Ve B ROM Bryan's speeches the Boston Advertiser has compiled a-number of statements as to what would be the condition of the trade, the indus- | tries and the general affairs of the people at this | time had Bryan’s predictions of 1896 proven true. They make interesting reading, for they not only re- csll to the public the character of the canvass the boy orator made jour years ago, but they show how in- competent he is to pass judgment upon economic | or politieal tendencies. They are therciore timely and | pertinent to the campaign oi this year, for they re- | veal how little confidence can be placed upon the doctrines and predictions of the free silver champiocn. | In the course of his speeches Bryan said the estab- lishment of the gold standard would increase the pur- hasing power of | as certz inly as a ston dollar; that prices would fall falls when it is thrown in the the debts of the people would increase and f the people to pay them would lessen; ould become harder and harder; that ifer except the money-changers that bread which one man earns yuld be transferred to another who had not earned that the rich would become richer and the poor air; t the abi that times w everybody and poorer; that it would decrease the number of the pros- the perous and increase the number of miserable; that it would diminish the volume of rd money, the opportunities for labor and the wages of w men, and that it wouid discourage thri | industry and all the forces that tend to the prosperity cf the people. Such are some of the many predictions of ! prophet of free silver. How far they are from the scribing the conditions of the country to-day all the ows. Never before were there so many op- portunities for labor, never was enterprise more ac- tive, work more abundant or wages better. In all parts of the Union and in all lines of industry time: liave improved steadily ever since McKinley was clected. Money circulates freely, mortgages have been pzid off and new shops, stores, factories and he ¢ being erected. In brief, the things Brya would happen have not happened, but the th | world declared would not happen are the things th rried ¢ jard and under ng to recently publ the total v ding June 30 excee: t stat Depa ent alue of for the first time e sum of $2,000,000,000.

The total exports of t year, amounting to $1,304,186,371, were four great as the exports of 1860, which amounted $333,000,000, while the exports of manufactures were more than ten times as large as the exports of manufactured articles in 1860, which amounted to but $40,000,000. The vast increase in the exports of manufactured goods shows how beneficial has been that protective turing industry; and, as they have been paid for in gold or on the gold basis, it will be seen how much | we have profited b rejecting Bryan's policy that would have made silver the standard of our currency. Mr. Bryan is making another campaign prophecy. He is as prolific of predictions now as he was four years ago. Perhaps some people will still believe in him, but the vast majority will not. have heard him prophesy before. ANARCHISTS IN GREAT BRITAIN. Y reason of the freedom of speech and personal B liberty assured by British laws, Great Britain has long been the refuge of political exiles and schemers from every country in Europe. It has been known that among the foreigners resident in London and other large cities there are considerable numbers of anarchists, but it has been the ‘prevalent belief t there are no anarchists among native Britons. That belief has now been shattered. It appears there has been an active inculcation of the principles of anarchy going on for some time in all parts of the United not be so easy as now for business | Kingdom, and that while the number of converts to | the doctrine are few, they are by no means so weak as to be despicable. The assassination of King Humbert led to an inves- tigation by the London Chronicle of the anarchist propaganda in Britain, with the result that quite a number of anarchist groups were discovered. One of the correspondents writing on the subject says: “For some fifteen years past there has been an or- ganized anarchist movement in this country, run mainly by British subjects, most of whom were Eng- lich and Scots, with 2 sprinkling of Irishmen. The ‘Autonomy group,’ now broken up, was made up chiefly of foreigners, but there are and have been ‘groups’ in Manchester, Walsall, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Liverpool, Norwich, Birmingham, Arbroath and other large cities and towns for some time, in which the foreigner was in a distinct minority. I remember one particular group in Manchester some six years ago. It consisted of about forty persons, among whom were a fully certificated schoolmaster, a draw- ing-master in a local school and a journalist, the | remainder being clerks and workmen. The rival | group was composed of foreigners, who were mostly Jews, German, Polish, Russian and Dutch. the opportunities given by the university. Many of the members are biologists and chemists, with a thor- ough familiarity with the latest developments in the field of scientific research. The Scottish anarchist is, as a rule, better educated than his English confrere, and, from what I have seen, with ome or two exceptions, the Irish anarchists are the least educated of all. There are no anarchists in Ireland. The at- tempts to establish groups in Beliast and Dublin have i been failures.” The writer goes on to say that frequently distin- guished anarchists, such as Krapotkin, Grave and toward the advancement of the cause. He attributes the riots of the unempleyed in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, a few vears ago, mainly to the work of startle the quiet residents of the . ultra-respectable town of Berkeley, But then it must be admitted that the university town is nothing if not progressive. Visitors to the Paris 1 Exposition have been shown some mercy at least from the piratical tradesmen and other purveyors of comiort. Four thousand cabmen have gone on strike and can charge nothing. local anarchist agitators. Thus it appears that while rot numerically strong, the British anarchists are still sufficiently potent to be a notable factor in social dis* turbances. As to their tenets znd practices, the correspondent, who claims to have close relations with them, says: “The policy of the bemb and the stiletto has been de- | | els exports | tem which enabled us to build up our manufac- | of | They | In Glas- | gow the anarchists have always availed themselves of | cthers, make a tour of the provinces, visiting thediffer- | ent local groups and stimulating themto greaterefforts | applicable as far as this country is concerned. They | justify their use al | on account of the tremendous despotism, military and otherwise, in those countries.” The Walsall an- archists declared that their bombs were manufactured for use in Russia. Martial Bourdin met his death not | in trying to blow up Greenwich Hospital, but in try- | ing to get rid of a dangerous explosive. The attack | on the Prince oi Wales by Sipido was strongly con- demned. Consequently the statement that the as- sassination of the King of Italy was made with the as- cent of the ‘London committee’ is absolutely ridicu- lous. There is no such body.” This distinction between assassination in Great Britain and assassination abroad is too delicate and subtle to last long.

Up to this time the British anarchist may be a very mild mannered man, but all the same it will pay the Government to crush him and all his kind before dangerous to society as are the anarchists of Russia, Spain or Italy. THE WORST FOLLY YET. {DSUMMER madness appears to be raging in /\/\ the camp of the mugwumps this year with unsurpassed fury. A greater number of them than ever before are as mad as March hares, and their madness takes on a sufficient variety of forms to stock a lunatic asylum. Some of them wish to start a “Third party,” notwithstanding there are already ten Presidential tickéts in the field; some declare they will vote for Bryan, notwithstanding they are op- | posed to his party and his platform, and now a new set come forward with a proposition to cast the mug- | wump vote for McKinley for President and Bryanites for Congress. The last named movement has its headquarters at Washington. The New York Commercial Adver- CJALL, SATURDAY, AUG declared by British ararchists to be absolutely in- | broad, in Russia, Italy and Spain, | 1l not long be averse to killing their | the inevitable devclopment of his ideas renders him as ‘i ticer quotes a correspondent from the capital as say- | ing: *Of all recent publications on the subject of the rational campaign, the one which has made the deepest impression upon the political managers on | both sides here is the letter of Charles Francis Adams, ggesting the election of McKinley and a Demo- cratic House of Representatives. Already, it is un- derstood, money has been coming in to the Demo- cratic Congressional Campaign Committee from dis- satisfied Republicans. This movement began before the publication of Mr. Adams’ letter, but that docu- ment has done much to stimulate it.” | We believe this to be about the worst folly which mugwumpery is engaged. It is at any rate the cne that will be most dangerous if it be carried out in the House of Representatives is the danger point oi | the contest, and there are many districts where the | votes of a comparatively few discontented Repubi cans cast for Bryan election of a Democratic House. The country would then have a divided Government, and all the great | measures which the Republicans have devised for pro- rmoting national progress, and which should be en- acted by. the next Congress, would be postponed for ars. The man who in this contest contributes to the suc- cess of the Bryan candidate for Congress in any dis- trict may call himself a “dissatisfied Republican,” but | he will be anything rzther than a Republican. He | will be just as much a supporter of iree silver, free trade, national socialism and all the other Populist fads of the time as if he supported Bryan himself. The issues of the contest cannot be divided. The | man who is contented with the progress the country | is making under the present administration, and who will vote and work to maintain the administration in order that prosperity may increase for years to come as it has done ever since McKinley was elected, is a Republican; but all else are virtually Bryanites. In other words, there are no discontented Republicans, and can be none, for “discontent” is the watchword of Bryanism. | | CORN AND KANSAS. ~ ORN and Kansas are booming together, but (J there is no inseparable connection betwe:n i them. Corn booms whether in Kansas or out of it, and Kansas booms not only in her cornfields, “but in her wheatfields as well. Nevertheless the two serve equally well to reiute the predictions of calamity | which Bryan howled over all the corn States in the | last Presidential campaign. Reports from Kansas are to the effect that farmers 1 are so prosperous there is a widespread inciination to exchange town lots for farm lands. A few years ago | the rural population was discontented and thousands | of people were trying to get rid of the farms in ordes to move to town. Now the reaction has taken place, ‘ and the town folks, seeing the abundant and profitable | crops of the farmers, are trying to get farms of their own. ' A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells a good story illustrating the changed condition of affairs. He says: “Out in the western part of Sedgwick County Sweet, the banker at Cheney, came into possession of 160 acres at a cost of $2200 several or $300, but couldn’t find a purchaser. Last fall Mr. Sweet sent East and bought enough of the new v: riety of wheat to seed the land. About the last of | April the wheat looked so fine that farmers began to ask the banker his price. The banker, too, thought the wheat looked pretty well, and he advanced his figures to $3200, or $20 an acre. Even this did not ! frighten off the farmers. George Johnson, on an ad- | joining place, took Mr. Sweet at his own figure. That crop of wheat has been harvested and thrashed. It went over thirty-four bushels to the acre, and the measured bushel weighed sixty-three pou'nds, the maximum of grade. This crop of wheat, the seed | and sowing of which cost Johnson nothing, has prac- | tically returned to the owner the price he paid for the land three months ago.” 3 That is the story of a wheat farm, but there are just as good to be told of the corn districts. The days when farmers burned corn because it was the cheap- | est fuel they could get have gone by. It also appears they do not even have to feed it to hogs or cattle in order to make a paying crop out of it. The people of Europe are learning to eat corn bread and corn meal mush, and the demand for it is growing. The Dailas News recalls the prediction of Tilden that | eventually the United States would export more corn ' than wheat, and sanguinely expects the realization_to be attained within a comparatively few years. It says an acre of corn land will feed more people than an acre of the best wheat Jand, and that when the wheat supply falls short corn can more than take its place. It will be seen that in deciding to talk this year about imperialism instead of about calamity Mr. Bryan has shown as much discretion as can be ex- - pected of a demagogue ; i i | things are closely associated with one another and | | | | which most of the idols were lost, it was ST 18, 1300, QUEER CU il SO SO S S o e o o D R e N the collection of Oriental idols be- longing to James E.

Editor The Call-Dear Sir: In your is- sue of August 4 I read Mr. William H. Millg' letter about our California wines at the Paris Exposition. That subject may be readable, but to a great many people not thoroughly con- versant with wine and its nature may add a second black eve to the first not thankfully received and vet sorely felt. The h commissioners on awards have refused to accept our wines because they were exhibited under French labels and names similar those of France, all upon the complaint of a wine grower from Purgundy, France. I declare that it is only a subterfuge to exclude the best rds commis- dictated by the French a sioners. The California wines shipped to the French Exposition were not entered as “Prench wines’ and were not imitation or falsification of them. They were not under French labels. A French label, so called, is 2 square plece of paper with the name of the wine contained in the bottle to which it is attached; the jabel also bears the place of production, the name of the grower and his address. Our labels (Califoriian-American la- b are likewise a piece of pegor and | ave a similar inscription on them. The address”’ stamps the French label to be French, and our labels, with the address |'on them, also stamp our wines to be therefore they are not at- American; 1« r counterfeiting the | tempts at imitatio products of other ntries. If owr wines were to be placed in com- | petition against the world (and they were | sent for that pu how could our growers do calling, say, | %Burgundy,” a wine made from a ‘‘Pinot | grape”? If the exhibitor called that wine “red wine from Pinot grape” he would | just as well have been disqualified to com- pete as if he had used the name of the Wine made out of the Burgundy grape, But his label carries his name and address and the name “Califgnia” just as the French grower's label carries the origin of the French wine.
