A GRoUNnLEss ASSERTION.

DR.. Parkhurst, the SO. called
reformer of New York comes
back from his European asso-
citation with the agents of the
Rothchilds and gives utterance
thusly: 81 hear that Mr.. Bryan
goes to the Bible for his illustra-
tions, and quotes it as an au-
thority in favor of free silver.
He will find no warrant in the
Bible for a man to pay back So
cents where he got a dollar.
Mr.. Bryan does not claim any
such warrant, but simply to
pay back in the same kind of
dollar he borrowed, and not in
a three hundred cent dollar for
one received.

critics Of this people, the great

this action of the committees,

hold that the Democratic party

Al True Prediction.

In 1894 Hon. William j. Bry-
an, then a representative in Con
gress, delivered a speech during
which he said:
"You may think you have bur
led the cause Of bi-metallism (sil.
yer and gold), you may congratu.
late yourselves that you have laid
the cause of free silver away in a
sepulchre and before the door
rolled the veto stone. But, sirs,
il our cause is just, your labor
will be in vain; no tomb was made
so strong that it would imprison q
righteous cause. Silver will yet
lay aside its grave clothes and its
shroud; it will II arise, and its
rising aud its reign will bless man.
kind
Never were truer words uttered.
The English-Wall street mono
metaIlists thought they had killed
silver forever, but "truth crushed
to earth will rise again" Silver
has laid aside its grave clothes
and shroud, as predicted by Mr.,
Bryan and its reign is only a few
months off.
