The formation of the Lawyers' Sound Money Club of New York, with ex-Seerotary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle aa 113 Ijrvaiuvui, v?.u 14. sivui towards convincing the optimistic following of Bryan that the Gold DemocratB are not flocking to the Nebraskan's standard as they have been deluded' Into believing. Among the members of the club are many influential Democrats who cannot stomach the financial heresies of the candidate of 1896, and who Is now, more than then, hopelessly committed to them. Alongside the of the name cf Mr. Carlisle wc find that of Francis L. Stetson, a former law partner of .Mr. Cleveland's. These men have been and are closer to the ex-President than Mr. Olney, whose advocacy of Bryan's election was supposed to foreshadow the recant* atlon of Cleveland. If we are to draw Inferences In the absence of any public Utterances on Mr. Cleveland's part, we think it Is much safer to be guided by tho action of Carlisle and Stetson than the attitude of Mr. omcy. utner prominent Democrats have conncctcil themselves with this sound money ciub to oppose Bryan's election, such as exGovernor Hoadly, former governor of Ohio; Wheeler H. Peckham, George I. Rives and Franklin Bartlctt, all men of distinction and of national reputation. The principles and purposes of the club, :is expressed In resolutions adopt, ed at the meeting, are "allegiance to the principle of the gold standard," and condemnation of the "revolutionary doctrines" reafllrmed In *ie nomination of Bryan Accordingly, these dlfltln- i gulahed lawyers announce unreservedly "that In our opinion, the defeat of Messrs. Bryan and Stevenson Is essential to thtf permanent and elllclent maintenance of the gold standard of value In this country." In commenting on the formation of the club, the New York Sun says: Mr, Carlisle, then of Kentucky, ns secrotury of the treasury In the cabinet .of Mr. Clcvclund long ugo declared the allcgl mico to which ho now remains faithful, isvi expounded sound currency doctrines with tt power and lucidity of statement unexcelled. Ho now refuses to follow the examDl? of Mr. Richard Olney, thy only other man In that cabinet- standing on an Intellectual level with him, In a sacrflcd af his consistency and his reputation ns a statesman to short-sighted Ideas of political expediency. Mr. Carlisle, too, Is ft man of southern birth, a life-long Democrat of grout distinction In his party. As a correspondent from Georgia says in a letter published elsowhero In this papur, It 1h "a ere at severance" tor such a man to put himself. In an attitude of seeming hostility to the Democratic party: and when It Is made It Is Indicative of the profoundest and flncerest conviction. But neither In the case of Mr. Curllsle nor in tha>; of anv other Koutbcrner or any other of the distinguished Democratic lawyers of Now York associated with him In the organization and direction of this club, can it now be ?ettarded in nny quarter as an abandonment >f Democratic dpctrlne and principle. They turn from Uryan and the Chicago and Kansas City platforms because they repullato them as false to Democracy and fatal to It. They associate themselves with Ilcpubllcniis distinguished at the bar simply for the patriotic purpose of contributing their ability nnd fnlluenco to defeat un assault on our social stability und national security and honor, and Incidentally to relieve the Democratic party from an odious Incubus put upon it. Presidential Forecast. The New York Herald has made a poll of the states, which foreshadows an overwhelming victory for President McKinley. The probable volte in thp electoral college that will be cast for McKinley is 258; as against 1G8 for Bryan. West Virginia is very properly placed In the McKinley column. The doubtful states, according to the Herald's estimate, are Idaho, with three votes, Indiana fifteen, Montana three, a total of 21. In 1806 the vote for McKlnlcy wus 271; Bryan, 176. In analyzing this forecast the Herald says: There nro only thrco states about which the correspondent will not hazxurd an opinion. These aro Indiana, Idaho and Montana, with a total of 21 electoral votes. McKlnley's strength comes irom the New England nnd Middle states. Including: Delaware; from the Middle Western states, Including West Virginia and excluding: Indiana; from the far western Rtate of Kansas; from the northwest, Including the Dakotas and Wyoming, and from the unbroken Pacific coast. Bryan's strength Is mado up of the almost solid south, excepting West VlrKlnla, and of Nebraska. Colorado and Utah. Even should Bryan carry all the doubtful states, Including Indiana and odd Illinois, West Virginia and Delaware to the list, he would have only 222 electoral votes, or live less than a majority of the electoral college. This Indicates that to be elected Bryan must carry New York. Investigation of conditions In this state have been made, and there aro no signs on the surfnee to Indicate that New York Is doubtful. Nothing short of a political revolution can give the election to Bryan. McKlnley will hold all the states he carried In 1896, excepting Maryland and Kentucky. which show an Inclination to ro for Bryan, and Indiana, which Is doubtful. and Is the scene of a desperate political conflict. Bryan, on the other hand, will hold the states ho had In 1S9G, with the exception * of Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Washington, which are now reported, rea- ' sonably certain to cast their electoral vote? for McKlnley, and Idaho and Montana, which are conceded to be doubtful. ^ I Bryan and the Farmers. 1 In his speech accepting: the nomina- 1 tlon for the Presidency by the Populist 1 convention, which met at Sioux Falls, ( at Topeka, Kansas, August 22, Mr. Bry- ' an solemnly assorted that "the pros- 1 perlty argument which the Republicans 1 bring forward will not deceive the for- 1 mer." Later Mr. Bryan, while in West I Virginia, oracularly exclaimed tha.t he 1 did not see "how a farmer could be a 1 Republican." 1 Now, let us see how the "prosperity argument" comes home to the fanner. If the crops increase In value because * the Republican party restored the pro- i tectlve tariff policy that started, up the 1 mills, reopened the factories and put i millions of Idle men to work, thereby ^ Increasing the sale of the farmer's crops ? then it has brought prosperity to the farmer, and no idle and false assertions ? to the contrary can obscure this great fact. From the ofTlcIal records in the department of agriculture It is pointed out that the leading farm crops, Including the value of horsus, mules, cows, other cattle and sheep, show an Increase in 19G0 in total value, compared with 189G? one year?of $S3G,640,209. Included In this total value the Items consist of farm animals to a value of 5501,444,474! corn, 5138,20:1,143; cotton. $71,221,163; oats, 56'),G62.1M2: hav. *23.780,573: potatoes. 517.- . 146.4S2; \vh?at, JS.942.7C0; barley, $7,103,- 1 015; ryt, 12,253,349. Add to the above figures the greater j value procured by the farmers for their tobacco, broom-corn and other crops, and the year's Increase will reach fully j a billion dollars. Farmers know that their condition to-day Is batter than j when they were selling 10c corn and 12c { oats during the last Democratic admin- { istratlon. They know that open factories are better than "imperial" soup houses. They know that active con- t sumption is better than under consump- ( tion. They know that active consump- , tion can exist only when the mills are j open and the people are earning wagon ^ and have money to spend. Bryan's Calamity Howl won't deceive the American farmers. I ( A Common Sense View. j "The Wall Street Point of View" is j the title of a new book by Henry Clews, c the prominent banker and financier, ar.d withal a most conservative observer. It is a state of cause and effect t from the financial standpoint. The J American Economist, referring to the , work, says: "There are thos? who will dispute some of his conclusion*; because i he Is a banker and a financier, and be- ( cause these conclusions do not lit In with their political views. Advocates of free fliver and free trade will not s like Mr. Clews' book. Adherents of * the Cobdenlte school will not relish the manner In which the author reviews the effect on the business Interests of the ' two Cleveland administrations as contrasted with those of President Harrison and President McKlnley. For ex- J] ample, the American free trader Is quite ( certain to have an uncomfortable mo- e ment when he encounters the following passage, In which Mr. Clovya shaitters the theory that the price or an article Hold is increased by the duty on thai article." / Mr. Cleveland could have hnd thin iirgu itmmll llllRW'rifu |ihiwiii;hiij uim n-nimi uj r the singlo oporatlon of purchasing a vnrd i>r ruileo ?t contH und then looking hi thu IIhI (if turlF prices ami finding that tho tarlfT upon a yard of calico was # renin. Of course Mr. Cleveland would .say he iniiht pay 11 cents for It. "Oil. no," ilio dry goods man would answpr, "we don't charge two prices. This Ih a one-prico house." Tho dr>' goods nan might tnrih'-r reply: "It Ih a condition that confronts ui*?not a theory. Your theory |? 11 rents, our price In 6." Tho name rulo i?ppllc? Iti the majority of ensen. In the matter of tho practical workings of a protective tariff in relation to prices of commodities, "Thu Wall Street ^ point of View" Ih ulso the common g sense point of view. Witness tho fol- C lowing riicital by Mr. CJowb of tlusdls- . Lstrous changes wrought by the election )f A Democratic free trade admlniHtralion .eight years ago: .The lout year of the Harrison admlnlsration, l?"-', was ono of the most prosperous in the history of the country, and f General Harrison had been re-elected, here is every reason to believe that the tame conditions would have continued. :t would have been a continuous chain vithout a break: but when Harrison left he white house the scene was changed. General Harrison had not long taken his leparture when the ominous forebodings >f tho Wilson' bill took hold or the minds >f tho people. What wus the result? }ur manufacturing industries were mralyzed, we had another panic on our lands, and the struggle against the ma* iKii influences of free trudo went on un11 MoKinley was elected. When Mr. Cleveland took possession of ho white house March 4. ISlfl, the counry was prosperous. When ho went out of jfllce, March 4. 1897, the country was alno?t on the verge of bankruptcy, and tho vorst prolonged depression that tho naIon has ever experienced prevailed during: ho greater part of the time. Had it not >een for the agitation regarding free rndo theories, together with certain other Jtoplan schemes of reform, the good times vhlch the country enjoyed during tho last fear of General-Harrison's administration ffould in nil probability have been conJnued Indefinitely. "What the triumph of the free trade Democracy cost the people of this :ountry," adds the Economist, "will never be known. To say that tho cost In money and values was five times the :ost of the war of tho rebellion is to state the case conservatively. Shrinklge in values,In farm products alorco luring "That Terrible Eclipse" is estimated at fully 55,000,000,000. Add to this the loss In earnings in all occupations and the shrinkage in all values ind the sum total of loss reaches a tlgjre too vast for comprehension. The raters of tho country will within the lext six weeks decide whether we shall niter unon another such nnrlod of ruin md loss, or whether wo shall Insure a jontinuatlon of good times. Strange that there should be any difference of jplnlon on such a question!" Mr. T. R. Carskadon's complaint lgainst the Intelligencer is not well founded. If he consults the Intelll;encer of the date of September 28, he ivlll see the reference this paper made :o his communication. Among other things tho Intelligencer said that the luestions the Prohibition candidate ivould like to discuss were abstract ones, and bearing no relevancy whatever to the more momentous poJUca! issues nt stake. Such a debate vould only bo a distraction, without iny tangible results. Mr. Carskadon cr.ows this himself. The Intelligencer rave the gist of Mr. Carskadon's chalenge to Senator Elkins and Hon. A. tt. White. If those gentlemen have no: ?een lit to notice It, we do not see how this paper is to blame. In spite of Mr. Bryan's dismal walls luuut U1B UL'lJIUrUUJ? CUUU1UUU UL U1U vorklngmen they appear to be getting llong very well. In a recent Issue of i publication devoted to the Interests >f workingmen, we note that the memaers of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers In New York, to the number of 1,200, have hud their wages Increased 'rom $3 50 to $3 75 per day. The same publication claims that the Moulders' nternatfonal Union has secured an average Increase of 15 per cent in wages luring the past year. "What I denounce is a protective ;ariff. It is false economy, and the nost vicious political principle that las ever cursed this country."?Will- 1 am Jennings Bryan, in a speech in :lie house of representatives, 1894, idvocating the passage of the Wil;on-Gorman free trade tariff law. The Democrats of Colorado take a re'reshlng view of the assaults made on jovernor Itoosevelt. They denounce he action of the toughs, but blame thi mtbreak on the Republicans?saying hey ought not to have brought the gov;rnor of New York into the state. That s about as shifty as Bryan In regard o dodging responsibilities. In spite of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's otter announcing he would support President McKinley, although he did jot ugree with him In his Philippine Jolicy, the Boston nntl-impcrluli.st cayx 1 claim him as one of them. Wouldn't it bo better for Mr. Slxto Lrfjpez, Agulnaldo's former secretary, tu , Jrevall on Ills former chief to lay down . lis arms before he presumes to tell i :his country what kind of a government ! ,ho Filipinos desire? John G.-Carlisle, secretary of -the : reasury under President Cleveland, has 1 :ome out openly for McKlnley. This ,\1ll not please the Bryanltes. for they lad high hopes some days ago that hey could drag him to their assistance. 1 Mr. Bryan may deny it as much as j le likes, but It is a dead certainty that i broker will dispense the patronage in * Sew York and dictate a cabinet ap- \ iolntment If the disaster of Bryan's flection should happen. -o- , Boss Croker thinks Roosevelt Is roai nean In associating his name with the Sew York Ice Trust.
