The advocates of the gold stand ard make a habit of parading their ; honesty and talking about keeping faith, but they are not honest, and they are not. keeping faith withvthe people. ' Up to the time of the meet- , ' . ing of the National Democratic con y . vention they all,' withojut a single, ex- - ception as far as we 'know, professed Jto be bpietallists, ahd the strongest plea they made against pledging the , . party to the free and unlimited coin ) age of silver at a ratio of . 16 to 1 1 '- was that it might interfere with the establishrient of bimetallism by. . other po-verp, which was only "a question f time, they said, if this y ' Governiuc-it did not move too pre cipitately. r;-s'u V They pleaded for a reiteration of the financial plank of 1892 with the : exception of that portion referring to the Sherman act, for which there was no occasion, that part of the f plank having been carded into effect. Of cojirse their purpose in that was , to fool the people, who were demand- 'j ing the restoration of silver, byplay-. l Ing a blind like the platform of 1892. As soon as they flocked to them and got their heads together at In dianapolis they showed, their insln : cerity and that they didn't mean . word of what they said at Chicago , when they were trying to cajole the majority into playing mum on free coinage and following their lead on x . the grand straddle. Perhaps this is " what these self lauding, typically honest patriots call honesty. They not only tried to play a game of deception, on the Chicago convention, but when they got to building their platform at Indian - apojis they ignored bimetallism, and "international agreement," which they used as a bait at Chicago, and declared straight out for the gold standard without any lfs,r ands or provisos. .-In this they broke faith with the people. There isn't one of them who was not in favor of the repeal .of the Sherman act, which - they in 1892 characterized as "a cowardly makeshift." They were in favor of the unconditional repeal, and they got it. Before that repeal- lag act was passed, however, Senator Hill, who then wa? and still claims td be a bimetallist, (with gold lean ings,) had incorporated Into that re pealing act a clause which declared it to" be the policy of the United States "to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver Into coin of equal intrinsic and exchange able value, such equality' to be se cured through international agree ment or by such safeguards of legis lation as will Insure the maintenance of the parity of value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times I the markets and in the payments of debts." . ' :;:: This is substantially a reiteration of the language of the platform of 1892 on the same subject, and was a pledge of the Congress which re pealed the purchase clause of the Sherman act "to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money." As President Mr. ; Cleve land urged the repeal of the Sherman act and approved the bill repealing it containing this reiteration of the declaration in the platform of 1892. As Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Carlisle approved it, as they all did, and yet we find Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Carlisle, and all the other members of the Cabinet, endorsing a platform which absolutely ignores this pledge and declares for making gold alone (not gold and silver) "standard money." In that platform there is no reference to silver as "standard money," to international agreement, or to any other agreement or condi tion upon which the free coinage of silver might be continued or bimet allism adopted. If silence some times bespeaks contempt ' they showed their contempt for silver and for bimetallism by treating them with silent contempt. ' .; , ' j ... Secretary Carlisle j has. recently taken a step in advance ' by intimat ing a contingency in which the silver dollar might be put upon the same plane with the - Government notes and be redeemed in gold if,' as he says, this should become necessary to maintain the parity. How is that for a Secretary of the Treasury and a member . of an administration which approved, the bill repealing the purchase clause of the Sherman act, with. Senator Hill's Democratic platform amendment ? Who ever heard of "standard money" being "redeemed" in other; standard money ? This is creating a differ ence by thedictum of Sectetary Carlisle, or the administration, be tween! two"! things which are by law made 'the equal of each other, and were always' considered equal until arbitrary interpretations of the law made a distinction in fa vor of gold- as against silver, and treated one as a standard money of final redemption and the other as a mere subordinate or token money. But they should cease talking about "honesty" or "good faith,", and should begin to think of the rackety time they will have when in addition to the outstanding paper of the Gov ernment they undertake to redeem the $600,000,000 of stiver we have with gold. When we think o Mr. Carlisle as he was in 1878 and look upon him as he stands and talks; now it is hard to realize , how. he could have travelled so far from his Demo cratic landmarks in so short a time. HDJ0& MEBTlOff. The gold manipulators on the other side of the water and the gold manipulators on this side pull pretty well together, because their interests are Identical and what help one helps the other. As an illustration, we quote the following by cable from London: "The Statist, in an article on . the po litical and financial situation in the United States, says that, although the prospects of Bryan's election to the Pre sidency are lessening, it is still advisable that Englishmen should not invest in American securities. " "How great is the distrust that exists in New New York." the Statist adds ' is evident in the small number of applica tions which have .been. made this week for the city of New York loan. For the first city in the United State to be un able to raise money at Z per cent., re payable In gold, is striking: to say the least.' " . ; . - j. . Ever since the agitation of the sil ver question began, one of the stand ing arguments against iwwas that it would "shake confidence : abroad,-" and that we couldn't borrow any money over there, or dispose of American securities, and that those that were held would be sent back and dumped on us. , To verify these predictions the : fellows on the other side who were co operating with the gold man ipulators on this; side would peri odically announce that they had no money, to lend Americans, that they would not touch American securities with a forty-foot pole, and occasion ally they would send a lump of 'them to be dumped on Wall street JThis was all a part of. the prearranged programme to scare American voters and prevent them from voting for free silver While they,: were doing that the big banks on . this side re fused to buy municipal and other bonds, which they1 had been in the habit of jumping at, , alleging as a reason that in the uncertain state of affairs they didn't deem it advisable to put their money where it would get beyond call when they needed it' which accounts for the s?owales of such bonds. But . the fact is they Have played these fakes so much, and have been publishing dispatches like the above so often that the public see inrougn toenj and don't scare worth a cent. - Mr. John Russell Toung, writing in the New York Herald, expresses the belief that the Republican man agers , made a great mistake from a party, standpoint when they made issue with the Democrats on the sil ver r question and came out so strongly for gold. He thinks lit would have been good politics . for them to have played the tariff issue, and depended on that. That- was Mark Hanna's idea, too, but the gold power was too much for him.: j .About the only thing in which the Hannaites and their assistants show any frankness is in beating the Gov ernment out of postage by using the franks of Congressmen for send ing political documents deadhead through the mails. And this, too, with a big campaign fund to pay ex penses. When it comes to robbing the Government of postage it is downright mean. I Hanna and his crowd ought-to be ashamed of them selves. ''-. " V.

Raleigh News and Observer ' The arrangement has been perfected by which Mr. Bryan will receive the votes of all of the silver men in North Carolina, thereby securing the electoral vote of this State to him by a large ma jority. - ' : - ' " , . 1 . - Under oar system of government, by which the voters vote for electors, who in tnrn cast their votes for President, a condition may easily exist by which one who has the support of a very large ma jority of the voters may fail to receive the electoral vote. . j . , . The electors, who receive the highest number o' votes in the State are elected, and unless all the silver men vote for the same electors it would have been in the range of possibilities ihat with near a two-thirds majority of the voters of the State in favor of Bryan and silver, the McKinley electors would have been elected. . v . i. The earnestness of the rnasses of the people of the State in their advpeacv of bimetallism has made itself felt. The politicians have been compelled to ccme. to an agreement; and now all the adhe rents ollree silver will breathe easily, assured that their, votes for thepeople's champion will be counted forh'm This arrangement is in no sense a fu sion. It is simply the necessary arrange ment of details which ander our electoral system is necessary in order that all voters who favor Bryan may have their vote count in the electoral college. : The.plan has thrown the Republicans into confusion. It was Mark Hanna's desire to have three electoral tickets in this State and 1y taat means he hoped to obtain a plurality of votes for the Mc Kinley electors. His schemes will not work, and the onl use he can put his money to in this State now is to try to elect the -?o!d bug candidate for Con gress and Pritchard for Senator. " "7 Tn mitseS in this State will let it be understood that the manhood of the State will assert itself, and his plan to elect gold Congressmen by the use of money will fail, as well as his plan to carry the State for McKinley. A This is a glad day in North Carolina, all the friends of Bryan and of financial reform feel now assured of v ctory, for they feel sire that every voter can cast bis vote lor Bryan, knowing that it will be counted for the candidate of his choice.

The crowd was disap pointed, for Mr. Bryan was expected to remain in Trenton an hour. Mr. Bryan will be 6companied;to New York by Josepbus Daniels. National commit teeman from North Carolina, and Willis D. Abbott, ot the New York Journal, whose guest he will be to-night at the. Hotel Margaret, in Brooklyn; ex-Congressman lohnson , Cornish, of New York; ri. W. Cornell - and Congressman Sulzer. of New York. ' Among others who went part of the distance with Mr. Bryan were ' State Senators Willian i D. DAf and Richard S. Kuhl, and Post master Paul, of Camden, members of the New Jersey' State Democratic Com mittee, and ex Congressman Mutcbler, of Pennsylvania. Lambertvtlle : was reached at 10 15 o'clock, and that place gave Mr. Bryan quite a stirring reception considering its size. A large proportion of the town's population turned ; out and beard the candidate make a speech of a minute. ; Washington. Warren County N. J., September 23. Standing on the balcony of a hotel opposite the station at Phillipsburg, the chilly wind blowing the hair from; his forehead, Mr.: Bryan addressed a large audience. ' The tram reached Phillipsburg ; at 11,30, and remained there fifteen min utes." The crowd, estimated at between 4,000 and 5,000, showed considerable enthusiasm. ! j Mr. Bryan said: -f eiiow citizens We are in the midst of a great cam paign a campaign in which an issue is submitted to tbe American people more grave in its importance, greater in its results, than any issue, in my judgment wnicn nas oeea submitted to the Ameri can people in time of peace during the entire history of this country. Feeling is arousea on ootn sides, and well may there be feeling, because those who are entrenched behind special privileges know that the success of . this ca'mpaign, tbe election of the Cb cago ticket, means that they will be driven from their bul waiks and made to earn their living like otner men. (ureat applause.; "It is not strange that realizing that hereafter they must eat the bread they earn, oy tne sweat ol tbeir brow, instead oi eating ine oreao tnat otners earn. they will fight with desperation to bead of! the. movement. - (Great applause But, my friends, if there is feeling on the other side, there is feeling on our side, too. (.Applause) Go out among the masses ot tne people and ask them what they; understand thfs campaign to mean, and they will tell you that they understand this to be a campaign in which the people are defending their bomes and their firesides and- fighting for prosperity. (Great applausj) If you would ask me what tbe campaign song ongnt to ne tnis year, l would tell you that there is no better song to illus trate this campaign than 'Home. Sweet Home. (Enthusiastic applause.) have been struck .with the intensity of tne . leeung that- .is manifested in this campaign. Sometimes we have people who are indifferent about the re sult of the campaign. It is not so this year. We find no lukewarm people any- wnere. we nnd tbose wno are aganit us and who will contribute liserally to the corruption fund and we find those with ps who have no money to corrupt tne voters witn. , (Applause.) : But they are outvoting themselves this Fall. (Applause.) it won t be necessary to hire carriages to bring the people to the polls this Fall, my friends. (Applause.) iney win oe tnere wnen tne polls open acd you cannot keep people away from tbe polls this Fall, because they believe their interests are at stake in this fcimpaign. Our opponents want to know bow this money question can corcern them. If you want to know how the money ques tion can concern you, you will find ont how it concerns those who have been in the habit of preying upon the public. (Applause.) If the money question is so important to the syndicates of this ccuatry that they . can sub scribe to the fund to use in this campaign, tbe people understand that there must be something in it fof the syndicates or they would hardly be so liberal in tbs campaign. These men are not in tne naoit ot tbrowing money away, my If lends, and when you find them tolling up an enormous corrup tion fund you may depend upon it that they expect to get back every dollar tbey subscribe by unfair legislation. Applause, and cries of 'More too.' . "My li tends,' tbey tell us that iheae great financiers are doing all this for tbe benefit of somebody else. They are cot in the habit of doing things for the ben- ent ot somebody else nnless tbey share in the benefits, my friends. You will find, as we have found, that where your interests anduhe interests ef the finan cier arc me came, mat men tnev may aci witn you,: out you win nnd that whenever the interests of the financiers are different from the interests of other people, they may be depended upon to look out for themselves and let other people look out lot themselves. (Ap plause) I see here laboring men. I want you to remember that in this camoaien we have opposed to -us every man who attempted to destroy labor organizations and break up these associations of labor ing men; (ureat applause.) Iwantvou to understand that we have on our side in this campaign the only people who have aided labor in its endeavor to bet ter tbe condition of tbose who toil, and we can better submit our cause tn thn who are interested in the -Weifare of the laboring men tbemsslves than to submit the cause to those who in this election try to destroy everything that is of ben efit to the laboring man. I rrmAmh.. when I was in Congress we faari hm up to compel-the railroad tn nn( n. couplers to protect the lives of the rail way employes, and every railway at torney opposed it and told us that it would coit too much, measuring human life in dollars 9 nil f.ntl ant when weinshted that we had the same right to protect the lives of the laboring men as we had of other men . we could not touch the hearts of those peopler If the presidents of railroads are able to manipulate the votes of .their employes in the interests of thnu mhnm Idents ot railroads want elected, then the presidents of the railroads will manipulate the men ftr h and win be deaf to every entreaty of the men who voted for tbeir interests under coercion.

Just as Mr. Bryan started to SDeak tbe tram pulled out and tbe thouts of those who bad been expecting to bear him were lost in tbe distance, t . While the reception given Mr. Bryan at Newark this afternoon- was not so wildly' demonstrative as that be re ceived "there on ' his trip to attend tbe notification meeting in New.

A moo ot cheering, bowling! men sur rounded Mr. Bryan at Hoboken when tbe train reached . the Barclay . street ferry at 5 15, nearly an hour late They pushed along with wild vehemence and forced him to make a dash for a carriage in. waitirg.. Several, thousand people gathered around the carriage and cheered repeatedly. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Mayor Fagan, and made a few remarks, after which a squad of police hustled Mr, Bryan to the ferry bouse. Here William P. Sc. John and ex Congressman Clancy, of Brooklyn, met him, and with theie and Josepbus Daniels, of North Caro lina, be crossed Barclay street. Tners was nobody waiting ' tbere and ' the car riage was quickly driven to the Brooklyn bridge and cn to Brooklyn. In Brooklyn he, delivered three speeches, one to an overflow meetfne outside of tbe Music Academy, and later addressed a large gatherjngof labor men in tbe upper part of 'the city. A solid mass of humanity packed the Academy of Music It was an early crowd, and fully an hour before the beginning of the meeting tbe doors were closed and thou sanas turned away, ine streets sur rounding the Academy were blocked with a disappointed throng, ; who strug gled and fought to gain admittance to see the Democratic standard-bearer. . When Chairman of the County Com mittee James D. Bell took his seat on the speaker's stand, there were iimmed into tbe hall over 5,000 people. There was a fair sprinkling of ladies 'present.

After prelimi nary remarks in which iudge Gaynor said that, in this campaign tbe Demo cratic party would not be wanting lor leaders, Senator Patrick H. McCarren was introduced and read resolutions. which were adopted with rousing cheers, pledging ibe Democracy of , Kings county to an earnest ana uncompromis ing support ot Bryan and Sewall When the names of Senator Qjav and Mr. nan, Dotn oi wnom - were sarcasti cally alluded to in the resolutions, were mentioned there were hisses, while loud groans followed the mention of Chair man Hanna's name.
