these crimes, no fight would be necessary in
Nebraska now. The party will suffer. but not
enough to prevent an overwhelming majority
for the Republican nominees.
The FARMERS who. last year, really believed
what Mr.. Bryan taught that wheat and corn
must keep pace with silver, now see the folly
Of that argument. They now have discovered
that the free silver coinage idea must stand, II
al all, on some other argument, and that aryI.
