years. depends not upon the political
Judgment OF the men who are employed
in these machine shops. bat upon the
business judgment of those who must fur

this business Judgment looking always To

inspired with fear as il intcrprctS the
business prosperity of the future 10y the
political conditions of tie future. II this
business mind sees in the election Of
Bryan and cheap money signs of future
siagnation and depression. then il is but
natural that it should keep the number Of
men employed To the very least possible
limit People who ride in the Burlington
trains along by the town of llavelock
near Lincoln where these machine shops
are located. can see the signs of business
depression and can interpret the doubt
that is in the mind of the directors of the
road. when they sec the side tracks lined
with broken engines which the small
force of men employed are not able to

and day carrying the great crops of Kan

cess depends upon the activity of Eastern
industry and the activity of Eastern in
dustry depends upon the faith and conf
dence of the Eastern business mind.

William Jennings Bryan and his plat
form IL "A menace 10 industry and Mr..
BRYAN knows il. The conviction is fast
encd deep upon him aud the leaders of
his cause. that the thing which they are
trying to accomplish is against the bust
ness Judgment of the American people.
They are condemned by the mind work
ers of the nation. and because they
realize this. they constantly appeal 10
class prejudice. hoping that there are
laborers and farmers who hate the bust
ness men and the employers of labor.

Many of the ''plain people of the
