"Look at all the people that flock
see Bryan whenever he appears?
to
No
candidate has been
so popular since
Abraham Lincoln."
"Huh! Do you suppose that all
the
people who reach for Bryan's hand are
Bilverites? You might as well say that
everybody who goes out to Burlington
Beach to see a balloon go up is an aero
naut." "I tell you it does not make any dif
ference if the newspapers are against
him, the people are for him."
"My friend' and a man never says
"my friend' when he feels friendly
"newspapers ara as directly dependent
upon the people as a butcher shop is up
its customers. The editorials and the
jokes are the beef the people want or
they would not be printed. It is con
ceded that something like 161 demo
cratic newspapers, from all parts of the
union, from the Empire state out to the
wilds of Arizona, have bolted the demo
cratic ticket on July 10th last, or within
twelve hours of the nomination being
tendered to William Jennings Bryan.
Thus, five weeks have elapsed, and not
one of the 'Hoppers' has turned. What
is the deduction? These newspapers
represent many millions of readers.
The editorial department is necessarily
dependent upon the business depart
ment, which is directly in touch with
the subscribers. Journalism is, after
all, a business, and the managers will
not court martyrdom. If the course that
they have adopted and since pursued
did not meet with tho approval and
favor of their subscribers and readers,
the fact would have been shown by a
dwindling circulation and a market!
falling off in the advertising columns.
That this has not taken place must be
accepted as prima facie evidence that
those that have espoused the cause or
Bound money have the backing of their
constituents and their readers generally.
The silverites, in making their idle
boasts, should take the foregoing and
absolute facts into consideration. They
tell a tale that the opinions of a few
men, or. for that matter, of thousands
of shcuters, cannot gainsay.
In no country in the world have the
working classes more in their favor
than they have in America. Think one
moment and count the consequences
that would result from the defeat of the
gold standard. At a very fair, albeit
not exaggerated estimate, we owe some
thing like $4,000,000,000 in Europe.
Mark you. this has been for money lent,
either directly or indirectly through the
purchase of goods or through the bal
ance of trade, and if we were to go on a
silver basis, instead of paying back
$4,000,000,000 gold, or selling our secur
ities, or giving to Europe our cereals,
our cotton, or the results of our manu.
facturers, we should, because or the
contraction of credits, have to return
nearly $9,000,000,000 in silver. With
our crops, which promise the largest
prospective harvests of com ever raised,
a yield of upward of 2,000,000,000 bush
els, and cotton, on an average crop, sell
ing at gratifying prices, we should,
nevertheless, be unable to liquidate the
claims that are against us. It is only a
generation or so ago tnat a Ssoutn Amer-
ican republic repudiated its obligations,
or in other words, passed from a gold to
a silver basis. What was the outcome?
Panics in the civilized world. It was a
panic caused by the loss of confidence
that shook the business centres of the
world to their very foundation; but bit
ter as was the experience of twenty
vears back, it would be as nothing com
pared with what would be seen if worse
. , , ,i :i u
should come to worso and s.lver be
hailed king here.
"If we have free silver all the
i5i5S?iJ2S5iKS?535K
nations of the earth will send
their silver bullion to America to
receive gold for it. In such a case we
should have silver to burn and no gold
at all. Emmens, the chemist in New
York city, who made Emmensite, says
that he and his assistants have made
three-fourths of an ounce of gold out of
one ouuce of silver, and that the chemi
cal process was a very cheap one, tho
cost beiug for energy rather than for
chemicals. He and Ave assistants made
the gold, each one working on the silver
at different stages, so that no one man
knows the whol process. The sold
thus produced stands all the laboratory
tests for gold, and, except that it has
not been dug out of the earth, it is
gold. If this be so, then instead of 1G
to 1 it will be 5 to 1. Silver can come
nearer to gold by eleven places."
"O where are you from, and wheredid
you get bo much information? Emmens
may be an eminent chemist, but his
statements sound like the crazy prom
ises of an alchemist. In short, he is a
fool and you are another for quoting
him."
This was on the American Exchange
bank corner in the morning. The de
bators on this particular corner always
get redheaded before the subject is ex
hausted. The Capital National bank corner has
been given over to fakiis in the after
noon. A man stood there the early part
of the week selling a grease extractor.
He held up a vest covered with grease
spots, and selecting a hopeless one, ap
plied his sponge to it, dried it. and held
it up to an unbelieving audience as
fresh ana clean as when it came from
the slop shop. "If you buy a bottle of
my preparation your suit will look neat
sixteen times as long as your neigh
bors." But he does not sell anything.
Capital is painfully timid on that corner.
But Bonn ell's corner is for free silver.
Slosson's Harley's, Richards and the
other corners are occasionally ard belig
gerently free silver. Bonnell's corner
never changes its politics. Tho farmers
have made that corner their own. Free
dom of speech is allowed on the four
corners of Eleventh and O, but Tenth
and O is the people's, and a cold buc
must sing low or keep still altogether in
mat locality.
A colored man in one of these experi
ence meetings, last week, said "Mo'bul
lion has been shipped into the United
States of A-may-i-ca enduin'dish yer
agitation on de silver question than in
ye-ahs befoh." And no one contradicted
him.
