hour he had come home. When he

side his bed.
Instead Of the mirror he got hold OF
the silver backed hairbrush. Not rec

raised finger or tongue against trusts,
although forty-nine of the largest ag'
sregations of capital were In opera

THE EIGHTH DISTRICT CANNOT
AFFORD BURT

Mr.. Bryan entered fervent appeal
on behalf of wellington r. Burt, be-
cause four years ago he was one OF the
few among the capitalist GLASS to come
out in support Of free silver. Remem
bering the bitterness of the defeat he
then encountered, Mr.. Bryan did the
decent thing In paying tribute to those
who believed and went to defeat with
him. or that number Wellington r.
Burt was one, and like his leader, he
has not changed his opinions as to free
silver. If by any chance Bryan and
Burt should be elected, the tw o would
be found working together for "immedi.
ate free silver. In order to carry out
the monetary scheme, which, when all
is said and done, Is the breath OF life
to Mr.. Bryan, he must have control OF
the house and of the senate. Hence his
anxiety that men like Mr.. Burt should
be elected. They are the tools with
which he would do his work. The chief
sufferers by the accomplishment Of that
work would be the common people. In
this connection, the words OF Grover
Cleveland, in his letter to Chicago bust
ness men, on April 18, 1895, are orthy
of remembrance. On Oct. 7, 1900,
Mr.. Cleveland says OF that letter: at
seems to me 1 could not state the case
better at this time IL should try. L
have not changed my opinion as then
expressed, in the least" The 1896
letter concluded in this way:
"If reckless discomfort and wild ex.
pertinent should sweep our currency
from it's safe support, the most defense
less Of all who suffer In that time OF
distress and national discredit will be
the poor, as they reckon the loss in
their scanty support, and the laborer
or workingman as he sees the money
he has received from his toll shrink
and shrivel in his hand when he tenders
it for the necessaries Of the humble
home.

beneficent character and purposes OF

The people of the Eighth congress
sional district cannot afford to assist
the would be wreckers of the financial
system of the country by voting for
Burt. As Mr.. Cleveland points out, the
Bryan and Burt money doctrines mean
"disaster and confusion.
