COUNTY. OREGON.

VIM. ]. Bryan says: Some peo-
pie think the silver sentiment
craze and that it is going to blow
over. That makes me think of a
story. Outin the Northwest where
the wind is high, the fences are
sometimes blown down and some
times the houses are blown over,
A man was going along one day
and found another building fence.
He was putting 1t up solidly, with
mortar and stone. The man said:
"You are putting good deal OF
time on that fence. Don't you
think it will blow over?" And
the man who was building the fence
replied, ''That is just the way
am building it. 1t is five feet wide
and four feet high and when it
blows over it will be one foot higher
than it is now" That is the way
they are building this silver craze,
1t is wider than it is high, and
when it does blow over it will be
higher than it is now"

William J. Bryan> We believe
that when prosperity isbronght to
the producing masses of this coun-
try, it will find its way to other
classes. There is no Legislation
which is good if it does not reach
the masses: Prince Bismarck, in a
speech made to the farmers about
a year ago, said that the farmers
must stand together and protect
themselves from the drones of soci-
ETY. which, produce nothing but
laws. The prducers are just as
much entitled to the fruits of their
industry and to consideration as
