Bryan’s Election Meant the Revival
of Business—ricKinley’s Despair.
It is not an uncommon occurrence to
hear people say, on the whole they think
it is well that Bryan was not elected, for
if he had been declared elected the fail
ures which have taken place and are con
tinuing to occur woul 1 have all been
attributed to that event, but the people
now see how grossly they have been
deceived, and will be likely to remember
their deceivers. We do not view the sit
uation in that way. The failures which
have taken place since the election would
have been largely curtailed had Bryan
been elected—we believe.
Relief was promised by the Bryan party
by a radical change in existing conditions,
and people would have looked for such
change and been buoyed up by that hope.
The banks would not have pushed their
creditors, because they knew it would
have made matters worse, and expecting
no favors from the party in power but
rather fearing that their acts of tyranny
would afford a club for their enemies,
would have put them on their good be
havior. There is not a greater tyrant than
the money power when it thinks it is free
from danger and not a greater coward
when it scents danger.
The entire hope of a change and revival
in business of the McKinley party rested
on the belief that what their leaders told
them was true —that everything was in
the best condition for business, there was
plenty of money and those who held it
were only anxiously waiting till they were
assured by the election of McKinley that
they might safely risk it in business, and
that all the mills and factories in the
country would immediately start.
Tens of thousands were forced to adopt
this belief, many against their better
judgment, it was so vehemently asserted,
and they were threatened with bankruptcy
if they did not submit to the money
power. The election over they see this
claim that everything was in a condition
to start up business was a villainous lie on
the part of their deceivers.
And now let us take a look at the other
side and suppose Bryan’s election had
been declared. We claim there would
have been no pushing out of claims.
The money class had everything to lose
by creating a panic. It would not place
them in control of the government. The
Bryan party had assured the business men
that nothing but more money would
revive business, but that it was not pos
sible to give effect to their policy till they
assumed the control of affairs. That no
one looked for. The prospect of more
money would have inspired every business
man with hope. There is little doubt that
the half of these business men who voted
for McKinley did so under the compul
sion of fear. Every business man has the
sense to know that more money in the
hands of the buyers means increase of
business and better prices to him. They
would have known that the election of
Bryan meant the remonetization of silver.
That was something to anchor hope to.
Silver bullion would have begun to rise
and with it prices. The very moment
prices began to move upward, hope would
have been strengthened, and that is con
fidence, confidence that there was to be
more money in the near future on which
to support confidence. The hoarded
money would have come out to share the
profits of business.
Sensible people never believed that the
election of Bryan meant panic and ruin.
The moneyed men did not believe it.
They used the threat to scare the ignorant
and to intimidate those who were under
obligations to them.
There was nothing ahead of McKinley’s
election to hope for when the lie, that
everything was prepared to start business,
was exposed by business not starting.
No, it was a great misfortune that
McKinley was counted in, that money
voted him in and not the free will of the
American people, and that Bryan was
counted out. More money was ahead of
Bryan’s election. An exploded lie fol
lowed McKinley’s, and the hundreds who
were hanging by the eyebrows gave up
and sank. Hope left them. If things
were not in condition to start, no other
prospect was pointed out by the McKin
ley leaders. They shifted to be sure and
made new promises and different ones
every day. The people have been de
ceived and place no confidence in their
promises any longer. But Bryan’s elec
tion contained a substantial promise, a
promise based on the most tangible thing
in business—more money, money made
of our own silver, digged from our own
mines. Silver, the money of the world
for three thousand years, money from the
dawn of civilization. This was the faith
Bryan’s election would have inspired in
the people. Hence we claim his election
would have prevented the thousands of
business failures that have taken place.
There is nothing but a dismal, dark
unknown before McKinley times, and the
people lose hope, shudder and shrink
from it. Despair seizes them and they
sink like drowning men—without a straw
to grasp.
A Reminder of Army Life.
Mr. Lou Smith, editor of the Commer
cial, Meyersdale, Pa., says: “A chronic
diarrhoea that returns at frequent inter
vals, as a reminder of army life, has been
more effectually controlled by Chamber
lain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrlioe Remedy
than any other I have ever used. It pos
sesses true merit.” For sale by Eli T.

■ Hiddle-of-the-Roaders.
The element known as the middle-of
road Populist shows itself in every new
movement among the people, religious or
> political. In the old abolition or anti
slavery movement they were known as
" comeouters,” in the prohibition move
ment the middle-of-the-roaders were
“conscience” voters, and so it is in every
i similar movement of the masses. These
stormy petrels are all self-constituted
- leaders but lack followers, because the
instinct of the people discern quickly that
‘ they possess no element of leadership.
This class generally ends as sellouts, or
consumed by their inordinate vanity and
* chagrined and disgusted by the refusal
1 of the people to follow them, they turn
traitors to their first love and desert to
5 the enemy.
Tom Watson, owing to peculiar sur
r roundings, kept up the delusion that he
was a popular leader, longer than most of
the class succeed in doiug but the hour at
, last struck which showed the smallness of
_ the man.
, Coxey was on the tantastic order, liav
r ing many traits of originality about him.
His road-making and non-interest bond ,
, scheme was partly his own invention and
1 partly picked up. The conception of
, presenting the plan to Congress by a pe
tition iu boots and the commonweal army
, was original and an unexpected success,
which turned Coxey's head He hoped
, to make the road-making scheme the
central demand or policy of the People's
r party and himself the leader and Presi
-1 dential candidate. Failing in this he
, determined, like Caesar, to cross the Ru
t bicon, and plunged into the St. Louis
, convention project.
Coxey was determined without further
. loss of time to ascertain where he and the
, good roads’ business stood in the estiuia
„ tion of the people and the People’s party,
j and he found out.
Of course every body knew the “non
] interest bond good roads” wild scheme
] had no chance of being tried and wouldn't
j work if it had been. Coxev’s St. Louis
, experience is like that of a greenhorn who
3 took a package of iron pyrites to a chemist
t to ascertain whether it were gold. The
chemist put some of the stuff on a shovel
t atul held it over the fire, when it soon
] disappeared. The astonished fellow ex
; claimed, “Well ! I've gone and married a
gal that has a hul’ mountain of that
t stuff.” The girl had caught him with
r “fool’s gold,” and Coxey’s St. Louis con
vention ought to teach him as much as
* _
, the chemist taught the country boy.
f And so it has ever been with this
s middle-of-the-road class. They all have
, “big heads but little wit.” Time always
, fixes their status.
r Preparing to Fight Racing.
1 A meeting was held last week in Elkton
i for the purpose of organizing against the
• racing and gambling in Cecil county.
; The object in view is to send such men to
: the legislature next winter as can be de
: pended upon not to sell out the people
' when they get there. This is what the
' thoroughgoing politician will do every
■ time he is trusted. We have made a long
f and careful study of the biped and his
1 habits and speak from a careful observa
? tion of his natural instincts. The report
5 of the meeting says :
1 “The meeting was non-partisan in
1 character and was presided over by Dr.
■ R. C. Mackall, Mr. J. M. Post acting as
8 secretary. There was a general discussion
5 of the subject participated in by John S.
f Wirt, Albert Constable, Sr., H. R. Tor
i’ bert and others. Mr. Wirt speaking for
f the Democratic party said that he had
• conversed with a number of the party
• leaders and that it was the unanimous
e opinion that the party would declare
1 against the racing. Other gentlemen
• promised the same for the Republican
' party.”
" The friends are ever ready to promise
1 anything for their party and we reckon
• they mean it in good faith, but if the
? people have no better security than
the party friends’ promises for the good
? performance of their agents, they are as
■ likely to be cheated in the future as they
• have been in the past.
• Mr. Constable then submitted the fol
r lowing resolutions which were unani
mously adodled :
WHEREAS, Cecil county is sorely afflict
-1 ed at this time by the curse of horse-race
, gambling.
Resolved:' That the sense of this meet
t ing, which is non-partisan iu character, is
that steps should be taken to secure the
' nomination to the next legislature bv
- both political parties of candidates pledg
-5 ed to secure legislation for the next Geii
f eral Assembly which shall abolish all
forms of horse-race gambling in Cecil
■ county.
) Resolved: Further, that a non-partisan
j committee of six he appointed by the
s chairman of this committee to consider
what steps should be taken to advance
r the cause for which this meeting is called,
- and to report to an adjourned meeting to
| he called by the chairman.
s The chair named George A. Blake, 11.
- R. Torbert, Wilson L Condon, L. Mar
r shall Haines, Wm. D. Bratton and Albert
Constable, Sr., as the committee.
' Good committee, good arrangement for
? business. Now let us all hear how the
; committee proposes to move upon the
> enemy’s works. The enemy has nine
> points of advantage. He has possession.
; And he has bribed the umpire if Elkton
1 is judged by its actions Elkton is a clear
1 case of the spirit is willing but the flesh is
• weak. If you would judge of the weak
ness of Elkton’s flesh look on the special
• pet of the town, the apple of her eye, the
; agricultural fair, which has been handed
: over bodily to the gamble! s and the
; motley racing crew. The whole unclean
' ,hi,, g was warmed into life, wet nursed
and dandled in its infancy by Elkton
They knew it had been driven out of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania at the point of
the sword, but they invited it to come
. and now they resolve and resolute against
: it, and the politicians are pledging their
. parties to its extermination. If this thing
> is to be ousted, not only intelligent men
. must be sent to the legislature but men
f that cal,,t be bought. It required the
. whole power of New Jersey and a pro
. longed fight to oust these professional
black-legs.
TESLA’S GRAND VISION.
Electricity Now at Worl; Transforming
the World’t* Affair*.
A sketch of the famous electrician,
Nikola Tesla, concludes with the state
ment of his belief that the development
of applied electricity will be the eman
cipation of mankind; that the labor
saving devices which may l>e operated
by the mysterious energy will reduce
the necessary hours of labor and level
the difference between the rich and the
poor. To that end he is bending his
energies and using his wonderful tal
ents for invention and investigation.
His purpose is a great and noble one;
bis belief is sublime—perhaps some will
say it is impractieaible and foolish.
It is a fact, however, that the achieve
ments of the era tha t begun with Amer
| icain independence and the untram
meled opportunity of man have made
it possible for twice as many people to
live comfortably within a given area
as before that time. The capacity for
production lias beenso enlarged and the
processes so cheapened that the fear
of overpopulating the earth lias been
forgotten, a.nd that, too, in the face cf
the most rapid increase of population
within historic times.
We are all accustomed to note the
tremendous increase in population in
this country, a large portion of which is
due to immigration, but it is not so com
mon to recognize the fact that the pop
ulations of the lands from which our
immigrants are drawn are increasing
more rapidly than they were a century
or half century ago. Yet such is really
the fact. Great Britain, Germany,
France, Italy, Austria, Belgium and
Holland, which were considered crowd
ed and in need of new lands to which
the surplus population might emigrate
a century ago, now conltain double the
population of that time and are not
overcrowded as they then seemed to be.
This wonderful change has been
(wrought by the invention of labor
saving machinery, by the development
| of applied steam power. The contrast
: of wealth and poverty has not been
abolished by any means, but the poor
have been made to enjoy some of the
comforts that could only be afforded
by the very wealthy a century ago. The
disco very of new applications for elec
trical energy has already added ma
terially to the world's resources, and it
is as certain as anything human can be
that this power will develop in many
more useful directions in the future.
It. is probable that it may do vastly more
than has been done by steam to support
added population, if not to wipe out the
differences of wealth.
Robert Fulton’s invention for the ap
plication of steam pow er for useful pur
poses has not only made it possible to
produce from a given area the necessi
ties and comforts for a doubly dense
population, but it has made accessible
vast regions that were formerly inac
cessible. It lias made it possible for all
the iicople of the earth to exchange
commodities; it has opened the interior
of the American continents to the world,
and is rapidly opening the almost un
known regions of Africa and Asia to
production and commerce. The Si
berian railroad alone—made possible by
tliis American invention—has opened to
settlement a region capable, with pres
ent devices, of supporting a popula
tion twice as great as that the Russian
empire contains at present.
But all that- steam lias done to ad
vance civilization ainil contribute to the
wants of mankind may be eclipsed by
the young giant, applied electricity. It
is possible that discovery of processes
for generating the current direct from
coal and means of conserving the gen
erated energy may so cheapen light,
heat, and power that- all mankind may
be supplied with the. necessities and
comforts of life almost without labor.
That is Mr. Tesla’s thought. To the
man unfamiliar with what lias been
accomplished in the field of applied elec
tricity it may seem like a hazy dream
of the unattainable. But to Mr. Tesla,
deep in the mysteries of a wonderful
energy that seems to pervade the whole
universe, it is the distinct perception of
that from which he is divided by only a
thin veil,‘and which he might view face
to face if he could but find the means to
rend the curtain.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Unique Works of Art.
The fire loss at Guayaquil, the sea
port of Ecuador, by its destruction of
the principal church, has wiped out
two of the most unique works of art in
the whole of South America, if not in
the world. There were a couple of large
frescoes flanking the altar. On one side
was shown the Return of the Prodigal
Son. The prodigal was attired in the
tattered remnants of a full-dress suit
of the days of the Regency, gilt-but
toned dress-coat, black satin breeches,
silk stockings, frilled shirt and chapeau
lie was being welcomed by
his father in like array, and by his
mother and sisters in short-waisted,
short-skirted gowns of embroidered
muslin and sandaled slippers, to a
mansion richly furnished in empire
style. The subject on the opposite
side was the Sacrifice of Isaac, who
was garbed as a medieval page, while
Abraham, in a furred gown and plumed
lint, was preparing to take his life, not
with a sacrificial knife, but with a
gigantic blunderbuss, a genuine tra
buco. It is to be hoped that photog
raphy lias preserved the memory of
these matchless art treasures, winch,
notwithstanding their eccentricity,
were by no means badly drawn, though
somewhat crudely colored. Buffalo

Natural Sympathy.
Freddy was looking tlrrough a big
picture book, when he came to a picture
of Daniel in the lion's den, and lie forth
with began to cry.
“Don’t cry, Freddy,” said his mother;
“those lions aren’t going to hurt Dan
iel.”
“I’m not crying about that,” said
Freddy. “There’s a little lion there,
and Daniel’s so small, I’m afraid the
little lion won’t get any,”—Harper's

“Nothing too good for our customers."
CLOTHING.
Some people make assertions because it costs nothing; others
make assertions because they have no knowledge of the value of
honesty; but there is a class of people who make assertions because
they know what they say is true. We are of the latter class, and
when we make the assertion that our Clothing is the best known to
the trade, we do so with the knowledge that our assertion can be
proven by the goodness, tine lifting qualities, splendid materials
and artistic effects of the Clothing itself.
People everywhere are looking to save money; they are seek
ing the best value for their dollar. rt’s every man’s right and
privilege and duty to do so. We solicit patronage solely on the
question of merit; every garment we sell is made on honor and will
wear satisfactorily, and our prices are absolutely and without ex
ception the lowest. People are beginning to understand that Good
Linings, Good Tailoring, Good Style and Good Trimmings are just
as essential to a first class Suit as Good Fabrics; therefore, we make
our motto read: “Nothing too good for our customers.”
Give us your order this season and let us demonstrate that our
way is the easiest, safest and most satisfactory, and by far the most
economical way of buying anything you need in the Clothing line.
