! THE SAKE OLD TACTICS. s
' as tne time for tne election ap
proaches the corporations are show
ing their hands and bringing pres
sure to bear on their employes to
make them rote for McKinley, We
haTe recently presented a number of
instances of this where firms haTe
published statements to the effect
that they had orders for articles of
their manufacture with the proviso
that these orders were to be consid
ered cancelled in the erent of the
election of Wm. J. Bryan. They
began this thing before the cam
paign got well under way and hare
kept it up steadily since, until now
instances of this kind are of daily
.occurrence.
As in 1896, there seems to be
concert of action and a similarity of
phraseology in : the. announcements
made by these bulldozing firms,
which indicate a common inspira
tion which could doubtless be traced
to Mark Hanna, Nerer before
Hanna came to the front as a politi
cal manager were such methods re
sorted to, for nerer before had any
party such a thoroughly unscrupu
lous manager or one who had such
an utter contempt for public opinion.
With him the chief object has
always 'been success, regardless of
the methods by which it is achieved.
In tiew of the fact that this mean
and systematic method of intimida
tion was nerer resorted to before
then and has regularly been since,
it is fair to assume that he was the
originator and the moving power
- . behind- them.
A few days ago it was announced
that several furnaces in New York
owned by the M. A. Hanna com
pany .had been Indefinitely closed
throwing several hundred men out
ox employment. , it was not so an
nounced but the men who were thus
tnrovn out ox employment were
doubtless told that the opening of
the furnaces would depend upon the

xestus ox ine; coming election ana
- that in the event of McKinley' elec
tion they would open much sooner
- thanif Bryan Is elected, in which
case they might never resume opera
tions. This would be in keeping
with most of the notices sent out to
which we hare referred above. To
show the extent to which they are
carrying this game of intimidation
;we quote the following dispatch
i from Chicago to the New York

Half a million dollars ia monthly
weces is thus shut off, though orders
enough to keep the mill baiy for more
ibeu four months are lo hand."
The Pennsylvania Railroad alone
has uncompleted orders for 60,000 tons
of rail. -- --- -...
Despite these known facts, President
Baffington, of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, made the following statement:
' "We have few orders ahead, and
none for immediate delivery; We will,
of eoune, Avail ourselves of the oppor
tunity to make repairs; but the time
for re-opening will depend entirely
upon the rapidity with which orders
for rails come in."
But he lets the cat ontof (the beg
in the next few sentences:
Our lareest customers in all lines
tell us that they dont care to place any
orders till after they know what the
result of the election will be. This
statement it, r in,- general, true of all
lines of steel manufacture. . I ennnot
venture any prediction yet as to
whether the shutdown will last longer
than two weeks or not."
That tells the whole story. It la ex
acUy a repetition of the tactics of 1896:
"vote for McKinley or lose your
job."
The Democratic leaders have warned
the country for several months that
the corporationi and trusts would em
ploy these tactics.
As far as appears there is no an
nouncement that the railroads will
cancel their orders if Bryan is elect
ed. They couldn't if they would,
for they must have rails for repair
ing of tracks, even if so new mile
age were laid, and we know the fact
that many of these orders have been
placed without any condition, save
that the companies making them
will get the benefit of any reduction
in price when tne deliveries are
made. The Pennsylvania road, one
of the greatest in the country, has
made contracts for 150,000 tons,
and this is the only condition.
In the campaign of 1896 the read
ing pubuc became pretty laminar
with this shameful system of intim
idation, and the wonder is that the
same men would again undertake
to play the same game upon their
workmen, but they have either come
to the conclusion that the people
have short memories or they are ut
terly lost to a sense of common de
cency. The fact that they do re
sort to such disreputable methods
again shows that they have become
desperate and will do anything to
win.
This was supposed to be a free
country where the citizen voted in
accordance with his judgment and
convictions, without dictation or in
timidation. It wasn't so in 1896,
when thousands of men were either
led to the polls or driven to the polls
and coerced into noting for the men
they didn't want to, but had to for
feat of losing the work on which
they depended to feed, clothe and
house their families, and it will not
be this time if these infernal
schemers successfully play their
game.
If they succeed now we may ex
pect the same thing four years hence
and at every election when the in
terests of corporations are involved.
How much better off are the men
who are thus influenced or coerced
to vote against their convictions,
than the slave, who does the work of
a master, and is cared for, fed and
clothed? Suchia man is a freeman
only in name.
A GRASD DKHOSSTRATIOH".
The Democrats of New York city
promised Wm. J. Bryan a rousing
reception when he came to their
city and right royally did they keep
their promise when he entered the
gates last Tuesday. A more en
thusiastic reception was never given
to any Presidential candidate, even
in tnat great city ox millions, wnere
immense crowds are not uncommon.
But it isn't so much the great crowds
that greeted him, nor the elaborate
preparations to lend attractiveness
to the occasion, as the spirit that
animated the people that is note
worthy. Those people, numbered by the
many thousands, gathered on tne
streets and packed the halls and
the squares where the speaking took
place to see and to . hear Bryan.
There were other distingniahed per
sons there, other eloquent speakers,
men who on ordinary occasions could
entertain and sway large crowds,
but they were back numbers on this
occasion, for those thousands of
people wanted to hear Bryan and
Bryan only.
Why ? Not simply because he is
a candidate for the Presidency or
because he is gifted with a fascina
ting eloquence, but because he rep
resents and advocates principles
which are dear to the American who
treasures the traditions of his
country and the teachings of the
fathersrand .because they believe
him to be thoroughly sincere and
honest in what he professes and ad7
vocates. They know this sincerity
and honesty has stood the test, and
that the man they honor can be
trusted and will prove. true to them.
That's why they admire this great
tribune of the people, and greet him
as people greet only the men they;
trust and love. . !

;' '; NOT JLS IN 1896.: r:-:
r Frank AV Richardson," correspon
dent of the Baltimore Stui, sent. his
paper aj yery interesting' letter on:
the situation in Ohio," written I
Cincinnati, under rdate of the Uth
inst. He does not claim that the
Democrats will carry the State, but
points out the indications favorable
to them. Speaking of the cities, he
says: . -
"Four Tears asro this big city (Cin-
oinmtiY wii alive with McKinlev ban-
nn and stream era: mere were mc-
Kinlev business men's headquarters of
one kind or another in nearly every

McKinley were in full blast, the Be

active and-untirinsr. while the Demo
crsts were so despondent and disheart
nAd thev did not even make a pre
tenee of keeninar their nominal bead-
anarters onen. If there are so many
as half a dozen .banners hung out at
this time in all the extensive business
district, where in 1896 there were nun
dreda and hundreds, I have failed to
see them.
What is true of Cincinnati is true of
the other laree cities of the State.
The Republican local campaign com
mittees seem to be dolus: no business;
the leaders do not appear to care to
discuss politics. It is less than four
weeks from, the election, and while
there have been a few insignificant
ward meetings there has been no gen
era! party Catherine in Cincinnati-
nothing offered to bring the people
out in mass.
The Democrats of Cincinnati and
Hamilton county are at work this
time. They have received no aid from
the National Committee, but they hare
collected a very respectable campaign
fund right at home. Among the con
tributors to this are severs! or tbe
wealthy men of the party who roted
for McXinlevfin 1896 and sent what
money they had to spare to Mr-
Hanna.
"One of these gentlemen u the head
of a laree manufacturing establish
ment In 1896 he organized a Me
Kinlev business men's association
among his own employes and carried
them to the polls with mm to vote ror
McKinlev. He has now informed his
men of his intention to vote for Brian,
and said to them they can vote for
whom they please.
"Four years seo the national banks
of Cincinnati, like all the national
banks elsewhere, dumped a handsome
sum into the lap of Mr. Hanna with
out remonstrance or objection from
any quarter. Democratic stockholders
and directors recently served notice
that this could not be done again.
"Six biar railroads have central head
quarters in this city. In 1896 they
marshalled their employes in one
solid mass, from the highest to the
lowest grade, and voted them for Ate
Kinlev. Not a syllable, not a whis
per has crone to these employes, and
they are besrinning to think their con
sciences as men and their liberty
citizens are not again to be interfered
with. Perhaps, as has been suggested.
the railroads are waiting to issue their
edict until within a few days of the
eleceion. Or it may be they have
reached the conclusion it is not wise
to be forever undertaking to herd
their men and deliver them over like
cattle to the Republican party.
"The Democrats in their meetings
hsre scarcely touched upon the ques
tion of silver, but have confined them
selves to trusts and imperialism. The
Republicans try hard to keep silver to
the front, but the people do not want
it and show no interest in it Oeorge
Fred Williams had a big Democratic
meeting near here a few nights since.
He talked nothing but trusts and lm
perialism. and the people went wild.
"The voters of Ohio certainly take
an interest in both these paramount
issues. 'Over the Rhine' mutterings
about trusts are heard just as in the
street ears and just as among that great
army which carries the dinner paii.
"The endless chain prayer for the
defeat of McKinley,. started by the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, ascends daily from the homes
of Ohio. Republican women are thick
among tbe supplicants, and when tfs
pablican wives are praying daily for a
particular thing it is not unlikely to
have more or les effect upon Kepubli
can husbands. It is claimed the result
of this endless chain invocation will be
the diversion of some thousands of Re
publican votes to the Prohibition
ticket."
These are unquestionably encour
aging signs for the Democrats, but
the potent factor is in the rural dis
tricts where the Republicans have
heretofore had a much stronger foot
hold than the Democrats, and it is
on these that the Republicans
mainly rely this year. But they are
not as sure of them by any means
as they have been in the past, for
there is a change in sentiment going
on that makes it very difficult to
forecast results with anything like
certainty. As illustrating this the
correspondent quotes a prominent
Republican as follows:
"A very prominent Republican offi
cial whose name I would like very
much to mention, but, of course, can
not, has just said to me in the presence
of three or four others that it was all
guesswork as to how Ohio would go.
" We may have 40,000,' he said; 'we
may have. 10,000; we may have noth
ing.' "I asked him as to Hamilton county.
He said:
" 'I hope we may have 5,000 here.'
"This brought to mind the political
inconsistencies of this county and how
the most careful and elaborate calcu
lations -in regsrd to it have so fre
quently been brought to naught. It
holds the banner for the greatest po
litical flops and somersaults anywhere.
It has given 10,000 majority at one
election and a month afterward re
versed it by as much or more for the
other-side. - It gave Greeley a msjority
of severs! thousand - in 1873 when his
candidacy had. completely collapsed
several weeks before. Republicans
hope for 6,000 for McKinley now, when
it gave him four times as much four.
years ago. It may give him 20,000 xaA
November, or it may go against him
by thousands.

The Southern spot markets failed to

clining any where from fc to fc under ;
the pressure of receipts, witii ex-'

ing a disposition to wait for still lower

without continued bu(l;sh leadership
at Liverpool. : Accounts from the cot-,
