Editor OF The Times
Sir,-The famous metaphor "Cru1fy
mankind upon cross of gold In the
Grafton which has placed Mr.. Bryan at
the head of national ticket has been
largely criticised as sacrilegious.
However that may be. IL IS quoted In
every silverites argument with the great
est gusto. as II II was conclusive. while
TO me it seems that a goldite might with
the same flourish and a great deal moro
applicableness use the Identical express
sion. for was IT not by a crucihxion that
mankind to-day breathes the air or civili-
zatlon, prosperity. and religious liberty;
and will 1t not be by this cross Of gold
that prosperity and confidence VIII be re-
stored TO our country Though It's dis
ciples may now, rs o. old BE- rebuffed
and spat upon. yet eventually they VIII
