Bryan. Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
a great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them to know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no.
ticeable that in the states where the ques-
ton was most discussed the MAORI
ties against 3ryan were heavy or his
majorities were unexpectedly small.
If the silverites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
of Pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result OF the election, they will, if they
are wise and want TO win in 1900, con-
clude TO drop educational work and to
proceed on some less dangerous line If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ing about silver for three years, it would
be difficult for the ''goldbugs" to get
people TO listen TO their convincing argu-
ments. If our hard times should unfor-
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
a few days before the 1900 election and
say, II told you so, and majority of
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the crime of 1878" was
responsible for the lack of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage earners will un-
derstand that Is to is an underhanded
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by Juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage of the rest Of
the world in the matter of prices of farm
products. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause of free
silver is lost
