what would We think of that niau's pa

that this nation cannot undertake to open

QUOTED CARLISLE.
Here Mr.. Bryan quoted from Mr.. Car
isles speech on bime; allism in 1873, to
the -Sffect that the destruction OF half the
property of the world, including houses,
ships and railroads, would not be felt
more sensibly than the permanent annihila-
tion of one-h half Of the metal money Of the
world; and he commented upon it by say
ing:
who are the anarchists? Are they the
ones who are to restore the gold and silver
coinage OF the Constitution? Are they,
the ones who want to reinstate the financial
system which had the indorsement OF all
the statesmen from Washington, through
Jefferson and Jackson, down to Lincoln.
Or shall we find the anarchists amOngt those
who want a financial policy that would do
more than destroy half the houses, sink half
the ships and tear up half the railroads
OF the world. tApplause)

ponents propose nothing. without daring

committee was composed of Democrats

study as statisticiaBs the relative prices

This investigation covered the seers of

went up and in what proportion labor ad-
vanced. Goods went up rapidly because
the pencil process is quick process. Wages
went up haltingly and slowly because the
employer has TO be persuaded and the pen
