The tricks of political demagogues are almost past
comprehension. Like the vagdries of they
present strange fances, and the story of the young
farmer and the usurous money lender almost inter-
esng that of Beauty and the Beast But here is side
of the moneyendng question that Mr. Bryan does not
discuss. Suppose young mechanic, after spending
years of toll in acquiring trade decides that he is
capable of supporting wife and that it time he
had home of his Among his acquaintance is a
young who is willing to trust her future in his
keeping, relying his love and skill mechanic to
provide for her future and make her happy For years
he has worked in the factory where he learned his trade
and confident in his ability continue that employment
he purchases home the instament plan and begins
married life under what he confidently believes will event
ually become his roof tree.
For some time all goes we'll. His wife proves
womanly treasure and their mutual happiness is blessed
with several little children offspring of their love- He
spends his leisure hours identifying and improving his
home and hopefully looks forward the time when will
entirely paid for and he become the proud
ocho,f 1,,e afkr
scene of domestic bliss-the shadow of demagogue
the threshold of happy home and blos out its
sunshine. Like many another of his comrades this
young mechanic listens to the bewilderng misrepresen
taons of political trckster and contrary to his best
Judgment assists in attempt to overthrow none
tary system under the impression that cheap money will
give him wages and the power pay for
his home.
The election is carried by the cheap money dema-
gogues and the money lenders and money changers of
whom they have been rantng at last to be traped
under the feet of the heretofore downtroddeu. The
to reign instead of the classes and liberty
the people to be reproclamed But contrary to
pectation the much promised cheap money does del
uge the country. Something is wrong with the wheels
of the legislative machinery Money holders refuse
fo- fear of financial disaster and the ravages of
money famine begin to distress the country. Failure
after failure is recorded because business
money to pay their debts, and numberess mills
and factories compelled from lack OF orders to close
their DOORS Hundreds of thousands of working people
are thrown out of employment, and among them is
young and prosperous mechanic. Unlike the young
farmer of whom Mr. Bryan speaks this misguided young
husband did not risk his money in farm and attempt
swell the volume of already overproduced farm products
He invested in the eloquent deception of classifying
demagogue and his resulted the loss of his
home the rain of his employer and the destruction of
his happiness. What became of the money lender He
got the mechanics home and with the assistance of the
sheriff bought up half the country, including its and
most promising business enterprises.
