Mr.. William Jennings Bryan
is credited with having made this
remark in a speech at Sun Prairie,
Wis, a few weeks ago: 1.-THE
men having employment and en-.
joying prosperity are SO scarce as

os." The Oshkosh Northwestern
makes this text for the follow.
ing level-headed remarks:
''Let any man turn to the news
dispatches of the day and see
whether anyone capable of work.
ing needs to remain idle a day.
The railroads are coming to the
rescue of the Dakota farmers,
among whom there is a labor fam
inc, offering to carry harvest
hands at merely nominal rates.
The dispatches from the northern
mining regions say labor is So
scarce that the companies are COM
PEELED to pay unprecedented wages
in order to keep the men at all.
Let any man go out today to hire
a laborer to do a job and see what
a time he will have to find him.
Go into any shop you please and
seek to have a job done right away
and ten chances to one the shop
has all it can do for days and weeks
to come. Strike a factory for a
small article and you will be told
that perhaps in week or month
there may be q chance to get it
out. With these facts staring us
in the face, is it not sickening to
see standing presidential candid
ate whining around the country
about hard times and saying,
1.-THE Republican party promised
you prosperity-but the men who
are prosperous are SO few as to be
preserved in alcohol" That is the
kind and caliber of man the Demo
cracy is asking the intelligent
people of this country to elect for
president. Well, the intelligent
people of this country won't do it. p"

According to reports which come by
way of Europe, there is startling
similarity between the Spanish position
at Manila when that city was taken
and the present position of the Ameri-
can forces in the island who are con-
fined to Manila, just as the Spaniards
were, American soldiers, except in
large bodies, not daring to go beyond
the walls of that city for fear of cap
ture by the Filipinos, who have recov-
cred all the ground they lost during
the long campaign and are now massed
outside the city itself. According to
these European advices which the peo-
pie will take in preference to the
worthless censored caole reports, the
whole campaign must be fought over
again. and by vastly larger army If
aught is to be accomplished.
