Put l understand that Mr.. Bryan
now declares that free coinage VIII start
the wheels OF Industry a. once.
R-Dtd X ever occur 10 you that Mr..
SFyans prophecies are not very reliable
Did he not tell us four years ago that u
turn Republicans out Of Office and 10 pat
Democrats IN would incraase our wages.
lessen the cos; Of our purchases, and
give Us stiu better times? And was there
ever a prophecy more false and mis.ead
ing than that
P-Bur you can't make me baifev. that
Billy Bryan Is dishonest. or that ne would
knowingly fool the people. lie was sin
csre when he made that prophecy four
years ago. He VAS simply mistaken.
that's all Any man is liable 10 make
mis- AXE. You must remember that Billy
Is yourg yet
RI admit that be Is young. that \.
is honest. that he Is sincere. and that he
Is a splendid young man: but is that any
comfort 10 Us who are now out OK job
P-Bui the people are for free silver
and when the people have their way the
country IL sure 10 prosper.
R-Who DO you mean when you say
'the people2'
P.-I mean 4 majority Of the voters o.
this nation mare particularly the laboring
classes and the farmers.
R.-Bui how 10 you know that majority
OF these are Tor free silver?
P.-Look al the way they crowd around
Bryan and cheer his speeches. The whole
country Is going Wild over him. He Is
moro talked OF than any other man in the
United States
R.-The American people often go wila
over sensational orator especially boy
orator; bat they generally recover from
their wildness Just before they vote. The
people or Nebraska crowded around Mr.
Bryan and wen. Wild over him two years
ago when he was canvassing the state
as a candidate for the United States SEN
te bat they cooled doan Just before cleo
ton, and when the vote was counted not
a single Bryan man had been elected 10
the legislature. Bryan has the faculty OF
arousing the soda water fig OF politics.
but somehow he does not arouse confidence
enough 10 get votes.
