BRYAN AND THE BIBLE.

Pertinent Remarks by Rev. Dr. Frank w. Gupsaulus-Jumps on the Boy Orator Dr. Gunsaulus Is We'll Known to Many Connecticut People Rev. Dr. Frank w. Gunsaulus, the brilliant Chicago clergyman who so ably supplied the pulpit of the First Congregational church in Meriden few years ago, was the orator at a repub- lican mass meeting in Plymouth, Mass, recently. Among other things he said:
 Let none suppose that MT. Bryan's metaphors have exhausted the Bible. There are other phrases in the Bible which might be used in the discussion that was commenced at Chicago in ad dition to those which Brother Bryan used at the close of his remarkable ora ton. Of one thing we may be sure, the patriotic ministers of this land have some other purpose in the use of the crown of thorns and the cross of the Nazarene than conjuring up with such sacred emblems the unholy spectres of dishonor and revolution.
 Cheap money always gets into the hands of the poorer classes. On the other hand the richer classes get hold of the larger and more intrinsically valuable coins, and the result is that the land is infested with an abomina- ton, as the Scripture calls it. The only remedy for this matter seems to be the remedy in the divine commandment Thou shalt have a perfect and just weight
 "The campaign has most appropriately opened and presented since that bale full day in June when Tiuman and Alt geldt and Hogg of Texas leaped into the tattered saddle of false democracy and headed this bewildered steed to- ward public anarchy and national dis grace Nothing but boy orator would have been capable of capturing that runaway convention, in whose whirl- ing wheels and beneath whose heavy feet the statesnlanship of Hill and Villas and Russell and Whitney has already been broken to pieces.
 T recommend the election of Major Mckinley most strongly because be- iieve in what is praised as the money of the constitution I want to see the triumph of the dollar of our fathers But would say that when man comes to me with only fifty cents worth of silver duly stamped and pro- fanely inscribed, Tn God We Trust, ard asks me to take 1t and palm it off cn somebody else as the dollar of our E.1,.o 7 4o !, Lxy body else for a dollars worth of some- thing want that he has-I say that I decline to join in the swindle, and I proclaim this to him: Sir my daddies and the daddies of this nation were not that kind of men Silver has be- come cheaper, but moral standards have not; American manhood has not.
 If we are willing to be false in coip, we will be false in our life and in our destiny throughout No rock in the sea is so perilous as A rev on board willing to place a fiction Ut the rudder and to rely for a haven on a fog bank Of sil very falsehood. We have been advised not to let the money power control this election. The most dangerous of hith- erto proud trusts and monopolies which have fattsaed at the expense of the WuOlGE PGOpIG aIlQ Eue puUllC cFGull IS the American silver oligarchy. MT Bryan tells us in various phrases that he endorses the Chicago conventions attitude of attack upon the rich. Of course, on our way back to barbarian, if we must go, we will get rid of all our rich people. Everybody becomes poor and things are level,ed, till we get back to the hour when the original American begins his exchanges in wampurn. I say Up with the poor!' is the nobler Watchword- war cry of this campaign for the honor of the l poor mans money.
 sThere is.something more than true monetary standard exposed to peril in this contest. It is our national feg. My friends if a silver miner can get some thing out of the ground, fifty-three cents worth of which he can take to the mint and get a dollar for it. why can't you take fifty-three cents worth of labor to some government factory and say: Here, I'm like the silver man.. have some of this uncoined article to sell I want dollar for this much of it., Why can't you get your dollar We have heard a good deal lately about declaring the Independence of America from England.
 1t may be all right to despise Eng land because she prefers an honest dol- lar to a dishonest one, but let us make /it sure that our statesmanship is at least as comprehensive and true as the statesmanship of her Alfred and Crom- we'll, her Russell and Edmund Burke Then will it be worthy of Washington and Adams, and even of tbat grand democrat, Thomas Jefferson"
