"If there Is any one who believes the gold standard Is a good thing, or that It must ho maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him it will not bo maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it." William Jennings Bryan in a Speech at Knoxville, Tenn., Deliv ered Sept. 10, 180G. An Undivided Judgment. -y-UH NUMEKOUS attacks in the lower coal fields by men fl on strike and their sympa thizers upon men at work, culminating In the deplorable affair at Shenandoah and In tho Interposition of the state militia to preserve the ceil eral community fiom terrorism and i lot, present an issue regarding which tho judgment of sober public opinion Is undivided. Tho right to work Is as sacred as the right to strike. Violence or intimida tion put forth to obstruct men In the oxercl.so tif the one right is Just as much u violation of law as would be similar violence and intimidation if put forth to obstruct men from quit ting worlt at the termination of their contracts with their employer. Kvery Amuiic.m citizen must have tho un trnmelled right to choose for himself whether he shall woik or stilke and tho Invas-lon of this, right In either direction Is u blow at liberty vhich cm not bo tolerated if American free dom Is to endure. No man whoso purposes, conduct and associations nro peaceful and clrcum hpect has any reason to fear tho pros ence In any place of American soldiers to preserve order. These soldiers are all citizens who have of their own fiee will entered the military service and taken oath to obey the orders of their commanding ofiicers who in turn are subject to civilians put in places of high authority by popular vote. Their relationship to a community is exactly that of a police officer In more tran quil times. They represent nnd they enforce tho law when the local author ities have expressed their powerless ness to do this unaided. It Is fortunate that In this commun ity the number of men careless of law is comparatively few. But everywhere obedience to law must be enjoined upon every citizen. The real friend of labor Is not tho man who leads labor into trouble but tho man who tries to keep trouble nway. The Porto Rican Tariff. F .OUU MONTHS' operations of the Porto Klcan tariff law show an Increase of moie than one hundred per cent. In our exports to that Island as com pared with the corresponding month of 1889, and more than thirty per cent, ns compared with tho corresponding months of 1897 or 189S. The net went into effect May 1, 1900, so that tlu figures for August, which have just been completed nnd made public, by tho treasury bureau of sta tistics, complete the iccord of tho fourth month of commerce between tho Island and the United States un . Jer tho new law, nnd render prac ticable n comparison of the four months' term with corresponding periods'. In preceding years. The corresponding four months In ISO!) cover a period In which the ls and jas under tho American flag, but iuliject-. to the customs laws of the "nlterfi-'Etjitc-ti which relate to foreign ountrles. Tho corresponding four nonths In 1883 wero the war period ind do not, therefore, furnish a fair kisIs for comparison. The corrcspond ng four months of 13D3 and 1896 pre lent ijormal conditions In the com iierco, between tho Irland and tho United States when it was Spanish orrltofy. It Is, therefore now practicable to ontiafit th commerco between the .Tnlted .States nnd Porto Klco during 'our months' operations of the new aw with a corresponding period prior o tho enactment of this law when the Island .'was under the American Hag and also with corresponding periods when "the Island was Spanish terri tory, tuid to determine whether the enuctnfjtnt of tho new law was fol lowed hy an Increase in our commerce with tho Island. It will be remem bfred that tho discussions In con gress a few months ngo and the state ments made by delegations from, und officials In. tho Island, Indicated that the Island had, as a result of the itoiin of August, 1S99. practically nothing to sell nnd nothing with which to buy, ami It wag supposed that tho flrst f'w months under the new act would ncCMarlly show a reduction In thi uxporto and purchasltiR power o tho Island ns compared with the cor responding period In former years. It Is tlio tnoto sutprtslMK, thcrefoic, to find that tho Island has tlurlnir tho four months since tho enactment of the law, rent to the United States three and a quarter million dollars' worth of her exports, as against $1. INI.MO worth in the corresponding months of 1893, J1.1S3.000 In tho corres ponding months of ISO?, and ?1.WWW In the same months of HOG; and that Its people have been ublj to purchase ft cm tho United States during that period W.MS.OOO worth of our expor's, npaltint $1, 132,000 worth in the corres ponding months of 1MD, $629,000 worth In 1S97, and $."S7,000 worth In the cor responding months of 1898. The table which nppears elsewhere on this page shows the Imports from, and exports to, tho Island, In Its com merce with tho United States, during May, June, July and August of 1SD6, 1S97, 1S99 and 1900, respectively, and the total for each period, and thus enables n comparison by months nnd, by the entire period both with 1S99, when the Island was under the Ameri can flag but subject to the general customs laws of tho United States, and with 1S06 and 1S97, when the Is land was Spanish territory. It will be seen that every months since tho enactment of the nw law shows a marked Increase over 15.99 and a still greater Increase ns compared with 1S97 and 1S9C: while the total imports ftom the Island In tho four months of 1900 show an increase of 03 per cent, over 1899 and 174 per cent, over 1S97, and tho exports show an Increase of 123 per cent, over 1S99 and 301 per cnt. over 1897. This Is a sufficient answer to Demo cratic criticisms of tlr Porto Hlcin revenue tailij. The space rate colonels ought soon to let up on Hob.son. An Admirable Reply. TUi: PUHMCATIOX of our government's reply to (!ei many'.s demand for an Im mediate punishment of high i.nincso cimunais not yet located or tried shows that the same broad spirit of Justice combined with practical wis dom which has marked tho caily stages of our Chinese policy still guides tho later developments of it. In plain words, the German demand is accepted In legitimate purpose but lejectcd In unfair method. Tho United Stales will not make vengeance Its first motive nor will It participate In any pro gramme broadly hinting at spoliation. If Germany with Its Immense army wants to dlircgnrdMhc Implied protest of tho United States and go on with Its evident programme of levenge, the Held is open: and the United States, as a neutral, will withdraw. It holds no commission to Interpose a restraining hand. It yet has Its own affairs to straighten out with China and Its own lights to enforce and protect. Step3 toward this end it can take In Its own time and manner. It will not bo a, party to Injustice nor an acquiescent accomplice to outrage. Hut if Germany wants to continue tno concert or action wiiicli lias pre vailed In the dire extremity of the earlier situation the United States shows plainly and with unselfish In terest the lines along which this can be preserved. Kiist llnd an authorized representative of the Chinese Govern ment with whom to eonlder the pre liminaries of negotiations for a settle ment, thus affording tho other side a chance to bo heard: and then go ahead with all fair demands, keeping In view the honorable purposes stated In the American note of July 3. Meanwhile the American naval force In tho Orient Is to bo Increased as a wise guarantee of continued protection of American interests. American labor never called for a larger dinner pall dining Democratic times. What Bryan's Election voUld Mean. (Ilj linn. Henry W. Palmei). V RttYAN Is elected we may cer tainly expect: PI i st Repeal of the Illngley tariff. Second Freo I coinage of silver upon a ratio of lfi to 1, without the consent of any other nation. Third A surrender of all authority In the Philippine Islands, and an undertaking to defend any government that Agulnaldo may es tablish from all foreign Interference. In the light of the experience of this country, nftei the repeal of the Mc Klnley tariff and the enactment of the Wilson bill. It would seem to be Im possible for any sane man to be willing to go through It ngalu. Can tho manu facture! s and merchants who failed, tho farmers who wero sold out and the workmen who sat Idle while their families lacked for lucid, bo fooled or cajoled or frightened Into voting the country Into another panic of 1S93V If so they have a chance. If nnv devotee of tariff reform can convince himself that tinkering with the tariff will not bring the same re suit In 1901 that It did in 1S93, ho will perhaps concede that If the currency Is depreciated by admitting sliver to bo coined free and to be made a legal tender for debts, the resulting disturb ance of business, icadjustment of values and destjuctlon of confidence will end In untveisal bankruptcy. If Bryan Is elected free coinage of silver Is sure within three years thereafter. Knllghtened by the disastrous history ot nil attempts to depreciate the cur rency In all countries, the people voted In 1SC that they would not sinctlon that dishonesty or be a party to na tional dishonor. "Will this verdict be reversed In WO' The time that has elapsed since 1890 has proved all arguments of the free silver advocates, Including thoso of its chief apostle, Mr. Ilryan, to be false absolutely and unmistakably false. Ho argued that the price of silver nnd the price of wheat were bound together and rose and fell together. f Since that time wheat und silver have parted company. While wheat has steadily advanced sliver has steadily de preciated. He argued that prices never could go up until free coinage and tho government Hut raised the monetary value of silver. Now he Is forced to admit that prices 'hnve ad vanced without free coinage. All per sons who having deposits in savings bank, who wish their good dollars, worth 100 cents each, to be returned to them in Ilrynn dollar, worth 43 cents, will not fall to vote for him. All per sons who work for wages who wish to have the purchasing power of their dally pay cut In two and the price of tho necessaries of Ufa doubled, will mako hasto to voto for Mr. llryan. All manufacturers, men of business, who wish to go through a financial crisis which will wreck every business and financial Institution In the United States and as consequence smite trade a death blow, will not fall to vote for Mr. Ilrynn. He Is a believer In free silver and ho Is bound by the most solemn pledco to coin It without limit and If he Is as sincere a3 his devotees hellcvn him to be, surely he will not fall them, though the fortune of every plutocrat and the humble home of ev ery mechanic should fall ns a sacilllcc. Finally, Mr. Uryan demands that ho L'fchall be made president because he says tho Republican party contemplate changing tho republic Into an empire, und that they Intend to subvert the liberties of the people by the use of a, standing army, which will be needed to carry out their policy of Imperial. Ism. Having favored the war with Spain, ho did not object to the de struction of the Spanish licet in the harbor of Manila. Having been In strumental In ratifying the treaty of peace whereby tho United States paid Spain $20,000,000 for the Philippines, he does not object to establishing a stable government In tho place of that which we destroyed, but his plan does not Include tho use of force. He would convene congress In an extra session Immediately after his election and ask that a stable government be estab lished for tho Philippines. Ho would haul down tho Stars nnd Stripes and replace It by tho Hag of tho Philip pine republic. The only possible right thnt the con gress of the United States could havs to establish a republican form of gov ernment In tho Philippines rests upon tho fact that the United States Is the owner or the sovereign of the Islands. If we are neither owner nor sovereign then Mr. Riyan and congress have no right to establish any government, stable or otherwise, In the Philippines. If the Philippines are entitled to form their own government and govern themselves, they have a right to es tablish n monarchy or an oligarchy or ii despotism. Perchance Mr. Bryan's government would not suit Agulnaldo. Certainly, with his views concerning the consent of tho governed and the equality of mankind, Mr. Uryan could not presume to foice them to accept theuTorm of government he might pre scribe. Logically they must be left to adopt such a government as they may deem best suited to their wants. Rut Mr. Ri. van's plan promises to defend the Philippines against all foreign In terference. Suppose Mr. Agulnaldo and his army should piefer a military despotism, which would enable them to murder all the filars against whom they seem to have a deadly hatied, break up all their religious establishments and con fiscate all their ptoperty. Suppose Mr. Agulnaldo, being the military despot, should carry out the plan which he lecently formed to loot tho city of Manila, murder all the Spanish. Kng llsh, Ueiman and Piench, and take possession of their property. Being a slnceio nnd honest man Mr. Bryan would bo compelled to defend the Philippines against all foreign aggres sion; therefore, when the outraged na tions demanded leparatlon and restitu tion and sent their navies to enforce their demands, the United States would be bound to rally to their de fense. The size of the army and navy needed to defend the Philippines under such possible, If not probable, condi tions would so far exceed anv force needed Co establish a stable govern ment under the plan of the 'adminis tration that Mr. Bryan's fears of mili tarism might be realized. It Is fortunate, Indeed, that Mr. Bryan has been frank enough to mako his plan and purpose respecting the government of the Philippines known In time. Probably there Is not another man In tho United States outside an Insane asylum who would ever consent to surrender all authority over these eight millions of people, mainly bar barians, and at the samo time under take to defend them and any govern ment they might adopt against all in tcrfctcnco by other nations. In declaring that the American young man Is being robbed of his chance hi life Mr. Bryan forgets how one young man, residing In Nebraska, has In four years bridged tho distance between comparative obscurity with poverty and International renown with the largest bank account In his residence city. The American voung man with the right kind of stuff In him needs no commiseration from Bryan, Croker and Co, Not a single nation disputes our pos session of the Philippines, The only organized opposition to the consumma tion of the Paris treaty comes from Agulnaldo and the Democratic party. Tho light to strike cannot exist with out the light to work. Wanton de struction of the latter by capital Isj criminal, but Its destruction by labor Is suicidal. i SI - As between desertion nnd duty In the Philippines the American people will never chooso the former.

OF Till! executive omn el a cor poration of Bueh extensive business that it la sometimes clawed with the trusts has lieen moro concerned for a few necks about certain builness embarrassments that ha has met tvlth than because ot any of the warnings he has received from politi cal friends of possible dsnajcr to the Republican campaign. I.iit June It was found to be ot the utmost importance for the Interests of this In dustry that there should be recelTcd Into Its employment a number of youna; men fitted for their work by technical scientific education. Tho Immediate rewards were ot a kind to tempt any young man who had recently received a degree of bachelor of science or any of the diplomas setting forth technical excellence on th part nf the holder. The salary, even the least of the pajments, was sufficient to support a young man In a city like New York comfortably, and if lie wern frugal without being parsimonious, the pajment was large enough to make It possible for him to go to the savings bank onco a week and mako some deposit. In addition to that his cmplojment fitted him to become a technical expert, and If his industry and ability Justified It ho would before long be In the receipt of a much larger salary and would also see opportuni ty for further adianccment. Therefore It was thought that if application were made to tho Instructors ot some of the technical or scientific schools there would come reponscs that would mako It possible to fill the ten or twelve places which the corporation sought to fill. Correspondence was begun with the Poston In stitute of Technology. In a few days a reply was rrcclscd from that Institution stating that all of the graduates of last spring had, within a week after graduation, obtained employ ment and wero now at work at their desks In various establishments in this country In which scientific or technical training Is required for the manufacture of the products ot these Indus tries. Boston, therefore, was unable to furnish een one young man capable of filling a desirable place in a great industry in Sew York. The de mand was greater than the supply. As soon as this answer was received from the noston Insti tution, application of a like nature was made to the officers of the Stevens Institute at Hobo ken. In a few daja a reply came stating that every one of the latet graduates ot that Institu tion had been called Into remunerative employ ment by some of the greater Industries id tho I'nlteil States. The fnherslty of Nebraska has gained a high reputation for the thornughne'S with which Its silentltir curriculum Is main tained nnd tho ability which the graduates of that Institution base shown when they have gone forth Into the world. The officers of this institution replied to the applkatlon bj sajlng that the entire class In the technical department of the University of Nebraska had been employed either upon the dav when the diplomas wire dlslilbutcd or before that day. With this third answer showing that in the Tast and the far West there existed the same conditions, the officers of our local Industry be gan to be somewhat alarmed. They wrote to the Troy Polytechnic School, to Cornell and to one or two others, and the repluw from all these institutions were ot like tenor. Therefore, It has been Impossible so far to find among the young men of tho United States any competent to do tho technical work which Is demanded, who are not now in full emplovimnt, finding elsewhere salaries and opportunities for advancement eo.ua! to those which they would base dlscocred in this New York office. It mav be that this indus try will bo compelled to wait another ear, or until tho present senior classes in ourinstltutes of technology are graduated before they can satl(.irtonly fill the desk that are now wcant. o I..ist spring a subordinate officer of one of the tru-t corporations here, that Is to say a banking house lawfully authorized to act as trustee, re signed liis prist because he lud recehed an offer that brought with it not only larger salary but great responsibilities and more intimate associa tions with influential capital. His place was one .ipproprlate for a joung man who nan learned the details ot the banking business and who had shown ability and a capacity for ad lanccincnr. The officers of this trust hunted high anil low for a mmg man competent to take his place. Tlieio were m.in who were thus compe tent, but they were already in satisfactory em ployment, and It was not until nearly two months had passed that allei searching through en cry banking house In New York and many out side thev ar last found a young man whom It was possible to persuade to accept the place. The head of one of the great department stores in New York, a nun of wide experience und ery successful in executhe administration, ttated jesterdjy that in all his life as a business mm be had neser known finer openings or better op portunities for joung men who had industry or were of good habits, were ambitious and especial ly when in addition to 'these qualities they had ability. "Capacity was noer more speedily al lotted to its appropriate plate or received better pecuniary return than is the case todiy. Our great corporations and industries arc constantly upon the lookout for .soiing men ot abilltj and advancement in these industries was noser surer or hotter paid than now. Of course, there is a feeling that a man who receises h salary Is alter all no moie tlnn a sonant. Put his sucioss de pends upon what kind of a servant he is, ami he may be a vers Independent and wholly self-respecting tenant nowadays, even though he rc celcc a weekly or monthly payment instead of finding his support in the profits of a business of which he Is master. Ilut they are all servants. Mr. Callaway, the head ot the New York Central, is a servant of tint corporation, and Mr. Depew has olten said that though he is chairman ot the executive board, nevertheless he is employed by tho stockholders who own the New York Central, acting through the directors, and it is the stock holders In the last analysis who are the masters." o The other day Abram b. Hewitt, speaking to a friend of the speech lie made a few years ago, in which he set forth what was probably to lie the outcome of tho combinations ot industries into one corporation, said that he felt even surer now than he did when he made that speech that bv and by, when this industrial development is perfectly worked nut, it would bo discovered that the men who receive salaries from the great cor peuatlons were also its masters through their ownership of its stock. It may ultimately mean the disappearance of the savings bank, Its place having been taken by the great industrial com binations. o In the town of Preston, Kngland, there recently was opened a mammoth manufacturing establish ment, making conmicrtlal application of some of the hiLsinesa uses to which electricity can be put. which of itself is a confession of the su periority which Americans have gained very largely through the application ot scientific and ALWAYS BUST.

These young; men are not all of the samo capa city, although few of them are not Industrious and ambitious. Their Industry and ambition as sure them of permanence In their employment and their greater advancement Is measured by their capacity. It was said by one of the great est geniuses of our time, a man who lifted him self from the humblest of early environments to a position of great Influence, and he possesses great wealthl "Nobody can revile at laws or politics or social Institutions for any difference in Intellectual character between any two young men. That difference represents a higher than any earthly power, and the young man who Is blessed with great Intellectual gilts may Justly be the admiration, but should not he the envy of those who are less fortunate than hcj nor docs It become any politician to attempt to raise any political Issue by reason ot the success which attends ability, which Is a Heaven-given gift." President Vrecland, who not many years ago was a brakeman, and before that drove a grocery wagon, said In speaking of his own career and experience that he was more and more persuaded that under our form of government Hie oppor tunities which awaited every young man were only to be measured by his capacity and his In dustry. This was Illustrated by the experience which was met witn the great works at Preston, The work were constructed under the supervision of an American engineer. They are to be in charge of a young man who, though of Kngllsh birth, had his scientific and practical training in one of the greater of the Industrial corpora lions of the United States. The American system that looks to the establishment of the most per fect economies or prevention of waste, the pay ment of high wages to skilled artisans, the em ployment of the best labor saving machinery, Is to be adopted there. And in all the more Im portant technical Journals of Ore.it Britain which havo leached this country within two or three weeks there is acknowledgment that if tireat Britain is to maintain her share of commercial and Industrial prosperity she must go to school in the United States or bring American indus trial scliool-masters over there to teach the secret of a success that has seemed so paradoxi cal to them, since, although we pay the highest wages and the best salaries, and at the same time employ to the utmost labor-srvlng machin ery, nevertheless we are able to turn out a pro duct fully as good, generally better, than the product of like Kngllsh manufactories, and to put It upon the maiket at a less tost. o "T don't agree with Mr. Croker," President Vrecland Is reported to have said, "for. In my opinion, we are at the opening of an era uhen the greatest of nil opportunities await young men." ANTI-QUAYITE NOMINATED. By Kxcluslve Wire from The Associated Tress. Altoona, Pa., Sept. 2',.
