Sowing the Whirlwind. Kew York Journal. Evidently the campaign cant of the suceessful party is to be kept up indefinitely. Every citizen who believes in the restoration of silver to its former place in the currency is still to be classified as a repudia tor and enemy of the national honor; every citizen who ventures to holda disapproving opinion of a decision of the supreme court is to continue an anarchist; every citizen who thinks that government by injunc tion is an innovation dangerous to liberty, is to remain an advocate of free riot. What insufferable humbug all this is! The men who utter it don’t be lieve it, but they expect to make others Jess intelligent than them selves do 80, and hereafter get their votes through false pretense for the conservation of abuses and the pro tection of the privilezes of the pred atory rich. The scheme has worked well this year, but to persist in it as a perma next policy is shortsighted. The six million citizens voted for Bryan, bimetallism and democratic goyernment are quite as intelligent as the other millions who voted for McKinley, the single gold standard and government by the allied finan cial interests of the country. In the matter, ef patriotism, of regard for the national honor, we will back the average democratic voter against the average trust millionaire any day. To deny intelligence and patriotism to nearly half the citizens of the United States, as the gold press did before the election, and it is doing now when the election is past, will not advantage the party in whose behalf this preposterous insult is offered. The common sense of all xen is forced into revolt, and in those who are the subjects of the insult a resentment is inspired which inteusifies their loyalty to their po litican convictions. To inflame anger and deepen ‘rancor in our politics appears to be settled purpose of the republican party. No one who knows the people of the United States doubts that the masses vote aceording to their view of what is right. The average citi zen who supported McKinley did so in the sincere belief that it would be better for the republic to have him instead of Bryan in the white house. But nebody believes that the mil lionaires—the Morgans, the Pull mans, the Huntingtons and the Carnegies—who rushed as one man to the aid of McKinley, were acimat ed by unselfish motives. Without the aid of the millionaires the republican canditate could not have been elected. That is not to be denied. Neither is it to be denied that the millionaires and trusts re- gard the victory as their own, nor that they will be controlling influen- tial in shaping the policy of the new administration. That these men in fighting for the maintenance of the gold standard and for the defeat of Bryan, who had declared war on the trusts, were keenly alive to their f+ nancia! stake in the contest, is ss clear as that they have been made happy by the result. It is easy to understand that men should think only of their own pockets when they go into politics. If they are cynic ally frank about it they excite more contempt than indignation. But when such men add hyproerisy to sordid selfishness and proclaim that their devotion to their pockets is in reality devotion to their country’s welfare and the nation’s honor they rouse the impatient scorn of honest people. And when these pocket pa- triots denounce all who oppose them Jor the sake of the common good ag less disinterested, less honorable, less patriotic than themselyes, they make a demand on the patience of honest men that is a trifle too heavy There are few citizens who care to listen to lectures on morals and pse triotism from a Carnegie, a Hunt ington ora Pullman. Yet it is per- sons of this class, who stand for nothing but greed, that dominate to-day the political party which has the nerve to deny to the democratic masses of the United States the pos- who | convince the thoughtful and impar- tial its advocates would not need to deal exclusively in insults to their opponents. The gold standard is a fraud. i little for the benefit of the few wio jhave much. That is why those who | profit by it are impelied to employ \eries instead of reasons for its pres- ervation. The insults will be answer- ed in due time by a better instructed people. é W. K. VANDERBILT GAVE $150,000. This Was the Largest Individual Subscription to the McKinly Campaign Fund—The Largest as Well, on Record in All Previous Political Campaigns. New York World. Washington, D. C. Nov. 26 —The World’s publication of the mouey spent by the National Committees in the last Presidential campaigu was tosday the talk of Wasmington, but the most interesting fact respecting this or any other Presidential cam- paign contributions remains to be old Itis this: The largeet iadividual subscriber to the R-pablicau Na tional Committae was William K. Vanderbilt, of New York, who sent his personal check for $150,000 to the National Committee This ie not only the largest sum contributed by any one in the late campaign, but it is undoubtedly a larger amount of money than was ever before given by any individual in any political campaign in the world. W. K. Vanderbilt’s check was not sent in answer to any eppeal from Chairman Hanna, but was a deliber- ate and voluntary gift late in the campaign through another member of the national committee. Cornelius N. Bliss, the treasurer, could, if be would, tell the circumstances. One of the next largest subserip- tions to the republican campaign fund was made by the Pennsylvania Railroad. President Roberts and First Vice President} Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railroad are both Democrats, but the free silver issue threatened such disaster to all in- dustry and credit that the officers of the company and the company itself did what neither ever did before— gave money to 4 political campaign committee. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who it was zumored gave $100,000, in fact con- tributed only $50,000. The largest bank subscription was that of a purely savings and benevo- lent association, the Philadelphia Savings fund, whose directors voted $25,000, “to protect their 35,000 de- positors from loss of their savings.” Jobn Wanamaker gave $10,000— exactly the same sum which he con- tributed in 1888 as Chairman of the Committes whieh raised $400,000 in Philadelphia alone.

After a few days, if they refuse to confess their guilt, the alleged culprit is subject- edto whipping with rattans—200 blows or more if the victim is obsti- nate. Then thumbscrews are brought into piey, and the poor wretch, already half dead, from the b ating, is obliged to undergo the equisite pain that these instruments | produce. These torturing machines are actually those used iu the days of the [uquisition, and preserved to this time in the Monastery of St. Augustine at Manilla. HORRIBLE TORTURES.

Neither the place of 1892. In Kentucky, too, aided by the fervid eloquence of Mr. Watter sou, the gold Democrats, who cast 5,018 votes, are proclaiming them- selves the party and politely inviting the 217,797 voters for Bryan to sur render and accept their rule. In our own State the effort to subordi nate the 543,889 Bryan voters to the skilful political managers who suc ceeded in rolling up 18,000 votes for Palmer has already begun, and per- haps, es New York was the banner State for that ticket, the lead may well be taken here. The progress of this remarkable essay in jthe rule of the minority may well be watched with interest. In the nation 6,221,152 people voted the Bryan and Sewall ticket, while 138,570 gave their ballots to Palmer and Buckner.

According to the New York Jour- nal, Chairman Hanna of the national republican committee had $16,000, 000 at his command. The Journal is also quoted as saying that “these figures while large to the ordinary citizens are trivial in view of the great object tobe accomplished and represent probably three fourths of the sums ectually collected.” In New York, that paper eays the re publican national comunttee secured contributions from most of the trusts and foreign bankers, aggrega ting about $2,000,000. Among the jleading New York donations the Gould family is put down for $50,- 000 while the Vanderbilt family’s donation is placed at $250,000. One jautbority eays W. K. Vanderbilt gave $150,000, but this is denied by Treasurer Blise, and the Journal says it is generally accepted the Vanderbilt family gave the cum col- lected, $250,000. The Journal fur- ther says, that the immense sum thus colgttéd has not all been ex- pended. ‘There is a surplus of about $2,000,000 and it ia because of this eurplus that the national committee continues in permanent headquarters with an expensive staff. The Journal say that it is notorious, that in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, the Dakotas, Missouri, Nebraska and Towa, the sum of $75,000 was given for special work in each congression- Mr Hanna was partic- ularly anxious to beat Towne, Sibley and Richard P.

Hanna and the manufacturers, who furnished him with millions of dollars for the campaign, knew that, given control of the government and the powez to take out of the people's pockets, by law, a percentage on every manufactured artic] used, no matter whether 100 cent or 200 cent dollars constituted the basis of the circulating medium, the trusts, the corporations and the tariff barons would yet the lion’s share of these same dollars. The ceserting newa papers knew this as well as Harna did. Now these traitorous journals are raising their hands in holy horror and tearing their hair because an administration and a Congress whom they aided in placing in power are getting ready to carry out the only system that has given the Repmbli- can party a cause, if not an excuse, for existence, since the issues of slavery and reconstruction became closed incidents. That system is expressed in the phrase, “The cohe sive power of public plunder;” and to this might be added, in view of the Chinese wall of protection the Republican party is preparing to again erect around the commeree of the United States “the legalizing of the pillage of individuals by the cormorant corporations.” The boltocrat papers are in too suspicious company to have their ery of “stop thief!” regarded as any- thing except the threadbare ruse well six mont! asit does tod ‘used by culprite, who, with stolen goods in their possession, attempt to distract attention from their own connection with the robbery.
