Bryan and his followers:
'When Mr.. Bryan was member Of tho
Ways and Means Committee of Congress he
took the most radical position in antagonism to
all duties on imports which might foster or en-
courage American producers and manufac-
" He said that all manufacturers who solicited
duty on articles similar to those manufac-
tured by them were robbers. and deserved no

Mr.. Depew was received with prolonged cheer

depression of business is entirely due to tho

raised we must uphold the present monetary
standard. for it is the only honest standard"
Mr. Depew declared that Mr.. Bryan was n
coward. for that three years ago he was telling
the people that he believed that the trouble
which did not then exist would be cured by FREQ
trade while to-day the whole trouble was to be
cured by the free coinage of silver At II ratio OF
