Sound Money Democrats.
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.

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 *
