Says he
Don't want
Prosperity.
Bryan should establish a rigid cen
sorship over his thinks, or there will be
trouble before November.
It is not believed that Mr. Bryan's
new farm is not being as thoroughly
worked as it is photographed.
It is hoped that the Boxers are not
a3 deeply interested in the election as
the insurgents in the Philippines.
Doubtless Chairman Jones will look
upon his predictions as the paramount
feature ol the Democratic campaign.
At the next fusion in Nebraska the
Democrats will doubtless be called up
on to apologize for presuming to exist.
There are sixty different tribes in the
Philippines and the anti-expansionists
demand that they be turned over to
Aguinaldo.
Foreign .shipping representatives in
the United States, and their principals
abroad, are elated at the anti-shipping
bill in the Democratic National plat
form.
As free silver has made Bryan a rich
man, he can't for the life of him see
why it should not make the other fel
low rich.
Tho Republican Administration goes
to the country upon its accomplish
ments. Incidentally, it will be mater
ially strengthened at the ballot box by
mistakes of the Democracy.
112 "T"
Had the Democrats forgotton to
place the 16 to 1 plank in their platform,
they would have been in much better
condition to carry on an aggressive
campaign.
If the Democrats elect their candi
date for President, and elect a Demo
cratic Congress, this fall, they feel sure
there will be nothing done to disturb
foreign shipping in its present enjoy
ment of 93 per cent of our foreign car- \
rying.
Every live years a billion of dollars ;
goes out of the United States to pay !
foreigh ships for doing our foreign car
rying. That may continue indefinitely
if the Democrats succeed at the next i
election. It will be stopped imme- |
diately if the Republicans win.
The Hon. E. Ellery Anderson, the |
leading representative of the former !
Southern men who make New York
their home and represent the large in- i
terests of the South, has declared his i
opposition to the Kansas City ticket, j
He declares the Democratic party had j
far better suffer defeat than assume the j
responsibility for a Bryan administra- |
tien.
i t j
The Democratic Memphis Commer
cial-Appeal admits that Mr. Bryan
means 16 to 1, and has no patience j
with those Democrats who are trying i
to ignore the issue and take up the cry |
of ''imperialism." The Commercial-
Appeal is not over enthusiastic for the
Kansas City ticket, but it prefers to be
honest with its readers, no matter how ;
distasteful the task may be.
The Bradford Star looks upon
the congressional contest from the
1 following point of view: ' Hon. J.
i C. Sibley hurned the bridges behind
I hini on his way from the Free
Silver Democracy to Honest Money
Republicanism. He will always
cast his vote in Congress for sound
i money, regardless of who may be
; elected president. After all it is
Congress that is the mainspring of
| national policy "and legislation,
| while the chief executive acts more
like the pendulum, deriving its
j power to act from the mainspring
of the clock of State. To half do
I anything always spoils doing it
j right. To vote for sound money
in the national ticket and for a
Democrat or fusionist for Congress
| would be a fatal political pardo.x.''
The "full Dinner l'ail'' is an ar
gument for the farmer as well as for
the city laborer. Who supplies
what is putin the pail? The
| farmer. If the city laborer lias his
wages cut in two by free silver, and
is j nit out of a job by the closing of
; the mills, the farmer suffers equally;
for the farmer may give away, but
he cannot sell, the products of his
I farm which the city laborer cannot
j afford to buy. It is because of the
! • 'full dinner pail'' that the farmer
| is getting so much better prices for
| what he sells than he could get be
fore the election of McKinley. It
is because of the "full dinner pail"
that he has paid off his mortgages,
and become a lender of money
where he used to be a borrower.
The Republican party is the
party of Loncoln and Grant, whose
S work in their respective spheres
! saved republicanism not alone in
I America, but for all the world.
! The Rebellion was the crusicaltest
' of the ability of a self-governing
; nation to stand the strain of inter-
I necine strife. The cost of saving
j the Union was fearful. The land
I was liillocked with graves, the blood
| of heroes fattened a hundred battle
j fields, the nation was exhausted.
| but the flag was not furled, and not
j a single star was lost from its azure
field* The result, however, was
j worth all it cost.
it was a struggle for integrity of
| empire, and yet it was a struggle
1 against imperialism. The triumph
ol'-the North made thrones across
I the sea. rock on their old i'ounda
| tions, and some, indeed, have fal
| len, while those which still remain
have only been able to endure by
I granting a larger measure of self
j government to their subjects.
i Manhood has become a royal thing
due to the efforts of the Republican
party to dignify and verify the sov
ereignty of manhood. Power has
drifted down to the masses, who
became conscious of their power
through the work of such men as
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison
and McKinley, who in camp, in
battle and in councils of the nation
have made our country the envy of
the world. The policy of the Re
j publican party has gone on in ad
vance of the flag, carrying some of
the blessings of liberty to peoples
and countries who have never seen
the banner of glory and freedom.
To charge imperialism to the party
which was conceived by freemen,
was rocked by liberty and grew to
vigorous manhood on the strong
meat of personal sovereignty, is to
distort history, deny the truth and
b -tray liie fact that the opponents
of the party think a falsehood is
better than the truth for campaign
purposes.

i Franklin Evening News.
SIBLEY'S COURSE AN HONEST ONE
Facts are flic best argument up
i 011 any question, and they are
especially abundant, valuable and
1 convincing in the present political
campaign. In ISSHi the country
j had just passed through four years
j of 'f lie greatest financial disturbance
| and industrial depression the pres
ent generation has ever experienced.
Crash after crash had occurred in
| the financial and commercial world
1 until every business man and in
j stitution had lost confidence in
j every other man and institution.
lif not in themselves. All were ob
! jects of distrust and suspician,
| which were liable at any time to
j assume tangible form and result in
! disaster. The banking institutions
j of our town, which are all ordi
{ narily known to lie as absolutely
j sound and reliable as any in the
j State, were 110 exceptions, and
! more than once during that period
| some of them narrowly escaped be
| iug subjected to a run that might
| have resulted disasterously, while
j all were compelled to call in and
curtail their loans as a means of
safety. For a considerable period
they practically ceased to do busi
ness.
All over this broad land were
j silent factories, smokeless furnaces,
motionless machinery and idle
workmen. What had been the
greatest centres of industrial activ
ity were the worst sufferers during
! that period, as they were thus
1 transformed into the greatest cen
tres of enforced idleness. Scenes
were there enacted that had never
been seen before—stalwart men
begging, not for alms, but for a
chance to work, even for a pittance,
that they might keep their families
from starving; children actually
crying for bread who had never
known want before; organized
charity feeding countless thousands
w ho had never thought to be forced
I to eat aught they had not honestly
I earned. There were no strikes.
! No, every man who had work was
I only too glad to hold onto it at
! whatever wages his employer felt
I able to give. Rich and poor sui
i l'cred alike. There was certainly
no discrimination to complain of.
; Idle factories make no returns; idle
j capital bears 110 interest; profitless
j investments pay no dividends.
The supposedly rich were often in
I as great straits as the confessedly
I poor.
The very government itself was
as great it sufferer as any. if not the
primary cause of it all, and for the
first time in a generation was com
pelled to make a forced loan in
time of peace to meet its legitimate
expenses; and to negotiate that loan,
even at a high rate of interest, was
forced to pay many millions of dol
lars as a premium to the syndicate
who handled it. That syndicate,
the sheriffs throughout the land,
and then the President of the Tint
ed States, were almost the only
ones who emerged from that period
in better financial condition than
j they entered it.
Then arose that self-constituted
Apostle, who held up the "Cross of
Gold'' as the soul and only cause
of all the trouble and proclaimed j
the doctrine of "1(5 to 1" as the
sovereign and only remedy. And
over and across, up and down this '
broad land, he and his followers j
preached this doctrine night ,-in<l '
day with a tireless ze;il and an ac
tive energy wort by of any cause,
and among them was our own.l. C.
Sibley. That, the}' believed what
they proclaimed ( here was no doubt. |
That they were firmly convinced of j
the truth of their assertions 110 man I
need deny. But that tliey were j
mistaken lias been abundantly 1
proven. For at the same time there 1
came another apostle who preached j
the doctrine of running this gov- j
eminent on business principles that :
whenever tried had not been found
wanting. And he and his follow- I
ers gained the ears, and voice, and |
votes of the people, and the reins j
of government were entrusted to ;
his hands.
The world breathed easier, and
business men of the country smiled !
and grasped each other confidently
by the hand. And even the great
Apostle of "1(1 to 1," in a moment !
of frankness and candor, declared I
"if good times should come under !
President McKinley's administra
tion, the Republican party would
be entitled to the credit for it.''
Have they come? Let every man
answer for himself and a shout of
assent would arise that would echo '
around the world.
They have come in so marked a
degree as to establish a new prece
dent in all the commercial and in- j
dustrial progress of the world.
Never at any time, in any country, !
have any people been so uniformly ,
and universally prosperous as have !
the people of this country under
the administration of President !
McKinley. Statistics to prove it
are too numerous to quote, even a
few, and we have no space for any
at this time. The proof is within
tlie knowledge of every man who
| has eyes and ears, and does not
wilfully close them. This the Hon.
W. .J. Bryan lias done, but the
Hon. .Jos. Sibley lias not. 11<
lias kept his eyes and ears open and
has witnessed the wonderful trans
formation, doubtless with surprise,
but not with regret. The prosper
ity of the people was his soul and
only aim, and when it came lie
welcomed it just as cordially, and
rejoiced in it just as sincerely as
though it had come through tin
channels advocated by him. Aye,
and when it made its appearance
he put his force behind it, and 1
helped it along just as cheerfully!
as though it had all been planned
and organized by him, and did not
stand, and scoff, and jeer, and try
to impede its progress, as so many
of bis former colleagues have done. J
He has simply rendered to the Re
publican party the credit which Mr.
Bryan, himself, declared would be
its due under these conditions, and j
has done it so thoroughly as to op- j
enly ally himself with that party as j
the one best calculated to promote
that "prosperity for all the people" I
which he has always advocated, j
And for this be is denounced as a |
"Hopper," "a traitor," "a desert-|
er" and the Lord only knows what !
other epithets are held in reserve
by those who refuse to follow bis j
lead, and openly proclaim their se- J
cret convictions as he has done.
Put the strangest sight of all is
to see men who claim to love the
party, and believe in the principles
that he has espoused, entering into
an alliance with the avowed oppon
ents of that party and those prin- j
ciples, for the purpose of "down
ing" him to whom they should
rather extend the right hand of
fellowship, and welcome rather
than repel.
What are their motives? Are
they honest and sincere, or are they
prompted by jealousy and selfish
ness? Are they working for the
interests of the party and people, j
or are they working for their own j
interests only? These are (pies- !
tions ihe people are asking, and 1
which the people will answer in an '
unmistakable manner. Joseph C. i
Sibley is the only candidate for
Congress in this district who will j
give unqualified support to Presi- !
dent McKinley. who stands as the j
tireless and practical exponent of
the doctrine ol' "Prosperity for all 1
! the People."—Evening News.
The Baltimore Sun, a very able
independent Democratic paper j
hopes that the present campaign
will be free from vituperation, as it
says the "issue," to l>e decided by
the suffrages of 1 .">,000,000 of free
men requires to be treated with all
the gravity and seriousness its im
portance demands. Itis an appeal
to human reason and to the con
science of man, not to human pas
sions, whether of parties or of
classes." The Sun takes no stock
in Bryan or the Socialistic-Popo
cratie elements that gentleman
represents.
A Rank Record.
Did you ever think that the
Democrats have only elected one
Governor of Illinois and one Presi
| dent of the Tinted States in forty J
years, and that the State Treasury j
was left several millions of dollars |
worse, than empty and that the i
national administration had to is- |
sue interest bearing bonds for £2(>2,-
000.000 in time of peace to pay the j
:ctu,;l running expenses of the j
Government? This is the record
the party goes to the voters with.
