The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-08-06

Four years ago Bryan was loud in
proclaiming that Free Trade would In
crease workingmen's wages, while de-
creasing the cost of every necessary of
life. He harped on this necessarily,
and openly criticised the Wilson Bill
because it did not go far enough toward
Free Trade. He is now trying to con-
ceal his inglorious failure by insisting
that Free Silver will do what be prom
ised that Free Trade would. Who is
foolish enough to follow such leader?
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-08-06

The men who brought sweeping mis-
fortune upon the country by their advo-
cacy of Free Trade now want us to fol-
low them into their vastly worse de-
fusion Of Free Silver. Having led us
into the ditch, they now want to drag
US over the precipice.

To read in cold type Bryan's speech
at Chicago puts one entirely at loss to
understand the effect produced. It has
been described as the greatest speech
of the century," one surprising in every
way anything that ever fell from the
lips of James G. Blaine, Roscoe Conk-
ling, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, or Bourke
Cochran. We simply cannot COM
prehend this. No one can read the
speeches of Blaine, Conkling, Ingersoll,
and Cochran without strongly hight
ened pulse, no matter how little the
reader may be in sympathy with the
orator. They utter great thoughts in
marvelously forcible, felicitous language.
Their sentences linger in the mind, like
strains of music. And when we think
of these being uttered by men of wonder
full personal magnetism, with lifelong
training in oratory, we can account for
the effect upon their audiences. But
Bryan is not happy in formulating
sentences and epigrams, he is far from
logical, his English is very ragged, and
his speech rehash of vapid and mis-
leading generalities with which the peo-
pie have become tiresomely familiar.
Much has been said of the influence of
the personality Of the orator, but though
Mr.. Bryan is a very good-looking young
man, with full and pleasing voice, his
presence is hardly to be compared on
the same day with those Of Ingersoll,
Blaine, Conkling, or Cochran.
LET any one, with the ford sem
fences of the Free Silver orators still
ringing in his ears, sit down and calmly
consider where he can possibly be bene-
fitted by Free Silver. 1t will be impos-
sible for him to see in single way. IF
the silver dollars should rise to the
present valuation, they would be Just as
hard for him to get as they are now,
and the only ones who would be bene-
flied are the silver-mine owners, and the
spectators who have pig-silver stored
up by tons in their warehouses. If, on
the other hand, the silver dollar should
fall to the present bullion price of the
metal in it, he would be juggled out of
half of his present earnings and profits.
He would suffer immensely either way.
Or course, every brainless idiots first
shout when he reads an argument for
Sound Money is "Sold to the money
poweri" He never thinks how much
more reason there is for charging him
with being bought up by the ring Of
mining sharps and SPECTATORS, who are
trying to work off their accommodations of
cheap silver on the country.
