carnation of Lincoln, Jefferson and
Jackson may be preached from every |
rostrum with delicious effect Denoun-
cling the gold standard at Baltimore that
year this great economist, statesman,
soldier and producer of paramounts de-
clared:
"It will increase the debts of the peo
pie and lessen their ability to pay them.
1t will make times harder and harder"
At New Haven, instructing the youth
of Yale college, the peerless seer and
sage shudderingly
proclaimed of the
gold standard:
"It will starve everybody except the
money changers and the money owners"
And, as he could not tell lie, and
never makes mistake, it is fair to con-
clude that everybody to whom Bryan
spoke in 1896 is now dead except "money
changers and money OWNERS" In the
last four years all the rest have starved
to death and who will vote for Billie
now?
At Hartford, Conn, the peerless said
of the wickedness of gold and it's tricks
"It will transfer the bread which one
man earns to another man who has not
earned it?''
And the question comes laughingly
up to Bryan's face and ingenuously re-
marks: "W no
''''' ~ earned the bread
which has fed you for the four years
since you made that damphool
prophecy?"
"It will make the rich richer and the
poor poorer"
This perfectly original thought express
sed with such egoistic force must not be
lost in 1900 when
the tax assessor
shows that no man in Lincoln has been
getting "richer" with more celebrity dur
ing the last four years than our beloved
leader, the peerless, who, in the same
verbal eruption at Newark, Ohio, said :
1T will decrease the number who are
happy and increase the mum Der who are
in distress"
This last sentence, if verified, might
elect the peerless in 1900, for those in
distress, being in majority, will try
any patent politics presented with proper
certificates of infallibility.
At Minneapolis, Mimi, from intro
spection of his own ceaseless and ex-

pathos and profound insight, declared
of wicked gold:
"It will destroy the hope of the toiling
Masses"
Thus, in the four years just expiring
''the toiling masses" have worked with
out the inspiration of hope. The results
are overwhelmingly in favor of hopeless
labor. Possibly Bryan experiences what
sadness comes when there is no hope?
In the same dicta
evolved at the same
place, same date, Mr.. Bryan makes gold
breeder of "idle men" and destroyer
of opportunity to work and in his great
part of seer and prophet says:
"It will destroy the opportunity for
work and increase the number of idle
men,"
And further along in the stream of his
veracious verbosity The CONSERVATIVE
finds this verified gem:
"It will decrease the volume of stand
ard money"
That is the reason the United States
has now bigger per capita circulation
than ever before 4. e. $27. That is also
the reason why $S5, 900, 900 of the English
loan was snapped up in money -pinched

reason why there are four hundred mil
lions of dollars increase in the circula-
tion. That is why there is an addition

years of $25O,OOO,O00.

Case Is Taken Under Adyisement by

Statement by the

BEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov 23-In
the United States district court today,
before Judges Amos, Thayer and Hook,
hearing was begun in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by attorneys for

United States army, who was dismissed
from the army, fined and sentenced to
term of years in the federal prison at
Leavenworth, on the charge of completely
in alleged attempted frauds in the gov
eminent harbor works contracts at Sa-
Vannah, Ga.
Carter was brought from prison to the
court room in an ambulance unattended,
save by Warden McClaughrey. He ap-
peared selfapossessed, but avoided the
gaze Of spectators, who crowded the
room. He was attired in a new black
suit which the warden had, at the pris-
Oner's earnest solicitation, permitted him
to substitute for his prison garb. His
hair and heavy mustache were much
grayer than when he began serving his
term, and his face was wan.
Frank P. Blair, of Chicago, and Con-
gresham Grosvenor, of Ohio, appeared
for Carter, while Col. J. w. Clous, dcpu-
ty judge advocate general of the army
and District Attorney ]. E. Lambert and
his assistant, H. E. Hone, represented the
