what an English Correspondent Says OF
Hon. w. j. Drynn.
A correspondent in the London
(England) Times, in an article on
William ]. Bryan, has the following:
Another gentleman upon whom
called, but who, for several reasons,
does not care to have his name quoted,
although he is man nt more than or
dinary prominence, was enthusiastic
about Mr.. Bryan. FIe said;
81 look upon him as the peoples
man, and mark my word, he is to be
your next president, and even II he be
shunted off for another term, it will be
only for another term. All the corrupt
use Of money cannot keep that man
down. His talk rings true, and he
speaks for the great masses of his
countrymen. You talk about your free
country. 1t Is all bosh. There Ia real
slavery in the United States, for the
power of money holds in Its grasp your
judiciary, your congress; and, well, no,
won't say anything more along that
line. But you want another Declara-
ton of Independence, and l believe
that Bryan is the man to do the writ
ing for you. Yes, l have Travelled in
the states, and 1 take several papers
from that country, and like the Ameri-
cans, but am not blind to the dangers
that are ahead. have said for some
time past, and believe 1t more and
more, as I read the papers, that you
are on the verge OF great revolution,
and whether 1t comes peacefully or
otherwise, will depend a great deal on
whether you soon get that kind of leg
islation that will remedy some of the
great wrongs that are SO apparent.
Your Lincoln used to say something
about not fooling all the people all the
dime. l cannot get the quotation cor
rectly just now. Well. that is true, and
in no place so true as in a country like
the United States. where the level OF
education is as high as 1t is"

Everybody knows how congress was
simply held up by the trusts during
this last session. 1t came to be that
the representatives OF these combina-

and you shall not do that, and 1t was
done or not done, as they commanded.
