BRYAN viii never be president A man
who will charge S2.400 for days pollt-
cal talk can't afford TO fool with the
salary of $4,000 year. but
f BRYAN should ever become president.

Beware the man who loves the great
plain" people too much IN MS lax.
When they cause him a moments dis
quiet or disturb him for second, he Is
liable TO be insolent and offensive.
And how big cross of gold would s., 400
make?
Yes. Mr.. Money Power, we defy you
at s., 100 per def.
Yes, Bryan loves the common people, w.
400 worth per day.
Certainly we must have oimetalhs'n'
even if we have to subsidize orators al
s. 400 i day.
There is a difference in men. Wichita paid
lust s., 400 more for Bryan than Hutchinson
paid for Mckinley.
Under the gold standard Bryan gets g.
4Oc for his Wichita speech. Under ol-met-
allism will he charge US S4.o00:
That special session of the Populist leg
isisture might also fix a maximum oratory
rate. and protect us from Bryan.
It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr..
Rrvan VIII hold onto that s2,4oo without
the aid or consent of any other nation.
The rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer. So poverty-striclen is the country
that political speeches bring only $500.
Bryan, the great friend of the common
people. might buy a Kansas farm with
that s., 400 1t would keep the money in
circula ton.
While there is yet in Kansas mortgage
on a farm unified. had Bryan the right
to extort so great a sum for few scatter
ing words on a dead theory?
In New York City people are actually
starving, while the Goulds and Vanderbilts
roll in wealth and Bryan is out in Kan
sas town taking in s., 400 for a speech.
Since that daylight train robbery in the
territory, the man who has been swelling
around covering himself with bullet-proof
sunshine viii have TO come off the perch.
The average Populist politician is Of the
opinion that Canada and Mexico could
do some fine work just now by talking
a little more about prosperity themselves.
In the home of the millionaire, New
York. Bryan charges nothing for his
sneech.s. Out here in mortgage ridden,
hank-enslaved Kansas he makes a bin for
$, 800.
When BRYAN hid away from the crowds
in Wichita so that people would be forced
to nav an admittance TO see him. he was
acting the common mountebank, and moth
ing more.
Bryan doesn't charge more than $500
because the circulating medium in Kansas
IS so restricted that he was afraid he
might work a hardship on some Of the
struggling farmers.
Let the Sedgwick county farmer thank
his stars that under Mckinley. Bryan took
only about 5000 bushels of wheat out OF
the county Under Cleveland ne would
have taken 5000 bushels.
The robbers who had the gall TO hold VI
that train in daylight are out of theil
element in this part Of the country. The

courage with open arms.
After all, II Is only the old question o.
