AT 1T AGAIN

BRYAN's jaw has got to working
again with its old time vigor. Or
his return to Lincoln, fresh from
ode wa SUI" he was rendered re
ception by the women's Bimetalie
League. Bryan said he had return
ed after five months peace in the
army to engage in the fight at home,
He says; "The American people
have ota ,art.1f ea'd standart
as final. 1t has wrought more injus,
| tice in our country during the last
lweu.J five 81 :. IA ha'
wrought in al J,Gnies, and OPP
position to it vii grow until the gold
and silver coinage of the constitu
ton is fully restored.
The trusts which now flourish in
defiance of laws are more merciless
than Weyler was, and the new trust,
the paper money trust, which is
seeking to obtain control of all the
paper money of the nations is a
greater menace to the country's
welfare than any foreign foe
Don't that sound a good deal like
the genuine old original Pop wall
that we have been hearing for years
but which the people sat down on so
hard this fall?
Bryan is somewhat excusable for
being so far behind the times at pres
ent; ne has been in the army, for
his country's good, the last FIVE
months and he has not kept pace
with his party. They abandoned
that old wall two years ago last fall
and stepped upon a little higher
plane Of thought and action. Some
Of the good brethren should take
Bryan around the, corner and tell
him that thing won't IL 4ss Dem
ocrstic party has gone gu. Of poaer
and the country is to prosperous I'M
der Republican rule to be gulled
any longer by that old cry of trusts
and monopolies, and that the lead
ers have decreed that something
new must be sprung
However Bryan has rang change
ON the old key note. The cry used
to be that capitalists had the gold
cornered and were forcing up the
price Of money in that way. Now
our boy reformer says there is a
paper money trust that is getting
control OF all the paper money of
the country and that this trust is Al
greater menace to our country than
any foreign foe.
They used to argue that capital
lists by buying up the gold made i'll
scarce and therefore high and paper
money and silver cheap. Now i'll
the trust is buying up the paper
money it should .become' scarce and
high and gold cheap. This should |
be just what they want for years !
they have been kicking about high |
priced gold, according to their own
theories gold would be made cheap
er by a paper money trust. |
But then Bryan need not worry
himself into q skeleton about this
paper money business. if the Repu-
blicans are allowed to manage this
for a series of years
with their sound financial and able |
protection theories, we will have
enough gold in this country for all |
the wants of commerce, outside of
little silver for small change, and |
our paper currency will not cut much
figure anyway; why, even now the
Kansas City Star is quaking in its
boots for fear the immense stream
of gold that is pouring into this
country will continue Till We have
all there is in the world and poor
old England and the minor powers
will have to 60 back to the days of
wampum and coon skin currency. |
But, seriously, why don't some
level headed Democrat tell Bryan
that he, through his excessive ego
tism and self assurance, is making a |
fool of himself and tell !
him to 60 off somewhere and chew |
the cud awhile till he has time to
catch onto the higher order of poll
tics that has been inaugurated while
he was out shedding his valiant
blood for the good of his country.
