COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The republicans would do well
to go slow in slandering Bryan, for in
that case they will have the less crow
to eat when he becomes model presi-
dent.-Kansas City Times.
1t may be Mr.. Hanna's plan of
campaign to have his candidate talk
tariff until after the contribution box
shall have been passed around among
the manufacturers I. Journal.
Mckinley has crossed the line of
hopefulness into the land of confidence.
He and Hanna have been in the conf
dence business all along. Anything
he has crossed lately has been with a
cross of gold.-St. Louis Republic.
The trusts and monopolies nomi-
mated Mckinley; if they succeed in
electing him they will rule his admins
tration. The men to whom Mckinley
is mortgaged represent special inter
ests, greedy of profit from legislation
that shall make the public tributary
to them. The party which placed Nc
Kinley in the field is pledged to meet
the demands of the trusts and the IA
vored interests and is even now frying
the fat out of them for campaign pur-
poses. This is the Hanna-McKinley
campaign as it has been stigmatized, by
men high in republican councils.-Bos-
ton Post.

ABLY DEFINED.
The Democratic Nominees Idea of
business Man.

The Democratic Nominees Idea of q
Business Man.
Not the least striking and important
of the many sterling statements mad,
by William Jennings Bryan in his IA
nous speech at Chicago was that in
which he said that too limited defini
ton had been given to the term ''busi
ness man." He contended that the mar
who works for wages is as much a bust
ness man as his employer, the lawyer
in a small town as much as the counse'
to great corporation and the country
merchant as the great wholesaler il
New York. The farmer, he claims, whS
by the application of muscle and brain
tn the soil creates wealth, is as much
business man as he who bets upon ths
board Of trade on the price of grain.
This is truth and democratic truth
We have been too long the victims o:
misapprehension and malicious misrep
resentation in terms applied by the few
tc the many. 1t was the belief OF oui
forefathers that all men are created
free and equal, and upon that belief thi,
republic was founded. Surely, il
America there should be no class dis
t;nctions and no unjust abuse of &C
cepted terms.
We are all business men. Every true
citizen of America is business man
And not the least of his business is thai
which concerns the preservation of the
individual liberty guaranteed us by oui
constitution.
Verify, this is young Daniel comi
out OF the west His judgments are a,
just as his attitude is fearless.-Tam
many Times.

cause of the bullion owners. we deny IT,
We insist that we want silver for money
and we want it not because we produce II
in this country, but because we need silver
in the commerce of this country. Gap
nlause1 And yet. my friends, the very
Deople who are accusing US Of working IN
the interest of the mine owner are sup
porting a Republican candidate for the
Presidency who six years ago argued IN
favor of the Sherman law and one of the
reasons he gave was that 1t would furnish
market for all the silver produced in
the United States. (Applause) Let me
read further:
so, say, Mr.. Speaker, this bill is just
to the silver producers of the United
Stats, for it does what the present law, as
administered by every administration for
ten years. has not done. 1t takes every
dollar of silver bullion that is produced
in the United States and places it at the
disposal of the people as money"
And vet the man who used that IAN
guage six years ago is standing upon q
platform which refuses to take single
dollar of the silver produced in this coun-
try and put it at the disposal of the peo-
pie for money. (Applause)
am not insisting that a man who mas
had an opinion at one time must always
keep il. but l 90 not like TO have men IN
sist that it is an evidence of wisdom 10
change their opinion and then have the
evidence depend on the mere change with
out saying anything to justify the change.

Mr. Bryan-No my friends, I am not go
ing to say word against the Democratic
President. / am going to leave history to
record that the man who went into office
with an overwhelming majority went out
of office supporting a ticket which did not
carry a single county in the United States.
(Applause1 The ticket which has the sup
port of the administration will not even
have the advantage of having died an
honorable death 0pplause), because it
was put in the field by those who did not
intend to vote for it and was only put
before the people to deceive them and TO
furnish ticket for those few Democrats
who object the Chicago platform and
are yet not quite ready to enter the Re
publican party. Great appiause)
Hon. John d. Anderson and Hon. Charles
II. Turner, of New York, also spoke.
