against silver in this common-sense
way:
THE people are not fools. Show us
where your silver theory is working as
you promise it would work here, they
ask of the Bryan crowd. Suppose it
doesn't work according to your theory,
for theories do not always work, where
shall we be?' Naturally enough, Bryan,
who has nothing to lose and everything
to gain, would like to ride the hobby
into the White House, but it will surely
carry us to ruin If he happens to be
mistaken about 1t. and financial and
business opinions almost universally
agree that he is wrong. Under such
circumstances what must be the de-
cision Of every citizen who keeps his
head level? He will stand by the stand
ard Of which he is sure, and which pre-
walls throughout prosperous and pro-
gresslve civilization. The silver men
ask him to make step which at least
involves tremendous risk. They Offer
him mere theory as opposed to actual
demonstration. They counsel him to
discard the gold standard adopted by
all the most enlightened and the rich
est countries Of the world, and to set
up the silver standard Of Mexico. of
Asia, and Of South America, all Of them
