No hint of safer ratio-no suggestion

attempt to maintain silver at double its
actual value!
Angry men tell the truth. Nettled by
the timely and pertinent question, Bryan
let the cat completely out Of the bag.
Stung by the keen reminder, he drop
ped his campaign mask and avowed the
full truth as men do sometimes in their
wrath as in their cups.

question at Ann Arbor did well. He
surprised Bryan into declaring the truth

Bryan loves his silver dogma all the
more fanatically because he has had to
nurse it in silence. The surprise sprung
on him at Ann Arbor shows how the
land lies. Believing in free silver as
absolutely and as ardently as ever,
Bryan will stop at nothing when the
opportunity comes to enforce that policy
in its most extreme and reckless form.

day. From the time of his
election as Representative in Congress
up to the time of his retirement because
of i'll health in 1898, nearly half century,
he constantly occupied important and
honorable posts in the Government ser
vice. He was Representative from 1855
until 1860; Senator from 1860 until his APP
pointment as Secretary of the Treasury
in 1877; Senator again in 1881, and he
remained one of that body until Presi-
dent Mckinley made him Secretary of
State in 1897. He retired from the
Secretary's office because OF failing

higher than they had ever been.

What followed?
Every workingman, every employee
and every farmer whose market was
thus curtailed remembers the panic,
depression, gloom, enforced idleness and
want.
All this was the result Of change in
our tariff policy which affected the great
manufacturing interests and which

BRYAN'S LABOR HUMBUG.

+ NE might suppose from Bryan s
constant pratlng about labor
~ and the rights of workingmen
that some grave issue of this
kind must come before the President
and next Congress for settlement.
AS matter of fact labor questions are
nearly all state questions. So far as
the federal government is concerned
there are no unsettled questions OF that
character on hand.
The government at Washington en-
ploys many laborers in that city and
elsewhere throughout the country.
They get good pay and short hours.
They are easily the most fortunate labor
ers in the country. They have not
struck; they are not making any COM
plant. No evidence of dissatisfaction
among these laborers is or can be pro-
duced; nor has Mr.. Bryan ever init
mated any plan or purpose to increase
their wages or tighten their work. His
pratings are al, about wholly different
class OF labor-that which so far as it
can be affected by law at all comes
under the enactments of the states.
If the National Government is to have
enlarged power over trusts, which en-
ploy labor, it can only be through am
endment to the constitution, and that
was defeated by the Bryanites in Con-
gress when brought to vote last June.
