BRYAN and the Farmers.

Philippe Republican.
Farmers, do not forget that little boy
Bryan was, and is today, a more rabid
free trader than William t. Wilson He
helped frame the Wilson bill that gave
you free lumber, reduced the duty on
your farm products and inaugurated
free 10 cent wool All the reputation
he ever had before was secured by a
speech in behalf Of free wool, free coal.
free lumber and free trade generally
He whined that the Wilson bill did not
60 far enough. He does not talk free
trade now since he has seen the result
of a limited dose of it, but he and his
Popocratic party now want TO deceive
us with a plea for SO cent dollars under
free coinage.
