THE FULL DINNER TAIL.
Mr.. Bryan is now inclined to laugh
at the argument of the Gull dinner pan,
Nobody laughed about it four years ago.
1T Is mighty sight easier to laugh q bout
1t when it is full than when it is empty.
When 1t is empty it is serious business
II this nation chooses to turn bcdlamite
and put Mr.. Bryan and try Ills policies
we have nobody but ourselves to thank
for the disaster that will surely follow
1t wont do any good to say that We
| nleaEt well, that we do not mean to hurt
l ourselves. What 1 am saying applies Just
as much to Democrats as 10 Repuplicaf
| 1t is to the interest of all of US ID have
prosperity and good times. Ths oniy
chance OF Mr.. Bryan is in that queer hekle-
ness which people have when they ara
well off. If a man is well off he IS very
willing to take chances When he is
badly off then he is more careful. 1t is
and some people forget. Four years ago
neither Mr.. Bryan nor any ane else
would have dared to sneer at the full
dinner pail and say it did not mean
much, because. then the dinner pail was
not full, and it means a great deal 10
every one of us when the dinner pail is
empty.
BRYAN AND TAMMANY.
