II may be that the people OF Spain
think 1t would be en ensy matter to
come over here and teach Uncle Sam
manners from the Spanish point of view.
The popular idea of a foreign country Is
often a silly one.
1t Is the business Of governments TO be
Informed. and We may be sure that the
statesmen In Madrid do not share the
delusion Of the Spanish press and people.
Spain has navy enough to annoy us on
the seas, but wen there we would beat
her. sh- could never harm us on land.
and all the talk OF her sending 1000
troops owe TO engage us Is b0sh.
How long would It take Us to throw
into the field twice that many men who
know something about war? Spain will
be slow to break 4 lance with us. She
has her hands full with III Cubang.

so great for the toilIng masses, delIbcr-
ntcly refused labor the smnIl boon OF
placing a clause In their platform de-

eight h0ur1 Is not n fair days work.
sixteen hours would have suited those
representatives OF prosperity" better.
Let's see. who was on the committee on
resolutions from Ohio county? l, was J.
J. COniI. Well. nov there mugt have
been a mistake SURE, for Mr.. Conifr
would surely not Ignore tho labor inter-
csts OF the Ohio valley. Labor expects
great things from Mr. COnlfI, 80 you
must be wrong there. Then who was
one OF the big guns OF the convention II
not Mr., J.. W. st. Clair. a man whose
very heart and soul In wrapped ~ In .hc
Sufering5 OF the masses. Whose dis.
trrss over their condition IL OF such a
character that Il IS painful to witness
this PARTICULAR champion OF labor whose
record shows his deep sympathy for

interests. And was not our doughty
governor there to see that labor's inter.

In your assertion.
What right any way. has labor to ask

to get 10 live.
Why. don't air. ConIr and st. Clair
nnd Chiffon and Watts nnd all those
horhy Handed sons or toll work over

Don't those broad browed gentlemen
who run the machine know what labor
wants? OF course they do. Perhaps ut
some future time they will tell us. in

Surely Mr. Bryan does not expect tho
support OF any American wool grower or
OF anybody who believes II 10 be good
policy 10 protect American wool from
dend-level competition with the wool OF
the world. Mr.. bryan cares nothing
about wool lie did what he could to take
off nil the duty. and his party took or
all tho duty. Here il 4 little from a
speech delivered hy Mr.. Bryan In the
house Of representatives. March l6. 1892:
l therefore. Mr.. Chairman, dcnounce
as tAllaclous, as unworthy OF c~onSlh-ra-
lion The nDly rrasOn Ih1t ran be given
In support OF Il tariff on wool. as n pro-
tectIve tariff and for protective pur-
poses.
Iterr Is more from n speech delivered
by Mr.. Bryan in the same place January
l3,lSoi:
1t IL lmmntcrial in my judgment
whether the sheep grower receives any
benefit from the tariff or not. Whether
he does or not, whether the wool manu-
!acturCr collects Il compensatory duty
from the consumer OF wo)lPn goods and
pays II over to the wool grower. or col
lectS II and KEEPS 1t himself. or doesn't
collect Il at all. and therefore doesn't
need II. am for free wool.
Mr.. Bryan wants Il give n bounty OF
100 per cent to the silver OF Colorado for
the benefit OF the few persons who own
the silver mines. He has no sympathy
with the much larger number OF persons
in West Virginia interested In sheep
husoandry. We do not hesitate to FAY
tina Mr.. Bryan is not entitled TO a vote
from anybody who thinks the American
wool industry worth keeping alive.

The Republican party had no aooner
given to the world the honest declara-
ton OF It's views on public questions
than the free silver men leaDcd Into the
arena to wage a campaign OF misrcprC-
aentatIon. They did th7ir level beS; to
make 1t appear that the Republican par
ty had declared for some new and rndI-
cal departure In the country'a monetary
system
They were especially eager TO make
people believe that the Republican party
would deprive the country or !ta silver
money and compel the people to use
gold money ar so without. This mis-
representation ahOuId not have deceived
anybody, but 1t did deceive a great many
perEOiis.
Thus mlslead, many declared for the
free colnnGc OF silver rs the only way 10
keep both silver and gold In use az
money. Then things were looking much
better for free silver than they do now.
The people who were deceived have dis
covered the dcc4ptI0n-not all OF them,
but enough to count and turn the tide.
They have discovered thar the Rcpub-
Iican party proposes nothing new; In
fact that It proposes 10 hold fast to the
present System, wnlch givcs the country
the use of gold and silver and keeps all
the country'a money on an equality with
gold money.

that It Is the free oliver party TINT wants
to take the plunge into The now, that the

Our Democratic friends who have
taken up with the silver fad should no.,
despair OF the republic, Here is 4 sp.cl-
men on OF them complaining that 1t
was necessary TO sell S262, O0o.O 900 OF
bonds, and tina. this means an Increase
OF tlo.50O,oo0 in the yearly interest
charge.
Quit. true. and nobody can complain
OF this more than Republicans have. It
was not that way In the good old Re-
publican days. Then we had reyenue
enough TO run the government without
borrowing money to u it on, and we
went along paying OF the national debt.
When the government comes again to
be conducted an Republican lines 1t will
not be necessary to sell bonds. that IS. to
borrow money. to meet ordinary eX-
penses. There will be money enough TO
do business with. as before: and we shall
resume the healthy business az cutting
down the natIona! debt.

friends need o fear. Al these things
