Mr.. Bryan's record, short as it is
has been full of inconsistencies. For
instance, he never makes a speech OF
any length now that he does not
charge the gold standard with being
solely responsible for the lowering OF
prices, yet when he was in congress
he had very different idea of the
cause of lower prices, or at least he
said he had. He used the following
language in a speech made on the
floor of the house little more than
four years ago You must attribute
it to the inventive genius that has
multiplied thousand times, in many
instances, the strength of single
arm, and enables to do today with
one man what fifty men could not dc
fifty years ago. That is what has
brought down prices in this country
and everywhere.

American and Canadian money, was con-

the jury finding the three prisoners guilty
as they stood charged, and recommending
Wagner to the mercy of the court.
There are ten counts in the indictment
against each of the prisoners, and the
maximum penalty on each count is $4,000
or fifteen years. Imprisonment, or both, in
the discretion of the court.
1t is believed that Mrs. Smith and Wag-

mere tools of Brockway and DR.. Bradford
