erly eniintvied with an Omaha tiermau |
paper extolled \Vllllitm .IcnnhiKs llr.u.n I
as the champion of personal liberty and j
' the Implacable foe of prohibition. Thin j '
i i portion of the Pnvtitwiti speech I * lie- t
| ins reproduced In the tlermaii free tll- ;
| ver organs for ' ' " ' immlfeat purpose of j !
influencing riermnn Americans to mip-1 ' ;
port the candidacy of Bryan. "Amerlkti , " ;
the lending ( Ji-rinnu Catholic paper of' !
th. < w " t published nt St. I.ouls , gives ,
siu-h great prominence to Davidson's
mterane s that we deem < ntr duty to
correct Its bold and unblushing mis-
statements.
At cording to Davidson the republican
legislature of Nebraska enacted a pro
hibition law In ISST which was to be
.submitted two years later to the voters
of the state for their ratlllcallon. The
chances for carrying prohibition were
very promising , and Its supporters con-
lldently looked to winning by a majority
of at least firi.DOn. "In those days. " says
the voracious PavMsmi. "the democracy
of Nebraska was very wak and poor
and counted but tor lit lie In Its politics. "
The situation appeared to lie desperate
for the opponents of prohibition , where
upon he ( Davidson ) was deputed to se
lect a capable man to carry on the cam
paign aglnst prohibition. "It seemed
desperately hopeless for us. " declared
.Mr. Davidson , "hut we did not wish to
throw the gun into the corn , to use a
Herman adage , and my choice was the
billllant young lawyer. William .leu-
nlnsrs liryan. who. without hesitation ,
assumed I ho responsibility to stump ( In
state and stamp out prohibition. He
was tireless In his efforts. He sought ,
as he is now seeking , to meet the enemy
In his own aliTiughoid. and broke down
onn bulwark after another. From that
lime on thu filiation Improved visibly ,
but i.'Vi-n up K ) ( lie very day of election
one of our loading brewers offered to
sell his plant for a mere song , for my
self 1 fell continent that we would beat
tin- enemy by at least : i.mo ! ( votes. To
do this we had 10 turn SS.OOO votes , but
It was done and the credit Is due ex
clusively to William .lenulngs i'.ryan. "
This historic reminiscence must cer
tainly be a revelation to the people of
Nebraska. In ihu Hrst place the re
publican legislature of 1SS7 onaeted no
law relating to prohibition. The legisla
ture 1ss : > did submit two alternative
amendments tn the constitution , one pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
liquor , the other to nutliurlxe the licens
ing of the lliior | tratllc. In the next
place the democratic party was at that
time stronger than It had ever boon In
the history of the state , which Is shown
by the fact that In 1SHO it elected Its
candidate for governor for the Hrst
time.
NolMidy In these parts ever heard of
Mr. Bryan having anything to do with
the campaign against prohibition. Dur
ing tlie struggle in the legislature he
was never known to have uttered one
word In behalf of personal liberty or
against the submission of the proposed
amendment. When the issue was
squarely before the people he not only
did not deliver a single speech against
prohibition , but dodged the issue
throughout his own congressional cau-
vas't. In his own town of Mucoln he
was reputed to lie in sympathy with the
prohibition side , although his party had
in Its platform declared for high license
; fnd against the prohibitory amendment.
The fact that Mr. Ilryau today con-
tldontiy counts upon getting not less
than one-half of the prohibition vote In
Nebraska , as he also expects to do In
Michigan and oilier states , disproves the
fictions of Davir.fcon. Everybody hi Ne
braska knows that the campaign against
prohibition In IS'.IO was conducted by
The llee and its editor In conjunction
with prominent republicans and demo
crats without the aid or consent of Mr.
Bryan. If the editors of Amerka have
any doubts on that score let them direct
an Inquiry to Fred Meta of this city ,
who Is on the Bryan electoral ticket.
The next thing we may expect to hear
will be that some other campaign fabricator
cater \\lll claim for Bryan the support
of Catholics on Hie ground of ids cham
pion . . ) of their cause In the tight
against A. I * . Alsm in tlds city and state
a year ago. On that occasion the World-
Herald , of which Mr. Bryan was re
sponslble editor , championed the A. 1 * .
A. cause and did all it could to elect
the A. I' . A. candidates. Then , as in
( lie prohibition 11'-ht , Mr. Bryan played
hide ami seek and sought to placate hU
democratic anti-A. I' . A. friends by dis
claiming responsibility for the editorial
policy of tlie paper , which at that time
was absolutely under ids control. If
the editors of Amerka have any douhM
on that score , let them direct an inquiry
to Hon. T. ,1. Mahoney of Omaha , late
democratic candidate for supreme judge.
TIMIKX / Bri.votf. .
The. popocratic candidate habitually
cites past great leaders of the demo
cratic 'party in support of his cause ,
doing this with the same reckless dis
regard of truth which ho shows In his
referrnces to the views of republican
leaders , dead and living , .loffcrson and
.lackson , Lincoln , Blaine and Cai'Dcld ,
have thus bi'on shamelessly mlsrepre-
sciitef ' by Mr. Bryan ami it Is to be
expected that he will continue this sort
of thing until the cud of the campaign.
There is one of the democratic leaders
of the past , whose memory Is cherished
by all sincere democrats , whom Mr.
I'ryan has not , so far as we have c b-
siTVi'd , cited to bear testimony to the
democracy of the Chicago platform. This
Is Samuel ,1. Tllden. No one. we ven
ture to think , will question the democ
racy of Mr. Tllden or doubt that he
understood most fully the principles of
democracy. He was a democrat of the
old school , receiving his political train
ing from .lackson , Benton and Van
Bureii. The opinion of such a man cer
tainly ought to have weight with those
who have not utterly abandoned demo
cratic principles and di'ilded to reject
the teachings and precepts of the old
leaders of democracy who gave that
parly character and prestige.
Samuel .1 , Tllden was a pronounced ad
vocate of sound eurruncy. Tlie Haiti *
muru Sun polutu out that lu thu preil-
delillal caiivinst of ISIO ho exhaustively
dlMcuwd the whole question of currency
in Its relation to prices and wages. lie
was pleading , that paper says , especially
In the Interest of the farmers and the
wain * earners whom he grouped together
as "the productive classes , " for a stable
standard < > f values and a currency that
would not rob them of their Just pro-
Ills and earnings by rising In value today -
day and falling tomorrow. Mr. Tllden
declaroiT that "It Is the Interest of the
farmer and every other producer to
have stable and unllitptuatlng prices
for his productions , " and said :
An unstnble currency producing instability
in Imslnc-wi nnd prices. U peculiarly injurious
to the farmer. Neither Ids eihirntloii nor
Ills disposition accustoms him to watch the
bnromctur or the exchange. When ho hn * con
ducted his builnras with prmU'iico and skill ,
with n fanilllnr knowledge and sagacious
estimate of all the circumstances that be
long to it lie ought to bo safe. Ho ought
not to bo aubject to the tremendous aReiiry
of an unseen cause wulch may dUapimlnt
his wlspjt calculations anil overwhelm him
In sudden ruin. He oti lit to be secure In the
tranqulllty of his Orcaldo from thu curse of
an unstable nnd IlnctuatinK currency.
Tho.so words , as tlie Sun says , are a.i
sound now In their economic teaching as
when they were utteied Hfty-slx years
ago , and they are as far apart as the
poles from the doctrine of money Wil
liam Jennings Bryan Is teaching. "Mr.
Bryan believes Unit a tliictnatlng cur
rency , worth perhaps SO cents on the
dollar on Monday , 70 cents by Wednes
day and only W cents by Saturday ,
would be a great boon to the farmer
in marketing Ids crops and ids pro
duce and to. the wage earner In collectIng -
Ing his week's wages. " Samuel J. Tilden
represented to tlie end of his life the
best traditions of democracy , and in
no respect more than in his advocacy
of a sound and stable currency , the
value of which , particularly to the pro
ducer , no one knew imttcr than he. A
statesman of distinguished ability , his
opinion ought not to be without in-
Hueiice among democrats who still
cherish respect for the former great
leaders of their party and have not
been Infatuated and deluded by those
who. In a false livery , arc seeking to
usurp their places.
.ts m councili.\ .
For twenty-live years The Itee has. In
season and out of season , battled for
the right of every American cltlxen to
cast a free and nntrammeled ballot.
During all these years il lias opposed
every attempt on the part of corpora
tions or Individuals lo dictate to their
employes how they should vote and it
has denounced as iinamerican and 1111-
republican the coercion of worklngmeii
either by threats of discharge or black
listing. In contrast with those who now
seek to make political capital for the
cause of Bryan and free silver by crying
coercion. The Hco has always practice
what it preached. Of the hundreds and
hundreds of men who have been em
ployed by The Bee. not one has ever
been molested , discharged or thrcato.nc.il
with discharge on account of bis po
litical views or action. On the con
trary , employes who have boon time and
again actively arrayed against candi
dates supported by The Bee are now
on Its pay roll.
Now. as always. The Bee is most de
cidedly opposed to political coercion In
any shape. It Insists that every wage-
worker who is entitled to the franchise
be left free to cast his ballot In accord
with ills honest convictions. Now , as
always. The Bee deprecates every at
tempt to Influence the votes of laboring
men except by showing1 them their true
interest as citizens and bread-winners. .
In defending the right of the workingman -
man to thu flee exercise of tlie suffrage
The Bee feels In duty bound to warn
them against the blatant demagogues
wlio are raising tlie cry of coercion in
order to arouse th ir resentment and to
blind them to their own interest in the
outcome of the present campaign.
There are times when the interests of
the workingmaii do not coincide with
those of his employer. In such In
stances it is Ids right as well
as his duty to light his own
battle by all legitimate means at Ids
command. But there are also times
when the Interest of the employer Is the
Interest of the wage worker. In such
case it would lie folly for the laboring
man to cut off Ids nose to .spite his face.
Tlds is the present situation. Ilecauso
tlie concerns that represent largo Invest
ments of capital and employ great num
bers of workmen In mills , factories and
commerce regard tlie election of Itryan
as ruinous to their business be
cause it will destroy credits
and unsettle values , Is there any
gooil reason why their employes should
deliberately vote for candidates and poli
cies that would damage their employ
ers and take the broad out of their own
mouths ? How can worklngmeii bolter
their condition by voting to cripple or
actually destroy tlie establlshme.nls
upon which they depeitd for employ
ment ? If the men who have Invested
capital In mills , factories or railroads
are earnestly trying to restore the condi
tions under which the country prospered
four years ago. Is It not rational and to
tlie inlerest of tlie worklngmeii to Join
with them and assure for themselves
and tlie country at large the speedy re
vival of good times and abundant em
ployment at fair wages paid In money
as good as the best In the world ?

A circular Issued by the Department
of Agriculture , giving the amount of Im
ports and exports during the ten years
ending June ! ! 0 , 1W(1 ( , shows that the
Imports for the last fiscal year exceeded
all bun four of the ten years , thus prov
ing the republican contention that tin-
effect of the present tariff was to stimu

the value of Ihe merchandise Imported

It Is true that Importations were cnv-
talled In the former year In antlclpa
tlon of reduced tariff duties , but this
fact does not diminish the signlflcancn
tif the later figures , nor does the further
fact that ( hey were exceeded In tin-
years of our greatest prosperity , 1801
and 181) ) : . ' , when we exported mora of

It will ije Apparent to any man of In
telligence i that the SI'J.l.iHtO.OilO excess
of Imports ID'the ' last list-it 1 year as com
pared with" 1S I deprived American
manufaclmvjis and producers to that ex
tent of i ho11111110 market ami thereby
unfavorably affected labor employed In
the maiuifncturrng Industries. As a
matter of fact the difference between
the two years was considerably greater
than is shown In the above , because
the merchandise lni | ortod In the last
llscal year was at a lower valuation than
two years before , so that the excess
last , year was probably nearer .t- i > t" > , -
OOO.OIX ) . But the smaller llgnres are
qttlto sutlleloiit as evidence of the. bt'iie-
Ills to foreign manufacturers of Ihe pres
ent tariff law. It is well known what
that law did for the woolen and worst"d
manufacturers of England , who In
creased their exports to the Itnltod
Slates more than $ i < MXM ) . < ) Ot ) the year
following the enactment of the law , ex
periencing for that time the greatest
measure of prosperity they hail over
known , imports have been on a re-
duerd scale for some months , owing to
the depressed condition of the market ,
which became overstocked , but foreign
manufacturers are prepared to pour in
more as soon as the situation shall
seem to warrant them In doing so.
They have still with them the favor ex
tended by tlie democratic tariff.
H Is not surprising that Mr. Bryan ,
who Is In p.n "ro3yfflislble for this legis
lation , Insists In Ignoring the tariff as an
Issue in tlds campaign. He knows lie
could Invent i o sophistries to delude the
ptoplo from a clear understanding 01'
what the trade statistics mean. Asser
tions and assumptions could have no
weight against these solid facts , which
plainly and convincingly tell why Amer
ican mills Mini factories are Idle and
hundreds of thousands of American
worklngmeii Tvnil women sire unem
ployed. Yet Mr. Bryan is no less op
posed to protection now than he was
when In congress he pronounced It the
most vicious political principle that had
over eiirsed tills country. Ho showed
this In a speech at Ann Arbor , Mich. ,
in which he said protection should
be described as "spoliation by act
of law" and as the fruitful cause
of many If not most of the evils from
which \s'o su'ffor today. There can be
no doubt as to what popocratie suc
cess would mean regarding Ihe tariff
as well SIM the currency. Free trade , era
a policy.very close to 11 , would accom
pany free silver , thus striking a double
blow at American industries and Amor
lean labor.

of the sturdy pioneers nf Nebrsakn who
by pluck and perseverance lias built him
self up as one of the state's foremost citi
zens. To have such a man for governor
would be nn honor and n credit to the state.
The people of Nebraska are- not going to
make the error they did two years ago
and will elect him.
Grand Iiland Independent : The cam
paign In Nebraska by the republicans has
been one of earnest workers In nn honest
causp. rervonalltlrs of the various caudl-
datrs have not entered Into the campaign ,
and while there Is always more or Kss "sldo
talk. " the great majority of republicans
ronll/e that the country demands n change
from the present conditions and loyalty to
party and party principles should be placed
above Individuality.
Friend Telegraph : The election of the
straight republican ticket lu this Htatc tills
fall means a great deal for the Nebraska
former , the laborer and the general business
of the state. Don't allow the state to drop
Into the hole Into which our sister Kansas
has dropped and from which capital has
been rapidly withdrawn. Iet us say to the
world , Nebraska Is In favor of an honest
dollar nnd ngalnst lint currency and re
pudiation In all Its forms anil that Nebraska
Is a good pHce tn crrrt factories nnd make
all kinds of Investments. This will make
Nebraska boom as she did from ' 80 to ' 02.

Philadelphia IJceord ( dem. ) : "Coin" llnr-
vcy nearly provoked a mob outbreak at Clin
ton. In. , on Tuesday Ir.st by an Indecent per
sonal attack on certain veterans. Harvey
Is a light weight ; and ho may be thankful
be wasn't n punched coin.
Salt Lake Herald ( silver ) : "Coin" Harvey
has inndo a very bad break , If wo may rely
upon the news that comco from Clinton , la.
In a spoeh there he Is said to have ar
raigned Generals Pickles , Howard , Alger and
others , referring to them as "old wrecks of
the rebellion who have lost their honor and
patriotism , and arc tools of political shy-
locks. " It Is said that he came near being
mobbed. Had he been , ho would havu deserved
served no sympathy.
New York Tribune ( rep. ) : H helps his
( Hryan's ) cause to have "foln" Harvey In
sult Generals Pickles , Algor. Howard and
other loyal veterans as "old wrecks of the
rebellion , who have lost nil their honor and
patriotism and are tools of political Shy-
locks. " No wonder the Grand Army men
In his nudlcncp at Clinton. la. , broke up
his meeting and wanted to throw him Into
the ntreet , but the veterans throughout the
west will make a moro effective answer at
the polls.
Philadelphia Press ( rep. ) : The Dryanltes
have no lovt- for war veterans. Ilryan Is
seeking to re-establish the very sain" state's
rights doctrine that went down forever with
the rebel flag at Appomattox. Hu and his
followers are seeking to reduce by one-half
the value of nil pensions now paid tlie
vutorans or their widows and orphans. No
wonder that Harvey Int out In public a little
of the Ir ) > an venom against the veterans.
Hut it is nevertheless a shame that any man
In America should make such an Infamous
assertion about the men who so often for
their country's sake faced rebel bullets.
New York Times ( dem. ) : It seems that
" Coin" Harvey Is still at large and on the
stump. Hut he Is not likely to be at largo
much longer If he lakes occasion tn In.sull
veterans , as ho did on Tuesday at Clin
ton , la. , when he referred to Generals
Slcklps , Howard and Algnr , who are travel
ing In support of o < ind money and the na
tional honor , as "old wrecks who have lost
nil their honor and patriotism and are
tools of political Shylocks. " Ho Just es
caped being converted Into a wreck him
self by Ills Indignant hearers. It would
have been n pity If they had disabled him.
for a brute who talks In this way does
good service to the other side , and "Coin"
ought to be kept talking. If Mr. Ilanna
has to pay his expenses.

Chicago Tribune : The town elections In
Connecticut show that Hryan's visit caused
a great republican gain. If Ilryan can be
induced lo visit every state perhaps It
can bo made umnlmous In November.
Cincinnati Tribune : Florida Joins with
Vermont. Maine and Arkansas lu rolling
up magnificent and phenomenal repub
lican gains. It Is all one way this year.
From whatever state In which the prelim
inary elections are held comes the news
of either tremendously Increased republican
majorities or r. larger republican vote and
greater gains lmn ! ever before.
Philadelphia llecord : There Is a falling
off In the democratic majority in Florida ,
notwithstanding the practical union of
the gold and silver democrats In support
of the sUto ticket. The Indication that
the sound money men In the legislature
will bo able to prevent the re-election of
Senator Cull is the best feature of the
Florida news. Mr. Call Is one of the most
pestiferous advocates of repudiation and he
is now likely to bu served with a dose of
his awn medicine.
Philadelphia Press : At New Haven nnd
elsawhero in Connecticut Hryan enthusiasm
was so great that It took the form of breakIng -
Ing up republican meetings by the use of
stale rggs nnd other Hrynn arguments. The
town elections in Connecticut ahow how ef
fective such "arguments" were. The re
publicans have more complete control of
Iho Btnto than ever before in its history.
And this following the boy orator's tour
nnd the crowds that greeted him ! Evidently
Hryan would have profited had uc rcsi

Frank James , a somewhat famous Mis

The Young Men's Democratic club of Phil

Conservative estimates of the vote of

The Illinois Steul company of Chicago em

The popocratic national committee's plea

Is claimed they have secured the exclusive

When Ilryan was In Hrooklyn ho cx-
prciwed a wish for the presence of Henry

Two young men of Philadelphia have been
paying marked attention tn the same young
ludy. They have decided to let the election
settle matters for them. If the democrat
wins the republican la to stop calling on
the young lady for six months , and vice

Attorney General Stockton of Now Jersey ,

Fremont Tribune : Cotton and wheat ore
steadily going up. while Hryau and free sil
ver constantly decllno.
Kmerson Hntcrprlse : Wheat Is going
up. but silver seems to be going down. if
sliver pulled wheat down , wheat ought to
pull silver up.
Hattlo Creek Hepubllcan : In the past
three weeks silver has gone dov/n about 3
cents an ounce , while the price of wheat
has gone up nearly 15 cents a bushel. Pop-
ocruts continue to tell us that prices of the
two articles rlso and fall simultaneously
but they don't !
Hurchaiil Times : We have been told that
the low price of whct was caused by the
gold standard. Why Is It then that tlie
price of wheat Is now rising ? The same
gold standard that has existed for n long
time still exists with no room for a doubt
that It will continue to exist.
Stanton Picket : Wheat nnd silver do
not necessarily rlso or fall simultaneously ,
Mr. Ilryan to the contrary notwithstanding.
For the past month wheat has been slowly
but steadily raising , and will continue to
raise , because of n genera ! shortage , while
silver has been Just as surely and steadily
falling , and will continue to fall , and foi
the simple reason that the country Is long
on silver.
Wood River Interests : Among the favor
ite arguments put forth by democratic orators
tors In the early part of the campaign was
that the price of wheat and silver went hand
In hand. When silver went up wheat went
up. end when sliver went down so did wheat.
This argument Is knocked Into a cocked hat
by the present condition of "the market. For
some time silver baa been on the decline
while wheat has been steadily going up.
Pierce Call : It was said a month or BO
ago that 5 cents advance In wheat would
mean the defeat of Hryan and the death
of the silver craze. The past three weeks
has shown an advance of twice that amount
and a decllno of a cents per ounce In sltMT.
This smashes the sllverlte's theory thai
there Is a sympathetic bond between whett
nnd silver. Farmers will , without doubt.

offered by the markets.
Nellgh Leader : Within Ihe past month
wheat has advanced In value It cents per
bushel. Increasing tlie total value of the
wheat In the United States several mllllonx

of llnance , nnd one upon which their

silver should show a corresponding In

trary Is true , nnd It has declined. 'Ihe
product of thu bilvcr mines ami Ihe < au
of the modern reformer run on forever
at an Inverse ratio ot 1 to 1C , with little
demand for either. On the contrary , there
Is a failure ot the wheat crop In portions
of India , Husaia and Houmr.nl.i , and the
price consequently goes up. while the de
mand for the two lor tier articles shows a
remarkable decrease- and a dropping mar

When a witness Is placed upon the stand

the populist-democratic candidate for presi
dent docs not always appear In the light
of an unimpeachable wltncta. Speaking at
New London the other day , ho Indulged , an
he has often done , In denunciation of thu
national banking system , cud especially
clmrccd Iho National Ilpnk of Lincoln with
having wrongfd him In his character of a
conlldtng depositor. Mr. Hryan said on thiu
" little about the bankIng
occasion : "I Know a -
Ing business ; I will know moro as soon as
I get my dividend on the amount I bad
deposited In It when the bank failed. " The
falluiu c.f the Lincoln bank \vr.j the direct
sequence , It bus btcn stated without contra
diction. of the IMS ot popular conlldence In
Its stability brought about by the agitation
for free silver , which Mr. Hryan has done
so much to promote und maintain.
Hut that statement , whether It be true or
false , has nothing to do with Mr. Hryun'n
char o that thu bank had wronged him.
This charge has elicited a reply from tin-
ollleora of the Institution. They admit thai
Mr. Hryan was one of Its cu8tunio.ru ; thai
ho was a depositor ; but , they add , at no
time did his dcprslt exceed ? 100. and that
cm the day of the failure there was de
posited to his credit the exuet sum of
$7.'l.03. H consequently appears by thn vol
untary testimony of the oltlcers of the bank
that Mr. Hryan's statement that ho was u
depositor la true , but that Mr. Hrjan'H
transactions with thu Institution did not end
there , and that In giving his evldencu re
garding H before his Now London audience
he did not tell all the truth , which , as one
boundcn not to bear false witness , ho should
have done. 'I hat part of thu truth which
ho forgot or HUpprf.iiad , according to the

Mr. Ilryan asserts In nearly every sjteorh
ho makes that laboring men are not loft
free to net as they plenso In the pivsmt
campaign , hut that those who employ them
are using compulsory means to secure tlnlr
votes for the gold standard , ngalnst th.'ir
wishes nnd their Interests. "Never before
In tlie history of the country. " he exclaims ,
"has Intimidation and terrorism been car
ried to the extent that It Is being carried
In this campaign. " There Is no foundation
for such n charge , as every
woiklngnmn personally knows ; nnd
Mr. llrynn , with his besetting
htililt of self-contradiction , goes on to point
out the Impossibility of a thing of that kind
under existing conditions. "If wo had
fought thla battle fifteen years ago , " bo
sayp , "wo could not Imvo won , but we have
had the Australian ballot since then. and.
thank God , wo can win today under that
system. " Then he asks who brnupht the
Australian ballot to the American people ,
nnd naswcrs that It was nut t'ie ' corpora
tions , the financiers , the syndicates , but the
laboring men nf Ihe country and today that
work of their hands Is "the bulwark reared
for their protection. " Thus It will l-i seen
that out of his own mouth his loose
talk about coercion Is practically reiuted
and condemned.
