William Jennings Bryan.

This gentleman is a native of
Nebraska, snd is no greater than
the soil he was raised in. He
believes in the free silver trust,
and uses gold when he has it. His
logical powers are well distribut-
ed. beginning where his brain
leayesoff and located in his lungs.
Mr.. Bryan has recently been to
Mexico, and returns with glow
ing ideas about that country.
Money is so plentiful there that
about twice as much is used as
in the United States-to buy the
same thing. Mr.. Bryan began
his electioneering for the next
presidential campaign early last
November, and, as he is young.
he has many years of life before
him to devote to the same pur-
pose. In the meantime wheat is
IN. silver is down, farmers are
paving their debts, monopolies
flourish. and the American eagle
IS throwing bouquets at himself
and drawing q yearly pension
that would steep the standing
armies Of Europe in untold luxu-
ry.-LJe.

And deemed it duty to control
With rigid rule; never knew
That love with love could rule the soul.

If i could only look into those angel

Nor should you plead for kiss in vain.
The sun was shining high and bright,
I woke from slumbers of the night.
And looking for my white-robed babe,
I saw her in her cradle laid
Her eyes were closed in slumber now,
laid my hand on her cold brow,
Her golden curls played round herhead,
My child, my child. Oh, God, she's

Now, 1 am old. The passing years
Have brought no comfort in their
flight
My heart still hears the pleading cry,
Mamma. please tiss me now dood

There exists in the United
States today the same defective
contribution Of women as existed
in the colonies 27s years ago.
Indeed. it is an economical as
we'll as a social defect that the
distribution Of women in the
country is SO imperfect that,
while Massachusetts has $4,000
more women than men, and while
in every city and hamlet from
the Atlantic to the Mississippi
spinsters bloom and fade unpluck.
ed by the reverent hand Of eager
youth, we frequently hear of q
bachelorin the far West address.
ing q letter to the United States
Commissioner of Immigration at
Ellis island, New York, begging
him to exercise his taste and dis.
crimination. and when his eyes
fall upon q desirable young wo,
man who wants husband, to
forward her to him at his cost
and risk, provided she does not
object.
The fact that reasonable eligi-
BILE bachelors in the interior of
the country should find it neces-
sary to send to an Eastern port
for wives points out deplorable
fault in the contemporary social
state. To correct this fault in
distribution, SO painful to con.
template, and endure from the
point of view Of either section
and Of either sex, is q problem
which has received the profound
attention Of our social economists
from the foundation of our couu-
TRY.

that twas a common thing fol

that carried good testimonials Of
her character, at the price OF

In one year Sir Edwin pro.
yided passage for 1851 new
emigrants. Among those were
ninety agreeable young women,
poor, but respectable, to furnish
wives to the colonists. This new
commodity was transported at
the expense of the colony, and
sold to the young planters. and
the following year another con.
signment was made Of sixty
young maids, of virtuous educa-
ton, young. handsome and well
recommended. A wife in the
first lot generally sold for 100
pounds of tobacco. but as the
value of the new article became
known in the market the price
rose, and wife would bring $50
pounds Of tobacco. A debt for a
wife was of higher dignity than
other debts. and to be paid first. y
In a letter still in existence,
dated London. August 81, 1921,
and directed to a worthy colonist
of that settlement, the writer
says
I'VE send you IN the ship one
widow and eleven maids for
wives for the people of Virginia.
There has been especial care had
in the choice of them. for there
hath not one of them been re-
ceived but of good recommends

Sin case they cannot be pres
emily married we desire that

But the writer Of this epistle
had little reason to fear that any
of the "maidens faire" would be
left over. The archives of Wiz.
GINA prove that these first car
goes of young ladies were put
up at auction beneath the green
trees of jamestown. where prob
ably the most anxious habitues
ever known in the history of the
world were gathered. and sold
for 100 pounds of leaf tobacco
each. and it was ordered that
this debt should have precedence
of all others. The solitary lone

10 Old Virginia Days 100 Pounds Of To-

From the earliest settlement
Of the colonies there has always
been a defect in the distribution
of women in this country. 1t is
q historical fact that while one
section has always suffered from
an embarrassment of riches, an
other has pinned in needless pri.
walton. AT the outset of Ameri.
can civilization the wilderness
was hungry for men to till it, and
thousands of idle laborers of
London and Bristol poured into
the new Ell Dorado.
Robert Beverly, in his His
tory of Virginia. published in
1905 and 1922, says Those
that went over to that country
first were chiefly single men. who
had not the incumbrance of wives
and children in England; and, if
they had, they did not expose
them to the fatigue and hazard
Of so long a voyage, until they
saw how it should fare with
themselves. Hence it came to
pass that when they were settled
there in a comfortable way Of
supporting a family, they grew
sensible of the misfortune of
wanting wives. and such as had
left wives IN England sent for
them, but the single men were
put to their shifts.
.Under this difficulty they had
no hopes but that the plenty
in which they lived might invite
modest women of small fortunes
to 60 over thither from Eng
land. However. they would not
receive any but such as could
carry sptiicient csrti ficate Of their
