s3 What Is the Matter! n
B I'VE all feel sorry for the man; In mis-
fortune. If a merchant fails in busl-g
ness and he can show that he has met
X With legitimate losses and offers n COM
promise, business men as a rulewllr ac-
cept this offer But IL they learn that
4 he offers fiftyacerts on the dollar when
he Is well able 10 pay 100 cents. they
brand him as a dishonest mani and
thereafter refuse to have further deal
ilipgs with him. Now. ifitibe crime for
an Individual to cheat. Is it not a great
crime for n nattonthat can pay 100 cents
Ito force the acceptance of fift%et three
S cents on the dollar for Its oblig atoms?
$ And that is lust what the Chicai,o plat
form advocates, and what Mr.. Bryan
\ and his allies are asking the American
FpeopleSto vote to do. am q ReIU blicaE
and have. Just one remedy for all the ills
