Re Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 9, 1898. It Looks as If Bryan Would Be Elected. The Way Shrewd Politicians View the Political Situa- tion—Indications That the People Will Triumph. A glance into the political horoscope, as it stands to-day, reveals the encouraging prospect of the election of William J. Bryan, the people’s candidate and friend, in November next. Although the trusts, monopolies and moneyed syndicates do loud blowing and claim the campaign is virtually over and their candidate a sure winner, facts clearly indicate that they de- sire simply to mislead and produce apathy thereby amongst the followers of Mr. Bryan. ‘ The following estimate is based on in- formation taken more from Republican than Democratic sources : Electors.

We are certain that Bryan will carry mate to err on the side of conservatism. Republican hoasting is. Even according to the above conservative table, it is seen that McKinley would need 107 votes from the doubtful column, while Bryan would need only 18. To make the election of McKinley a cer- tainty he would have to- carry the follow- ing States : Maine........., Rhode Island Connecticut k | Can he carry all these States? The loss | | of any of them would result in his defeat. | The sixteen States above represented cover less than one-seventh of the area of the United States, but the moneyed interests are mainly located in them. The eastern up the cash to purchase the western, mid- dle or central States. Whether Hanna can purchase Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, remains vet to be seen. In a fair and open battle the chances all seem to favor the election of Bryan and the defeat of the syndicates. The elections prior to the presidential election in the Eastern and Southern States have little or no bearing on the general re- sult in November. Whilst the Eastern States will be largely Republican, by rea- son of their close connection with the moneyed interests, the Southern States will be equally as certain to be largely Democratic by reason of their agricultural interests. The united Western and South- ern States are in the lead, and the Central States must decide the battle. Finance in the Sunday-School. | The Sunday school needed money and Mr. Smart, the superintendent, had a new way of getting it, says London Tid-Bits. He proposed giving each boy half a crown. At the end of a month the princi- pal, together with what it earned, was to be returned to him. The scheme was good but it didn’t work quite as Mr. Smart had anticipated. The fourth Sunday found the superin- tendent ready to audit the profits and loss accounts, and he commenced with John- nie’s ‘class. ’ ‘‘How have you done, Johnnie ?”’ ‘My half-crown has earned another one,’’ said Johnnie, with the air of one having an option on a halo. ‘Good !”’ said the superintendent. ‘‘Not only is Johnnie a good boy in helping the school, but he shows business talent. Doubling one’s money in a single month requires no common ability. Who can tell but what we may have another budding Croesus among us ? Johnnie you have done well. And now, Thomas how much has your half-crown earned ?”’ ‘‘Lost it,’ said Thomas. ‘What not only failed to win anything, but actually lost I’ said Mr. Smart. ‘‘How was that !”’ : ‘I tossed with Johnnie,”” was the reply, ‘and heewon.” Mamma Did Badly. A lady was singing last week at a char- ity concert and the audience insisted -on hearing her song a second time. Her daughter, a little child, was present, and on being asked afterward how her mother had sung, replied : “Very badly ; for they made her do it all over again.” First boy.—What makes you wear that great" Hat collar, Tommy?

Free Coinage of Silver and the Restoration of the Money of the Constitution. SOME SOLID FACTS FOR THE WORKINGMEN. To the Members of Organized Labor and all other Producers and Toilers Through- out the United States: In view of the general distress now prevailing throughout our country, which has -existed for so many years and which will continue until remedial legislation is en- acted—and all this occurring, too, at a time when our granaries are full to repletion, and when, in the natural order of things, our ‘producers and toilers should be en- joying to the full the fruits of their hard and conscientious labor—it seems to us that the time has come for united action on the part of those who create the wealth of the country. The respective demands and platforms of principles of our several organizations set forth our opinions as to the causes that have brought about this condition of things. Inasmuch as the leading representatives and friends of all our organiza- tions have placed one of the causes of the tribulations of our beloved republic to the departure of our government from the wise bimetallic financial policy of Wash- ington, Jefferson and Hamilton, and the substitution therefor of the present mono- metallic policy recommended by European money owners and advocated by their American allies, we, the undersigned officers of industrial, agricultural and com- mercial organizations, have thought it best, at this particular time, to submit for your careful consideration a synopsis of the legislation respecting the precious metals enacted in this country since the foundation of this government, that you may judge for yourselves as to what portion of such legislation was enacted in the interest of the producing and what in the interest of the non-producing classes, and as to whether or not the shrewd manipulators of our finances foresaw that the result of their work would be to largely help in the subjugation of the people. Whatever the object, certain it is that before the demonetization of silver and the enactment of other financial legislation which our” organizations condemn, 3,500 bushels of wheat, or 35,000 pounds of cotton, was the annual pay for our congress- men and senators, while to-day 10,000 bushels of wheat, or 100,000 pounds of cot- ton, barely suffice. Before demonetization, 35,000 bushels of wheat, or 350,000 pounds of cotton, per year, would have paid the salary of the president; to-day he receives the equivalent of 100,000 bushels of wheat, or 1,000,000 pounds of cotton. And in like proportion it is with all other fixed salaries and incomes. Was such legislation just? Was it honest? Does it not necessarily follow that the demoralization of the food-producing sections of the country, through failure to procure reasonable prices for their products, causes the manufacturing sections to accumulate excessive stocks, and that, in consequence of a poor market, hundreds of thousands of operatives are thrown out of employment, thus robbing them of the power, even at the low prices, to purchase the necessaries of life. Again, is it not obvions to every one that the striking down of one-half the world’s volume of money makes the remaining half a comparatively easy matter for capitalists to control and manipulate, and that toilers, to obtain money for the pur- chase of their food supplies, are placed entirely at the mercy of the foreign and American money sharks, who, by contracting the currency, can force a panic or famine in money at their supreme will ? Would they be guilty of such a crime? We only say in reply, look at our pres- ent helpless condition. Does it not seem to you, in the light of the facts here given, that, where in the midst of plenty there is widespread suffering and unhap- piness, there is considerable meat in the refrain from Wall street: ‘‘ Dig on, ye toilers, dig; the legislative button that we press will do the rest I’? - The first coinage law enacted under the constitution, as recommended by Hamil- ton, concurred in by Jefferson and approved by Washington, provided for the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, the silver dollar containing 371} grains of pure metal. In 1837 the mint laws were revised, and the standard for both gold and ‘silver was made nine-tenths fine; that is, nine-tenths pure metal and one part alloy, the number of pure silver grains to the dollar remaining unaltered, viz: 371} grains. This law established our present ratio of 16 to 1. In August, 1865, the public debt, which grew out of the war, reached its highest point, the debt, less cash in the treasury, being $2,756,431,000. The debt was not payable in gold. No bonds or other government obligations were ever made spe- cifically payable in gold. The interest on the bonds was made payable in coin, the greater portion of the principal of the original bonds in lawful money, and the re- funding bonds in coin—not gold coin, but coin of either gold or silver. In 1869 the principal of the bonded debt was also made payable in coin. In 1870 the standard of coin was by the refunding act nominated in the bond; that is to say, all the obligations of the United States were then declared payable in either gold or silver, of the present ratio, at the option, not of the bondholders, but of the people of the United States. All the acts passed since the close of the civil war, it will be observed, were in the interest of the bondholders, and against that of the producers and toilers. But it remained for the year 1873 to witness the crowning blow of all. In that year, an innocent-appearing bill, entitled ‘‘An Act Revising the Laws Relative to the Mint, Assay Officers and Coinage of the United States,”” was successfully pass- ed through congress. The bill purposely omitted, from the list of the coins to be minted, the silver dollar. By that clandestine act, of which the people and the people’s representatives were ignorant, and by the subsequent act of 1874, adopting the revised statutes, silver was demonetized, and the world’s volume of ultimate redemption money was reduced from about seven billions to three and one-half billions. In 1878, after the discovery of the crime of 1873, congress passed what is known as the ‘‘ Bland Bill.” This bill was vetoed by President Hayes (John Sherman be- ing secretary of the treasury), and congress passed the bill over the veto. The act of 1878 added to our volume of money over 370,000,000 standard silver dollars. In 1890, what is known as the ‘‘ Sherman Act ’’ was passed as a substitute for the ‘‘Bland Act” of 1878. This law further increased our volume of money over $150,000,000. : : Under the Bland and Sherman laws over $500,000,000, or about $9 per capita, were added to our volume of money. As all reflecting men ate agreed that the present distress is due to a scarcity of money, we must leave it to the imagination as to what would now be our condition if the gold standard men had had their way, and our present insufficient volume of money were half a billion dollars less. The Sherman bill was adding over fifty millions a year to the money of the coun- try when in 1893 its repeal was imperiously demanded by European financiers, through their American allies; and, although the people’s representatives made one of the grandest efforts ever witnessed in bebalf of the producers and toilers of our country, yet the power of the financial institutions of Europe was so great that our people were compelled to submit to temporary defeat. Now, the question is: What do the tens of millions of victims in this country, to the diabolical gold standard policy of Lombard and Wall streets, propose doing about it? Submit to subjugation, or demand in no uncertain tones the immediate restoration of silver as standard money? No! they will no longer submit to such injustice! And therefore we earnestly recommend the adoption of the following resolution: : ¢ We demand of the present congress the immediate return to the?fmoney of the constitution as established by our fathers, by restoring the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1, the coins of both metals to be equally fall legal tender for all debts, public and private, as before the fraudulent demonetization of silver in 1873. ¢ We also condemn the increase of the national debt in time of peace, and the use of interest-bearing bonds at any time.” Signed: J.

Therefore, the people have a right to know what it was that changed his views, if they have un- dergone a change since 1890. ° He was a strong and consistent advocate of silver for many years, says himself that he voted twice in Congress for silver bills, and it is known that he was a warm advo- cate of the white metal down to the very day almost when he was nominated: What so suddenly changed his views that he can now consistently endorse the gold standard ? Major McKinley himself vouch- safes no reply to this question. Did the trusts, the millionaires and the Wall street brokers force him to change his views ? Did Mark Hanna, who once saved McKinley from financial ruin and is now managing his canvass, prevail upon him to change his views ? The people want to know about this before they’ vote for the Republican candidate. In the absence of any explana- tion the people will have a confirmation of the oft-repeated charge that if McKinley is elected to the Presidency he will be as put- ty in the hands of money syndicates and trusts who are backing his canvass and li-! quidating the bills therefore.—Doylestown Democrat. : For Your PRroTECcTION. — Catarrh ‘‘cures’’ in liquid form to be taken inter- nally, usually contain Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injurious if too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not a blood disease, caused by cold and damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages. Cold in the head, if repeatedly neglected, results in catarrh.
