THE ROOSTER HE WORE Of HIS HAT.

Come, pause for while in your play.
And put down your ball and your bat.
Attend to me we'll
While a story tell

My boy,
This man was a laborer skilled.

For his job was secure,
And his wages were sure,
But his heart with longing was filled
My boy,
One day some demagogues came,
For demagogue read Democrat),
And spouted and brayed
In behalf Of free trade,
Ill they set all his fancy afiame,
For rooster to pin on his hat
He whooped like an imbecile loon,
For candidate fussy. and fat,
- Whose inflated ,renown<
=. soon collapsed and came down;
On the rooster that sat on the ny ~ boy.
Now his partisans float in the soup.
A,on. ,-;., Ny boy.
Yhe cuckoos all sigh
For their vanishing pie:
And the rooster is sick with the roup,
r Do. My boy.
And poverty sits In the seat,

"here competence formerly sat,
And the laboring man,
Through this fatuous plan,
Is now left with nothing to eat,
Ny boy,
Then take warning and never forget,
Ny boy.

Jugglers with the National Credit
CHAUNCEY DEPEw


CHAUNCEY DEPEW.
BRYAN and SewaH and Watson pro-
claim a revolution. These jugglefs with
the ne, national faith and national credit,
with business and prosperity, with labor
and employment, are recklessly endeav-
orlng to precipitate one Of those crises
IN which capital and labor and homes
ana wages are inextricably involved
me right of revolution is divine, but it
must have supreme Justification Under
our constitutions and institutions and
laws as they exist there is before 8 us is
in the promises of the Populistic leaders
nothing but an invitation to embark
upon that sea of reputation and sdishon-
e eT Mh'G Ge3 hiRs 4Esf
it. This revolution promises to destroy
of bonds and the use Of the credit of
the country for any purpose, to debase
the currency, to issue, if need be, ire
deemable paper and fiat money, and to
destroy the validity and the inviolability
of contracts between individuals. It
proposes; to seize the railways and the
telegraphs, to enter upon a vague and
vast system of paternal government apS'
to destroy those elements Of American
liberty by which the government governs
least and the individual has unlimited
opportunity for industrial business, pro-
fessional and political honors and emolu-
ments.
mo one has ever doubted the wis
dom of the fathers Of our republic. A
century of experiment has abundantly
and overwhelmingly justified their fore
sight, statesmanship and patriotism.
They saw the horrors Of the French
revolution, and they made up their minds
to guard their country against the ex-
cesses of temporary madness. They
created the executive and the legislative
branches Of the government and made
them subject to FREQUENT submission to
the will and Judgment of the people, but
they enacted written constitution un-
tive branches must act, and then they
created that new feature Of government,
that palladium of the rights OF the peo-
pie and the permanence Of our institu-
tons. an independent judiciary. court
which could say to q wild Congress-:
you have overleaped the boundaries Of
the constitution and you must bring
yourselves within its limits They knew
from the precedents of liberty behind
them that the judiciary can always be
trusted. There are two places under
our constitution where neither wealth
nor power gives any advantage to the
individual. where the richest and the
poorest, the most exalted and the hum
'blest stand on the same plane; one Is the
ballot box and the other the court And
yet this Democratic and Popullstic al
lance proposes to destroy this majestic
tribunal and make it simply the echo Of
the party caucus which controls Congress
this year and may be driven into al-
security next"

they went on. think. to the amount of
$4,000, 100000, and finally the whole
structure collapsed. The government
would not take them, the paper became
absolutely worthless, and when that pa
per became worthless it was found, not
in the hands of the spectators; no, it
was found in the hands Of the manu-
facturers, of the business men, Of the
Workingmen of France. It was on them
that the loss fell. because they had ex-
changed their labor and their earnings
for this worthless paper. That is the
history of all attempts to juggle with the
currency. The loss lands always in the
same place. and we can form no ex-
ception to the great natural laws.

find III his habits of life many things
to admire. He is % man of undoubted
talent, talent for the stage, perhaps,
rather than for statecraft. He is. q kind
husband and an indulgent father. He
does not smoke or chew, drink or swear,
steal or gamble-in short, he has not a
single redeeming vice that know of,
I have had spells of thinking he believes

Of rare eloquence, although anyone read
ing his speeches would be pardoned for
doubling the assertion. Reduced to
cold type his words become mere rant
and bombast, while those self-same
words, spoken in Bryan's voice-a voice
as mellitluous as the sweetest pipe in
yonder organ-would stir your heart,
just as would the voice of a great sin
ger. by the very quality of tone. Add to
this handsome, graceful presence and
a fire and energy of action, and you can
imagine that it matters very little to
Mr.. Bryan's audience what Mr.. Bryan
says, SO long as he keeps on saying it.
The mistake he made in Madison
Square garden was in the attempt to ar
que. He ought never to do that, for
the divine attribute of reason was left
out of his mental makeup.
But. my friends, there is not word
in this encomium which would not with
c4uA4 tAulu appropriateness apply
to another famous Nebraskan. whose cx-
ploits are, inseparably linked with the
history of Omaha; whose habits are as
regular as the sun. whose character is
as impeccable as Bryan's own: whose
presence is just as handsome, whose
powers of speech were formerly just as
great and have wrought many an audi
ence to tears. to laughter and to fren-
~; a man who, like Bryan, was pos
sessed of talking devil and who today.

ticket on which Mr.. Bryan is running

ment is not without embarrassment. He
must feel as bewildered with these two

Labor Needs an Unvarying and Re-
liable Currency.
FRANK s. BLACK, CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.
''No mans labor of yesterday or last
gear can be preserved, except by some
representative or token of it, and money
,iss the almost universally adopted agent
for that purpose. Nothing in the world
should be SO anxious as labor that the
token which represents it should be UNI
varying and reliable. Who can
preserve until tomorrow the labor of to-
day? 1t cannot be done, and the only
means of securing it's benefits is to re-
ceive and preserve some token which
shall stand in it's stead; and which may
be used us future needs may require. .
And further on the speaker said: IF a
man is robbed, it is crime and he may
have redress. If a bank fails and pays
him only So cents on the dollar, it is a
misfortune, and he is not yet without
hope of recovery. But if he votes away
~ cents Of every dollar, it:yis his own
fault, and he has nothing to condemn
but his own folly, which will remain
with him much longer than his money !. |.
