Mr. Cleveland evidently regarded the
Indianapolis nomination in the light of
a gold brick.
What Bryan Could Do.
The danger of placing the reins of
government in the hands of a man
like William Jennings Bryan Is clearly
pointed out In the editorial column of an
exchange when the power vested in
the president is discussed at length:
"Ex-rresldent Harrison's statement
that a president of the United States
could himself within a week bring the
currency on a silver basis has, It says,
been a subject of some dispute. It is
contended that the president must first
wait for the action of congress.
"This Is true so far as an authoriza
tion of free and unlimited coinage Is
concerned, which would need to go
through the regular process of legisla
tion; but If w. J. Bryan wore to be
elected to the presidency ho would not
need to concern himself about congress
in accomplishing his desire to annihi
late the gold basis.
All that Mr. Bryan would need to do,
nd what he undoubtedly would do,
would be to put an end at once to the
policy of maintaining the gold reserve
and then proceed to the use of silver in
the payment of the government's debts;
all of which Is entirely within the au
thority of tho executive. It Is for not
doing this that Mr. Cleveland lias been
the object of the hostility of the Popu
list wing of the Democratic party;
there Is no law which would prevent
him from doing It If he were so dis
posed; and the fact that he has refused
to do it will be the one feature of his
career that will be remembered longest
to his credit in every Just estimate of
tils administration.
"The destruction of the gold reserve,
the conseqeunt extinction of the gold
basis and the all but universal use of
liver by the government could be and
would be brought about by Bryan, if
he were 4o be elected, before he would
have slept half a dozen nights in the
white house. A secretary of the treas
ury like Richard P. Bland or John P.
Altgeld would make the task a very
easy one."
Western silver barons have been al
lowing Martyr St. John to have his own
way about running the eastern cam
paign even to paying the bills of ex
pense. The Cuban Crisis,
If the latest dispatches from Cuba arc
reliable, the revolution in that country
Is rapidly nearing a climax. There are
indications that the Conservative party,
which has heretofore been the power
behind Weyler," will be apt to shake oft
several degrees of patriotism in the
near future.
Between the campaign of destruction
that Is part ot the war policy of Gomez,
and Weyler's decree forbidding the
(rinding- ot cans and the gathering of
coffee, the conservatives with a prop
erty stake, in the country were bound
to get the worst of it without reference
to who might win or lose In the military
operations that will follow the rainy
season. Then such an heroic test of
their loyalty to the Spanish crown
touched them in that tenderesjt of all
places, their pockets.
Weyler insists that the situation calls
for the sacrifice he proposes, and that
the planter who kicks is disloyal to the
Spanish cause. On the head of such a
declaration from the captain general
the conservatives have asked the Mad
rid government to recall Weyler, inti
mating that If it became necessary to
frej. rid of him In that way they would
deport him, whether he wanted to go
or stay.
. Now the news comes from Madrid
that the Spanish povernmcnt sees no
reason to comply with the insolent de
mands of the conservatives, nnd that
Weyler has been directed to prosecuto
the war with all severity. Obviously,
the Cubans' who have thus far clung to
their Spanish allesiance are left to
make good their proposed resort to
force to rid themselves of the obnoxious1
commander. Of course, nn attempt nt
anything of the kind would be equiva
lent to as open rebellion as the Insur
gents have been guilty of, and the con
servatives are not likely to go to Buoh
lengths in the send-ofu Hut In any case,
they will be rebels for all the practical
purposes of making It hard sledding for
Spanish authority.
With this Important party In sympa
thy with them it is certain that the reb
els will make rapid progress when ac
tive hostilities are resumed.

"I do not know what you think
about It, but I believe that it is a

Free Silver In Operation.
In this campaign it is well to deal as
largely as possible with facts. We pre
sent herewith, for the consideration of
worklngmen, a few facts as to how free
silver works in Mexico. They are told
in the language of Congressman Lacy,
of Iowa, and may be depended upon as
true in every particular:
Last summer I went to Mexico and made
a study of the free silver question. It was
a thorough Investigation. I took an Inter
preter with me and went righ.t in among
the worklngmen. I investigated the rate
of wages paid and how the worklngmen
lived. Let me give you an Instance: In
Guanajuato I found about 200 Mexicans
employed In maklnir a reservoir. It was
the hardest kind of work. They carried
the sand and earth out of the excavation
on their backs in sacks and baskets. Their
hours were from 6 o'clock in the morning
to S o'clock at night, with two intermls
Fiona of half an hour each, making eleven
hours' labor. For this they received 22
cents a day in Mexican silver, or about 13
cents In American money. I was there
when the bell rang for the half hour for
dinner. The men sat down in groups, and
I saw what they had to eat. The meal
consisted of cold corn cakes, which somo
warmed on a charcoal fire, and cold baked
beans, or tortillas. On their cakes they
spread what Is called Mexican butter. This
Is a pear-shaped fruit called anuaeatn.
With a few rod poppers In their beans,
these articles composed tholr meal. I did
not see one eating a piece of meat.
Naturally, I wits Interested to know how
men could live, oven so poorly, on 22 cents
Mexican money nor tiny. Inquiry showed
that their food :'J3 nil produced by home
labor paid at the rsmo low rates as them
selves. None of that class of products is
being exported, and they simply consumed
the products of other cheap labor. Now,
If they used coffee, an export article, they
had to pay from ?2 to (10 cents per pound in
Mexican money, the price helnjr tlxed ry
the export price In gold. Consequently
It follows that the lnborlne; people can
only use articles that nre not exported. I
found that there hail been prnctlrally no
Eflvnnoe In wtixps during the last twenty
five years, while there had boon a great
advnr.ro In the prices of all articles of ex
port. Mexican labor is the poorest paid
thnt I havo over seen.
It was of espoclall Interest to note, too,
the effects of free ellver on the railroad In
terests nnd labor In Mexico. All the rail
road mortpanos nre held abroad and pay
able, principal and Interest, in gold, tho
samo as ours. (Sold, when I was there,
was nt a premium of 8S per cent. When
the dollar paid its interest on the bonds
and morlsnffcs, It had to pay Sl.RS for every
dollar In Interest. This almost doubles tho
fixed charges on tho rood. Fa nnd
frelshts were raised with ti'e premium en
gold, but, with tho fixed ri:r.rcs nl-nost
doubled, wnges were not rnlr.ri. They re
mained the same about 55 certs a day. It
is true that the wairos of tho American en
gineers and conductors were raised as the
premium on gold Increase.. These wera
paid American prices in Mexican money.
Put he superintendent said they must do
this, as It was necessary to have American
worklngmen for somo branches of their
work. He said: "If an endne breaks
down, a Mexican engineer folds hi3 hands
and goes to praying. But au American
engineer swears a little, perhaps, and then
fixes his engine." The bulk of tho labor
employed Is Mexican, however, and Is paid
in Mexican rates in Mexican money.
The American .worklng'man who
wants -to see tho wage conditions cf
Mexican labor paralleled In the United
States should vote and work for Bryan
and free silver. But If he wants his
dollar to remain equal to the be3t, both
in purchasing and in debt-paying power,
he will vote and work for McKlnley,
Hobart, Protection nn,d sound money.
The choice Is clear and he need not be
under any mistake as to which will be
for his best interests.

AS TO CANADA.
From the Washincton Tost.
The peopio of the United States do not
desiro to annex Canada. There is no sec
tion of thlsrcpublic that wants Canada an
nexed. Kven in the border states there
is little, if any, sentiment favorable to an
nexation. Our peopio do not want to
shoulder Canada's enormous debt, and
there are questions In the Internal polities
of Canada that this country desires and
Intends to keop clear of. There is moro
thnn one province of the domliflon that U
not, and will not for many years, be ca
pable of lilting the place of a state In our
union. Our peopio are quite content. to
let Canada remain a colonial dependency
of the British crown, not only for tho
reasons already stated, but for the further
reason that we are getting the best of her
people, both native and alien. Tho most
enterprising of her homo-born young men
are putting themselves under the Stars
and Stripes, and she filters her Immigra
tion for our beneilt, the dregs remaining
north of tho border, and the elements of
good citizenship coming our way.
AX OUTSIDE VIEW.
From the Chlcaso Record.
One of the moi.t notable features of the
presidential campaign Is 'the unusual in
terest manifested by the religious press of
tile country. Heretofore, as a class, the
church papers have refrained lruni the ex
pression of what their readers might con
strue as partisan opinions. This year wit
nesses a change. The issues seem to them
to have moral phases, and some of them
feel it their duty to express decided opin
ions. Upon the money question the ex
pressed setntlment, with but few excep
tions, Is against free sliver. The New
York Independent referring to the action
of tho Chicago convention declares: "I:
is a though the great Democratic party
had been led Into some wild orgy In which
It made Its excesses its policy, threw all
that is honorable In Its history to tho
winds and started on a career of utter
madness. We do not wonder that deceniJ
Democrats, north and south, east ana
west, turn from the convention at Chicago
with anger and diSKUst, and repudiate it
utterly. That is what the peopio will do
In November. The danger Is akin to that
which confronted the people In l&CO, but
wo have tho most perfect conlldenee as
to the outcome. Common sonse, common
honesty and common devotion to our ln
blltutions will triumph, as they have tri
umphed before, and save to us our honor,
our institutions and our government."
The Rev. Dr. Heliry M. Field, brother ol
Justice S. J. Field, of the United States
Supremo court, and editor of the Net
York Evangelist, one of the leading Pres
byterian papcrsosserts that "no man 13
freo from puilt Who, for mere party rea
tons, gives his vote to a policy which may
not only bring disaster to thouands of In
dividuals, but which may Involve the
whole country In a wreck and ruin, from
which it will take a generation to recov.
er." Tho Congrepationallst of Boston, the
most widely circulated paper of Its de
nomination, declares: "The issue Is not
whether the candidates are statesmen,
not whether the demonetization of rluer
by the United Slates in 1ST3 was a willful
cr unintentional wronging of the debtor
and enriching of the creditor class, not
whether fold has appreciated, nnd if so
whether it has caused low prices, not
whether tho United States can by its Hat
make 53 cents of silver worth loo cents in
gold, not whether the tariff should be
for revenue only cr for protection as well,
although thes are aspects of tho problem
which must be, and will be, considered,
but the Issue now Is whether our national
obligations to foreign ar.d native creditors
uro to be dprlveJ cf all power to d. fetid
the national credit in times of stress or
popular madness, whether tho federal au
thority i to be supremo when Ftato or
local authority fails to copo with orfran
iitd lawlessness, whether the federal Ju
diciary is to bo honored and kept secure
In Itu life tenure suhlc-ct always to good
behavior whether the civil service is aitaln I
to become the prey of the soollsman, in
chort, whether a revolution backward la ti
bc.-in, which would set nt namrht the prin
ciples which undeiiio the republic and ci
vilization." II II I!
One of the most note-worthy uttTaives
Is that of tho outlook of Now York, cdlt-r-rt
bv Dr. Lyman Abbott nnd Henry W.
Mnble. This paper is stroimly bimetallic,
and Bit one time favored the freo coinage
of the American product or silver. It now
rays: "The free coinage of silver by this
country alone wool! invite ui."a.iiM-s
r.reater than thopo which have fallen upon
our productive Interests and fa-ten
upon the country for en Indefinite period
the po'h'y of monometallism not the mon
ometallism of prolJ, from which the coun
try Is now sufCerins. but the monometal
lism of silver, which, save thnt the silver
product Is larger than the gold product,
would. In our Judgment, be even more un
scientific and unsatisfactory. It would
postpone indefinitely the adoption of a
genuine bimetallic policy among me great
commercial nations."
