Frnits of their Own Labor.

Since the ignominious failure of the
election of Mckinley to improve the
bankrupting stagnation in business,
and to inaugurate prosperity, we have
become more and more reconciled to
democratic defeat. Had the present
conditions existed and Bryan had been
elected t,Mwhole would have been
charged -taShim and bimetalism, as
well as to that hydra headed monster,
Anarcy, which the honest debt payers
of the nation saw rising from the Dem
ocratic ocean. Now these no longer
send terror through the land. But
where is the promised relief, where is
the hum of factories, the sound of the
hammer, and smoke of the furnace :?
All are as silent and invisible as before
and prosperity's agent is standing in
the midst of tumbling banks, the crash
of financial institutions and the wreck
of private fortunes. The country was
probably not ripe for Bryan's election,
and the devastation which would
lave been charged up to him would
a3rDtlesb have ruined his cause before
his term began had he been elected.
Neither Bryan, nor bimetalism, nor
anarchy, can now be accused of the
seismic financial disturbance which is
shaking into ruins SO many imposing
structures. They all worked and their
emr,loveaa all voted for McKin1ev and
they are now enjoying their reward.
