Bryan struck tie keynote If Inc

The question taae is now to be
determined b. tie American pco-
pie IS not simply one cf monetary
reform. i Is not summed up IN
The demand for TIE restoration Of
the free coinage Of silver at the
Old lcgal ratio. The real question
the visal question, IS whether
Europe shall dictate and control
the financial policy Of the United
States, or whether the American
pcOPle shall run their own bugi-
ness in their own way.
The gold standard men admit
that gold monometallism is not
desira bic in itself. The republican
platform declares for its n1ainten-
ance only until b;mctallism can
be substituted for it by inter-na-
tional agreement. AS i3terna-
tiOnal agreement cannot be OBJ
tanned without highlands consent,
this means that the United States
shall maintain an admittedly bad
financial policy until England cor
sents to our having something
better.
If we are to surrender to Eng
land the right to dictate our hnan
cial policy, why not also our tariff
policy? And if cur tariff policy,
why not all our international ar
rangements, including the making
of treaties and the like
The American people will never
submit to this financial servitude
to England. Patriotism in invoI-
we'd IS well as self-interest. Mr..
Bryan does we'll TO appeal to the
sentiment of national pride. The
gold standard policy IS one the
national degradation.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.

When Mr.. Bryan, in his first
speech after beirg nominated, told
the people who listened to him at
Chicago, "There will be no sign
up to keep off the grass when l
am president" he uttered a senti-
ment which, if lived up to. ought
to make him the most popular as
we'll as the most American presi-
dent we have had since the civil
war.
1t is as ridiculous for Wall street
organs to claim that Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to the actual grass around
the capitol at Washington and in
vited its spoliation by armies of
tramps, as it would be to assert
that the political slogan keep in
the Middle Of the Road" refers to
the actual highway. The people
are endowed with imagination, ard
they know what Mr.. Bryan meant
when he SAL: Thee will be 70
sign up TO keep eff the grass when
l am president
They believc he meant that, if
he could brig it about, there
should be an ecd to class Iegisla-
tion and class tavoritism. They
believe that he referred to govern
ment-fostersd monopo]ies ard leg
islati1n tending 10 make the rich
richer and the poor poorer; that
he had in uind a new GRE, when
the tariff baron aud the millionaire
financier VIII not be privileged

mated in this symbolic order to

giving dinner is more in keeping with
the dinner prepared by the colonists than
turkey. They had the finest cuts Of yeni-
sen as the chief dish, but as secondary
meat few turkeys were served, and as
turkey Is much more easily obtained It
has come to be the regular thing.
Up TO a few years ago Thanksgiving
day in New England was the greatest
holiday of the winter months, even sur
pa ssing Christmas. But Christmas be-
ing such world wide holiday now stands
at the top. So much has been said in the
past and will yet be said in the future
concerning Thanksgiving day that it is
not necessary to say anything more.
Family reunions are very pleasant at
airs always. and these holidays coming
as they do during the winter, when there
IS leisure in some lines of yearly occupa-
ton, furnish ample material for the poet,
the novelist and the moralist.

A majestic turkey gobbler was taking
an afternoon stroll in the alley near
Cheney's barn yesterday when he was

rooster. ''how is your good health this
afternoon?''

They are out Of sight, Mr.. Rooster.

they're laying for it,
They're not receiving company this
afternoon, then? By my soul, felt in

AT o'clock the servant girl was seen
to emerge from the back door, with an
ak in her hand, and walk stealthly to-
wards the hen house.
The gobbler, who was rubbernecking
at the time, pulled In his head, stroked
down his Personian wattles and said:
II guess the tragedy is about to begin"
In a moment he heard a commotion
among the pullets, then he saw the SER

saw the sheen of the ak as size lifted it
in the air. There was a dull tbud, then
a fiuyter and finally everything was as
