this land. with n constantly increasing
purchasing power. Is the enemy or the
poor and menace to society Accord
Ing to the Democratic platform. coed
honest land should never appreciate IN
value, nor should any other honest
thing.
The reitcratIon OF determined oppo-,
sltion to classified civil service is
about the only consistent thing they
did, but there Is humor even in that.
The Democratic party objects to life
tenure in office. This Is an unklnd re-,
Election upon the chronic candldature Of
Colonel Bryan. who began running for
office the year hs arrived In Nebraska
and has never allowed himself to be in
terrupted in that exercise even to this
day. In fact. the most remarkable fen.
ture OF the financial creed preached by
Mr.. Bryan Is not nearly so remarkable
as the skill with which lie has been abla
to coin his candidature into the cur
rency of the realm. His mouth has
been mint. His voice. his lungs. and
his tr3in have been constantly emit
ting coinage to the profit of the pro-
prictor. The returns have been. more
than SIG annually to every 81 invested.
No other trust or monopoly has dcclar-
ed dividends of such magnitude upon so
small capital.
Bryan's Prosperity.
in 1890 Mr.. Bryan was elected TO
Congress from the First Nebraska dis
trict under the old apportionment. At
that time he was practicing law at LIN
coin and earning not to exceed $1,000
per annum. He served two terms In
Congress and retired March 4, 1896.
From the last Date until he became a
candidate for the presidency in 1896. he
Is known to have had one case In court
and no more. But he has been In great
demand MS n platform speaker. During
the years 1897, 1898, 1899, and 1900. while
engaged In his presidential Canvass he
gives no occupation, but he Is assessed
for Sl,4S5, $3.50. and $3.50 in personal
property and understand that he has
$4,000 In government bonds, on which
he pays no taxes. Thus. one may OBJ
serve that the business of running for
president under a gold-standard law
has made Mr.. Bryan u plutocrat and
caused him to wax monopolistlc, and
trustworthy as tax-paying citizen.
Young Mr.. Weston. of Beatrice,
graduate OF Harvard. has made ply
steal development study. He. recent
y met Colonel Bryan after four years
absence, and was Immediately, struck
with extraordinary changes E In his
physiognomy. After closer examina-
tion he determined that the broadening
out of the fnce from the cheek bones
down TO the point OF the chin had been
caused and italicized by the constant,
exercise of the muscles OF the lower
Jaw In oratory.
Colonel Bryan does not want the.
conservative element 10 come back Into
the Democratic party. He hns said. 40
over and over again. In 1890 he made Il
free trade campaign for Congress In
this district. His arguments were very
nearly In accord with my own views on
the tariff, HIS denunclatIon of high
prices for staple goods were cogent and
convincing, but six years artcrward this
same economist was travelling the same
state, denouncing low prIcos and do
claring that unless. higher prices could
be obtained commercial, catastrophe
and ruin would be UNIVERSAL Now It Ia
difficult to tell what sort Of prices he
viii demand for 1900, as boeh low prices
and high prices have been denounced by
him."
