Base ball like that at Athletic park
yesterday ought to attract paytns;
audiences. It Is discouraging; to see so
many empty seats). We doubt if a
better game than that was ever played
on any diamond; and yet only a corpor
al's guard saw It.
The Enemy's Strength.
We dissent from those who hold that
Bryan's speech of acceptance is to be
despised. We concur In the opinion of
the Cleveland World, Major McKlnley's
closest supporter, that "It will require
the united efforts of all good cltlsens to
counteract Mp plausible assertions."
His speech is full of sophistry which ra
tional analysis will in due time riddle;
but it is specious, high-sounding and
resonant with the note of sympathy for
the poor which readily captivates men
who do not go below the surface of
things,
. Republicans will be foolish if they
shall permit the airy chatter of the
eastern press in its simulated derision
of Bryan to deceive them Into the no
tion that the battle for sound money
Will require no special earnestness and
will bs won for the right side through
the enemy's lack of strength. We are
not discouraged nor alarmed; on the
contrary, we have an abiding faith in
the ultimate supremacy of common
sense and common honesty. But at the
same time we recall how a line of
sophistry similar to that now employed
by Bryan swept the discontented ele
ments away from the Republican party
In the congressional elections of 1890 and
In the presidential campaign of 1892,
both times by large majorities; and we
consider that In the eloquent young
westerner who heeds the present upris
ing the enemy have a more plausible,
'more attractive, and ten-fold more dan
Serous standard-bearer than they had
then. He, too, looks a man of destiny,
and is fortunate, moreover, In having
no particular record to rise up as a
source of embarrassment. It Is not
timidity, it Is simple prudence to look
at the facts as they exist and order the
campaign accordingly.
Belittling an antagonist never yet
won a fight, and this, unless present
signs fall, is going to be a fight of no
mean proportions. Any one who will
add together the Democratic and Popu
list vote of 1892 and 1894, and make a
conservative discount for 'the vote
which Bryan will probably lose from
this total, can readily perceive that the
elements of danger in the free silver
movement are neither few nor trifling.
Three or four times since the St. Louis
convention this movement has visibly
fluctuated. Three or four times It has
looked as If It were on the ebb. In each
case the reaction has not continued,
and the ground lost has to all appear
ances been recovered. The adroit and
pecious argument of Bryan, as It
reaches the eyes of the great western
army of the dissatisfied, will not tend
to check the growth of the free silver
fallacy. It will have to be fought back;
fought with earnestness, fought with
decision. i
Portunataly (or the eotnmoa welfare.
the Republican order to Are is being
withheld until the sentimental surge of
Bryanlsm spends its excess of fervor.
This It Is bound to do soon. But while
we await the moment of supreme bat'
tie, let no Republican delude himself
with the idea that he can safely shirk
his full part of the fighting. It were
far better to overestimate the serious
ness of the task before us than to fall
a victim to overconfldence.
Now if it was only Mrs. Bryan who
was running for president, the free
sliver nominee might be said to stand
some show.
"I do not know what yon think
about it, bnt I believe that it Is a
good deal better fo open thg
mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open np
the mints of the United States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Speaking of Garman for state chair
man, how will the Lenahans like It?
More Power for Mayors.
The favor shown by the recent con
vention of city solicitors to propositions
looking to a material Increase In the
power and responsibilities of the
mayoralty Is Indicative of a wholesome
trend in intelligent public opinion. The
sentiment among the solicitors who
have been deliberating here this week
was practically unanimous in favor of
following up the proposed civil service
act with legislation giving to mayors of
our third-class cities absolute power of
appointment and dismissal, within, of
course, the restrictions of the civil ser
vice system.
It was argued with unanswerable
force that under present conditions the
mayor of a city Is able to exercise po
tential influence In directing the city's
executive affairs only so long as he Is
enabled by the pulling of political or
other wires to keep a whip hand over
councils. This degrades what should
be essentially a business office to a place
of political bartering and dickering,
and puts around the neok of its occu
pant a yoke which effectually prevents
htm from placing public considerations
always first.
A good comparison may be made by
saying that the mayor of Bcranton
ought to occupy practically the same
relation toward the direction of the
executive business of the municipality
thait the general manager of the Lacka
wanna Iron and Steel company or the
general manager of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railway
company occupies toward the business
affairs of his corporation. Neither Mr.
Wehrum nor Mr. Hallstead could pro
duce the best resuVts if he had to sub
mit to a large and unevenly constitut
ed board of directors every question of
employing or dismissing a subordinate.
The rule in private business is to give
power along with responsibility and
hold the wlelder of It accountable for
its use. Why should not this rule like
wise obtain In the transaction of the
business affairs of a co-operative' cor
poration such as the city of Soranton?
The one argument against centralis
ing power in this manner Is that it
would make a bad situation worse in
the event of the election of an Incompe
tent mayor. That, however. Is a risk
which the electorate in a government
such as ours cannot reasonably hope to
escape. It is, we think, a safe asser
tion that the average character of the
mayors of our American cities is super
ior to the ' average character of our
councils. Hence the transfer of au
thority from the tatter to the former
would not Involve an average lowering
of the character of municipal govern
ment In special cases, where voters
deliberately elect unfit mayors, there
Is always the recourse of impeachment,
just as there is also the consolation of
knowing exactly where to place the
blame.
President Andrews, of Brown univer
sity, now asserts that this nation could
adapt free coinage without sending
gold to a premium. One year ago he
said precisely the reverse, and condi
tions in the meantime have under
gone no change. Evidently his opinion
has been modified by politics rather
than by careful thought. He is, how
ever, the only noted university educa
tor who holds to such a theory, and
possibly he enjoys being a conspicuous
exception.
We trust that every subscriber of this
paper read carefully the text of the
speech by Hon. dalusha A. Grow, which
was printed in yesterday's issue. Mr.
Grow surrounded the sllverltes and
took them captive in as neat and con
cise a manner as has ever been exhib
ited. He spoke, too, as one having au
thority. The author of the homestead
law cannot be accused of being an en
emy of the poor.
One reason why few railroad men
Will vote for Bryan may be found in
the fact that acoordlng to the reports
of the Interstate commerce commislson
the Wilson bill panic, which Bryan
helped to bring on, has thrown nearly
100,000 railway employes out of work,
and cut the earnings of most of the
remainder of them. It Isn't human na
ture to yearn for another dose of that
style of medicine.
The shrewdest move In the Demo
cratic campaign is the bottling up of
Bryan until the latter part of Septem
ber. Bryan was ripening his crop two
months too soon.
a i
Some people criticise Bryan for
speaking so steadily on the defensive.
But what else could he do with such a
following and such a platform?
The dollar can be too good for the
man who has to earn It by honest toll.
Th? False Cry of
Classes and Masses
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The breeio the other day blew to
us the truth that the fathers of this
republic were neither fools nor knaves.
They accepted facta and from these drew
their principles. A dollar with them not
worth one hundred cents Was a fraud.
The grand old ocean says to the melting
snows of tha mountains on every conti
nent and to tha rivulets and streams. If
you wish to pas current throughout tha
world you must bcconui salt, malt la
Rood, and the world la entitled to the bust
and for the purpose for which It Is good
It la solely and always good. Pure salt Is
purely good. So with gold. It Is the beat.
It Is to finance and business what salt Is
for the ocean's business. You may have
currency in allver. Iron, copper, nickel.
but for stability, for surplus earnings to
buy the necessities and homes with, for
safety gold only ts beat, it floats auver.
cower, bank notes as the ocean floats
ehlpa. The allver dollar of the fathers
looked Into the fare of gold and said: "I
am as good as you are." Uolrt could have
said: "Because you are liko the honest
bushel packed down and running over.
I think you arc a little better, thrt cents
better. If you wish to float drop your three
cents. The mine owners of Colorado
say the less sliver the better and thy
would have the 50-cent dollar look In the
face of the gold one and say: "1 am Just as
good as you are." If It were possible the
silver would blush Into a re.pecta!le
size looking like, sold ut the thought, but
the sliver turns pale, and won1ers that,
itself with no tout. IntvlliKerit human
beings supposed to have a soul should
stamp on its face such u llo.
II II II
"Oh, yes," says Uryan, "my poor far
mer, I love you, no one else an much as I,
therefore take from me, president of tlio
United States of America, a tllty-cent sli
ver coin and we VII call It a dollar, and
In order to make It good we will tax these
gold bugs ten.twenty-tlve.tifty per cent, of
their income, wipe out the Supreme court,
change the republic and make It a pure
Democracy; stopping railroads when It
suits our pleasure, burning bridges, etc..
with Impunity, and the halcyon days
of the people will be with us. We will
shut out those hated English from whom
we ppruiur who we know have learned
something of business through the long
centuries and we will live In a Chinese
wall, aelf satisfied Celestials." We can
learn something from our rivals' experi
ence. 'Mr. Bryan thinks with little knowl
edge of history and leas experience, with
a few years In colters and a few years'
belligerency In the law, he thinks tie can
be the special friend of all laboring and all
business men and can tell It In honied
words. That Is enough. "Will you walk
Into my parlor said the spider to the fly.
It Is t'he prettiest little parlor that ever
your did any."
II II II
These fledglings in finance say nothing
about the prosperity of Europe today on a
gold basis at the expense of America
threatened with a allver bacss. If a gold
basis is goovt foi( . Rnglaiud, Germany,
Franco, Sweden'. Russia, who have re
peatedly tried allver to their ruin. It Is
pood for America. If through long cen
turies they have learned that the people
by experience will demand the safest,
most stable and beat currency based on
gold for all its silver, paper and govern
ment Issues, for all its bank checks, for
all due the laborer and all Interest due the
lender, then it is beat for us. Our silver
dollars coined at four million and a half
ounces per month lie Idle in government
vaults) by the ton and from the day of
their coinago have lain Idle In the vaults
of the government, and this is what
brought the panic of three years ago and
hard times ever since. It ruined confi
dence In the government, ruined confidence
In business which every clear-eyed man
saw was rushing on to silvered bank
ruptcy, instead of golden prosperity.
Bryan's theories aro all boBh, to the light
of history and experience. -II
II II
The stock in trade of these sllverlte
Populists Is prejudice, class enmity, revo
lution, and falsehood. On thase they base
their theories, and with sophistry expect
to fool some of t'he eople some of '.he
time, to the extent of capturing enough
electoral votes to give them politloal pow
er. They talk of the classes and the
masse. They define claaeuo to be the
Vanderbllts, Wall street, and the masses
the poor; another name for classes Is the
creditor and for the poor the debtor.
They put up a man of straw to fight Dim
down. The real persona they propose to
ruin as classes are not the very rich alone,
but every man who Is out of debt. Every
farmer with his farm paid for la a capi
talist, every laboring man with his homo
earned and paid for, every employe with
any surplus of earnings saved. Is a gold
bug, for bis farm, his home, his saved
oarnings he has saved In gold worth for
each dollar 100 cents. Prejudice and class
enmity say nothing of this. The man
who earns a day's wages becomes a cred
itor at the end of the day and his employer
Is a debtor however rich he may be. If
the employer has In his right hand pocket
a allver dollar worth 63 cents and In his
left a gold dollar worth 100 cents, he will
pay his creditor the cheaper currency and
keep the better and In turn the laboring
man when he pays for his supplies will
do the same thing. He will keep the 100
cent dollar and pay out the 60-cent dollar.
This is what is rightly called demonetis
ing gold. Gold is 'now demonetised al
ready. Why? Because of the fear that
there may 'be a bare chance that the lu
cent dollar will win. Bo long as this ex
ists the JiiOO.OOO.OOO of gold is out of the cur.
rency of the people and hard times will
continue. This Is not fancy. It Is expe
rience and history.
II II II
But experience and history and facts
are no longer current in the newly fledged
Democratic party. They deal in theories.
Gtve us the 50-cent dollar and they say It
will Jump sliver to $1.29 per ounce. How
do they know? Has such a fact ever oc
curred, does history present such a case?
Buppose It sfhould jump that way. Will It
buy Just as many more barrels of flour,
will It buy as many more spades with which
the digger digs, will he have left at the
end of the year his small surplus In gold?
Wo have had and now have a glorious
country. It is such because a republic, not
a democracy. No democracy ever yet
amounted to anything. A republic Is a
self-restrained democracy. Our success',
therefore. Is phenomenal because eelf
control is the glory of America. No
where else has the poor man such a
chance from poverty to wealth. No where
else do patient, economic toil win In the
long run of each man's life so many and
great rewards. The rich man and the poor
man have each only one vote. Nearly
all the rich men have come up from pov
ertythe reward of some one's labor,
frugality and skill. There are rich men
and rich men.but those who tyrannize with
their wealth are so few comrwre.l with
the great army -of successful men who
lafior and save that it is pure extrava
gance to raise a prejudice between
the classes and the masses. Capital and
labor are wedded together In this country
and the Interest of the one l the Interest
of the other. The dollar that Is good for
the rich man Is just as good for the poor
man and the laws of trade which are the
laws of nature as much as the law of
gravitation have made this so. It is as use
less to fight against It as to fight against
tho law of demand and aupply.
II II II
It may be true that for the time being
the price of wheat is low. Bryan says it
Is because silver Is demonetized and free
coinage will raise the price of silver and
the price of wheat. He bases this on no
facts. It has only his assertion to support
It. What are the facts? Take the statis
tics. You will find them now spread
broadcast. The World Almanac, the re
turns of boards of trade, the reports of
government, the newspapers on both sides
give them., What do the statistics show?
First, they show that Just in proportion
as more wheat Is produced the price baa
gone down, the same with coin, the same
with sliver. Besides the Improvements on
raising and gathering wheat and In mining
silver from the day of the fathers to the
present have increased, at less cost, the
production of wheat and silver. Now, as
a matter of fact, silver is not demonetized.
As a matter of fact all free silver countries
make the rich richer and put the poor In
an awful pitiful condition. The fact la
that the republic has been so successful
on a gold basis that she has suffered in
three years the loss in values of three
times the cost of the war without going
Into bankruptcy, has kept her sliver dol
lar at par with gold at enormous cost to
herself at the loss of H00.000.000 of gold
exports, and but for the cry of free silver
and the overthrow of her protection to
the Industries of the country in USDS she
would be today with the confidence of
her business people and of the nations of
the world, at high water mark. The
purchase of t.OOO.TOo ounces of allver per
month by the government had not the
slightest effect to stop the down drawn
price of silver which overproduction had
caused. Just as overproduction tha
world over had done with wheat and cot
ton. Silver producers were coddled with
the pap of eight cents on the dollar In
their Kland dollar, hut the silver went
down in spite of It. It was a fraud on tha
people and no fraud can succeed In God's
world on tho long run. Bryan asks for
50 cents of coddling to the dollar.
II II II
The issue Is raised, will the American
people be as honest as they have been
pat riot lo and liberty-loving when the
Integrity of the nation Is assailed? We
shall see next November. If they fall It
will be the path of revolution, ruin and
afterwards repentance if not remorse.
Such are the guide boards of history.
