THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1890. A TELL TALE TINTYPE WANT THE EXCISE MONEY. CARL SCHURZ ON REPUDIATION. TWO REPORTS FROM MISSOURI QUAY'S TOWNSMEN AT CANTON, Delegation From Beaver, Addressed by Major McKinley. BRYAN ARREVES ATM1LWAUKEE.

He Makes Three Speeches on the Trip From Chicago. Mr. Bryan's mere election would causo, even before his inauguration. Every sensible person, I trust, will now admit that freo silver coinage in tho United States alone will make bimetallism, tho equal use of both gold and silver as money, utterly Impossible, hero as well as abroad. It will confirm Eurojio in gold monometallism, and condomn us to silver monometallism tho exclusive uso of Bllver as money and of paper based upon silver.

No doubt this is what the silver men are really aiming at. High prices are a two edged sword handy to tho seller, but unpleasant to the buyer. They press, of course, hardest upon those who aro compelled to buy most in proportion to their income or their earnings. And who are they? Tho poor people. What a rich family spends upon the actual necessaries of lite.

A CROWD OF 1,800 AT RACINE. Waukegan and Kenosha Citizens Also Listen to Brief Addresses by tho Presidential Candidate He Advises AH to Decide for Thbmselves and Then "Vote as They Think Anarchy and Trusts. Allusions to Mllwrniw i. minute speeches and hundreds of handclaps, with tome enthusiasm manifested by the crowds, constituted the inclden attending the trip of Candidate Hry.ni from Chicago to (M this city this morning, he were short steps at "Waukegan, Kenosha and Racine, and the nominee spoice to crowds of nunareds at eacn place. The party left Chicago at 8:46 and arrived here at On board were Mr.

C. Wall, F. W. Von Julius Schuendel and P. J.

Somers. At Kenosha a reception comrr.tUee of ity live from this city, headed by W. H. Rogers, boarded the train. At the depot at C'dcao there were less than a hundred to see Mr.

Bryan off and a small sized cheer went up as the train pulled out. The first stop was made at Waukegan, where about 700 people gathered about the car and demanded a speech from Mr. Bryan. He was introduced by the chairman of the Democratic central committee as the next Democratic petition will be presented at the regular meet President of the United States. Mr.

Bryan lng of the board of trustees next Monday To Be Made tho Basis of Divorce Proceedings. Nellie Rump, tho pretty 17 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rump, of Flatlands, was secretly married six weeks ago, to Edward C. Abrams, who is about her own age.

Yesterday tho young wife appeared before Justice Steers in tho Flatbush police court and declared that her husband had cruelly beaten her. "After tho assault," said Mrs. Abrama on tho witness stand, "which occurred on August 31, he deserted me and has refused to do anything toward my support." Mrs. Abrams made frequent use of her handkerchief to wipe away the tears and she had the sympathy of overybc dy in tho court room, including the magistrate, who looked sternly at tho husband. "Well, sir, what have you got to say for yourself?" demanded his honor, as the defendant took the stand.

"A great deal," replied Abrams very promptly. As the young man spoke he pulled from an inside coat pocket a tintype picture and handed It to tho magistrate. The judge looked at It and said rather Impatiently: "Well, what has this got to do with the case?" "Why," replied tho young man. with a pale face, "that picture tells tho whole story." Judge Steers remarked: "That woman looks like your wifo. There is a' man sitting on her lap, but It Isn't a good likeness of you." "No, it isn't mo," said Abrams.

"Well, them, who is it?" asked the magistrate. "It's her second cousin!" shouted Abrams. "Was the picture taken before or after?" inquired tho judge in a business like voice. Abrams didn't quite catch the drift of his honor's question. "I mean," repeated the magistrate gravely, "whether this picture was taken before or after the marriage between you and the complainant." "Oh, after, of course," said the young man, gritting his teeth, "else I wouldn't bo here charged with assault." Mrs.

Abrams, who bad dried her tears, didn't seem to be much affected by the damaging evidence of the tintype. She smilingly admitted that it was a picture of herself and her couBln, taken after her marriage. "There is no harm in it, though," she said. "We done just for fun." "That picture fell from her pocket while she was dressing herself," tho husband continued his testimony, "and when I picked it up and confronted her with it she only laughed. That made me so mad that I lost control of myself and boied her ears.

Then I left the house, telling her that is was all over between us." After taking another look at the picture the judge dismissed the charge of assault. The other chargo against Abrams, that of non support, was then tried and the defendant was directed by the court to pay the sum of $2 a week to Mrs. Abrams. Abrams stated that he would immediately begin proceedings for divorce. He believes that the tintype is all the evidence he needs to have an absolute divorce granted him.

Citizens to Petition the Trustees to Bond tiie Village. Whltestone, L. September 5 A petition Is being put in circulation here asking the trustees to bond the village, for $50,000 with which to improve the streets and avenues. Many signatures havo been secured and the evening, ino petition also asks for $1,000 to be used for turnpiking every street in the village not included in the list ot streets to be macadamized. The streets to be macadamized are: I'ourteeruh street from Eleventh avenue east to the Uavfllde line; Eleventh avenue from the rail brl.lse south to Bayside road; Eleventh avenue from railroad bridge north to the shore; Thirty sixth street from Eleventh avenue north to Twenty sixth street; Twenty sixth street from Aim :wa.ii buto weL eijjnt.i avenue; avenue from Twenty street south to Twentieth street; Eighth avenue from Twentieth street south to Eighteenth street; Eighteenth street Trom Eleventh street wei to Seventh avenue; Eighteenth street from Seventh avenue west to Col Point line; Seveivth avenue from Eighteenth street south to street; Eighth street fr Seventh avenue west to Fourth avenue; Fourth avenue from Eighteenth street south to Flushing line: Eighteenth street from Seventh avenue east to Eighth avenue; Seventh avenue from Eighteenth street north to Twenty first street; Twenty first street from Seventh avenue east to Eleventh avenue.

William Taylor, 'who owns property necessary for opening a part of Fourteenth street has declared his willingness to deed it to the village. The plan of macadamizing the streets mets with the approval of the village trustees. An argument advanced for the immediate prosecution of the work is that the next legislature will, it Is reported, be asked to prohibit the issuing of bonds by any village within the territory of the proposed greater New York. Such legislation would take the matter of public Improvements out of the hands of the taxpayers and the village would be obliged to await the pleasure of the authorities of the new municipality. ARMY MOTHS AT ORIENT.

They Swarm in Parlors and Drive Oat thef Householders. Orient, L. September 5 The army moth, which is said to be the direct outcome of the army worm which destroyed Orient farmers' grass crops last summer, has caused trouble by Invading private dwellings and causing the inma tes to vacate their rooms. The Bay house, in charge of Dr. and Mrs.

Gray, appears to be one of the chief objects of attack. A few evenings ago a few of them were noticed in the parlors at the Bay house. They were about an inch and a half long, with doubl wings, the larger ones being about two inches in length, while the smaller pair were partly concealed by the larger ones and were of a brilliant red and green hue. Mrs. Gray was seen by an Eagle reporter, and, speaking of the moth, she said: "One evening we were compelled to vacate our parlors altogether and close the doors on account of the moths.

They came by hundreds and the wall of the room was fairly black with them. Tho next day we stopped up every crack or crevice where they would be apt to come through, but that evening they were about aSSiad as before, and we were compelled to sit out on the piazza with the guests." Dr. and Mrs. Gray havo lived in Orient for the past fourteen years, hut they never saw a visitation of moths similar to the present one. Mr.

W. W. Thompson, who is one of the oldest residents of Orient, Is unable to account for the strange appearance of these enormous moths. Many other cottages have been Invaded by the pests, among whose Is that of Mr. James H.

Young, on Main street. All attempts to keep off the pest have proved futile, after fb ey have once appeared in a dwelling. ORGANIZING AT WHITE STONE. Both Democrats and Republicans are Forming in Line. Whltestone, L.

Jane Allenson, 48 years old. or 1,242 Fulton street, this city, was charged with being a shoplifter, in the Jefferson market court. New York, yesterday. The prisoner, a white haired, respectable looking woman, was accused by Mrs. Plunkett, private detective in a Sixth avenue dry goods store, or having purloined from the counters two capes, worth about $30.

She was caught as she was leaving the store with her plunder and was taken to police headquarters by Detectives Reilly and Reidy. The prisoner, whom the police say Is not a professional thief, wept when she was accused. "The devil tempted me and I fell," she sobbed. Her son was in court, and was almost heartbroken when his mother was ar r. J.

The Two edged Sword Hanging Over the Wage Earners of America Heart lass and Damnably Deceptive Appeals of Silver Orators It Is the Working Man's Battle and Woe to Him if in Fa thetic Delusion He Deserts His Own Cause. Chicago, September 5 Central Music hall was crowded to night to hear the address of Carl Schurz, who spoke under the auspices of the American Money league.

Mr. Schurz paid particular attention to the New York speech of Mr. Bryan, and his description of what would, occur "if Bryan is elected" provoked cheers from his auditors. He flatly declared that If Mr. Bryan believed certain things which ho quoted from lr.

Bryan's New York address then Mr. Bryan did not know what free coinage meant, even though bo was its most ardent apostle. The audience, which numbered about 3,500, received Mr. Schurz's address with great enthusiasm. He spoke in part3mfollowB: "Fellow citizens I have come from the East to the West to speak to you for honest money.

I do not imagine myself to be in an enemy's, country. There is to me no enemy's country within the boundaries of this republic. Wherever I am among Americans, I am among fellow citizens and friends, bound together by common Interests and a common patriotism. In this spirit I shall discuss the question of the day. I shall not deal in financial philosophy, but In hard and dry facts.

"There are sporadic discontents in the country, partly genuine, partly produced by artificial agitation. All this has found definite expression in the Chicago platform. This platform is amplified by free coinage orators who tell us that the act of 1873, called "the crime of 1873, has surreptitiously wiped out one half of the people's money, namely, sliver; that in consequence the man who produces things for sale is thus being robbed of half the price, while debts payable on the gold basin have become twice as heavy, and that this fall of prices and increase of burdens is enriching the money changers and oppressing the people. The act of 1873 did not create a new state of things, but simply recognized a state of things which had existed for many and many years. It did thereby not only not destroy half the money of the country, but not a single dollar of it.

"But what is it, then, that has caused the decline of prices? I appeal to your common sense. Do you think that when one man, aided by machinery, does as much productive work as formerly ten or more did, and when our modern means of transportation carry the product from the producer to the consumer with five times, the speed, at one fifth the cost, and when In the transmission of intelligence time is quite and cost almost annihilated do you think that then the product of human labor should not in due proportion become cheaper? If it did not, then modern civilization would, in one of its most important and beneficent functions, be a flat failure. For what is the inventive genius of the age tliat devotes itself to practical objects engaged In what else than in devising and developing means and methods by which luv mings required oy mankind for the sustenance and comfort of life be made better and more easily attainable; that is. cheaper? "Fix your mind upon these words. We wish the United States to be regarded as an honest and honorable nation.

If so, then this declaration made through its government must be regarded as an honest declaration: This declaration could honestly have but one meaning, namely, this: The government said, 'Here I issue paper money to be redeemable In gold or silver coin at my discretion; but lest anybody be disturbed by doubt as to the mercantile value of one of these metals, I hereby solemnly declare it to be my established policy to maintain these two metals at a parity, that is. equal to the most valuable of the two. You can therefore take my paper money with full confidence in my honor and integrity. I repeat, if ours Is an honest and honorable government, the declaration could not possibly have any other meaning. I therefore affirm and maintain that it constituted a clear and solemn pledge on the part of the United States to keep the silver dollar in.

its purchasing power as good as the gold dollar, and to do all things that might be necessary to that end. Whoever denies this meaning of the ueciaration, pronounces the United States a cheat, a confidence concern, issuing promises to pay under false pretenses. "Had the government neglected to take these liecessary steps, had it permitted the parity of the two metals to be disturbed, it would have been false to its manifest duty, a duty which President Cleveland faithfully, courageously fulfilled. There stands, then, the national pledge to keep the purchasing power of the slver dollar within the United States equal to that of the gold dollar. Every governmental policy disregarding that pledge or making res fulfillment impossible is a policy or downright repudiation, dishonoring the republic.

Some of the silver papers said that the banks in coming volutarily to the rescue of tho PflYPmTllPnr Off. nnr but from Interest. If so, then let us thank God that wa have financial Institutions that consider it their interest to keep the government solvent. Woe to the country if a majority of the people should find it in their Interest to make the government bankrupt! The sudden disappearance of our circulation would produce the most stringent wuu duiiuii ui uiie currency on record. Business men who owe money and at the same time have money due them will be forced to collect that money by means at their disposal.

Nobody will be Inclined to lend out any money except upon extraordinary uuuhlj. udiiiio wm naturally consider It their duty to keep thomsel therefore, to call in loans and to restrict their discounts and advances to business men with the utmost caution. Business establishments manufactories, mercantile houses, unable to get the money for meeting their obligations "in uj ui uuuureus succumo to their embarrassments and tumble down like a row of bricks. Others will cautiously restrict their operations to the narrowest possible limit and wage earners by the thousands will lose their employment and be turned into the street.

BOTH SIDESCLAIMING THE STATE Important Conferences at the Democratic OfTi es McKinley May Mak Short Campaign Trips Planning the Campaign of the Sound Money Democrats Massachusetts Delegatos to Indianapolis Get a Warm Welcome in Boston. Washington, D. September 5 There wers several important conferences at Democratio headquarters here to day. Senator Gorman ot Maryland was among tho callers and he spent considerable time in conference with Chairman Faulkner discussing the outlook for the cam palgn. Congressman Treloar of Missouri was at Republican congressional headquarters to day and made tho prediction that the Palmer Buck ner ticket would poll from 40,000 to 50,000 votes In that state, which would, ho said, certainly give the state to McKinley.

He stated that there was no longer any possibility of a fusion between the Democrats and Populists, because the Democratic nominee for governor is a banker, and tho Missouri Populists have declared by resolution that they will not support a banker for office. On the other hand Robert H. Kern, Democratic nominee for congress in the St. Louis district, who was a cailer at Democratio headquarters, said: "There is no doubt that Missouri will roll up a larger Democratic maloritv than th usual. We are all in line.

We will cer ciett tuii tteu ana possiDly fourteen Democrats to congress out of fifteen. As for my own district, the Twelfth, I have no doubt about it. In the city of St. Louis wa will get in more silver Republican votes than we will lose Democrats. In the interior of the state it Is all our way for free sliver and Republicans in great numbers are joining Bryan clubs ail over the state." The Populist national committee has prepared a reply to the argument that the free coinage of silver will benefit the farmer at the expense of the laboring man, and will immediately print several million copies for distribution.

Possibility That McKinley May Make Short Campaign Trips. Chicago, September 5 Chairman Han na of the Republican national committee arrived In Chicago rather unexpectedly to day and went immediately to headquarters at tha Auditorium. Many prominent leaders were there to confer with him regarding the political situation in their respective localities. Mr. Hanna will remain here for two weeks, during which time he will personally conduct the McKinley campaign in the West.

Not long after his arrival it was reported that the advisability of Major McKinley malting short campaign trips next month was under consideration. Neither Chairman Hanna nor other Republican leaders would discuss the report, although it was admitted the question had been under consideration. Planning the Campaign of the Sound Money Democrats. Indianapolis, September Vey Hol man of Maine has been added to the executive committee of the national Democratio party. Mr.

Holman will have charge of the literary bureau of the party. L. C. Krouthoft of Missouri will take charge of the speakers' bureau if he can arrange business at St. Louis.

United States Senator Caffery ot Louisiana will deliver the notification speech to General Palmer, Louisville, September 12. On the same day and in the same city JohrT" R. Fellows of New York will notify General Buckner of his nomination for the vice Presidency. After the notification of both candidates a short tour will probably be made by the candidates through one or two Southern states. If the arrangements are agreeable to the candidates tire party will go to Nashville on September 14, thence to Memphis on tho 16th.

Mr. Fellows will be of the party. Massachusetts' Gold Democratic Delegates Warmly Wel Home. Boston, September 5 With band and banners a large delegation of Boston's gold standard Democrats greeted the returning representatives of Massachusetts. Maine and Vermont to the Indianapolis convention to day, and under escort of their friends, the Indianapolis delegates proceeded to Faneuil hall at noon, where their labors were praised and the nomination of Palmer and Buckner was enthusiastically endorsed.

John F. Cronin was chairman of the meeting. Sigourney, chairman of the Massachusetts delegation; W. H. Clifford of Maine, and W.

H. Creamer of Vermont, spoke. Mr. Butler said the Massachusetts delegation had returned to report substantial progress. He said the convention drew a platform which every true Democrat could support and, for the first time in thirty two years, dared to wipe out the blot of sectionalism which has cursed tha country and say there is no North, South, East or West.

Mr. Clifford characterized the convention at Chicago as a "barbaric eruption," and said the true national Democracy could never be quenched by treachery within or assault without. Mr. Creamer of the Vermont delegation said the Vermont delegates spoke as best they could at the polls last Tuesdav, but that they would speak stronger in November. They have never been cheered by victory or dismayed by defeat.

A Buffalo Banker Replies to Ban'a Attack. Buffalo, N. September 5 William O. ornwell. president of the City bank here, addressed the school of finance to night on the financial question.

AEong other things ha said: "When Mr. Bryan was in Buffalo he took special pains to stimatlze bankers, but in his speech in New York and in all his speeches he has shown such great ignorance on the subject of banking, that I am inclined to think that it is his age more than anything; else that is at fault. 1 remember that when was about as old as he is land I had then been in the banking business more than half my life), I knew a great many things about banking which I have since learned were not so. Now youth is a magnificent qualltv, but It is better on a ranch than in an executive chair, especially if such things have to be said, as have to be. concerning Mr.

Bryan namely, for instance, that what ho knowa about finance is not so, and that in all hla ninety seven speeches in the enemies' country, speeches teeming with crowns, crosses, firal brands and revolutions, appealing, as thev nr to the danSerous element, not one. of his cr me uauscrs or tno united States, are mainly trustees of the people's money, emploved on and expected to so conduct the'af fairs of the bank that the greatest benefit will come to their stockholders, to their depositors, to the whole business of the locality, bv msana of carol ul loaning." National Convention of Democratic Clubs Postponed. Washington, D. September 5 The convention or the National Association of Democratic Clubs, called to meet at St. Louis on September SB, will be postponed until October and will last through October This is done to insure the attendance of Messrs.

Bryan and Sewall, who would not have been able to be present on the date first named.

Many Pleasant Things Said by tho Candidate Regarding the Solid Republicanism of Pennsylvania Regret Expressed for the Absence of Their Leader Allusion to Quay's Service for His State in Congress. Canton, 0., September 5 The Beaver coun ty, delegation reached the McKinley home 2,500 strong at 12:15 this afternoon. They came on special trains over tho Pennsyl i vania road. After an enthusiastic march through the streets to the McKinleyiome the 1 number was doubled by acquisitions along the route and in the city. Among the clubs in line were the Lincoln club of New Brighton, I McKinley and Hobart club of Monaco, McKln ley club of Beaver, Republican club of Roches ter.

The party was headed by Major Little of Beaver Falls and E. H. Thomas of Netf Brighton. Tho reception given Major McKinley when he appeared upon the porch to greet his visit I ors was one of the most enthusiastic scenes yet witnessed at the house. The cheering could be heard for biocks and blocks away; such a waving of hats and handkerchiefs and umbrellas and banners has seldom been wit i uessed.

It was somo time before tho speaker could 1 be heard. When order was secured Edward A. Frethy, a molder of Beaver Falls, was introduced and presented tne congratulations and assurances of hearty and continuous sup port for McKinley and the Republican cause by the people of Senator Quay's home. Major McKinley made an appropriate re sponse, speaking at some length on the issues ot the campaign aa touows: Major McKinley's Address. My fellow citizens It gives mo very great pleasure to receive this call from the workius meu and citizens of Beaver county of the Mute of Pennsylvania.

I greet you at my home as friends and as allies in the great cause in which the honor of the country and prosperity of the people are involved. You are our nearest neighbors on the East and are closely connected socially and la business relations with the Eastern part of the old congressional district, which for so many years I had the henor to represent. The people of this country never wero so eager to vote as now. (Great cheer lug The last four years havo been long years the longest four years since our great civil war. (Cries of "That's Everything has suffered but the Republican party.

Laughter.) Everything has been blighted, but Republican principle. (Applause and laughter.) And they are dearer, more cherished and more glcricus than they have ever been before. (Crirs cf "That's The peoplo of tho country are only waiting for an opportunity to embody those great principles In public law and public administration. (Applause.) 1 have great affection for your old county and your gieat commonwealth. (Cries of "Hurrah for McKinley and Beaver Both have stood for the nation and it's honor in every crisis of our history.

No state in the Union ha3 been more closely wedded to Republican doctrines and Republican policies than the state of Pennsylvania. (Cries of "Hurrah for No state has achieved higner rank in manufacturing and mining than yours, ai no state has been more devoted to 'he great doctrine of a protective tariff than the state from Whence you come. (Tremendous cheering.) And, my fellow citizens, no state exemplifies tho splendid advantages of that great system more than yours. I do not imagine that you are ready to give it up. (App.nuse and cries of "NoT But that you will still cling to it as the great American patriotic policies, the best for your advancement and prosperity.

(Cheers and cries of "We will do that all I do not recall a time in the history of the country when the ques'tion of protection was at issue that your state did not declare by emphatic majorities in Its favor. Two years ago you gave to your distinguished governor General Hastings (great applause), the largest majority ever given by your state, and probably the largest popular majority ever given to any candlato in any state of the Union. (Applause and cries of "We will make yours bigger." My fellow citizens, I do not forget this delegation comes from the home of that distinguished leader ami unrivaled Republican organizer (great cheering and cries of "Quay, whose unfaltering (cries of "McKinley, McKinley" devotion to Republicanism has never wavered, and whose splendid services to the' cause have mora Chan once assisted to achieve the most signal triumphs in both your state and the nation. (Great appiause.) I remember well that when the Wilson tariff law went from the house to the senate and was under discussion Senator Quay stood resolutely for every interest in his state and prevented the destruction of the great industries by his great speech, which was the longest ever delivered upon the tariff question in the history of the republic, and which has not been concluded. (Great laughter and applause.) When he was lighting up for the industries oi the state on the floor of the senate, if he could not save them iu any other way he resumed hus speech (laughter) which went on day after day (renewed iaughter) without apparent diminution of his manuscript which laid before him.

(Renewed iaughter and cries of "Hurrah for Quay." I wish he might have been a part of this great delegation to day, but hiis absence is fully compensated by tiie fact that on another part of this great field cf contest he is serving uie same cause iu wlrich you are engaged and for the success of so many people are strivings (Applause.) It is this year, my countrymen, a great cause for which wo contend commanding the support of every patriot for it represents the national honor and stands foivrrationai prosperity. (Applause and cries of "That's It Involves every cherished interest of the country and embraces the affairs of every citizen dT the republic. (A voice, "You told the truth then It involves the lab.ir and wages of the people and the earnings accumulated and to be accuuilated, thte honor c.f the country, its financial integrity, its good name all are stake hi this great contest and every lover cf 'his country must be aroused to duty and quickened to Uie res pensibilty of this crisis.

The past is secure and glorious.

The present and future are our fields of duty and opportunity. Those 'who luave preceded us have done their part well. Shall we be less honesc and patriotic and brave in the performance of our part? (Cries of "No. In America we spurn all class distinctions. (Applause and cries of "Correct, correct.

But to any part of honor all who chose may aspire, and history has proved that the humblest In youth aro frequently the most honored and powerful in tho maturity of strength and age. (Cries of "That's right" and "Hurrah for It has boon long demonstrated that tho philosophy of Jefferson is true and that this, the land of the free and self governed, is he strongest as well as the best government in the world.

They must be preserved, and there is no hope in the world like them. (Great applause and cries of "Hurrah for My fellow citizens, it has given me extreme pleasure to meet and greet you at my home to dav. and it will give me still greater pleasure to meet and greet each ono of you personally.

(Tro rneudous cheerina.) I the indispensable food, clothing and shol ter, Is. very little compared with its income. family, the wage earner's family, is obliged to spend a very large part of its in come from day to day upon food, clothing, shelter, heat and light, that cannot be temporarily dispensed with without hardship. I From a rise in the prices of the necessaries of lifo the poor people, therefore, suffer by far the most. Nay, more than that, the poorest laborer is in proportion to his means a much 1 heavier consumer than tho richest millionaire.

And as to the blessing of high prices, they are a grinding hardship, not to the rich, but to tho poor consumers, unless their earnings rise in full proportion to tho rise In prices. Neith er are rising prices a sign of rising business prosperity, except when that riso prices i springs from Increasing consumption. It cer i talnly Is not when it Is caused by a debase ment the of purchasing power of the current money. I must confess of all the deceptive appeals resorted to by the silver orators that addressed to the wage earners seems to mo tho most heartless and damnable. And of all tho Instances of reckless credulity we witness that of wage earners who actually permit themsoives to he persuaded that free silver coinage will be a blessing to them Is the most incomprehensible and the saddest.

Thoro is something pathetic in their delusion. Of ail things human labor is the one that ha3 during tho last fifty years In this country largely and almost steadily risen in price. Average wages have nearly5 doubled since 1840, and have risen more than 60 per cent, since I860. The steady rise has been owing partly to organization, in greater part to the larger average productiveness of human labor in connection with machinery in one word, to the progress of civilization. As civilization has served to multiply and cheapen labor's products it has at the same time served to enhance labor's earnings.

It has thus secured to the laboring man, especially in this republic, a double advantage a greater number of dollars by way of wages, and for every dollar more of the things which the laboring man has to buy for the necessities and enjoyments of himself and his family. This Is one of the greatest achievements of our age, at which even' true friend of humanity will heartily rejoice, but which more than all others the wcrklngman himself should appreciate. That the workingmen should be called upon, by the exercise of their right as voters, to aid in despoiling themselves of this combined blessing, looks like a satanic mockery. If there Is anybody in the wide world who should fight to the last gasp for a money of true value that does not lie to him, and who should curse and spurn as his worst enemy the demagogue seeking to beguile him with deceitTul currency juggles, it is the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow. This Is emphatically the wage earners' battle.

Alas for him If he should desert his own cause. Let us go on. Almost every man In active business is a debtor and a creditor at the same time very merchant, every manufacturer, a creditor to his customers and a debtor to those from whom he buys. Let Mr. Bryan bring on his panic and hundreds, If not thousands of them, although ever so solvent under ordinary circumstances, will break because they cannot pay what they owe, being unable to collect what is due them.

But we are told that the Bryan panic cannot last for ever; that finally the business of the country will adjust itself to the silver basis; that then unrest will cease and that confidence and prosperity will return. No, the unrest will not cease. For with the establishment of the silver basis will come the disappointment those who brought It on. It will be found that whoever wants silver dollars must either sell something for them or work for them or borrow them, or get them by begging or steal them; that whoever wants to borrow them must give satisfactory security, just as it was with gold dollars before, and that everybody will want more silver dollars than he wanted gold dollars to do the same business, because they will buy less. However, the ultimate results Is not at all uncertain.

After a period of Infinite confusion, disaster, humiliation, suffering and misery the American people will at last regain sanity of mind and arrive again, at some very simple conclusions: That, if you call a peck a bushel, you will have more bushels, but not more grain; if you call a foot a yard, you will have more yards, but not more cloth; if you call a square rod an acre, you will have more acres, but not more land; and if you call 50 cents, or 1 cent, or a hit of paper, a dollar, you will have more dollars, but not more wealth indeed, a great deal less chance for wealth, for you will have far less credit, because far less honesty. W.e shall then have learned again that the wit of man cannot although insanity tries very hard invent an economic system under which everything you have to sell will be dear, and everything you have to buy will be cheap. Chastened by adversity, we shall then no longer be tempted to repeat such nonsense, but with laborious and painful effort we shall work our way back to that money standard which will insure stability and confidence at homo and enable us to trade with the nations of the world on equal terms. But because I know this my blood stirs with indignation when I see the unscrupulous efforts made to goad them on to their destruction. I have witnessed in my long life ten presidential campaigns, but never one in which the appeals to prejudice, passion and cupidity wero so reckless and the speculation upon assumed popular ignorance or rascality so audacious and wicked.

Some of the silver orators actually speak as if they believed the American people to be born fools or knaves, or both. But more. Resorting to that cheapest of all hackneyed tricks of demagogy, the excitement of American feeling against England In particular and Europe in general, they tell us that, like a conquered race, we are paying tribute to a foreigner. What has Europe done to subjugate us? Nothing, absolutely nothing, but lend us money. She did not force her money upon us, but lent it when we asked for It and were glad to receive it.

She lent us money whon we needed It to maintain the Union and were in dire distress. She lent us money when we wished it to develop the resources of our now country, and now what does Europe ask for? Nothing but what we promised to pay when we took what she lent. Where Is the tribute? He l.s a traitor to the laboring man who tells him that he can profit by tho ruin of his employer. They pretend to be onemies of pluto cracy and advocate a policy which, if I were a selfish, unscrupulous money shark I should welcome as my finest opportunity. They have been teaching tho people that because the prlcos of wheat and other things havo fallen about one half since the so callckl demonetization year, 1873 I nave shown why those prices have fallen it is not equitable that debtors should be held to pay more than half tho amount of their debts In gold, that they should bo released in correspondence with the decline in prlcos and that it would therefore he right to reduce by freo silver col uago the value of the debt paying money by one half.

Subject the principle itself to a simple test. When I contract a debt I owe what it is mutually understood that I am to pay. Our whole business life and social fabric, all human intercourse, rests upon the binding force of such understandings. You recognize such a principle and carry it into goneral practice and there will be the end or all confidence between man and man, the cessation of all credit and trust, the utter subversion of the moral rules governing hu man intercourse, an unbridled rerun nf fraudulent pretense and unscrupulous greed In one word, tho overthrow of civilized life. Fellow citizens, think litis out.

It Is a grave matter a matter of vital import to the existence of this nation. The father who teaches such moral principles to his children i educates them for fraud, dishonor and the i penitentiary. Tho public men who teach such nvoral principles to the people, educate the people for the contempt and abhorrenco of mankind. The nation that accepts such moral principles cannot live! It will rot to death I in the loathsome stow of its own corruption. If the nation accepting such moral princl pies be this republic, it will deal a blow to the credit of democratic Institutions from which the cause of l'rge government will not recover for centuries.

But, thank God! the American peoplo will never accept such moral principles. The American people will, before election day arrives, havo fully discovered what all this means. They will indignantly repel the unspeakable insult ofrored to them by tho politicians who have dared to ask for tho votes of honaat men. upon the offer Buch a bait. I saia: "Ladies and gentlemen I haven't time to make a speech but I am very glad to see you, whether you are drawn here by what opposing papers call idle curiosity or by interest in the cause being presented in this campaign.

I am inclined to believe there is a great deal of Interest among the people on both sides of this question. Some believe the success of the free sliver cause would be very detrimental to the country. They of course are earnestly opposed to us. Others believe that there can be no general return of prosperity to the people of the United States until we stop appreciation of money by giving the people more standard money. It is not for one man to say how another shall think, or act, or vote, but I believe we have a right to urge upon you the importance of studying the question for yourselves and not allowing anybody to think for you.

"I do not believe there is any class of people who can safely be entrusted with the right to think and act for another class. The ballot Is given to citizens. The ballot is given to citizens in order that each citizen may make his vote his representative, not what somebody may else may think and wants himself. I simply ask you during the days that intervene between now and' election day to study the issues presented in this campaign and when you have made up your minds have the courage to vote as you pleas and no one can question your right to do it. I thank you." (Applause and cheers.) There was a loud cheer for the nominee when Mr.

Bryan had finished, and then someone proposed "Three cheers for McKinley," and about half the crowd gave them with a will. These were followed by return cheering for Uie Democratic nominee, which continued until the train got under way. Kenosha was the next stop and a thousand people were waiting for the candidates. Mr. Bryan spoks as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen It Is natural that in a country like this, where all power emanates from the people and officers are chosen by the people, that they should feel an interest in public issues and campaigns through which they pass.

When a time comes when some great question forces itself to the front, the interest is deepened, and we have reached such a time. Often it is a matter of comparatively little importance whether an issue that be for the people is settled this year or next, or a few years in the future, but there are times when great results depend on a campaign, and we have reached such a time. The money question has been forced upon the attention of the people by those who are not sa tlsfled with the gradual appreciation of the dollar, but have sought to hasten the Issue. It certainly has been too rapid before for the welfare cif the people, but those who were the beneficiaries of the appreciation of the dollar were not satisfied and attempted to hasten its rise by action still more hostile to the white metal. They have not been content to let the people have an increased volume of money, but they secured the repeal of th Sherman lav and put nothing In its place and then began to issue bonds because hard times had made it Impossible to invest money in enterprises.

Property was falling ana wnen property is railing people do not want to Invest in property. They want to invest in money and then when money Is Idle and they can not find profitable Investments in enterprises, some want to draw a good interest on it in safe investments. In my judgment those who want a safe investment and want government bonds Issued were, to a large extent, responsible for the result. In our platform we have declared against the issue of bonds in times of peace. When you come to consider these questions the interests of th people who must pay taxes to pay the bonds should be considered rather than the people who desire to profit by taxation wrung from a people already overburdened.

We knew when we put t'he clause in our platform against the issue of bonds we would lose the bondholders, but we want the people who pay the taxes. (Cheers.) At a conservative estimate, fully 1.S00 persons assembled to meet Mr. Bryan at Racine and It seemed as if every one of these was trying to out do the other In cheering and applauding. Captain W. B.

Vance of Racine introduced Mr. Bryan, who said: "Ladies and gentlemen When I see a large number of people like this, who seem to be Interested in the success of the campaign, upon which we have started, I sometimes wonder whether it is possible that you people are deserving of tho names that are being applied to you. If I am an anarchist, then all that want me to be elected must be anarchists also. When I look into your faces I wonder whether you are all enemies of the government or enemies of those who want to use the government as a private snap. (Applause.) There Is a great difference between beins against the government and against those who misuse the government.

Andrew Jackson said there were no necessary evils in government; that Its evils grow out of its abuse. Scm people do not draw any lines between government and the abuse of government and whenever people speak out against abuse of government, those aro making money out of the abuse generally find fault with the people who complain, and try to put them in the attitude of opponents of the government. I want to assure you the most loyal supporters of government are not found In the great trusts. wnicn tnink tney are greater than the govern ment and control it. (Great applause.) are round among the masses who want to lu ie un me ku enimcnt irom every cm i hv m.nkmr" Ir will love.

(App.ause.) Rc member you cannot re i 1,1 fin oy taiiiins; you nave got to retorm It by voting. People may complain as much i as they like about a bad law, but the way to i set mi is to repeal ana tne way to re luio muse oeneve in re i pealing the laws that are bad and not those who want to make more bad laws and keep all the bad laws already in existence. "If tho people of this country would all recognize tho power of the bailot and use that ballot as they should there would be less com plaint against injustice. If our laws aro bad remember the people who permit the laws to remain bad are to blame. If our laws are to be good those who want them good have got to make them good.

I thank vou. (Great aD plause and cheering.) MACKIE'S HOTEL REOPENED. Lyons hotel, at Ocean parkway and Lawrence avenue, Tarkville, was sold yesterday by its owner, S. W. Lyons, and will hereafter be known as Mackle's hotel.
