If Wm. J. Bryan Wants To Discuss The

silver question why not tackle Cari Schurz? He would relish it. X the silverites please explain why Senator Teller, Senator Stewart, Mr. Altgeld, Gov. Pennoyer, and other emorrnously wealthy leaders of the free eoinage movewent each and everyene of them require all their contracts to be made payable iu gold? Not all free silveritos are anarchists, but all anarchists are free silverites. Toril Watson says tbat Sewall, liis political twin, is a wart. ïom evidently doesn't like bis brother. Candidate Bryan is making another brass uaud tour of the country. If the people don't all see bim and bear biin talk it will be no fault of liis. The anscupulous attempt on tbe part of tbe silverite press to array different classes of people against each otber is astonisbing. Tbe venom is only equaled by tbat of tbe lire eater in 1861, and is quite as dangerous to tbe nation. Combination or fusión by politica] parties bas always worked disastrously in tliis county. It remains to be seen whetber tbe two little tails can wag tbe democratie dog in tbis county now or not. Several democrats have said tbat tbey could not swallow the pops. Tbat was to much. Mr. Bryan, in his elegant Labor Day speech at Chicago said that "one of tbe functions of government was to put rings in the noses of hogs." A beautiful conception ; but how about opening up the milis of tliis country to tbe American laborer? Not a word. He is all free silver and notbing else. He is a monometal maniac. This is true : Nearly every business man of the nation is arrayed upon the sound mouey side of this financial . tiofi. Every street corner loafer, who will not work, but who allows some noble, industrious, true woman to earn his livelihood, is upon the silver side of this question. Look about you and see if this is not true. Count them up right in your own town. Dou't take auyoue's word for it. Now which is the safest class with which to entrust the affairs of this nation ? The best plan that suggests itself to my mind is that we should go back to the teachings of our fathers, and that we should restore the old discriminatiug duties ; that we should impose a tax of 10 per cent. ad valorem, in addition to whatever tax is imposed by law, on all goods, wares and merchandise iniported ints the United States in vessels not of the United States. It seems to me that this would settle the question upon the best possible basis and in time revive and restore our shipping. - Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, U. S. Senator, of West Virginia. "Coin" Harvey had occasion to draw $2,000 from a Chicago bank the other day, and he demanded and received it all iu gold. This gold he took to a safety deposit vault and left. What does Harvey means? Just this. He is preparing for free silver coinage, and to save himself from its evil consequences. He is willing to bring ruin and destruction to others, but proposes to make a nice thing for himseif. He is on a par with Altgeld, Stewart and the other who demand gold reuts and gold interest. What a wickek farce this is getting to be. _____m, Mr. Bryan again calis attention to the statement made by himself that he only wants one term as president. The attention of Mr. Bryan is called to a similar emphatic statement by one Grover Cleveland when he was flrst candidate, and also to a similar statement made by one Benj. Harrison when he was first a candidate. Mr. Bryan is human just as these men are, and is possessed of no more stamina than are they. The one term cry is a weak attempt to get votes, and has no weight. The recent election in Arkansas was a womlerful thing for a free country. It has been shown by indisputable evideuce, tliat in several counties there was a greater majority returned than there were votes in the county. In several counties the republicans remained away from the polls entirely, because they were afraid that their votes I would be couDted against them by tlie villains who composed the election boards. But it made no difference, there was a greater majority returned for the democrats than there were people voting, and they were all counted as voting the democrat ticket whether they went near the polls or not. The law says that both parties shall be represented on the election board, but in hundreds of precincts the law was ignored, and no one placed on the board who would not act as directed by the democratie bosses. Such an election is not only a farce, but a disgrace to this nation, and Chairman Jones will not have the cheek to deny it, either.
