A SOUND MONEY DEMOCRAT.
In discussing the present political
situation an anti-Bryan-Guffey Demo
crat said: "No selfish pursuit of per
sonal comfort called the gold Demo
crats to Indianapolis in September,
1896, and there moved them to nomi
nate Palmer and Buckner. That third
ticket was nominated at a sacrifice. It
cost time and labor and money. They
were not cranks and visionaries, the
men of that convention. They were
practical men, and they had sound
political and moral reasons for their
action. Among the chiefs of the Re
publicans and the gold Democrats the
opinion prevailed that the nomination
of a third ticket was advisable and nec
essary as a means to make sure the
defeat of W. J. Bryan. It was thought
that in certain doubtful states a sound
money Democratic ticket would get
votes that would otherwise goto Bryan
and might elect him. In the panic of
fear that seized upon the managers in
the month of August this consideration
was held to be Important. But that
wave of apprehension had an unfore
seen effect. It swept so many gold
Democrats straight into the Republi
can camp that the election of McKinley
and Hobart was assured without the
assistance of the third ticket. But that
fortunate condition became evident
muoh later.
"It was only deemed a necessity that
somewhere in the United States a flag
be raised in the sight of all the people
bearing the word gold. Bryan's plat
form was an unspeakable abomination.
The Indianapolis Democrats ran the
gold standard flag to the masthead and
nailed it there. They have never re
gretted it. The people, misled by
years of preaching about the double
standard, had to be set right. They
are now familiar with the facts and
they recognize that there is but one
thing to do this year, and that Is to
support the McKinley ticket in the
presidential contest and to elect Re
publicans in every district, so as to
emphasize the feeling of disgust with
the present management of the Demo
cratic party.
"Guffey working Bryanism in the
national campaign and fusion in the
state contest is not deceiving anybody.
The sound money Democrats propose
to make the net result for the Demo
cratic party in Pennsylvania this fall
so small that Guffeylsm and Bryanism
will be rebuked and the 16 to 1 radicals
will be driven from control of the
Democratic organization in the Key
stone state.
BRYANISM IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
Congressman James Rankin Young,
of Philadelphia, the well known
Washington correspondent, appreci
ates the fact that the Republican
party 1b going to get the benefit of the
support of many former Democrats,
but In this campaign sound money Mc-
Kinley men.
"The Republican party is opposed in
the pending campaign, not by the
old time Democratic party, as it used
to be in former campaigns," he says,
"but by all the rag-tag and bobtail of
discontented and dissatisfied human
ity. These masquerade under the var
ious names of Silverites, Populists and
Socialists.
The old Democratic party has passed
from existence for the time being and
the worst element has become affiliated
with the various parties enumerated
above. They are all summed up under
the one name of Bryan or Bryanism.
When the latter is mentioned every
voter understands that it represents
the forces of discontent in all parts of
the Union.
"The sound money Democrats of four
years ago are now for McKinley.
"In 1986 these forces made their ex
istence felt in a most unmistakable
manner. But the attempt of the un
holy combination to lower the stand
ard of honesty in governmental af
fairs was frustrated. They have now
returned to the fight with vigor worthy
of a better cause. Whether or not the
nation should adopt 50 cent dollars In
payment of its obligations or retain
its reputation for paying 100 cents for
every dollar due, was the burning Is
sue four years ago, and the same co
horts which assembled under the ban
ner of 16 to 1 have once again re
sponded to the call for a depreciated
currency.
"This time large numbers of the
Bryan aggregation seek to becloud the
issue and to make another topic the
paramount subject for discussion, but
there is no voter in the land, however
ignorant, nor however willing he may
be to be blinded, who can recognizg
In Bryan or Bryanism anything but
16 to 1.
"In the discussion of all questions
the press and the public may well drop
the terms Populists, Silverites and
Democrats and combine them all under
the one comprehensive name of Bryan.
Henceforth during the campaign which
Is just opening the forces of Republi
canism are opposed to and are fight
ing, not against Democracy, but
against Bryanism, the synonym of all
that stands for a debased currency and
retrogression in the affairs of the na
tion. It is not difficult to decide which
the voters will choose."
STATE SHARES IN PROSPERITY.
Philadelphia Republicans were de
lighted to read a local announcement
this week that a vessel had been char
tered to Bail from this port with a
cargo of four thousand tons of Pennsyl
vania coal for Eoalu>*.
Ten years ago the Idea that British
railways and factories would become
dependent in even a partial degree
upon coal supplies from this side of the
Atlantic would have have been re
ceived with derisive incredulity in the
United Kingdom. But in this case, as
in many others, the unexpected has
happened, and the forthcoming ship
ment of coal from Philadelphia to Eng
land promises to mark the beginning
of a new era in the development and
transportation of the world's coal sup
ply.
Not only in Great Britain, but in some
continental countries, many coal veins
are either becoming exhausted or their
working has grown unprofitable, owing
to the great depth to which they have
been followed. Modern Industry has
an inexhaustible appetite for the black
fuel from the bowels of the earth, and
the European magazines of coal are
showing distinct signs of impoverish
ment.
The United States already supplies
the countries of Europe with a large
proportion of their bread and meat. It
does not seem unlikely that the next
few years will see this country also act
ing as a producer of coal in large quan
tities for foreign consumption. For
tunately our own resources in this di
rection are practically limitless, and
Pennsylvania has the finest facilities
of all the states for taking a prom
inent part in this movement.
All these conditions may fairly be
attributed to the wise and statesman
like policy that has been pursued by
the leaders of the Republican party in
national affairs. McKinley prosperity
seems to pervade every section of the
United States, and fresh evidence
comes almost daily of the determina
tion of the American people to continue
the Republican party in power. The
coming election will show how appre
ciative the people are of the efforts of
the Republican party to advance the
commercial interests of the nation.
Harrisburg, July 24.—The announce
ment came a few days ago that Col.
William Jennings Bryan had insisted
upon the appointment of Col. James
M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, as a mem
ber of the executive committee of thp
Democratic national committee. While
this Intelligence to the outside world
would not be calculated to cause more
than passing comment to Pennsylva
nia Democrats, and Republicans as
well, this selection Is particularly sig
nificant. Col. Guffey, as one of the
chief advisers and manipulators in the
Democratic national campaign, will be
looked upon with interest and curiosity
as the prime mover in Pennsylvania in
the great fusion movement for the cap
ture of the legislature of the Keystone
state from the Republican organization
and the possible election of Col. Guffey
himself as a fusion candidate for Uni
ted States senator.
While Col. Gufffey, as a member of
Bryan's Democratic national commit
tee's executive committee, will be ap
pealing throughout the national cam
paign to Democrats to stand by the
Bryan ticket, in the hope of capturing
the presidency, he will in Pennsylva
nia be the leading figure among those
Democrats and insurgent politicians
who will, under the guise of reform,
seek to lead Republicans from their
party organization to help elect fu
sion members of the legislature. The
insurgents under the lead of Martin, of
Philadelphia, and Flinn, of Pittsburg,
will work hand In hand with Guffey in
the legislative fight. Guffey will wisely
take advantage of the opportunity to
elect Democrats, where, with the Re
publican party united, there would not
be any chance for a Democrat togo to
Harrisburg. Besides aiding In making
strife in the Republican party, Guffey
sees a chance to elect Democrats to
congress, where otherwise there would
be not the slightest show for the defeat
of the regular Republican nominees.
While Col. Guffey will be entreating
Republicans in Pennsylvania to desert
their party candidates and support the
fusion tickets for the legislature, he
will find that he will be without the
votes of the sound money Democrats,
who are openly declaring their pur
pose to vote for President McKinley
and the whole Republican ticket this
fall. Pennsylvania is furnishing her
full share of this former Democratic
vote which will continue to be cast
with the Republican party as long as
the Democracy stands for the 16 to 1
idea on the financial issue.
AGAINST 16 TO 1.
Every county in the Keystone state
has its due proportion of former Dem
ocrats who will not vote the Bryan
ticket this year and who will not be led
by Guffey or anybody else in touch
with the Bryan campaign into voting
the fusion tickets for the legislature.
They are for stralghtout Republicanism
and all that implies, and they will be
among the most ardent opponents of
fusion. They want to see a full dele
gation sent to congress to thwart the
Democratic plans on the silver issue,
and they, know that the only way to ac
complish this Is to make the Republi
can organization in this state as strong
as possible.
Pennsylvania is relied upon by the
advocates of the gold standard to send
almost a solid delegation to congress.
A Democratic house, even though Mc-
Kinley would be elected, would em
barrass the Republican administration
in many respects.
It is, therefore, Important that a solid
front should be presented to the com
mon enemy. With the Republican
party, aided by the sound money and
rational element of the old Democ
racy, standing side by stfe in the com
ing campaign there will we no occasion
to regret the result of the coming elec
tion in the Keystone state.
Some little Interest is taken in the
coming meeting in Indianapolis, where
it Is proposed to discuss the advisabil
ity of nominating a third presidential
ticket; that is, a ticket which sound
money Democrats might support.
But the feeling is so intense against
the action of the Bryan Democracy at
Kansas City in Interjecting the 16 to 1
plank in the platform that the men
who were the leaders of the third par
ty movement four years ago in the
Democratic party are now advocating
the support of the Republican ticket
from top to bottom In order to wipe
Bryanism from the face of the earth.
