MCKINLEY AND BRYAN CON-
TRASTED
BY A Farmer.

rl
Four years ago Mi. Bryan was bare
" defeated in an almost single handed
contest by the back sliding Of men
from his own party nnduly frightened
BY the terrifying threats Of ruin and
disaster set up by his willy opponents
from ocean to ocean. 70 day after a
four years trial with his opponents in
power, we have imperialism, war, in
creased taxation. carpet bag govern
ment with official robbery, and a thou
sand other ills, all largely at the ex-
pense of the plain working classes,
while trusts and corporations are reap.
ing all resulting profits. In defiance
of their great bugabo0, bimetallism.
they coin five million silver dollars
every month, deemed good enough for
the common people even if worth but
AZ cents, and buy up all Porto Rico
silver money to be also Tecoined into
40 cent silver dollars and returned as
good enough for the use of the colonists
of our new possessions who are also
taxed a duty Of Is per cent. on all the
products they send us for the special
benefit and protection Of our tobacco
and sugar trusts, notwithstanding our
President previously asserted that they
should trade with us free Of duty be-
fore his friends. the trusts, Interview
ed him.
But now that they note that the long
suffering masses are being aroused by
these wei increasing abuses of their
rights, and the continued violation Of
all the fundamental principles Of popn-
lar government, and after passing the
gold standard act, which they unanim-
ousIy commended had forever settled
monetary controversy in their favor,
the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Gage himself, openly asserting that not
even Mr.. Bryan himself, if elected
President, could undo their law making
all debts payable in gold. But now
when they see the danger of their well
merited defeat in November, Mr.. Gage
fright about faces" and declares that
if Bryan is elected he could, and prob
ably would, use silver to pay off gov
eminent debts, despite their highly
lauded gold standard law framed by
presumably the best gold standard tai
emit of the world. In view of the re-
peating shifting of beth the President
and Secretary Gage on all such public
questions and their parrot like asser-
tions that they are the only trustworthy
combination fitted to manage our gov
eminent, who knows but that their
trainers of this gold standard law,
while claiming absolute impregnability
for 1t, purposely left a loop hole from
which to brighten the American peo-
pie into %prolonging their power, or
worse yet. knowing how utterly they
were placing the country and every
business interest behind it at the mer-
cy of any evil minded Shylock Million
aire who should in the future conclude
to corner our entire stock Of gold and
enforce suspension of specie payments,
in order to fleece not only the govern
ment, but every business mar with an
obligation maturing by compelling
tkem TO psz him an hornsous premium
for his gold with which to meet their
obligations, left such a safety door in
the law which the ~exigencies of the
hour compelled the Secretary to dis
close in order, if possible, to arrest the
detection of such men IS Scherrz. OF
ney, Wellington and hundreds Of other
great political leaders, who four years
ago were misled into the belief that
safety could only b essecured with the
so-called Republicans. but who found
them arrayed against every interest
