The Democratic Leader Cives ut~
terance to some Forci-
HE Truths.

DAYS ago William j. Bryan, speaking TO
the farmers. raid:
NO man who works farm and tolls for
his daily bread" said he. 'can AFFORD 70 sup
port the republican party. and no mar who
lives In town can afford 70 support the re-
publican party.
You viii sometimes find the commercial
classes arraying themselves against tn
agricultural classes. Prince Bismarck
made a speech 10 the farmers OF Germany
once. He told them that they must stand
together and protect themselves from the
tolls OF a society which produces nothing
but laws
You can talk 10 hna meier In New York.
and he will tell you that a republican con-
verti0n in Iss6 declared that this govern
meut should be carried on by a business
man IN the interests OF business men OF the
country. You ask what Is business man.
and End how narrow IS the difference Is
farmer business man. No. he just works
lie begins in the morning and works all
| day. lie Is rot a business man. The man
