jj "1 proposo to bu limit certain proposition
f which arc so axlomnt 1c that they cannot bo con-
if trovortcd, although tltcro nro many people who
;4 dispute them. In tho first place, as tho produc-
IV tlcrti of vvcnlth comes boforo lis dlslrlbu-
A lion, tho prosperity of u nation must bo
I derived primarily from Its woalth producers.
.a This truth Is so nxlomatlo that elaboration
K would bo unnecessary but for tho fact that thore
"i ore many people who Imnglno that tho pros-
I pcrlly of a nation conical down to tho masses
frorti tho few who gr'ncinlly seek, and too
often, sccuro, special lo.isldcrivtlou at the
hands of legislators. Within tho last.
1 year 1 hnvo had occasion lo read a pamphlet
f written by n .dlsriigulshed Now York banker,
i nnd In that pamphlet I fount tho assertion that j
'i tho prosperity of tho furiiors nnd laborers I
? depends upon tho prosperity of tho busl- j
t ness men. Ho lone ns otic et'tortatns Buch
I on Idea ho Is corfAln to cntortt In erroneous

J whoso bruin And muscles oouvurt tho natural re-
J sources of tho country Into material wealth.
"As ii lawyer I belong lo onu of tho non-
j producing classes. Lawyers don't produco
II wealth, hut n lavryor certnlnly takes a
I? narrow view of his own interests If ho
docs not roallro that his wclfaro depends
'j upon tho welfare of the great massos
, of tho pcoplo. nnd unless that law-
f yer Is counsel for somo (treat trust
. nnd corporation ho Is Interested In all thoso
things which tend to tho general welfaro of tho
J people, becniiBO a lawyer con mnko moro money
I unions thoso wno aro doing well than oraone
people who are not financially blossod. And
I what Is truo of tho lawyer is truo of tho
,8 ploetilau. Ho not only desires to hnvo patients,
8 butho wants patients who can pay. So also la
I it wth merchants anil w lib tho trailing clashes.
fi They depend for Ihclr support on tho creat
9 wealth-producing professions. Even tho work
I of tho, minister can bo carried on hotter among
fi pcoplo ,vi bo are prosperous than nmonp; thoso '
1 whoarchuiurry and destitute.
I Not only must any real prosperity begin with
thoso who toll, but tho nation's progress toward
a higher civilization must be measured by the
progress made by tbo producing classes. Under
acvorr form of government It has ticcn posslolo
to point to n few persons posses:cd of .
ineUns and of rcltiieinenl, but it Is tho
nverggW'protrress, not the proirrcss of tho few, ;
that must always bo considered. Tho well to I
do uro shortsighted Indeed if they imagine that
they cn.n,.epnrato themselves from tbo grnit
mass of the people with whom they live. Tho
Creator has so tied us together that it is impos-
; ilbToToF hnoto Imildsurolyorpermancntly upon
tho ftfrttmes of others. Mental discipline, moral
training, habits of industry and economy, all
havo their part in improving the general condi
tion of.otir people, and yet the tnlliivnco of legls- ,
J Intion must not be overlooked under uny system ,
$ of government, and under any kind of legisia-
Hon there will bo individual differences, due to
t causvn entirely boond tho sphere of legislation. ,
j "lint it has been truo In the past, ami Is truo I
j to-(lny. that the Instrumentalities of goiern-
I ment-nre often cmplojcd to give some peoplo
J an advantage ocr tho rest. Tbc object of
,1 universal eutlrage Is to enable each Individ-
j ual to protect himself from injury at the
av hnnds-f'Otbfcrs; and an lnlolllgont 'exercise of
'i 'thp right olsufrragols the only memsby which
; political evils can bo remedied and political
V wrongs redressed. Those who aro numerically
too we ik or naturally too indifferent lo secure a
t remedy through tho bullot aro impotent to so
' cure relief in any other way.
? "Without attempting to enter into details I
Ir BUggist that under the very best conditions that
1 could exist u majority of the people would bo
J too busy attending to their overy-day nf.
fairs, cither to hang about legislative
I halls themselves or send representatives,
, except their elected ones, to look .ifier their in
i torest In legielailvo matters. For cxamide. ir

nn Inllucnco upon their eondu. t. Mr. Cir
lisle. In bis speech of 1H78, divided soelely
Into two clisscs, namely: 'tbo Idle, hold

tuxoM of the country.' Ho suggested that tho
sympathies of the man who was then Secretory
nf the Treasury and It happened ti ho Sir.
Sherman were on t ho side or 'I ho Idlo holdeis of
Idle t'litiltnl.-iiud ho asserted that beiauso his
sympathies were on that sldo bo would 'colli Iho
minimum rather than the maximum, pro
vided by tbo Bland act.' No part nf
that pomnrkablrt speech Is morn worthi
ly serious consideration thin tho parltowhi.li
I have Just referred. Mr. Carlisle was right In ,
nsserlliir that the action of a public ofllelsl Is
controlled by his sympathies. If his sjiupathics
are wllli Idle holders of Idlocapltal hismludwlil
Mini a plausible reason for doing what the Idle
holders of Idle capital want done; If his sympa
thies are with tbo struggling masses this sym
pathy will bo manifested in his utllcial conduct
"It wns ns severe a charge aa ono oltiiinl
could well bring against nnother, but It Is truo
that men In nubile lite will 1m governed iargcly

that pcoplo should bo represented in tho legis
lative gn eminent nnd on the bonch by men
who sympathies nro with tho masses nf tho
pcoplo than by men of extraordinary ability or
great brilliancy. I
"The writ of Injunction Is generally sought
by employers, who, after combining among
themselves, endemor to preiont cooperation
among their employees. Tho main purpoe of
the writ of injunction In such cases Is to avoid
tilal by jury. Without entering upon nnlscus
nlon of t be Biibjcct, I desire tosuggest I lint t rial bv
Jurr Is more important to the American peonlo
to-day than It eler was belnro in tho nation's
history. It was originally Intended asn protec
tion agilnit roynll,and It Is to day the main
protection which the people have against plutoc
racy, which is In this country what royalty is
under a mon irrhical form of government."
. Mr. llryan i-oncludod bis speech by rev lowing
his conduct In thulatornmpilgn.sajing:
"l was subjected to criticism liocause I urged
employees to ocreio the right .given tliem
under the Australian ballot, eien though In
bo doing they voted Contrary to tho olors
I worn during tho campaign. I believe
my binguago In substance was that they
should wo T Republican bulges if thev were re
quired to du so, man h In Itcpiibllcan parades If
It whs tiecesiiiry. nnd even contribute to Repub
lican campaign funds If thoy were compelled to
do so; and that, after hiving done nil thoso
things, thoy should vote according to conscience
and Judgment. ,
" And let mo snv here, my friends, that in ad- ,
: vlslnc im n to votoiiceordlng to thelrconselenco
and their Judgment I did not mean to confine it
lo men who would in so doing vote our wny. I
believe thnt a man's vole is his own, nnd that
unless sou can convinco hlnr that 'he ought to
place his vnto with you you hsvetipclnimwhat-
over upon his suffrage us an AmerK-un i-tiOcn. I
"I was accused of advising men to 1 hypo
crites. Tho advice I gin e nnd the criticism
which It mot raised nn Important political ques
tion, lias an employer a political rUht Inevndo
the Australian billot by forcing his em

Tbroush tbo Harmony ' Convention.
LlNCOWf, Neb., Sept, 0,-Tho Stnto campal-n
In Nobriska Is formally on. Comtdornblo nnlmn
tlon It being exhibited by both sldos, but the
hurrah that has been mado by tho silver pross
throughout tho country nbout tho harmony of
tho triangular silver convention Is tho most
groundless fako that has been contributed by
Iho siller clement In this Htnto slnco llryan
commenced his rcmnrknblo crusade. Their
"promotion" cmumlltco has teen to it that tho
most exaggerated statements of tho meeting
Vtoio sent out, nnd careful censorship was em
ployed to suppress tho details Unit would to
veal tho very ov'dont oppoilllon to tho fusion
arrangements.
Tho convention of tho thrco silver pnrtlos
was creditable enough, but tho enthusiasm nnd
ntlondnticu wero not to bo compared to tho con
vention of last yoar. when moro than dotiblo Iho
number wero nt Lincoln, Tho triangular con
vention report prepared for tho sllvor press
rant out tho most glowing descriptions con
cerning tho harmony nnd enso with which tbo
conventions got together In tho Interest of sil
ver, but tho facts nro that It was tho hardest
work tho silver leaders of tho State havo had
for years to keep tho varlod interests together,
and tlino and tlmo again motions wero made in
each of tho thrco bodies to proceed to Iho nomi
nation of a candldnlu of Its own peculiar faith,
regardless of tho Interests of silver and tho do
slros of tho other conventions,
As evidence of tho hnrd work It was to ao
conipllsh fusion tho fact may bo cited that W.
J. llryan, Senator Allen. (Iciv. Holcumb, Jerry
Simpson, Senator Teller, (Jon. Wenicr, Con
gressman Hartmnn of Montana, and Cyclono
Davis of Texas, together with moru than ono
thousand prominent sllicr men from all parts
of tbo Klutc, labored for moru than twcntv-four i
consccutlvo hours to effect tho amalgamation. '
When it was finally ace mplishud, Mr. Ilrynn
declared thnt ho wus moru exhausted than bo
had been at any timo since tho sllvor cumpnlgn
was begun a yenr ago. Ho bad scarcely had
tlmo to cat n meal nud had not closed his eyes.
This wus truo not only of tho leaders of
this and other States who were managing tho
fusion delegates, but alro of nearly tho wholo
convention. Krom tho tlmo tho three conven
tions convened, Wednosday at noon, they wero
not permitted to take a recess of more thun ono
hour until acandldatohad been named.
Tbo leaders had dono much shrewd planning
in advance. They realized better than tho
opposltloiuho nnluro of tho undertaking boforo I
them In tbo first place tlicro was plain evl-
deuce of indcpcnncncoon tho part of tho dele- '
gates to all tho conventions. Tho BDlrll that I
kept Iho men of different political funks In tho
silver ranks last jenr was warning this year.
The Populists wero clamoring for the nominee.
They pointed to tho great number of Dc mo
crats who iiao been put in olllco In tho State
by Populist votes, und to tho manner in which
they huro boosted lliyan and other silver
lenders to the great co of their parts organi
zation. This, too, when they outnumber tho
Democrats ihreo to ono In Nebraska. Tho
Democrat declared that thu Populists could
accomplish nothing without their support, nnd
behind both political giaute tbo Utile band of
silver Hcpublieaus raised their weak voices in
protest, und Insisted tbut they should havo at
least a crumb, which was mote than they had
ever got before.
Thu conferunco committee of tbo loading sil
ver men at this citj two weeks before the con
vention prepared a plan to silcncn tho inde
pendent lellown in all parties. They tause-d
to bo circulated reports to Iho effect that mem
bers of tho ltepublicau National C juiiiiitteo, in
conjunction with the Nulionul Committee of
tho .National Democratic party, had conio to
the mute with unlimited capital, furiiichtd by i
the opponents of bimetallism, and were quietly
putting it wticro It would du the most work in
preventing harmony und ciontuul fusion in thu
ri.uto triangular cuuientiuu. They openly do- I
clared lhal benatur John M. Thurston and tho
Hon. J. Sterling Morion were travelling in
the State lo promote this distribution of lunds
to the confusion of tho silver men.
They announced that the plan of tho opposi
tion was to buy Just a few delegates In each
county and pledge them to oppose, by ono
menus or another, any plan lo fuse. Tbo i
silver leaders followed this up by asserting llmt I
any delegate who raised his voice against tho
triangular convention nomlncos, for whatever
alleged purpo-e, would piovu himself cine of
the tools purchusod with thu fundd of the oppo
sition. When tho delegates commenced to nrrlvo In
tho capital they were met by well selcned
reception committees, consisting mostly uf
State olllciuls and their assistants. 'I he duty
of these committees win lo slay with Ihclr del
egates, o talk to them of tho lu-iou plans, and
tell them blood and thunder stories of the pile
of goldbuif money Hint was lining riri-ulnitil
in Llniohi to contaminate the delegatus. Iho
tendency was to brand uny delegnto who was
at all inclined to be independent or to tippnio
tho plans previously 1(( by .Mr. llryan mid
other state leaders as n tool of tho uppoiillnu.
'I his really scared uianj Mld.llc-uf-the-lio.id men.
When tho convention-, wero organized the
biilldolng went eien further. All the pro
siding olticcTS had been arranged by tho Lin
coln rlugstcrs, and thev wero prepared to act
quiikl). Men wero stationed in different parti
of all tho halls and tho moment, a delegate
gavu any sign of resisting the commlttco plans
ho wus assaulted with ouch taunts as ''iiow
much did J Sterling pay you I" "How long
havo you been a gonlbiigl" "Thought ou
wero elected u dclc-,;ate to a silver conven
tion." "Ilet out of Iho hall if you want to bo
tray your friends."
'Ibis was kein mp until men who nro ns sin
cere silver ad i o. kites as William Jennings
llryan, und who merely wanted to assert their
holiest convictions that this or that . nn.ll.Ui.,
win tho stronger or the we.iker. wero forced
In bo silent ut the risk of being stumped us po
litical traitors.
When the Independent bcntlment becnino too
strong In any hall, llryan was rushed into that
particular convention, nnd his preseine and
slago play oratory were depended on to Bllcnco
all opiHisillon. It ready did causo such en
thusiasm taut tho voice of the oppu-dllon was
drowned' In tho hurrah for Ilrvuti. Tho silver
louler went so far In tho bulldozing tnctlcH
personally that at 10 o'clock mi the night of
thu 1st ho rushed into tho Populist convention
(having been hurriolly sent fori, wticro Will
T. .Meiiuiru of Furnas county was opposing

of three from eaih convention, nnd Ina furloiiM
manner, from Ihu platform, shaking his linger
nt Meljulru, scrcumed, "Wuu unto tho man
who dares stand In tho wuy of u union of our
forces at this time."
This was followed by moro violent languago
and worso demonstrations. Mcliiiire and hli
friends weru cons dumbly taken aback by Ibis
exhibition, 'hut as he has been n consistent sil
ver man und a leading citieu uf his communi

Senator Piatt nnd Prostdont Qulgg of tho New
York County Republican Commlttco had a long
talk at tho Oriental Hotel last night. During
tho day Mr. Qulgg, after his arrival from Klshor's
Island, bod talks, too, with his brethren of the
committee.
Chairman Charles W. Hnckott of tho Ilopub
llcnn Stato Commlttco will arrive In Now York
on Wednesday. Senator Piatt nnd other Ho
publicans havo been In communication with
Mr. Ilnckctt, nnd It was announced on excel
lent authority lnt night that tho Stato Com
mlttco will meet nt tho Fifth Avenue Hotel on
Sept. 18.
Tho announcement as to the forthcoming
meet ng of tho Stnto Commlttco Is Important,
In view of tho erroneous Btatomcnts mado
yesterday by Mugwump and antl-Ilcpubllcan
novvsp ipers lo tho offoct that there Is a Low
sentiment among tho Kepubllcnns In tho upper
part of tho State.
Senator ltalnosnud Rcprosentnttvo Ilcnjamln
I). Odoll, Jr., Chairman of tho Executive Com
mlttco of tho Slato Commlttoo, wero given as
authority for this statoment. lloth Mr. Ilalnos
and Mr. Odoll declared yesterday that thoy had
never given tho slightest ground for such a
statement, and It Is announced on tho
best authority that Senator Piatt, Gov, lllac-k.
Mr. O.lell, Chairman Hnckott, Superintendent
of Insurance Pnyn, Superintendent of Publlo
Works Aldrldge, nnd all other Hopubllcan
Stato leaders aro unaltorably opposod to the
stand taken by Jacob Worth In his advocacy of
tho candidacy of Scth Low as ugalnst the Ho
publlcan organization of Greater Now York.
All theso men nro old friends of Mr. Worth,
yot every ono of them has stated In personal
conversations their objection to his course,
which thoy know Is dictated by a policy
that Is Intended to help nlong Mr.
Worth's candidates in tho Kings County
Convention. In other words, Mr. Worth,
according to his critics, is simply using Mr. Low
for his personal purposes, and nothing moro;
and nil this Is contrary to tho nntlonal and
Stato doctrines of tho Republican party.
Tho doctrines of tho Republicans In tbolr State
Committee will be nnnounced In an address,
fully indorsed by all of tho Republican Stnto
leaders und by tho Stato Committee, nnd Mr.
Worth, when ho reads that document, will Und
himself in direct opposition to his old friends, for
the reason thit the substance of the address to
lie Issued by the Stnto Commltteo will ben. loptcd
by Iho Republicin Cily Convention when It
iisscmbles on Sept. 'JH. tho dale which will
bo urobablv agreed upon at a meeting of
the City Committee which President yulgg
will urobablv call this vvrnlr. Tttn ,liu.
I iiinent to bo Indorsed by tbo Stnto
Couiinlttco nt its meeting on Sept. 18. it
wassald, will Imj Ihe strongest kind of nn In
dorsement nf the MuKlnlcv Administration, of
Gov. lllack'sa Iministration and of Iho last Leg
islature, but above and beyond nil else, tho St.
I 1mls National ltepublicau platform will bo tbo
i keynote.
President Qulgg reiterated last night tho
views ho has recently expressed. He suld:
"I'nder nocircumst inces will the Republican
City Convention nominate or Indorse fctn Low,
I wbu-u nomination w as brought about by a hand
ful ot citizens whose ehlef ide i in lite Is I head-
v.ilieement of an ln.livl iu.il who his declared
th.il ha will fortmilnto his own plutfonn
und stand on It in opposition to the;
platform of thu Republican party Tho
Republicans cannot under nny circum
stances accept such u man. Someof thoso per
sons not in Ihe contldcnco of Itepuhllcans con
tinue day after day to insist tint tho It pub
liiam will be compelled tohomjnito or indorse
Mr. Ijiivv. How wofully mistaken these per
sons are ibuC ty Convention will show."
Hefore long Sen itor Piatt may uec-ule to say a
few words. Ills friends have advised him that
ns the Republican leader of Ihe Stale he should
tell the Republicans of the State and of Greater
New York the exact situation. It was the Re
publicans of the State who created Greater New
York. In passing It may also bo announced
that Mr. Worth's old friend, Superintendent of
Insurance Payn, Is directing an opposition to
him on this Law business. Mr. Pnyn said:
" II tbo Republicans of Greater New York
lower tho flag of tho Republican party one inch,
or by tho slightest word depart from tho princi
ples of tho party, they might as well disband
Ihclr organization at once. Any departure
from tho principles of tho Republican party
will bring about the destruction of tho organiza
tion In Greater New York."
The It. publican primaries, it wa3 said, will bo
calli .1 for Sent. -JO. unit by that time tho address
which will be Issued by the Republican Stato
Commltteo will hnvo been fully digested in all
Paris of Greater New York, und nf course Mr.
Worth and his Ijow boom, for Worth reasons
only, will bo overwhelmed In Ihe Cilv Conven
tion, which will meet on Sept. Sis.
The Republicans polntu I out last night that
the great olllccs of Greater New York should bo
held by nu'U who believe in tho St. Louis plat
form, and not by those who nro indifferent lo
tho great national issues which will surtly
present themselves ngiin in 111(H), or by
those who believe morning, noon, and night In
Ilrvanisin. anarchy, frco silver, and the disrup
tion of tho Government. Republicans who
havo not been In affiliation with the regular
organization In Now York county declared yes
terday that I hoy were opposed to Low Ism just
ns nun has they were to Ilryanism, and that
they would stand bv tbo regular organiz itlon.
Senator John M. Thurston of Nebraska, who I
was tho permanent Chairman of Ihe St. Louis
Convention which nominated MeKinlev, was I
at the Kit tli Avenue Hotel yestcrdnv. lie said: I
"Mr. Low's nomination by the Republican
organiz itlon would be thoroughly distasteful to
Republicans ull over tho country. I should feel
less nlurm for the success of tho anti-Tammany
tight if this spill for it is a split had not oc
elli red.
"This election will mean tho State In tho next
I'roil Initial election fur tho turty that wins It.
Republicans throughout tho nation arc there
fore Interested In Mils great light, since we can
not tlu'iiro In n Presidential election without
Now York Slate.
"This is n city nf great Importance and this
Isn turning point In its history which is fraught
witli iMissibllllies tbut may noil II ro tho pride of
all Americans."
Senator Piatt smiled last night nt tho reports
that ho Is In a " quandary." The Senator didn't
seem to l) in a "uunndury." The Citizens'
Union people seem to bo in u qunnd.irv, II any
body, it wus remarked, ns well us somo other
pcoplo who havo been a little hasty. Senator
Plait had nothing to say for publication at this
tlmo. Ha will suy what ho has to say in his on u
good time.
After Mr. Low sends his letter of nccoptnnco
to tho eighteen "palpitating patriots" of tho
Citizens' Union KxccutlveCommltteo. the afore
said "p ilpilatlng patriots "will get to work and
take bicds to Ull out their city ticket. After
Ibat thoy will lako steps lo nominate their
county ticket, and nil must be nomlnalod by pe
tition, oaeh eandldnto to seeuro 3,000 sworn
signatures. Nn. no. The Republicans do not
Hiein to bo in any quandary. It's tho othor fellows.
