"If there la any one who believes
the gold standard is a good thing,
or that it must be maintained, I
warn him not to cast his vote for
me, because I promise him it will
not" be maintained in this country
longer than I am able to get rid of
it." William Jennings Bryan in a
Speech at Knoxvillo, Tenn., Deliv
ered Sept. 16, 1896.
"The party stands where it did in
1896 on tho money question." Will
lam Jennings Bryan, Zanesville, O.,

IT SEEMS, according to the Blng
hamton Leader, that at one
time in the city of Blnghamton
there was a small match fac
tory called the Independent Match
company, which ran in opposition to
tho Diamond Match company, tho bis
concern which owns most of the match
factories in the United States. The
Blnghamton concern sold out to tho
Diamond company and the latter
moved its machinery away. This, ac
cording to the Scranton Times, con
stitutes a strong reason why the
laboring men of Lackawanna county
should vote for Bryan. It shows the
awful work of a "trust."
I .at us seo about this. Is there any
law against one concern selling out
to another? Could Bryan pass any
law making; it a crime for the owner
of machinery in Bingliamlon to move
it, for example, to Scranton, or vice
vi'Ha? Was the crime in buying, sell
ing or moving? Or was there any
crime at all? How would the Times
construct its argument if Instead of
the Blnghamton concern selling to the
match "trust" It had Instead bought
out the "trust" plants and moved them
to Blnghamton? Would that have
made any difference in the equity of
the transaction?
Perhaps tho Bryanlte reply would
be: "The buying out of that Inde
pendent match factory threw men out
of work." True; but it also threw
other men into work. The case. Is as
broad as It is long. If the Blngham
ton concern could have made more
money by continuing In business than
by selling, it would not have sold. If
it couldn't have made a profit by run
ning, there Is no possible law which
could have forced it to continue in
business at a loss. If the Times
could buy the Truth, or vice versa,
and it appeared to be a transaction in
volving business benefits, could Bryan
or a Democratic congiess interpose a
veto? Could either stop the morning
of these plants and tho substitution of
ono wot king force for two if the re
spective owners so decided (and agreed?
There is n vast deal of buncombe in
this Populistic howl against trusts.
Thinking people are growing tired of
it.
Thoro has never been a campaign In
this county without a lot of lying
rumors launched to create confusion
and discord. The present campaign will
probably not be an exception. It Is
well, therefore, to say in advance, with
all tho emphasis at command, that the
Republican candidates this year nro
working together In complete accord
and that whatever you may hear to
the contrary is false. They nre work
ing to win and they are coin- to win.
i
Here Is the Democratic Record on
1
the Trust Question,
EVEKY LINE of legislation
. now on tho statute books of
the United States directed
against trusts and unlawful
trndi combinations was placed there
by the Republicans. That there Is not
more stringent law against them Is tho
fault of the Democratic party. Tim
last occasion on which the parties, ns
represented In congress, went on rec
ord on the trust question wns on June
1, 1000.' On that day u final vote was
taken on a constitutional amendment
tf) want congress' power to "define,
refetitVte, jnohllilt and dissolve trusts,
monopolies and combinations, whether
existing In' tho form of corporations or
otherwise, It requires, a two-thlids
vote of congress to submit a Constitu
tional amendment to tho state loch
ia urcs for ratification. The question
to so submit It was lost by a vote of
16 yeaflio 138 nays,
)F TlIK YEAS 110 WEltE UEPUB
LKJANS AND ONLY 5 WERE DEMO.
CRATS. The Ave were Campbell, of
Montana; Nnphen and Taylor, of Mas

and all iho other professional "trust
klllera" voted NAY. They declined to
give congress the power to grapple
with the trusts. Tho Democrats In
dttlBcd In spesms of virtue for two
days, denouncing tho trusts, and then
voted to continue them.
In ono of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches
ho gave the Republican rempdy ns the
final onu ho would adopt, In case bo
was elected and all other means failed.
In other words, Mr. Bryan admits the
value of tho Republican Idea, but
wants to try other measures ilrst. Ho
has not said what those measures nro
to lie. fc'oine trusts operate all over
tho country; others, like tho New Yoik
Ico Trust, operate In a clngl" city. Tho
requisite power to reach each and all
and bring them within the Federal
law, WAS DENIED BY A MARGIN
OP 36 VOTES, ALL DEMOCRATIC.
Denouncing Is ono thing. Doing Is
another. Mr. Bryan's trust denuncia
tions, In view of his patty's record,
promise no better than the prophecies
ho made four years ago; and as a
prophet Mr. Bryan has not succeeded.
After all Is said, the paramount is
sue Is Bryan vs'. Business.
As to Imperialism.
-T-HE HALLUCINATION that
I the Ameilean people, born
" to a heritage of free gov
ernment and bred in the at
mosphere of well-regulated liberty,
could bo coerced or cajoled into part
ing with their freedom Is not shared
by any citizen In a normal state of
health. We are unable to credit Mr.
Bryan and his local echoes with really
taking any stock In It beyond Its
diminishing utility as a campaign
scarecrow.
When a man is not in good health;
when his bodily functions are de
ranged; when tho food he eats does
not supply requisite nutrition, when
his blood Is watery, his nerves at ten
sion and his whole Inward apparatus
consciously or unconsciously out of
keltcr, then it not infrequently hap
pens that he Is psychologically ripe to
catch just such epidemic vagaries as
this lecent spawn of Bryanlsm that the
men and women of this great repub
lic purpose, if McKlnley is re-elected,
to turn oppiessois, forego their civic
rights and set up a king. Intemper
ate brooding on dire conjectures touch
ing the remote and immeasurable
futuie tends to produce the condition
of mind in which manias are bred; but
manias are not the true basis of ma
jority rule.
The cry of imperialism has been
made every time a big undet taking
was In hand. It was a bugaboo in the
convention which framed our consti
tution. It made a continual din In the
ears of Washington. It reverberated
in the days of Jefferson. It was the
feature of the opposition's attacks
upon Andrew Jackson. And in later
years, when was It more intemper
ately and abusively resoited to than
In the Democracy's onslaughts upon
those pillars of human freedom, Abra
ham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant?
The American people ate getting used
to this fake yell. It doesn't fool them
a little bit.
"Imperialism" In the Philippines
means doing as much as -we can as
fast as wo can for a mixed collection
of Malays thrown under our flag by
the fortunes of war and with a few
conspicuous exceptions as little fitted
to govern themselves as the Piute
Indians on our western plains. When
these untutored victims of Spanish
neglect are rebellious and homicidal
and Inclined to repay kindness with
knife stabs and pistol shots It means
taking them by tho nape of tho neck
and administering paternal discipline;
but to all who behave it moans In
struction, protection, encouragement"
and development, toward the goal of
unfettered self-rule. Ilifalutin talk
about tho "consent of the governed"
and the "Inalienable tights of man,"
coming from men who forget all about
the political fate of the disfranchised
southern negro, makes no difference in
the fact that we have wot the Philip,
plno bear by tho tail and must hold on
until the animal Is tamed, The treaty
of Paris made these Islands property
of the United States and put upon the
president the duty of enforcing order
in them until ho gets further ordets
from the people. It Is a big Job and
not yet ended, but Its completion will
not bo expedited by back-lb lug at
home.
It belongs to congress to bay how
these now dependencies, when put In
order, shall bo governed, If congress
shall show any tendency toward un
American methods then will bo the
time for our anti-Imperialist follow
cltlzens to arise and object. Just now
the proposition Is the Hat one of stand
ing by the ling and tho man who won't
do that, however well-meaning, Is to
every practical puiposo a trnltor to hts
I'ountry because nn alder and abettor
of Its armed foes.
Bryan denies tho report that ho had
promised a cabinet position to Crofter,
Tho fuot seems to bo that Bryan has
promised nothing at all.excopt to ltlck
the splnnl column out of tho gold
standard and to make tho American
Hag In tho Philippines look like a
back-number porous plaster.
If American statesmanship had no
bettor representatives than such men
us Bryan, Altgeld, Pettlgrew and Till
man, the country would have to con
fess that "the whlo mail's1 burden" wns
too heavy, But the mantles of Jeffer
- ' - Ji&tjtt 1,-,'WtgJ-Jaagfc jji-it,!, iUct,
son, Jackson and Lincoln have been
Inherited by others ns patriotic as
they, who will not pawn their Judg
ment for homlnatlonn or trade their
Inllttence for votes.
Kansas and Mississippi each ban
seven congress districts. In Kansas It
takes 21,033 votes on the average to
elect a congressman, while In Missis
Hipp! It takes only 3,105. In other
words, under tho Democratic plan of
governing the colored citizen without
bin consent, a voto In tho solid South
has seven times the effective force of a
voto In other sections. This Is a hard,
fact which Bryan finds It convenient
to overlook, but which will not down.
A Loose Thinker.
I
N HIS SPEECH before tho Chi
cago conference on trusts, made
Sept. 16, 1S99, William Jennings
Bryan said: "There Is no good
monopoly in private hands, and I do
ont believe It Is safe for any man or
group of men to monopolize any nrtlcle
of merchandise, or any blanch of In
dustry." On Oct. 10, of the current
year, spenklng at Nashville, Mich., Mr.
Bryan asked: "Do you know of any
good monopoly In private hnnds? Do
you know of any man good enough
to stand at tho head of any monopoly,
and determine the price of that which
others are to use?"
In reply It Illustrates a point to call
attention to tho fact that there Is a
certain book known as "The First
Battle," which Is an article of mer
chandise, and an nbsolute monopoly
In W. J. Bryan's hands. Ho holds a
copyright upon It and this copyright
prevents any publisher from reprint
ing It without his consent. This Is
the most absolute kind of monopoly
known to the law and in operation it
has made Mr. Bryan a rich man. No
body begrudges what he has received
In royalty upon his book. No one dis
putes his explanation that those who
bought his book could. If they had so
desired, let it alone. That Is true of
most articles offered for sale. No In
dispensable article Is long a subject
of monopoly; the ttust which tries to
control It goes down with a crash.
But tho incident shows how loose are
Mr. Bryan's mental processes; how
little there is to much of his pre
tentious oratory when you come to put
It under tho X ray of cold facts.
Every copyright, every patent, is a
monopoly In a private hand. To abol
ish these would overturn a recognized
equity which has the sanction of civil
ized society everywhere.
The public debt shows a decrease of
$6,122,133 during the last month an
other evidence that this Is not a
Democratic administration.
A Type of Many
AN UMBER of our reader
acquainted with Ge
Charles P. Smyth, of
readers a
General
Clin
ton, N. Y. He Is an old
time Democrat who was a member of
Samuel J. Tilden's staff when Mr. TU
den was governor of New York, but he
cannot stomach Bryanlsm. When in
Chicago recently General Smyth was
interviewed by the Inter-Ocean. He
said:
I lmc been a Democrat all my life, but when
Mr. Iiijan was nominated by the Chieago conven
tion on the most danscrous political platform I
ever remember, I refused to support him. I am
not a Populist or a believer in free coinage of
tiluT at 10 to 1. I could not support -Mr. llryan
on tho I'opullstic platform of 189(5 and I can not
support him on tho Kansas City platform, Jtr.
Ill j an and his platform arc just as danscrous now
as in lSOO, and more so, because vc have more at
ttaKo now than wc had then. Jlr. Bryan's elec
tion would paral70 business. Money would be
withheld and withdrawn from enterprise to find
n site retreat until it was known what policy
tho new administration would adopt. There
would be the instant fear of free coinage and the
shrinkage of alucs. There would be paraljsis
in business which would be felt throughout the
country.
Thousands of Democrats are of tho
same opinion. The idea that sound
money Democrats will In numbers
support Bryan this year Is being rap
idly exploded.
The opening games of foot ball were
a trifle discouraging to the surgeons.
A foot ball game that creates demand
for nothln.T but court plaster may be
an Indication that the sport Is on the
decline.
So long as the patent medicine por
trait business continues to flourish,
some consolation Is left for people of
promlnenco whose pictures will not
adorn the hall of fame.
Tho chief Democratic objection to
the full dinner pail is the fact that
it makes the average man rather In
different to the pathos of a calamity
howl.
Th'' apptonch of election day does
not appear to Increase tho regard of
the average Democtatio orator for tho
truth.
It begins to look as though Jack

1SS4.
Violated Solemn Pledges.
I Impeach Abraham Lincoln ami the Ttepubllean
party, because they did not and would not, when
they could, Rive tho country from the revolution
which has overwhelmed it. I Impeach Abraham
Lincoln, and his administration, because when
entrusted by a patriotic people with the control
of sreat armies, they wielded them In violation
of solemn pledges given to the nation. In viola
tion of the most acrcd constitutional obligations,
nnd for the destruction Instead of the preserva
tion of the t'nlon. .Judge Comstock, of Ryrtcii'e,
N. V in a speech at Ilrooklyni published in
Indianapolis Sentinel of Sept. 20, 18S4.
Freedom Struck Sown.
Half a million of our young men have been
sacrificed to the dread Moloch of war and the
appetite for blood Is not appeased. The r-plrit
of implacable hatred has been sown and fostered
In the land. An enormous debt has been created
which must rest for ages like an Incubus upon
the indusliy of the country. Tho freedom of tho
pres and of pccch and the right of liberty have
been struck down. The Republican party Is re
sponsible for all thee wrongs heaped upon a
patient people. They have been false to their
pledges, faithless to the people and must h de
posed. Hon. Paniel Piatt, as chairman of Demo
cratic State convention, Albany, N. Y., Sept.
10, 1S0I.
All the Elments of a Tyrant.
If Lincoln should be elected, his tyranny, unre
strained by moral principle and unchecked by or
ganized resistance, will grow stronger from day
to day. Taxes will increase, tariffs will multiply
and military necessity become the law of the
land, Mr. Linaoln has all the elements that
make men tyrants. He ha3 low cunning, greedy
ambition and reckless associates. He Iia3 no re
straint of high-toned sentiments, He has Ion?
since silenced his conscience. To nnintaln his
power ho will rule with an Iron rod and the peo
ple will sink lower and lower Into an abject de
pendence. Itlchmond, Ind., Inquirer Oct. 7, 1801.
Monarchy Predicted.
Reflect but for a moment on tho aggravated
calamities of four j'cars more of war under the
administration of Abiaham Lincoln. Choose you
now what shall be the distlny of yourselves and
of your children after you. If these things con
tinue for four yens more the chances are nine
to ten that jour free government will be changed,
that instead of clectivn presidents converting
themselves into despots you will have hereditary
monarchs to rule over jou and your cbildien
to the third and fourth generation. How is jour
mode of ec-ape? In the success of the Demo
cratic party. Clement L. Vallandigham, in
speech at Sjdnej, O., Sept. 21, 18(14.
Greatest Tyrant in History.
If jou, by persisting in jour policy, should
cause this rule to be continued two jeais longer,
it will involve the nation in debt twice as much
as the value of all the taxable piopcrly; it will
bring over a million freemen to a bloody end;
it will cause crlpplis, widows and orphans to
become so numerous anil crime and violence and
blood and miserj will incre.no to such an extent,
and jour tjranny will become so great that
jour couils will rise up to defy you, and im
partial history will write you down .is the great
est tjTart that ever lived. Colonel Frank Wool
foid, of Kentuck.v, in a letter to President Lin
coln, July 30, 1804,
Question of Life or Death.
Follow Citizen.: It is not much that jour
countiy now asks of jou, but all that you hold
dear, all that you have and can hope to have
of liberty, of peace, of piosperity depends upon
jour giving to jour country what your country
now asks wisdom to see jour dutj-, courage to do

November, the death or life of the noblest repub

Chairman Democratic National Committee, Oct.
2, IStll,
Bevolutionary.
Itcsolvcd, Tint the administration of Am iham
Lincoln, by its usurpitions, its disregard of the
Constitution, its violation of personal libcity and
state rights, its resort to military power to sub
vert civil authority, its temporizing and covvaid
ly degradation of the nation in its foreign pollej',
its perversion of tho war from its original ob
ject and its avowed determination to prolong it
has lieiome rcvolutlonaiy in its character. Reso
lutions adopted by Democratic State Convention,
Albany, X. Y bept. 15, ISA).
Imperialism.
The miserable principle of centralisation, of
Iniperhll'in, lias been deeply implanted in the
hearts of the men who arc governing now. One

of personal rights. The people must protect
themselves and thdr country or they will bo
swept in the maelotroiu of ce-nti illzatlon and
nibitrary power with every vestige of liberty in
this countiy. Colonel Tilco, at New York, Oct.
10, 1S04.
Perpetual War.
Onu million of the very best joung men In tho
land have alicady left their bones on the battle
field or died in the hospital, or gone home to
drag out u miserable existence. A million jptiug
men upon whom we depend for tho encrgj-, vigor

A Keign of Terror.
When we all have been driven off or forced
into the armj- who do not submit to be stretched
on the Procrustean bed of abolition, there will
bo scenes like thosj enicted toward the close
of the French revolution, when the indignant
and starving masses turned upon their leaders
and put their necks upon the guillotine a ter
rible finale of blood and crime. Portland Argus,
October, lSol.
Liberty and Bight Trodden Down.
Under tho pretense of a military neccsitjv of a
war power higher than tho constitution, the con
stitution itself has been disregarded In every
part, and public liberty and private right alike
trodden down and the material jirosporlty of the
country essentially impaired. Democratic Na
tional Platform, 1S04.
Arbitrary Power.
Wo are passing through n crisis in the Lnitcd
States. The question whether man shall be al
lowed to govern himself or whether he shall be
governed by arbitrary powei, comes up befoie
jou and it depends upon j-ou whether the people
or whether tyrants shall govern. Profe-o-or W.
B. Wedgcvvood at New York, September, 104.
McClellan the Last Hope.
I look upon the election of McClellan as the
last hope for the restoration of the Union, an
honorable peace, and the security of personal
liberty, and this jou may publish to the world
as my views on the pending crisis. Ex-l'resldcnt
Millard Fillmore, in Indianapolis Sentinel, Oct,
5, 1804.
Farewell to Civil Liberty.
I cannot give j'ou any better argument why
jou should change this administration than to
say that if you prefer liberty to slavery, you
will change it and change it quickly, foi if Lin
coln is elected, farewell to civil liberty In the
United States. Ex-Governor WlckliiTc, of Ken
tucky, at New Yoik, Sept. P, 1S04.
Irretrievable Ruin.
Upon the lesult hangs the very destinies of our
land. Four years more of such administration
as we have had will work irretrievable ruin to
this great and glorious country of ours. C!ov.
Sej-mour, New York, Sept. 8, 1804.
Standing Army of Negro Janissaries.
In my deliberate opinion, if Mr. Lincoln is re
elected we shall have a military despotism fas
tened upon us and our children, with a stand
ing armj- of negro janissaries. Leslie Combs, of
Kentuckj.
No Further Use for Elections.
If bis rule only lasts four ycarsj more we shall
perhaps be spared the tioublc of elections alto
gether. Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, New London,
Conn., Oct., 18, 1861.
GRANT.
The Last Struggle.
This may be, nnd we think is, the last btiug
gle that will be made to preserve popular in
stitutions in the United States. If Crant is re
elected the iron heel of despotism will not only
bo continued upon the south, but will be en
forced upon tho north and west, as well, The
power of patronage and money, the stealings
through the national treasury, may be ko
great as to re-ciett Grant now and as often there
after as he might conclude until the ollleo be
comes xirtually for life, and Irm that it is ca-j-to
have a hereditary successor. Cincinnati En

A Subjugated and Conquored People.
The Republican party, instead of resisting the
Union, has so hi as in its power, dissolved
