For Surveyor, CHARLES H. TRYON, A CHEERFUL PROSPECT. w In one of his earlier speeches Mr. Bryan, in a burst of' frankness, admitted that the first result of the passage of a bill for the free coinage of silver would be a busi­ ness panic. Senator Henry M. Teller has added an equally hopeful prediction. In a recent speech he ib repotted as say­ ing : " If free silver should Vin this year I would not anticipate an immediate re­ vival of good .times, but inside of twenty years we-'will certainly have a financial systemthat will give universal prosper­ ity t^yxhose who faithfully labor." This is certainly a cheerful prospect which the people of the United States are called upon to face. According to these high Populistic authorities, the policy which they are now urging upon the United States would if adopted be imme­ diately followed by a .universal panic, from which, in the course of twenty years, they can emerge to a condition which is certainly no better than that enjoyed four years ago, and indeed hardly more desirable than the existing conditions. There has not been a time during the last thirty years when prosperity did not wait, upon those who "faithfully labored," provided, in addition to -this, they exercised some measure Of frugality and thrift. In many cases prosperity carrie without the exercise OS any of these virtues, . • / : v ' * - Faithful labor and intelligent economy have always been in the United States guarantees of permanent prosperity to the individual, no matter what the condition of the coinage laws may Lave been. The rewards of labor arid the op­ portunities for labor were at no period of the country's history so high as they were during the last Republicari adminis tration. The Republican party is seek­ ing to restore the conditions which ex­ isted then, and expects to restore them within a very brief period after its resto­ ration to power. The Populistic party propos&s to try experimental legislation, on a line which all the experience of the world in the past has proven to be fatally dangerous, and predict as a result of the experiment to bring about, after twenty years' trial, conditions no better than have always existed in the country since the Republi­ can party achieved its first national vic­ tory and down to the time when it met its last national defeat. Our Next Governor CAPT. JOHN R. TANNER. I®" The Elgin Butter market on Mon­ day closed steady at 20 cents; offerings, 90,300 lbs; sales, 67,2G0 lbs; the price last week was 20c; a year ago, 22c, I6T Bryan buttons are a drug in the market. An Elgin merchant was offered a gross of them for nothing, in Chicago, with the purchase of a gross ot McKinley buttons. The Chicago merchant sai<i they could not get rid of the Bryan but­ tons.--Advocate. Bryan is the only presidential can­ didate who ever Btooped to get the sup­ port of robbing, pillaging, marauding Tammany Hall. He is the only one who ever spoke under its auspices. Cleveland refused its invitation. So did Hancock, Tilden, Seymour and McClellan. JOHN K COWEN'S WOBDS. John K. Co wen, of Baltimore, takes high rank aB a statesman, and although a Democrat, he is supporting McKinley. The following from a recent speech by him, ranks among the great platform efforts of the campaign. It shows a new political spirit and a glow of patriotism: I am a free trader. I ran for Congress in this^istrict and I made the first out and-out free trade campaign that has been made by a Congressional candidate since I came to Maryland * * * I made the canvass openly and squarely when I was told by managers that it was dangerous in a protection district. The Republicans massed their forces against me. I •felt their .power. I felt their organization. I felt their influence everywhere. Cowen, the free trader, must be beaten. But, sir, free trader^ as I am, I propose to vote tor Wm. McKin­ ley for President. * * * It is the Re­ publican party that protects your for­ tune to-night. It is the Republican party and their platform that protect the savings of the five million bank depositors in the savings banks of the country to-night. It is the Republican party that protects the wage earner to­ night. We would have been on a silver basis to-day, prices would have been doubled in the midst of general paralysis and panic, if the Republican party had not had the courage, the manhood and the patriotism to declare for the gold standard. * * * When, therefore, a party not yielding to temptation has had the courage to come forward to protect American honor, American integ­ rity, American honesty, American wages, American property and American sav­ ings against destruction, why should I fear to cast my little ballot once with them because I had never done it before? From the Chicago Chronicle, (Dem). Oet, 14. . DEFEAT ADMITTED. It is notorious that the silver Demo­ cratic politicians arid leaders concede their overwhelming defeat. This statement relates to to regular Democrats who have always worked and voted with the party and who support Bryan, not, because they believe him or his platform, but in , pursuance of what they regard as party fealty. • \ Intelligent Democratic expressions of opinion to thi3 effect come from every di­ rection. Defeat is admitted. They see no plan nor road of escape. They regard all future 6ilverite efforts as the mere work of desperation. These admissions relate not only to Chicago, but to the state of Illinois and to the general result. The most saga­ cious and candid Democrats in their esti­ mate of results say that the majority against Bryan and Altgeld in Cook county, including the city of Chicago, will be not less than 50,000 and may reach, 80,000 or 100,000 votes. They admit that the majority against Bryan and Altgeld in the state will be twice that in Cook county. They also give up--that is, prominent and sincere Democrats supporting Bryan say that he will lose--all the central western states by as great proportionate majorities as will be given in this city, county arid state: The defea t will be not pnly decisive but annihilating. The collapse and failure of the Bryan Populist campaign will be more complete than any other in political history. There will be no more left of the Bryan Populist fusion ifter election than there is of a firecracker after its explosion. There will be the fragments and a little smoke. The Bryan campaign is at an end and has been for months as far as any pros­ pect of success is concerned. It is utterly lost. It should be abandoned by its pro­ moters. With every struggle they will only sink deeper in defeat, like an adven­ turer lost in quicksands. They know it themselves and do not disguise their convictions among friends nor even in limited public circles. They do not even keep up a bold front. They are collecting no more money for cam­ paign expenses except that previously pledged to pay outstanding ooligations, and there will not be sufficient for that purpose. __ Not a member of the silvercratic com: mittees will deny these facts. The utter bankruptcy cf the Bryan fusion of fac­ tions financially and politically is as much a matter of common notoriety aB if it had been openly confessed. (SUCCESSORS TO PERRY & OWEN.)

What right has he in the name of 'regularity' to ask Democrats to vote for him in 1896? Let him gather his harvest where he has sown his seed." Greeley was the candidate of two parties. His nomination was received with the same furore and loud acclaim. As has Bryan, so did Greeley, make the same personal canvass, while Grant stay­ ed at home. The same claims were made that Greeley would sweep the country that have been made of Bryan's candi­ dacy. Another point of similarity will be manifest about November 3d. (ey Illinois is to be the Republican battle ground for the coping two weeks. Tom Reed is billed for several speeches, General Harrison is to make a tour in the state; five of the ex-governors will hurry around in a special train--Richard J. Oglesby, Shelby M. Cullom; J. L. Beveridge, John N. Hamilton, and Jos. W. Filer; Senators Frye, Hale, and Allison are coming, and. Col. Ingersoll and Chauncey Depew have some dates. It is a campaign oi talk. tea?" A campaign orator in a nearby city hit the nail pretty squarely on the head the other evening when he said: "You can legislate till doomsday, but by so doing you cannot change value. You can stamp a silver dollar exactly what you please, yet the value remains just fifty-three cents. Does taking a man to a government mint and stamping across his forehead 'Daniel Webster' make statesman of him?" (@T Senator Mathew S. Quay, of the National Republican committee head­ quarters at New York, says the election of McKinley and Hobart is an accom­ plished fact and that 270 electoral votes are now assured to them. There are 67 electoral votes classed as doubtful which may go to the Republican column. That there is reason to believe the Re­ publican candidates will achieve a pro­ nounced victory November 3d, is made evident by the fact that the people gen­ erally are taking a more hopeful view of the business situation, which shows some improvement. THAT CROSS OF GOLD. "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."--William Jennings Bryan. Never before, in all the political con­ tests in this country, has an aspirant for fficc made use of language which so Bhocked the religious sentiment of Chris­ tian people, of every sect and creed, as the few words quoted above from the speech which was delivered by Mr. Bryan before the Convention at Chicago, and they turn with repugnance from such an exhibition of bad taste, if not blas­ phemy, on the part of this trifier, who, for oratorical effect, drags into his har­ angues the most sacred words of Holy Writ. Well is he answered by Mr. Marion J. Yerdery, a representative member of the Southern Colony in New York, in an interview recently published in the New York Times, in which he says "No, indeed; no crown with its poiB- onous prongs shalLpierce the suffering head of labor, but instead, that same head shall by this free silver policy be made to .burn and sweat beneath the scorching eun of long days, and receive as reward a spurious coin whose face value belies its real value in the scale of the money changer. No, 'you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.' Neither was the victim of Calvary's stu pendous tragedy so crucified, but He was cruelly betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, and the metal still smells of treachery."

A native of West Virginia, he feels himself called to come north to teach the "mudsills" and "greasy mechanics" all about the finances and the administration of gov­ ernment affairs. However, his assump­ tion is nothing but a relic of the spirit of dictation that prevailed before the war of the rebellion among a certain class of southern people who assumed that they were the chivalry and elite of the country by the right of descent from an aristoc­ racy that made.itself offensively manifest at an early period in the history of the country. t&T With me Protection is a convic­ tion; not a theory. I believe in it, and advocate it, because enveloped in it are my country's highest development and greatest prosperity; out of it comes the greatest gains to the people, the great­ est comforts to the masses, the widest the best and largest reward for honest efforts; and a dignifying and elevating citizenship, upon which the safety and purity and permanency of our political system depend.--Wm, McKinley. When Money Was Cheap. Politicians with a crooked programme bank on the theory that the public has no memory. The Bryan Btump speakers catch their dupes with the assurance that with free silver and the demoneti zation of gold wages will rise, and such prosperity as the world never saw will ensue. They do not calculate that their hearers know anything about the de­ monetization of gold between 1860 and 1865. During that period commodities "went up," as Bryan says tljey would under free silver. They went up 132 per cent. And did not wages go up? To be sure they did); and they went up 48 per cent. Then the workingman was happy? Well, not exactly. A little figuring show­ ed him that on the entire deal his net loss was just 36 per cent Workingmen who remember that period of "plenty of money" and high prices had enough of it. They prefer the gold standard and a dollar of the largest purchasing power. Views of Samuel J Tilden on Unsound Finance. Uncertainty is the prolific parent of mischief in all business. Men do nothing because they are unable to make any calculations on which they may safely rely. They undertake nothing, because they fear a Iosb in everything they would attempt. They hope and wait. The merchant dares not buy for the future consump tion of his customer. The manufacturer dares not make fabric9 which may not refund his outlay. He shuts his factory and discharges his workmen. Capitalists cannot lend on security they consider unsafe, and their funds lie almost with­ out interest. Men of enterprise who have credit or Securities to pledge will not borrow. The people need to know that the government is moving in the direc tion of ultimate safety and prosperity and that it is doing bo through prudent, safe and conservative methods which will be sure to inflict no new sacrifice on the business of the country. Then the inspi ration of new life and well-founded con fidence will hasten the restoring processes of nature and prosperity will begin to re­ turn.--TiMen's Letter of Acceptance, 187G.
