , In
tegrity and ability enough to look after the
affairs of his ofllce In a manner that will
bring order out of chaos In the several state
Institutions which are practically under the
governor'a control. That Governor Holcoml )
has been a failure In the line of making ap
pointments Is conceded by nearly everyone
throughout the state , regardless of politics.
The Norfolk asylum Is an Instance which
Is under the personal observation of nearly
every one In this part of the state. The ap
pointment of MacKay as superintendent was
bad from the start , and never for a moment
was a credit to the state or the governor.
Vote for Jack MacColl , who Is tied to no
one , but can and will use his own judgment
In such cases.

Mexico Corr. tit , Lou la n lobe-Democrat.
Why is it that with unlimited coinage
this country last year minted.only ? 27COO-
000 , when the mines produced G4,200,000
ounces of silver ?
The question has been asked repeatedly ,
It was put to Leamlro Fernandez , tbo di
rector of the Mexican mint. Senor Fernan
dez converses readily In Bnglsh. Ho spent
some time In Washington representing his
country In tbo work of the Intercontinental
Hallway commission. The director did not
reply In words to the question. .Ho smiled ,
lifted his shoulders and made an expressive
gesture , The answer might have been put
In two words "Qulen sabe. "
It la ono of the mysteries of the xllvor
question that Mexico , with her growing
manufactories and commerce , with the long
standing market for her eagle dollars
among the orientals , coined last year only
527,600,000 , when her mines yielded in the
same period enough silver to muko $69-
018,000.
Mexico has four mints , They arc located
BO as to save the shippers of bullion heavy
traugporatlou charges , The northern mines
Df the republic , the central mines , the
southern mines and the Pacific slope mines
lave mints convenient to them , The four
nlnts can coin over $40,000,000 a year. They
lire run at about three-fifths of their ca
pacity. Why Is It ?
"Uecause the producers of the bullion don't
bring us any more , " said Scnor Fernandez.
'What becomes of the rest ? "
'The producers export it In the form of
bullion , "
'Do you coin all that Is brought here ? "
All. "
'Does the silver exported escape any
tax ? "
"No. 'Tlio tax Is the same whether silver
goes out an bullion or conies here In bo
coined There U a. tax of 3 per cent on all
of the silver product of the mines. This in
bo general revenue stamp tax. There U
3 per cent moro called the coinage tax ,
t Is put on the silver that U turned Into
dollars , and also on the bars of bullion
shipped out in that form.
"Then nil of the silver produced pays S
> er cent , whether coined or exported in
mlllou lortu ? "
"Yes. "
There Is the problem. With the minis
wide open , and with silver worth $1.29 an
3Uiico In Mexican dollars , more than half
Dt the product goes out of the country un-
: olucd , to be sold In forelgu countries at
; 0 cents an ounce. \

Oakland Republican : If you want n llv

McCook Tribune : Andrews stock continue
strong. The "Little Parson" is phenomenally
nally popular over the Fifth district an
can road his title clear now to another
term In congress. He can't be beaded off.
Grand Island Independent : The Sixth dls

fitanton Picket : Every report that conic
from the big Sixth district gives a lie ;
Inspiration of confidence to republicans. Hun
A. E. Cady Is a giant on the stump an

palgn. Congressman Halner has the repu
tatlon of being a hard worker down at Wash
InsUon and will receive the support of many
who oppose his political faith on thes
grounds. Saline county gave him uearlj
a thousand plurality two years ago. He
voters should do as well this fall.
Tllden Citizen : Koss L. Hammond's can-
dldary for congressman from this district is
growing In strength and proportions ever }
day. His career as a business man Indicates
that he is full of energy and ambition ; that
ho will use his best endeavors to push to
the front in whatever walk In life ho en
ters ; that ho will bellttlngly represent the
progressive element ot this district in the
halls of congress. Voters are beginning to
realise these facts and do not hesitate to
express their preference for Mr. Hammond
Atkinson Graphic : It should be borne In
mind by the people that the election of A
E. Cady to congress means much to western
Nebraska. The next congress will be
strongly republican , and. in order for this
part of the state to have any Influence she
must have a republican member to look after
her Interests with the majority. The little
handful ot populists who have been In con
gress In years gone by only proved an inJury -
Jury to the welfare of the people who elected
them. Cast your vote for A. E. Cady.
Geneva Signal : Speaking of Speaker need
reminds us of the fact that while In the
east a district will keep a man in congress
year after year If ho proves to have unusual
ability and is faithful to the trust imposed
In him. In the west it too often hap
pens that about the time a congressman
learns his business and has equipped him
self to ( tjjhe work of the house in a crcd-
Itablo manner ho Is retired to private life
for ono cause or another. Congressman
Halncr Is serving his second term In con
gress and when It came time for the repub
licans ot this district to make a nomination
for the next term they did not let petty
ambitions or Jealousies stand In the way era
a recognition and a reward for his success
ful , even brilliant , career In congress for
the last four years.
Broken How Republican : Every day is
clearly demonstrating that the republicans
made no mistake when they nominated A.
E. Cady for congress. He has no personal
record to defend , and ho can glvo his whole
time to a dispassionate discussion of the is
sues in this campaign. Whenever ho makes
a speech he wins new friends and supporters
by his honesty and manifest ability , appealIng -
Ing to the judgment ot the voters Instead
of trying to exnlto their passion and preju
dices. Even 'those politically opposed to
him cannot but admire his manly character
and sincerity of purpose , and the clean cam
paign ho Is making , so free from abuse or
ranting demagogy , it U such men we
need In congress , and the voters of the Sixth
district are realizing that fact pretty gen-
orally.

New York IJccorder : Illsmarck Is said to
have written a letter to Governor Culhersou
of Texas saying that he Is strongly In favor
of International bimetallism. So Is McKin
ley. nut between nryantnctalllsm and hi- . „
metalllsm there Is all the difference between
national folly and International wisdom.
Chicago Ilecord : Prince Bismarck's pro
nouncement as to bimetallism and his
doubts as to whether ho did not. perhaps ,
make n mistake In 187,1 , when Germany
adopted the single gold standard , will bo
variously construed by panics In America.
It may bo remarked , however , that Interest
In an experiment when performed by an
other Is quite different to performing the
experiment oneself.
Now York Times ( dem. ) : Hlsmarck takes
pains to pass no judgment on the effect ot
"Independent action" on the Interests of the
United States. He distinctly reserves Judg
ment , and leaves to "the people of the
United States" to say whether It would
be "compatible with their interests. " Ono
effect It would clearly have would bo to tend
to make the same German gold buy more
wheat than at present. Ho would not object
to that. Meanwhile wo note with pleasure
that our free silver friends are getting over
their nervousness about "foreign dictation , "
and welcome comment from European states
men. If they will make their study broad
enough , they will nnd It enlightening.
Globe-Democrat : The letter of Prince Bla-
marck to Governor Culberson of Texas ,
which the Hryanttes are rolling as a sweet ,
morsel under their tongues , Is really not or
the least advantage to them so far as the
question now before the American people la
concerned. Dlsinarck says ho has always
had a piedllectlon for bimetallism and a
mutual agreement between the principal
commercial nations of the world for Its cs- *
tabllshment. McKinley feels the same yay
upon the subject , and the republican platform -
form contains a declaration of like purport.
But that Is not what the Bryanltes favor.
