The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-08-08

decline already experienced would
amply discount ordinary events. even
of the most embarrassing character,
but In this instance the affair on hand
Is not ordinary. While the deepest
thinkers believe that the outcome will
be an unmistakable victory for sound
money. they recognize that this Is no
time to make rash ventures. or. for
that matter. To assume contracts that
must be affected materially by the re-
suits OF the general election.
Norman b. Ream Is here from Chi

the east a couple OF weeks. had a
chat with him couple of days ago.
and he said: Il have been pretty well
over the west recently. and have come
in contact with tens of thousands of
voters. I incline to the belief that the
silver craze has reached its zenith.

ognize the ACCESSIBILITY Of appreciating
rival forces, and 1 think II would be
sad mistake to underrate the
strength OF the enemy in any fight.
I feel. nevertheless. sure. judging by
my personal observations and as a re-

American people will prevail. and that
We shall continue on a gold basis"
Too much praise cannot be awarded
to Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan for the
manner in which he got the bankers
together and formulated program
that not only replenished the treasury
reserve. but likewise prevented further
exports of gold. Mr.. Morgan Is a
financ.er without equal or compare in
this country. He no sooner recognizes
a situation than he grasps it. and his
patriotism-and / use the word "patri-
otism" in its fullest sense-has been
shown on innumerable occasions.
Many a less broad-minded man would.
after the adverse criticism that was
passed upon him. have left the admin
istration to take care of itself, but
Mr.. Morgan recognized the duty that
he owed to the country, and in the
hour of need came forth, lent his best
efforts, and succeeded in restoring con-
fidence at a moment when utter de-
moralization seemed to be taking pos
session of our people. A monument

gore up 10 Mr.. Morgan because of
his laudable and most unselfish action.
/ wonder when Mr. Bryan's word
works are going to resume active BUSH
ness. i must protest against the eff
forts of some of his managers to re-

of being an orator if you are not al

the series of profound and mastery
addresses which Mr.. Bryan scattered
along the line of his triumphant march
from Salem. ILL.,, to Lincoln, Neb.. has
ceased TO long for more of the same
kind. They combined some of the
characteristics of the able orations de-
livered by the late Mr.. Harry Blood
good. or the late Mr. Luke SCHOOL,
craft. with some of the characteristics
of a composition on The Four Sea-
sons" written by a lad Of eight, who
has been slightly blighted by scarlet
fever. There was a delightful fresh
ness and innocence about them. 1
must confess that they drew tears to
my eyes and made me think of the
pictures in the back of the old-fash-
toned spelling books. Mr.. Rryan ought
not deprive the world of his mex
haustible resources of instruction and
