 Two of the most striking compari- sons to be made between the condi- tions under a democratic administra- tion and under a republican one is to be found in the statistics of the amount of money in circulation in this country, and the reports of rail road construction. The figures for circulation are as follows: Per capita, July I, 1890, s22S2; 1891. S234; ! 1892, S24.44; 1892, S23.S5: 1893. ] S23.S5; 1891, S2t2S: 1895.

The l figures are as follows: Miles built, 1890, 537S; 1891, 4075; 1892. 4i4l; 1893, 2346: 1891. 1899: 1895. 1850: 1896, I7G4; 1897, 1892; 1898, 2219: 1899, 45OO; 1900, 5lOO (estimated by

 Bryan if one could judge from the opinion he held of the democratic leader in 1896. The following is taken from his speech in Madison Scquare Garden in the last campaign. Mi. Bryan is candidate who was swept into the nomination by a wave of popular enthusiasm awakened by appeals to prejudice and greed. He Is a candidate who. declaring that this was a revolutionary movement, no sooner found himself face 10 face with the American feeling than he realized that this soil was not propi- l tious to revolution; that the people of . this country will not change the in stitutions which have stood the tests and experiences of century for institutions based upon the fan tastic dreams of populist agitators; that the American nation will never consent to substitute the republic of Washington, of Jefferson, and of Jackson, for the republic of an Alt geld, Tillman or a Bryan"
