1 t.i.ow Dsmocrats, Al.i With the insplring
ffcralns of that national song etlll ringing in
ear ear, who tan doebt the issue of thia oam
palimt StrlppeS of all verbal dbwetss, It la aa
to of common honesty, an Issue between
las boneet dtwobarre and the dishonest repu
diation of public and private obligation. It la
a question aa to whether aha power of thl
ovararaeut snail b need sopsuteotboneet In
dustry or to tempt the eitisen to dishonesty.
On this question honest snep oannot differ. It
Is ene of moral and ef Justice. It involve the
extstsnc of social order. It la the contest for
eivlllaation Itself. A Demoorntle eonveatlon
maa- renounce Demooratlo faith, but the De-
sttonraoy remain faithful to Democratic pria
etplet. ' Densooratia leader may betray a eon
ventiAn to the Popolissa, but they cannot as
duo She footsteps of Demeerasto Votera from
lbs fhwmy of honor and of Inetloe. A Candi
da tearing the mandate of a Demooratlo eon
veutMl may la this hall open a canvass level
ed avamst the foundations of social order, and
he behold the Demooratlo masses confronting
aim oaa&nlaed for the defense. Fellow Dem
ocrat) let us not disguise from ourSHlvee the
fact thdt w bear in tot oontsst a serious and
grave aid solemn burden of duty. Ws muni
raise fur hands against the nominee ef our
party, aaa wa muss no it to preserve the ru
ture of that party itself. We must oppose ths
nomine of th Chloavo convention, and w
feaovarfull well that tatocese of our opposl-
tion will mean our owa exolusion from public
life, but era win be consoled and gratified by
th ledeetloa that It will prove that the Amer
ind people oasaiot be divided into parties on
a aasstloa of slmpl morals or of common
honesty. . We would look In vain through ths
- ep ear. delivered here one week ago to tnd a
true statement of the issue involved In thia
sanvae Indeed, I believe it Is doubtful If the
aandldate himself quite understand the na
ture of the faith which be prof esses. I say thia

which, like the gold rolnntre of this conn try,

It n perfectly clear that the purpose of the
Popollflt te to put bp the prlrea of eertntn
com motll ties. Mr. Bryan's language la that he
is going to Improve the condition of the peo
ple of this country. I do not fmpooee be claims
he ran multiply the number of chairs npon
thin platform or npon this floor, although he
has hown his capacity to empty them. If he
la going to work any change In the conditions
of men. he gnuat Inoreaaa the material poaece-
eion of some part of the community. Mow, If
he got pomtwiion of the govern moot tomor
row, be could' not create one single thing of
value by any exercise of governmental power
la the world. Wo power ever yet exnrctHed by
tyrant or by ornistltutional monarch can oauso

rSarVraaa4e Caaaat JW Oaaeraaa. .
If Mr. Brysn ts going to enrich somebody,
the thing whioh he means to bestow oa him he
mast take (ma snmcbedy else. Who is to be
deenolled. and who is to be enriched by the ex
ertnaeof this new scheme of government? Vov
erntnent never tan be ganerouis beraue if It
be generons to one It must be oppressive to
another But bla financial scheme onntom
plates an Increase In the price of enrtatn eom
snoditlea. Wa are eom in g now pewtty oloee to
th woodpile behind which th African la con
cealed. Mow. if everthlng In this world or tn
this oountry, Inolnding labor be increased tn
value tomorrow In like proportion, not one of
us would be effected at all. If everything be
Increased 10 per oent In value, wa would pay
10 per cent tn addition for what we would buy
and get M per oent more for what we would
sell and we would be exactly in the sarnu
plaoa we occupied before. Therefore It Is fair
to assume that In not the lame and Impotent
conclusion which thia Populist revolution con
templates. rVhat. then, la ttt It la an Increase
In the price of commodities and allowing labor
to shift for itself. If the price of commodities
be Increased and the prion of labor be left sta
tionary, why, that meana a cutting down of
the rate of wages. If instead of a dollar which
Consists of a given quantity of gold equal tc
100 cents anywhere In the world, with the pur
chasing power of 100 oente, the laborer Is to
be nttld in dollars worth ou oente eaon, wny,
he oaa enly buy half aa mauh with a aay'i
waves as be baya now.
Wage earn era, Mr. Bryaa says, know that
while a gold standard raises the purchasing
power of the aoiiar it aiso maa-ea it more aim
cult to obtain possession of that dollar. They
know that employment ts less permanent, loss
of work more probable and re-employment
less certain If thst means anything, tt means
that a cheap dollar would give him more em
ployment, more frequent employment, more
work and a chance to gnt re-enipjoynient after
ke was dischsr jrd. If that means anything, it
meana that If vhe laborer la willing to have
bla wagea cut down he will get more work.
But a diminution tn the rate of wages does
not taorease the scope of employment. The
more abundant the product the higher the
wagea. There oannot be an abundant product
an leas labor is extensively employed. Mr. Bry
aa would have yon believe that prosperity is
advanced by cheapening the rata of wagea, but
the fall la the rate of wagea always comes
from a narrow production, and narrow pro
duction means there la little demand for labor
tn the market. When, after the panic of 1878,
the price of labor fell to 00 cent a day. It wan
harder ta-obtaia labor than when th rate of
labor was IX, and the difference between the
Populist who seeks to cut down the rat of
wages and the Democrat whs seeks to protect
It la that th Democrat believes that high
wages aad prosperity are synonymous, and
the Populist wants to cut the rate of wagea In
order that he may tempt the farmer to make
war npon his own workingmen.
Baya Ho la' After th Creditor.
Mr. Bryan leads the van In saying that It la
the creditor ha is after. In order that you
shovld understand Just how a change In the
standard of valne enables man to cheat their
creditors yon have to consider the function
whioh money plays tn measuring debts If 1
had paid f 10 for tea yards of cloth to bs de
livered to me next week and In the Interim
the government should pass a law declaring
that hereaftttr the yard measure should con
sist of 18 inches and that all existing aotttraots
should bo settled tn that system of measure,
I would be cheated out of half th cloth for
which I kad paid. If. oa the other band, 1
owed a cloth merchant for ten yards of oloth,
which he had delivered to me and which was
payable next week, and la the meantime the
government should change tb standard ol
value and cut down the unit of coinage one
half, then I would settle that debt with sfi, and
the cloth merchant would have been cheated.
Now, the Populist loves to my that the cred
itor Is S person who oppresses the weetern
farmer. The creditors of this country are not
the bankers ; they arc not the ao called ea pi tar
ts ts ; by are the laborers, and It ts at the ex
pense of labor that this charge ts made. Ths
laborer la always a creditor for at least one
day 's work. When soy man out show ma a la
borer who has been paid in advance for a
day's work. I will abow him a laborer who la
a debtor. The laborer, by ths very law of his
being, must be a creditor for at least one day's
work and is generally a creditor for a week's
work or two weeks' work. Every great Indus
trial enterprise has for Ua eb.ef creditors Its
owa laborers. Ths hear lew t account la every
denarteneat of Industry, whatever It may lie. Is
always the wages account.
- Tit protease that the fanner of Nebraska to
suffering under tke weight bf a mortgage oosr
tracted under a metal which has steadily in
creased la vain Is bat a Populist metaphor.
Two-thirds of the farmers have ao mortgage
debts whatever. 1 do not believe there ts I per
seut of them that owe a mortgage over three
years old, during which to mm there has baea
ao eaaage In th Value of the metal. Thia pro
posal of th PopuHHte Is aa Intent to enll-t th
farmer la a auaaplraey to redaoe the wages
paid to labor, that h may have a larger pro
portion of his own product, and they ar
willing to oat down ths wages of avery maa
who works la cities, who toils at the bench,
who digs la tba mines, who manages th train,
tn th hop that thsy oaa rtde into power oa t
wav of cupidity aad greed awakened la th
breast ef tb voter. But, my friends, It ts a
triumphant vindication f .Atuertcaa eltisen
ship that this attempt to auilat th farming
aad agricultural members of this community
into this aoaapiracy has failed miserably, at
tetiy, abeulnsaly.
Mea of Mew York, toilers of America, guard
ieae f yor wa homes, will yom allow your
rat of wagsa to bs sffected by any maa wh

of Itf Will you submit to this souapieaoy be

Moot mt tba Bvtl,
Bars is ths real root of this conspiracy. Mr.
Bryaa did not create ft. No man saa areate a
movement like this. Th foroee that created
tt era aotlv and have beea working in 1.UU0
divergent directions. Mr. Bryan, repreaeuting
tbls theury, la but like a drop of water oa the
arast of h wave, nor orjcuapiououa, but no
more important than the mtllious of drops
that form Its base. The Populist movnent is
the attempt of the profeitaUinal faruasa, of
thea saea wh ar anwilimg to ubnru with
tb laborer, te appeal to tiiuir greed. He ts aa
enemy of pubile order, he is an obstacle to
progreaa. He la a eoauaplmtor airainat the peace
and prosperity of tb industrial masses of ths
oountry,
I have said that th laborer is the object of
this oonspiraoy, and he is. But let ao man iiu
airine that if they ar suaoeuaful th iuiury
wouid all be born by Uh maa who works
with his bead, lie would be the Wt to suffer
and th laat to recover from its elf eot. But
th shoes: to olvlliaaikjn which would sumo
from sua s breaoh uf public aad private faith
wuiUd We ..'feera-sl-t. it t&ffyot ao a ovvld
measorn frot an experience of the human
race. Ws cannot tell to what degree It would ;
paralyse Intlu'jfy. If I were eked to define
mvillRatlon, I xnould my It was "lndnntrlal
eooperstlon." Everything that s man does for
his own benefit acts directly upon the inter
eats of his neighbors. No man can stand slnne
In a civilised community. Bis interests, his
prospects, his fortunes are to some extent
shared by his fellows. There ts not an ear of
corn ripening In the weetern field that does
not affect the price of bread to you and to me.
The farmer who scatters seed upon the ground
by that acts starts Into motion the wheels of
the factory i he sharpens ths tools of the car
penter; he stimulates the construction of rail
roads; he causes the engineers to plan new
briil net crossing currents, new tunnels under
river, new canals Joining oceans and sepa
rating continents. If the farmer did not work.
If the minor did not dig tn the subterranean
gallery, every other department of Industry
would languish, for men would not produce
and create if they did not see In the Industry
and activity of others a prospect of a demand
for the commodity which they produce, and
so every man In ths world is bound closely to
the destiny and Interests of his fellow man.
Underlying the whole scheme of civilisation
Is the confidence men have in each other, con
fidence In their honesty, confidence In their
Integrity, confidence tn their Industry, confi
dence In their future. If we want silver coin
age tomorrow, if we even debase our standard
of value, men any that still yon would have
the Same property you have today, you would
still have ths same soil, you would still have
the same continent. And it is true. But so did
the Indian have the same rivers that roll past
our cities and tarn the wheels of com me roe as
they pass. Bo the mountains, piled full of min
eral treasures, 400 years ago. j
MA Pathway of Destruction." '
The same atmosphere enwrapped this oontl 1
cent, the same soil covered the fields, ths
saais sun shone In heaven, and yet there was
none bnt the aavage pursuing the pathway ol
war through the trackless forests, and the
river bore no single living thing except the
Indian tn his canoe, pursuing a pathway of de
struction. There was no industrial co-operation,
becanne the Indian was a savage snd did
not understand ths principles by whioh men
aid such other In taking from ths bosom of the
earth the wealth which makes life bearable
aad develops the intelligent which makes
Civilisation. Anything that attacks that basts
sf human oonndtmoe Is a Time against civi
lisation and a blow sgalnst the foundations of
social order.
We believe that the very essence of civilisa
tion hi mutual tnterost, mutual fbrbsaraaoe,
mutual co-operation. We believe the work has
got past tb time when men's hands are at
each other's throat. We bellev today that
men stand shoulder to shoulder working to
gether for a common purpose, beneficial to all,
and w bellev that this attempt to assail
wagea, which means an attempt to attack the
prosperity of all, will be restnted not by a
elass, but by the whole nation. What labor has
gained, that shsll It keep. The rate of warma
that to paid to H today ts the lowest rate we
will ever willingly accept. We look forward to
a further and further increase In the prosper
ity of workingmen, not merely by an Increase
tn the dally wage, but by a further in ore nee
In the purchasing power of wages. Men who
tell ns that the prices of farm products bars
fallen and that the farmer for that reason Is
a sufferer forget that while the price of wages
baa risen off the farm the efficiency of labor
has increased; that the cost of production has
been reduced through the aid of machinery
while the wages of ths Individual laborer may
have risen. While wages remain at their pres
ent rate I hope there will be a further and
further and continuous decrease tn the ooat of
living. There is no wsy la whtoh I can be ad
mitted to a share of God's bounty except
through a fall in ths prloes of ths necessaries
ex We.
"Tke Grown of Thorns."
While wa have tn existence a system of
mutual oo-operatton, whtoh ts but another
name for civilised society, all men are admit
ted to a share In every bounty which provt-
dtno showers upon tb earth. The dweller In
the tenement bouse, stooping over his benah,
who never sees a field of waving corn, who
has never Inhaled the perfume of grasses and
of flowers. Is yet made ths participator In all
the bounties of providence In the purifying
influence of the atmosphere, in the ripening
rays of the sun, when the product of the soil
ts made cheaper to him every day by the
abundance of the harvest. It ts from his share
tn this bountr that the Populist wants to ex
clude the American workingmen. To him we
say. In the name of humanity, tn the nSme of
progress, you shall neither press a orewn ot
thorns upon the brow of labor nor press a
scourge upon his back. You shall not rob him
of sny one advantage which he has gained by
long years of study, of progress In the skill of
his craft and by th careful organisation of
ths members who work with him at the same
bench. You shall not obscure th golden pros
pects of a further Improvement In bis condi
tion by a further cheapening of the cost of
living as well as by a further depreciation of
th dollar whtoh Is paid to htm. Ths man who
raise his hand against the progress of the
worklngman raises his hand against prosper!
ty. He seeks to restrict ths volume of produc
tion. Be seeks to degrade the condition of the
man who Is steadily improving himself and
In hts own Improvement is accomplishing th
Improvement of all mankind, bat this attempt
will fall.
I do not regret this campaign. Ths tims baa
oom when the people of tbls country will
show their capacity for self government. They
will prove that th men who have left the
world tn the pathway of progress will bs th
Jealous guardians of liberty and of order.

GAIL HAMILTON DEAD, ',

Tha Wall Knawa Write Paisse Away at

HAMnTON, Maa., Ang. 18. Mlaa Mary
Abigail Dodge (Gall Hamilton) la dead.
The oausa of her death was a paralytio
shook. Thia waa the aeoond shock from
waioh she had saftetnd, the first having
ooourred about a year ago, and from whioh
she had apparently fully reooverad. -
Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, writer, biog
rapher and oontroreralaltst, widely known
nndor the pen nam of Gall Hamilton, was
a native ot the town In whioh aha died,
having been born here In 1890.
In 186d-7 she was one of the editors of
Our Young yolks, a magazine for chil
dren, pubHabed In Boston. From 1H70 un
til a little over a year ago ihe had lived
most of tba time with bar oooalo, Mrs.
Jamea G. Blaine, in Washington. In
uourae of thl dally eontaot with tba
Blaine family Mlaa Hamilton waa led into
a very oloee friendship with Mr. Blaine,
and at the death of the latter aha became
bis literary exeoutor, being In possession
uf all hi paper and dooument of value
to her as bis authorized biographer. Bhe
waa engaged, as frequently as ber health
would permit, on Mr. Blaine's biography
from the time of his death until her 111
nw of last year, and, It 1 thought, ber un
tiring devotion to ihe work wa Instru
mental In bringing about that prostra

MR. BRYAN'S INCOME.
SAYS HE NEVER RECEIVED MONEY
FROM MINEOWNER8.
Aa Unequivocal lenlal af Senator Tauv
toa Alleged Olisvge Challenge te the
Republican national Committee gay
B 1 Prepared to Furnish Proof,
TTppkr Run Hook. N. Y., Ang. 19.
William Jennings Bryan, for the first time
rlnoe Benntnr John M. Thurston, as al
leged, declared him in the employ of mine
owners, made an official denial, coupled
with a ohallenge to the national Repub
lican oommlttee to oome out In the open
and aoouae him or forever be silent. Mr.
Bryan's attention had been oalled to the
controversy between Senators Thurston
and Stewart, and he determined to settle
the matter If possible. He therefore de
mands an open oharge, whioh he says he
will refute with details of bis private life
and his financial affairs or silence. He
said :
"I have already denied this oharge on
several occasions, but the reiteration of It
by Senator Thurston, a distinguished res
ident of my own state, justifies me In an
swering It again. I bave never at any time
or under any circumstanoes been In tba
employ of any mlneowners, individually
or ooueotiveiy, aireotiy or Indirectly, nor
have I ever been In the employ of or paid
by any blmetalllo lengne association.
Aside from my editorial salary of about
1150 per month paid by the Omnha World
Hernld and a small amount derived from
the legal profession, my Income slnoe my
retirement from congress has been derived
entirely from lectures before Cbautnuquas,
lyoenm and lecture bureaus, which have
usually paid me a fixed sum, and from con
tributions made by tbe people of the local
ities where I have spoken. In some In
stance I hav received nothing at all. In
most cases I have received monythan
enough to pay traveling expenses. In only
two Instanoes, 1 think, has my compensa
tion exoeeded 1100, and thorn Instances It
was about 1800 at onoe place and about 1800
at the other. The first platform on whioh
I ran for congress. In 1890, before I was
known politically outside of my state, con
tained a free coinage plank, and my Repub
lican opponent that year was an advocate
of free oolnage.
"In the campaign of 1693 I again ran
on a free oolnnge platform. In 189 I
again ran on a free oolnage platform, and
my opponent for the senate, Mr. Thurston,
while opposing unlimited coinage at 10 to
1, Insisted that be favored bimetallism.
I wrote the free oolnage plank on whioh I
ran In 1H90 and the free oolnage planks
In the Nebraska state platform In 1891,
1894 and 1896 and tried to seoure the
adoption of free coinage planks In the state
platform In 1899 and 1898. I only men
tion this to show that my advocacy of free
silver Is not of recent date. Having made
this answer to Mr. Thurston's letter, I shall
hereafter take no notice of Individual or
newspaper oomment on this subject. If
the Ropublloan national oommlttee will
say officially that I have ever been employ
ed to deliver speeches by any mlneown-
er, a group ot mlneowners or by any as
sociation supported by mlneowners, I am
ready to make a special showing in detail
of all raoneyareoelved by me for speech
making." Great Los by Fire la Pari.

Free Silver Paradoxes.
In his speech at Pittsburg, Mr.
Bryan said : "The free and unlimited
coinage of silver means this that
if you owe a debt you can go out in
to the market and buy silver and
have it coined and use that silver to
pay your debt as you can now do
with gold. ' The value or this pri
vilege to wage-earners, whoso only
debts are apt to be to the landlord
or the grocer, was not explained,
Hut in the same short speech Mr.
Bryan met the objection that it
would not be fair to permit the own
er of 60 cents' worth of silver to
take it to the mint and have it
stamped as $1 and make the differ-
onoe. His answer to this waa that
under free coinage an ounce of sil
ver would be worth $1.29, and he
asked : "Who is going to sell silver
for less than he can get for it
coined?" Whereat there was "great
applause."
Hut If nobody will sell silver for
less than its coinage value, how is
the man who "owes a debt" to go
out into the market and buy silver
and have it coined and use it to pay
hia debt" saving as the Populist
debt-sealers hope, and as the first
part of Mr. Bryan's argument
seemed to imply, 47 per cent of his
Indebtedness t
The paradoxes of protection are
sufficiently striking, but is any of
thorn more selt-destructivo, than is
this end-on collision of the free ml
ver argument? New York World

A a Election Motto for Working Men.
'We don't want any 53 cent dol
lars in this town 1
The voioe that thus greeted the
Bryan procession as it made it way
through Huntingdon, fa... gave ut
ters noe to an undying truth.
The sentiment was true in Hunt
ingdon and it is true in New York.
We don't want any 53 cent dollars
in this town to pay to our police
men, our nremen, our atreet clean
ers, our laborers on the publio works
of the city, our wage earners of all
kinds and conditions.
The sort of dollar that the city of
New York wants for its working
men is the 100 oent dollar.
William Jennings Bryan and his
supporters, on the other hand, pro
pom to pay waves in a cheapened
dollar, a dollar with 47 cents of its
value clipped off.
"Of all the people interested In
silver," says Bland, of Missouri,
"the agricultural people and the
laboring people are the ones who
have the mwt at sake.
And he should have added that
they are the ones who will suffer
luottt if free silver shall prevail.
"We don't wont any 53 cent dol
lars in this town" is an excellent
election motto for every New York
man who does not want to see his
earnings diminished by the success
of the r Too buventes.

Greeley's Opinion.
One day a minister called on Hor
ace Greeley to get a subscription for
a temperance society. Greeley paid
little attention to him. The minis
tor kept insisting that he would
speak to him. Finding the usual
way fruitless, he said, in a some
what loud tone : "Mr. Greeley, I
want to get a subscription from you
for this society to prevent people
from going to hell." "Clear out,"
said Greeley, "I will not give you a
cent. There are not half enough
people going to hell now."
