m. J. Bryan:
living is still earned by his industry;
n when the money Of the country be-
comes deprecated and debased wheth-
er it be adulterated coin or paper with
out credit, that industry is robbed of
its reward. He then labors for a Il
try whose laws cheat him out OF his
bread. l would say to every owner Of
every Quarter-section of land in the
west. would say to every man in the
east who follows his OWN plough, and
10 every mechanic, artisan, and laborer
In every city in the c%ountry,-I would
say to every man, everywhere. who
wishes by honest means to gain an
honest living, Beware of wolves in
Sleeps clothing. Whoever attempts,
under whatever popular cry, to shake
the stability of the public currency,
bring en- distress in money matters, and
drive the country into the use of pa
per money. stabs your interest and
your happiness to the heart"
The herd Of hungry wolves who live
on other mems earnings will rejoice
in such a state OF things. A system
which absorbs into their pockets the
fruits OF other mems industry Is the
very system for them. A govenment
that produces or co%untenances 0ncer-
tainty. fluctuations. violent risings and
fallings in prices. and, finally, paper
money, Is a government exactly after
their W heart. Hence these men are
always for change. They will never
let well enough alone. A condition Of
public affairs in which property is safe,
industry certain OF Its reward, and ev-
cry man secure in his own h~ard-earned
gains. Is NO paradise for them. Give
them just the reverse OF this state of
things; bring on a change, and change
after change; let 1t not be known today
what will be the value of property to-
morrow; lei. no man be able to say
whether the money In his pocket at
night will be money or worthless rags
in the morning; and depress labor un-
til double work will carr but half a
living.-give them this state Of things,
and you give them the contamination
of their earthly bliss.
