The English government is now
experimenting with a gon which
will fire 1000 shots in 125 seconds,
it is the deadliest of all the auto
matic inan-sia.vei's ever .vet in-j
vented, says the Kew York Herald, j
As with all machine guns, the first j
allot must be fired by hand. After ;
that the weapou will absorb car
tridges aud emit a chain of bullets |
as long as it is fed. Experiments !
made thus far sbow that on tbe oc- !
caaiou of a brief, sharp attack, tbe ;
gun can actually he made to fire
eleven shots in a single second,
A very interesting feature of this !
new gun is that the explosive ;
power results from the use of;
cordite. Tbe whole of this sub
stance is expended in pressure, 1
whereas black powder is only use
ful for pressure to the extent of
50 per cent. Tbe experiments with
cordite and with the gun referred
to show conclusively that cordite
is not affected by water, as is gun
powder, and will staud great varia
tion in temperature.

Last summer when the presi
dential campaign was in progress,
the people were told by the Re
publicans and the gold press that
the hard times then existing were
the direct result of the agitation
of the free coinage issue. "We
are having a Bryan panic, 1 ' they
declared, "bot it is only a fore
taste of wbut you will experience
if yon defeat McKinley," they
asked the people to choose be
tween "a Bryan panic" and Mc
Kinley prosperity."
The result showed that a suffi
cient nnmber of voters were im
pressed by declarations of this
character to give the presidency to
McKinley. The result also shows
that the difference between ''Mc
Kinley prosperity" and a "Bryan
panic" are largely in favor of
the latter, for business conditions
of all kinds nre on a narrower
and more unprofitable basis, and
times are harder under the opera- j
tione of "McKinley prosperity"!
than they were under the "Bryan
panic."
We beg to call the attention of
the gold press and the Republican I
organs to this remarkable state of
things, and to ask them for a brief
explanation thereof. Times are
harder, more people are ont of 1
work, prices are lower, and gen- j
era! business is less profitable,
now that we have "McKinley pros
perity" than when we had the
Bryan panic." If the present con
ditions are merely the forerunners
of "McKinley prosperity," the peo
ple may well cry aloud in their ;
despair to be saved from t he re
sults of such prosperity.
Mr. McKinley himself seems to
take no note of the situation. It '
is true that he is keen to demand.
relief for suffering Americans in
Cuba, but on the awful condition
of millions of men, women and
children in this country he turns
his back. Why should this be |
so? The Constitution does not j
begrudge a dollar that lias been :
or is to be sent to destitute Ameri
cans in Cuba, but what greater
dann on the benevolence of the
government have these people
thau the millions of destitute men, !
women and children who are :
tramping the streets of our great 1
[Cities hunting in vain for work,;
begging and starving ?
To these people. Mr. McKinley i
says, through the Republican Con- :
gress : "You waut relief and yon
shall have it. You nre to be com- ;
pelted to pay more for your tea.
your sugar, your blankets and
woolen goods, your calicoes, your
shoes and your crockery. If this
doesn't relieve you, you do not
deserve relief." That, is wbatoMr.
McKiuley is saying to the suffer
ing Americans at home. Tbe re
snit is that "McKinley prosperity"
is a much more dreadful affair tbau
tbe "Bryan panic," and threatens
to sacrifice tbe welfare of all tbe
taxpayers to the interest of a few
monopolies and manufacturers
who contributed to tbe Republi
can corruption fond,
Matters bave reached the point
where the most iguorant voter is
able to see that "McKinley pros
parity," in its results and prom
ises is a hundredfold worse tbau
tbe "Bryan panic" tbe gold preas
and Republicans discovered last
year.
In point of fact, tbe condition
which they name "a Bryan panic"
was simply tbe outcome of tbe
single gold standard, whereby *11
tbe elements of productiveoess
are robbed of tbeir value aud
profit by dear mouey aod die
honest prices. Every phase of
McKiuleyisui that bas been sug
gested as a remedy tbua for will
■imply add to tbe preaaure of tbe
bard times, aud this will oontiuna
tbe party of tbe gold syndicates—
out of exiatenee, aod place in
power tbe Deatoeratic party, tbe
party of tbe people.
