Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Bryan were Capl-
talists and business men, then they
themselves might promise employment

Mr.. Donnelly and Mr.. Bryan WERE re-
ceiying the endorsement of the business
Judgment of others who have capital,
then u might seem reasonable that free
COINAGE might revive industry and bring
better times
Mr. Bryan and his corps of free silver
orators constantly denounce idle capital
Mr.. Bryan knows that idle capital Is all
ways the result of lack of confidence.
lie also knows that idle capital makes
idle men. III one set OF men have the
capital and another set of men who
are workers stand ready TO be- employed
by this capital, then there must be a
condition of harmony between the people
who own the capital and the men who
stand ready 10 20 10 work or there will
be no work. III plan is proposed which
makes capital afraid, and IL the workers
stand ready by their votes and their ma
Jorities To carry out this plan. then IL is
but natural that the men who control
the capital, being afraid of his new plan,
Will hoard their capital and keep IL idle
rather than risk IL under conditions
which they believe will be disastrous
Does II then avail anything TO the labor
ing man that this capital is denounced

which controls industry, is vastly more
important 10 labor than he was before.
Then he could consent to the employment
of only one man. himself. Now he can
consent Co the employment of thousands
Of men. and whether they are employed
or net depends more upon his judgment
than upon their own. Tho industries of
the world. no matter who is employed In
them, have always been and always will
be under the control and direction Of
mind. Majorities have nothing 20 do
with IL except rs the majorities are in
harmony with this mind force and have
the approval of its Judgment.

political conditions of the future. If this
business mind sees in the election OF
Bryan and cheap money signs of future
stagnation and depression. then IL is hut
natural that II should keep the number OF
men employed 10 the very least possible
limit. People who ride In the Burlington
