Why Bryan Is Impossible.


Why Bryan Is Impossible.
The widest Bryan enthusiast, IL he
has thinking head upon his shoul-
ders, dares not believe that Bryan or
any other candidate can be elected
this year on the old free silver issue.
The silver men can at this very time
make a poll Of the States that cast a
clean majority of the electoral votes
and ascertain that they are as abso-
silver issue as If their votes had been
cast and canvassed against him. All
over the country prominent free silver
men are undergoing change of heart
in the light of experience. The South,
solidly Democratic in the past and con-
scientiously loyal to Bryan under the
conditions that existed in 1896, are now
looking for other issues. They realize
that conditions have changed, and so
must the candidates. Prosperity and
supplanted adversely, profitable wages
and higher prices have taken the places
of low wages and low prices. The hum
Of industry has smothered the cries of
Bryan's candidacy in 1896.
The rising call Is for new issues, new
men and a new Democracy, and Re-
publicans who are tickling themselves
over the prospect of what is commonly
called "a walkover'' next fall, because
of the certainty of Bryan's nomination,
should wait moment and think. The

Why More Railways We're Built.
The Railroad Gazette reports that.
according to estimates and facts al
ready at hand, it appears that during
the year ending Dec. 81 more than
4,500 Sniles of new railroad have been
built in the United States. There have
been no figures like these since before
the free-trade blight fell upon the
country through the election Of Grover
Cleveland to the Presidency in 1892.
During the free trade period the aver
age number of miles of new railroad
built per year did not reach half this
amount. Free trade is as preventive of
the further development of the country
and of greater opening up of its re-
sources as it is destructive to business
already established. Every one of
those 4,500 and more miles of new rail
road was built i'm respOnSe to tho de-
mands of some new industry or to the
increased demands for transportation
facilities made by those industries al
ready in existence, and to which new
life was given by the enactment of the
Dingley law. Altogether. as the Ga
zette puts it, "the exhibit is a remark
able evidence of the widespread pros
perity that has at last overtaken the
country"
